One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

"..."

Drake looked at Luo blankly.

"Platinum-lead ore, ever heard of it?"

Platinum and lead?

Drake had heard about it.

It is said to be a very precious mineral.

"You should have heard of my homeland, the white town of Frivans,"

Luo clenched his fist. "That place is rich in platinum and lead, and the government has been involved in the trade for over a century, driven by greed for the profits from platinum and lead."

"But they never told us that platinum and lead are highly toxic, and that the toxins accumulate over time! Until a year ago, the toxins broke out, plunging the entire country into utter destruction!"

"But what is the World Government doing? They are turning a blind eye to the fact that they are making a fortune from the platinum and lead trade! They are allowing our country to be mistaken by our neighbors for a large-scale infectious disease outbreak and to be directly invaded and destroyed!"

Drake staggered backward, looking into Law's eyes, those lifeless eyes filling him with dread.

"I have two years left to live! I will take revenge on this world! I will destroy everything I see!!"

Drake suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Was it the World Government, not pirates, that turned him into this?

Or is it the navy that protects the government?

outside.

"Justice? The Navy, which serves as the Celestial Dragons' lackeys and sends out admirals whenever a Celestial Dragon is harmed, is it worthy of talking about justice?"

Ian shook his head. "Ultimately, who are all these pirates on the seas for? Half the world's countries aren't protected by the Navy because they can't afford the Celestial Gold that's meant to entertain the Celestial Dragons. And then,"

Ian stretched out his hand and pointed at the navy below, "You just ignored them, you just pretended that the justice you keep talking about doesn't exist."

"Really,"

Ian shook his head. "He's not even as good as Whitebeard. At least Whitebeard wouldn't charge exorbitant protection fees for the islands under the Whitebeard Pirates' control, and he was genuinely willing to help when trouble arose."

Ian consciously refrained from comparing himself to the Beasts Pirates.

"Fufufufu! Isn't this simple?"

Doflamingo added insult to injury, saying, "Justice also has its stance! Only those who are willing to serve the Celestial Dragons are recognized as human beings!"

In the reception room.

Drake was slumped on the ground, his eyes lifeless.

Is this what justice is?

He was expecting a rebuttal from the navy.

but.

He suddenly thought of even his father.

Did my father fall into depravity only after realizing this reality?

"Celestial Dragons are Celestial Dragons! Marines are Marines!"

Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Luo and Baby-5 both looked at the man who spoke with blank expressions.

Rosinandi stood up, looked at Drake, and said seriously, "At least, the Navy's justice in upholding order is not a sham."

"You can talk!!"

Luo and Baby-5 couldn't help but scream.

Drake stared at him blankly.

"At least,"

There was a hint of bitterness in Rosinandi's voice as he said, "For eight hundred years, we have protected the world."

He added, "Half the world."

"you?"

Luo was taken aback.

Drake paused for a moment. "So, what they're saying is true?"

"..."

Rosinandi remained silent.

He took a deep breath and said, "Now is your chance. Come with me, Drake. I'll take you to the Navy."

"..."

Drake kept his head down.

then.

"I'll send you a mud horse!!"

The seemingly teenager suddenly sprang to his feet, slamming the unsuspecting Rosinandi to the ground. "What kind of bullshit justice is this! Just die, all of you!!"

This kind of justice, this kind of navy—go to hell!

Drake turned to look at Law and Baby-5, "What are you two standing there for? This guy is a traitor!"

On the snail's head, Ian and Doflamingo's expressions became somewhat strange. They exchanged a glance, realizing they hadn't expected this turn of events.

This live stream appears to have been very effective.

"rest assured,"

Doflamingo said calmly, "I left Señor behind."

So, finally.

Ian looked at the navy men.

What should we do with them?

Chapter 88 God is Unaffected! Equalists

To be honest, Ian is also a bit unsure what to do with these navy personnel.

Leaving aside Vice Admiral Tsuru, Momousagi and Gion's strength is by no means weak.

Fifteen years later, Momousagi, the candidate for Admiral, would at least possess power on par with or even stronger than that of Marco Jin.

So fifteen years ago, her strength couldn't have been much weaker than Uncle Jin and the others; she was undoubtedly at the disaster level.

With the addition of Vice Admiral Tsuru, who is likely even stronger than the Disaster, the Navy's combat strength is honestly somewhat delicate.

You said you need to be able to fight, but the other side seems very strong.

But to say you can't fight it, it seems like you could actually try to touch it.

Another question is, what should you do after you win?

Ian wasn't alone; he had the Beasts Pirates behind him, so he also considered the group's interests.

This old woman's prestige within the Navy is probably not much less than that of Garp and Sengoku; she guides the Navy forward with her wisdom.

If Vice Admiral Tsuru were to be eliminated, how would the Navy react?

It's likely that Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr, who have been comrades-in-arms for decades, will be parachuted into Wano Country soon.

What should we do then?

Even if the Beasts Pirates can escape, what about Wano Country?

Why would they abandon their years of hard-earned wealth, and even the Pluton buried in Wano Country?

So Ian felt that fighting was okay, but only a little bit.

Pirate tradition: stop when you've reached your limit.

"Gaji,"

Ian said, "Turn around and get ready to leave."

"Eh?"

Judge paused for a moment, "Not fighting?"

"Leave the battle to us."

Ian said, "We'll stop them. You can leave now, we'll catch up soon."

Doflamingo instantly understood what Ian meant. "Furfurfur, then so be it."

"Understood!"

Judge knew he shouldn't hesitate now, so he nodded slightly and quickly returned.

Ian looked at the navy again.

Let's save face for both sides.

He didn't believe the Navy would dare to attack him and Doflamingo so easily.

In the original work, Doflamingo bossed the government around and enjoyed threatening them. Now, the Navy dares to just kill Doflamingo?

"That's enough of the nonsense."

Ian spoke with a smile.

Having achieved his goal, Ian was too lazy to waste his breath arguing with these self-brainwashed guys.

Let them think they're upholding justice.

As I said before, respect is key.
