One Piece: The Human-Human Fruit, it makes sense to be an admiral

Ian first helped Cobra and Vivi up.

They are representatives of a country's royal family, and their willingness to kneel before him shows their inner respect for him.

"King Cobra, Princess Weiwei, there's no need to be polite with me."

"It would be absolutely a dereliction of duty on our part as navy to allow a pirate's scheme to succeed."

"If you two really want to thank me, please spare everyone present."

"People who fight to survive deserve respect."

"It's not their intention to be an enemy of the country. They just want to survive. I think that's right."

Ian knew that even if he didn't say this, Cobra knew exactly what to do.

"Lieutenant General Ian, please rest assured. I won't make things difficult for anyone."

As he spoke, Cobra walked quickly to Kosa.

He grabbed his arm with force and dragged him up from the ground.

"Kosa, stand up."

"This matter is not your fault, it's all Crocodile's fault."

"Everyone has suffered a disaster, and it's time to end it all."

"The country needs your support, and I need your support too!"

……

Time to resolve the conflict between the king and the rebels.

Ian didn't really care about it.

Weiwei stared at the figure lying on the ground not far away, and asked with hatred:

"Thank you for your help, Vice Admiral Ian. Is that Crocodile over there?"

Even the simple mention of this name made her feel a surge of anger inside and she couldn't control her emotions at all.

If it weren't for Crocodile, so many tragedies would never have happened.

"Yes, that's him."

"I've already controlled him. Do you want to kill him with your own hands?"

"He's the one I'm going to execute anyway, so I can give you this opportunity."

Ian looked at Weiwei's reaction and asked meaningfully.

Weiwei hesitated for a moment and took a deep breath.

Then he shook his head and said:

"Forget it, leave it to Lieutenant General Ian."

At this point, Ian was a little disappointed.

I had been planning to trick her into coming over to my side so she could be a further help.

Now he gave up the idea.

Faced with Crocodile, who almost overthrew the country and killed so many people, Vivi was too kind-hearted to do anything to him.

When I really got to the battlefield, there were so many strangers and unrelated people.

A slight hesitation can be fatal.

He is not a vase collector. Having a bunch of people who need his protection all the time is not the kind of team he wants at all.

In addition to considering her loyalty, we also need to consider whether she has the ability to fight.

Not long after.

Several figures followed one after another and arrived near the block.

Several agents from the Baroque Works were also captured.

Ian was not surprised, knowing that it would be no problem to give them such a small task.

"Lieutenant General Ian, everything has been resolved."

"The Baroque Works' chief commanding agents gathered in Albana have all been defeated and captured."

"I just contacted Colonel Tina. She will be in Albana in about half an hour."

After Nami came to Ian, she reported the results of the battle to him.

Weiwei stood aside and watched, completely shocked.

These are all Devil Fruit users!

It’s bad enough that Ian was able to win easily, but how could his subordinates also handle it in such a short time?

Even though they had only been apart for a short time, they had already destroyed the core members of the Baroque Works.

In their eyes, the powerful forces of the Grand Line were completely vulnerable.

"Vice Admiral Ian, these are the navy soldiers you brought with you, right?"

"Thank you all for coming all the way here. Are these people on the ground... Crocodile's men?"

"The person who imitated me is also among them, right?"

Seeing so many people showing up, Cobra paused the internal discussion.

He began to bow repeatedly to the people around Ian.

Vivi said that in addition to Ian fighting, Ian's navy team was also attacking Baroque Works.

Now that everyone has completed the mission and eradicated the cancer, Cobra is grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"This is Weiwei's father, Mr. King, right?"

"Hello, Mr. King."

"Hello, Mr. King."

"..."

Ian's subordinates showed their good manners and behaved extremely politely.

"Everyone, please follow me back to the palace."

"I have already made arrangements and set up a feast to entertain you all."

"Also, there are generous gifts. I hope you don't mind..."

Cobra's words were quite unconvincing.

He knew that with Alabasta's current national strength, it could not produce any valuable treasures.

The long-term war has already caused significant damage to the country's national strength.

It will definitely take some time to fully recover.

But after all, they helped them save the country, and not showing any appreciation seems too insincere.

"King Cobra, I will bring my men to the banquet."

"Everyone can leave first. I still need to deal with these pirates."

"Don't worry, they will never appear on the land of Alabasta again."

Ian didn't mince words and just said whatever came to his mind.

He is the one who holds the final say now, so there is no need to drag things out.

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant General Ian. I will arrange everything in the Royal Palace."

"Go ahead and do your thing, but please come and give me a chance to thank you."

Cobra said solemnly.

Even if he didn't say it, Ian wouldn't leave so easily.

He also promised Nico Robin that he would take her to see the historical text hidden in the ruins of the Alabasta Royal Palace.

Ian has no interest in the truth of history.

But he was somewhat interested in ancient weapons that actually existed.

With his understanding of the pirate world, he knew the mermaid princess Shirahoshi and Poseidon.

The Pluto battleship is hidden underground in Wano Country, waiting for the opportunity to see the light of day again.

What exactly is Uranus? Is it a weapon in the hands of the World Government that can destroy an entire island with one shot?

These are still unknown, and it's worth taking the time to find out.

We are lucky to get some information before the decisive battle with the World Government and the Celestial Dragons begins.

I really can't get it, and I didn't intend to count on it, so there's nothing to regret.

After Cobra left, Ian and his subordinates had a private chat.

"Everyone has done a good job. Let's leave these people to Tina."

"Their abilities don't mean much to our team."

"Before handing it over to Tina, keep the blood sample separately."

"Pump more. I've stripped away their five senses. They don't know what to do."

"Skylark, bring your goodies and come with me here. All I want is the Sand-Sand Fruit."

Ian pointed to where Crocodile was lying, and Skylark quickly understood what Ian was going to do next.

No one forgot the purpose of their trip.

Ian was quite frank and revealed his ideas to his subordinates in advance.

While killing Crocodile, take away his natural devil fruit.

As for those ordinary paranormal fruits that are neither fish nor fowl, they may be useful in playing tricks and performing some special tasks.

In the confrontation between strong men, the real effect cannot be reflected at all.
