One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

There's a traitor in the lab!

That was his first reaction.

No wonder the beasts seemed to know exactly what they were up to and weren't afraid of them refusing to make an offer.

Everything is connected; everything is connected.

The clown mask calmed himself down: "I want to know why, as you said, it was a failure."

"That's an insult! That's an insult to my most respected captain!"

Kane's face contorted with rage, his voice filled with fury: "I will absolutely not allow that fruit made from Mr. Kaido's blood to remain outside!"

"Wait, I need to confirm something." The clown mask hurriedly left.

Punk Hazard, a research base for the Naval Science Force.

A man answered the phone.

He was short in stature, but his head was over seven meters tall.

Vegapunk, a genius scientist, is known as the man with "the world's largest brain".

"What? An artificial Devil Fruit made based on Kaido's bloodline factors?"

After a moment's thought, Vegapunk retrieved information about the fruit from his vast brain database.

“Yes, that’s true. It was a failed product. I’ve kept it in the storage room for twenty years.” Vegapunk narrowed his eyes slightly, without hesitation.

"Okay, thank you, Doctor."

On the other end of the phone, the clown mask hung up, thought for a moment, and then dialed another number.

This time, it was a Vegapunk deputy at the research base who answered the phone.

"Yes, it was indeed a failed product. After the doctor made it, he threw it directly into the storage room without even glancing at it."

"What? You found it? Someone wants it? Who's so foolish as to want a failed product?"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked. I'll go find it right away."

The man on the other end of the phone was sweating profusely and apologized repeatedly.

After reprimanding Vegapunk's second-in-command, the Joker Mask realized it was time to reorganize the research base.

A mere deputy dared to ask him for information.

He could easily imagine how poor the sense of confidentiality was among the personnel at the research base!

The clown mask silently drafted a reorganization plan in his mind, then turned back to Kane.

"We agree to your request. The fruit and the giant will be traded to you together with the seastone ore."

"no problem."

Kane readily agreed.

The deal was completed, and the three CP0s ignored Kane's invitation to dinner and left immediately.

This negotiation was far from pleasant for them.

Once the three figures had completely disappeared, a big smile bloomed on Kane's face.

Excellent, absolutely excellent.

That artificial Azure Dragon Fruit was a failure for the perfectionist Vegapunk.

Because the colors are wrong; Kaido's fruit is blue, while that fruit is pink.

But apart from that, the Pink Dragon Fruit has all the abilities that the Azure Dragon Fruit possesses!

Seeing Kane's smile, Xiao Zi smiled too.

"What are you laughing at?" Kane asked curiously.

"If Lord Kane is happy, then I am happy."

This is how Xiao Zi answered.

"Little Purple, you really know how to make people happy."

Kane lifted Xiao Zi's fair chin and pressed it directly against her skin.

"Lord Kane, I truly mean it... um..."

Xiao Zi gradually fell backward.

After venting his emotions, Kane regained his composure.

The results of this transaction still need to be reported.

Naturally, Kane's improvisation gave Kaido a big surprise.

"Hehehehe, a failed product of the ancient giants? I'll take anything like that!"

The war with the Charlotte family exposed the Beasts' lack of mid-level officers.

Kaido is having a headache over this, since mid-level officers aren't cannon fodder pirates; these kinds of people don't just appear out of nowhere.

Unexpectedly, Kane solved his problem with just a deal with the World Government.

In addition...

"A Devil Fruit created by Vegapunk, possessing the same power as Lao Tzu?"

Kaido paused for a moment, and then the sound of gulping alcohol came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Kane guessed that he was reminiscing about his youthful days, when Kaido and King met in Vegapunk's laboratory.

After a while, Kaido's boisterous voice rang out.

"Since you're the one who secured it, you can distribute it as a reward for this negotiation."

How generous of you, Mr. Kaido.

Although Kaido is treacherous and cunning, and treats human life as worthless, he is truly good to his subordinates.

He wasn't upset when Jack was defeated. He didn't care when Runti criticized him, and even tried to smooth things over.

Chapter 42 Cultivation

While Kane and Kaido were talking, on the other side of the world, a group of people were also discussing them.

Above the red earth continent.

Mary Geoise, Pangaea.

This is the center of power in the world.

"The Scourge... Kane?"

The man, dressed in a black suit, with white curly hair, a bushy white beard, and a black flat cap, one of the Five Elders, the God of Scientific Defense, Satan Saint, spoke calmly: "What a greedy fellow."

"That doesn't matter. We have plenty of resources to feed them. Their impoverished minds simply cannot imagine how rich we are, having ruled the world for eight hundred years."

A bald man dressed in a white Taoist robe, wearing glasses, known as the Financial God of War Nasujuro Sei, stood by the window, gazing at the distant scenery, a demon sword called the First Generation Kitetsu in his hand:

"My only concern is that the kid's Devil Fruit has never been recorded in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia."

Since the World Government was established, they have been diligently recording the Devil Fruits that appear on the sea.

The Celestial Dragons' internal records even contain information from 800 years ago.

When it comes to understanding Devil Fruits, no one knows better than them.

But Kane's Devil Fruit ability seemed to pop out of nowhere.

The unknown means risk.

"Let's observe first. Kane's abilities in that battle were formidable, but they didn't exceed our expectations."

Wearing a dark green suit, bald, and sporting a mustache shaped like the number eight, the Martial God of Law, Vochuli Saint, concluded: "For eight hundred years, countless geniuses have emerged on the sea, but in the end, haven't we been the ones who ultimately triumph?"

"Even someone as powerful as Rocks, we can still extinguish the light of his life."

……

Ghost Island.

"Phew~ Come on, why do I have to train with them? I'm supposed to be the lookout."

Wearing a specially made weighted suit, Violet ran along the dirt road on the edge of Ghost Island, sweating profusely, panting heavily, and feeling as if her throat was on fire.

Such high intensity right from the start was too painful for a princess who had been pampered since childhood.

"If you're too weak, I'll be in a lot of trouble. Don't forget, you're now a member of the Emperor Pirates! Your opponents are all famous figures on the sea."

Wearing a special seastone bracelet on his wrist and dragging a special steel ingot behind him, Kane caught up with Violet, panting heavily, after looping the bracelet around her twice: "You are my partner, and I would be very sad if you were killed."

The officers on his ship must be quite capable.

Even Nami, whose fighting strength is currently considered weak in the Straw Hat Pirates, will be able to compete with Cracker and Ulti in the future.

Behind Kane, Yamato, dressed similarly, charged forward with great momentum and overtook Kane.

"Hahahaha, Kane, I'm going to win!"

"It's still a long way off!"

Kane quickened his pace to catch up, leaving Violet deep in thought behind.

Partner?

At that moment, Xiao Zi, who was also wearing a weighted suit, chased after them from behind.

Her face was deathly pale, but she didn't stop walking, passing Violet: "Keep it up."

Violet quickened her pace to walk alongside Xiao Zi, looking at the resolute woman before her. She asked curiously, "And why are you doing this? Aren't you Kane's personal maid?"

"Me? I guess I want to be someone useful to Lord Kane."

Xiao Zi smiled slightly, recalling the conversation between Kane and her last night.

"Little Purple, do you want to fight alongside me?"

"Me? Fight? Is that alright?"
