Captive! Drake's Change! Law's Demand!

Major General Gion let out a bloodcurdling scream that was unlike anything in human form.

In just a moment, a hole was torn in her stomach.

At this point, all that's needed is to push the Sword of Destruction forward one more time, and a huge hole will be ripped open from the stomach to the lower back of this arrogant female navy officer.

but.

Ian glanced at Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was rushing over anxiously.

Ultimately, they abandoned that decision.

He conjured a golden spiked club with his other hand and slammed it down with all his might, shouting, "Thunder Bagua!"

The golden spiked club struck Major General Gion squarely on the forehead.

The terrifying temperature scorched the woman's long, black hair, and the astonishing power caused Gion was completely unable to defend herself, to faint instantly.

He grabbed the woman's shoulder to prevent her from falling into the sea, and then slowly looked Ian Vice Admiral Tsuru who was flying towards them.

"Stop, Granny Tsuru, if you don't want your little sister to die."

Vice Admiral Tsuru stopped immediately, and the 61-year-old woman frowned deeply.

They defeated Gion in such a short time.

At least in this state, when wielding the red weapon, this kid's strength is even greater than his own.

"Don't worry, I won't kill her."

Ian said.

The Beasts Pirates were certainly not prepared to go to war with the Navy.

"Perhaps we can talk business?"

"Business?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru asked, "What is there to talk about between pirates and the Navy?"

"Don't you want her to live?"

Ian waved the unconscious Gion in his hand. The Phoenix's time limit had expired, and he reverted to his Golden Winged Man form. "Anyway, wait for my news."

"And also, don't chase after us."

Without hesitation, Ian flapped his wings and flew forward, flames shooting out, disappearing into the distance like a fighter jet.

There's no way you can catch up with them even if you want to.

Vice Admiral Tsuru remained in the sky, his expression somewhat bitter.

This is troublesome.

We still don't know what this kid wants to exchange Gion for.

However, being able to trade is at least a good thing.

It's good that Gion is alright.

When Ian returned to Germa, Yamato and the others were already waiting for him in the square behind the gate.

"Ian!!"

Yamato watched Ian fall from the sky and angrily retorted, "Didn't you say it was all over?"

The little girl glared angrily at Gion, who was being carried by Ian.

That's despicable!

They told me to leave, but then they went off to enjoy the fight themselves!

Ian, you're so despicable now!

"This guy deliberately chased after me to his death."

Ian maintained his innocence.

He really didn't want to fight anymore.

"What a convenient way to chase after someone and die!"

Doflamingo had already given up on being amazed by Ian, but at this moment he still couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

The Navy's future star, just like that, casually caught?

"That's truly remarkable, Mr. Ian!"

Umit showered her with compliments once again, "This woman is the most outstanding new generation in the Navy!"

"Clearly, she's not outstanding enough."

Ian gave a perfunctory reply, then looked at Judge, "Judge, this woman can't die yet. Can you treat her? Her injuries are quite severe."

With a large piece missing from her stomach, whether she can still be Mama is another matter, but whether she can still poop is the key issue.

"I'm ready for surgery immediately!"

Judge nodded quickly, "Don't worry, even if she wanted to die, I would make sure she lived with this injury!"

Yes, it has the air of a top scientist about it.

So, Judge immediately called a team of nurses, who carried Gion, and Judge hurriedly went to prepare for the surgery.

"But Brother Ian, why did you bring this woman back?"

Jack was puzzled. "Wouldn't it be better to just kill her?"

"That would be such a shame."

Ian said, "This woman holds a high position in the Navy; I plan to use her in a deal with them."

"Trade?"

Doflamingo leaned closer, "What are you planning to trade?"

"I haven't decided yet."

Ian said.

How can I possibly figure this out?

I never even thought about it.

I was originally planning to leave, but this guy just showed up at my door.

We'll talk about it later.

"Don't we still have important business to attend to?"

Ian said.

"Fufufufu, yes, there's more important business to attend to."

Doflamingo was clearly smiling, but his entire face was stiff and radiating murderous intent.

They returned to the same reception room they had just been in.

This place is a bit messy, as if a battle had taken place.

It's not just "seems"; a battle definitely took place here before.

Donquixote Rosinante, Doflamingo's good brother, was now tied up and sitting on the ground in a sorry state, his face covered with marks left by beatings.

Standing next to him was a man, a gentleman in a suit, Senor Pica.

Rosinante's eyes were dark.

Before Drake could even do anything else, Senor, the Devil Fruit User, emerged from the ground and gave him a sound beating.

"Young Master, it's confirmed."

Senor calmly told Doflamingo, "Rosinante is a Navy spy planted in the family; he can even talk."

"Fufufufu! Really? That's great news!"

Doflamingo laughed heartily and walked up to Rosinante. "Rosinante, my brother, you've saved me quite a few surprises."

Rosinante paused for a moment, then looked up at Drake, who was standing against the wall. "I'm just heartbroken that a child who should have had a bright future has been corrupted by you."

"Fuck fuck fuck! Pollution?"

Doflamingo laughed maniacally, then suddenly sprang into action, kicking Rosinante in the chin, sending the man flying into the air and crashing headfirst into the wall, instantly drawing blood.

"Even the kids know the government and navy are rotten garbage, yet you're trampling on my only remaining family ties because of that!"

"You've broken my heart, Rosinante!"

Rosinante fell to the ground, his body convulsing, but he did not speak.

At this point, what else is there to say?

"Call--"

Doflamingo let out a long sigh of relief. "Diamante, this guy is yours. I need to know everything about him over the years."

"Leave it to me?"

The man named Diamante pointed at himself in astonishment, then shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no! I can't do it! Doflamingo!"

Ian felt a strong sense of déjà vu.

Doflamingo was already used to this; he calmly said, "Then Pica-- "

"Leave it to me!"

Diamante suddenly shouted, "I'll interrogate this guy until he knows everything! Even if it means crushing every bone in his body inch by inch!"

I think it's difficult.

Ian shook his head.

He walked towards the guy in the corner, towards Drake.

How are you feeling?

Ian asked.

"The Navy's so-called justice is bullshit."

Drake was practically gritting his teeth.

Just like when an idol's career collapses, the more they were admired before, the more they are now hated.

"You should have realized this sooner."

Ian smiled and said, "The Navy's justice is the Celestial Dragons ' justice. Maintaining the Celestial Dragons ' rule is the Navy's primary mission."

"And the Celestial Dragons are the cancer of the entire world."

"Even disregarding the triennial massacre, the Celestial Gold alone are terrifying enough. Countless countries have been torn apart and countless families destroyed because of Celestial Gold. Compared to the Celestial Dragons, what are we pirates?"

"There are countless pirates on the high seas. Are all pirates ambitious? Are all pirates after the Great Treasure? Are all pirates born villains?"

"I think there's another reason: being desperate."

"..."

Drake didn't speak; he just clenched his teeth.

He believed he understood his father's thoughts.

Of course not, his Pops was simply a pleasure-seeker.

Is the World Government your enemy?

Drake asked Ian.

"Certainly."

Ian nodded slightly. "The greatest, and probably the final enemy."

"Then let me join this war too!"

He no longer knew what true justice was, but he thought that overthrowing the World Government shouldn't be a bad thing.

"Welcome, Drake."

Ian ruffled the guy's hair.

Hmm, it seems a bit odd that a thirteen-year-old boy is rubbing the head of an eighteen-year-old older brother.

But if no one says so, then it doesn't exist.

"Let me join too!"

Another child came over.

Luo!

Trafalgar Law walked over and stared intently at Ian.

"Oh?"

Ian raised an eyebrow and looked at Doflamingo.

"Hey Luo, are you thinking of switching jobs?"

Doflamingo chuckled softly, "That's betrayal, you know."

"Compared to you,"

Luo simply looked at Ian and said, "Following this man will only lead to more destruction."

His life was nearing its end.

Therefore, he wanted to seize the time to cause more destruction.

"It seems quite interesting."

So Ian said, "Give the kid to me, Doflamingo."

"I don't care,"

Doflamingo wasn't bothered. This kid might have some talent, but... "Ian, he's infected with Lead Disease; he only has a little over two years to live."

"It doesn't matter."

Ian said, "I will heal him."

Will you cure me?

Luo was taken aback.

"In short, welcome to the Beasts Pirates, Law."

Ian also extended an invitation to the kid.

"... Um."

Luo nodded somewhat awkwardly.

hiss.

Drake, Sanji, Law.

I picked up three little devils on this trip.

Oh no, there are two. Drake is the older brother.

Although Doflamingo's attempt to uncover the Celestial Dragons ' secret came to nothing, it was still quite a worthwhile deal, wasn't it?
