One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

Secondly, it's about letting go and completely releasing that love.

When Ross brought this up, he laughed with a hint of schadenfreude, saying that Shakky and Gloria were perfect examples of these two situations.

Ian also felt like laughing at the time.

But now I think it's really amazing that Gloria Osa was able to survive this disease.

The moment you feel you've lost love may be the moment you die.

It's not easy to live to the point where you can let go of this feeling.

Just like Hancock now, she's on the verge of death.

But that's exactly what Ian wanted.

There's a term called desensitization therapy.

This time he was on the verge of death, but the next time he suffers an impact of the same level, he might only lose consciousness, and the time after that, he might just collapse.

Ian walked up to Hancock, squatted down, and looked down at the girl.

Honestly, she's stunningly beautiful.

Even Yamato paled in comparison to her.

Honestly, just based on his face, Ian couldn't possibly dislike the fact that Hancock likes him. Although they've only known each other for a few days, he can only be attracted to her and not like her. But who can predict the future?

However, Ian simply couldn't resist her ingratiating manner.

Ian said, "You are neither my servant nor my slave. Listen carefully, Hancock, you are my chosen partner, the one I have chosen to stand shoulder to shoulder with me!"

"So, you don't need to do anything to please me!"

"I would much rather you fight alongside me as a partner I can entrust everything to, than be a servant who will do anything to please me."

Ian!

Luo was shocked.

This guy has incredible willpower!

How could he say such a thing when such a beautiful woman was trying so hard to please him?

Hancock, who had just looked like she was about to die, suddenly twitched her eyelids and then opened her eyes.

"Is this good?"

Violet looked completely bewildered. Was this woman faking illness to deceive Ian?

Hancock spotted Ian crouching in front of her immediately. Tears welled in the girl's eyes. Just now, as she felt herself sinking into the deep sea, Ian's voice had illuminated the darkness like a ray of light, allowing her to feel light and warmth again.

"Lord Ian!"

The girl looked up at Ian, tears welling in her eyes but a smile playing on them, "You don't hate me? You even said you'd entrust everything to me..."

Ian was no longer surprised by Hancock's strange associations. He simply said seriously, "Hancock, you should at least understand one thing: only when you respect yourself can others respect you. If you always put yourself in a humble position, then I can only look down on you."

Ian believes that truly healthy interpersonal relationships do not come from one-sided giving.

Even the fish-men and pirates who are currently frolicking in the sea, Ian promised to pay them high wages and lead them to the pinnacle of their fish-life before they would be willing to follow him.

Hancock is a woman he values. She must become a strong woman in every way, and she must never be a weak woman, nor a sycophant, not even to his sycophant.

Rayleigh said that unwavering belief is strength.

How can a simp become a strong person?

Hancock just stared blankly at Ian.

Ian actually knew why Hancock had this mindset; it was probably because she harbored feelings of inferiority.

So he whispered, "When we get to Ghost Island, I'll treat the scars on your back so they won't leave any marks."

Hancock's pupils suddenly dilated.

he knows!

How could he know!

How could he possibly know! How could he possibly know!

He knows, what should I do?

In her utter panic, Hancock saw a hand.

Ian extended his hand to her. "So, welcome to the Beasts Pirates, Hancock. It's a belated welcome, but from now on, we're partners."

Hancock was stunned.

She stared blankly at Ian.

I felt as if a flower had suddenly bloomed somewhere in my heart.

Yes.

It's Ian.

How could this man be afraid of the world government? How could he care about his past?

Hancock suddenly didn't want to cry anymore. The girl grabbed Ian's hand as if she were grasping the future. "Mm."

"cut,"

Yamato snorted somewhat unhappily, but still honestly said, "Welcome to the team."

Of course, she didn't forget to warn, "Remember not to bother Ian again!"

Harassment?

Hancock's cheeks flushed slightly.

Did outsiders perceive your previous actions as harassment?

She just really wanted Ian's attention.

I will not do it again.

The girl's smile was bright.

but.

She glanced at Yamato.

Hmph, you white-haired bastard! Don't think this is the end of it!

When I defeat you, that's when I'll take Ian for myself!

Anyway, as Ian said, in the Beasts Pirates, the strong rule!

Don’t bully a girl into being poor!

In any case, after this minor incident, the three Hancock sisters were finally officially recognized as members of the Golden Dragon.

However, Hancock and Yamato still don't get along very well, and arguing has become a daily routine.

Amidst all this noise and commotion, they arrived at Wano Country.

Upon arriving in Wano Country, the fish-men and mermaids on the ship couldn't help but go up to the deck, curiously looking at this unfamiliar island.

Is this where they will live from now on?

The towering cliffs of Wano Country immediately shocked them; this was something they could never see on Fishman Island.

This is land!

Such towering land!

The fish-men and mermaids couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of living here.

This anticipation reached its peak as they rode the massive elevator upwards.

Because there were so many people, the elevator had to be used several times to get all the fishmen and mermaids to the mainland of Wano Country.

Then, when they walked out of the harbor and finally saw the land of Wano Country, many fish-men or mermaids burst into tears, and some even knelt down to kiss the land.

This is the land their ancestors longed for.

Now, they have finally fulfilled the long-cherished wish of their ancestors.

"Ian."

There was a person standing outside the harbor.

"Hey, Uncle Jin!"

Ian greeted him with a smile, "Have their accommodations been arranged yet?"

This uncle is here to pick up the fishermen.

"There are many submerged ruins on the seabed near Ghost Island, some of which are still usable,"

Uncle Jin said, "But they might need to do some repairs themselves."

Ian nodded slightly. "Of course, that's no problem."

Even if it's well preserved, it's still an 800-year-old building.

Moreover, being located underwater, the Beasts Pirates were unable to carry out construction.

Therefore, in this regard, the fish people can only rely on their own efforts.

They probably wouldn't mind.

Jin turned his head, looked around at the merfolk who had come with their families, their faces still showing some unease, and couldn't help but say,

"Ian, well done."

These guys from Fishman Island can be of great help to the Beasts Pirates.

"This is just the beginning,"

Ian said, "If they live well in Wano Country, they can attract more fishmen to Wano Country. In that case, Wano Country might become the second Fishman Island in just a few years."

It might even directly replace the original Fishman Island and become the home of fishmen and mermaids.

"So, Uncle Jin, you know what to do, right?"

Jin nodded slightly. "Mr. Kaido put me in charge of this matter personally. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on them will die."
