One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

It's alright, it's definitely alright. Sabo must have already escaped long ago.

Ace comforted himself in this way.

After all, they had already escaped to the sea long ago, how could they possibly have perished?

but--

What if not?

No matter how hard he tried to comfort himself, the fear in his heart still clung to him like a leech.

All of this was the work of the Golden Lion!

And Ian killed him.

Ace took a deep breath and solemnly declared, "Old man! I've said it before! I want to join Ian's ship! I want to go to sea and become a pirate!"

"If you're going to arrest Ian, then arrest me too!"

He was still just a child, and didn't consider the implications of his words at all.

"..."

Hero Garp shuddered, his face turning extremely pale.

"Oh, are you Mr. Garp's junior?"

Kizaru looked at Ace and said, "You've made a very bad decision."

"I think this is the best decision."

Ian chuckled, “But Ace, there’s no need to threaten Mr. Garp with yourself. I’m not so destitute that I need my companion to threaten his family who care about him.”

"But Ian—"

Ace wanted to say something more, but the old man was terrifyingly strong!

He's someone who can rival that bastard father!

"Don't worry,"

Luo grabbed Ace, "Ian has never lost!"

Ace opened his mouth.

No, I don't want Ian to lose, but I don't want him to win either.

If the sword that cleaved the golden lion had landed on the old man, wouldn't he have been finished too?

Ace was caught in a dilemma.

Ian laughed and said, "Don't mind what Ace said, Vice Admiral Garp. Just do what you need to do."

Let's give it a try and see what kind of power this legendary naval hero possesses.

"There's really no way,"

The redhead chuckled, "Then let us be your opponents."

Hawkeye remained silent, but the blade in his hand was covered in a layer of black.

"Huh? Hawkeye?"

Kizaru asked in surprise, "Are you going to take that side too? Don't forget, you're one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea under the government's control."

Hawkeye's lips curled slightly.

He was not, after all, the same indifferent old farmer he would be a decade or so later.

Shichibukai?

Who cares about that kind of thing?

Just as he was about to say that.

Let's end it here.

A voice suddenly came from the sky.

Everyone looked up.

Dragon descended from the sky in the form of wind, landing between the two groups. He spoke calmly, "Instead of suppressing pirates, shouldn't the Navy be searching for survivors right now?"

Hero Garp's expression changed instantly.

Yes!

They were so focused on defeating the Golden Lion and Ian that they almost forgot the great calamity that had befallen the Goa Kingdom, with countless people still missing and their fates unknown!

With the country completely paralyzed, or even utterly destroyed, the surviving citizens can only wait for the navy to rescue them.

Ian couldn't help but glance at Dragon with some surprise.

Shouldn't I say he truly deserves to be called my own son?

With just one sentence, the hero Garp's fighting spirit was greatly diminished.

"If anyone still wants to fight,"

Dragon said seriously, "Then let me join in too. I will help the other side that started the fight."

"Oh, Dragon? It's been a long time,"

Borsalino, with an air of familiarity, complained, "But aren't you just helping the pirates? After all, they didn't want to fight us in the first place."

"The Revolutionary Army, actually associating with pirates?"

Dragon gave him a deep look. "Compared to the World Government, pirates are much more lovable."

"Hahahaha!"

Ian couldn't help but applaud his words, "Well said, Mr. Dragon! The World Government is the original sin of this world, and we pirates are nothing more than flies."

Hero Garp couldn't help but glare angrily at Ian.

That brat, he really dares to say that!

However, Ian looked at Dragon, who knew very well who his friends and enemies were.

Although pirates and the Revolutionary Army are not on the same side, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

If all the powerful pirates disappear, then life will be tough for the Revolutionary Army.

"So, it's over, right?"

Hawkeye swiftly sheathed his sword. "Let's go then."

"Surtur."

Ian said softly.

"Yes Master!"

The tiny fire spirit instantly transformed into a gigantic fire giant, grabbing everyone and flying into the sky.

Goodbye then.

Ian waved goodbye to the navy below.

Hero Garp looked very grim.

However, no order was given to pursue them.

Dorrag is blocking the way.

Without any obstruction, flames spewed from Surtur's back, just like Ian, propelling its massive body across the sky like a shooting star.

Now, the party is truly over.

"The rest is up to you, old man."

Dragon gave Lieutenant General Garp a deep look, then vanished into thin air.

He didn't bring many people with him, so he was unable to help with the search and rescue.

Moreover, if he were to bring the Revolutionary Army to participate in the search and rescue, then a war between the Revolutionary Army and the Navy would likely break out next.

"Oh dear, suddenly it's just us left."

Qingzhi sighed.

In the end, didn't we do nothing at all?

The Golden Lion was killed by Ian.

As a result, Ian and his group did not stay either.

"Mr. Garp, Dragon has left. Should we continue the pursuit?"

Kizaru asked casually.

Garp shook his head. "Notify the navy in Windmill Village, as well as the navy at the surrounding naval bases, to begin search and rescue immediately!"

Fortunately, the battle with the Golden Lion did not last long, and it is still the golden time for search and rescue.

"Yes."

Kizaru and Aokiji answered at the same time.

At the same time, Kizaru breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, they didn't say they would continue the pursuit.

Fighting Ian Shanks is a completely different matter from fighting the Red-Haired Pirates and the Golden Dragon.

Windmill Village.

It didn't take long before Fire Spirit brought everyone back here.

A colossal fire giant descended upon the dock.

"Ian! How are you?"

Yamato was the first to jump over.

Ian caught her in mid-air and jumped back onto the deck of the Golden Dragon with her, chuckling, "Simple as ever."

"He killed the Golden Lion."
