Two Years Later, the Op-Op Fruit Surfaces

The Sun Pirates left immediately.

They didn't even attend the welcome party that Ian had mentioned.

Fisher Tiger simply wanted to get back to Fish-Man Island as quickly as possible.

Ian didn't stop them, but simply asked Jack to send the Sun Pirates away on his behalf.

Fisher Tiger's attitude has changed drastically since he arrived last night, so it's not a bad thing for him to return to Fish-Man Island sooner.

Standing on the dock, gazing at the ship that had sent the Sun Pirates away, Ian stretched contentedly.

In that case, the wave of immigration to Fish-Man Island would be unstoppable.

As for what I mentioned last night, that other forces in the world are also vying to win over Fish-Man Island...

Theoretically, that should be the case, but in reality, it's not.

First of all, the World Government would never do such a thing.

The World Government holds a strange contempt for Fish-Man Island, always regarding them as fish.

How could they possibly recruit Fish-Man?

Even if they are recruited, the uncontrollable Celestial Dragons will surely give the Fish-Man one huge surprise after another.

Then, the only forces qualified to protect the Fish-Man were a few pirate crews in the New World.

Whitebeard was the protector of Fish-Man Island and had no fixed abode, so they passed on him first.

Ochoku's strength is far inferior, and Hachinosu Island has no barriers whatsoever, making it utterly uncompetitive.

Charlotte Linlin's Whole Cake Island could rival Wano Country, since that country is actually quite safe, and ordinary pirates simply can't get in.

Regardless, the Beasts Pirates will remain Fish-Man Island's most trusted allies from now on.

It would be even better if the Sun Pirates could stay in the New World.

Jinbe is a future Shichibukai, and his fighting power in the sea is unmatched in the world; he is an absolutely formidable force.

As for Fisher Tiger's problem, the solution is actually quite simple.

Isn't the World Government determined to eliminate him no matter what?

Why not just let Fisher Tiger die once?

There are countless ways to fake his death.

Then they could openly and legitimately bring the Sun Pirates under their command.

It remains to be seen what they will choose.

"Have Mr. Fisher Tiger and the others already left?"

Hancock appeared at the dock with her two sisters.

"I've already thanked you on your behalf."

Ian said, "Fisher Tiger said, 'You should all live well.'"

Upon hearing this, all three Hancock sisters were deeply moved.

The two younger sisters had tears in their eyes.

What an amazing man, Fisher Tiger.

Ian sighed once again.

Then, someone arrived late.

"Huh? Fisher Tiger?"

"The Sun Pirates? Who are they?"

Yamato looked completely bewildered.

This guy went to bed too early last night and got up too early this morning, but he spent his time exercising and had no idea what had happened.

In any case, the Sun Pirates ' visit should have been satisfactory for both sides.

Apart from.

"How is Arlong?"

On the Sun Pirates ' ship, which had already left Wano Country, Fisher Tiger looked at his little brother lying on the hospital bed wrapped in thick bandages and asked him with great concern.

Beside him, the ship's doctor Aladdin, shook his head. "He has fractures all over his body, and more importantly, his brain has suffered severe damage. I'm afraid he won't be able to be a pirate anymore."

Fisher Tiger clenched his fist.

But who can be blamed for this?

Is it Ian's fault, or the Beasts Pirates?

At the time, the Beasts Pirates didn't know who they were and treated them as invaders.

It was already incredibly lenient of them to show them leniency afterward.

Moreover, Arlong's current injuries are entirely his own doing. He noticed something was wrong with the giant beast and warned him to be careful, but Ah Long still stubbornly charged forward.

However, as the captain, he should be responsible for the crew.

"Let's send him back to Fish-Man Island to recuperate."

Fisher Tiger Road.

"Then, Brother Tai,"

Jinbe then spoke up, "The matter Ian asked you to discuss?"

Fisher Tiger paused for a moment, then solemnly said, "I will truthfully describe to my compatriots what we saw in Wano Country."

Jinbe nodded slightly.

This means that Brother Tai is supporting Ian's position.

He actually thought it was a good thing that his compatriots immigrated to Wano Country.

The Beasts Pirates are powerful and capable of protecting their comrades.

Furthermore, Wano Country's terrain is quite unique, so there's no need to worry about human traffickers infiltrating.

I just feel a little sorry Pops Whitebeard.

The Whitebeard Pirates have protected Fish-Man Island since the early days of the Great Pirate Era, but now Fish-Man Island is about to go to war with its enemies and has been cooperating closely with immigrants.

Will Pops Whitebeard have any objections?

Jinbe, who held the ideals of benevolence and righteousness in his heart, felt somewhat uneasy and ashamed.

Time passed slowly.

The Sun Pirates returned to Fish-Man Island in no time.

Fisher Tiger secretly met with the Neptune again.

Then, he quietly returned to Fish-Man District.

Shortly afterward, Fisher Tiger's words began to circulate in the shadows on Fish-Man Island.

He said that the people who migrated to Wano Country are living very well, Beasts Pirates treat them very well. People who want to live on the sea can consider going to Wano Country.

The inhabitants of Fish-Man Island were all aware of Fisher Tiger's current predicament, so they tacitly avoided mentioning it to the humans on the island.

However, one thing is certain: Fisher Tiger's attitude had a huge impact on the residents of Fish-Man Island.

Shortly afterward, Ian received a call from Neptune and his wife, informing him that more Fish-Man Island residents wanted to immigrate to Wano Country, and even in Fish-Man District, a large number of restless Fish-Man wanted to join the Beasts Pirates and become members of the Fish-Man Unit.

Around the same time.

The New World, Dressrosa.

King Riku stood on the harbor, watching a ship slowly approach.

"Fufufufu!"

Before the person even appeared, a strange laugh had already echoed across the harbor.

"King Riku!"

A man with blond hair styled spiky with copious amounts of hair wax, dressed in a red suit and draped in a pink feather cloak, swaggered off the ship. He strode almost arrogantly toward King Riku, completely ignoring Kyros, who stood beside King Riku, his eyes blazing with fury and ready to draw his sword.

"Although I would like to say that you should return my property to me,"

Doflamingo sighed regretfully, "But unfortunately, I'm someone who respects my friends a lot."

King Riku took a step back, frowning slightly as he looked at the man before him. "Doflamingo, what exactly do you want?"

Is this man truly a descendant of the Donquixote Family, who have now become Celestial Dragons?

But why is he here, and even a pirate?

"Didn't I already say that?"

Doflamingo sneered, "I'm here to protect Dressrosa."

He leaned down and sneered in King Riku's ear, "You should thank your pirate daughter properly, King Riku."

King Riku was taken aback.

Violet?

Is he talking about Violet?

Did Violet do something?

He was puzzled.

Marine Headquarters.

Admiral Sengoku was also paying attention to what was happening in Dressrosa.

Holding the intelligence that the Donquixote Family had already moved into Dressrosa, the pillar of the navy, who had supported the navy for decades, showed a sorrowful expression.

"Rosinante, don't worry, I'll definitely get something on Doflamingo."

Even Marine Admiral cannot attack the Shichibukai, who are legitimate pirates under the government's control. Rather, it is precisely because they are Marine Admiral that they cannot take action against the Shichibukai.

Time never stops for people's nostalgia, and the winds of the times continue to blow.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The current time is the second half of the year 1511 in the Sea Circle Calendar.

Ian is fifteen years old this year.

An island in the New World.

A sharp, explosive sound suddenly rang out in the sky.

The pirates on the shore looked up in alarm.

A flock of jet-black Iron Bird lined up in the air, swooping down like geese flying south.

"Take cover! Take cover now! It's the Beasts Pirates ' bombers!"

"How could they have come so fast! Damn it! Where can we hide now?"

"Shoot them down!"

"Are you kidding me? They're flying thousands of meters in the air! How can we fight them?!"

Before the noisy pirates could even come up with a reason, a hail of bombs began raining down from the Iron Bird in the sky.

Amidst the howling wind, the pirates were already in despair.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

In the blink of an eye, the coastline was transformed into a sea of fire, and countless pirates perished within its depths.

Of course, there were also lucky ones who managed to escape the coast by boat in the chaos.

But before these lucky souls could even rejoice for a few seconds, their ships began to shake violently. A massive explosion occurred below, shattering their keels and causing the ships to crumble.

The terrified pirates looked down into the sea.

Huge shadows swam in the sea, and human figures surrounded these shadows.

Fear exploded on the pirates' faces.

"It's the Fish-Man Unit! Damn it! The torpedoes mounted on the Sea Beast are incredibly powerful!"

"Don't fall into the water! Those vile Fish-Man won't let us get away with this!"

The advice is to avoid falling into the water, but when a ship begins to sink, who can resist the Earth's gravity?

In the instant they plunged into the sea, the pirates finally saw what lay beneath the surface.

Giant beasts swam in the sea, each equipped with three cannons—torpedo launchers—allowing them to easily blast the hulls of ships on the surface, thus utterly destroying them.

However, right now, the greatest threat to the pirates who have fallen into the sea is the Fish-Man who surround the Sea Beast.

The Fish-Man held launchers in their hands, firing out long, slender harpoons. Although the range wasn't very long because they were in the sea, it was still deadly enough for the pirates at this point.

In the blink of an eye, the sea was stained red with blood.

A little while later, on the already ravaged coastline, the surviving pirates didn't even have time to feel a sense of relief at surviving the disaster before they spotted the large ship rapidly approaching on the distant sea.

An unprecedented despair appeared on the faces of the pirates.

"It's the Golden Flying Dragon! He's here! He's here!!"

The pirates lost all will to resist and turned to flee.

But at the same time.

On the deck of the Golden Flying Dragon.

A series of catapult-like devices were ready, and the ammunition for these catapults consisted of several enormous monsters.

"Emission!"

With a command from one of the pirates, the catapults were launched, and the giant beasts instantly soared into the sky, tracing a beautiful parabola before crashing onto the island, landing precisely in front of the fleeing pirates.

"Roar!!"

The pain from the high-speed fall caused the giant beasts to roar in fury.

The roar alone was enough to bring a fierce wind.

"Yes, it's the Beasts Pirates ' Beast Army!!"

The pirates screamed at the top of their lungs.

At this moment, four ferocious beasts appeared before the pirates: a Masira, a crocodile, a tiger, and a lion.

Roaring, the giant beasts launched an attack on the pirates.

In an instant, corpses littered the field.

The Golden Flying Dragon slowly docked at the shore, and Ian stepped onto the island.

Fifteen-year-old Ian has completely shed his childishness, possessing only the handsome features and vigor of a young man.

He was already over 2.2 meters tall, but he didn't look bulky at all. He had a slender figure, broad shoulders and a slim waist, and his proportions were perfect. The black trench coat he was wearing looked absolutely perfect on him.

Stepping onto the still-scorching ground from the bombing, Ian looked around.

The battle was basically over, and the pirates on the Golden Flying Dragon disembarked to clean up the battlefield, count their spoils, and appease the few beasts that hadn't yet had their fill of slaughter.

Overhead, bombers circled the battlefield, searching for potential surviving targets.

"In that case, the Wang Zhi Pirates ' Third Fleet will be completely wiped out."

Behind Ian, Luo spoke calmly, "That guy's probably furious."

"He should have known this would happen the moment he stood in our way."

Ian said calmly.

"Die, Ian of the Scorched Sky!!"

Amidst the pile of corpses, several pirates suddenly sprang into action, simultaneously heading towards Ian.

Ian remembered them.

They are officers of the Wang Zhi Pirates, the guys who command this fleet.

but.

"Perfume Femur!"

A figure shot over and kicked two of Wang Zhi Pirates members into flying stones.

Even faster than her was a white figure.

"Divine Foot - White Snake Drive!"

A white shadow swept past, freezing the pirates into ice sculptures before smashing them to pieces with a single blow.

"What are you doing!"

Carrying a spiked club, fifteen-year-old Yamato arrived angrily, "I could have done it all by myself!"

"You're just getting in the way!"

Standing proudly, 18-year-old Hancock showed no weakness.

More than two years have passed, and both of them have grown a lot.

Yamato, in particular, has completely transformed from a girl into a young woman. She is tall and has exquisite features, and has completely lost any trace of the snotty-nosed little brat she used to be.

Hancock has matured a lot, in every way.

However, in terms of personality, neither of them changed much; they remained at odds.

Ian, not wanting to get involved in their conflict, simply turned to Luo and said, "That's enough, let's head back."

His indifference made Hancock's eyes light up instantly. "Oh! Even the aloof Ian is so handsome!"

Yamato shuddered. "You're disgusting!"

Luo had already ignored their argument. At thirteen years old, a true teenager, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is this how it ends?"

"Hachinosu Island is just ahead."

Ian said, "There's no need to go this far. Of course, if Ochoku wants a decisive battle, then I'm happy to oblige."

Luo nodded slightly.

A lot has really happened in the last two years.

At the same time.

North Blue.

The fallen navy, Dias Barrels, has just experienced a fierce naval battle, but fortunately he emerged victorious.

While he was taking stock of his spoils, he suddenly noticed something.

It was a fruit, a peach-colored, heart-shaped fruit, decorated with spiral patterns!

"This is!"

Having once served in the Navy, he knew the name of this fruit.

"Op-Op Fruit!!"
