One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

"So they've finally made their move again?"

Hawkeye, whose eyes had been glazed over, instantly snapped back to reality, his eyes brimming with anticipation. "Where is that country?"

"Violette?"

Ian spoke.

Beside her, Violet was flipping through a nautical chart of the East China Sea.

After confirming their current location and the location of the attacked country, she activated her ability and looked in that direction.

The range of the Staring Stare Fruit's telescopic vision reaches four thousand kilometers, an astonishing figure.

but.

Violet shook her head. "Too far, beyond my observation range."

The East China Sea is too vast.

Four thousand kilometers is not a particularly remarkable distance in this sea area.

"Tsk,"

Ian laughed and said, "Senior Golden Lion is quite clever. Apart from the fact that all three attacks were carried out by member states of the government, there is no pattern to it."

He was probably well aware that the government had dispatched a terrifying force to the East China Sea to capture him.

So I played a little trick.

But this little trick has probably already given the navy a lot of headaches.

How can we talk about defeating someone when we have no idea where Shiki's next target will be?

No matter how many troops are gathered, it's useless if they can't find the person.

Hawkeye frowned as well. "In that case, how do we find him?"

He came specifically to fight the Golden Lion.

But now it seems that even finding the Golden Lion is a troublesome matter, let alone winning or losing.

It's just like the Inch Stop Challenge; you're so close, but you just miss that final step.

"We can only wait."

Ian said, "Wait until he comes within Violet's field of vision."

A radius of four thousand kilometers is still quite wide.

Even if the Golden Lion Senior is carrying out a random terrorist attack, as long as he is within Violet's capture range, he will have nowhere to escape.

The chances are quite high, or rather, as long as Ian is still in the East China Sea, they will definitely meet sooner or later.

It's just unknown how many countries will be destroyed before that.

Ian sighed.

Oh, so the countries being destroyed now are all member states that are loyal to the World Government?

That doesn't matter.

Rather, this battle will likely deal a huge blow to the government's prestige.

This has never happened before. For a powerful figure of this caliber to target ordinary people is utterly shameless.

What will the reputation of a world government that cannot even protect its member states be among them?

That's good.

One hundred and seventy member states are the foundation for a world government to rule the world.

If they lose faith in the World Government, then the organization will naturally collapse.

Just as Ian had expected, the Navy was also in a state of utter chaos.

"Yet another country has been destroyed!"

Somewhere in the East China Sea, Admiral Sengoku was being subjected to a fierce storm from the Five Elders, exclaiming, "What the hell is the Navy doing?!"

The Warring States period was filled with rage.

Even if the Navy only sent him, Garp, Borsalino, and Kuzan this time, it would be impossible to defend the entire East Blue, let alone bring the top combat power of the entire Navy Headquarters.

In such a vast sea area, the four of them had each led their fleets to various parts of the East China Sea to search for and guard against the Golden Lion, but it was still far from enough.

However, no matter how aggrieved he felt, he could only honestly say to the Five Elders, "It was our dereliction of duty, Your Excellency Five Elders."

"Listen, forget about Ian or Hawkeye, the only one we need to focus on right now is Golden Lion!"

The Five Elders roared, "We've sent CP0 to the East Blue to help you. They'll use the CP system to their fullest extent to help you search for the whereabouts of the Golden Lion!"

"As long as that Golden Lion is still human, he will definitely leave his mark!"

"Don't let him run rampant anymore!"

"Yes!"

Sengoku's expression instantly turned serious.

We can no longer let the Golden Lion run rampant!

This is also what the navy wants.

In the name of justice!

As the navy's fighting spirit was ignited, the Golden Dragon was already close to its destination.

"Is that the place?"

Hawkeye and Ian stood side by side at the bow of the ship, gazing at the island that was getting closer and closer in the distance, with a little bit of anticipation.

"Frost Moon Village."

Ian said calmly, "This should be the place."

"Frost Moon?"

Yamato leaned closer, his normally handsome brows furrowing like caterpillars as he pondered, "I feel like I've heard this word before?"

"If you didn't just spend all your time playing, you wouldn't forget."

Ian tapped the guy on the head.

It made a banging sound, and its mind was indeed empty.

"Have you forgotten the samurai alliance we wiped out back then?"

"what?"

Yamato blinked, unable to remember.

Ian wasn't surprised; her memory was only slightly better than a goldfish's.

"In other words, Ian,"

Hawkeye raised an eyebrow. "This village is related to Wano Country?"

When it comes to samurai, they are of course a specialty of Wano Country.

"Yes."

Ian nodded slightly. "Let's go, let's go see the descendants of the warriors."

Hawkeye declined to comment.

The approach of the Golden Dragon was so obvious and impossible to conceal that anyone who wasn't blind could see such a massive ship.

"Pirates are coming!"

"Yes, it's the Golden Dragon! Ian Burning Sky has arrived!!"

The news spread rapidly from the port to the island.

The dojo on the island.

A man named Shimotsuki Koushirou heard the commotion outside.

His expression suddenly changed, and his usually smiling eyes instantly turned sharp.

He immediately told the students at the dojo, "Everyone, get out of here right now!"

These aren't ordinary pirates!

Moreover, they are the Beasts Pirates!

The Beasts Pirates have occupied Wano Country!

Did you come here because of the name "Frost Moon"?

Koushirou gritted his teeth and, carrying his sword, sped toward the port like the wind.

He was determined to protect the village no matter what!

At all costs!

When he arrived at the port at breakneck speed, all he saw was a huge ship quietly docked at the shore, and a group of people walking down the lowered stairs.

"Ok?"

Hawkeye, who had already arrived at the dock, instantly focused his attention on Koushirou.

A smirk played on his lips. "Are there still swordsmen like this in a corner of the East China Sea?"

A first-rate swordsman can tell someone's skill level with just one glance.

Upon seeing him, Koushirou was also taken aback. "Hawkeye?"

How could Hawkeye, the world's greatest swordsman and the goal of all swordsmen, be hanging out with Ian?

"After all, they are descendants of the Shimotsuki family."

The boy next to Hawkeye's words caught Koushirou's attention.

Ian the Burning Sky!

A monster known throughout the world!

So young, only a few years older than Kuina.
