Wapol, dead!
With Doberman killed, the other naval forces were no match for Ivan.
He leaped to the magnetic instrument, destroyed it with a single punch, and then unleashed a barrage of Flying Thunder God Daggers into the Sky Manipulation.
The location of the Flying Thunder God Dagger is his location. To outsiders, Ivan's figure constantly flashes and disappears in the port, and whenever he appears, a dazzling crimson flower also appears.
Naval officers' lives are like weeds, and Ivan is a sharp scythe. Without much effort, he can sweep away all the weeds in sight.
In just a moment, all the officers were taken down by Ivan. Because the takedown was so fast, some of the marines didn't even have time to react before realizing that the situation was hopeless.
After everything was over, Ivan's black cloak was spotless, and apart from being slightly tattered, it remained unchanged.
He casually tossed the severed head aside and walked toward the veterans at the edge of the harbor.
Ahead, hundreds of sailors were still aiming their flintlock muskets at Ivan.
However, the guns in their hands could no longer give them a sense of security.
Faced with the monsters of the sea, flintlock pistols were no different from toys; even if Ivan stood still and let them fire at him, they couldn't break through Ivan defenses.
In this situation, for every step Ivan took forward, the navy took a step back.
Due to limited space, the navy personnel quickly huddled together with nowhere to retreat. As Ivan stepped forward, they scrambled and tumbled, forcibly making way for Ivan.
Surrounded by numerous navy personnel, Ivan walked up to the barely standing veteran and said with a smile, "Come with me, I'll fulfill your request right away."
The veteran realized something, and his expression suddenly became agitated. He followed Ivan toward the port office in the distance.
Inside the port office, Wapol's expression shifted from initial joy to terror. As he saw Ivan approaching, he immediately realized what Ivan intended to do.
"No, don't kill me!" Wapol crashed through the wall and fled into the distance.
But as soon as he turned around, it was as if he had bumped into an indestructible wall. Slowly looking up, he saw the terrifying man in the cloak standing right in front of him.
"Well..."
Ivan grabbed Wapol by the neck and walked toward the retired old man, while Wapol tried to break free along the way.
He attacked Ivan, who twisted all four of his limbs off Ivan. He threatened that killing the king of Affiliated Nation would lead to a full-scale manhunt by the World Government, but Ivan responded by saying that his companion had already killed a Celestial Dragons.
After trying all sorts of methods, Wapol had no more solutions.
As he drew closer to the point of being discharged from the military, overwhelmed by fear, he finally lost his mind and roared madly:
"No, I am the king! How can I die because of these lowly people! You madman, let me go! Let me go!"
At that moment, Ivan walked up to Wapol and swung his hand chop, sending Wapol's head flying into the air, splattering a large amount of blood onto the veteran.
However, the veteran showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he burst into laughter, a loud, almost manic laugh.
After a moment, he finally came to his senses and knelt down before Ivan, saying, "Thank you so much, thank you so much!"
Ivan didn't stop the veteran. He looked around and said coldly, "Release all those slaves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the navy officers sprang into action, as if his words carried more weight than those of Vice Admiral Doberman.
With the combined efforts of many marines, all the slaves were quickly freed, and the retired veteran was reunited with his granddaughter.
Ivan met the girl, who was about his age. She was smiling sweetly and seemed to have a gentle personality.
After all the slaves were freed, Ivan activated the Flying Thunder God Mark, disappeared from his original spot, and appeared on the warship transporting the Heavenly Tribute, where he moved chests of Beli to a secluded location.
At the same time, he also obtained two Devil Fruits!
After settling the kidnapped slaves, Ivan left the port and reappeared on the castle atop the mountain.
As soon as he appeared, he noticed the reindeer and the doctor standing on the edge of the cliff.
He walked over to the two men and stood beside them, discovering that he could see the harbor from there.
If Ivan's eyesight were any better, he could see the entire battle in the harbor. With Ivan's keen eyesight, Wapol's headless corpse lying on the ground seemed as if it were right in front of him.
"Waaaaah..."
A sob came from beside him, growing louder and louder until Chopper could no longer suppress the emotions welling up inside him and burst into tears.
He turned his head and hugged Ivan tightly, muttering something indistinctly, probably about father and revenge.
After a moment, the sobbing stopped, Chopper raised his head, his eyes filled with tears. "Thank you, Tanuki!"
"If you want to thank me, become an excellent doctor. Perhaps one day in the future, I will come to you for treatment."
Chopper nodded seriously, his blue nose glistening in the sunlight. "I promise!"
Next, Ivan used absolute force to completely seize power in the Drum Kingdom.
He approached Dalton and offered him the throne of the Drum Kingdom, renaming it the Sakura Kingdom Drum Kingdom.
All of this was supposed to happen a year later, but Ivan's arrival brought it forward by a year.
I wonder if, after Luffy to Drum Island, without those experiences as a bond, he will be able to bring Chopper onto the ship and find his own ship doctor.
These thoughts flashed through Ivan's mind, but he stopped thinking about them.
If we can't find him, we can't find him. Ivan never placed his hopes of saving the world on Luffy.
Leaving aside the question of whether it is cruel to a boy to entrust him with such an important task without his consent.
He himself will not place his hopes on others; the future of the sea will be in his own hands!
News of the events on Drum Island quickly reached Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.
Upon learning of the robbery of the Heavenly Tribute, Brannew did not hesitate for a moment and rushed straight to the Fleet Admiral's Office.
He flung open the office door, slamming it against the wall with a deafening crash.
Sengoku stopped working, looked up unhappily, glanced at the panicked Brannew, and said with displeasure:
"Brannew, no matter what happens, don't panic. Only by dealing with it calmly can you solve the problem."
Tell me, what happened that made you so flustered?
Brannew took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and calmed down:
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I have just received a secret report from Drum Island."
Not long ago, Tanuki appeared on Drum Island, killed Vice Admiral Doberman, brutally murdered King Wapol of the Drum Kingdom, and stole a total of 11.3 billion Beli of Heavenly Tribute, including two Devil Fruits!
"Pfft!" Sengoku couldn't swallow his tea and spat it out, utterly shocked. "What did you say? The Heavenly Tribute was stolen by the Shadow Garden!"
