Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 62 Drought Jack
"Big news! This is big news!"

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds before being broken by Morgans’s shouting.

The bird-like man, wearing a black top hat and resembling a duck, jumped around like a fanatical fan who had just met his idol, muttering to himself.

"Ian the Flame Tiger, the nemesis of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who fought a fierce battle with Kaido of the Beasts and escaped unscathed, is a top-tier fighter on the high seas who is neither a pirate nor a Marine. I finally have the chance to meet him!"

"You actually came to Kaido and Charlotte Linlin's alliance banquet? Are you planning to cause a ruckus? Do you want to challenge Kaido again?!"

"Don't talk nonsense, or even if you're a reporter, I'll sue you for defamation." Guan Yi said, "I haven't properly thanked you for helping me make a name for myself last time by saying I beat Kaido until he vomited blood."

A tightness in his chest enveloped Morgans, and his excitement instantly faded by more than half. A few feathers stood on end, and he shrank behind Stusi, saying awkwardly, "You know, the press is free, cough cough, sometimes it's not so free."

Coming to his senses from his surprise, Stussy's refined face broke into a playful smile.

As an undercover agent within CP0, the World Government's mission to assassinate Nico Robin had been a long-standing headache for her. The arrival of Flame Tiger Ian was a great boon; the more chaotic the Whole Cake Island, the more opportunities she had to fish in troubled waters!

On the other hand, Cracker found it rather tricky.

Logically speaking, someone as renowned as Ian the Tiger should definitely be qualified to receive an invitation to the Big Mom Pirates' banquet, but after all, he had a conflict with Kaido of the Beasts...

Tch, Mom mentioned him before, and seemed to admire him quite a bit. Since he's not afraid of death, let Mom and Kaido decide what to do with him.

"Ian the Flame Tiger, no one who dares to cause trouble in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Kingdoms leaves alive. If you are simply here to attend the banquet, we naturally welcome you."

He gave a warning, saying to Morgans and Stussy, "You two have been waiting. If you mind him riding on your boat, I will arrange another boat to take him to Whole Cake Island."

"I don't mind! How could I mind?!"

Morgans felt that the biggest news from this gathering of the Four Emperors would be Guan Yi.

As a result, the ship was finally allowed to proceed after a short delay, heading towards Cake Island.

……

“Ian the Tiger? Mama Mama…” On Whole Cake Island, upon receiving her son’s message, the old woman burst into laughter: “What a bold young man.”

At this moment, she was dressed up like a little princess weighing tens of tons, looking forward to the banquet two days in advance.

In her large hand, she gently embraced a blond young man who was only the size of her hand. The young man's eyes were slightly vacant, but they showed a slight ripple when she mentioned the name Yanhu Ian.

“All those who have come are guests.” She said to her son Daifuku, who had come to report, “Go and inform Kaido, and warn him not to mess up my Whole Cake Island. As for their grudges, we’ll settle them after the banquet!”

"I understand, Mom."

Daifuku accepted the order and left, but returned quickly a short while later: "Mother, Kaido is still hungover and hasn't woken up yet. But upon hearing the news of Ian the Fire Tiger's arrival, Jack the Drought of the Beasts Pirates has made a move, and it seems his intentions are not good!"

The old woman's face darkened slightly: "That idiot Kaido! The banquet is about to begin, and he's drunk more than he's sober. The Beast Pirates are all brainless idiots! Go find Katakuri, don't let them cause trouble on my Whole Cake Island!"

……

"Ian the Tiger!" Jack the Drought, one of the three calamities of the Beasts Pirates, murmured this name as he headed menacingly toward the northwest coast.

He was over eight meters tall, extremely strong, with blond hair tied in a ponytail and two braids, and adorned with two ivory-shaped ornaments on his head and shoulders.

As a merman, apart from his serrated teeth, he doesn't have much of a merman appearance; he looks more like a middle-aged, strong human.

But in fact, he is not a middle-aged strong man, he just looks mature. Jack is only 24 years old this year! He has only been the top member of the Beasts Pirates and the Drought for a few years, and his predecessor Hanafza is actually his master.

From a very young age, he was raised by Hanafza to be the successor to the Drought. Hanafza was like a father to him! Ever since he learned that Hanafza had been defeated by Kane and imprisoned in Impel Down, he had been looking for trouble with Kane. When the news of the Yonko's bloody death was released, his heart was filled with even more rage, as he idolized Kaido!
I must kill this bastard!
Biscuit Island is not far from Cake Island. When he arrived at the northwest coast, Morgans' ship appeared at the horizon and sped towards him.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Morgans, who was trying to subtly inquire about Jack's intentions, soon noticed the giant and became excited.

"Oh! Is that Jack the Drought from the Beasts Pirates? He seems to be after you, Ian."

Fighting! Fighting! Big news!
Guan Yi had already seen Jack.

It wasn't Kaido who came to pick me up personally. Is he not on Whole Cake Island, or is he drunk?

"Thank you both for giving me a ride. Someone is coming to pick me up, so I'll be going now."

He sprang to his feet, his body leaping forward, twisting and turning in the air, instantly crossing two miles of sea and landing on the shore of Cake Island, in front of Jack.

Morgans had already excitedly picked up his binoculars, while Stusi, with his hand on the bow of the boat, bent over and gazed at the coastline with great interest.

'Ian's Moonwalk technique is several times more proficient than mine. If I weren't a member of CP0 myself, I'd suspect he was one.'

On the shore, Jack made no unnecessary movements. The instant Guan Yi stepped ashore, he pulled out two strange weapons from two ivory ornaments, each with a straight blade at the bottom and a sickle at the top.

There's no need for verbal negotiation; I'm going to just chop this bastard into five pieces!

"Stop! Jack!"

At this moment, Daifuku arrived quickly from behind with Katakuri, shouting urgently.

Jack didn't even look at him. He just gripped his two knives tightly, stared at Guan Yi, and then, like a galloping elephant, strode towards Guan Yi.

"Katakuri!" Upon seeing this, Daifuku immediately looked at Katakuri, hoping that Katakuri would stop him.

Katakuri, however, had a solemn expression, with a bead of sweat even appearing on his forehead. He made no move, simply staring at Guan Yi.

He was a master of the highest level of Observation Haki, having cultivated it to the point where he could briefly foresee the future! And in his foresight, this conflict didn't require his intervention, nor would he have time to stop it, because…

Bang——! !

An extremely dull sound suddenly erupted, Jack's scythe missed its mark, and Guan Yi, who had lightly leaped up, punched Jack in the stomach!
This was no ordinary punch.

Armament Haki flowed towards his fist.

Guan Yi's flames also condensed at the edge of his fist!
The instant the fist struck flesh, flames erupted, instantly turning Jack into a human torch. The excruciating pain made his eyes bulge, but he couldn't scream, for all the air in his body had already been stolen away by Guan Yi's punch!
The vomited blood was evaporated by the intense heat.

This burly man, who was eight meters tall and extremely resilient, felt an unprecedentedly strong blow. His knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes rolled back, and he fell unconscious!

Drought Jack, defeated in one fell swoop!
A look of shock appeared on Dafu's face.

Katakuri thought to himself, "Just as I thought. His reputation is well-deserved." Although Jack the Drought hadn't had time to transform into a mammoth, even if he had, it would only have meant he could withstand a few more punches. The sheer power of the Flame Tiger's intent put immense pressure on even Katakuri, the second strongest member of the Big Mom Pirates!

On the boat behind, Morgans's binoculars fell into the water with a splash, but he was not discouraged.

"Breaking news!"

Stussy's lips twitched slightly. Wasn't the news that he beat Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, to the point of vomiting blood an exaggeration? Why does this description seem more cautious than it is!
