Secret Organization! Observation Kill! The Vanished People

"Ian! You've gone too far! You went to fight the Whitebeard Pirates without taking me with you!!"

Outside the Skull Building on Hachinosu Island, a battle for revenge is unfolding.

A revenge war waged by Yamato, an abandoned avenger Yamato, against his cold-blooded and ruthless childhood friend Ian.

"Since you won't let me fight Whitebeard, then you become my opponent!!"

Enraged by his childhood friend's posture Yamato transformed into a white werewolf and angrily pounced on Ian, who had just returned.

Ian sighed helplessly.

This was something I had expected.

This girl has never been one to reason.

"That's utter nonsense!"

Beside him, Hancock spoke up in a rather affected manner, "Ian already said he has important things to do, and he's still fooling around here."

She revealed a resolute look in her eyes, and said to Ian with righteous indignation, "Ian, you've just gotten back, go and rest first. I'll deal with this brat."

Ian's lips twitched slightly.

Hancock, could you tone it down a bit? This is getting a little too obvious.

Besides, you can't beat Yamato.

"Shut up!"

Yamato pointed his spiked club fiercely at Hancock, "This is between Ian! It's none of your business!"

Hancock's forehead vein throbbed.

Indeed, I should personally turn this bastard's hairy face into stone!

Ian sighed. "Come on, let's play together sometime, it's been a long time."

"It's not just a joke!"

Yamato has already launched his attack! "It's time for a battle!"

Show no mercy!

A gleaming iron rod, shrouded in thick mist, crashed down towards Ian's head. "This is punishment for Ian's abrupt departure!"

Punish?

Yamato, you're still quite a ways off from being able to punish me.

Ian raised his right hand.

Bang!!

The icy spiked club struck an invisible wall, the crystalline freezing air transforming into Inazuma, yet it could not advance even an inch further.

A patch of ice spread out behind Ian.

"The difference is too great."

Luo, who was also watching, couldn't help but sigh.

Even though Yamato had given it her all, Ian only needed one arm to deal with her.

"That damned Ian! He actually abandoned me!"

Yamato shouted loudly, "I won't let you get away with this!"

Ian's childhood sweetheart showed him absolutely no mercy, relentlessly unleashing a barrage of attacks upon him.

But of course, Ian defended them all with just one arm.

All attacks failed to touch him in the slightest.

Hancock couldn't help but cross her arms and sneer.

There's absolutely no chance of winning; all we can do now is watch this stinky white guy make a fool of himself.

But then, to her astonishment, she saw Ian give a strange smile.

Is now the time to laugh?

"Isn't that enough?"

Ian chuckled.

"I don't care!"

Yamato shouted, "He actually went to challenge the Whitebeard Pirates all by himself! He could have taken me with him! That's the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"How could I possibly lose?"

Ian smiled and said, "Didn't we come back safe and sound?"

Etc!

Upon hearing Ian's words, Luo suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Yamato in disbelief.

Is this relentless, storm-like attack actually a sign of worry?

This level of concern is simply too much for the average person to bear!

"But,"

Yamato paused, then shouted, "I want to fight alongside you too! I always have!"

"Okay, okay,"

Ian grabbed his childhood friend's spiked club and rubbed the guy's forehead.

It feels cool and refreshing, the fur is very soft, and it's incredibly comfortable to the touch.

"When we go to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates, you'll be the vanguard."

Hancock's face darkened completely.

You white-haired monster, you actually had this trick up your sleeve!

That bastard got the upper hand again!

"Hmph! Don't forget!"

Yamato snorted, "Once I learn Conqueror's Haki Infusion, I'll take on Whitebeard!"

"Then you'll have to do your best!"

Ian laughed, "Whitebeard- senpai was incredibly strong."

Even though Yamato mastered Conqueror's Haki Infusion, the gap between him and Whitebeard was still quite large.

After calming Yamato, Ian summoned Jinbe and Fisher Tiger.

Tell them everything is taken care of.

Jinbe and Fisher Tiger were also visibly moved.

Ian's actions this time truly moved them once again.

Family members, does anyone know this?

For the sake of his partner, he went alone to negotiate with his enemy Whitebeard Pirates, and successfully gained Whitebeard's support.

What happened during that time was Jinbe and Fisher Tiger couldn't even imagine.

This man is just too intoxicating!

Lord Ian!

We love you!

Ian then kept a close eye on the Reverie.

As it turned out, after being threatened, the Gorosei did indeed behave themselves.

They certainly wouldn't go to war with the Beasts Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates just for Fish-Man Island.

What makes politicians politicians is their ability to compromise.

The Gorosei are very good at weighing the pros and cons.

However, Ian also knew that the peaceful days wouldn't last long.

If the Revolutionary Army is wiped out, then the government's next target will be him.

Even if the Revolutionary Army survives, the government cannot concentrate all its resources on dealing with them indefinitely; it will eventually find a way to deal with them.

I need to become stronger to realize my dreams.

Ian began his arduous training in the Observation Kill.

While it's useless against weak opponents, it's extremely useful against truly skilled opponents.

The value of playing only high-level matches!

However, the only skill Ian can still cultivate now is the Skill of Observation Kill.

After all, he had already mastered the other Haki techniques; all that was left was to hone their strength step by step.

Just like his Haki, Ian was also completely out of touch with Awakening his abilities at this point.

The only thing one can do is to work hard to hone one's body and make it more mature, thereby increasing the power amplified when activating one's abilities.

Perhaps, just perhaps, I need a devastating blow?

He needs a powerful enemy that he can hardly resist at this moment?

But didn't Teacher Kai say that when both body and mind catch up with one's abilities, it will trigger the Awakening of those abilities?

It doesn't mean you have to get beaten to death like Luffy, right?

So, it turns out I'm still not strong enough?

With that in mind, Ian trained even harder.

It should be said that the training of the Observation Kill technique went quite smoothly, since it is essentially just the manipulation of Conqueror's Haki.

Having mastered the technique of Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, Ian is not lacking in the ability to control Conqueror's Haki.

The essence of this technique is to use Conqueror's Haki to disrupt one's own aura.

This is the first time Ian has used Conqueror's Haki on himself, and it feels quite strange.

A few days later, the Reverie ended, and Neptune and his wife returned safely to Fish-Man Island under the escort of the Navy.

Ian also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Everything went smoothly.

He soon received a call from Neptune.

Ian had assumed Neptune was calling to thank him.

However, it wasn't just about saying thank you.

Neptune, what did you say?

Ian wondered if he had misheard.

"I said,"

Neptune said earnestly on the other end of the phone, "The World Government cannot fulfill our centuries-old wish; they will not allow our compatriots to appear freely and equally on the seas!"

"Only you, Ian, only you can realize our dream! You are more suited to rule this world than the Celestial Dragons!"

Ah?

Ian looked somewhat bewildered.

Is this still the Neptune I know?

What kind of emotional journey did he go through to be able to say such a thing?

"My Fish-Man Island will fully support you, Ian, in overthrowing the World Government!"

Neptune's tone was almost resolute. "For this, Otohime and I also did what we could."

Ian became genuinely interested. "Something within my power? What do you mean?"

Neptune became somewhat excited. "Otohime and I realized that even among the King of the World Government Member States, there are many who are dissatisfied with the government."

"So during this Reverie, we recruited quite a few King, and together we formed a secret organization. Of course, on the surface, our goal was to unite and counterbalance the World Government."

"Oh?"

Ian was genuinely surprised. "Is that so?"

"Otohime's ability allows her to easily sense other people's emotions, and she can even force others to empathize with her."

Neptune said, "The eleven King who joined the organization were all very dissatisfied with the World Government. Even if they weren't extremely dissatisfied, Otohime used her abilities to bring out the discontent hidden in their hearts."

"There were originally many more King who were dissatisfied with the World Government, but these are the only King who have treated me and Otohime equally."

"..."

Ian was momentarily stunned.

Neptune, this guy actually stirred up such a huge mess without saying a word?

The King of the eleven Affiliated Nation, or Affiliated Nation if you include himself.

This is already a considerable force.

Moreover, this organization likely possesses considerable cohesion.

Ian knew how powerful Queen Otohime's ability could be in influencing others.

The Celestial Dragons had left the Donquixote Family spent some time with her, not only reforming his ways but also being executed by the Knights of God for saving Shirahoshi and the others.

Its ability to Brain Control is terrifying!

The King influenced by Otohime will likely find it difficult to dispel their resentment towards the World Government.

"You did a great job, Neptune."

Ian said earnestly, "I will give you all the support you want. Do your best to expand this organization."

Such a good opportunity to undermine the World Government is certainly not to be missed.

Putting everything else aside, if the Affiliated Nation were to split up, whose orders would the navy have?

"Yes!"

Neptune immediately became excited. Ian's approval greatly encouraged him. "Leave it to me! There are too many Affiliated Nation states that the World Government is dissatisfied with! You could even say that most Affiliated Nation are dissatisfied with the World Government's dominance!"

"Several King within the organization have said that they can easily recruit new people!"

There is great potential!

"Then I'll leave it all to you."

Ian laughed and said, "But be careful not to get caught by the government. I'll have someone infiltrated within the government to help cover for you."

Stussy can be put to good use again.

"That's great!"

Neptune hung up the phone excitedly.

Ian hung up the phone and put down the Den Den Mushi, still somewhat dazed.

So, Fish-Man Island is now completely on his side?

This means he can assemble an unprecedented underwater force, sending chills down the spines of all fleets on the high seas.

This also means that he can freely exploit seabed resources, and treasures that are inaccessible to ordinary people can only be revealed to him.

However, Neptune has really become a completely different person. I never would have imagined that Neptune would take the initiative to do something like this.

But this is certainly a good thing.

Let him do it.

Even if we fail, it's not a loss; at least we can create some chaos within the World Government.

Life returned to its uneventful state after that.

Ian's daily routine consists of handling official business, practicing the Observation Kill, and assisting Yamato and Hancock in learning Conqueror's Haki Infusion.

More than half a month after the Reverie.

"You should have learned it by now, right?"

In the plaza outside the Skull Building, Ian, wearing sunglasses, lay on a deck chair sunbathing and muttered to himself.

He refined the Conqueror's Haki and injected it into his body, thereby disrupting his own aura.

He has now completed this spiritual practice.

"How about it?"

He looked at the man in front of him, "What's different from before?"

Enel glanced at him with some disdain and casually remarked, "Something's different now; your breathing has become a bit chaotic."

Ian nodded slightly.

In that case, I guess I've already succeeded in my cultivation?

Enel has the strongest Observation Haki on the island besides himself, regardless of whether he has the Rumble-Rumble Fruit or not, he's strong.

He said his breathing had become disordered, so it should be fine.

There's no other person on the island who can Future Sight, so we can't conduct direct experiments.

Ian sighed.

"Lord Ian,"

Just then, a beautiful blonde woman gracefully approached, saying, "I have some very interesting news."

"Um?"

Ian pushed up his sunglasses and sat up from the recliner. "Tell me about it."

"That CP0 spy Doflamingo, Stussy, is going to become the King of Dressrosa," he said with a smile.

"Yeah?"

Ian raised an eyebrow. "That guy finally couldn't hold back anymore."

He had stayed comfortably in Dressrosa for so many years because of his own circumstances, but now it seems he has finally reached his breaking point.

"Violet,"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, "What do you say about your country having a new King?"

"What?"

Violet was sunbathing with her friends not far away, rushed over, somewhat panicked, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"That means Doflamingo is going to become the new King of Dressrosa."

Ian said.

"Doflamingo?"

Violet gritted her teeth. "That wretched guy! Did he attack again? He—"

The woman was momentarily stunned.

Who did Doflamingo attack again?

But none of that matters.

We need to stop that guy quickly!

But why?

Violet was lost in confusion.

Why stop Doflamingo?

What were my reasons for stopping him?

Something seems off.

Ian frowned.

What was his purpose in stopping Doflamingo from taking Dressrosa?

It seems to be for Violet.

But why must we stop Doflamingo from becoming the King of Dressrosa just for Violet's sake?

No, no!

Something's definitely wrong!

Even if he wasn't from the Uchiha clan, Ian felt that something was definitely wrong with this world.

Could it be that I've been influenced by some kind of power?
