One Piece : Winged Dragons of the Beast Pirates

Ian flapped his wings and flew through the air. He saw two streams of people, clearly divided, coming towards him from two different directions.

They were even shouting completely different slogans.

"Humans! Get out of Fish-Man Island!"

And,

"Lord Ian, let us join the Beast Pirates!"

Everyone was so enthusiastic.

It was like a gathering between White and Black.

Seems like I, Ian, have become a celebrity now.

"Ian! What's that! Look! It's huge!"

Before the two groups of Fish-Men got any closer, a surprised shout from Yamato came from below.

The girl raised her hand and pointed into the distance.

Ian looked up, and in the distance beyond the massive bubble that covered Fish-Man District, a colossal object stood there quietly.

It was…

"A ship?"

Law was almost dumbfounded.

It was too big!

It was almost as if it were an island!

If you didn't look closely, you might instinctively mistake it for a mountain!

But upon closer inspection, they realized it was a ship! A gigantic sea vessel!

Its width was measured in kilometers, and the height was at least several kilometers tall.

"What exactly is that?"

Maria couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

It was hard to fathom how such a massive ship could even be built.

Could there really be wood strong enough to support a ship of this scale without breaking apart?

Viola was even more speechless, staring in awe and excitement.

Since leaving Dressrosa, every day had brought new, unimaginable sights.

Perhaps being a pirate isn't so bad?

"That's Noah."

At this moment, Fish-Man Jack, who had come to Fish-Man Island for the first time, suddenly spoke up. "When I was very young, I heard my mother mention it. It's the Ship of Promise, and it has been docked here for a long time."

"Promise?"

Law asked instinctively, "Whose promise is it?"

"I don't know."

Jack snorted.

He wasn't as learned as Brother Ian.

"It's said to be from 800 years ago, when the Mermaid Princess made a promise with someone."

As a native, Neptune explained, "This ship was born because of that promise."

"So, what exactly was the promise?"

Law became even more curious.

"I don't know that either."

Neptune shook his head, "That's from a time too long ago. No one knows."

Saying that was the same as saying nothing.

Law's lips twitched, only making him more intrigued.

Ian chuckled lightly. Of course, it was the promise between Joy Boy and the Mermaid Princess.

As for the details of the promise, anyone could probably guess.

Maybe it was about moving Fish-Man Island to the surface of the sea or something like that.

But Ian didn't care.

He wasn't interested in such things.

All he knew was that as long as he could eliminate Imu, destroy the World Government, and gain the strongest power, the greatest authority, and the most wealth, he would finally achieve ultimate peace of mind.

And now, this was the moment to bring that ultimate peace closer.

Ian lowered his head.

"Ian-sama! Let us join the Beast Pirates!"

A group of fishmen, their faces filled with excitement, rushed over from a side street ahead.

"Are these guys this enthusiastic?"

Law was confused.

Was it just one word from Ian that had made these fishmen go so crazy?

Or was it that Queen Otohime's reputation was that high?

"What foolish talk are you saying?"

Jack said matter-of-factly, "We are the Beast Pirates!"

Law was stunned.

Then he thought for a moment.

He understood.

That's right, just the name of the Beasts Pirates is enough.

This is one of the strongest pirate crews in the world, located at the peak of the New World.

Aside from the Marine Headquarters and the World Government, only the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates could rival the Beasts Pirates!

And the government and the Marines would never recruit Fishmen.

So, the Beasts Pirates are the strongest force the Fishmen can access!

Considering the pirates at the harbor who wanted to join the Beasts Pirates earlier, the actions of these Fishmen are easy to understand.

After all, there are always those who seek to curry favor.

Of course, it wasn't just the Fishmen wanting to join the Beasts Pirates who were approaching.

"Get out of Fish-Man District! Humans!"

Another group of Fishmen turned into the street from the other side, angrily shouting as they looked up at Ian in the sky, "You are not welcome here!"

However, Ian didn't even need to speak. These Fishmen's attitudes immediately angered their fellow Fishmen.

"Bastards! What are you saying? Do you want to stop us from joining the Beasts Pirates?"

"Get out of our way! Don't cause trouble! Don't disturb Lord Ian!"

At this point, even the Fishmen who had been cursing Ian before were laughing at these spineless fellows.

"Damn bastards! Are you going to bow to this human?"

"Don't you have any pride as Fishmen?"

The two groups instantly started to argue, and the crossroad became the battlefield for their confrontation.

As the insults escalated, it seemed like a fight was about to break out.

"Stop it!"

At the critical moment, Neptune, riding a whale, stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Are you really going to fight amongst yourselves, brothers?"

"Brothers?"

One Fishman from the group of black-hearted pirates sneered, "You dare say that, Neptune! Isn't it you and your wife who sold your own brothers to the Beasts Pirates? The immigration plan? Bullshit! It's just slave trading! Not satisfied with the pace of human traffickers? You're personally going to be the suppliers, huh?"

Behind him, a large number of Fishmen joined in with angry shouts, "Die, Neptune!" 

"You should die!"

Neptune's face turned pale, then flushed red.

Then.

"Neptune does deserve to die, but don't slander Lord Ian!"

White Hearted Pirates argued loudly.

"That's right! Neptune does deserve to die, but this is the strongest Beast Pirates! How could they be involved in slave trading!"

The two sides began arguing once again.

Neptune, who was considered deserving of death by both sides, sighed. He had no way out.

Fish-Man Island had long since broken away from the control of Ryugu Castle, and as its king, he received no respect here.

Neptune could only tilt his head back and look at Ian.

It's your turn to perform.
