Dialogue with the Gorosei! He Looked Like a Dog

Sakazuki's anger flared at Ian's invitation. "Talk? What's there to talk about with mere pirates!"

A violent, domineering Haki surged wildly; anyone who didn't know better would think he Awakening his Conqueror's Haki under some kind of stimulation.

but.

"Don't move!"

Rose snorted coldly, stomping his foot so hard that Onigumo's cheekbone cracked. "Otherwise, we'll kill them!"

Even the ruthless Akainu hesitated at this moment.

Those who were captured were not just anyone, but his comrades-in-arms who had fought alongside him countless times over the years.

"You need to get one thing straight, you lava bastard,"

Ian's expression hardened. "It's not me begging you now, it's you begging me."

The Momonga turned ashen-faced and could only apologize repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Sakazuki, we've let you down."

Onigumo, however, looked somewhat grave. "Mr. Sakazuki, that's the Beasts Pirates."

The mission has already failed, and if they were to force a war with the Beasts Pirates, the losses would be substantial.

Akainu clenched his teeth.

What should I do?

Given his current physical condition, it would be difficult to defeat Ian even if he continued fighting.

Even if we win, we absolutely cannot stop him; that bastard also has a near-uninterruptible ability to Flame Incarnation.

Even if the fight continued, it wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on the Beasts Pirates.

On the contrary, the navy he brought with him is about to be completely wiped out!

Even the people on Amazon Lily were able to easily arrange their escape using the two warships they brought.

Without a doubt, this operation has already been a complete failure.

but.

Are we going to bow down to pirates now?

Are you kidding me!

Akainu suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

How could I possibly bow down to evil?

Are you kidding me!

Oh, wow.

Ian sighed in surprise.

Is that so cold-hearted?

Even at this point, they still want to keep fighting; they really don't value the lives of their subordinates.

"Since he's courting death, then kill him!"

Hancock said coldly, "He's been weakened to this extent; even he couldn't possibly defeat so many of us combined!"

That's absolutely true.

Since it's Akainu who's injured, Ian just needs to stay in his Ball Form and wear him down.

What could he do all by himself?

However, that's not how it's calculated.

If we really want to take down Akainu, it's actually quite simple; we just need to summon Rayleigh.

Given Akainu's current condition, he absolutely could not withstand a few of Rayleigh's sword strikes.

But what happens after Akainu is defeated?

"We can't do that!"

Gloriosa immediately rejected Hancock's suggestion. The former Rocks Pirates veteran shook her head, "We are seeking the safety of the nation. If we really kill this guy, there will be no turning back."

This man is a candidate for Admiral at the Marine Headquarters! He is extremely important to the Navy, or rather, to the entire World Government.

If we were to kill him, even the Beasts Pirates wouldn't be able to protect Kuja.

Or rather, the Beasts Pirates themselves are in dire straits.

"However, it's still possible to get him to negotiate with the government."

Ian's lips curled into a smile.

"Don't even think about it!"

Akainu also realized his current predicament.

He can't do anything about Ian now, and with the Kuja Pirates and Kaido's daughter on top of that, he might really be stuck here today.

Ian smiled.

Just kidding.

If we really want to capture Sakazuki, given his desperate struggle, who knows how much he'll suffer.

If Sakazuki is truly pushed to the brink, it's entirely possible that, in a burst of willpower, he might unleash a final burst of power in a last-ditch effort.

Ian didn't want the Kuja Pirates to suffer too many losses.

After all, the Kuja Pirates will soon become an affiliated pirate crew of the Beasts Pirates.

Ian was even less inclined to let Yamato take the risk.

"Really? You think I can't negotiate with the government? Hmm?"

Ian smiled and waved to Rose. "Den Den Mushi."

Rose reacted quickly, immediately tossing the Den Den Mushi to Ian.

Ian slowly dialed a number.

"Ian! What exactly do you want?!"

An angry roar immediately came from the other end of the phone.

So they really knew about what happened here?

The Navy must have reported to their superiors the moment Yamato appeared.

"Don't rush, old friend,"

Ian smiled. "Now it's my turn to question you. Why did the Navy dare to attack our Beasts Pirates ' territory?"

Don't treat me like a fool!

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Goat from CP0 was furious. "You're provoking the Navy! You're provoking the World Government!"

"It is you who are provoking the Beasts Pirates."

Ian never cared about empty talk. "I have to warn you first, old friend, the situation here is that, apart from Vice Admiral Sakazuki, the entire navy has been wiped out."

"What!"

The Goat was stunned, then exclaimed incredulously, "Are you kidding me?! How could you possibly do such a thing?!"

Don't you believe me?

Ian chuckled, walked over to the Momonga, and held the Den Den Mushi to its mouth. "Here, tell my old friend about your current situation. Remember to be honest and objective."

The Momonga just stared at Ian in astonishment.

Was he really talking to CP0?

Or was it just a random phone call to scare people?

Five seconds.

Ian looked at the silent Momonga and said, "If he still doesn't speak in five seconds, Yamato, smash that ice sculpture in your hand."

"Great!"

Yamato, of course, doesn't care either.

The Momonga suddenly jolted awake, "I'll tell you!"

Now is the perfect opportunity to ask for help!

"I am Rear Admiral Momonga! Vice Admiral Sakazuki was hit by Ian's attack and severely injured. He can't do anything to them now. Onigumo and I were captured by the Kuja Pirates, Doberman was defeated and captured by Kaido's daughter. He's right, everyone except Mr. Sakazuki has been wiped out. Even..."

He paused, glancing at Sakazuki, whose face was as black as charcoal. "Mr. Sakazuki's situation isn't much better; his injuries are too severe."

Blood is still seeping from my nostrils!

The person on the other end of the phone was stunned.

Ian raised an eyebrow. "Still don't believe me?"

So he picked up the Den Den Mushi again and pointed it at Akainu, "Sakazuki, say something too. Rear Admiral Momonga n't seem to be very famous; my old friend doesn't recognize him."

"If you don't answer, Yamato."

"Ready at any time!"

Yamato grinned and held up Doberman's ice sculpture.

Akainu's face turned ashen, and his body radiated an astonishing heat, even the blood flowing from his nostrils was instantly evaporated.

Filled with utter humiliation and shame, the man finally spoke, "I fell for this bastard's trap."

plot?

Ian sneered, "That punch of mine was a direct hit, you know."

Could it be that when Red-Haired Kamunagi and instantly Kid, it was also a sneak attack?

Akainu wanted to curse.

Who would have thought this guy could suddenly unleash such power?

"Vice Admiral Sakazuki!"

The Goat on the other end of the phone finally exclaimed in surprise, "How could this be!"

He simply couldn't believe it!

This is unbelievable!

Even Kaido didn't go; it was only Ian of the Scorched Sky!

"Ian, wait a minute!"

The Goat cried out anxiously, "I'll go report to my superiors!"

Then the call suddenly ended.

A deathly silence fell over the scene.

A few minutes later, the Den Den Mushi in Ian's hand started ringing frantically.

Ian raised his hand to answer the call.

The Den Den Mushi instantly changed its appearance.

He wore a Caps and had a pointed nose and a thick beard.

Ian raised an eyebrow. "This look!"

"Ian of the Scorched Sky, you have quite the nerve."

Upon hearing this voice, Sakazuki's expression changed drastically.

"The Gorosei!!"

He lost his voice.

As a candidate Admiral in the Marine Headquarters, he was certainly qualified to meet the five people who held the highest power in the world.

"The Gorosei?"

Ian chuckled. "I'm truly flattered. The world's highest authority is actually coming to negotiate with me in person?"

"Negotiation? Young man, don't take yourself too seriously."

On the other end of the phone Gorosei, Saturn, said calmly, "Threatening the government has only one consequence: destruction."

"How about we give it a try?"

Ian remained true to his principle of stirring up trouble, declaring, "We'll wipe out all the Marines here, and then the Beasts Pirates and the World Government will officially go to war!"

"It's nothing more than abandoning Wano Country and returning to a life of wandering the seas. The Roger Pirates were a thorn in your side back then, but you couldn't do anything about them, could you? We can try too. In return, we'll destroy each of our Affiliated Nation Affiliated Nation one by one!"

Wano Country is definitely not to be abandoned; the Pluton is right there.

But the Gorosei didn't know.

This is just empty talk based on a lack of information.

Saturn's tone suddenly changed, "Are you threatening me?"

Ian sneered, "You threatened me first."

The Gorosei are not only Celestial Dragons, but also political leaders.

The secret to politics lies in compromise.

Is Amazon Lily really worth sacrificing a potential Admiral and going to war with the Beasts Pirates over?

Ian believed that the Gorosei knew how to make the choice.

At that moment, Hancock stared blankly at Ian's retreating figure.

The Gorosei are the highest-ranking Celestial Dragons, right...?

"So, Gorosei, is this call going to end here?"

Ian continued, "If that's the case, we'll wipe out all the marines on the island immediately."

Who do you think I am?!

Akainu finally lost his temper, "Gorosei, ignore this bastard's nonsense! I'll take them down right now!"

"Shut up, Sakazuki! You stupid dog!"

On the other end of the phone, Saturn's rage instantly turned on Akainu, "If you could really do something like this, there wouldn't have been this call! Haven't you lost enough face already?"

"That's right, shut up, you stupid dog,"

Ian grinned, "Didn't you hear what your master said?"

Akainu's cheek muscles trembled, his teeth were almost crushed to pieces, and his fists were clenched so tightly they were practically bleeding.

"What a pitiful dog, even your owner won't help you."

Rose chimed in.

"Ian, what do you want?"

Finally, Saturn spoke.

Ian's lips curled into a smile.

Rose and Gloriosa behind them were both extremely excited.

It worked!

This boy really did it!

Akainu and the two Rear Admiral admirals' expressions changed instantly.

"My request is very simple,"

Ian said, "Amazon Lily has been the territory of our Beasts Pirates since ancient times. Now, tell the Marines to get out of here, and don't ever bother the people here again!"

"Since ancient times?"

Saturn sneered.

The Beasts Pirates haven't even been around for thirty years.

"As a reward,"

Ian added, "The Kuja Pirates will cease operations, at least saving face for you. You can say to the outside world that the Kuja Pirates have been wiped out. How about that, isn't that enough face for you?"

Rose's expression changed; she wanted to say something, but Gloriosa quickly grabbed her hand.

Saturn hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said, "Okay."

"Excellent!"

Ian smirked. "Humans are so much easier to talk to, unlike dogs, who only think about biting."

Sakazuki stared intently at Ian.

"People?"

Saturn sneered again, "At least dogs are obedient."

"Sakazuki,"

He raised his voice, "Take your men and get back to Marine Headquarters! Think about how you're going to take responsibility for this defeat!"

The call has ended.

Did you hear that?

Ian slowly put away the Den Den Mushi, looking at Sakazuki with interest. "Go back home."

Akainu remained silent, his face grim.

He just stared intently at the Onigumo and the Momonga were still being trampled.

"We'll help you get the others onto the warships at the rear,"

Ian chuckled, explaining that this was to prevent Sakazuki from resorting to desperate measures, "But you'll have to go by yourself."

Sakazuki stopped talking and walked straight into the depths of the forest.

Yamato watched his retreating figure and suddenly remarked, "He looks like a dog."

Ian emphasized, "Remove the image."

What a fine dog.

Sakazuki suddenly turned around, his eyes like those of a rabid dog, ready to devour anyone who might attack him.

"What? You still want to fight?"

Ian chuckled. "Should I make another call?"

Akainu's body trembled violently.

Finally, he turned around and continued forward, but his body was much more hunched over.

Yes, it looks even more like it now.

No, it doesn't look like that.

A dog is a dog; it won't dare do anything before its owner gives the order.

Later, on the coast behind Kuja.

Ian watched the two naval warships speed away, as if they were fleeing a disaster.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

That concludes the discussion.

"Yay!!"

Behind them, the female warriors of the Kuja Pirates were already cheering.

They finally protected their country!

Although it was with the help of others.

The Kuja Warriors, who had been cheering, all turned their heads and looked at Ian with fanatical eyes.

Um?

Ian turned around in surprise.

The next instant, he was overwhelmed by a group of women rushing towards him.

"Lord Ian!!"

The girls cheered.

It's a bit late today, but I'm still shamelessly asking for monthly votes!
