One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

It was clearly her father who saved her.

"sinner?"

Drake snorted coldly.

He has completely turned to the dark side.

There is absolutely no trust left in the Navy and their sense of justice.

"You woke up at just the right time."

Ian picked up the kebab in his hand.

They're already roasted and smell delicious.

What? My cooking skills are pretty good too.

Ian handed the skewer of meat to Yamato, who was drooling over it.

Wiping his hands, Ian looked at Gion and said, "I'm about to contact the World Government to discuss what we can exchange you for."

"exchange?"

Gion was taken aback. "You want to use me to exchange with the government?"

"So you should thank me too."

Ian slowly pulled out a Den Den Mushi (snap sticky rice dumpling), "I'll let you off this time."

The first time was yesterday when I was about to leave, but Gion caught up with me on her own.

Gion felt no gratitude whatsoever; her only emotion at that moment was shame.

Should the government have to pay an even higher price for her sake?

"and many more!"

Gion suddenly realized something, "You mean the government?"

How did this guy get in touch with the World Government?

She watched Ian skillfully make the call, somewhat bewildered.

“Brubrubrubru”.

The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) started ringing.

"Quiet down, everyone."

Ian said.

The call was connected very quickly.

"Your Majesty Ian?"

A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"So, old friend, what are they saying over there?"

Ian said, "What price are you willing to pay to bring Major General Gion back?"

"You're incredibly audacious to kidnap a rear admiral from the Navy Headquarters, and now you even want to use her to make a deal with the government?"

government?

Gion's eyes widened.

Is this guy an old acquaintance of the government?

"Don't say that, Goat,"

Ian said leisurely, "You can't blame me for this. I was already preparing to leave, but that Major General Gion insisted on chasing after me. What could I do?"

"How could this have happened if you hadn't gone to find Doflamingo?"

The goat on the other end of the phone was the CP0 underling who went to Wano Country to discuss the Seastone trade with Ian back then. He had been the one handling business with Ian all these years, and the two were old acquaintances.

"Enough with the nonsense, Goat,"

Ian smiled at Gion, "Just tell me directly what you're willing to give up for Major General Gion. We've been doing business with your World Government for so many years, there's no need for us to test each other."

Gion could hardly believe what she was hearing.

Doing business with the government?

Drake sneered repeatedly.

This is the World Government, the World Government to which the Navy is loyal!

There was a moment of silence on the other end. "What do you want?"

See, Admiral Gion, at least the World Government still values ​​you.

Ian smiled at Gion again and said, "Then let me state my requirements. First, Judge is a good person and hasn't done anything to wrong the World Government, so let's not hold him responsible."

Ian!

Judge, who was standing to the side, was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

Brothers!

This is a true brother!

"Hmph, it seems you've reached a deal. That's not a problem. Is that all?"

"Of course not possible."

Ian said.

Frankly, this request is meaningless.

Even if the government retains Germa Kingdom's status as a member state, it's just for show. Given the opportunity, the government will not let Judge go.

"What else do you want?"

"The goat asked."

Yes, are there any other requirements?

The government won't give out things that are too important or too precious.

I have no interest in things that are not important.

Ian thought for a long time and finally came up with something that might be somewhat useful.

Perhaps it will be quite useful.

"Give me ten large warships."

Ian made an outrageous demand.

"Are you kidding me? Ten warships?"

Unsurprisingly, a refusal came immediately from the other end: "Who do you think you've captured? A future general?"

What does ten large warships mean?

This is the configuration for the Buster Call.

In terms of firepower alone, ten large naval warships would be enough to easily flatten a small island in a short period of time.

The only ships in the entire Beasts Pirates that can rival large warships in size are Ian's Golden Dragon, plus the ships of Guy, King, and Queen.

"Three ships!"

The goat said, "We can accept this amount."

“Three ships? Eight ships,” Ian countered.

"Impossible, Ian, you're not being sincere at all!"

"Sincerity? All I know is that this woman is a rising star in the Navy, she might even become a future admiral!"

"...four ships."

"Seven ships! That's my bottom line."

Five!

The goat gritted its teeth, "This is our bottom line! If you're still not satisfied, then this deal is over."

"Tsk, how stingy."

Ian snorted, "Fine, it seems we're all old friends, five it is."

"call--"

The person on the other end breathed a sigh of relief. "When will the deal be made?"

"Don't rush,"

Ian smiled. "You cut the price in half for me right away, so at least allow me to make one additional request."

"Ian! Don't push your luck!" the goat's voice suddenly rose.

"Don't worry, it's nothing special, in fact, it's worthless."

Ian's tone turned serious, even angry, "Back then, when Mr. Guy was captured by the government, you extracted his bloodline factor, and then Vegapunk used it as a basis to create a Devil Fruit, right? You guys are incredibly audacious!"

"what?"

The goat on the other end of the phone was completely stunned.

He had never even heard of such a thing.

"But the research on that fruit failed, so Vegapunk sealed it away. It's useless to you, so give it to me. The existence of that fruit is an insult to the Beasts Pirates, an insult to my most respected teacher!"

"Wait, I need to check first."

The goat hurriedly hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Mary Geoise, the goat looked completely bewildered.

Vegapunk?

How did Ian know what Vegapunk did?

Vegapunk's research is classified, even within the government!
