Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

The Lizard King can no longer rise again.

[Diamond Chest: Hanafda, the Lizard King]

【Treasure Chest Rating: ★★★★★★】

The other pirates on Banaro Island were shocked to see Hanafda so easily defeated by "White Dragon".

(Zhao's) treacherous pirate immediately turned tail and ran.

Ian had no intention of personally hunting down these henchmen.

The "giant waves of clay" surged and swept across the land.

All the pirates on Banaro Island were immediately engulfed in the clay, and none of them survived.

After clearing away all living creatures on Banaro Island, Ian then controlled the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to slowly land.

"Time to get to work, Robin."

Ian waved his hand, creating a group of clay giants that were beginning to take on human form, and gave orders to his new subordinates.

"Go and take stock of the Lizard King's assets, focusing on the Devil Fruits."

'Kawaii...'

As Robin looked at the group of abstractly shaped clay giants around him, a thought involuntarily flashed through his mind.

But on the surface, she responded seriously.

"Yes, boss."

Robin, leading a group of clay giants, headed straight for the lair of Hanafda, the Lizard King.

But not long after, she returned with something on her serious face.

It was a black pirate flag.

Amidst eight intersecting white bones, a terrifying skull with enormous horns stands.

"Boss, I have to tell you some bad news..."

Robin held up the pirate flag in his hand and said solemnly.

"This is what I found in the treasure room in Hanafda..."

"The flag of the Beasts Pirates!"

"The Beasts Pirates' flag?"

Ian repeated Robin's words, then looked strangely at the still unconscious Lizard King beside him.

"You mean, this little lizard might be from the Beasts Pirates..."

"An undercover agent?"

Chapter 88 Admiral Aokiji, what do you take pirates for?!

In this world, you need both ability and connections.

Ian took the Beasts Pirates flag from Robin, examined it for a moment, then casually crumpled it into a ball and threw it away.

What kind of little lizard is this, doing the same work as me!

Whether Hanafuda is a spy for the Beasts Pirates is still not entirely certain.

However, it is an undeniable fact that the Beasts Pirates' flag was hidden in the other party's secret room.

Take a thousand steps back.

Even if this "Lizard King" is not a member of the Beasts Pirates.

Hanafda has at least a close relationship with the Beasts Pirates.

After all, aside from a very few extremely die-hard fans.

What legitimate pirate would hang another pirate crew's flag in their own lair?

When Robin saw Ian casually discard the Beasts Pirates' flag, her eyelids twitched involuntarily.

However, that is the banner of one of the Four Emperors!

Is it really okay to do this?

Robin really wanted to ask Ian that question.

The legends of the Pirate Emperors are familiar to most pirates on the Grand Line.

In the legend.

Kaido, the governor of the Beasts Pirates, is known as "The Beasts".

He once challenged the Navy and the other Four Emperors alone, and endured over a thousand tortures and over a hundred death sentences...

But no one has ever been able to kill him!

If it weren't for the fact that Whitebeard, the "strongest man in the world," was so famous, it would be a different story.

The world also wants to bestow the title of "strongest" upon Kaido of the Beasts.

For example, titles such as "strongest in one-on-one combat", "strongest in land, sea and air", "strongest creature"...

Robin heard that Kaido of the Beasts could transform into a gigantic blue dragon—

and many more!

Azure Dragon?

White dragon?

Robin blinked, glancing at Ian and then at the blue-eyed white dragon in the sky.

The cunning archaeologist thought she understood Mr. "White Dragon's" intentions.

　270 Pirates, chasing fame and fortune...

"Your gaze is a bit strange. Is something the matter?"

Ian noticed Robin's gaze and then asked a question.

"Could other flags be hidden in Hanafda's treasure room? Whitebeard? Big Mom? Shanks?"

"It couldn't possibly be that they left behind a Celestial Dragon's Sky-Soaring Dragon Hoof banner, could it?"

"There's no idiot in the world who would like a Celestial Dragon, right?"

"If we're talking about pirates, I don't think anyone would like a Celestial Dragon..."

Robin shook her head, thought for a moment, and reported again.

"Um, I didn't find any Devil Fruits in Hanafuda's treasure vault just now."

Not a single one?

Not a single one.

Ian frowned immediately.

If it were an ordinary pirate, encountering a rare and precious treasure of the sea like a Devil Fruit...

Eating it on the spot is definitely the best choice.

The next step is to find a suitable buyer and sell the Devil Fruit.

A single Devil Fruit can typically fetch 100 million Berries.

This is a huge fortune!

But Hanafda is no ordinary pirate.

First of all, Hanafda is a power user.

Secondly, Ian remembers it very clearly.

Hanafda really enjoys collecting Devil Fruits, especially Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruits!

On Banaro Island.

Aside from Hanafda, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Ian has not yet discovered any other pirates who have demonstrated Devil Fruit abilities.

So where did all the Devil Fruits Hanafda collected over the years go?

"He wouldn't have sent all the Devil Fruits to the Beasts Pirates in the New World, would he?"

When Ian considered this possibility, he suddenly felt like he had lost hundreds of millions.

He could accept that there was no money in Hanafda's treasury.

However, it is absolutely unacceptable for a "Devil Fruit collector" to have no Devil Fruits in his treasure room!

Ian unleashed his Clay-Clay Fruit power, seizing the unconscious Lizard King...

Forced "physical" power-on!

clap clap-

After a loud whipping sound.

Hanafda awoke from her coma in a daze, feeling excruciating pain all over her body, especially her face.

It was like being hit in the face by the governor's eight precepts...

"Hanafda!"

Ian's voice reached the Lizard King's ears clearly.

"What about the devil fruit?"

"The two ancient species I just acquired were sent to the New World a few days ago..."

Hanafda, who was not yet fully awake, subconsciously wanted to report the news, but he suddenly came to his senses.

"Wait! You're Haku! Not Lord Kaido!?"

"Kaido? My lord?"

Ian manipulated the clay to bring Hanafda, who had not yet regained his mobility, to him.

"Are you one of Kaido's men?"

"That's right!"

Hanafda knew he was no match for the White Dragon, and at this moment he could only hope to intimidate the other party by using the governor's name.

At least don't end up like the sand crocodile, getting killed outright by the white dragon...

"Behind me is not some World Government, but the Pirate Emperor who reigns supreme in the New World! Lord Kaido!"

"I ask you."

Ian went straight to the heart of the matter.

"Have you sent all the Devil Fruits you've collected over the years to Wano Country?"

"Yes."

Hanafda recounted the details with great familiarity.

"Ancient varieties of mammoth fruit and ancient wolf spider fruit."

"And there are also the Dragon-Dragon Fruits that Lord Kaido loves most: the Triceratops Fruit, the Pachycephalosaurus Fruit, and the Spinosaurus Fruit..."

Good guy!

Is the governor of the Beasts Pirates Kaido or you?

These five or six Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits are almost enough to support half of the Beasts Pirates' elite force!

Ian doesn't care about Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits.

Aside from mythical beasts.

The rest of the Zoan-type Devil Fruits are trash in his eyes!

but……
