One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Hiyori Kozuki weakly raised her head, forcing a happy smile onto her pale face.

"Yes, you did a great job."

Kane gently brushed aside the sweat-dampened bangs from her forehead, his eyes gentle yet proud.

Hawkeye, however, did not sheath his sword; instead, he looked at Kane with high fighting spirit.

"Let's have a fight, Kane the Scourge!"

Hawkeye's lips curled into a smile, and he pointed his long sword directly at Kane.

"Just to my liking."

Kane reached back and ran his hand through his hair: "I also have a lot of anger that I haven't been able to vent!"

"Yamato, create a battlefield for us."

He definitely can't continue sitting on the Rayquaza when he's fighting Hawkeye, even with the Haki buff, it's easy for him to damage the ship.

"it is good!"

Yamato responded and leaped off the deck the instant her toes touched the sea.

Clap la la!

A sudden burst of biting cold air caused the sea surface to freeze rapidly at a visible speed.

In the blink of an eye, a vast ice field unfolded before everyone's eyes.

"Oh? This ice-making ability is probably second only to Aokiji."

Hawkeye murmured a sigh, then landed lightly on the ice.

The sudden appearance of this ice field also alarmed the people on the Baratie.

"Is that my brother-in-law?"

Since learning that Reiju had also left the Vinsmoke Family, Sanji immediately reverted to his true nature and became much more cheerful.

In that cold family, the only people who were kind to him were his mother and sister.

"Idiot! Who gave you the right to yell like that!"

Reiju blushed slightly and gave Sanji a light tap on the back of the head, sounding annoyed.

After suppressing her younger brother, she looked at the icy plain with worry in her eyes.

On the frozen plains, Kane and Hawkeye stand facing each other.

The battle is imminent!

Author's Note on the Launch of Chapter 60

Yes, this book is about to be released.

I originally planned to save up some drafts, but I didn't expect to receive the notification that my work would be published yesterday.

There was no other way but to force the issue.

There's not much to say. Thank you to all the readers who have followed along the way. Without you, I wouldn't have had the confidence to get to where I am today.

My minimum today is 8,000, and I'll aim for 10,000. Even if I don't reach 10,000, I'll make up for it tomorrow.

As for updates after the book is published, Hippo will strive to update three times a week, totaling 6,000 words.

As for the extra chapter, Hippo checked the backend and found that the fake follower count was over 1,000 points. If the initial subscription count can break 300, an extra chapter will be added for every 100 more.

I won't ask for any tips; everyone's life is tough enough as it is. If there are any, I'll update more chapters depending on the situation.

Finally, I would like to thank all the readers who have read this chapter.

That's all for now, I'm off to write.

Chapter 61 Kane vs. Hawkeye (4K)

"bring it on."

Kane waved to Hawkeye.

Whoosh!

A vibrant green slash instantly tore through the air, hurtling straight toward Kane's face with lightning speed.

"Oh dear, you're really not being polite."

A red light flashed in Kane's eyes, and he sprang forward like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the edge of the slash.

People can dodge, but the ice surface cannot.

The slash cut through the several-meter-thick ice layer like a hot knife through butter, its momentum undiminished, until it disappeared into the distant horizon.

ka ka ka-

With a teeth-grinding, deafening cracking sound, the vast ice field was cleaved open, creating a bottomless chasm from which surging seawater roared and gushed forth.

Sanji, watching the battle, swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing, his voice trembling with disbelief: "Just... just a casual wave of his hand, and such a large ice field was cut in half?!"

Is this something humans can do?

His childhood worldview was completely overturned.

Reiju's expression was extremely solemn: "This... is a monster from the new world."

Sooner or later, she will encounter such a powerful enemy in her future.

"Yamato!" Kane shouted.

Yamato understood immediately, and a burst of freezing energy erupted from his body.

A biting cold current swept across the sea, and within seconds, the surging cracks were frozen again, and the sea surface returned to its solid state.

"This is bad; it seems we've made a bit too much noise."

Kane scratched his head in frustration.

Hawkeye snorted coldly, his black blade pointing diagonally: "What's the point of this battle if we can't give it our all?"

"Well, that makes sense."

Kane grinned wildly. "It's been a long time... since I've really let loose!"

Before he finished speaking, he shattered the ice with his legs and shot into the sky like a cannonball.

A dazzling green light burst forth from his body, as if a small sun had been ignited.

Wow!

The light exploded, transforming into countless green specks of light that scattered across the sky, as the gods of the heavens roamed among the dazzling galaxy.

At the same time, the clear sky was suddenly swallowed up by endless leaden clouds, and thick lightning bolts swam wildly in the heavy clouds, flashing with electricity.

Kane's figure disappeared straight into the rolling thunderclouds.

Behind him, dozens of sharp, emerald-green slashes relentlessly pursued him.

The clouds were cut open with cracks, but Kane quickly closed them up with his control of the dark clouds.

Guided by Kane's will, the dark clouds churned, converged, and compressed like living things. The last ray of light was completely swallowed up, plunging the world into a suffocating darkness.

Suddenly, a low, muffled roar, like thunder, exploded deep within the clouds.

"thunder!"

In an instant, countless thick, menacing bolts of lightning tore through the darkness and crashed down on Eagle Eye on the ice field.

"A lightning strike of this magnitude?"

Hawkeye's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his fighting spirit soaring even higher: "However, only defeating such a formidable foe can truly ignite my fighting spirit!"

With a flick of his wrist, the Black Blade Night transformed into a blurry curtain of light.

One after another, sword energies that could cleave the heavens and split the earth surged upwards, colliding precisely with the raging lightning pillars!

boom! boom! boom!

The deafening explosions continued incessantly.

The scattered lightning, like wildly dancing golden snakes, crashed onto the ice surface, blasting open one huge, charred crater after another.

Finally, the ice field, having endured too many impacts, let out a groan of unbearable strain.

Click! Click! Click—

The vast ice field completely collapsed, splitting into hundreds of ice floes of varying sizes by the blasted craters.

The violent impact unleashed towering waves, causing even the massive Sky Piercer to shake violently and rise and fall with the tide.

Hawkeye had no choice but to unleash his domineering aura to firmly anchor himself to the ice floe beneath his feet and regain his balance.

"Wow, as expected of Kane the Cataclysm! FIRE!"

On the Baratie, a short, middle-aged man held up a camera and frantically pressed the shutter button on the battlefield, with the flash going off frequently.

It wasn't until the shutter clicked that Reiju realized someone had appeared beside her. She frowned warily and asked, "Who are you?"

"Just a photographer who happened to be passing by."

The man casually replied, while the camera followed the battlefield closely, searching for the best angle.

Following Hawkeye this time was definitely the right decision.

The photographer, nicknamed "Flame Little Patter," was extremely excited.

Sanji had no time to pay attention to the strange man who had suddenly appeared. His gaze was fixed on the battlefield, his pupils reflecting the earth-shattering scene, as if he wanted to etch this shocking moment into his mind.

Was it a natural disaster?

That's truly well-deserved.

"Hmm, lightning seems to have limited effect."

Above the clouds, Kane looked down and murmured to himself.

The eagle eye below looked disheveled, but it was actually unharmed; at most, it had just expended some energy.
