One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

A confident smile curved his lips: "I'm different from him, I will win."

"Of course!"

The companions echoed in agreement.

In their hearts, Kane is the strongest.

"Oh, right."

Loki seemed to suddenly remember something and added, "Rocks once told me that the reason he wanted to cooperate with my father was for a force called the 'Great Hammer Chapter'."

"According to him at the time, this 'Big Hammer Group' was sleeping in some unknown corner of the world, and my dad was the one who could mobilize them."

"The Great Hammer Group? What's that?" The group members all looked on with curiosity.

Loki shrugged. "I don't know."

He was in a semi-isolated state in Elbaf from a young age, and probably knew less about Elbaf than Heldin did.

Not to mention the legendary Great Hammer Chapter.

Kane, however, knew some of the inside story. He explained, "The Great Hammer Chapter is an organization composed of giant shipwrights who specialize in building giant ships."

"The ark Noah on Fishman Island was built by them."

"So they were just a group of shipwrights?" The companions were even more confused.

Even if giants are all born warriors, what destructive power could a shipwright possibly have? And why would an ambitious man like Rocks value him so highly?

Kane smiled slightly: "Don't underestimate the Great Hammer Chapter. Its most unique and terrifying feature is that every member possesses the blood and power of the 'Ancient Giants'!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

This is why Locusts desired the power of the Great Hammer Chapter.

An ordinary elite giant warrior is sufficient to serve as a vice admiral.

The ancient giants, whose physical qualities and potential far surpassed those of ordinary giants, possessed combat power that was immeasurable.

It can be said that, with Harald, the Great Hammer Band is a formidable Yonko (Four Emperors) band.

"Kane, do you know where they are?" Yamato's curiosity was fully piqued, and he asked impatiently.

Loki chimed in, his tone dismissive: "How would he know? That's a mysterious entity that Rocks spent years searching for but couldn't find a trace of."

“I do know of a possible location.”

However, to Loki's surprise, Kane slowly nodded.

Punk Hazard, which later became known as Punk Hazard.

On that island, the figures of ancient giants, frozen in ice, have been clearly seen.

If nothing unexpected happens, that's the Great Hammer Chapter's prison.

Loki glanced at Kane in surprise.

Could the world-shaking era he was hoping for really befall this man?

Otherwise, why would Kane seem to know the Great Hammer Chapter, which Locus couldn't find no matter what he tried?

This is destiny!

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off now to rescue them!"

Yamato was immediately excited, eager to set off.

"Look, you're in a hurry again."

Seeing this, Kane quickly reached out to stop him: "That place is now an important naval base. We cannot easily attack it before we are fully prepared and engage in a full-scale war with the Navy and the World Government."

Speaking of which, there was also a genius scientist on that island whom he had been longing to poach—Vegapunk.

Unfortunately, now is not the best time to rescue this "world's greatest brain" from the control of the world government.

"Ok."

Upon hearing that they could not act for the time being, Yamato's high spirits instantly deflated, like a blade of grass that had been scorched by the sun.

The next day.

The Liekong set sail again, and Jaba's family came to the port to see it off.

"Goodbye, Brother Kane! Goodbye, everyone!"

The little guy, Cologne, jumped and waved his arms with great energy, his voice full of vitality.

Watching the Sky Pierce gradually disappear into the distance, Lipley asked, "Ah Shan, do you think Kane will be the next Lox?"

Jabba recalled his in-depth conversation with Ace yesterday, a smile playing on his lips as he shook his head.

"No, Lipley."

"He will surpass Lox."

……

The sky was clear and the sun shone brightly on the azure sea.

The massive hull of the Liekongzuo, like a sharp blade, steadily cleaved through the sea, leaving a long trail of churning white foam at its stern.

On the deck, everyone took their places and carried out their respective training in an orderly manner, and Kane was no exception.

Jabba taught him two advanced Conqueror's Haki techniques this time.

To be precise, there is only one, because even Jabba himself has not fully mastered how to use Conqueror's Haki for defense.

He only gave a vague direction.

Use your mind to guide the Conqueror's Haki, allowing it to flow into your entire body like water, in order to resist and dissipate external attacks.

It's somewhat similar to the hardening of Armament Haki, but its difficulty increases exponentially.

The reason why most users of Conqueror's Haki can only use it for intimidation and cannot even entangle others is precisely because of its extremely difficult-to-control nature.

The mere entanglement attack is enough to reach the threshold of the Emperor level.

It's easy to imagine how difficult it would be to get this unruly force to "obediently" cover the whole body evenly.

There's another little trick, which isn't too difficult; Luffy once learned it and used it on the spot.

Its function is similar to napalm, covering the enemy's wounds with Conqueror's Haki to prevent them from healing.

Jabba used this move to defeat Somaz.

At that moment, Kane was habitually chewing on fragments of meteorite while intently straining at the water balloon.

At his feet, a considerable amount of rubber fragments from the explosion had already accumulated.

Beside Kane, all his companions who had mastered Conqueror's Haki were also making the same attempts, and the sound of balloons popping could be heard from time to time on the deck.

At this moment, the surface of the water balloon in Kane's hand began to fluctuate erratically, as if the water inside was boiling. Countless tiny protrusions moved beneath it, and black and red electric filaments appeared and disappeared.

boom!

The water balloon burst open without any surprise.

Bonnie, who was serving as the temporary assistant, was already used to it.

She deftly handed a new water balloon to Kane, saying encouragingly, "Kane, you've improved again this time. You lasted two seconds longer than last time."

Kane showed no sign of discouragement; instead, he smiled confidently and said, "I have a feeling that I'm not far from success."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes narrowed, and a burst of black and red domineering lightning suddenly erupted from his palm, instantly disappearing into the water balloon.

Bonnie instinctively raised her little hands to cover her face, preparing for another "shower".

She's gotten used to the bombings these past few days.

However, several seconds passed, and the expected explosion did not occur.

Bonnie carefully and slowly parted her fingers a crack, and through the crack, she saw a water balloon that was still round and full, unharmed, and Kane with a satisfied smile.

Bonnie immediately understood and exclaimed with delight, "Brother Kane, you did it!"

Kane smiled and nodded, then clenched his fist slightly to verify the effect.

puff!

The water balloon burst instantly.

The moment the balloon burst, the Conqueror's Haki inside blasted into Kane's own palm, bringing a strange feeling of numbness and corrosiveness.

Kane carefully savored the change in this domineering aura, his smile growing even wider: "That's right, that's the feeling."

At this moment, the Conqueror's Haki truly became like a leech, continuously hindering and eroding the target.

It's finally done.

Kane was in a great mood.

Having mastered this technique, one will have an effective way to deal with immortal beings in the future.

Unfortunately, this method can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

Judging from the battle at God Valley, the only way to break the immortality is to completely eliminate the curse power within the opponent's body with absolute power.

As for the remaining Conqueror's Haki defense, Kane had a vague idea in mind.

It's simply a matter of learning Armament Haki hardening through practice—getting beaten more often.

Under various powerful attacks, the body instinctively activates Conqueror's Haki for defense.

After being beaten many times, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and you may naturally master it.

Just then, an enticing sweet aroma wafted from the direction of the kitchen, tantalizing everyone's taste buds.

Then, Chiffon came out carrying a huge tray, which was filled with freshly baked, golden-yellow cakes that were steaming hot and smelled of milk, as well as some exquisitely shaped cookies.

"Everyone has worked hard in their cultivation."

She smiled gently and placed the tray on the table in the center of the deck. "Come and rest for a bit, and try some of my new snacks. Replenish your energy so you can continue!"

The companions gathered around, and even Ace, Zoro, and the others who had been immersed in their training were attracted by the aroma and temporarily put down what they were doing.

Bonnie was the first to rush over, grabbing a still-warm piece of cake and stuffing it into her mouth, her eyes crinkling with happiness: "Mmm! It's so delicious! Chiffon Sister, you're the best!"

Kane smiled, picked up a piece, took a bite, and the soft texture and just the right amount of sweetness melted in his mouth.
