Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

"Just ask!"

As Elsa said this, she didn't look at Ian, but stared at the exquisite little blue-eyed white dragon clay doll.

Ian smiled and then asked.

"Your ability is called 'Mental Control' on Skypiea and 'Observation Haki' on the high seas."

"Yes! That's right! Wapa also said I know 'Mind Control'!"

"Is this a skill you've had since you were a child?"

"Yes, I've been able to hear other people's voices since I was a child."

“A talent I was born with… Besides hearing ‘sounds’, what other abilities do I have?”

"what?"

Aisha blinked, finally looking away from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and looked at Ian with a puzzled expression.

"What did you say? I don't understand."

"how to say?"

Ian thought for a moment and then spoke slowly.

"As far as I know, people with 'natural Observation Haki' are extremely, extremely, extremely rare on this ocean."

"Generally speaking, people with 'natural Observation Haki' will hear many different things."

"For example, people's thoughts."

Patrick Redfield, the Lone Red, is a super strong fighter who possesses "natural Observation Haki" and has fully utilized his talent.

Patrick Redfield's innate Observation Haki includes the ability to read minds!

This is why he is called "the solitary red".

Possessing the ability to read minds and having witnessed the wickedness of the world, the aloof Red never trusts anyone.

Also.

Queen Otohime of Fishman Island also possesses "natural Observation Haki".

However, Ian wasn't quite sure what Queen Otohime's "natural Observation Haki" ability was.

It's said that it can sense, and even influence, the emotions of other people...

As a result, even the Celestial Dragons were "brainwashed"...

In comparison.

Aisha's "natural Observation Haki" seems to be just an ordinary Observation Haki.

Aside from having a somewhat long range of perception, it doesn't seem to have any other special abilities.

"To hear what others are thinking?"

Elsa's little face scrunched up tightly.

"That sounds really weird..."

"Okay, this is my problem."

Ian smirked and shoved the clay figurine forward.

"I shouldn't have asked you such a complicated question. You can take this doll."

"Wow!"

Elsa eagerly grabbed the Blue-Eyes White Dragon clay figurine, held it high with both hands, and said with shining eyes.

"A large winged lizard!"

"...Huh? What did you say?"

Ian's face darkened instantly, and he tapped Aisha's head with his finger.

"This is not a 'big lizard'!"

"It's a dragon! A dragon!"

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon!!"

The blue-eyed white dragon, which was flying in the sky, seemed to sense the anger of the creator and immediately let out a roar.

"Roar--"

A thunderous dragon roar, capable of piercing clouds and splitting rocks, resounded across the sky island.

The Shandian warriors looked up at the sky, their expressions becoming alert and solemn.

In comparison.

Young Elsa showed no fear whatsoever.

The little girl held a clay doll in her right hand, covered her head with her left hand where she had been hit, and even had the energy to look at the blue-eyed white dragon in the sky.

"Why can it fly?"

Aisha held up the clay doll in her hand and waved it in front of Ian.

"It can't fly?"

"Why do kids have so many questions?"

Ian extended his right hand and gently tapped the clay figure of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon with his index finger.

Under his control, the blue-eyed white dragon doll instantly transformed into a nine-tailed fox doll.

"It's not a dragon anymore! And it can't fly!"

unexpectedly.

Elsa stared at the nine-tailed fox clay doll in her hand that had suddenly transformed into a fox, and tears welled up in her large eyes.

"Wow! My giant lizard!!"

The little girl's cries were absolutely heart-wrenching.

This brat is so annoying...

Several veins bulged on Ian's forehead as he looked at the group of Shandian warriors.

"Who's the parent? Take this crybaby away right now!"

"I'm not a crybaby! Waaaaah—"

Aisha ran towards the ranks of the Shandian warriors, crying as she went.

"Rachi! I don't want to talk to that jerk anymore!"

Laki, feeling sorry for Elsa, immediately hugged the little girl.

The Shandian warriors who witnessed the entire process wore distorted expressions.

It was a distorted expression, a desire to laugh but a reluctance to.

"that whoever!"

Ian looked at the leading Shandian warrior.

"I am Ian Adrian, what is your name?"

"Wapah!"

“Very good, Wapa, will you and your people accept the employment?”

"...Hire? Servant?"

"It's like I pay for it, and you do the work."

Ian stroked his chin, feeling that his offer wasn't tempting enough.

"I almost forgot that the customs and traditions of the Sky Island are different from those of the sea below."

"You guys don't seem to like money much, do you? What about the soil?"

"I'll bring up the soil, and you'll do the work."

If these words were spoken on the sea below.

Those who heard that probably wanted to throw mud at Ian's face...

However, saying these words on a sky island carries a completely different meaning.

Ian's words sounded like heavenly music to the Shandian warriors.

"really?"

The Shandian chieftain, who had just been so arrogant, immediately became docile.

"Sir! Are you really willing to share 'soil' with us?"

"Let's just say it."

Ian stomped his feet on the ground.

"This island, excluding the gold on the island, and Enel's other properties."

"How long can it employ you Shandians?"

what?

Not a few grams of soil? Not a few kilograms of soil? Not a few tons of soil?

Or is it an entire island?

Is this the island that is the homeland of the Shandians?

All the Sandia 5.5 people present were stunned.

Even Elsa, who had just been crying and making a fuss, couldn't help but turn her head to look at Ian.

That annoying guy—

No, this older brother looks so handsome...

Without any discussion, Wapa, as the leader, directly spoke the words of all the Shandians.

"My lord! The Shandians will always be your most loyal friends!"

"So……"

Ian walked toward Wapa and extended his right hand to him.

"The contract has been agreed?"

Wapa looked at Ian's outstretched right hand, somewhat at a loss.

But he still imitated the other person and gently grasped their hand.

"very good."

Ian grasped Wapa's right hand and shook it twice.

"From this moment on, this island belongs to you, and you are under my management and will work for me."

"Yes, Lord Adrian!"

Wapa could hardly contain his excitement.

The other Shandian warriors nearby couldn't help but roar with excitement.

Four hundred years!

Four hundred years have passed!

The Shandians have finally reclaimed their land!

The Golden Bell will ring once again.

From every dawn to every sunset.

"Let's have a lively banquet!"
