What a sight it was as countless ships returned to the sea. The fleet stretched beyond the horizon as it sailed across the ocean, looking like a vast, dark island.
Such a spectacle naturally drew the attention of others on the sea. But when they came to investigate and saw the flag flying on the ship at the very front, they all fled in terror.
"Run! That's the Blood Sword Pirates!"
"That's right, that's the legendary Soaring Dragon! Look, it's actually flying in the sky!"
"Run!"
All the pirate crews that had come to investigate out of curiosity withdrew without the slightest hesitation. Ryan's recent accomplishments had simply been too ferocious. Whenever the pirate crews of the New World faced the Blood Sword Pirates, they instinctively felt that they were up against an unstoppable force.
"Is he really that famous out there? They actually ran away the moment they saw the flag on his ship!" After witnessing those pirate attacks, Denjiro and the others grew even more respectful of Ryan. The more they learned, the more terrifying they found him.
Ryan was more than happy to have things this way. It saved him a lot of trouble, after all. Managing so many people was no easy task.
In short, when we treated this world with enough ferocity, it suddenly became gentle and well-mannered.
Ryan now understood the whole principle. Nothing in this world was anything but fearful of the strong and bullying of the weak. If you were strong, it became weak. But if you were weak, it might keep trampling all over you. That was what people called fate!
With Lory around, the New World's stormy weather could not cause much trouble for Wano's fleet. Thus, amid those calm seas, Ryan finally led them to an uninhabited island.
