One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

"Come on, let's fly over there."

Kane didn't intend to hide the news of Xiao Zi's acquisition of abilities; she would eventually need to train them, and even if he did hide it, he couldn't keep it a secret for long.

"Huh?" Little Purple peered over; the ground was dozens of meters above the ground. "Could...could you give me some time to get familiar with it, Lord Kane?"

"Who do you think you are now? Do you think this little bit of height can stump a Mythical Beast-type ability user?"

Kane shook his head. "You're not Guina. A mere few dozen meters high, even if you fall straight down, you probably won't even break a bone."

He stopped trying to persuade her, reached out and grabbed Xiao Zi by the scruff of her neck, then flung her away.

"Aaaaaaah~"

A terrified scream pierced the sky.

Driven by her survival instinct, Xiao Zi reached out her claw in mid-air, and a cloud of auspiciousness instantly condensed in her hand.

"Whew~ It's a success!"

Xiao Zi looked down at the ground less than ten meters below and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Kane's voice rang in her ears: "Let's go, let's fly on the auspicious clouds!"

With that, Kane moved and flew forward first.

"Wait for me, Lord Kane!" Little Purple hurriedly chased after him on auspicious clouds.

Xiao Zi's sudden appearance startled the Beast Pirates below.

A drunken pirate mumbled, "Boss Kaido, why did you shrink?"

"Idiot!" The pirate next to him smacked him hard on the head. "The color is wrong! That must be Kaido's bastard son!"

"Oh, I see."

The pirates suddenly realized, no wonder he looked so much like their boss Kaido!

Soon, the news of Kaido's illegitimate son's appearance spread like wildfire throughout Onigashima.

Chapter 46 Meeting Kawamatsu

Ghost Island, banquet hall.

Completely unaware that his innocence had been compromised, Kaido sat cross-legged in the main seat, enjoying the geisha performance while pouring sake into his mouth.

"Father, is your illegitimate child my brother or sister?!"

Upon hearing the news, Yamato excitedly pushed open the door and rushed in.

puff--

Kaido, who had just taken a swig of sake from his gourd, instantly transformed into a jetpack warrior and sprayed Yamato all over his face.

"What are you talking about, you stupid girl! I don't have any other children besides you!"

Kaido's eyes widened, and he reached into his cloak with his left hand to grab Pigsy.

Children who misbehave are often deserving of a beating.

Yamato wiped the wine off his face, looking aggrieved, and said in detail, "People outside are saying that your illegitimate child has arrived."

"What nonsense!"

Kaido stood up angrily, saying that he could be insulted, but he couldn't spread rumors!

"Sir, it was Kane who caused this trouble."

Jin walked in at the right moment and explained, "The reason is that a dragon that looks exactly like you, but is pink, appeared on Onigashima. Now, the pink dragon has left Onigashima with Kane and is flying towards Udon in Wano Country."

Before Kaido could give any instructions, King continued, "Regarding public opinion, I have already explained things to those pirates, and no one will talk about this outrageous rumor anymore."

"Hehehe, I see. Kane didn't lie to me."

Kaido laughed heartily as he gained another top-tier Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, but the next second, his lips curled into a sinister smile: "That kid actually dared to cause me this trouble. It seems I didn't put enough pressure on him."

Kane has done him such a big favor, he really needs to help Kane learn those domineering techniques as soon as possible...

Far away in Udon, completely unaware of the tragic future that was about to unfold, Kane stood on a high platform, explaining the latest policies to the prisoners.

Of course, he had already obtained Kaido's consent on the way here.

"Apart from the prisoners I want to subdue, it doesn't matter if you kill everyone in Rabbit Bowl."

That's what Kaido said.

"Rejoice! This is a gift from Mr. Kaido!"

Babanuki, the warden of the Rabbit Bowl prison quarry, raised his hands and shouted.

The prisoners looked at each other, unsure whether this was part of Kaido's scheme.

Under the oppressive aura of the surrounding Beast Pirates, only a few prisoners gave a token clapping.

Many prisoners gathered around a thin old man and asked, "Uncle Soldier, what's that bastard Kaido up to?"

"Let's wait and see. The fox will show its tail sooner or later."

Hyogoro was equally puzzled. Based on his understanding of Kaido, if he wanted to harm them, he wouldn't do something so unnecessary.

It can't really be to improve their lives, can it?

Kane paid no attention to the murmuring prisoners below.

Once one person successfully redeems the reward, the rest will naturally embrace the system and become the most diligent workers among all the beasts.

On the other side, Quinn buzzed around Little Purple like a fat bee.

"Listen to me, Little Purple, there's no future in following Kane. In terms of seniority, when I was working for Kaido, he was still wearing open-crotch pants."

Quinn's mouth moved so fast it sounded like rap, and his cigar danced up and down with each opening and closing of his mouth.

Faced with the big signboard of all beasts, Little Purple dared not offend it easily, and could only respond half-heartedly, but she still managed to make Queen very happy.

Lick the dog!

Kane glanced speechlessly at Quinn's beaming smile.

He probably hadn't heard the saying: the forest path you long for is already bustling with traffic.

"Ah, Lord Kane!"

Noticing Kane's gaze, Xiao Zi's expressionless face instantly broke into a smile, and she ran towards Kane.

"No, no, no!"

Quinn stretched out his right hand to try to stop her, but only managed to grab a wisp of air. He could only watch helplessly as Little Purple was thrown into Kane's arms.

It was as if a background music was playing in the air:

Snowflakes fluttered down, the north wind howled, and the world was shrouded in a vast expanse of white.

hateful!

What exactly do I lack compared to that kid Kane?

In terms of height, looks, and bounty, in what way am I not better than Kane?

Kane then revealed another piece of news that shocked Xiao Zi: "Would you like to meet your benefactor, He Song?"

Xiao Zi covered her mouth with both hands in surprise, her eyes brimming with tears: "Is Kawamatsu here too?"

Kane nodded: "He was caught because he entered the capital to steal fried tofu, which gave him away."

Little Purple clung tightly to Kane's arm, pleading, "Please, you must let me see him."

Kane had no objection; he brought Little Purple with this in mind.

He Song is resilient and kind-hearted. As one of the Nine Heroes of the Crimson Sky, he is also quite strong and worth recruiting.

He was still a fish-man.

Kane might need him when dealing with Fishman Island in the future.

Babanuki led Kane and Little Purple slowly into the depths of the quarry prison.

“Be careful, Lord Kane. That murloc is arrogant and has killed several of our brothers with fish bones, so we’re feeding him deboned, poisonous fish now.”

As Babanuki was trying to persuade them, a dark figure suddenly appeared from the darkness with a "whoosh".

Kane didn't even look at it, raised his hand, pinched it between two fingers, and caught it steadily.

"It seems you guys aren't being careful enough with your work." Kane smiled slightly and released the white fishbone from his fingertip.

"I'm sorry, Lord Kane, it was our mistake." Babanuki hurriedly bowed and apologized.

Kane waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, give me the key, I'll talk to him."

After sending Babanuki away, Little Purple couldn't hold back any longer.

With a sob in her voice, Xiao Zi called out towards the depths of the prison cell, "He Song, is that you?"

"Princess?"

Kawamatsu's questioning voice rang out, then his tone changed and he shouted sharply, "No, you pirates of the Beasts, don't try to fool me, you can't possibly capture Princess Hiyori."

"Kawamatsu, it really is me."

Xiao Zi choked up as she tried to prove herself: "Do you still remember that day when you rescued me from Jiuli City and saw I was unhappy, you danced the kappa dance for me?"

Upon hearing this, a dark figure instantly appeared at the prison door.

He gripped the railing, staring intently at Xiao Zi's face, trying to connect the young girl in front of him with the little girl in his memory.

Xiao Zi then revealed a few more details that only she and He Song knew.

At this point, Kawamatsu finally confirmed Komurasaki's identity.

"Princess, you're alive! That's wonderful!"

Hesong was both crying and laughing.

He has not suffered in vain all these years.

Little Purple started crying too.

After a while, He Song gradually stopped crying, then suddenly realized something was wrong: "Princess, how did you get in?"
