One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

Chapter 16: Not a mythical beast, but a god!

2024-06-04

The top floor of the castle tower was pitch black, with no lights on, except for a faint moonlight shining through the hole that Ian had broken through.

So, where is it?

Flames wrapped around the ring behind Ian's head, instantly illuminating the dark room.

The spacious room was simply decorated, with hardly any furniture.

It's clear that the Kozuki family has had a rather unsatisfactory year in recent years. Despite being a daimyo who rules over a region, they are quite poor.

"You madman! Halt!"

Just then, shouts and curses suddenly came from behind.

Ian turned around.

Under the moonlight filtering through the hole, two samurai walked in, swords in hand.

It seems to be one of the samurai under Shimotsuki Yasuie's command.

Ok?

Ian frowned slightly.

Their blades were pitch black.

Can you use domineering aura?

Shimotsuki Yasuie himself doesn't know how to use it, but his subordinates do?

That violates the basic rules of the One Piece world.

As everyone knows, in the world of One Piece, no matter what unit you're in, the boss is the strongest.

Does Shimotsuki Yasuie think he's some kind of god like Buggy? How dare he defy the Heavenly Gang like this?

As Ian's thoughts wandered, the two warriors charged forward like the wind.

They coordinated very well, splitting into two groups and attacking Ian simultaneously from both sides.

then.

Ian simply turned to the side, and the blades of the two samurai slashed across his chest and back with perfect precision.

The two warriors were slightly taken aback. How could a child be so agile?

They didn't have time to think too much. If one cut wasn't enough, then five, ten, a hundred cuts!

But in that instant, the two knives unleashed two gusts of wind, trapping Ian between them like a petrel in a storm, about to be torn apart in an instant.

However, this moment, which seemed to arrive in an instant, never came.

Petrels flutter amidst the storm.

Ian danced amidst the sword's edge, casually stepping back and twisting his body, bending over and turning around to perfectly avoid every slash from the two warriors.

how is this possible! !

The two samurai's faces were flushed red, indistinguishable from pig livers.

Ian is getting a little cocky.

There's nothing I can do about someone who's so outstanding.

What kind of monsters do you think I've been fighting all these years?

Compared to Teacher Kai's speed, which is almost like teleportation, these two guys are as slow as turtles crawling.

However, there's really no need to hide.

Dang Dang!

The two crisp sounds rang out almost in sync.

"what?"

Both warriors changed color simultaneously, showing no excitement at finally hitting their opponent.

Ian raised his hand and casually grasped their heavy blades.

With such domineering aura and this level of strength, how could he possibly hurt himself?

I've been playing with Teacher Kai too much. Without entering ball form, I want to dodge every attack I see.

He glanced at the two pale-faced warriors.

He's much weaker than that guy, Qibing Goro.

No way, they dare to chase after us?

They really have no self-awareness.

boom! !

The next instant, a brilliant golden pillar of fire shot into the sky from the top of the castle tower, blooming like a volcanic eruption under the night sky.

Below, in the courtyard.

"..."

Despite his severe burns, Shimotsuki Yasuie gritted his teeth as he watched the flames burst forth.

"Haha! Ian will never lose!"

Across from him, Yamato grinned and said, "Me too!"

The girl continued her attack.

"Oh no, this is troublesome."

Ian scratched the back of his head, feeling a little regretful.

Although the two warriors had been blasted to who-knows-where by the towering flames, the entire floor had been set ablaze, and the flames were spreading everywhere.

We need to find them quickly.

However, he didn't know where Kozuki Oden's two children were, so he walked in along the corridor on one side.

"Mother,"

Just then, a paper door next to them was pulled open, and a little kid with a chonmage hairstyle walked out of the room, rubbing his eyes. He looked a bit listless, probably because he hadn't woken up properly yet. "It's so hot! What happened?"

He stared blankly around, trying to find his beloved mother.

However, what he saw was flames spreading everywhere, and within the flames, a golden-armored winged man wreathed in flames.

The boy's eyes widened immediately. "Am I dreaming?"

Oh?

Ian raised an eyebrow, Kozuki Momonosuke.

It really takes no effort at all.

He strode toward the little boy who was the same age as him.

Momonosuke watched Ian approach and instinctively pinched his cheek. The sharp pain instantly snapped him back to reality. "It's not a dream!!"

He is already eight years old. Even though he has always been well protected by his parents, he still understands some things and knows that they are facing the threat of an enemy!

Fear immediately flashed across Momonosuke's face, and he instinctively tried to run away.

Then his room was right behind him, and there was nowhere to run. But he didn't care about that now.

However, his speed was too slow compared to Ian's. With a casual step forward, Ian grabbed the kid by the collar and pulled him up.

Without using his abilities, Ian is only slightly taller than Momonosuke.

However, in his beastman form, Ian was taller than two Momonosukes and about the same height as an adult, so grabbing the kid was effortless.

"Kozuki Momonosuke?"

Ian felt he was being a bit presumptuous, but confirming it one last time shouldn't be a problem.

"It's so hot! It hurts so much!! Help me!! Father! Mother! Help me! I've been captured!"

It can be said that he was extremely cowardly. When Kozuki Momonosuke was captured by Ian, he was already crying out in fear. The high temperature on Ian's body surface made him scream in pain.

Looks like I didn't mistake the person.

Ian nodded slightly, thinking that Kozuki Oden probably had no interest in creating a shadow warrior for his son.

"Momonosuke!!"

A scream, which could be described as a scream, came from behind. Ian turned around and saw the gentle, green-haired lady just as she opened the paper door and rushed into the cubicle.

"Mother!"

Upon hearing his mother's voice, Momonosuke, terrified and weeping uncontrollably, turned his head desperately like a drowning man clutching at a straw, crying out, "Help me!"

The woman, Kozuki, bit her lip.

She tried her best to catch up, but she was still a little slow.

Momonosuke has been captured!

"Mother? Elder brother?"

At this moment, an even worse situation occurred. A soft voice sounded beside her, and a small girl pulled open the paper door next to her. The second daughter of the Kozuki family, Kozuki Hiyori, was also woken up. She hugged her small pillow, rubbed her eyes, yawned, and walked out of the door, looking at the situation in front of her with a puzzled expression.

"Hiyori!!"

Almost instinctively, Kozuki Toki grabbed his youngest daughter and held her in his arms.

The little girl, completely unaware of her surroundings, was nestled in her mother's arms, and comfortably closed her eyes.

"It's so warm in my mother's arms."

Kozuki almost bit her lip until it bled.

Everyone's here, right?

Ian stepped forward. "I'm sorry, but Mr. Kay said he wants to see you."
