Doflamingo's First Impressions of Wano Country

In the blink of an eye, Ian, trailing a long tail flame like a fighter jet, had disappeared into the horizon.

You can't catch up, you simply can't catch up.

Kuzan could only sigh.

His speed wasn't slow at all; if he were running on the ground, he could keep up with Ian, but if it came to chasing him with Geppo, there was absolutely no way he could catch up.

However, catching up doesn't seem to make much sense.

Her ice was basically useless to him.

Even Sakazuki's magma might not be effective.

Given the temperature of the flames this guy controls, it's hard to say whether Sakazuki's lava could burn him.

So, is Borsalino the only option left?

Kuzan thought to himself.

He landed gently on the ground, casually placing the chained Major General Gion upright on the ground, while simultaneously touching the Gion binding Gion.

The tough chains specially made by Judge were instantly covered with a layer of azure frost. Then, Kuzan casually tapped the chains, and the chains, which even Gion could not break with brute force, shattered instantly.

Even the strongest metals become brittle in abnormally low temperatures.

"That kid really doesn't know what it means to cherish a beautiful woman."

Kuzan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Gion's hair, which looked like it had been chewed by a dog.

What a beautiful girl, and you've made her look like a madwoman.

He said he was a feminist.

Gion whispered.

"Feminist?"

Kuzan couldn't help but laugh.

But she felt it wasn't appropriate to laugh out loud in front of Gion, so she tried to suppress it.

The person is in a superposition of being able to tense up and being unable to tense up, which can be described as "Kuzan's tension".

"Senior Kuzan,"

Gion looked up; the woman's face was apologetic. "I'm sorry."

"Alala, since you want to sincerely apologize,"

Kuzan chuckled, then smiled confidently, "Then come on a date with me, Gion."

"Please forgive my refusal, Senior Kuzan,"

Major General Gion replied without hesitation, "I still prefer handsome men."

Senior Kuzan, who was always pursuing his own Kake, but only slightly.

"Forehead--"

Kuzan felt as if he had been shot in the heart.

"However, Senior Kuzan,"

Gion's mood soared again. "The government is making a deal with the Beasts Pirates, and it's been going on for a long time."

"..."

Kuzan's strange expression gradually disappeared, and his face became calm. He said, "Wano Country is the main source of Seastone, I think everyone knows that."

"..."

Gion remained silent.

Some of the Marine Headquarters ' warships have recently undergone modifications, with Seastone embedded in their hulls.

Why didn't we think about where such a large quantity of Seastone came from before?

"That guy also said that the Celestial Dragons are a scourge on the world..."

Gion wanted to clarify things further.

But Kuzan interrupted her, "It doesn't matter what anyone says, Gion, go see for yourself."

Go see?

Gion was slightly taken aback.

Senior Kuzan.

She looked at the man in front of her.

His eyes were hidden behind sunglasses and could not be seen clearly.

Gion suddenly remembered Senior Kuzan before the Ohara Incident; back then, he was full of passion, like a ball of fire despite being ice.

But after that day, everything changed.

Is Senior Kuzan watching too?

Ian, of course, was unaware of the exchange between the two. He streaked through the air in a long trail of fire as he sped forward.

After confirming that Kuzan was not chasing after him, Ian opened the box and took out the fruit inside.

Although Vegapunk stubbornly believed that this Devil Fruit was a failure, in reality, the only thing that was not completely replicated was the color.

This is a genuine Mythical Zoan!

The Mythical Zoan Fish-Fish Fruit, Azure Dragon—no, Pink Dragon —well, let's just call it the Red Dragon Form.

Aside from the color, it's no different from Teacher Kai's ability.

There's just one more problem.

Who should receive this fruit?

Yamato was the most suitable candidate; as a daughter, it was only natural that she would inherit Teacher Kai's abilities.

However, Yamato is already a Devil Fruit user.

Are we going to feed it to the pirate crew's children?

But it doesn't seem worth it.

The Azure Dragon Fruit is a top-tier Mythical Zoan, and it's entirely possible for it to give rise to a fighter of Four Emperors level.

In Ian's opinion, among all the kids around him, only Law and Sanji are truly qualified to eat this fruit.

Of the two, Law is more suited to the Op-Op Fruit, while Sanji, as a genetic warrior, doesn't really need Devil Fruit abilities.

Oh well, I already have the fruit in my hands. I'll deal with it when I meet the right person. There's no need to rush.

Ian flapped his wings and quickly caught up with Babanuki and the others.

Not long after that, they encountered the Donquixote Family's fleet.

"Wow! Ian! This trip was a huge success!"

Doflamingo looked at the five naval warships with a hint of envy.

"Just a few ships."

Ian remained calm and composed.

Doflamingo thought he was faking it, but that was the truth.

The fruit is the most important thing.

"Let's go back to Wano Country."

Ian said.

So they set sail back towards Wano Country.

On the way, Umit said goodbye, as he had to go back to his business.

After another week or so of sailing, the towering cliffs of Wano Country finally came into Ian's view.

Wano Country is back.

As usual, we entered the Port of Stealth and stopped the ship here. Most of the Donquixote Family remained in the Port of Stealth; there was no need for them to set sail for Wano Country.

Only Doflamingo, along with a few of his subordinates and Ian and the others, boarded the massive elevator.

"What a wonderful place!"

On the elevator, Doflamingo exclaimed, "With such a geographical advantage, it's no wonder the Whitebeard Pirates didn't dare to directly attack Wano Country."

Even a seasoned veteran like him was like this, so Law, Sanji, and Drake looked around in astonishment.

Once on land, as they traveled by car to Jinbu Port, their astonishment became even more palpable.

In the massive factory, workers move in and out like ants.

Outside the factory, the town was bustling with merchants, residents, and children, all making a noisy commotion.

Agricultural machinery roared as it harvested crops in the Tanaka.

In a word, it's damn modernization.

Doflamingo's expression turned strange. "To be honest, Ian, this Wano Country isn't quite what I imagined."

He originally thought that Wano Country, if not a place of widespread suffering, should at least be a place of dire straits.

What, is this what it looks like?

Drake's eyes trembled.

The Beasts Pirates are nothing like he imagined!

They actually governed this country very well.

Ian simply said, "Human beings are the most valuable resource. Even I, a pirate, know that the foundation of civilization is ordinary people. Only when they can survive can a country and society develop."

Doflamingo was completely stunned.

Ian, so you're a philosopher after all?

Drake's eyes lit up.

Could it be that the Beasts Pirates are the ones who are truly righteous?

In any case, to their surprise, the group transferred to a sea vessel at Jinbu Port and sailed straight to Onigashima.

Upon first seeing Onigashima, its peculiar shape astonished the Donquixote Family and the three newlyweds.

Is this really not hand-carved?

The group disembarked at the port, where the pirates on the dock all greeted Ian respectfully.

Then.

Wow!

Screams echoed from the gate of the Onigashima.

Several pirates flew out of the gate like cannonballs.

Then.

"Um?"

Ian raised an eyebrow.

Two dragons, two dinosaurs, swaggered out from behind the door.

"Who else!"

A smaller dinosaur with a swollen bump on its head roared loudly.

"Aww!"

Beside her, a larger and much more Spinosaurus roared loudly.

The pirates who were knocked away by them didn't dare to fight back, got up and ran away in a flash.

"Another Ancient Zoan?"

Doflamingo raised an eyebrow.

He knew that Jack and Black Maria, who were by Ian's side, were Ancient Zoan Ancient Zoan, as were the big names Jhin and Queen.

Now, there are two new Ancient Zoan here.

I must say, they truly live up to their name Beasts Pirates.

Ian's lips twitched slightly.

You two are pretty quick.

"Brother Ian!"

Upon noticing Ian and his group, the two dragons instantly reverted to Ulti and Page One, cheering as they pounced on Ian, each grabbing one of his legs.

So small!

Doflamingo was astonished.

Two more little devils!

Does Ian have another role in the Beasts Pirates: babysitter?

"Xiao Run, Page One, are you both ability users now?"

Before Ian could speak, Yamato had already impatiently asked a question.

Page One whispered, "My sister took me there; we stole it."

"Those guys are too much trouble! We need to get stronger!"

Ulti argued vehemently, showing no sign of feeling that her behavior was wrong.

Wow, you're quite ambitious.

"What did Teacher Kai say?"

Ian wasn't surprised; in the original story, the two siblings gained their abilities through the same method.

"Boss Kaido said that if we fail to live up to these two abilities, he will kill us!"

Ulti exclaimed, "We will never let him down!"

"Um."

Page One was also timid, but nodded resolutely.

That's very much in Teacher Kai's style.

However, it's not necessarily a bad thing, as this is an ability they possessed in the original work.

"It's good that you have this determination."

Ian ruffled the hair of the siblings.

"Hey-hey."

Ulti made a happy, sticky sound like a kitten.

"Oh, by the way, I've made a few new friends,"

Ian prepared to introduce Sanji and the others to the siblings.

but.

"Ian!!"

The earth trembled. Ian looked up and saw a gigantic yellow Brachiosaurus charging towards him like a massive ship, crashing down on him. "You little brat, you actually dared to cooperate with Judge! I'll never forgive you!"

"Fufufufu, Queen?"

Doflamingo chuckled, "He seems pretty angry."

"Not only are they cooperating with Judge, but they even dare to offer a higher bounty than me!"

You haven't forgotten about this?

Ian sighed.

Uncle Queen, he really holds a grudge.

He took two steps forward, and his body suddenly expanded, forming a huge Golden Flying Dragon that stretched across the dock.

Ian raised his hands and caught Uncle Queen head-on as he crashed into him.

The two enormous objects collided with a deafening roar, and for a moment, the entire dock shook violently.

However, Ian did not back down an inch.

In terms of strength, he's no less capable.

Then, Ian gripped Uncle Queen's neck tightly with both hands.

He used his legs to generate power, which was then transmitted through his waist to his arms, and then Ian swung backward with all his might.

"Whoa!!"

Uncle Queen exclaimed in surprise, and flew into the air like a cannonball, then crashed into the sea outside the dock like a meteorite, splashing up a sky full of waves.

Ian regained his composure, turned around, and looked at the surging waves on the sea.

Uncle Queen, this is what happens when you can't fly.

Then, Ian looked at the bewildered pirates on the dock and said, "What are you all standing there for? Go and fish Uncle Queen out."

"Yes!"

The pirates then seemed to wake from a dream and jumped into the sea one after another to rescue Queen, who had fallen overboard.

Doflamingo's lips twitched.

Is this the Beasts Pirates? They certainly have a strong sense of martial spirit.

"Ian, Mr. Kaido says he wants to see you immediately."

Ian turned around, and Uncle Jhin was standing at the front door.

Jin then looked at Doflamingo, "And you, get ready. After Ian, it's your turn."

Doflamingo glanced at King from head to toe. King, the Inferno Disaster Calamity? Another monster.

But are they completely indifferent to the conflict between Ian and Queen?

"Fufufufu, I can't wait!"

He smiled.

"I'll be right there."

Ian knew that Teacher Kai must have a lot to say to him.

He glanced at Yamato, knowing that this guy wouldn't be going to see Teacher Kai at this time anyway. "Take Sanji and the others around to see Onigashima, and introduce Jun and Page One to them while you're at it."

"Leave it to me!"

Yamato takes on everything.

Ian nodded slightly; he knew that Teacher Kai must have a lot to say to him.
