Jinbe! The Safest Sea in the World! Elegia!

Jinbe looked somewhat bewildered.

What is this guy suddenly saying?

Aren't we all teammates?

Sasaki's lips twitched slightly as he leaned close to Jinbe's ear and whispered, "This guy beat us all up these past two days."

Jinbe was slightly taken aback.

So irritable?

"Although I'm a little unwilling, this guy who became an ability user is incredibly strong!"

Sasaki's voice sounded genuinely resentful, "I was no match for him, he beat me up badly!"

Not only him, but also Durin, the Jonathan brothers, and all the pirate captains got a beating from Flock.

That guy was already quite strong, and now that he's become Ancient Zoan user, his melee combat abilities have been further enhanced.

Sasaki got a really bad beating.

"But,"

Jinbe was somewhat puzzled, "Why would you do something like this?"

Weren't you done fighting on that island?

Before Sasaki could explain, Flock loudly proclaimed, "I will prove to Lord Ian that I am the strongest of all the pirates who have joined his ranks!"

Is it really for something so trivial?

Jinbe shook his head helplessly. "Sorry, I'm not in the mood to play with you right now."

He still has to make arrangements for his compatriots; tens of thousands of people are waiting for him.

"I'm the one who should apologize!"

Flock grinned broadly, his gleaming white teeth seemingly reflecting a cold light in the sunlight.

"Because only the strong have the power to make decisions!"

Ignoring Jinbe's opinion completely, the man pounced on him.

Jinbe's brows were furrowed tightly.

This guy is really persistent.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Beside them, Fisher Tiger, who had voluntarily stepped down and was now helping Jinbe maintain order, laughed heartily, "Jinbe, let's teach him a lesson!"

Jinbe took a deep breath.

Since this guy's asking for trouble, let's just give in to him.

"Ha ha!"

Flock chuckled and took small, quick steps, his fists protecting his head. Suddenly, he ducked and swayed to Jinbe's side, throwing a jab.

His punches are so fast that they are impossible for the eyes of ordinary people to catch, and even the sound cannot keep up!

Besides being fast, his fist was also wreathed in Black Haki, indicating that his strength was definitely not weak.

As a top-tier boxer, Flock has absolute faith in his fists!

This blow is meant to leave the man in front of me with a bruised and swollen face, just like Sasaki!

But.

Snap!

A clear sound.

Flock stared in astonishment, his eyes wide.

His fist was grabbed by Jinbe's large hand.

A large, blue hand with webbed fingers perfectly enveloped Flock's fist.

"Drink!"

With Jinbe shout, Jinbe used his right hand to forcefully throw Flock into the air.

The man with long arms had a drastic change in expression.

Such incredible strength!!

He's way better than that Sasaki guy!

Jinbe swung Flock around like a whip, then slammed him heavily to the ground.

The ground was instantly smashed open, creating a spiderweb-like network of cracks.

However, Flock's strength was by no means undeserved.

He exuded Haki the moment he was slammed to the ground.

Even so, he was beaten until a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

However, he did not lose his fighting ability because of this. He used his abdominal muscles to leap up and perform a Golden Hook, smashing his right foot towards Jinbe.

Jinbe raised his arm to block it.

Flock had already flipped himself up and in the next instant he had transformed into a giant ape.

"Good!"

Flock laughed heartily, "That's more like it!"

"Strong Speed Cannon Fist!!"

Since the giant ape form is not much different from humans, Flock doesn't need to enter Beastman Mode to enjoy the agility and dexterity of orc.

The enormous fist, like a cannonball from a naval gun, came crashing down on Jinbe.

Jinbe frowned.

Since that's the case.

He brought his fists to his waist and assumed a fighting stance.

"The Fish-Man Karate-- "

Black Haki enveloped his fist, and the moisture transformed into Shockwave that rippled across it.

Jinbe leaped into the air.

"Onigawara Seiken!!"

Jinbe threw a punch.

The next moment, the two fists collided.

Black Haki Inazuma began to leap, and the strong wind made Sasaki unconsciously squint.

Wow, this Fish-Man is amazing!

Despite facing Flock's all-out effort, this guy didn't seem to be at a disadvantage at all!

In fact, it's not just about not being disadvantaged—

Wow!

Flock suddenly screamed in agony.

Sasaki was surprised to see that Flock's right fist suddenly bent and his right shoulder bulged out strangely, as if it had been completely dislocated by the blow.

Then, Flock's massive body spun around like a top and flew out, crashing heavily into a house in the distance.

"..."

Sasaki stared in disbelief.

No way?

Was Flock really defeated so easily?

He stared at Jinbe's retreating figure in disbelief.

We're both Fish-Man, how come you're so strong?

Jinbe shook his hand.

He possesses considerable Haki and strength, but he is still considerably inferior to him.

The biggest difference between the two sides lies in their skills.

Ordinary boxing techniques are far inferior to his masterful Fish-Man Karate.

"Brother Jinbe!"

Suddenly, excited shouts came from behind.

Jin turned around in surprise and saw Sasaki's eyes shining. "Could you please teach me to become stronger?"

Ah?

After being beaten up by Jinbe, Flock immediately became obedient.

After all, the difference in strength was quite obvious; he suffered a broken hand and dislocated shoulder joint from Jinbe punch from Jinbe.

He suddenly became quite respectful in Jinbe's presence.

This guy is arrogant in front of the weak, but quite honest in front of the strong; you could say he's very genuine.

Not only him, but the other pirate captains also showed him great respect after learning about Jinbe's strength.

And just like that, to Jinbe's utter bewilderment, he became the elder brother of many pirate captains.

Jinbe also complained to Ian that those guys now all aimed to defeat him.

Ian smiled and said, "Isn't this good too?"

Ian has no immediate plans to train his pirate crew as part of a military force.

Pirates should act like pirates. If they were to be so strictly disciplined and enforce orders, the government would probably get restless.

However, ten pirate crews would be too chaotic, so having a leader wouldn't be bad.

After the new immigrants were settled, Ian began the next step of his operation.

Most of the pirates in the Hachinosu Island waters were already eliminated in the previous battle royale tournament.

However, not all pirates are eager to Ian Ian's crew.

Many pirates still roam this sea area.

Ian was well aware that many of them were even hostile towards him.

So, the next step is to hunt these guys down mercilessly.

Ian wants to make the waters around Hachinosu Island a no-go zone for pirates.

Now, the conditions are ripe.

In a certain area of the sea, some distance from Hachinosu Island.

A pirate ship is slowly moving forward here.

On the ship, the pirate captain flipped through a newspaper, "That's really exaggerated."

He exclaimed in amazement, "Out of dozens of pirate crews, only ten survived and joined Ian's ranks!"

"Really? Thank goodness we didn't go, otherwise we'd probably be dead by now."

"I really don't understand what Ian is trying to do."

His subordinates around him sighed repeatedly, "So many pirates want to be his subordinates, yet he insists on making them kill each other."

"He can't possibly be unable to support those pirates, can he?"

"This is the arrogance of an emperor."

The pirate captain casually remarked, "We only accept the strong and look down on the weak pirates."

He sneered, "Good thing, I have no interest in Ian Ian's ranks!"

"So what if he's the Pirate Emperor? One day I'll bring him down!"

It's clear that this pirate captain is the type who wants to make a name for himself by going up against one of the Four Emperors.

But, very suddenly.

Buzz!!

A series of sharp, explosive sounds came from the sky.

The pirate captain looked up in surprise.

He saw three enormous birds, large birds that spread their wings from the clouds and swooped down toward the ship.

Wrong.

His expression gradually changed; his eyes widened and his mouth gaped open.

That's not a bird!

Or rather, it's a steel bird!!

"It's a bomber from the Beasts Pirates!!"

The pirate captain sprang to his feet, yelling shrilly, "They're coming for us! Watch out! Take cover! Take cover now!"

But they're right here on the open sea, on this ship. Where can they possibly hide?

Three bombers flew over the ship in the next instant.

However, as they flew by, they also left behind precious gifts.

With a whooshing sound, bombs rained down, crashing onto the pirate ship at an angle.

Then.

Boom!!

A gigantic flower of flames instantly bloomed on the sea.

The towering flames were as brilliant and dazzling as a volcanic eruption.

Hachinosu Island.

"Alright, another one taken care of."

Violet Thousand Mile Eye still working, rubbed her eyes.

While it's very convenient, prolonged use can easily cause dry eyes.

"Very good."

Behind him, Ian marked a spot on a nautical chart spread out on the desk, and without looking up, said, "Continue."

Violet could only sigh helplessly; what could she do when Ian was the boss?

She could only widen her eyes and continue to use her Thousand Mile Eye to search the entire waters around Hachinosu Island.

Once the airports on each island are completed, dealing with the pirates roaming this sea area will be quite easy.

Ian first obtained a batch of bombers from Wano Country headquarters.

Then, Violet, this artificial radar, came in handy.

She will use her Thousand Mile Eye to search for pirates in this sea area.

Then, bombers from nearby islands will be dispatched to obliterate the target in the shortest possible time.

Even if the distance is too far for bombers to fly over, as long as the pirates don't stay in one place, there will always be an opportunity to bomb them.

This was an operation that the pirates simply couldn't counter.

Bombers attacking from high altitudes are beyond their reach.

Most pirates could be blown to bits by just a few bombs.

The pirates also dared not attack the island where the airport was located.

Giant warriors and ferocious beasts are all waiting for them; to do so would be suicidal.

The only problem was the climate of the New World.

Violet had to keep a close eye on the weather conditions while the bombers were on their sorties, and she had to notify them to turn around immediately if things went wrong.

Even so, several bombers were still lost in the sudden storm.

But the results are certainly significant.

In less than two weeks, more than twenty pirate crews were blown to smithereens by bombs falling from the sky.

Ian then published a statement in the World Economy News Paper.

He issued a warning to all pirates in the area: either get out or die.

The pirates in this area finally realized that Ian was hunting them.

After some of the most stubborn pirates who insisted on fighting Ian to the bitter end were blown into the air, the remaining pirates finally fled the area in a panic.

There was no other way; the emperor's authority was terrifying enough, and the threat of bombers was even more imminent.

They couldn't fight back.

The waters around Hachinosu Island finally became completely calm.

Within a short period of time, the concentration of pirates in this sea area has become frighteningly low.

Hachinosu Island, the top of the Skull Building.

Ian is playing with the child.

Bonney is five months old now. Although she can't walk or talk yet, when Ian lifts her up, her chubby, fair face smiles, revealing her gums with a few teeth. She babbles softly, and her two short, chubby little hands keep trying to reach out and grab Ian's face.

Human babies are the cutest creatures in the world.

"Give me a hug! Give me a hug too, Ian!"

Yamato kept shaking Ian's arm, looking very anxious.

Be careful.

Ian gave the girl some instructions.

She was incredibly strong; she could easily get hurt if she wasn't careful while holding a small baby.

"Hey-hey."

Yamato carefully took Bonney from Ian's hands, held the baby up in front of her, and stared at her intently.

"So cute!"

The next moment, Yamato excitedly pressed his face against Bonney's, gently rubbing against her. The baby immediately grinned, opening his mouth wide to nibble on Yamato's fair face, leaving a little drool mark.

Yamato didn't care, but turned around and looked at Ian expectantly, "Ian, Ian, I was just as cute when I was little, right?"

Ian smiled. "How should I know? We only met when we were two years old."

"Hey!"

Yamato was disappointed. "I thought we'd known each other longer."

"It's been long enough."

Ian rolled his eyes.

Yamato, still sulking, went back to playing with the baby.

Ian glanced at Hancock beside him, whose smile seemed somewhat forced, and was quite surprised. This woman usually argued with Yamato about everything, so why was she so quiet today?

"Aren't you going to play with Bonney?" he asked.

Hancock smiled faintly. "I don't really like babies."

But actually...

That wretched brat!! How dare he be so close to Ian!!

Hancock was internally screaming.

But of course she dared not say those words aloud.

"However, it is truly remarkable, Lord Ian,"

A gentle voice came from the side as Xiong shook the baby bottle in his hand, making sure the freshly prepared formula inside dissolved evenly.

While preparing food for his daughter, he smiled and said, "There are almost no pirates in the waters around Hachinosu Island now. People call it the safest waters in the world."

That is indeed a name.

But these are all things people say in private.

Of course, no one would dare say that openly.

Otherwise, how could pirates be considered the safest place in the world?

I suspect you might be a little disloyal.

That's what the World Government would say.

"It's nothing special."

Ian chuckled softly.

He came up to sunbathe during a break from work.

The bear also brought Bonney to sunbathe. The toxins in Bonney's body had been completely cleared by Law, and she could now freely appear in the sunlight.

Ian said, "Isn't Aunt Linlin's Whole Cake Island Oceans the same?"

Upon hearing Aunt Linlin, Xiong's face stiffened instantly. This usually gentle man couldn't help but reveal a disgusted expression, as if he had eaten shit.

Ian could roughly guess what conditions he and Dragon had offered to get Aunt Linlin to send Brulee to help.

After all, the news that came from Stussy was that Aunt Linlin was pregnant again.

The timing was perfect.

However, it must be said that the waters of the Whole Cake Island are indeed very peaceful.

The Charlotte Family does not allow any pirates to enter.

"The waters Whole Cake Island Heritage Site are much smaller than the waters Hachinosu Island."

The bear regained its composure and spoke seriously.

Indeed, this is true. Although the World of Whole Cake Island is also composed of islands, its actual size is roughly equivalent to that of Wano Country.

Compared to the truly vast sea area around Hachinosu Island, it's simply insignificant.

"And,"

Xiong paused, "There, only those who regularly offer their lifespan to Charlotte Linlin can receive protection."

"That's already pretty good."

Ian chuckled, "There are many people in the world who would love to give their lifespan to Aunt Linlin but haven't had the chance yet."

The bear fell silent.

That's why we can't help but marvel at how remarkable Lord Ian.

Although the common people under Lord Ian's rule were not particularly wealthy, they at least had jobs that were enough to support their families.

Even now, this sea area has become completely peaceful, basically free from the harassment of pirates.

Peaceful and tranquil, free from pirate attacks, free from discrimination, where all races can coexist harmoniously, free from abuse, where the ruling class does not excessively exploit the common people, and where the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

This is already the most beautiful world that the bear can imagine.

Lord Ian, if it were you, you would surely make this world a better place, wouldn't you?

Nika may really just be a mythical figure; to change the world, we still need real people who actually exist in this world.

Ian, of course, had no idea what the bear was thinking.

He just smiled and continued to tease little Bonney.

However, it must be said that the title of the safest sea in the world does carry some weight.

According to Stussy, many people are secretly planning to migrate to the waters around Hachinosu Island.

People in the Affiliated Nation might pay some attention, but for ordinary people in non- Affiliated Nation, as long as they can survive, it doesn't matter where they are.

However, before they could even process these immigrants who had come on their own, a news story shocked the world.

That day, almost every major newspaper had this as its headline.

<The music kingdom of Elegia has been horribly destroyed by the Red-Haired Pirates!!>

Today I can confidently ask for monthly votes!!
