One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

Ian looked at the Den Den Mushi, which had already closed its eyes, and sighed with some melancholy. "Drake, I think I've been tricked."

Drake said in a deep voice, "Then leave it to me, Lord Ian. It's perfect timing; I also want to repay the kindness I've shown you over the years."

Ian nodded slightly, then shouted, "Then turn around! Replenish supplies and ammunition at the nearest base, then head full speed to the North Sea!"

At the same moment, on an island in Beihai.

Barrerus still looked shaken after hanging up the phone.

Looking at the Den Den Mushi in his hand was like looking at some kind of monster.

"captain!"

The pirates around him were even more stunned, exclaiming, "That's Ian of the Burning Heaven!"

That's the Beasts Pirates! The pirate crew led by Kaido, one of the Emperors of the New World!

How dare you deceive them!

"I don't care who he is!"

Barrerus was breathing heavily, his face flushed strangely, perhaps from drunkenness. He carefully took the heart-shaped fruit from the box beside him and caressed it with almost obsessive affection.

"This is my treasure! It's worth 5 billion Berries! With this money, why would we need to be pirates anymore? We can retire from the pirate world, find an island to live in seclusion, and do you think that brat Ian can find us?"

The surrounding pirates thought it made sense.

Would the Beasts Pirates really give them that much money?

Compared to this huge sum of money, what is the Beasts Pirates' fear?

If merchants are willing to take risks for huge profits, then pirates, who are already risking their lives, are even more likely to do so!

Chapter 121 The Golden Dragon! The Island of Minion, a Fateful End

2024-06-14

The Golden Dragon changed course and headed towards the North Sea at top speed.

at the same time.

Naval Headquarters.

Marshal Kong is attending a meeting, a meeting that happens to be related to the Beasts Pirates.

"Ian of the Burning Sky has already crushed Wang Zhi's Third Fleet, completely driving the Wang Zhi Pirates out of that sea area!"

The meeting was chaired by a green-haired navy officer with the rank of lieutenant of headquarters on his shoulder. It was hard to imagine how such a minor figure like him managed to get into a meeting that even a marshal personally attended.

"But this war probably won't end like this! Breaking news!"

The lieutenant shouted, "Wang Zhi is furious on Beehive Island and has vowed to retaliate. Even if it's not a full-scale war between the Wang Zhi Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, this battle for supremacy will likely continue."

"Wang Zhi might take direct action, at which point this battle for hegemony in the new world will reach its climax!"

The lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "But Wang Zhi's chances of winning are very low. Besides Kaido, the most crucial thing is Ian of the Burning Heaven and the Golden Dragon!"

"Let's take a look back at just how many troublesome guys have appeared on that ship called the Golden Dragon in less than three years!"

"First of all!"

He slammed a wanted poster onto the blackboard behind him: "Drake the Bomber!"

It was a photo of Drake piloting a bomber, taken at some unknown time.

"His bounty is 120 million Berries! His personal strength is unknown, but he is the leader of the Beast Pirates' flying unit, and he has always stayed on the Golden Dragon to serve Ian!"

"And then, Black Widow, Black Maria!"

The second wanted poster was for Black Maria, who had transformed into a beastman with the upper half human and the lower half spider, wielding her enormous, blazing, bizarre weapon with abandon.

"A bounty of 315 million Berries! An Ancient Zoan user! His strength is formidable!"

The third wanted poster is for Jack. He stands atop a sea monster, his eyes indifferent, his aura imposing.

"Jack the Mammoth! Ian's right-hand man, leader of the Fishman Squad of the Beast Pirates, and like Drake, he's always been on the Golden Dragon! He's incredibly strong, with a bounty of 472.3 million Berries!"

At this point, the lieutenant paused for a moment to catch his breath, then raised his voice even higher, "And then come the real monsters!"

"Snapped!"

Another arrest warrant has been photographed.

The wanted poster featured an incredibly beautiful black-haired girl, her chin slightly raised, as if looking down at something.

"Witch Hancock! Her abilities are unknown, but all her enemies turned to stone! She is suspected to be a user of the legendary Medusa Fruit! In the two years of war, no one has been able to stop her! Her initial bounty was 400 million Berries, and it has now increased to 700 million! A true monster!"

In the huge conference room, the naval personnel present had already begun to whisper among themselves.

"Then comes the number two person on the Golden Dragon!"

It's another wanted poster. The white-haired girl with a bright smile is vividly depicted on the paper. If you didn't know she was a terrifying pirate, you might mistake her for a cute girl next door.

"Yamato of the Frozen Sea! Ian's childhood friend, Kaido's daughter! She inherited his powerful demon bloodline! A Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user! She froze an entire sea area that served as the battlefield during a war a year ago! Her strength is unbelievable! Bounty: 780 million Berries!"

The lieutenant paused again, then pulled out the last wanted poster.

Immediately, all the attendees in the conference room sat up straight.

"Finally, the owner of the Golden Dragon, the undisputed number two of the Beasts Pirates, the King of Wano Country, the actual manager of the seas under the Beasts Pirates' control, and the crown prince of Emperor Kaido!"

The lieutenant slammed the final wanted poster onto the blackboard with tremendous force, the loud noise echoing throughout the spacious conference room. "Ian of the Sky!"

On the wanted poster, the handsome young man smiled nonchalantly.

"He distinguished himself in the Battle of Beehive Island nearly three years ago, and shone brightly in the subsequent fierce battle against the Whitebeard Pirates. He defeated Vice Admiral Gion in the North Blue and made Vice Admiral Sakazuki retreat empty-handed on Amazon Lily. His initial bounty was 800 million Berries! A monster among monsters! In the past two years, he has been conquering the New World, and no one, whether it's the monsters of the Charlotte Family or the high-ranking officers of the Whitebeard Pirates, can stop him! Now his bounty is—"

"1.2 billion Berries! That's the highest amount in the world besides Whitebeard, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and Wang Zhi! And he's only fifteen years old this year!"

The naval officers fell silent.

No matter how many times I've seen it, I still think, isn't Ian a bit too exaggerated?

This level of bounty is truly for a genuine crown prince.

The lieutenant took another breath, calming his overly excited emotions. "It's no exaggeration to say that, if we don't count Kaido, the Golden Dragon already accounts for more than half of the entire Beasts Pirates' strength! We even believe that even if Kaido doesn't intervene or request support from Onigashima, Ian alone with the Golden Dragon is enough to fight Wang Zhi!"

"Without a doubt, the Beasts Pirates have become the most powerful pirate crew in the New World, no, in the entire world!"

Marshal Kong frowned.

too fast.

The Beasts Pirates' expansion rate can't keep up with the growth rate of these brats.

"Air Marshal! Breaking news!"

Just then, a messenger rushed into the marshal's office, shouting, "The Golden Dragon has gone to the North Sea!"

"what?"

The incredibly burly naval admiral turned his head in astonishment. "Are you sure?"

Meanwhile, a crucial government-mandated transaction is taking place in Beihai.

"Yes, Marshal Kong!"

The messenger shouted, "The technical department overheard his communication with Ian of the Burning Heaven. Morgans is reporting the location of the Shichibukai Doflamingo to Ian of the Burning Heaven."

Kong frowned instantly.

Are Morgans' communications so easily intercepted?

However, the news is definitely not false.

damn it!

Kong clenched his fists instantly.

Are they eyeing the fruits of the surgery?

That persistent brat!

"Tsuru is in charge of this transaction in Hokkaido. She and Gion are not strong enough together."

Air Marshal pondered, "Boltelino was chasing the Sun Pirates in the first half, Sakazuki and Sengoku were at G-1 base, and Kuzan and Garp were at headquarters. It's too late for them all."

"Send Zephyr to the North Sea! Isn't he leading interns on a training exercise in the New World? Send him to the North Sea to meet with He!"

As for Doflamingo, Kong didn't take him seriously. Doflamingo wouldn't dare offend Ian, so why would he dare to directly confront the Navy?

"Yes, Marshal Kong!"

North Sea.

The Golden Dragon once again broke through the windless conditions and arrived at this sea area.

This trip across the Calm Belt was actually much more dangerous than the previous one.

After all, there were several sea monsters in the sea this time.

They can usually run rampant, but in the Calm Belt, they are definitely a vulnerable group, and a slight mistake can lead to collective bullying from the Sea Kings.

However, they did encounter some sea kings along the way, but these monsters, which were only a few meters tall, all ran away obediently after Ian unleashed a Conqueror's Haki attack.

And so we arrived in Beihai.

Upon arriving in the North Sea, Ian made no stop and continued heading in a certain direction without pause.

Morgans said that the Don Quixote family was heading in that direction.

"Fruits of the operation?"

On the deck of the Golden Dragon, Hancock's second sister, Sandersonia, asked with some confusion, "Is that fruit very powerful?"

Is it really worth going to such lengths just for a Devil Fruit?

Who isn't a capable person?

"The Op-Op Fruit is no ordinary Devil Fruit."

Ian chuckled.

If we're talking about flashy designs, even Nika isn't as exaggerated as the Operation Fruit.

"Five billion peles".
