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

"He is not only your friend, he is also my friend."

"Without him, Bonnie's illness could not be cured."

"He is my benefactor!"

Even what Vegapunk did was mixed with a lot of exchanges of interests.

But in Big Bear's heart, he has always been very grateful to Vegapunk.

Without Ian and Dragon's instructions, Big Bear would find a way to help Vegapunk on his own.

So, when he learned that he was asked to pick up Vegapunk, Big Bear agreed immediately.

According to Ian's prior plan.

If Ian could survive, Vegapunk would become a scientist on his team.

Ian provided the money to support Vegapunk's research, so he could rest assured about the future.

If Ian hadn't returned, Vegapunk could have stayed in the White Earth.

The research conditions may not be that good, but they will not be easily captured by the World Government.

Unless the Revolutionary Army is destroyed, Vegapunk will suffer a devastating blow.

On the retreat route, Ian had made enough arrangements for Vegapunk.

And Vegapunk also has something that he must help Ian complete.

That is to give the Seraph created by Ian to Kuma and transport it to Wano Country.

With Big Bear's ability, he can instantly relocate the Seraphim and easily bring them to the designated location.

If we act in advance, the Seraph cannot be sent to Wano Country.

It is difficult to guarantee whether Wano Country was full of World Government agents during the period when Ian was under surveillance.

Even Yamato, Stussy, Nico Robin and others arranged by Ian were restricted in their movements and only stayed in the general's mansion.

If we send Seraph over there again and it is really discovered, all our plans may be wasted.

Ian was unable to go and get the Seraph himself, so he could only ask Big Bear to send the Seraph out when he rescued Vegapunk.

"Are you really not going to let Bonnie... move out of Wano Country first?"

Dorag tried asking again, wanting to see if the bear would change his mind.

The big bear just continued to smile and did not respond to Dorag's words.

Dorag told Big Bear to act with peace of mind and not to have any worries.

If he went to Wano Country and found Bonnie in danger, he would definitely do his best to protect her.

People who are strong don't need protection.

But ordinary people naturally need each other's help to be able to barely fight against the strong...

……

The Red Hair Pirates' lair.

Mihawk, holding a black knife, re-landed on the island.

Port office.

Shanks and his group arrived early and waited for Mihawk to return.

"The navy has withdrawn. There were three World Government agents, and they have all been dealt with."

"Now that no one is watching you, you can move freely at any time."

Mihawk said domineeringly.

He left the island and acted alone for six hours, wandering around in many places.

The purpose is to eliminate the spies of the World Government.

As a member of the Four Emperors Group, naturally everything they do will be monitored.

What's more, Shanks' identity is quite special.

It has a close relationship with the Fejialand family.

It is an indisputable fact that his actions will naturally attract more attention.

In this regard.

Shanks himself has long been accustomed to it and knows that this is the fate of being a Four Emperor.

Since you are in this position, you have to endure being monitored.

The relationship with the Fegaland family makes the situation between Shanks and the World Government very ambiguous.

Shanks rarely attacks people from the World Government.

Unless these people are really blind and actively cause trouble for him.

Since there will be no fight, there is no reason to take action recently.

Mihawk becomes a good spokesperson, and it is of course the best thing for him to take action.

Mihawk was already suppressing a lot of anger because he was being plotted against by the World Government.

Given a suitable space to vent, he naturally would not refuse and agreed directly.

Shanks knew every hidden location and had no psychological burden in pointing Mihawk in the direction.

He resolved the battle three hours earlier than expected.

Because there were several waves of people stationed there, the distance between them was very far.

When wasting time fighting, you also have to take into account the time spent moving.

Shanks has compressed time to a great extent.

Unexpectedly, Hawkeye completed it easily ahead of schedule.

"Tsk tsk tsk, provoking the world's greatest swordsman is truly terrifying!"

"Mihawk, don't get too exhausted from fighting in Wano Country."

"I was worried that you might be hurt, but it turns out you should be worried about yourself!"

"When you join our pirate group, the positions of fifteenth and sixteenth in command will be reserved for you, Mihawk!"

"..."

Seeing Mihawk's sullen expression, everyone couldn't help but tease him.

It is normal for outsiders to be afraid of him. The members of the Red Hair Pirates do not feel any distance from him.

"I have no interest in a pirate group led by a captain who would lose to a vice admiral."

"You all must have seen the disastrous defeat a few days ago, right?"

"Aren't you ashamed of this guy at all?"

Mihawk pointed at Shanks and began his merciless sarcasm.

Shanks spread his hands helplessly and said:

"Hey, hey, hey, they're the ones attacking the people who teased you, Mihawk."

"Why can everything be linked to me? Don't count me in."

Mihawk didn't need to say much about losing to Ian.

Shanks himself already felt quite unhappy.

After this war is over, if they can return safely.

Shanks has secretly made a decision that he must find an opportunity to duel with Ian again.

Take back the face you have lost with your own hands!

Chapter 217: Preparations for Wano Country, Celestial Dragons take action!

As many parties are preparing for action, Wano Country is shrouded in gloom.

Even though Ian did a lot of psychological work for everyone, everyone knew that Ian would arrive in time.

But when a crisis really comes, it is still inevitable to feel nervous.

According to Ian's original statement, the Celestial Dragons would appear earlier than he did.

At that time, Wano Country may experience a momentary nightmare.

Under such circumstances, Hiyori Kozuki can launch a certain degree of counterattack with minimal casualties.

But it must not affect the larger situation and must not expose too many irrelevant people.

Because the more you expose, the more likely it is to arouse the vigilance of the Celestial Dragons.

If the Celestial Dragons got wind of this and gave up their actions against Wano Country, their entire plan would fail.

Ian, who is in the spotlight, is bound to arouse greater suspicion.

At that time, it will be even more difficult to make plans for the next step.

Even with Ian's judgment ability, he couldn't guarantee that there would be no casualties.

We can only hope that the Celestial Dragons and the World Government will be arrogant and, for the sake of the "fairness" of their "game", will not start a massacre right away.

If the lives of the people are threatened, the only people who will be affected are the high-ranking generals.

The risks that Hiyori Kozuki and Yamato bear should be the greatest.

How to deceive the Celestial Dragons, pretending to be struggling while letting them feel temporarily at ease.

For these things, you can only choose to believe in Hiyori Kozuki.

Ian wasn't particularly helpful.

The fate of an ancient kingdom cannot be determined entirely by him alone.

Instead, every step requires everyone's joint efforts and collaboration to complete.
