One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

"Leave it to me."

Princess Mansherry lightly leaped onto Aruru's enormous forehead, standing at the edge of the wound that was as vast as a canyon to her.

She closed her eyes, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and began to concentrate.

Soon, tears containing powerful healing energy slid down her fair cheeks like pearls from a broken string, dripping precisely into her wounds.

Then a miraculous scene unfolded.

Inside the empty wound, fresh granulation tissue was growing, intertwining, and fusing at a visible speed.

In just over ten minutes, the huge, shocking wound that was so deep that the bone was visible had completely healed, leaving only a faint pink mark of new flesh, as if it had never been injured at all.

"Healed!"

Princess Mansherry opened her eyes, looked at her masterpiece, and revealed a tired but incredibly happy and satisfied radiant smile.

"awesome!"

"Long live King Kane! Long live the doctors!"

Upon hearing this definite good news, the giants, who had been suppressing their emotions for so long, could no longer hold back and erupted in deafening cheers.

This huge commotion finally woke up the sleeping Aruru.

"Hmm~ Is the surgery over?"

Aruru opened her eyes and stretched comfortably: "I haven't slept this well in a long time."

"How are you feeling?" Kane asked as he walked over to him.

Yaru frowned slightly, carefully sensing the condition of her head.

Soon, an incredulous look of ecstasy appeared on his face: "It's better than ever before! My head... doesn't hurt at all anymore!"

Before, my head would ache terribly whenever I tried to recall or think hard, but now that feeling is completely gone! It's so relaxing!

"Great!"

All the doctors present breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

This extremely difficult surgery was finally a complete success.

"Thank you so much this time."

Yaru sat up, her gaze sweeping over each member of the medical team, her eyes filled with gratitude.

At this moment, Loki interjected, "Hey, old man, do you remember what happened that day?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Yaru's face vanished instantly, replaced by a complex expression that mixed with heaviness, sorrow, and helplessness.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately understood that Aruru had regained his memories.

"Loki did kill his father, King Harald. But he did not intend to kill his father."

Yaruru stated the conclusion directly.

Halding couldn't believe it: "How could patricide be forced?!"

Aruru sighed deeply: "Of course it exists... because if Loki hadn't done that, then... the entire Elbaf would have been destroyed!"

Back then, he and Loki were summoned to Auersto Castle by Harald.

He thought they were going to discuss Elbaf joining the World Government, but what he saw in the meeting room was a scene that still sends chills down his spine.

"I don't know what happened, but Harald's appearance... has changed. Not only his appearance, but the aura he exudes has also become incredibly evil and unfamiliar."

"The royal soldiers surrounded him, desperately trying to kill him by stabbing him with their weapons."

This description shocked the giants present.

This is completely different from the version of events they've heard over the years!

Haildin pressed on urgently, "Why did those soldiers do that? Was it a mutiny?"

Aruru shook his head: "No, it wasn't a rebellion. Quite the opposite, it was Harald... who asked them to do it."

“‘I’m possessed by a demon, you have to kill me.’ That’s what he shouted at us.”

"But the soldiers' attacks were completely ineffective. Harald's life force did not weaken; instead, it grew stronger, and the evil aura became increasingly intense..."

"So, at the last moment, he pleaded with me and Loki..."

What happened next is already known to everyone.

Loki killed Harald and bore the infamy of 'parricide,' while Aruru was severely injured in the battle and lost all related memories.

Chapter 185 Two New Techniques of Conqueror's Haki

Loki, who had carried the stigma of patricide for many years, was finally exonerated.

Although the giants still didn't like the disgraced prince, they at least no longer saw him as a sinner who had to be banished.

The dark cloud that had been hanging over Elbaf has finally dissipated for the time being.

After dealing with the internal affairs of the giants, Kane once again approached Jabba, who had been observing quietly from the sidelines.

Jabba frowned slightly: "You want to know what happened after God Valley?"

"By now, you should have realized that Harald's transformation is exactly the same as that of Lockes back then."

Kane's tone was grave: "To defeat that guy hiding deep within the government, I need to learn more. Especially... effective methods for dealing with those 'undead'."

"You know a lot."

Jabba gave Kane a deep look, remained silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly, "Considering what you've done for Elbaf and for Aruru, I might as well tell you. Back in the Valley of the Gods..."

"...So you mean that Rocks' Conqueror's Haki was so powerful back then that it took Roger and Garp working together and unleashing their strongest attack to completely defeat him?"

Kane's face showed no trace of shock.

Even though Roger and Garp may not have reached the peak of their respective strength during the God Valley era, they undoubtedly still stood among the "Emperor-level".

It took the combined might of two Yonko to deplete Rocks' Conqueror's Haki and health bar. No wonder Rocks could use the Admirals as speed bumps back then.

Defeating Im is a long and arduous task.

But Jabba's account also cleared up many of his long-standing doubts.

As expected, Conqueror's Haki can not only be used to deal with immortals, but also for defense.

So, the current version is undoubtedly Conqueror's Haki!

Teacher Kai is right, domineering, indeed, transcends everything!

"Mr. Jabba."

Kane composed himself, looked intently at the old man before him, and made a direct request: "Can you teach me these skills?"

Upon hearing this, Jabba was visibly taken aback, then pointed at himself incredulously: "You...you're asking me for advice? Hey kid, don't forget my relationship with Shanks!"

He and Shanks have been friends for many years; he watched Shanks grow up.

Kane waved his hand dismissively, his face even showing a hint of self-righteousness: "One thing at a time, let's discuss each one separately."

Besides, you've lived in Elbaf for so many years, it's only reasonable for you to pay a 'knowledge tax' to me, the King of Elbaf, isn't it?"

Looking at Kane, who was grinning and acting all serious, Jabba was both amused and exasperated.

To be fair, setting aside the rivalry between Kane and Shanks in the New World, he personally had no ill feelings towards Kane, and even admired his courage and skill.

not to mention……

Jabba's gaze inadvertently swept over Ace.

"Fine, consider it an old man's debt to you."

Jabba sighed, as if he had let go of some burden, and his tone became relieved.

Over the next period of time, Jabba began to explain and demonstrate two advanced uses of Conqueror's Haki to Kane.

“I see…” Kane said thoughtfully.

Just as Kane was pondering this, Ace's expression changed constantly, clearly indicating that he was experiencing a violent shock.

The old man... actually fought alongside that man?

In Ace's mind, although Garp seemed cynical, he was extremely principled and intolerant of wrongdoing, especially when it came to matters of principle.

It's astonishing that someone like him would fight alongside Roger.

Perhaps Roger wasn't so utterly wicked after all?

Seemingly sensing Ace's intense inner turmoil, Jabba said in a deep voice, "Ace... you are Roger's child, aren't you?"

Ace was startled, somewhat taken aback: "You...recognize me?"

Jabba's face showed a complex emotion, with a look of reminiscence: "Heh, it would be hard not to recognize you. Your appearance, especially your eyes and the way you smile, is exactly like Roger when he was young."

Seeing that Jabba clearly wanted to speak with Ace alone, Kane tactfully patted Ace on the shoulder, giving him a look that said, "Let's have a good talk."

Then, he led his other companions and quietly turned away, leaving this quiet space to the descendants of these two old friends with a special connection.

On their way back to their room at the tavern, the group inevitably started talking about Lox.

These legendary pirates with their formidable strength always inspire curiosity and longing.

The discussion became even more heated when they learned that Loki, one of their companions, had actually had direct contact with the legendary Rocks.

"Rocks, he was strong, undeniably strong. At the same time, he also possessed a huge ambition to conquer the world."

Loki's gaze became distant and complex, as if piercing through time to see that unrestrained figure.

"There was a time when I even believed from the bottom of my heart that he was 'Nika,' the liberating warrior from the legend of the titans, who would laugh as he destroyed the world."

“But Rocks denied my idea. His goal was never some vague liberation, but rather… ‘King of the World’!”

At this point, he gave Kane, who was walking beside him, a meaningful look.

The reason he readily agreed to join Kane's ranks was, to some extent, because he saw in Kane a similar, domineering spirit to that of Rocks, a spirit that looked down upon the world and aspired to the throne.

"King of the World?"

Yamato seemed to have discovered a blind spot; his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Kane, your goal is the same as Rocks'!"

Upon hearing this, Kane neither denied it nor showed excessive excitement; he simply nodded calmly.
