One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

"Great!"

The adorable little people cheered, "The adults are truly heroes!"

"A hero! A hero like Rolando!"

Rolando, the Liar, was a great hero who once taught the Lilliputians farming techniques.

"hero!!"

A large group of short people surrounded Ian, cheering continuously.

Ah, a wave of guilt washed over me.

"Ian."

Ian said, "My name is Ian. You don't need to call me hero, just call me Ian."

"Ian Lando!!"

That's what the shorter guys call Ian.

They considered Ian to be the second Rolando.

Ian breathed a sigh of relief. So, who should pick up the little people?

It seems there's only one choice.

Chapter 100 Violet! Teacher Kai, the Porter

2024-06-27

A few days later, on the shore of Greenbite.

The Golden Dragon is quietly docked here.

The little Dontata people sat quietly on the gunwale of the large ship, each holding an apple that was ridiculously large for them, their eyes fixed on Ian on the shore below, who was constantly throwing and pulling back his punches.

Ian's skin was now completely red, with wisps of steam rising from his body, giving him an eerie, ethereal quality, much like the Straw Hat Puppet Master in Gear Second.

But his breathing was very steady, and each punch was the same as the last, with no difference in the posture, force, or timing. He was as stable as a robot.

This punching had been going on for almost an hour, with Ian standing there continuously throwing punches.

This is the King's Fist, which he learned from King Elizabeth II.

To be honest, this move isn't that difficult.

The essence of the King's Fist is to accumulate power.

This accumulated power is not muscle strength, but a very special kind of bodily energy, which is basically a personification of physical strength.

If you already have willpower, then adding some physical energy isn't incomprehensible, as long as the two don't merge into chakra, there's no problem.

Of course, this is not a move that just anyone can use. Only someone like Elizabello, who is born with a strong body, can use it. If an ordinary person were to use it, they wouldn't even have time to store up enough energy and would probably just drain their body dry.

Of course, Ian meets this criterion.

In the past few days, Ian has easily learned this move through Elizabello's instruction.

Now is the time for experimentation.

A surge of immense energy coursed through his body, so powerful that it could no longer be contained. At this moment, the energy transformed into steam and seeped out from his pores.

Luo stood on the ship's railing, watching quietly, but in his heart he wondered, was this ridiculous move really for real?

A move that requires an hour of warm-up before it can be used?

This is completely useless in battle.

Regardless, the energy charge was complete, and Ian was ready to throw a punch.

He took a deep breath, tucked his right fist to his ear, spread his feet apart in a lunge stance, turned his body to the right, and tensed all his muscles like a bowstring.

Fist!

Luo's eyes widened instantly.

The air in front of Ian seemed to freeze instantly, and a visible mist of water vapor spread out, with a hole punched in the center of the mist!

The air itself was distorted; no, it looked as if space itself had been warped by that punch.

A streak of white silk!

A streak of light, almost like a laser beam, roared out and swept across the sea in an instant, disappearing into the horizon.

This ribbon of water tore through the sea, leaving a mark on the surface that has lingered for a long time.

I retract my previous statement!

Luo's pupils trembled.

That's way too much!

Such a powerful move is absolutely worth the hour of energy storage!

After a brief silence.

"Amazing!"

"Ian Lando!"

The short people watching from the ship's side immediately cheered.

They were all even more excited than Ian himself.

Ian let out a slow sigh of relief; sweat was already beading on his forehead.

A large amount of physical energy was released in one breath, so it's impossible not to feel tired.

However, the power of this attack was indeed considerable.

It was already much stronger than the strongest punch he could throw in Orc mode.

It's unimaginable what kind of power the King's Fist would have if unleashed after using his ability; it might even knock Kai completely out of his wits with a single punch.

The only drawback is that the charging time is too long, an hour, which basically only allows you to prepare before the battle and then deliver a powerful blow to the enemy.

In an encounter battle, it would be completely useless.

As for Ian's previous idea of ​​using the ball-shaped defense to both withstand blows and warm up, it basically failed after he actually understood the move.

Warming up isn't really about building up energy; it's about releasing the body's latent energy and then locking it inside.

If the warm-up is interrupted, the body's energy will either dissipate or return to the body, and all the previous preparations will be wasted.

Even if the ball form is incredibly resilient, it can't guarantee that its movements won't be interrupted.

Unless, of course, there is a way to forcibly retain the body's energy, so that even if the warm-up is interrupted, the energy buildup will not be interrupted.

Ian was thinking, something like returning a life?

But that would mean the energy accumulation would be very slow.

I'm always being interrupted. Even if the energy doesn't dissipate, it would take forever to fully store it.

Ultimately, it's not very practical.

Let's think about how else we can modify it later.

There is another thing to do now.

"Ian!"

The white-haired girl jumped off the Golden Dragon, excitedly asking, "Can we go play now?"

They've been anchored at Greenbite's shore for several days now, and Yamato has long been getting impatient.

Now that Ian's training has been declared successful, it means he can finally go have some fun.

Seeing the girl's wet, expectant eyes, Ian nodded. "Let's go then, let's go to Dressrosa for some fun."

"Great!"

After all, Dressrosa is a well-known tourist destination. If you come here, it would be a shame not to visit it.

Later.

In the flower fields outside Dressrosa, Ian and his companion strolled among the flowers.

Ian wore a black pullover hoodie, loose dark blue casual pants, a baseball cap, and brown sunglasses, looking relaxed and casual, which also helped to conceal his identity.

If we don't do some disguise, it'll probably be chaos as soon as we enter Dressrosa, then what's the point of sightseeing?

Compared to him, Yamato, who hasn't been wanted yet, doesn't have this problem.

The girl was also wearing a brown baseball cap, an oversized red and white baseball jacket over a white T-shirt, and light blue slim-fit jeans. She was just as youthful and energetic.

There were only the two of them; none of the three, including Jack, were interested in playing. Jack and Law were more interested in cultivating, especially Law. After the life-threatening crisis was over, he not only did not slack off, but became even more diligent.

Because he has a future!

Black Maria prefers playing with the little people to shopping. She loves these cute little creatures and has now earned the title of Maria Lando among the Tontatta tribe.

Ian was once curious why it wasn't Rando.

"so beautiful!"

Even someone as boorish as Yamato couldn't help but be awestruck by the beauty of this magnificent flower field.

The sunflowers covering the hillsides dyed everything in front of them golden, making the two of them feel as if they were in a golden ocean.

Brilliant and magnificent, dreamlike and enchanting, it captivates the soul.

"If you like, you can cultivate a few flower fields in Wano Country as well."

Ian spoke calmly.

What's wrong with cultivating a few flower fields?

Do you even understand the prestige of being the King of Wano Country?

"No."

Yamato shook his head and said with a grin, "Seeing is enough! There's no need to own it."

Ian was taken aback.
