The Final Battle atop Onigashima! The Divided Beasts!

A kitchen on Onigashima.

Sanji hummed a little tune as he scooped a little soup from the bubbling pot in front of him with a ladle and took a small sip.

"Hmm, add some more pepper."

This is his private kitchen.

Although he is only nine years old this year, he is already a pillar of the Beasts Pirates, which is why he has a private kitchen.

This is certainly not just because of his relationship with Ian, but also because of his strength.

With his Awakening Lineage Factor, a specially made Battle Suit, and his already mastered Six Powers, his strength far surpasses that of ordinary pirates, making him fully deserving of the title of a top-tier pirate.

Wow!

The kitchen door was suddenly flung open, and a masked boy shouted at Sanji from the doorway, "What time is it and you're still cooking here!"

"Ah?"

Sanji turned his head blankly. "What's wrong, Page One?"

"Brother Ian's back!" Page One exclaimed excitedly.

Sanji was taken aback, then his eyes lit up. "Where?"

"The Golden Flying Dragon has just docked at the port! Let's go find it!"

Page One was equally excited; it had been so long since he'd seen Brother Ian!

"Good!"

Without any hesitation, Sanji put down his ladle, put the lid on the pot, turned off the gas stove, and followed Page One out of the main building in a flash.

The entire Onigashima was in an uproar, with large numbers of pirates roaming the town streets.

"What happened?"

Sanji noticed something was wrong; all the pirates were carrying swords and blades, looking menacing and ready for battle.

But where is this place?

This is Onigashima!

The core of the World's Strongest pirate crew, the Beasts Pirates!

With Brother Ian back, there are two emperors here! Who would dare to cause trouble?

What exactly happened?

"Go find my older sister!"

Page One said calmly, "She went first! She must know what happened."

As he spoke, his body swelled up, transforming into a ferocious dinosaur. "Sanji, let's go!"

"They're here!"

Sanji leaped and landed directly behind Page One.

The nearly ten-meter-long dinosaur then charged forward at breakneck speed, completely ignoring the pirates in its path, yelling, "Get out of my way!!"

This is the style of the Beasts Pirates: simple and brutal.

Either get out of the way or experience what it feels like to be trampled by a dinosaur.

This method of travel proved very effective, Page One sped through the streets of Onigashima almost like a locomotive.

"Page One!"

Then a figure lunged from the side of the street and grabbed Page One by the neck.

The adorable girl with big eyes rubbed her excited face against the Spinosaurus's neck.

"Sis!"

As Page One walked forward, he shouted, "What's going on? Why is everyone carrying weapons?"

Ulti's expression instantly turned serious, her round eyes narrowing slightly. "Brother Ian is going to fight Mr. Kaido!"

"Isn't this a common occurrence?"

Sanji asked in surprise, "Last time Brother Ian came back, he even fought with Mr. Kaido."

"But this time, Brother Ian said,"

Ulti usually dislikes Sanji, or rather, she dislikes everyone except Ian and Page One on equal terms.

But at this moment, the girl couldn't care less about disliking Sanji. Instead, she said in a deep voice, "He is going to lead the people on the Golden Flying Dragon to fight against the pirates led by Kaido."

"What??"

Sanji was completely dumbfounded.

Although there have long been rumors on Onigashima that Brother Ian, is plotting something and wants to usurp the throne, the pirates on the Front Island.

The last time Brother Ian fought Kaido, it was Kaido's way of giving him a warning.

However, Sanji himself didn't take it to heart.

He knew very well that Brother Ian respected Kaido greatly, and that he was one of the very few people Kaido truly cared about.

Although the two masters and disciples mostly interact through battles, their relationship is definitely very close.

How could they possibly become enemies?

But now even Sanji is a little unsure.

In stark contrast to Sanji's horror, Page One was inexplicably excited, shouting loudly...

"Is Brother Ian finally ready to take action?"

"Brother Ian, are you finally ready to take action?"

At the top of Onigashima, the Golden Flying Dragon was left aside. Jack looked at Teacher Kai, who was sitting on the ground drinking in the distance, and spoke with a complicated expression in his eyes and heart.

This is the battlefield Ian chose, so he simply brought the entire Golden Flying Dragon aboard.

Everyone on the ship had disembarked and gathered behind Ian.

Friends, the Beast Pirates led by Babanuki, the giants led by Solemn and Shimir, the Fish-Man Unit under Jack's command, and those few beasts.

Apart from the mermaids who are unable to fight on land, all the combat forces on the Golden Flying Dragon are now present.

"It should have been done a long time ago!"

Yamato patted Ian's back cheerfully and said with a grin, "This time, let's give Dad a good beating! He's been beating us up for so many years, we've really wanted to get our revenge!"

Ian had mixed feelings.

I vaguely remember that Yamato and Teacher Kai were very close when they were little.

This must be what they call the rebellious phase.

"That's Kaido of the Beasts?"

Ace cautiously observed Teacher Kai, who was drinking in the distance while simultaneously scrutinizing the giants behind Ian with great interest.

"It's huge!"

Is he really not a giant?

"The World's Strongest!"

Kuina also quite excited, "They possess power comparable to Whitebeard!"

Even a country girl like her had heard of the name Kaido of the Beasts.

The strongest?

Enel, standing to the side, slightly raised his eyelids and casually looked up at Kaido.

"Who is stronger, him or Ian?"

Zoro asked the crucial question.

"We'll only know after we fight it."

Luo smiled lightly.

Now that Ian is a legitimate Pirate Emperor, it's really hard to say who's stronger or weaker.

"Wait! Ian! Something's not right!"

Violet rushed in front of Ian, gesturing wildly in protest, "Am I supposed to join the fight too? I'm a civilian employee!"

"Then you should take good care of yourself."

Ian chuckled, "If my opponent is Teacher Kai, I won't have much energy to spare for anything else."

"Then don't fight..."

Violet was on the verge of tears.

Ian simply chuckled.

This battle was not only a show for the government, but also a test of their abilities.

Neither the headquarters nor the crew of the Golden Flying Dragon had fought a real battle against a powerful enemy in far too long.

Let's seize this opportunity.

On one side of Onigashima, a dark shadow flapped its wings and took flight.

After circling half a circle in the sky, it crashed down in front of Ian.

"Ian,"

Amidst the flying dust, Uncle King made a dashing entrance. This most reliable man in the Beasts Pirates, however, spoke with a far from friendly tone, "What do you want?"

"Just to test it out."

Ian chuckled softly.

"Test?"

Uncle Jin doesn't seem to be buying it.

"Hahaha! Well said, kid!"

Familiar laughter came from the other side.

Uncle Queen appeared out of nowhere and strode over with heavy steps, shouting, "I just happened to want to test out the new weapon system too!"

Ian noticed that his left robotic arm seemed to have been replaced; it gleamed in the sunlight.

"Oh?"

Ian's eyes lit up. "Is it the weapon described in the blueprints I brought back last time?"

"Mwahahaha!"

Uncle Queen said smugly, "You'll find out soon enough, kid!"

Ian expressed his anticipation for this.

At this moment, even more pirates surged onto the summit of this Onigashima from all directions.

The pirates were naturally buzzing with discussion.

They were also somewhat confused about the current situation. Were Lord Ian and Boss Kaido really going to become enemies?

Their confusion prevented them from showing any shock even when they saw the giants standing behind Ian.

This is actually quite normal, since the giants are indeed less visually striking than the Bravens.

"Brother Ian!"

Joyful shouts rang out from one side.

Ulti, along with her younger brother and Sanji, were rushing over.

"Yo,"

Ian greeted them with a smile, "Haven't seen you in a while, Run, Page One, and Sanji."

"Brother Ian!"

Ulti cheered and jumped up, wanting to throw herself directly into Ian's arms.

However, Yamato intercepted her precisely Yamato grabbed her by the back of the neck.

"Hahaha! Long time no see, Xiao Run!"

Yamato and hugged Ulti tightly, squeezing and kneading her like a rag doll.

Enraged Ulti screamed repeatedly, "Let me go! You bastard!!"

She struggled desperately, but her strength was far inferior to Yamato's, and all her efforts were in vain.

"Brother Ian!"

Page One and Sanji ran up to Ian, Page One excitedly said, "We're here to help you!"

Sanji, however, asked with slight concern, "Brother Ian, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Don't worry.

Ian simply smiled and said, "It's just a drill."

"Exercise?"

Sanji blinked.

"Who are they?"

Ace sized up the three little ones who were running towards him.

They seem to be around the same age as them.

"Like you, Ian picked me up from outside."

Luo said casually.

"It's the same as yours."

Black Maria said with a smile.

Remind Luo that he was also taken in by Ian.

At that moment, Ian turned around and waved to them, "Come on, all of you, Enel too. It's a good opportunity to get to know each other; we'll all be crewmates on the same ship from now on."

"Brother Ian!"

Ulti keenly noticed the key point in Ian's words. "Will we be able to go out to sea with you in the future?"

After all, Brother Ian had just mentioned being companions on the same boat.

"Um."

Ian nodded slightly.

We'll likely be stationed on Hachinosu Island for quite some time now.

Then the children must be taken away.

"Yay!!"

Ulti cheered.

She was so happy that she didn't even notice that Yamato was holding her in his arms.

"Then."

Ian pointed to Ace, Zoro, and Kuina, who were walking over, and said, "Ace, Zoro, Kuina are our new crew members. They're about your age, so you can get to know them better."

He then pointed to Enel, who was standing nonchalantly to the side, and said, "That's Enel. Ignore him; he's got a terrible temper."

After introducing this side, we'll introduce the other side.

Ian had Yamato put Ulti down and introduced the three to Ace and the others, "Ulti and Page One are siblings, and the last one is called Sanji."

Almost instinctively, Sanji's gaze fell on the Moss Head.

Zoro frowned after noticing his gaze.

This guy is a bit of an eyesore x2

"Since he's Brother Ian's new partner, we can't let him down!"

Ulti stood with her hands on her hips, looking like a senior.

At that moment, the ground suddenly began to shake.

What is that?

Standing behind Ian, Solemn was not far away, suddenly exclaimed.

One after another, enormous monsters crawled up along the edge of the skull.

Their mere steps caused the ground to tremble.

After seeing what those creatures looked like, Solemn was even more surprised, "Ancient Giant Tribe?"

The shortest one was much taller than them, and the tallest one was even two or three times their height!

"Boss!"

Solemn hurriedly looked down at Ian and asked, "You never told us that the Beasts Pirates had so many Ancient Giant Tribe!"

Ian smiled.

The Giant Kingdom can't be said to be completely unaware of overseas affairs, but rather not very much so. Don't they even know about the Bravens?

"It was purchased from the World Government a long time ago."

Ian answered very seriously, "It's said to be a failed experiment in giantification."

"What? A gigantification experiment?"

Solemn was taken aback, then roared angrily, "Damn World Government! They really are eyeing the power of our Giant tribe!"

"Leave them to us, Boss Ian!"

Shimir shouted, "We'll show them what the true power of a giant is like!"

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Ian chuckled softly.

Which is stronger, a man-made giant or a real giant?

Now, take a good look at yourself.

The number of pirates on the summit of this Onigashima is increasing; almost all the pirates from the entire Onigashima have come here.

They discussed it, surprised, and excited, all turning their gazes toward Teacher Kai and Ian.

Is that enough?

Ian thought, what's meant to come has probably already come.

So.

He stepped forward, his voice booming, "This is just a drill, so attacks on vital areas are not allowed, and attacks on those who have already fallen are not allowed. Once you fall, you are not allowed to get up again."

"Exercise?"

The pirates immediately started discussing it.

Was it really just a drill?

Is it really not that Lord Ian is plotting to usurp the throne?

"Hehehehe!"

Teacher Kai put down his gourd, picked up his spiked club, and stood up. He laughed loudly, "Choose! Follow Ian, or follow me!"

The top of the Onigashima fell silent in an instant.

This is--

Does this mean the Beasts Pirates are really going to split up?

The pirates exchanged bewildered glances.

Ian couldn't help but laugh too.

Teacher Kai is truly a genius at acting, although he probably didn't mean to be dramatic when he said that.

"Didn't you hear what I said?!"

The spiked club slammed heavily to the ground, the thunderous sound instantly striking the hearts of all the pirates.

"Of course we'll follow Boss Kaido!"

The pirates laughed and gathered behind Teacher Kai.

However, they are not all.

"Lord Ian! Let us follow you!"

Nearly half of the pirates are still approaching Ian.

If we include the pirates brought by the Golden Flying Dragon, the numbers on both sides are roughly equal.

In the blink of an eye, the standoff between the two sides was fully formed.

On Teacher Kai's side are Uncle Jhin, Uncle Queen, a group of pillars, and the Bravens.

On Ian's side were his companions from the Golden Flying Dragon, as well as the giant mercenaries.

Two dark, imposing groups of people faced off across the top of this Onigashima.

"Hey, hey, he actually managed to pull it off?"

Uncle Queen couldn't help but yell, "You've split the pirate crew apart!"

This kid actually has such a high reputation among the pirates?

He's almost on par with Kaido!!

"Hehehehe!"

Teacher Kai laughed heartily, "Well done, kid!"

"It's all thanks to your excellent teaching."

Ian chuckled softly.

This isn't hard to understand, since he's been the one effectively managing the Beasts Pirates all these years.

Moreover, now that he is comparable to Teacher Kai in both reputation and strength, it is perfectly normal for the pirates to waver in their loyalty.

The pirates who followed them probably all felt that since they would eventually lead the Beasts Pirates anyway, they were just ahead of time.

"So,"

Black Inazuma instantly erupted from Teacher Kai's body. "Let's begin!"

A violent aura swept over us.

"OK."

Ian's eyes narrowed.

The same fierce momentum surged out like a tsunami.

Boom!!!

Onigashima began to tremble.
