One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

"Captain Kane!!!"

The cheers were deafening, like a long-dormant volcano erupting and shaking the heavens!

The members of the Beasts Pirates welcomed the birth of the new king with almost no psychological barriers and with fervor!

Might makes right!

This is a creed etched into the very bones of the Beasts Pirates!

Now that the new strongest has proven himself with undeniable strength, if Kane doesn't become captain, who will?!

Even King, the last bulwark of the old era, silently caught the unconscious Kaido, calmly and with a hint of melancholy accepting this ending.

Kane, who had defeated Kaido at his peak but clearly had some energy left to spare, was someone he couldn't stop.

Moreover, Kane also has Loki, Yamato, Kuma, Enel, and other formidable fighters of his caliber.

Today's duel is less a contest between the captains of the Beasts Pirates and more a battle for leadership within the crew.

Rather, it's more accurate to describe it as a complete and overwhelming integration and merger of the old order by a new force centered around Kane.

"Captain Kane!!"

On the Rekkuri, Yamato waved his fist, his face flushed with excitement, and his cheers were louder than anyone else's.

It was as if the disheveled man that Jin had carefully carried on her shoulder had no blood relation to her whatsoever.

Hiyori, Robin, and Reiju exchanged glances, each seeing in the other's eyes a sense of relief and barely suppressed joy.

Their faces beamed with radiant smiles.

"Captain Kane!!"

Chopper and Bepo were so excited that tears streamed down their faces, and snot bubbles even came out of their noses.

"Kane is so handsome!"

Bonnie's eyes sparkled with countless little stars as she stared unblinkingly at the golden figure in the sky, as if trying to imprint his appearance deep into her heart.

"Amazing... Absolutely amazing!"

At that moment, a slightly shrill voice, filled with barely suppressed excitement, broke in, accompanied by the continuous clicking of the camera shutter of the Den Den Mushi.

Big Bear frowned slightly and turned to look at him: "It's you? Morgans?"

"Hey, hey, don't get excited."

Morgans frantically snapped photos of Kane in the air from every angle while his hands moved non-stop, explaining hurriedly, "This time, Lord Kane personally invited me! It's absolutely officially authorized!"

Having said that, he didn't care whether Big Bear believed him or not, and once again threw himself into the filming with all his enthusiasm.

He had no doubt that he was witnessing the birth of history!

Back then, when he was an intern reporter, he missed the God Valley battle, a regret he carried for the rest of his life.

This time, facing this historic moment, he was determined to record every detail and every dramatic scene!

He was absolutely certain that right now, right here, the strongest pirate on the high seas had been born!

Yes, having defeated Kaido, who is known as the "strongest creature in the world," in a head-on confrontation, Kane is undoubtedly the number one pirate in the world today!

what?

You're saying there's a world's strongest man?

Ha~ Anyone with eyes can see that Whitebeard is now just a sickly old tiger.

It's all show and no substance.

The thought of sending these world-shaking news stories around the globe and causing a massive uproar made Morgans' feathers tremble with excitement.

He gazed at the figure in the air, as if he were seeing the near future—

A new Pirate King will be born from his pen.

Later, in the main hall of Oni Island.

The officers of the Beasts Pirates gathered together.

Due to the surge in people, the originally spacious hall was packed to the brim, not to mention Loki, the giant prince who had to stay outside the main building because of his enormous size.

"What an exaggerated lineup."

Black Maria's gaze swept around as she quickly took stock of the powerful figures present, her rosy lips parting slightly in surprise.

The Emperor-level combat power includes the newly crowned Kane, and Kaido, who, despite his defeat, still stands at the pinnacle of strength.

Among the top-tier fighters at the level of Yonko's vice-president, there are five: Loki, King, Yamato, Kuma, and Enel!

Its core cadres and promising new stars are countless.

Just a simple overview of the current resources of the Beasts Pirates is enough to make one tremble with excitement.

This is already a terrifying force capable of shaking the world order!

Let alone Black Maria, even Kane, sitting in the main seat, couldn't help but feel his heart surge with emotion as he looked down at the scene of abundant talent and powerful figures below.

After years of hard work, he finally stepped onto the pinnacle stage of this vast ocean!

"Teacher Kai, how does our current lineup compare to the Rocks Pirates back in the day?"

Kane turned his gaze to Kaido, who was drinking heartily to his right, and asked with a hint of curiosity.

Thanks to Princess Mansherry's healing fruit ability, Kaido's injuries have been completely healed.

He put down the huge gourd of wine, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes: "In terms of individual strength alone, you're no weaker than him. If you take into account that strange new ability you used at the end, I wouldn't be surprised if Rocks lost to you."

He still finds Kane's new abilities baffling.

That strange crystalline shell was completely immune to his flames and even ignored the seawater!

His last memory before falling into a coma was Kane, encased in a crystal shell, pulling him out of the sea.

I just don't know, is that ability an immune element? Or—

Immunity Fruit Ability...

"If we're going to discuss which of the two pirate crews is stronger?"

Kaido scoffed, "Then without a doubt, the Beasts will win. The Rocks Pirates are less of a pirate crew and more of a loose alliance forcibly bound together by interests and violence."

Let alone whether they can work together in the face of dire straits, even something as simple as robbing treasure together would cause his so-called "partners" to fight tooth and nail over it.

Kane nodded knowingly.

It seems that the Beasts Pirates are now just a Pro Max version of the Rocks Pirates.

They possess cutting-edge combat capabilities of the same or even greater level, and have stronger cohesion and centripetal force.

At least in the same situation, if the Beasts Pirates participated in the God Valley Incident, the losing side would definitely be the Navy and the World Government.

Even if Im himself possesses Saturn to join the battle!

Because Im's most feared ability to control the dark side... is ineffective against him!

Kane quietly clenched his fist, feeling the new Taijing energy within his body, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He never expected that the Crystallization ability, used in the game to compensate for Pokémon's type weaknesses, would become a kind of invulnerability buff after it descended upon this ocean.

Whether it's natural elements like fire, ice, and lightning, or rule-based Devil Fruit abilities like the Hobby-Hobby Fruit and the Ghost-Ghost Fruit, they are all rendered ineffective by the power of the Crystal.

Similarly, Im's triumphant Black Domination was no exception.

In the previous battle, he achieved that incredible, all-encompassing breakthrough by actively contacting Kaido's flames and constantly using the power of Taijing to "repel" them!

"Gentlemen."

Kane surveyed each of his subordinates, his voice steady and powerful, and concluded: "From this day forward, the Beasts Pirates are the undisputed strongest pirate crew in the world!"

Excitement and pride were evident on everyone's faces.

Even Enel, a proud individual who always obeyed only Kane, couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.

This feels like your company suddenly becoming the top company in the world overnight.

Even if your salary doesn't increase as a result, you'll still feel incredibly excited.

Moreover, on this vast ocean, the title of "the world's strongest pirate crew" will bring real deterrence, resources, and a voice in the world!

"Everyone, get ready."

Kane's voice rang out again, carrying a resolute determination to lead the tide of the times: "At the Fire Festival five days from now, I will announce an unprecedented, massive operation that will change the world order!"

"Unprecedented", "massive", "changing the world order"

These words, like dry tinder thrown into a raging fire, instantly ignited the light in the eyes of all the cadres, and their blood boiled in their chests.

After a brief pep talk, Kane adjourned the meeting.

Soon, the once noisy hall quieted down, leaving only a few core members.

"Hehehehe! Kane."

Kaido picked up his gourd of sake, his eyes filled with curiosity and fighting spirit: "Tell me, which Emperor Pirate crew are you going to take down first?"

The only "major operation" he could think of was to wage a full-scale war against other royal companies.

We can't just... flip the table right now and start a full-scale war with the Marine Headquarters and the World Government, can we?

Even with his recklessness, he wouldn't easily touch a hornet's nest without absolute certainty.

"Which one?"

Kane shook his head, raising an eyebrow: "Mr. Kane, don't you think... the new world is a bit too crowded?"

Kaido was taken aback at first, then his even more unrestrained and wild laughter shook the entire hall.

"Hehehehe!!! Good! Only someone with such ambition deserves to be my boss, Kaido!"

"Kane, what are we waiting for? Let's set off today and sweep through the New World!"

Yamato was rubbing his hands together excitedly, as if he could already see the moment when the banners of all beasts were planted all over the new world, and he couldn't wait to set sail immediately.

"Now? Of course not."

Kane shook his head, a mysterious smile on his face. "Before we begin a new era, I need to pick someone up first."

It's time to rescue that long-hidden trump card—Vegapunk—from the control of the World Government.
