Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Chapter 77 Paradise, Alabasta

Ian was enveloped in a cute-looking "bear paw-shaped cloud of air" and quickly flew away from the ground, heading towards the sky.

The chapel where Big Bear and Bonnie lived, and the island where the Kingdom of Sorbe was located, were both left behind.

Ian sat in the "bear paw cloud" and turned his head to look at the South China Sea island behind him, which quickly turned into a small black dot.

He traveled to Alabasta alone this time.

He temporarily entrusted Kidd and Killer, whom he "picked up" on Belfast Island, to Kuma.

Ian also handed over the large amount of money and supplies he had just obtained from the Navy Headquarters through the "warship transaction" to Kuma.

Since Vegapunk believes that Germa 66's Vinsmoke Judge has the ability to heal "Jade Scales".

So Ian and Big Bear tentatively concluded that Vinsmoke Judge could indeed cure Bonney's "Jade Scales".

Germa 66 is a mercenary kingdom where everything revolves around money.

Ian used all the money and supplies he obtained through the warship deal as "treatment expenses" for Bonnie.

"Hopefully that money will be enough; if not... we'll have to think of other ways."

Ian looked away; the island behind him had completely merged with the sea and disappeared from sight.

"As for this 'bear paw cloud,' its flight speed is much slower than expected..."

Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit allows him to teleport people to a designated location.

However, this teleportation speed is not the "instantaneous teleportation" or "space jump" that one might imagine.

As for Ian's personal riding experience...

He felt that Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit teleportation speed was indeed faster than the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's flight speed.

But the speed is limited.

"From the South China Sea, across the Doldrums, then through the Grand Line, finally arriving in Alabasta..."

Ian took out a simple world map from his pocket—an item he had obtained during a warship transaction.

"It has been a long journey..."

"Then, we need to speed things up!"

Ian put away the map and placed his hand on the surrounding "bear paw-shaped energy clouds".

He unleashed the power of the six-star [Momo Fruit] and added it to the "Bear Paw Aura".

【MoMo Fruit - 100x Speed】!

whoosh-

The speed of the "bear paw air mass" instantly increased to more than a hundred times its original speed.

The surrounding air was violently pushed aside by its rapid speed, and one ring-shaped air wave after another burst forth in the high sky.

That was a ring-shaped shockwave caused by the "bear paw air mass" exceeding the speed of sound and breaking the sound barrier!

"That's much faster!"

……

The Kingdom of Sorbe, a small chapel.

Kidd and Killer, watching their leader vanish in an instant—in their eyes, "vanished in an instant"—immediately turned to look at the big bear beside them.

For the first time, the two had a real sense of the strength of the tall, gentle-spoken man beside them.

To be honest.

Ian defeated the bear too quickly.

Kidd and Killer thought that Kuma was only slightly stronger than the two of them at best.

Now it seems this man is far more powerful than you might imagine...

Just that terrifying method of "disappearing in an instant" just now.

If an ordinary person saw this, they might mistakenly think that the "tyrant" liked to destroy evidence!

Kuma was unaware of the secret thoughts that Kid and Killer were harboring.

After sending Ian to Alabasta.

Big Bear turned and went back to the chapel, giving Bonnie some earnest advice, telling her to take good care of herself and not to forget to eat...

Finally, Big Bear looked at Burdog beside him.

"Buldoug, this country is in your hands..."

"Yes, King Bear."

Burdogg gripped his cane tightly and responded solemnly.

After saying this, the former king was silent for a moment before speaking hesitantly.

“That man… the man riding the white dragon is trustworthy, King Bear.”

Although there had been some disagreements between Burdog and Ian.

But everything Ian did was seen by Burdogg.

In Burdog's view, Ian was far more reliable than the revolutionary army that appeared in the Kingdom of Sorbe more than a decade ago!

The gentle, simple, and honest bear was able to stay by this man's side...

Boordoug was completely at ease.

As for that "man riding on the back of a dragon".

Burdock's opinion remains the same as before—Ian Adrian doesn't seem like a pirate!

If only all the pirates in the world could be like Ian Adrian...

“I know, Burdog.”

Big Bear smiled gently.

“Ian saved Bonnie, and I will keep my promise and stay by his side.”

Burdog didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and gently patted the bear's arm.

The old man only hoped that the second half of Da Xiong's life wouldn't be as miserable and tragic as the first half...

After giving instructions on the trivial matters, Big Bear packed his bags and went outside.

Kidd and Kira had been waiting for a long time.

Over the past few days.

Big Bear wasn't idle either.

With the help of the Revolutionary Army's intelligence network, he pinpointed the exact location of Germa 66, which was operating in the East China Sea.

"We're heading to the East China Sea now."

Kuma raised his right hand, ready to unleash the power of the Paw-Paw Fruit.

"Are you ready?"

Kidd and Kira exchanged a glance and took a step forward together.

"I'm ready!" x2

[Paw-Paw Fruit] ability activated.

Destination—East China Sea, Germa 66!

……

Paradise, Alabasta.

Flying all the way from the South China Sea, Ian crossed the doldrums and finally arrived at this super desert nation.

When it arrived in the waters near Alabasta.

Ian removed the [100x Speed] effect from the "Bear Paw Ball".

The "bear paw air mass" suddenly slowed down.

Ian and Big Bear had already agreed on the "landing location".

The "bear paw air mass" passed through the rapeseed flower port of Alabasta, crossed the boundless desert, and finally arrived at an oasis full of life.

This is the "Dream City" located in northwestern Alabasta.

It is also the location of Crocodile's headquarters.

rain.

boom!

A huge cloud of air, shaped like a bear's paw, crashed down from the sky.

A deep and huge bear paw print was left on the ground of the rainy city.

The loud roar instantly carried far and wide.

Residents living in the rain heard the sound and thought there had been a huge explosion, causing a disturbance.

"Run!"

"It's a bomb!"

"The bomb exploded!"

After the smoke and dust cleared.

Ian leaped up from the bear paw print.

He raised an eyebrow as he looked at the panicked crowd around him.

"The commotion caused by this landing is greater than I expected! But that suits me just fine!"

Ian carefully selected the last one from "Banaro Island", "Kraigana Island", and "Alabasta".

His original intention was to first meet Crocodile.

Information about the sand crocodile flashed through Ian's mind.

"Years ago, Crocodile somehow obtained information about the most evil warship, Hades, one of the three ancient weapons."

"The information Crocodile had was inaccurate. He did not go to Wano Country, where [Pluto] was truly hidden, but instead came to Alabasta!"

"In Alabasta, Crocodile, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, constantly hunts pirates in the surrounding waters and is often referred to as a 'hero' by the newspapers."

"How interesting, there are 'heroes' among pirates!"

once Upon a time.

Ian also believes that "hero" is a very prestigious title on this sea.

Until a certain anonymous "200x Effort King" also became a "Naval Hero"...

Tsk!

Ian banished some unpleasant memories from his mind.

He looked around.

After the riots that just happened.

There were hardly any people to be seen on the streets in the rain.

Ian had hoped that some senior executives from Baroque Works would come to the scene to handle the riot.

But the deserted streets told him...

Nobody came.

"If the people from Baroque Works aren't coming, then I'll have to go find them myself!"

With a thought, the ground beneath Ian's feet instantly turned into clay.

A blue-eyed white dragon leaped from the earth, carrying him into the sky.
