Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

The Five Elders actually know Bai Long's real name?!

Who exactly is this White Dragon?

Crocodile asked, seemingly without changing his expression.

"Who is Ian Adrian?"

"That's that 'White Dragon' thing! Humph!"

Nasujiro Sei gave a rather displeased snort.

"A brat from the Navy actually has such a title, the same title as an admiral... How ridiculous!"

"navy?"

Crocodile was once again deeply shaken.

"Is Haku a Marine?"

"He is the biggest stain on the Navy!"

Nasujiro Sei was clearly unwilling to talk too much about the "White Dragon".

After all, in his view, if "White Dragon" hadn't defected, the Navy might have gained another admiral.

By then, the government's rule will be more secure, but unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now...

Slaughter the endless hell, escape Impel Down, and plunder naval warships.

Ian Adrian is absolutely lawless!

The Navy's biggest stain?

Crocodile realized something.

Haku must have committed some wrongdoing, which is why he left the Navy—or perhaps defected?

The fact that Bai Long's story reached the ears of the Five Elders means that this guy has committed some serious offense...

Just as Crocodile was deep in thought, Nasujiro continued to ask questions.

Is that guy still in Alabasta?

Crocodile snapped out of his daze and responded coldly.

"No comment!"

"Sand crocodile!"

Nassuro Sei raised his voice again.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea have an obligation to cooperate with the government's actions!"

"Humph!"

Crocodile ignored Nassuro's warning.

"Since the World Government has such well-connected intelligence channels, you can go and gather intelligence yourselves!"

pat!

After Crocodile finished speaking, he immediately hung up the Den Den Mushi.

"White Dragon? Navy? Huh?"

Crocodile stared at Ian, as if wanting an explanation.

"Who doesn't have a past they'd rather forget?"

Ian shrugged and then suddenly changed the subject.

"For example, I had a friend before whose name was—Ambrio Ivankov."

"The King of Ivankov is a very honest person. He told me that there's a veteran Shichibukai here—"

Upon hearing the name of the Okama King, Crocodile sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

Before Ian could finish speaking, he forcefully interrupted him with a dark expression.

"enough!"

There's absolutely no way Haku could be a Marine!

The Five Elders are right!

This guy is just a stain!

……

Pangu City, a place of power struggles.

The five elders gathered together.

Nasujuro Sei dropped the Den Den Mushi he was holding and then picked up the famous sword beside him.

"What a pity, it seems the Sand Crocodile didn't die at the hands of the White Dragon..."

"It's weird..."

With a scythe-like beard and a scar on his forehead, the World Government's God of Law and War—Topman Vochuli—said in bewilderment.

"Judging from what White Dragon did in Infinite Hell, Sand Crocodile should be dead for sure."

"Why did White Dragon kill so many pirates in Infinite Hell, but spare Crocodile after leaving Impel Down?"

"The actions of pirates are always unpredictable."

The world government's agricultural war god, Shepard X. Pitt Saint, with his blond hair, shook his head.

"Perhaps after leaving Impel Down, White Dragon had other ideas and wanted to recruit subordinates and build up his own power..."

"Recruit the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"This is what Marcus Mazs, the World Government's Environmental War God with a goatee, said."

"That's quite a bold speculation."

"Compared to these, I am more concerned about why the White Dragon appeared directly in Alabasta."

"Wearing a black hat, with white hair and a white beard, the World Government's God of Scientific Defense—Jaygorusia Satan—reminded me."

"He was in Impel Down, which is almost half a world away from Alabasta!"

"The white dragon can fly..."

"Makkas Mazsan said calmly."

"Although I don't know why the Clay Fruit can make you fly, it's clear that Haku has a knack for developing his Devil Fruit abilities..."

"Hmph! [Clay-Clay Fruit]..."

Topman Vochuli Saint snorted disdainfully, like a wild boar snorting.

"Even if it's developed to a high level, what good will it do?"

Nasujiro spoke up at the opportune moment.

"At least enough to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, isn't that more than enough?"

Upon hearing this, a soft chuckle rippled through the room of power.

"That's true. Based on the strength that White Dragon displayed 270 years ago, his Clay Fruit has already fully awakened..."

"An awakened Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, more than enough to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

"Wasn't the original purpose of establishing the Seven Warlords of the Sea to divide the increasingly large pirate group...?"

"Since Haku enjoys dealing with pirates so much, let him continue doing that..."

"Unfortunately, the sand crocodile didn't die..."

"But given Haku's personality, he'll probably approach the other Seven Warlords of the Sea soon, right?"

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea aren't exactly obedient, so having a newcomer replace them can serve as a warning..."

"Letting a 'blemish' who has left the naval system serve as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea can also serve as a warning to the naval forces..."

"Let the Navy set a bounty for Ian Adrian first..."

……

The contents of the Five Elders' private meetings are unknown to the outside world.

However, news of the Shichibukai's crushing defeat quickly spread like wildfire.

The day after the Baroque Gustav returned to Alabasta.

The World Economic Daily's newspaper was then sent to every corner of the world.

Front page headline —

Heroic Defeat! The Strongest Rookie Pirate in History!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Ian looked at the newspaper in his hand and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"This news headline is really good."

"Anyone who doesn't know the truth would think that I beat up that 'hero' from the Navy..."

"Humph!"

The Alabasta hero standing nearby let out a disdainful snort.

"The strength of Hero Garp is beyond your imagination!"

"Old Sha."

Ian put down his newspaper and looked at Crocodile with a puzzled expression.

"Do you have some strange illness? It's called the 'Unimaginable Disease'!"

Crocodile was mocked, and his face turned ashen.

"Alright, that's enough for now. I'm going to find my next 'collaborator'."

With a casual wave of his hand, Ian conjured a blue-eyed white dragon and took Robin soaring into the sky.

set off.

Banaro Island.

Chapter 87 You think you're worthy of being an undercover agent?

Compared to a small garden.

Banaro Island is even further away from Alabasta.

However, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's flight speed far exceeded that of the Baroque Gustav.

This time, it only took half a day for the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to reach the waters near Banaro Island.

Looking down from above, Banaro Island is covered with huge but scattered banana rocks, just giant rock pillars reaching into the sky.

As the Blue-Eyes White Dragon slowly descended, Robin raised his hand and stroked its scales, praising it from the bottom of his heart.

"What an enviable ability... It is said that there are only five types of flight abilities in the world."

"It's fake, don't believe it."

Ian replied casually.

"Your Flower-Flower Fruit has potential; if developed properly, you can fly—or at least glide."

Robin's eyes lit up immediately.

"Is it really possible?"

“At least I think it’s fine. There’s a ‘vegetative state’ person who can fly by growing flowers on his head.”

Ian glanced at Robin, raised his right hand, pinched a "bamboo dragonfly," and handed it to him.

"In comparison, I think it's even stranger that you've developed the Flower-Flower Fruit into the Arm Fruit."

Robin took the "clay bamboo dragonfly" and played with it in his hands.
