The new world was, after all, too small, and there were too many monsters.

“Tell Snake—”

Time returns to the present.

port.

"Lord Ian, what should we do now?"

Even the experienced Babanuki was now at a loss, sweating profusely and unsure of what to do.

Experience and wisdom are utterly useless when facing an enemy that is completely beyond our ability to cope.

"Since they're coming for us, let's fight!"

The war-monster Yamato exuded an imposing aura, his feet planted firmly on the dock railing, his spiked club pointed directly at the approaching ships in the distance, shouting, "Crush them!"

Fighting is fun!

Upon hearing this, Babanuki's forehead broke out in even more sweat.

Miss Yamato, now is not the time for you to be willful!

He stared longingly at Ian.

"Brother Ian, is he... a very formidable opponent?"

Runti, who had come to the port with him, carefully tugged at Ian's trouser leg.

"We need to find out who it is."

Ian said softly, "However, I do think Yamato's suggestion might not be entirely unacceptable."

"Hahaha! Right?"

Yamato grinned smugly at Ian.

"Lord Ian!"

Babanuki was about to scream.

Isn't Lord Ian supposed to be the most cautious? How come he's been assimilated by Lady Yamato today?

Ian did not answer.

He has already given it a try.

First and foremost, it's clear that Whitebeard definitely didn't come.

Otherwise, the ship that would be on the sea right now would be the Moby Dick.

In other words, the leaders who came were at most high-ranking officers like Marco, Jozu, and Vista. Moreover, it was unlikely that these high-ranking officers would join forces against the relatively unknown group of people like themselves.

It's even possible that it's just a regular team leader leading the team.

The situation isn't that bad yet.

Although I don't want to fight, I have no choice but to fight now.

Without fighting, there is no way to survive.

"Lord Ian!"

Babanuki was still trying to dissuade Ian from this crazy idea, saying, "Perhaps we could seek Wang Zhi's help."

“Good idea, Babanuki,”

Ian applauded Babanuki's brilliant idea, "Go and call everyone off the ship. Perhaps Wang Zhi can at least help us out."

If Babanuki and the pirates are left on the Golden Dragon, they will undoubtedly become targets for the enemy.

The Golden Dragon was stuck in the port and couldn't escape. The Whitebeard Pirates' fleet could blast it into the sky with just a few salvos. Unlike the Thousand Sunny, this ship couldn't use jet propulsion to fly.

If we really have to fight, let's make the battlefield Beehive Island.

The key to this victory lies in protecting one's own strength while weakening the opponent's.

Upon arriving at Beehive Island, the Whitebeard Pirates would inevitably restrain themselves a bit because of Wang Zhi.

"I understand."

Babanuki dashed back to the ship and called all the crew members off.

However, just as the people on the ship were disembarking from the deck, a group of pirates arrived at the port.

The leader is Snake.

The man looked at Ian, and Ian looked back at him, glancing at the pirates behind him, each one armed and ready to fight at any moment.

Tsk.

Wang Zhi is quite the opportunist.

"Feel sorry,"

Snake said expressionlessly, "Kids, the adult amusement park has closed its doors to you. Boss Wang Zhi said it's time for you to go home."

"Oh."

Ian put his hands in his pockets. "Is that so?"

"Friendly reminder,"

Snake gestured toward Ian's back with his chin. "Your opponent has arrived."

Ian turned around and saw a blue firebird spreading its wings and flying towards them from a large ship in the distance.

The second most troublesome guy in the Whitebeard Pirates has arrived.

Good news, Whitebeard really didn't come.

Bad news, the worst of the good news.

"He will probably treat you well."

Snake gave a chilling smile. "Now, kid, get on your ship and get off this island!"

Ian turned around and said calmly, "What if I say no?"

"So,"

Snake's lips gradually curled up, finally settling into a mocking smile. "I think you might need a little help."

2024-06-04

The atmosphere at the port instantly became tense.

Snake and Ian simply stared at each other, the air between them practically frozen.

However, not far away, the pirates watching the spectacle were red-faced with excitement.

Stop staring at each other!

This is boring! Let's see a river of blood already!

The Beasts Pirates, the Wang Zhi Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates—this is going to be the ultimate climactic battle! Even our jobs are about to be pulled out!

"Ian! Beat this guy up!"

Yamato pulled out his spiked club, his face turning red with anger. "I'm definitely going to beat this guy to a pulp!"

“Ian,”

However, Black Maria turned back with a worried look at the blue firebird that was already very close, "That's Marco the Phoenix!"

The second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and a great pirate whose name resounds throughout the world!

Dealing with guys like that is already a headache enough; if they were to fight the Wang Zhi Pirates, things wouldn't be going to turn out so badly.

"If you understand, then get lost!"

Snake took a step forward, and in the next instant, his body suddenly expanded, transforming into a giant python. His head, as large as a small house, looked down at Ian and the others, and his huge tail slapped the ground, causing the entire port to tremble.

To protect Babanuki and his friends, they need to get them to Beehive Island.

To get Babanuki and his group to land on Beehive Island, Ian looked up at the head of the giant python.

"You're in the way."

Ian said.

“The more troublesome one has arrived.”

Snake just sneered.

"It's you guys, isn't it?"

The blue firebird had flown over the port. It looked to be about the size of a person, and was incomparable to Snake, who was over 100 meters long. It even had a pair of glasses-like decorations around its eyes, which seemed somewhat ridiculous.

However, no one in the entire port could laugh out loud in front of this man.

Simply because he is Marco, the phoenix Marco!

He looked down at Ian and Yamato on the dock. "You're the ones who killed Squard and kidnapped Momonosuke, aren't you?"

Ian looked up at Marco.

It's absolutely gorgeous!

Its tail had three long tail feathers trailing behind it, and a tuft of yellow flames burned fiercely on its head.

"Come back with me, Dad wants to see you."

Marco flapped his wings to descend, "Everyone on this ocean knows what the price will be for attacking our companions."

"Marco! I've ordered these brats to get out of here right now!"

Snake stretched his neck, his scarlet forked tongue sticking out of his mouth. "Hive Island isn't a place you can mess around in! If you want to fight, fight at sea!"

"rest assured,"

Marco's tone was somewhat languid, "It won't take up too much of your time."

He's already logged in; dealing with these brats will only take a moment.
