One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

Drake replied matter-of-factly, "Everyone knows that, right? Lord Ian, you are the one who truly manages the Beasts Pirates."

"I don't mind,"

Law yawned lazily. "But Ian, I'm your subordinate, not Kaido's."

Hancock's two younger sisters followed in their sister's footsteps, saying, "Our sister's decision is our decision!"

Finally, Violet, a sixteen-year-old girl, rolled her eyes. "What I say makes no difference? I just do whatever you say."

Ian gasped.

Wow, you guys really know how to surprise me!

Are you really going to start a new Beasts Pirates?

Ian was immediately alerted by his friend's attitude.

If those who have lived by his side the longest and know him best have done this, what about everyone else?

Ian immediately summoned Babanuki.

This guy has been on the ship since he was transferred to the Golden Dragon more than two years ago, and by now he is considered one of Ian's confidants.

So, the moment this guy approached Ian, he greeted him with an undisguised smile. "Lord Ian, when shall we begin our operation?"

Although Kaido is indeed a remarkable leader.

But it's clear that Lord Ian has a brighter future!

This adult is only fifteen years old this year.

It's unimaginable how bright his future will be!

This lord is the one destined to lead the Beasts Pirates forward in the future!

But now, this "future" has arrived sooner than expected.

Ian pinched the bridge of his nose. "You're not going to tell me that the other people on the ship think the same way, are you?"

"Of course, Lord Ian!"

Babanuki thought Ian was asking if there were any traitors on board, so he quickly and firmly replied, "Everyone on the Golden Dragon is your most loyal follower!"

Looking at the guy's face full of loyalty, Ian couldn't help but facepalm.

You guys are really planning to put on a show of bestowing an imperial robe upon me, aren't you?

However, after a moment's thought, he realized that he couldn't really blame these guys.

Not only within the Beasts Pirates, but even worldwide, everyone knows that he is the future successor of the Beasts Pirates.

When this successor displays overwhelming power, those below will naturally wonder if his ascension to the throne should be brought forward, especially in a dog-eat-dog world like the Beasts Pirates.

In the following days, the discussion in the newspapers about whether the Beasts Pirates should change their leader was rampant.

Major newspapers took turns publishing articles, and numerous writers expressed their opinions.

There is only one core idea in the whole.

Ian Burning Sky will eventually become the new leader of the Beasts Pirates, and given his growth rate, he may replace Kaido much sooner than many people think.

Quite coincidentally, no one mentioned that Kaido is only forty-six years old this year, absolutely in his prime, far from the age of retirement.

Ian thinks it would be strange if this lively scene wasn't orchestrated by someone behind the scenes.

Even the pirates on Beehive Island were looking at him with intense fervor.

There's not much to say; you should consult a good friend immediately for advice on this kind of thing.

Ian made a phone call to Morgans.

"Hehehe, I noticed that too,"

Even though Ian had ripped out his heart, Morgans' attitude remained unchanged, still with a nonchalant and mocking look. "Even my World Economic News has received many similar articles."

Ian rolled his eyes. "Stop talking nonsense, what's the conclusion?"

He didn't believe that Morgans, that bastard, hadn't done anything.

"Hehehe, you really can hide anything from me."

Morgans chuckled and said, "But actually, there's no need to investigate this at all."

"Who else in the world is capable of doing this?"

Ian scoffed. "Who else could it be but the World Government?"

Is Byd World Government trying to sow discord between me?

They probably felt that completely eliminating the Beasts Pirates would be too troublesome, but they couldn't just stand by and watch the Beasts Pirates continue to grow stronger, so they planned to sow discord within the Beasts Pirates.

The main tactic was to provoke conflict between herself and Teacher Kai.

“What should we do, Ian?”

Morgans laughed and said, "Although I have some influence in the news industry, it's impossible to get everyone to refuse the government's demands."

Ian narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

Then he grinned and said, "No need. Just do what you need to do."

"Oh?"

Morgans' tone held a hint of surprise. "Is this really a good idea?"

"Isn't this great?"

Ian said calmly, "If the government gets what it wants, it won't think about doing anything else underhanded."

"Oh, I see. You're planning to turn the tables on me, but what about Kaido?"

The World Government's tactics are practically an open secret.

But it's just so hard to resist.

Once suspicion takes hold, it will only grow endlessly.

Because at this point, Ian had indeed posed a significant threat to Kaido.

but.

"Don't underestimate the bond between me and Guy-sensei! We're the Beasts Pirates!"

Ian felt that as he uttered these words with such righteous indignation, he was just like the protagonist in a shonen manga, ready to unleash a battle hymn and obliterate his enemies with a single Iron Fist of the Winged Dragon.

Morgans didn't quite understand, but still said, "I understand."

call ended.

I need to go back to Ghost Island.

It's not that I'm in a hurry to go back and explain to Teacher Kai.

Since we've already decided to play along, we might as well go all the way with the act.

As for whether Teacher Kay would actually suspect this, Ian never doubted it.

The Five Elders probably wouldn't understand that even the ruthless, cunning, and tyrannical Mr. Kai still adheres to a certain morality and never doubts the companions he trusts.

This is basically a characteristic of this world; even villainous groups are often very united, and there is basically no infighting.

The same applies to Baroque Works, CP9, Moria, the Don Quixote Family, and the Charlotte Family.

On the contrary, the relationship between the World Government and the Navy is very delicate. If the story were to unfold as it does in the original work, Ian would be almost certain that the Navy, or at least some of its members, would betray the World Government.

When Ian said he would temporarily halt his plan to occupy the surrounding islands and return to Wano Country first, his friends were ecstatic.

Yamato exclaimed even more directly, "Yay! Are we going to start a war with Daddy?"

"Don't say stupid things."

Ian tapped the girl on the head. "This is a conspiracy by the World Government."

"conspiracy?"

The others were all taken aback.

Then Ian explained to them what the government had actually done.

The friends were all startled.

"How despicable!"

"I was so happy for nothing!" Yamato shouted angrily.

Ian glanced at the guy.

You are truly Teacher Kai's good daughter.

In conclusion, the Golden Dragon returned home.

Meanwhile, Marie Joa.

“Ian has already begun returning to Wano Country, and he hasn’t even had time to take over the territory left behind by the King.”

"It seems that kid has finally gotten anxious and is eager to go back and explain to Kaido."

"But he even killed Wang Zhi? It seems that it won't be long before he surpasses Kaido."

"The King's Fist, is it really such an interesting move? Let CP0 go to Prodens."

What's the situation with the Beasts Pirates?

"Many pirates on Onigashima have reacted enthusiastically to this. Ian has a high reputation in the Beasts Pirates over the years."

"It seems our plan is progressing smoothly. Now it's up to Kaido to react. Keep a close eye on the situation on Onigashima."

The Golden Dragon returned at full speed, and with the help of the sea monsters, it took less than a week to get back to Wano Country.

Ian was too lazy to go through the harbor again, so he transformed into a giant golden dragon, grabbed the ship, and flew into the Inland Sea.

Before long, Ghost Island reappeared before Ian.

When Ian returned to Ghost Island, he could clearly feel the strange atmosphere there.

The pirates looked at him with rather strange eyes.

Some reacted with skepticism and astonishment, while others were filled with fervor and anticipation.
