Nothing to Fear Anymore

It must be emphasized again that Violet's Thousand Mile Eye does not directly look into the distance with herself as the center, but rather from a bird's-eye view.

This means she can look down directly from the sky, surveying the vast ocean area within a 4,000-kilometer radius of her.

It can not only conduct long-distance, wide-range observations, but also allow for close-up observations after the target has been identified.

Even so, finding a few people on the vast ocean is by no means a difficult task.

"You really want to kill me."

On the deck of the Golden Flying Dragon, Violet, while putting in eye drops, complained, "How are we supposed to find even a few people in such a vast area!"

"I didn't ask you to find people, finding a boat is enough."

Ian leaned against the ship's railing. "They can't be hiding in any country. There are countless people secretly searching for them on every island. They can only be hiding on a ship."

"Their ship must be very different from merchant ships and pirate ships, so finding it shouldn't be too difficult. Let's hurry. They probably haven't left this area yet, but who knows what will happen later."

"You make it sound so easy for you!"

Violet's lips twitched slightly. "Do you know how many ships are in this area?"

"Try harder,"

Ian encouraged him, saying, "I'll give you a raise after you find it."

Who cares about your meager salary!

Violet said irritably.

Do you even know how valuable a princess from Affiliated Nation of the UN Security Council is?

However, on the other hand, Ian did not shortchange them when it came to paying their salaries. It's just that since they didn't have many places to spend money and could get whatever they wanted directly, they gradually lost their concept of money.

Although she spoke harshly, Violet relaxed her eyes slightly and began searching again.

As Ian said, finding people in such a vast sea is a very difficult task; even Violet's Thousand Mile Eye would not be able to spot a few specific individuals in a sea of people.

But ships are different.

Ships sailing on the sea have no obstructions; they can be seen from the sky with a single glance.

Although this sea area contains dozens of islands and several countries, the number of ships sailing in this sea area is not very large.

Unfortunately, those capable of navigating the seas of the New World are indeed a tiny minority. The bizarre climate and turbulent ocean currents will teach all those who are ignorant of their own limitations a lesson.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Violet's workload was not as large as imagined.

The person with the heaviest workload is actually someone else.

"We've spotted another somewhat promising ship!"

Violet shouted loudly.

"Location?"

Ian took out Den Den Mushi).

Violet immediately gave the directions.

Meanwhile, Ian's call had already connected, and he relayed Violet's words to the person on the other end.

"Hurry up, Enel!"

So, on an island in this sea, Enel, who was sitting on the shore eating an apple, suddenly became angry.

That bastard treats the great God like a slave!

They don't even respect me!

He was complaining there, and the next second, he vanished in Inazuma.

Not long after, on a certain part of the sea.

Enel solidified his form in the sky, looking down at the quietly sailing ship below, his Observation Haki, enhanced by electromagnetic waves, instantly covering it.

Soon after, on the Golden Flying Dragon's side, Ian received Enel's report.

"No."

"Isn't that right?"

Ian shook his head helplessly.

When using Thousand Mile Eye, Violet cannot add X-ray vision, so if Zephyr is hiding inside the cabin, it is impossible to directly determine that the ship is his hiding place.

Therefore, double insurance is needed, requiring Enel, with his amazing mobility and terrifying perception, to go and confirm.

Enel is the one who worked the hardest and deserves the most credit!

While Ian was using clumsy methods to find Charlotte in Zephyr, someone decided to use a smarter approach.

On an island in this sea area.

A NEO Marines warship was engulfed in flames off the coast.

On the shore, Crocodile asked nervously, "How is it?"

Before him stood the impeccably dressed Redfield, holding in his hand a man dressed as a NEO Marines officer. This man was the captain of the warship on your shore, a former captain of the Marine Headquarters Colonel.

Under Crocodile's expectant gaze, Ryde shook his head helplessly. "He doesn't know where Zephyr is either."

"Damn old man!"

Crocodile couldn't help but curse, "Don't you even trust your own people?"

He did not doubt Ryde's conclusion.

The main reason is that this man's Observation Haki allows him to directly see into other people's minds, so there's no way anyone can deceive him.

"You should give up."

The officer spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and sneered, "How could you guys possibly imagine the wisdom of Teacher Zephyr? He foresaw every possible scenario!"

Crocodile expressionlessly raised his hand and sucked the guy into a dried-up corpse. "Looks like I really have to go back empty-handed."

"Forget it, if we fail this time, we can try again!"

Anyway, Zephyr isn't going to be able to use up all the Dyna Stone in a short time.

If you fail once, just try again next time.

As long as everyone leaves empty-handed, there's no problem.

We can't possibly come up with nothing while Ian and Charlotte Linlin are saying they've made some gains, can we?

This doesn't make sense.

The Golden Flying Dragon.

Violet had already used eye drops many times, and her eyes were bloodshot. Her abilities were not particularly physically demanding, but she was already panting heavily.

She had been using her abilities for too long, to the point that she was becoming somewhat mentally unstable.

"Another ship has been spotted."

After repeatedly finding the wrong answer, Violet's excitement had waned, and she was even somewhat indifferent. "Let me see, it's in—hmm!"

The calm instantly transformed into excitement.

"So!"

Ian immediately stood up straight, staring intently at her. "Violet?"

"As the view zoomed in, I saw on the deck, it was former Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Momousagi!"

Violet's tired face was now beaming with a smile, her lips curving upwards. "She's still leisurely lying under the parasol, drinking her beverage."

"Excellent!"

Ian's smile widened. "Well done, Violet! This is the best news I've heard in the last two years!"

After capturing Dyna Stone, the way we interact with the World Government will have to change somewhat.

"Lock them down!"

Ian told Violet, "Then have Enel follow him! Make sure Zephyr is on that ship!"

"We absolutely cannot let them get away!"

After all the arrangements are made, it's time to set off.

Without further hesitation, Ian transformed into a giant Golden Flying Dragon, grabbed the Golden Flying Dragon, and soared into the sky, its wings flapping as it rapidly approached the ship.

Whether Zephyr is on that ship or not, as long as Momousagi is caught, everything will be over.

Even if Zephyr wasn't on that ship, she definitely knew Zephyr's whereabouts.

No matter how stubborn she tried to be, it was pointless; Violet could read minds.

Soon, once Enel caught up with the ship, even that suspense disappeared.

He called to say that Zephyr was on that ship, and he heard many people calling "Teacher Zephyr".

Ian was even more motivated to keep going, and he sped forward almost at breakneck speed.

Zephyr suddenly felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

But when he turned around to try and figure out where the feeling came from, he didn't know where to begin.

He simply walked out of the cabin.

"Teacher Zephyr!"

On the deck, after the crisis was over, the disciples were all relieved and resting. When they saw him come out, they all hurriedly greeted him.

Zephyr nodded slightly in response.

However, his teacher's instincts still compelled him to reprimand, "This is not the end, not even the beginning of the end; this is merely the end of the beginning!"

"An even bigger storm is yet to come!"

"Teacher Zephyr,"

Momousagi stood up from the lounge chair. She was wearing a simple tank top and a mini skirt, and her hair wasn't up. She looked beautiful and full of energy.

She said, "What should we do next?"

"The primary task remains unchanged."

Zephyr said, "Our primary enemy is the World Government, and for that, we need more and stronger forces!"

"Expanding our military strength as much as possible and recruiting more talented individuals is absolutely the right thing to do."

He paused, then added, "Also, I want to go find Kuzan."

"Yeah! And Senior Kuzan too!"

Gion nodded repeatedly, "He has already left the Navy, so if we invite him, he definitely won't refuse!"

"It's definitely not that bad."

Zephyr smiled too. "But we can always give it a try."

At least, Kuzan won't refuse outright now, right?

If Kuzan were to join them, the strength of the NEO Marines could be described as more than doubled.

The Admiral of the Marine Headquarters represents such a massive fighting force.

"In addition,"

Zephyr narrowed his eyes. "This pirate attack is probably related to the monsters in the New World."

"Since they dared to make a move, they must have been prepared to be punished."

"Oh?"

Gion exclaimed with delight, "So, we're finally going to make a move on those guys? Who should we start with?"

"The whereabouts of the Cross Guild headquarters are uncertain, Wano Country and Hachinosu Island are too far away,"

Zephyr sneered, "Let's give the Charlotte Family a warning first--"

He suddenly froze.

look up.

In the sky, something was silently looking down at them.

Cold sweat instantly streamed down Zephyr's forehead.

This guy!!

It's that Rumble-Rumble Fruit Devil Fruit User under Ian's command!!

Oops!

We've been discovered!

"Teacher Zephyr!!"

A scream rang out from Gion: "Look over there!"

Zephyr subconsciously looked in the direction Gion was pointing.

The next instant, his pupils suddenly contracted.

In the distance, a colossal creature with a wingspan of nearly two hundred meters flapped its wings and rapidly approached a ship, clutching its wings.

"Ian!!"

Zephyr was certainly no stranger to this guy.

He was practically gritting his teeth.

He will never forget the humiliation he suffered a few months ago!

But how could this be? How did he manage to find us so quickly?

What should we do now?

What should we do now?

Zephyr's pupils trembled.

Having encountered the Golden Flying Dragon on this vast ocean, how can they escape?

There was no time to think further. The monster had already placed the ship on the distant sea, then shrunk in size, entered its orc form, and hurtled towards them.

Blazing Flames behind him, propelling him closer like a shooting star.

There's only one way!

Zephyr gritted his teeth, turned around, and prepared to run into the cabin.

Dyna Stone!

Now only Dyna Stone can turn the tide!

but.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, landing directly in front of the cabin door and blocking Zephyr's only path.

Enel's eyelids drooped, and he casually said, "This road is blocked."

"Get out of my way!"

Zephyr clenched his mechanical right arm and threw a powerful punch at Enel.

"Discharge!"

Enel merely sneered and unleashed a massive bolt of lightning at Zephyr.

Caught off guard, Zephyr could only raise his arms to defend himself.

"Teacher Zephyr, leave this guy to me!"

Gion drew closer, her black blade aimed straight for Enel's neck.

However, Enel was obviously much faster. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in the sky. With a snap of his fingers, a large amount of lightning rained down on the NEO Marines on the deck with perfect accuracy.

"Damn it!"

Zephyr gritted his teeth; not everyone could withstand this guy's thunderous power.

He simply threw a powerful punch, unleashing Shockwave Haki shattered the thunderbolts raining down from the sky.

Just as he was about to be hit by the Haki Shockwave, Enel transformed into Inazuma once again to create distance.

He didn't make another move, because the main character had already arrived.

"Quiet down!"

Golden Heavenly God descended from the sky, his body crackling with black and red arcs of electricity.

The overwhelming Conqueror's Haki instantly caused the entire ship to tremble violently, and the deck and masts began to crack.

The surrounding sea surface seemed to boil, with countless water droplets leaping and suspending as if weightless, creating a thick fog on the surface.

The NEO Marines members on the ship fell one after another, like wheat being harvested.

Only a few former Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral could barely withstand Ian's Conqueror's Haki, but even so, they were almost collapsed on the ground, their clothes soaked with sweat.

"Ian!!"

Zephyr roared, its head thrown back.

Why is it you again?!

You bastard, do you really have to be an enemy of my justice?

Ian ignored him completely and then threw Surtur, who was perched on his shoulder, toward Zephyr.

Then, he plummeted straight down like a meteorite.

The moment he landed on the deck, the deck beneath his feet melted, and Ian easily pierced through it.

"Don't even think about it!"

Zephyr roared.

All the Dyna Stone were stored in the ship's hold; how could they let Ian get his hands on them so easily?

He lunged straight towards the hole Ian had fallen through.

But the next instant, a crimson fire giant stood directly in front of him.

"Your opponent is me! A mere mortal!"

Surtur, the fire giant who transformed his entire body into flames of Destruction Flame, roared loudly.

Zephyr suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Red flames!

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the ship, Ian smiled broadly as he looked at the glass pillars inside the sealed water tanks submerged in the hull.

Those egg-shaped rocks inside those glass pillars, are they Dyna Stone?

Now I'm not afraid of anything.
