One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

what happened?

He wasn't seriously injured, was he?

He wanted to raise his hand.

However, he then realized that his hands were handcuffed.

His hands were handcuffed behind his back.

what happened?

What exactly is going on?

He instinctively tried to struggle.

"No need to bother, Smoker,"

A familiar voice came from the side, "These are high-purity sea stone handcuffs; you can't break free."

"Hai Lou Shi?"

Smoker strained to look up at the pink-haired woman sitting weakly in front of him, though her hair was now a complete mess and her original appearance was unrecognizable.

But Smoker could see that the woman was also wearing handcuffs.

"Tina! What happened?"

He fainted too soon and didn't see what happened next.

"What was the outcome of the battle?"

"Given our current situation, isn't the outcome of the battle clear enough?"

Tina sighed, "Although Tina doesn't want to believe it either, the fact is that Professor Zephyr was defeated by Ian of the Heavenly Flame, and Little Gion was also captured by Ian. Sister Tsuru had no choice but to make everyone put down their weapons."

"What!!"

Smoker's body jolted.

How could Zephyr-sensei lose?

How could the righteous navy lose?

So what exactly is going on now?

"So, you should understand the situation now, right? The Five Elders?"

Smoker heard Ian's voice.

He begged his colleagues to help him up.

His colleague was not a power user, so there was no need to add the sea stone restraints, and he was quickly promoted to the position.

Then Smoker was finally able to see.

At the very front of the densely packed naval formation sitting on the snow, there was a guy named Ian Burning Sky, holding a Den Den Mushi in one hand and grabbing Zephyr's collar with the other, talking to the Den Den Mushi.

Smoker's pupils suddenly trembled.

Am I dreaming?

This scene before my eyes is something that could never happen even in a dream.

And what did Ian say?

Five old stars?

Could it be that he was communicating with the Five Elders, the pinnacle of the World Government?

"Former Admiral, current Chief Instructor Black Arm Zephyr, Vice Admiral, Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Tsuru, Vice Admiral Gion, a rising star and old acquaintance, and a bunch of new and old naval recruits, what are you going to offer me in exchange?"

Smoker heard Ian say that.

exchange?

He suddenly felt his body trembling.

Are pirates using the Marines and the World Government to make a deal? And the other party in the deal is even one of the Five Elders.

"Kid, you've got some nerve!"

Smoker heard the voices of the Five Elders for the first time; they were as old as he had imagined, and filled with anger.

"This doesn't seem to be my fault, does it? Wasn't it because the navy you sent was too weak?"

Ian's words enraged Smoker.

Then came a period of dejection.

Even Teacher Zefa was defeated; they are indeed too weak.

"what do you want?"

The anger subsided, and the Five Elders agreed to the deal.

A strange emotion suddenly welled up in Smoker's heart.

He knew that he would most likely survive.

However, it was such a humiliating experience.

"You all know, right? Our Beasts Pirates have been expanding recently, but there are two member states of the government and even a naval base near our waters, which is getting in our way."

Ian said, "Let's trade them for it. Give them to me."

Smoker's eyes widened suddenly.

Two member states? One naval base?

"What are you talking about, you brat! Putting aside G-14 base for now, are you serious about two member states? How could a government possibly attack a member state!"

Smoker breathed a sigh of relief at the Five Elders' answer; as expected, such an excessive request—

"Don't treat me like a fool. Take the North Sea, for example. You know better than I do how Flevans perished. What are mere member states to you? Just publish a statement in the newspaper saying that those two countries didn't pay their celestial gold this year, so they're being removed from the government. That's it, isn't it?"

How did Ian answer?

Frefans?

Smoker tried hard to remember.

Some impression.

But wasn't that country wiped out by its neighbor because of an infectious disease?

The Five Elders fell silent.

But this silence instilled a sense of fear in Smoker.

He would rather die than have the World Government agree to this condition!

This kind of shame is a hundred thousand times more terrifying than death!

but.

"We agreed."

That's what the Five Elders said.

Smoker trembled and gritted his teeth.

"great."

Ian's voice was tinged with laughter, "Your World Government is so straightforward. All those negotiations we've had haven't been in vain."

"Since we've already made the deal, let's go all the way."

The Five Elders continued, "Op-Op Fruit, kid, hand over the Op-Op Fruit to us, and you can state your demands directly."

"Fruits of the operation?"

Ian feigned ignorance, "What is that? I've never heard of it. I'm giving you one day to withdraw the people from G-14 base and at the same time, I'll announce that those two countries are being expelled from the government ranks."

Then, Ian hung up the phone.

He smiled and looked down at Zefa, who was still being held in his hand. The man was staring at him intently. "Oh, what a terrifying look. But Mr. Zefa, shouldn't you thank me? I let you off the hook."

Zefa didn't speak, but his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

“You don’t have the same experience as your disciples in this area,”

Ian casually put Zephyr back into the navy's ranks and smiled at Gion, who was tightly bound by specially made chains, "Right, Vice Admiral Gion?"

This seems to be the second time she's been tied up like this.

Gion didn't say anything, she just hung her head and looked dejected.

"Then let's wait here for a day."

Ian stretched.

So be it.

These naval forces are also a hot potato.

It would be a huge loss to just release it.

If we take them down, the navy will go crazy again.

It wouldn't be bad to switch to two countries and use an existing fortress base.

Those are member states of two world governments, and their economic strength is far superior to that of the non-governmental member states under the Beasts Pirates, which were originally so poor they were practically starving.

Ian looked towards the hilltop on one side.

Donquixote and his crew fled immediately after the battle ended. Doflamingo only said goodbye from a distance, and he seemed genuinely frightened.

So, one day later.

"I have arrived at Naval Base G-14,"

Ian was on the phone with someone, saying, "This place is completely empty now. The fleet is on its way, and this can become the pirate crew's largest base overseas."

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Jin."

Ian expressed his sincere gratitude.

I rushed over immediately after receiving his message yesterday, and now I'm sending you the firsthand information.
