One Piece : Winged Dragons of the Beast Pirates

Just then, Morgans, who had gone to the stern to make a phone call, hurriedly ran back.

The bird-faced man wore an uncontrollable, excited smile.

"Hehehehehe!!"

Morgans trembled with excitement, "Big news! Lord Ian! Big news! Latest news! Just over half an hour ago, Mary Geoise was attacked again!!"

"Oh?"

Ian raised his head, smiling at the corner of his mouth. "Is that so?"

Has that guy, Dragon, already started his actions?

But it really makes one curious—what kind of deal did he strike to get the stingy Aunt Linlin to agree to let Brûlée help?

A glint of joy also appeared in Tesoro's eyes!

The Celestial Dragons, in trouble again?

Seems like it!

Morgans shook his head regretfully, his tone filled with melancholy. "It's just a pity that we don't know who did it. The World Government has already blocked the news."

"This news will never make it to the newspapers."

The Celestial Dragons are the gods of the world, and no infringement will be tolerated.

Even Mary Geoise, where the Celestial Dragons reside, is a sacred land that must not be glimpsed.

The last time Tiger caused an uproar in Mary Geoise, they didn't cover up the lid, and this time, the World Government will certainly not repeat that mistake.

Ian's lips curled into a smile.

At nearly the same moment, in Mary Geoise, deep within Pangu City, in a room filled with blooming flowers.

A shadow quietly leaned against a large tree with lush branches and leaves.

This mysterious figure was cloaked in a pitch-black robe, making it impossible to see his face, but one could make out a sharp crown atop his head.

At this moment, five people were kneeling before this mysterious figure.

The Five Elders, the five who held the highest authority in the world, known as the highest-ranking Celestial Dragons.

Yet now, they were kneeling before another.

"I'm sorry, Lord Imu," Mars, with a long Kumad, lowered his forehead to the ground in a deep bow, "I couldn't capture that brat, Dragon. He's as elusive as the wind, impossible to stop."

Imu, the true leader of the Celestial Dragons and the King of the World, didn't say a word, nor did he even open his eyes.

Clearly, Dragon was of no concern to him.

"We can no longer tolerate the Revolutionary Army's existence."

Bald-headed Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro spoke solemnly, "Today, they dared to come to Mary Geoise to kidnap someone. What will they dare to do tomorrow? I can't even imagine!"

"Unlike those so-called emperors in the New World, the Revolutionary Army is the only organization in the world that has aimed its blade at the World Government. We can't allow them to continue developing."

"From now on, the World Government's focus will shift to combating the Revolutionary Army. Additionally, during this year's World Conference, we will demand that all allied nations join the effort. We will not give the Revolutionary Army any chance to breathe. We will strike hard and eliminate them once and for all!"

Faced with the impassioned speeches of the Five Elders, Imu didn't react at all, appearing as though he had fallen asleep.

However, the Five Elders understood their king's meaning. There was no objection, so it was as good as approval.

After respectfully exiting the room, the Five Elders let out a slight sigh of relief. Thankfully, Lord Imu wasn't angry.

They exchanged looks, and from here on out, it would be time to take action against the Revolutionary Army.

At any rate, things had calmed down on the New World front for the time being.

The conflict between Ian and Kaido's two Emperors had deepened, and they had reached a stage where their relationship appeared to be merely a façade.

The World Government could now focus all its attention on the Revolutionary Army!

The Revolutionary Army, which had caught the attention of the World Government, the two heroes of the revolution who had just caused a scene in Mariejois, now stood on the Red Line, their expressions more grim with each passing moment.

"Sapphire Scales Disease—"

Dragons squeezed out the words from deep within his throat, "I think I've heard of it. The skin turns blue, and gem-like stones grow out. It can't be exposed to sunlight, and right now, the medical field on the seas has no way to treat it."

Kuma stood bare-chested, his clothes wrapped around Ginny's body, shielding her from the sunlight.

The gentlest man in the world had red, swollen eyes, "Ginny says her condition has become very serious. Even if she never touches sunlight from today onwards, she won't survive much longer."

Dragon rubbed his face, trying to loosen the stiffness.

It shouldn't be like this.

Ginny shouldn't meet such an end, should she?

"I'll help find a doctor."

Dragon said seriously, "The world is so vast. There's always a way. There must be someone who can cure this disease."

But where should they look?

Dragon felt a bit lost himself.

Just then.

Bruh-bru-bru-bru.

The phone bug rang.

Dragon, surprised, pulled out the phone bug from his pocket.

Could it be Ivan calling him at this time?

He answered the call, but the voice that came through wasn't the one he expected from Ivankov.

"I've heard about it, Dragon."

It was a clear, youthful voice, filled with amusement, "You guys have started moving so quickly?"

"Ian?"

Dragon froze in surprise.

How does this guy know so much!?

How long had it been since he and Kuma left Mariejois? Was it even an hour?

"What's going on?"

On the other end of the phone, Ian chuckled lightly, "How did it go? Were you able to rescue that East Army Commander?"

Dragon paused for a moment before softly responding with a hum, "Thank you for the advice, Ian. Our operation went smoothly, truly, I really appreciate it."

Although Ginny was still in a dire situation, Ian's reminder had indeed been very helpful.

"Is that so? Well, that's good to hear."

Ian chuckled again, "No need to thank me. Taking action against the World Government is already the best reward for me."

Dragon suddenly asked, "Ian, I'm curious. We just barely escaped from Mariejois, how did you manage to learn about our operation so quickly?"

Ian's voice was calm, "Please don't underestimate my intelligence network, Dragon. While it may not compare to the World Government's, it's still quite effective."

Intelligence!

Dragon took a deep breath.

What they needed most right now was intelligence!

Intelligence about how to cure the Sapphire Scales disease!

Dragon looked up at Kuma, and just then, Kuma also looked down at him.

"Ian, though it may sound presumptuous now,"

Dragon spoke sincerely, "but could I ask you for one more favor?"

"Go ahead," Ian's voice grew slightly more serious, "If it's something simple, I can consider it, but if it's too difficult, then maybe not."

"Could you help us find a doctor?"

Dragon pleaded, "Ginny has contracted a terminal illness! The mainstream medical techniques in the seas can't cure it! We need the very best doctor!"

If they knew where Vegapunk was, they could ask for his help.

But the problem was, they had no idea where he was. The World Government had hidden him too well!

So, they had no choice but to turn to Ian, who had excellent intelligence capabilities.

This guy had been able to learn what happened in Mariejois in just one hour, so his intelligence network was definitely not something to underestimate.

"Doctor?"

Ian's voice sounded a bit odd. "Well, you're asking the right person, Dragon. The best doctor in the world is right here with me."

"What?"

Dragon couldn't help but exclaim.

"Mr. Ian, are you serious?"

Kuma couldn't stop himself from lowering his head and leaning closer to the snail phone, anxiously asking.

On the other end, Ian's voice sounded almost like a divine whisper.

"Have you ever heard of the Op-Op Fruit?"

It was an ordinary voice, but it made Kuma instantly burst into tears.

The Op-Op Fruit, a legendary ability that allows a doctor to perform miraculous surgeries!

Yes, a miracle!

Only a miracle could save Ginny now!

On Ian's side, he hung up the phone.

The people on the deck were all a bit confused.

Morgans was the first to react. He was so excited that his feathers almost stood on end. He rushed up to Ian. "Lord Ian! So, everything was planned by you? Tell me all the details!"

Tesoro's eyes were also red with excitement.

As expected, following this man was the right choice!

Today, he had dared to provoke the Revolutionary Army to cause trouble at Mariejois; who knew what he would dare to do tomorrow!

Lord Ian, forever a god!

There was only one person with a dark expression, and that was Hanafuda, who had been thrown onto the deck.

His face had completely drained of color.

He had already lost any use for Ian, and now, hearing such a secret, there was no way out for him.
