One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

"Kid?"

"Are they all kids?"

"Are they really members of the Beasts Pirates? I've never seen them before. Could they be imposters?"

"Have you lost your mind? What kind of madman would dare to come to Boss Wang Zhi's territory and impersonate the Beasts Pirates?"

Ian paid no attention to the pirates' discussions; he was simply recalling what Teacher Kai had said, as Babanuki had recounted earlier.

After the Rocks Pirates were destroyed, Guy's old friend, like Guy and the others, formed his own pirate crew.

However, his strength was clearly slightly inferior to that of Whitebeard, Guy, and Charlotte Linlin, so he was unable to expand his territory and establish his own base.

He made Beehive Island his base. Anyway, Wang Zhi didn't reject foreign pirates. As long as they paid him protection money on time, he could survive there.

This is the old friend that Teacher Kai mentioned, who has settled down and built a career here.

Ian felt conflicted about this.

To some extent, they have indeed settled down and established a career.

Not long ago, Mr. Kai, an old friend, encountered a powerful enemy during a voyage. He was the only one who managed to escape, but he was too badly injured to live much longer. That's when he called Mr. Kai.

He also had two young children, who were left without care after his death.

Having lived on Beehive Island for decades, one could easily find out the whereabouts of the siblings by asking any of the island's elderly residents.

However, before Ian could ask anyone, the pirates watching from the front parted to make way, accompanied by exclamations of surprise.

A tall, thin man walked out of the passage.

Ian looked him over.

Standing at just over three meters tall, he wasn't particularly outstanding among the many pirates present. His only notable feature was his unusually thin frame, almost like a bamboo pole, as if he could be blown away by the wind at any moment.

Its cheeks are also quite long and thin, no longer at the level of a horse's face, but more like a stick worm.

The man, who looked to be under forty, sized up Ian and his companions without saying a word.

"Hey, what are you trying to do?"

Yamato stepped forward, speaking aggressively, "Do you also want to fight us?"

I think that's probably not the case.

Ian remained expressionless.

On Beehive Island, the only person Ian could think of who would command such respect from pirates was a member of the Wang Zhi Pirates.

The Wang Zhi Pirates happen to be the least likely to directly confront them on this island.

Sure enough, the cold-faced man spoke indifferently, "Boss Wang Zhi sent me to give you a warning. He doesn't care what you do, but remember, don't act recklessly on this island."

After saying that, the man turned and left without looking back, without the slightest hesitation.

Wow, cool man.

However, does Wang Zhi's attitude mean that Teacher Kai had already given prior notice?

Otherwise, Wang Zhi would have no reason to know about him and his group, right?

Ian was deeply moved. Teacher Kay, you're so gentle now.

"What?! This guy is so arrogant!"

Yamato retorted angrily, "They don't even respect me!"

"alright,"

Ian pulled her hand and walked forward, "Let's find someone to ask for directions first."

Who's really being so arrogant?

Isn't this attitude quite normal?

An uninvited guest arrived at the house, but Ian thought Wang Zhi was being a bit weak by only giving a verbal warning.

In short.

Can anyone answer a question for me?

Ian looked around at the pirates and asked a question in a loud voice.

……

Runti was extremely anxious as she hurried through the alley.

She is only seven years old this year. This should be a carefree age, when she is pampered in her parents' arms. However, Runti is wearing a tattered dress, covered in stains, and carrying a wooden stick with many nails hammered into its head as she runs through the dilapidated alley.

The girl wearing the unusual mask was breathing rapidly due to the continuous high-speed running, but she did not stop for a moment.

Little Pei! Your big sister is here to save you!!

The little girl quickly turned a corner, and what appeared before her eyes was a sight that made her eyes widen in horror.

The thin boy, who looked to be only five or six years old, was surrounded by several teenagers. One of the boys grabbed the boy's head and rubbed it against the wall. The boy's face was rubbed raw by the rough wall, and blood stained the wall.

"Run, kid, why aren't you running anymore?"

"Xiao Pei!!!"

Runti felt like she was about to explode.

The little girl had never imagined that her life would undergo such a dramatic change.

When her father was still alive, she was carefree and never worried about anything.

Although her father often went to sea, when he returned, he always spent all his time playing with her and her younger brother.

So even though her mother passed away early, Runti never lacked love.

Back then, she would spend every day playing wildly on the island with her younger brother.

However, things changed drastically after my father died not long ago.

Pirates who had conflicts with their father came knocking on their door and used various means to seize all the property left by their father, leaving Runti and her younger brother homeless.

But the pirates' revenge is not over yet.

Lord Wang Zhi wouldn't allow anyone to cause trouble on the island, so they sent their children over to constantly bully the brother and sister.

Today, in the blink of an eye, her younger brother, Page Van, was snatched away by those bastards, and Runti hurriedly chased after them.

"You bastards! Die!"

How dare they bully Xiao Pei!

Runti was furious.

She had promised her dying father that she would protect Xiao Pei!

The little girl sprinted forward, leaped into the air, and swung her homemade spiked club at a boy on the head before the others could react.

"Wow!"

A scream rang out as the seven-year-old girl smashed the unfortunate boy's skull open.

The boy screamed and collapsed to the ground, clearly still breathing.

"You—you—you killed him!!"

The other teenagers exclaimed in surprise.

Although we knew this girl was very strong, this was still too exaggerated! They weren't ordinary teenagers; they were all reserve pirates!

Is there such a big difference after you take on the weapon?

"You all die too!"

Runti's eyes were completely red, and she didn't think about anything else but that these bastards who hurt Xiaopei must die!

She swung her spiked club haphazardly, beating the boys until they screamed and ran away in terror, immediately knocking two more of them to the ground.

"You just wait!"

The boys fled in a sorry state.

"Quick, Xiao Pei, let's run!"

Runti didn't continue the chase. Instead, she quickly carried her younger brother on her back and ran away.

She was too young to know what to do next; all she knew was that she should run away.

"elder sister--"

The little boy, bruised and swollen, his face covered in blood, murmured weakly.

"Xiao Pei! Your big sister will definitely protect you!"

Runti said loudly.

However, the moment she rushed out of the alley, a large foot came straight at her, and Runti was instantly kicked to the ground.

"You brat! What have you done?!"

Several pirates surrounded Runti and her brother, their expressions furious.

The boys who had just run away followed behind them.

These children weren't just randomly chosen; they were their own.

And now, this guy has killed the child!

"I'll kill you!!"

Lord Wang Zhi's restraints were thrown to the back of their minds, and the enraged pirates were now acting recklessly.

Runti's first reaction was...

"Run! Xiao Pei! Run!"

The little girl screamed, flipped herself up, and pounced on the pirates.

"elder sister--"

The little boy named Page One stared blankly at his blood-stained face as he weakly watched his sister being knocked to the ground again by the pirates in an instant.

Even with such extraordinary talent, there is still a significant gap between him and the elite pirates who venture into the New World.
