Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

This remained largely unchanged even after they set sail...

What Ace didn't expect was...

He had thought he was the only exception in the entire ocean.

I never imagined that one day I would encounter so many "like-minded" people.

So what if he's the son of the Pirate King?

Compared to the members of the Bakania tribe?

As long as a member of this race is alive, they will be defined as an enemy of the World Government!

Compared to the Demon Child of Ohara?

Archaeologists who have inherited the knowledge of Ohara are undoubtedly also targets that the World Government must eliminate!

this moment.

Ace truly experienced what it felt like to be part of a group.

　This feeling of complete spiritual resonance is something that neither Dadan's family nor Luffy's family can provide!

Ace's gaze swept over each of his companions, finally settling on Ian.

What kind of person would the "captain" be who brings together such a group of people?

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not like them."

Ian waved his hand and said seriously.

"Actually, Robin knows this too; I'm a Marine,"

navy?

Ace was startled.

Like an old man?

"Not."

Robin revealed a cunning smile at this moment.

"According to the Five Elders, our captain is the 'biggest stain on the Navy'!"

Chapter 143 The Gale Pirates are officially established!

The Navy's biggest stain?

Ian waved his hand dismissively.

"A hollow reputation, all of it is just a hollow reputation."

Okay, it seems I misunderstood.

Ace had initially thought that Ian would also have an "extraordinary" background.

After all, just look at the group of people he gathered—a "tyrant," a "son of the devil," a "son of the Pirate King"...

Could someone who can gather such a group of people be an ordinary person?

What Ace didn't expect was that Ian was indeed no ordinary person; he had been a Marine...

This identity as a "naval officer" reminded Ace of his grandfather, Garp.

To be honest, Ace always felt that Garp, that old man, didn't seem like a proper Marine.

Where can I find a Marine hero who can adopt the son of the Pirate King?

Ace snapped out of his thoughts. He didn't say much, but simply raised his glass and toasted Ian.

After such a "self-destruction drama" orchestrated by Ace.

The banquet atmosphere reached its climax.

Sharing secrets with each other is undoubtedly a good way to quickly bridge the gap between people.

A lively banquet, a dramatic confession.

What was initially a somewhat unfamiliar relationship quickly became close.

at this moment.

Ian stood up and raised his glass to everyone.

His actions drew the attention of everyone present.

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses together.

Ian's gaze swept over the figures.

From the two brothers, Kidd and Killer, whom he initially found by chance on the island of Belfast in the South China Sea;

Then came Bartholomew the Bear, personally recruited by the Kingdom of Sorbet, and his "daughter" Joelle Bonney;

Then, in Alabasta, he had a chance encounter with Nico Robin, whom Aokiji forcibly entrusted with his life.

Finally, there's Nami and Portgas D. Ace, whom they gathered after arriving at the 300th Blue...

"From this moment on..."

Ian raised his glass high.

Everyone else raised their glasses as well.

Eight wine glasses collided in mid-air.

"We're all in the same boat now!"

Ian introduced himself solemnly.

"I am the captain, Ian Adrian!"

"Kidd/Kira!"

"Big Bear/Bonnie!"

"Robin/Nami!"

"...Ace!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank heartily.

Ace, who originally only planned to follow Ian for a while, has now finally boarded the "pirate ship" for good.

After everyone finished their drinks, they all looked at Ian.

"Boss/Lord White Dragon/Ian/Adrian..."

The somewhat disorganized names were eventually unified into one—

"captain!"

"Although we don't have a group name, a flag, or a ship yet..."

Ian raised his glass and laughed heartily.

"But we have companions, we have a base, and our pirate crew is officially established!"

Ace, Kid, and Killer, the three male members who had always dreamed of going to sea and becoming pirates, immediately erupted in thunderous cheers.

Unaware of what was going on, Bonnie imitated the three of them, holding her cup and laughing heartily, which drew frequent glances from Big Bear.

Nami, the little thief who considers herself the most loyal subordinate of Lord Haku, also joined in the cheers and celebrations.

Only Robin remained calm; she simply asked one question.

"Captain, what's the name of our pirate crew?"

The topic of "naming" has undoubtedly sparked a heated discussion.

"The Kid Pirates!"

Eustace Kidd was the first to respond to the topic (bjff).

"Before I even set sail, I had already thought about what to name my pirate crew!"

"We must name the pirate crew after ourselves!"

"Because the Pirate King's pirate crew is named after him!"

Kira completely agreed with what Kidd said.

However, the son of the Pirate King was very unhappy.

"Using your own name to name your pirate crew is a bit too old-fashioned, isn't it?"

Ace found a group of "kindred spirits" who had the same experiences as him, and he became much more straightforward in his speech.

"If you ask me, our pirate crew could be called the Spade Pirates!"

"Tch! What Spade Pirates! That's such a pathetic name!"

Kidd scoffed at Ace's words and gave a cold snort.

"If we're going to name a pirate crew after playing cards, why not call it the Ace Pirates? Or the 'JOKER' Pirates?"

"There is a Shichibukai on the high seas who is the same as our captain, Donquixote Doflamingo. Among his many nicknames is 'JOKER,' which is what the underworld calls him."

Robin, resting his chin on his hand, answered slowly and deliberately.

"So, in that case, the 'JOKER Pirates' isn't quite right..."

"If it were up to me, I would prefer the 'Flower Pirates' or the 'Flower Field Pirates'."

"Using the enemy's blood to irrigate the soil will surely make it fertile, and the flowers will become more and more beautiful."

Bonnie's still here!

Big Bear nervously covered his daughter's ears, but he didn't offer any objections.

"Don't say such terrible things, Robin!"

"I originally thought 'Hanada Pirates' was a great name..."

Nami mustered her courage and joined the discussion.

"Everyone, what do you think of the 'Money Pirates' or the 'Belley Pirates'?"

"We become pirates to plunder treasure! To collect all the treasures in the world!"

A group of people were talking at once, each with their own opinions and reasons.

In the end, even Bonnie couldn't help but join in the conversation, shouting loudly while holding food.

"The Bonney Pirates! The Bonney Pirates!"

Ian rubbed his temples; he knew this topic would definitely spark a lot of discussion.

but.

"I've already thought about the name of the pirate crew, as well as its flag!"

Ian clapped his hands to quiet everyone down, and then made the announcement.

"The Gale Pirates!"

"That's a pirate flag!"

With a wave of his right hand, Ian unleashed the power of the Clay-Clay Fruit.

On the land not far away.

A wall of pure black clay appeared instantly.

A relief of a solitary, three-headed white dragon follows closely behind.

From a distance, it looks like a black pirate flag with a pure white three-headed dragon branded on it.

The Gale Pirates.

A black flag with a white dragon.

Seeing that Ian was so well prepared, the other crew members had no objections.

The name and flag of the 【Wind Pirates】were thus finalized.
