One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

The next instant, a jet-black right hand suddenly grabbed Kane's forehead, and black and red Haki lightning erupted from Garp's arm.

Kane gripped Garp's right hand and strained, trying to break free.

But it was too late.

Since that's the case, let's trade injuries for injuries!

Kane's gaze sharpened, and he gathered a surge of immense energy in his mouth once more before unleashing it with overwhelming force.

"Disrupt the light!"

"Falling into the seabed!"

Two devastating attacks erupted simultaneously within the extreme distance where the two bodies were almost touching.

Garp was struck hard in the chest by the devastating beam of light, and his entire body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

Kane felt as if his head had been hit head-on by a high-speed train, the unparalleled impact flowing through Garp's palm and into his body without reservation.

boom!

The solid ground offered no resistance and shattered with a deafening crash.

Kane was slammed into the ground without any resistance.

A massive shockwave exploded outwards.

The shockwave swept across the entire Golpo Mountains, relentlessly hurtling towards the windmill village.

"Wow, the wind is so strong!"

The weaker Sanji and Zoro were even a little unsteady on their feet and could only hold on tightly to the ship's side to keep themselves steady.

Mount Golpo.

After a long while, the smoke and dust in the center of the battlefield finally dissipated.

A dragon claw extended from the edge of the pit and suddenly gripped the ground.

The next second, a tall dragon-man leaped up and landed heavily on the ground.

"Heh, heh, heh..."

Kane was panting heavily, his body was disheveled and covered in blood.

He truly hadn't expected that Garp could unleash such terrifying power.

Indeed, one should not underestimate the strength of the older generation.

Kane staggered to his feet and looked into the distance.

Garp lay on his back on the shattered ground, his chest charred black, covered in wounds.

Hearing the noise, he suddenly opened his eyes and staggered to his feet.

At this point, his condition was slightly better than Kane's, but only slightly better.

Karp knew that, based on their previous exchange, he could temporarily suppress Kane, but he was no match for Kane in a battle of attrition.

He eventually grew old.

Time is the most potent poison.

Even if it were ten years earlier, no, five years earlier, he would be confident of defeating Kane.

Kane slowly walked towards Garp, disregarding their current status, and sat down beside him.

"Old man, how about we talk?"

Karp raised his eyelids slightly but remained silent.

Chapter 76 Luffy's Changed Fate

"It's not a good idea for Roger's son to go to the Navy."

Kane's words struck Garp like a thunderbolt.

"How did you know? Was it Ace?"

Karp instinctively clenched his fist.

He absolutely cannot let this secret be revealed!

Even if it costs me my old life!

Kane waved his hand dismissively, unconcerned by Garp's hostility: "Save your breath, old man. Once a secret is known to a second person, it's no longer a secret."

"I don't care what you're up to, I will never allow you to plot against Ace's identity!"

Garp's eyes widened, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

"Don't worry, I consider Ace a partner."

Kane, regardless of whether Garp believed him or not, continued, "Old man, you said you wanted Ace to join the Navy to protect justice, but does the Navy really represent justice?"

"You should know the darkness of this world better than I do, shouldn't you?"

Kane stared into Garp's eyes, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"No matter how despicable the World Government is, it's still better than you pirate scum."

Garp made no attempt to hide his attitude toward the World Government.

"Really?" Kane chuckled and said sarcastically, "No matter how evil pirates are, you can hardly find many instances of them destroying countries."

"Do I need to remind you? The Celestial Dragons hold a hunting event once every three years."

Kane crossed his arms, his expression exaggerated: "Tsk tsk tsk, every three years, a lifeless little island will appear on this ocean and be brought under the jurisdiction of the World Government."

"If it weren't for Lox, this hunting event would probably still be going on today."

"Grandpa, tell me, if the people on the high seas knew the truth, would they support the navy, which represents 'justice,' or the pirates, who represent 'evil'?"

Garp's expression froze, and he instinctively opened his fists.

It was precisely because he saw through the dark nature of the Celestial Dragons that he kept declining the rank of Admiral and refusing to be promoted.

After all, once you become an admiral, you will inevitably have to protect those trash Celestial Dragons.

"Besides hunting, there was also the slave trade. The Celestial Dragons have always been the biggest buyers in the slave trade, and there's also the Celestial Gold system..."

Kane shook his head and sighed, "The disgusting things the Celestial Dragons have done could fill three days and three nights of recounting."

Garp snorted coldly, "So you're going to hand the world over to scum like you?"

At over seventy years old, he wouldn't be swayed by these few words.

Even the worst order is still order.

With their navy around, people at sea can at least receive some protection.

But what if it were pirates instead...?

Garp has seen countless pirates committing arson, murder, and plunder during his decades in the military.

The Celestial Dragons rarely descend to the mortal realm; their main areas of activity, besides Mary Geoise, are the Sabaody Archipelago.

In remote areas, the Celestial Dragons pose a far greater threat than the vicious pirates.

"Why not?"

Kane countered, "The territories under the New World Emperor's banner are no worse off than those of ordinary member states."

Whitebeard goes without saying; he's the only one who could maintain a monopoly while living a life of poverty.

They basically only collected protection money to cover the expenses of their fleet, leaving them in a situation where they neither starved nor became wealthy.

The situation was similar in Shanks' territory.

Even Charlotte Linlin's World of Treasures.

The conditions seem cruel: all citizens must surrender one month's life every six months.

But they also enjoyed Charlotte Linlin's protection.

In this perilous new world, safety is an absolute luxury.

Moreover, aside from taking lives, the Kingdom of All Nations did not exploit its citizens excessively.

In this world where everyone's worse off, Charlotte Linlin is considered to have managed things quite well.

"Hmph, a pirate is a pirate. No matter how eloquent you are, I won't believe a single word you say."

Garp neither had the ability nor the inclination to argue.

The World Government rules most of the world not through governance, but through blatant violence.

"It doesn't matter. Sooner or later, I will overthrow the Celestial Dragons' rule. Time will tell!"

Kane had rested enough, patted his bottom, and stood up.

He said these words not only to Garp, but also to some anonymous spy king in the heavens.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell the World Government what you said? The Beasts Pirates will definitely be wiped out then."

"Kapp said coldly."

"Whatever you want, Kaido might be more than happy about it. He's really looking forward to a massive war that will affect the whole world."

Kane chuckled softly: "As for me, I might as well just join your son. I acknowledge the Revolutionary Army's skill in hiding after all this time."

Being big also has its disadvantages; a large ship is difficult to turn around.

The world government may appear large, but its bureaucratic system, accumulated over many years, is already bloated and inefficient.

Despite being a traitor to the World Government for so many years, Dragon has long been recognized as the world's most heinous criminal, yet he remains alive and well.

The World Government had no way to deal with him, and the damage he caused to the Revolutionary Army was even less than that caused by Blackbeard.

At least they really did attack the Revolutionary Army headquarters.

"Give Ace to me. I also loathe this world."

Kane turned and waved goodbye.

Behind him, Garp clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly.
