One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

"This...this is Vegapunk's brain?"

This is ridiculously big.

"No time to be surprised, Big Bear."

Kane's gaze swept across the direction of the passage, where the noise grew closer: "We need to hurry up and ship our 'delivery.' Let's get this big guy out of here first!"

He flicked his fingers, and the sharp blades of air bursting from his fingertips swiftly sliced ​​through the thick pipes and data cables connecting the glass dome.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

The pipeline snapped immediately.

"Leave the rest to me."

The bear slowly walked to the front of the huge device, raised its broad palm, and aimed the fleshy ball in its palm at the glass cover.

With a single strike, he can send this crucial "brain" flying to its designated location.

"Don't think about it!"

A loud shout rang out.

Chapter 199 Goal Achieved

A loud shout and a bone-chilling cold erupted simultaneously.

Several sharp ice spears tore through the air, piercing straight into the bear's vest.

The bear didn't even turn its head, its palm firmly imprinted on the surface of the huge glass dome of 'Punk Records'.

boo——

With a strange, soft sound, a translucent spherical bubble instantly enveloped the entire device.

The next moment, under the influence of the Paw-Paw Fruit, the bubble, along with the invaluable brain inside, flew towards the large hole in the dome that Kane had previously torn open.

Almost simultaneously, the ice spear arrived!

boom!boom!boom!boom!

The jet-black fist struck first, positioned between the ice spear and the bear.

Kane's figure had appeared in front of them without them even noticing, his fist leaving afterimages as he swung it.

The ice spear, powerful enough to pierce steel, was now as fragile as glass, shattering into countless crystalline ice shards that scattered across the sky.

Kane casually flicked his hand and said with a smirk, "You were quick to greet me, but unfortunately, you're a step too late, Admiral Aokiji."

"That's not necessarily true—!"

A cool, sharp rebuke came from above!

Gion's figure had already leaped into the air at some point, his slender body like a taut bow, drawing his sword to slash at the bubble about to fly out of the dome.

But just as the golden sword was drawn, a fair hand, like an iron clamp, firmly grasped her wrist as she drew the sword.

"what?!"

Gion's pupils contracted sharply as Kane's face, with a calm smile, was reflected in her beautiful eyes.

She exerted force in her right arm instantly, her muscles tensing, trying to break free and complete the slash, but it felt as if her wrist was cast in diamond and remained completely still!

Kane pushed his elbow inward.

Clang!

A crisp metallic scraping sound rang out, and the sharp blade was forcibly pressed back into its sheath!

"Tsk, Miss Gion."

Kane spoke as if dealing with a sulking child, his tone tinged with a helpless smile, "Fighting and killing is no good. Can you be quiet?"

"dream!"

A fierce glint flashed in Gion's eyes, and he decisively abandoned the idea of ​​drawing his sword.

His left knee shot out like a cannonball, instantly covered by Armament Haki, and thrust at Kane's groin at a tricky and ruthless angle!

Boom!

Gion felt a sharp, tingling, and numb sensation in his knee.

it hurts!

Did I bump into a sea stone?

"Do you know how terrifying this move is for a man?"

Kane's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. His right hand, which was gripping her wrist, did not loosen its hold, while his free left hand clenched into a fist and was pulled to his side, with a domineering black and red aura swirling around it.

The mere gathering of power caused the surrounding air to distort and tremble!

"Go to sleep for a while."

The moment the words left his mouth, his fist, like a cannonball, slammed into Gion's flat, firm abdomen!

boom!!!

With the force of the punch, highly condensed Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted!

Gion's eyes widened instantly, her lips parted slightly but no sound came out, she felt an irresistible force and a shock that struck her soul at the same time.

"Well--!"

She flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

A deep crater suddenly appeared in the ground, filled with smoke and dust.

The man from Gion lay at the bottom of the pit, already unconscious.

"Gion—!!"

With eyes wide with rage, Jiaji rushed to the edge of the pit with almost instantaneous speed, his hands trembling as he checked her breathing and pulse.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her chest was still rising and falling slightly.

But he immediately looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and a burning rage and fighting spirit almost burst forth.

"Damn it! Mr. Kuzan!"

Jiaji let out a low growl, his voice hoarse.

He clenched his fists, waiting for the general's order to fight to the death.

Kuzan's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water. He stared intently at Kane, who looked relaxed, and the bear, who had completed his mission and was standing quietly to the side.

Anger was burning him up, but his remaining rationality was frantically warning him.

With the current fighting force, let alone capturing the opponent, it would be a miracle if they weren't defeated one by one by Kane.

Even if Kizaru manages to break free and join forces in time, the odds of victory against Kane, who seems capable of ignoring their attacks and possesses terrifying strength, are chillingly slim.

With two generals and two reserve generals, plus the Seraphim army, this lineup would have been enough to suppress or even defeat any of the Four Emperors.

But he still wasn't confident in fighting Kane.

but……

Some things, even if you know they are impossible, you must still do them!

"Additionally, take Gion to the emergency room first."

Kuzan's voice was cold and resolute as he ripped off the navy cloak that symbolized honor but was now somewhat of a hindrance: "Leave this to me."

A surge of icy energy erupted, and a crystal-clear ice saber rapidly materialized in his hand.

He took a step forward, and a patch of frost spread out beneath his feet.

"Big Bear".

Kane seemed oblivious to Kuzan's resolute stance, turning to his companion and saying, "You go and meet up with Enel first, make sure Vegapunk escapes safely. I'll take care of things here."

"Understood." Big Bear said succinctly, then turned to leave.

"Pacifista! Seraphim!"

Kuzan could not let such a key target escape, and immediately gave a cold order: "Intercept Bartholomew Bear!"

"Command confirmed. Target locked: Bartholomew Big Bear. Execute intercept procedure."

The pacifists and the seraphim immediately turned their gazes to the bear.

In an instant, several dazzling laser beams shot out, blocking their retreat.

The bear didn't stop walking; it simply swung its hand back, accurately swatting several laser beams aside, triggering a chain of explosions.

At the same time, several Seraphim also demonstrated amazing teamwork capabilities.

"Take this move from me!"

Empress S-Her hands formed a heart shape in front of her chest, a pink halo shimmering around her: "No more, no more, no more! Sweet and refreshing!"

The alluring light waves spread out in a fan shape, and wherever they passed, even the air seemed to soften.

"Fishman Karate..."

S-Shark, who possesses the Water-Water Fruit power, plunged his palm into the ground, instantly liquefying it. He then abruptly raised his hand: "Water Slash!"

Water droplets shot out like cannonballs!

S-Hawkeye, who possesses the power of the Quick-Cut Fruit, crossed his arms, extended chilling blades from his ten fingers, and unleashed several flying slashes in mid-air.

However, this saturation attack was completely blocked by a figure that suddenly moved to the side!

It's Kane!

The waves of light from the sweet breeze struck him, but they vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

The high-pressure water bomb struck his chest, exploding into a cloud of dust, but it did not make him take a single step back.

The fierce flying slash struck his arm, but ultimately only resulted in it collapsing.

After the attack ended, Kane dusted off non-existent dust and smiled slightly.

"Your opponent, now, is me."
