Attack! Roaring Beasts!

"I'll have to trouble you with this, Uncle Jin."

In the forest of Kuri, a clearing has been temporarily cleared out. It's a fairly open area surrounded by a fence, and the Beasts Pirates are patrolling outside.

A massive pillar stands on this open space.

It stands a full twenty meters tall and has a diameter of over ten meters. Just standing here, it already resembles a skyscraper, so massive that people can only look up at it.

Ian stood beside the massive pillar, gently stroking it with his hand. He thoroughly enjoyed the cool, tactile feel of the specially made metal.

This is the machine that produces seeds.

Judge directed the Beasts Pirates members that Ian had gathered to build the factory to house the machine.

The seeds will then be manufactured in this factory.

Then the Tontatta planted the seeds on the nearby farm and nurtured them.

The construction of the farm is of utmost importance, but Ian has other things to do right now, so he can only ask the most reliable man in the entire Beasts Pirates, the respected Uncle King.

Actually, Uncle Queen was more suited for this job. After all, although he wasn't good at researching Lineage Factor, he was still an outstanding scientist.

However, everyone knows that Queen and Judge have a huge personal grudge, and it's impossible for them to work together again. Otherwise, Uncle Queen might be killed by Mr. Judge at any time.

Leave it to me.

Uncle Jhin, who had rushed over after receiving Ian's summons, nodded slightly. "I won't let anyone near here. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will only have one fate: death."

Jin's voice was calm.

But Ian could hear the determination in his voice.

Ian knew very well that, given this man's loyalty to Teacher Kai, he would definitely treat this matter with the strictest attitude, after all, he knew very well the importance of this farm to the entire Beasts Pirates.

Keep in mind, this uncle had only just returned.

Previously, he went to G-14 base and waited for the pirate fleet to arrive and take over the entire base.

He then led his fleet to the two countries that had been expelled from the government's list, and gained their allegiance almost effortlessly.

After all, they had already lost the protection of the World Government and the Navy. If they refused the Beasts Pirates ' offer of recruitment, then destruction would be the only fate awaiting them.

After settling all these matters, Uncle Jhin returned to Onigashima.

But before he could even rest, Ian called him over.

This is the Ashes of the Inferno Disaster!

The Beasts Pirates conscience!

"But you,"

Uncle Jin glanced at Ian, "Are you sure you don't need any more support?"

"No need,"

Ian chuckled. "Anyway, the worst-case scenario is that Ochoku himself is hiding in the fleet, preparing to give me a surprise."

He paused slightly, then said calmly, "As for Ochoku, he probably doesn't need any support."

What are Ochoku's words?

Uncle Jin looked at Ian with a complicated expression.

Ochoku was once a high-ranking officer in the Rocks Pirates, and now one of the very few pirates on the high seas who can be called a legend. Among all living pirates, he is the fourth highest-ranking man in terms of bounty, with a bounty exceeding two billion. He is undoubtedly a true monster.

However, Ian said that Ochoku was nothing more than a nobody.

Jin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Ian's growth rate has indeed exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Then let's go."

Uncle Jin said, "No matter who the enemy is, we've always been there for you."

Ian's lips curled into a smile. "Of course."

Our Beasts Pirates prioritize unity.

Thus, the Golden Flying Dragon sail once again.

When they set off from Onigashima, Ulti cried and begged Ian to take them out to sea with her. Ian used his old trick, tapping the little girl on the forehead and saying, "Next time, for sure."

The Golden Flying Dragon departed Onigashima.

However, they did not go to the Port of Stealth, Port of Stealth's massive elevators could not accommodate such a behemoth Golden Flying Dragon.

But that's alright, bringing it back to the Blue Sea is actually quite easy.

As Ian soared into the sky from the cliffs near the edge of Wano Country, a brilliant golden light burst forth.

A colossal Golden Flying Dragon stretched across the sky.

More than two years later, Ian's body, after transforming into Golden Flying Dragon, had expanded again, and its length from head to tail had exceeded one hundred meters, making it a true behemoth.

Ian flapped his wings and descended, grabbing the sides of the ship with both hands. Armament Haki surged forth, instantly turning the entire ship black and hardening it completely.

Then, he gently picked up the ship.

"Just how strong is this guy?!"

On the deck, Luo felt almost no swaying. He looked up at Ian, who was holding up the large ship, and couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

The Golden Flying Dragon was ridiculously large, several times longer than Ian at that time.

Its weight is naturally astronomical.

However, when Ian picked it up, it felt like he was picking up a small clump of cotton.

Luo could even sense that Ian didn't feel any weight at all.

Even if it were a mountain, couldn't he just uproot it with brute force?

"This is Brother Ian!"

Jack laughed heartily with pride.

"Ian! He's still so cool even after transforming!"

Hancock's eyes sparkled with hearts, her face filled with ecstasy.

"Ian!"

Yamato, being a man of action, leaped up and jumped onto Ian's back. "Let's fly to find Ochoku in one go!"

Don't talk nonsense.

Ian rolled his eyes. "You think I'm some kind of transportation?"

After gently placing the ship on the sea, Ian did not immediately set sail. Instead, he stayed behind and waited for the Fish-Man Unit to arrive with the Sea Beast legion before officially setting off.

Their target is the large fleet of the Wang Zhi Pirates.

"Cloud Man Claude,"

On the deck of the Golden Flying Dragon, Ian found all the Bounty Poster for the top officers of the Wang Zhi Pirates and spread them out on the table. "Bounty: 680 million Beli, Ochoku's right-hand man, Logia Cloud-Cloud Devil Fruit User."

"Logia?"

Drake said softly, "That should be quite tricky."

Logia- type Devil Fruits may not be a good match for Haki, but this type of Devil Fruit has one major advantage: Logia users can unleash massive attacks, like natural disasters, with just a few gestures.

This is a huge advantage in wartime.

"If it's a cloud,"

Ian laughed and looked at Yamato. "Yamato, I'm leaving you here."

Yamato confidently patted his chest, "Easy peasy! I'll turn him into ice cubes!"

Clouds are essentially just tiny water droplets or sublimated ice crystals that have condensed and gathered together.

Then Yamato is a perfect match.

"Ian, aren't you going to take action yourself?"

Black Maria was somewhat surprised. "Could there be another, even stronger enemy?"

Luo picked up the Bounty Poster and looked at them. "Besides Claude, the top officers of the Wang Zhi Pirates include the Ghost Sword Smoker, who is skilled in Two-Sword Style, and Giant Eagle Jaeger, a Zoan Giant Eagle Devil Fruit User. Their bounties are only a little over 500 million, so they shouldn't be any particularly remarkable guys."

As is customary, the Wang Zhi Pirates also consist of one king and three admirals.

After Ian killed the giant serpent in the Battle of Hachinosu Island, Ochoku recruited another senior officer, making a total of three people.

However, the remaining two are not in the same league as Claude.

Does someone like this even warrant Ian's personal intervention?

"If it's just these guys who came, then I really don't need to take action."

Ian said that at this point, taking down these small-time pirates no longer brings Ian any sense of accomplishment.

"And if it's not just these guys coming, then they won't be my opponents."

Luo frowned slightly. "Ian, are you saying that Ochoku might be hiding in the fleet?"

"Who can say for sure about something like this?"

Ian just smiled.

He just wondered if Ochoku would really dare to send only one of his high-ranking officials to retaliate?

That seasoned veteran who's been around since the Rocks Pirates era— Ian thought he couldn't possibly be that foolish, could he?

However, just like what I said to Uncle Jin before.

It doesn't matter at all.

The Golden Flying Dragon continued forward.

Then one day...

Ian received a phone call.

"Hehehe, Ian! You've been so busy! You just fought a battle with a former Admiral from the Marine Headquarters in the North Blue, and now you're off to war with Ochoku."

The voice on the other end of the phone was full of mockery.

Ian took a deep breath. "Morgans, you should at least explain to me why Zephyr is on Minion Island."

"Haha, yeah, why is that? Maybe the Navy's intelligence system is really that amazing?"

Morgans chuckled and said, "But Ian, isn't the result great? You easily defeated even that former Admiral Zephyr, and even gained a Marine Base and two prosperous Affiliated Nation. It's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it."

"It's just a pity that such Big News Morgans can't be published in the newspaper."

That's obvious.

Ian's deal with the World Government is, of course, top secret. If it were leaked, where would the government's reputation be?

Although it was to save the Marines led by Zephyr, it was still a deal with pirates.

If Morgans dares to publish this in the newspapers, there is no doubt that the government will not let him off the hook.

Although this guy is crazy, he also felt that such a news story wasn't worth his utmost effort.

"So, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Ian said somewhat impatiently.

"Hehehe, the news from North Blue is over, so, Ian,"

Morgans chuckled, "Don't let me down this time. I'll make sure the whole world sees this battle."

Ian's lips twitched slightly. "Utterly boring."

"Hehehe! Anyway, Cloud Man Claude's fleet should be heading to Mittel Island next. You should meet there. Good luck in battle, Ian!"

Mittel Island?

That's indeed not far.

Ian had no doubt about Morgans ' intelligence.

He's really serious when it comes to making Big News Morgans.

Let's move forward then.

Prepare for battle.

Mittel Island.

This is not a deserted island; there are several small towns on it, but it doesn't even have a country.

At this moment, the island's inhabitants were filled with anxiety.

The situation is changing too fast.

Initially, the Wang Zhi Pirates Wang Zhi Pirates occupied this place, but they were driven away, and the Beasts Pirates became the masters of the island.

A few days ago, the Beasts Pirates retreated, but now, the Wang Zhi Pirates have returned with renewed force.

Huge ships were anchored along the coast, while swarms of pirates frolicked and played wildly in the island's towns.

The only thing that the island's inhabitants could be thankful for was that they were very poor. No matter how skilled the Wang Zhi Pirates were at exploiting people, they couldn't squeeze any wealth out of them. They even had very little food, so the pirates simply didn't bother with them. They had to bring their own food and drink to eat and drink on the island.

Ochoku did not land, but remained on the large ship on the shore, not wanting to give away any possibility of his whereabouts.

So when the sharp sound rang out from the sky, Ochoku looked up.

In the distance, a flock of Iron Bird is rapidly approaching!

"They're here!"

Ochoku sprang to his feet, his expression excited, and hid under a large umbrella. "Get everyone together! Also, Claude!"

"Understood, Boss Wang Zhi!"

Cloud Man Claude's lower body transformed into a cloud of mist, spewing gas into the sky and instantly soaring into the heavens.

He flicked his hands, and his arms transformed into black mist. Then, he roared, "Thundercloud Domain!"

The thick, dark clouds spread out like a tsunami, covering the entire sky above the sea area in just a few seconds.

In an instant, the entire sea turned gloomy.

"Climb higher!"

Drake hurriedly spoke from the formation of bombers that had come from afar.

Rushing into these dark clouds would likely not end well.

After all, dazzling lightning was leaping within those thick, dark clouds.

The fighter jets climbed higher and flew into the sky.

Drake looked down at the dark clouds below, his brow furrowed slightly.

If the view of the sea and islands below is completely obscured, then the bombing cannot proceed normally.

"Let's return."

Drake answered without hesitation.

So the bombers did not hesitate to make a U-turn in the air and then return to base.

Ochoku simply watched quietly as the Iron Bird flew away.

He did nothing, because he knew this was just the beginning.

That brat is here!

Come on! Come on, Ian!

A big surprise awaits you!

On the sea not far from the island, the Golden Flying Dragon was indeed rapidly approaching.

Ian stood at the bow of the ship, silently clenching his fist, white smoke billowing from his body. "Did you see anything?"

Beside him, Violet strained her eyes, "I see him! That's definitely Ochoku Zhi! He's on the deck of the warship."

Ian's lips curled into a smile.

It really is there.

Perfect timing, I can repay the kindness I showed you two years ago.

The power buildup is complete.

"Ready to launch."

Ian said, "Let the furry kids go and say hello to them first."

The furry children, five giant beasts already ready on the catapult.

Unlike the previous beasts on the ship, these five giant beasts are the most powerful beast kings on Ruskeina Island!

It can be said that each of them possesses the strength of a six-headed warrior.

There were only five of them on the entire Ruskeina Island, Ian brought them all out at once.

Then.

The catapults were launched, and the menacing monsters streaked across the sky like meteors, roaring as they plummeted toward the island.

The battle has begun!
