Beasts United! Let Even the Gods Fear You!

Even with Armament Haki, Ian might not actually be as strong as Teacher Kai.

After all, this is the culmination of decades of experience and skill from Old Deng.

However, Ian has indeed completely surpassed Teacher Kai in terms of Conqueror's Haki.

The strength of Conqueror's Haki is entirely determined by the user's power and spirit.

Since Ian has become stronger than Teacher Kai, it is only natural that his Conqueror's Haki Conqueror's Haki also stronger than Teacher Kai's.

The result of surpassing others in all aspects—strength, speed, agility, defense, and Haki —is...

"It's time to step down and hand over the reins to a more capable person, Teacher Kai!"

Ian flashed across the sky like a shooting star, while Teacher Kai was like a baseball being hit back and forth by him.

The speed was so fast that Teacher Kai had no chance to dodge.

The Observation Kill's Future Sight rendered Teacher Kai's Observation Haki completely ineffective.

The overwhelming Haki and power were so overwhelming that Teacher Kai could only be sent flying when they clashed.

This seems to have fallen to a completely different level.

"Looking at this, I suddenly feel a little sad."

Jack looked up at everything in the sky and suddenly spoke with a sigh.

Kaido I thought was the strongest and most invincible boss when I was a child, is now powerless against Brother Ian.

They were sent flying everywhere.

Perhaps this is what they call a change of the times.

A new era, like that of Brother Ian, will eventually replace the old.

However, Brother Ian's rise to power was a bit too fast.

"Teacher Kai,"

After Ian cleaved Teacher Kai into the air with another sword strike, he chuckled and said, "It's about time to unleash your ultimate move, isn't it? Come on, let's finish this quickly."

"Kid!!"

In the sky, a huge shadow was cast under the sun's rays.

A colossal azure dragon coiled beneath the blue sky, saying, "Then come on! Let me see your strongest power!"

Blazing flames spewed from his mouth, eventually engulfing his body.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous fire dragon was already hovering in the sky, and the intense heat it radiated even caused the ice field below to melt rapidly!

"This!"

Bullet's pupils constricted sharply as he looked at the monster hovering in the sky.

Is this Kaido's true all-out effort?

That's a terrifying move. If you add his Haki to it, I probably won't be able to withstand it in my current form!

"Fire Dragon Great Torch! Rising Dragon!"

The massive head of the dark red fire dragon, resembling flowing lava, was covered with a powerful Two-Color Haki, and it slammed down towards Ian below.

"Flame Eight Trigrams!!"

This was Teacher Kai's strongest attack, a perfect combination of ability and Haki.

The last time Ian faced this move, he had a real headache, Teacher Kai used the regenerative power of the Flame Dragon to counter its destructive power.

At that time, Ian simply transformed Surtur into a gigantic fire giant, causing it to collide with Teacher Kai's fire dragon.

But this time it won't be that complicated.

Ian's body turned into flames, scarlet flames.

The Levantine in my hand also changed color.

At this moment, the Golden Holy Sword transformed into Ruin Demon Blade, wreathed in ominous black patterns.

The enormous fire dragon crashed down upon them at that moment.

Ian simply gripped the Crimson Sword in his hand and slashed downwards.

Without a sound, a crack was cleaved open in the black head of the fire dragon.

Ian brazenly entered the crevice and then flew upwards along the flames.

That could easily vaporize rocks; the terrifyingly high temperatures of the flames were completely useless against him.

Even flames were instantly extinguished the moment they touched him.

Entering the interior of this fire dragon felt like coming home; the intense heat around him actually made him feel more comfortable.

"You brat!"

Teacher Kai, who was also floating inside the fire dragon, was immediately enraged.

Using Haki to strengthen the fire dragon, they attempted to stop Ian's advance.

But of course, it was completely useless; Ian wiped everything away with just two casual sword strikes.

To be honest, purely in terms of hardware, Ian isn't that much better than Teacher Kai.

Teacher Kai is a hexagon, Ian is a slightly larger hexagon.

They can keep Teacher Kai in check, but they can't completely overwhelm him.

Facing Teacher Kai's Fire Dragon form, one might even feel a headache.

However, adding Destruction Flame changes everything.

The Destruction Flame, coupled with an even stronger Haki, brings overwhelming destructive power!

Bullet was completely overwhelmed by Ian, and even Teacher Kai's domineering Haki had no effect.

Ian, who was rushing forward, soon spotted Teacher Kai deep within the Flame Dragon.

"Come on, Ian!!"

At this point, Teacher Kai realized that his disciple's strength had completely surpassed his own, so there was no point in trying to delay any longer.

"Great Vajra - Thunder Bagua!!"

Teacher Kai reverted to his beastman form and launched himself towards Ian like a cannonball.

Ian's lips curled into a smile. "Let's end this master-disciple battle with this move."

Flames erupted from his joints, further enhancing the power of his next sword strike.

Ian also shot out, leaving a scarlet trail!

"Heaven and Earth Ash!!"

Rub!!

The fire dragon shattered instantly.

An invisible blade cleaved it in two, and the out-of-control fire dragon gradually dissipated.

Amidst the exploding flames, half a spiked club spun and flew through the air.

In the direction from which the spiked club flew, Teacher Kai's massive body was falling downwards.

He had a huge wound on his chest.

Parts of the skin, muscles, and bones were wiped away, exposing the internal organs underneath.

"Call--"

Ian out a slow sigh of relief.

If that sword strike hadn't been delivered with full force at the end, Teacher Kai's internal organs would have been cut in half as well.

We won.

Of course they won.

There was absolutely no reason not to win.

His abilities in all aspects have already surpassed Teacher Kai's; it would be strange if he were to get into a tough fight.

Even without using the Destruction Flame, I am now stronger than Teacher Kai.

If one were to use the Destruction Flame and Flame Form, then one would have completely surpassed the level of an Emperor.

I wonder if he's reached the level of Joy Boy back in the day.

That guy must be really strong, right?

As he was thinking this, Ian had already returned to his orc form, flapped his wings and fell like a meteor, grabbing Teacher Kai who was falling.

"Hehehehe, what a satisfying sword strike! Ian!"

Surprisingly, Teacher Kai hadn't fainted yet, but his voice was extremely weak. Although he was still smiling, he said, "This will definitely leave a scar."

"It's not as simple as whether or not it leaves a scar,"

Ian laughed and said, "If we don't hurry and find Princess Mansherry for treatment, we'll die."

His entire chest was cleaved open!

"However, Teacher Kai,"

Ian laughed and said, "I won, right?"

"Of course! Hehehehe!"

Teacher Kai wasn't particularly frustrated or sad; instead, he burst into laughter, "Of course it's my defeat!"

"From this day forward, Ian, you are the captain of the Beasts Pirates!"

"Unite all forces into one, and command this wicked legion!"

"From this day forward, let the heavens fear you, let the gods dread you!"

"Go and become the king who reigns supreme over the entire world, Ian!"

Ian's lips curled into a wide smile. "Who else could it be but me!"

His wings suddenly flapped, and a gale spread in all directions.

On the ice field below, all of his friends looked up at him.

Hancock and Solemn deactivated their powers, allowing some of the pirates to revert to their original forms.

Yamato's frozen state cannot be thawed directly; it can only be thawed slowly over time.

But it didn't matter; the people who had regained their freedom also looked up at the sky, and at the victorious man.

"Starting today,"

Ian proclaimed loudly, his voice carried by the wind across the entire ice field.

Next, it will spread throughout Wano Country, across the entire sea, and eventually resound throughout the whole world.

"I am the captain of the Beasts Pirates!"

The entire room fell silent.

Then.

"Captain Ian!!"

Yamato waved his fist, jumped up with joy, and cheered excitedly.

It was as if the bloated giant that Ian was holding in her hands wasn't her Pops.

"Captain Ian!!"

Hancock looked completely captivated.

Ian looks so handsome today!

He looked ten times, even nine times, more handsome than usual!

"Captain Ian!!!"

The cheers were like a tsunami, spreading in all directions.

It wasn't just the pirates Ian had brought from Hachinosu Island who were cheering; the pirates who had originally followed Teacher Kai in Wano Country were also cheering with immense excitement.

After all, we're all family. Although Lord Ian and Boss Kaido had some conflicts a couple of years ago, they are still master and disciple, and will eventually become father-in-law and son-in-law.

The merging of Wano Country and Hachinosu Island was something that was bound to happen eventually, but it has happened a little earlier than everyone expected.

Besides being well-prepared, Ian's displayed strength was also highly recognized by the pirates of Wano Country!

Although they didn't see the process, Lord Ian wasn't even covered in dust after his victory!

With such power, who else but him should be the leader of the Beasts Pirates?

In the Beasts Pirates, strength reigns supreme—that's an ironclad rule!

Ian looked down at the cheering pirates below, a slight smile playing on his lips.

This damn sense of security.

"Lord Ian! Smile!!"

Below, on the ice field, Morgans was so excited he was almost delirious, his whole body trembling.

But his right hand, holding the Den Den Mushi, remained remarkably steady, its gaze fixed firmly on Ian overhead.

Morgans had no doubt that at this moment, he was witnessing history!

The strongest pirate crew, which will definitely surpass the Rocks Pirates of yesteryear, has been born!

No!

It won't exceed!

It has already exceeded that!

Because at this very moment, the strongest pirate in history was also born!

Ian displayed unprecedented strength!

Even Kaido, who is known as the World's Strongest Creature, was powerless against him!

Kaido's current strength is definitely not much weaker than Rocks' back then!

What Strongest Creature, what strongest man? They're nothing but chickens and dogs compared to Ian now!

Could any other pirates in history have done this?

Before Ian, who dares to claim invincibility, who dares to say they are undefeated?

Ian alone is enough to crush the Rocks Pirates!

He's become so powerful, it's like he's from another dimension!

Morgans was so excited just thinking about publishing these news articles that he almost fainted.

The battle for the Great Treasure seems to be entering its final stages, but where are Ian's opponents now?

Later, Onigashima.

Bullet used his powers to restore the island to its original state.

Of course, there will be some damage from the battle with Teacher Kai, but it's nothing serious; it just means there are a few holes in the skull, which can be easily repaired.

Castle Keep

The executives of the Beasts Pirates gathered together.

Originally, it consisted of Uncle Jhin, Uncle Queen, and the Tobi Roppo, who followed Teacher Kai.

There were also many friends who came with Ian from Hachinosu Island.

Because of the large number of people, the hall, which was spacious enough for even a big guy like Jack Black Maria to move around freely, became somewhat crowded.

Because there are also the giants Solemn and Shimir.

"That's an exaggeration."

Black Maria exclaimed sincerely, "Is this really our Beasts Pirates?"

Kaido, Bullet, and Ian.

These three names alone are enough to inspire fear.

There's also Yamato and Hancock; they're not as strong as the other three, but they're still incredibly powerful.

After that came the core players like King, Queen, Jack, Jinbe, Enel, Solemn, and Kuma.

The number of combat forces below that level is even greater.

The Beasts Pirates' current strength completely surpasses that of the Marine Headquarters, right?

"How?"

Ian sat in the seat that used to belong to Teacher Kai, and asked his mentor, who was drinking to his right, with a smile, "Teacher Kai, how does the Beasts Pirates compare to the Rocks Pirates back then?"

Speaking of which, the Rocks Pirates were ridiculously strong back then.

The combination of Rocks, Whitebeard, Golden Lion sounds terrifying.

Then there's Aunt Linlin, Teacher Kai, Silver Axe, Ochoku —names that strike fear into the hearts of all.

"Hehehehe!"

With the help of Princess Mansherry who rushed to his aid, Teacher Kai's injuries had healed completely. He laughed heartily and said, "The Rocks Pirates aren't a real pirate crew! They're just a bunch of scum banding together for warmth!"

Ian nodded with a smile.

Too.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for God Valley to be so easily defeated.

At the time, the Rocks Pirates ' strength on paper far surpassed that of the Roger Pirates and the Marines led by Chaka.

Their destruction was ultimately caused by internal divisions.

"Without a doubt,"

Ian looked around at all his crewmates and said with a smile, "We are now the World's Strongest, and perhaps the strongest pirate crew in history."

An excited look appeared on everyone's face.

Even the usually arrogant Bullet couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"Therefore, the strongest should do what the strongest should do."

Ian said.

"Hehehe! Are we getting ready to start the operation, Ian!"

Teacher Kai laughed loudly, "Just tell me what you want to do, kid! You're the boss now!"

Ian laughed and said, "Let's expand the space a bit, don't you think it's a little too crowded right now?"

Pirate Emperor.

That word should become history.

At the same time.

Morgans, who had received authorization from Ian, had also begun to take action.

Morgans, who witnessed the entire Beasts Pirates merger battle, immediately sent a press release to headquarters.

Then, the World Economic Journal's various branches, which had already made preparations, instantly sprang into action.

Just half a day later, regardless of whether it was day or night, newspapers began to rain down from the sky as if they were free.

The newspaper headline for that day was as follows:

The strongest person in the world!
