One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

"Is it finally here?"

Zefa pushed up his glasses.

Looking up, I watched the figures descending from the sky.

The real show is finally about to begin.

"Ian of the Burning Heaven!"

He gazed at the boy.

The boy was also watching him.

"Black Arm Zefa."

What's this guy doing here?

Chapter 123 Two Years of Growth!

2024-06-15

Black Wrist Zephyr.

The name of the man in front of you.

Former Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Chief Instructor of the Navy—each of these titles is quite intimidating.

Ian really didn't expect the Navy to send him here.

But this isn't right.

If the Don Quixote family hadn't been involved in the original work, even Vice Admiral Tsuru probably wouldn't have come.

While the fruits of surgery are valuable, is it really necessary to bring all the former admirals here?

Could it be that they're after me?

Ian narrowed his eyes and landed lightly on the ground.

Byd Morgans!

Apart from that scruffy bird, there was no one else who could reveal his whereabouts.

Want big news, huh?

You've mastered the art of profiting from both ends, and now you understand how to leverage traffic effectively.

"That's Ian Burning Heaven!"

Behind Zephyr, a pink-haired rookie female navy officer looked at Ian with some surprise. "It's really surprising, Tina. Although he looks a bit more mature than in the wanted poster, he's really only fifteen years old."

The woman was standing next to a white-haired man.

He puffed on a cigar, glancing at Ian's companions behind him: Yamato of the Frozen Sea, Witch Hancock, Mammoth Jack, Black Widow Black Maria, Bomber Drake, and a spotted-hat kid who wasn't wanted.

All the officers on the Golden Dragon have arrived.

The man's eyes were filled with excitement.

We now have the chance to confront notorious criminals we've only ever seen in newspapers and on wanted posters!

Far from feeling any fear, he was actually quite impatient.

Fighting is fun!

Ian's attention was also drawn to the two new navy recruits.

Are those Smoker and Tina?

Since these two guys are following behind Zephyr, it means they just joined the Navy, right?

Is it really a coincidence?

"Ian!"

Yamato almost impatiently tugged at Ian's sleeve, "Are we about to start fighting?"

"Wait a mininute."

Ian looked at Drake, "How is it?"

"all the best."

Drake took out the small box and handed it to Ian.

This small box instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

Both Lieutenant General Tsuru and Black Arm Zephyr had their brows slightly furrowed.

Doflamingo clenched his fists. Had Ian beaten him to it?

Ian took the small box, didn't even glance at it, and casually tossed it to Law, saying, "Here you go."

Luo caught it somewhat clumsily, and asked in confusion, "Why are you giving it to me?"

"Of course it's because you're the weakest."

Jack casually said, "So all you need to do is protect it."

Luo gritted his teeth. "Don't underestimate me. I can fight too!"

Ian simply smiled, then turned to look at the Don Quixote family. "Dover! Long time no see. You're here too?"

“咈咈咈!”

The stiffness on Doflamingo's face had completely disappeared, replaced by a bright smile. "Ian, if you had said earlier that you were also interested in the Op-Op Fruit, I wouldn't have come."

"Oh? The Operation Fruit?"

Ian asked in surprise, "What Ope Ope no Mi? Drake just said he wanted to come back to visit his family. He's here to see his father, right, Drake?"

"Yes, Lord Ian."

Drake nodded without hesitation, "But unfortunately, my father is an incorrigible scoundrel, and I've decided to cut ties with him."

"Is that right?"

Ian sighed, "That's a real shame. Family ties are very precious."

Doflamingo's lips twitched.

What are you pretending for?

"Ian of the Burning Heaven!"

A calm but powerful voice came through.

It is Zefa.

He stood atop the hill, looking down at Ian. "There's no point in pretending. Hand over the fruits of your surgery."

"This is really quite baffling,"

Ian scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. "If I remember correctly, we're the pirates, right, Drake? But why did I hear Mr. Zephyr trying to rob us?"

"This is the Navy."

Drake gave a disdainful sneer, "The so-called righteous navy is nothing more than a larger version of pirates."

"Hahahaha!"

Ian laughed heartily, "You're right, Drake! You're right!"

However, it wasn't the navy, it was the world government.

The World Government is just a super-enhanced version of the Beasts Pirates.

The Celestial Dragons are Guy, himself, and the rulers of the Yamato Pirates.

The member states are the islands under its control.

And the Navy is the pirate crews.

The difference between the World Government and the Four Emperors has never been between officials and thieves, nor between justice and evil, but simply between large and small warlords.

"Shut up! You bastard! Your arrogance ends here!"

Gion could no longer suppress her restless heart and, just like two years ago, charged towards Ian once again.

“Gion…”

Zefa shook his head in disappointment.

Impatience is the opposite of victory.

Why can't you understand this principle?

"Ian!"

Two voices came from behind Ian at the same time.

Yamato and Hancock said almost in unison, "I'll take care of this guy!"

Sometimes I really can't figure out whether your relationship is good or bad.

Ian's lips twitched slightly.

I'll do it myself then.

He took two steps forward.

"drink!"

Gion stomped her foot on the ground, kicking up a flurry of snowflakes, and moved like lightning to approach Ian. Her long sword was poised to strike, ready to unleash a dazzling slash.

Iai, boy!

However, this "immediately" has yet to arrive.

In a flash, Ian raised his right hand.

"...!"

Gion looked up at Ian in disbelief.

Ian reached out his right hand, grabbed her right wrist, and pressed it down so that she couldn't even draw her knife.
