Chapter 279 Kuzan’s experience on the ghost island! Enemies meet!
”Anyway, Kuzan is now one of us.”
Kuzan showed a gentle smile and greeted the cadres of the Beasts Pirates in front of him.
Ian formally introduced him to everyone in the Beasts Pirates.
To be honest, Kuzan was a little nervous at this time.
This nervousness can almost be compared to when he officially joined the Navy Headquarters from the recruit training camp.
I wonder if it will be pleasant to get along with new colleagues.
He thought so.
”Hmph, a former admiral of the navy? Nothing more than that.”
It was Mr. Barrett who looked at him from beginning to end and made this evaluation.
Kuzan felt that he had nothing to refute about his evaluation.
After all, when this man was active on the sea, it was Mr. Sengoku who served as the admiral of the navy.
Mr. Sengoku, who has now become the admiral of the navy, is of course much stronger than himself, and Kuzan has a clear understanding of this.
”Hmph, you’d better not do anything to betray Ian, otherwise I won’t forgive you.”
The one who warned him coldly was the snake concubine Hancock, who was said to be one of Ian’s two concubines.
She is indeed a super beautiful woman. It is said that many newspapers have rated her as the most beautiful woman in the world.
Ian, this bastard, is really lucky. It’s okay that such a beautiful woman is in love with him, and there is also a Yamato who is also close to him.
The close friend Yamato also spoke at this time, “Great! I always feel it’s a pity that I didn’t win against you last time! Let’s have a showdown later to see who is the most powerful ice user in the world!”
”I give up.”
Kuzan spoke cleanly.
Are you kidding? Who wants to duel with the boss’s girlfriend? Isn’t this the same as going to challenge the Celestial Dragons when he was still the admiral of the navy? No matter who wins or loses, it won’t be a good thing, right?
Do you understand the workplace rules of the admiral of the navy? The right way to deal with people.
And this girl is indeed extremely strong. Since she is now a friendly army, Kuzan really has no intention of fighting with this girl.
It’s meaningless, isn’t it?
”Damn it!!”
Yamato was pissed off.
Anyway, Ian introduced all the cadres of the Beasts Pirates who were left on Onigashima to Kuzan one by one.
In fact, Kuzan knew many of these guys, after all, they were all famous figures on the wanted list.
But there was only one guy who was very special.
Tezoro.
Although this man was somewhat famous in the world, he appeared more in newspapers as an actor and singer.
Originally, no one took him seriously, but when Ian introduced him, he said that Tezoro was his most important assistant.
This seems to be a very remarkable man, Kuzan thought so.
But overall, this meeting with new colleagues was relatively smooth.
Basically no one made things difficult for him.
But this kind of thing is also normal.
Kuzan believed that he still had some strength. Even if he wanted to make trouble for him, few people in the entire Beasts Pirates were qualified.
After the meeting, Ian asked Tiqi to take Kuzan to visit Onigashima and learn more about this island where he would stay for quite a long time in the future.
Tiqi had just experienced something similar not long ago, so it was really appropriate for him to lead the way.
”The building we are in now is the center of Onigashima, and it is the residence of Lord Ian and the cadres.”
Tiqi took Kuzan down from the castle tower, “You can also choose a room you like here later.”
Now, it is impossible to choose a good room, after all, I came too late.
Kuzan thought so.
Coming out of the castle tower, several children were fighting in the wide square outside.
The boy and girl who turned into dinosaurs.
The cat girl holding a long sword and another boy holding three swords fighting fiercely.
Also, he was fighting with a boy with yellow hair and a strange combat uniform——
”Dragon?”
Kuzan was stunned.
A pinkThe red dragon hovered in the sky above the square, spitting out a blazing pillar of fire from its mouth.
Then the yellow-haired boy jumped up and kicked the flames away.
That was indeed a dragon, right?
Except for the different color and much smaller size, it is exactly the same as Kaido!
It can even spit fire! It can also float in the sky by grabbing clouds!
But how could there be two identical devil fruits in the world?
”Hahahaha! You’re shocked, right?”
Teach laughed, “I was also shocked when I saw it for the first time.”
”Among all the young people in the pirate group, Ace is the most special.”
”The devil fruit he ate is a replica of Kaido’s Blue Dragon Fruit.”
”What?”
Kuzan was completely confused.
It’s not that he didn’t know about the fruit.
On the contrary, he personally gave Ian the replica of the Azure Dragon Fruit! But he never thought that the fruit could actually give people the ability to transform into a dragon! Wasn’t that fruit a failure? Now it seems that where did it fail? Wait!
So, Ian not only knew about the existence of the fruit, but also knew that the fruit was successful? A guess emerged in Kuzan’s mind.
Could it be that Ian had known Dr. Vegapunk for a long time? Is everything their plan? Hiss! Kuzan couldn’t help but take a breath. If that was the case, Ian was too scary. He was only thirteen years old at that time.
“They are both very remarkable children,”
Teach didn’t know Kuzan’s mental journey, but just introduced him to him, “Runti and Page One are siblings. They joined the Beasts Pirates when they were very young, and it was Lord Ian who personally went to pick them up.”
Speaking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh.
When Lord Ian went to pick up the siblings, it was the beginning of his feud with the Whitebeard Pirates.
At that time, Lord Ian had already shocked the whole world, but at that time, no one could have imagined that he could reach this point now.
”Zoro and Kuina are the children Lord Ian brought back from the East China Sea. Both of them are practicing to become the strongest swordsmen.”
Teach continued the introduction, “Sanji is the third son of the Vinsmoke family. He is the crystallization of the highest technology of the Vinsmoke family and a natural monster in the true sense.”
”Then there is Ace. How strong is his talent? Just think about why Lord Ian gave him that fruit and you will understand.”
”Ah, it seems that they are all amazing.”
Kuzan sighed softly.
These children are indeed monsters among their peers.
“By the way, there is also a little Uta, you should be very familiar with her,”
Teach smiled, “But she is recording now.”
”Uta?”
Kuzan also smiled, “No matter which island in the New World, you can hear her singing every day.”
”Even around the world, there are countless people who risk being investigated by the government to listen to her live broadcast on time.”
”It is said that the girl is the child of red hair. Later, something happened and she came back with Lord Ian.” Teach said.
”Red hair?”
Kuzan was surprised again, “Does that red-haired Shanks have a child?”
I have never heard of such a thing.
The two chatted while walking forward.
Teach introduced Kuzan to the various areas inside Onigashima.
Commercial street, dormitory, restaurant, Quinn’s workshop, Kozuki Sukiyaki’s forging workshop
Kuzan was not very interested in these. What interested him most were the beastmen on the island who were swaggering too close. ”Are all of them artificial devil fruit users?”
He couldn’t help but ask.
It’s not news that the Beast Pirates have created artificial devil fruits.
The beast giants under Ian have already shocked the whole world.
But Kuzan didn’t expect there would be so many.
On Ghost Island, you can see an artificial devil fruit user almost every few steps.
Teach’s tone was inevitably a little sad, “New artificial devil fruits mature every month. To date, the number of artificial devil fruit users under Lord Ian is in the thousands,There are even a lot of giants among them. ”
Kuzan couldn’t help but be amazed.
Although they are artificial devil fruit users, they are still users.
Thousands of users, what kind of exaggerated power is this?
”Not only that,”
Teach added, “Quinn has also developed a special potion that can make the controlled beasts and artificial devil fruit users violent, and increase their power again.”
”It is said that on this basis, the ability increase of artificial devil fruit users has surpassed that of real animal users. ”
”…”
Kuzan didn’t know what to say.
The Beasts Pirates were much stronger than he had imagined.
With the shock brought by the artificial devil fruit ability users, Kuzan was no longer surprised to meet those giants and even the Barbarian Tyrants on Onigashima.
The two of them went from the island to the outside.
”The bottom of Wano Country is the territory of fishmen and mermaids,”
Teach warned, “so you must not use your abilities casually, there may be fishmen and mermaid villages under some sea area.”
”Now, there are hundreds of thousands of fishmen and mermaids settled in Wano Country, which can almost be regarded as the second Fishman Island. ”
The Beasts Pirates and Fishman Island are indeed completely tied together.
Kuzan sighed in his heart.
However, this sigh was soon thrown aside by him, because he saw many beautiful mermaids dancing on the sea.
If these beautiful mermaids were to appear on the sea ruled by the government, they would probably attract a large number of human traffickers at the first time.
Everyone knows that these mermaids are the favorite slaves of the Celestial Dragons.
But here they can live freely and peacefully.
It’s amazing.
After a rough tour of Onigashima, Teach took Kuzan back to the castle tower, ready to report to Ian to see if the adult had any other arrangements.
As soon as they climbed onto the castle tower, a roar suddenly came from outside Onigashima.
The huge blue dragon flew in from the eyes of the Onigashima skeleton and went all the way to the top of the castle tower.
”Oh! Boss Kaido is back! ”
Teach said.
Kuzan knew it was Kaido, but besides Kaido, he also saw someone else.
Qinglong landed on the terrace at the top of the castle tower.
When Teacher Kai returned to his original form, the two people he brought back also landed lightly.
Kuzan saw the black-haired girl.
The heart was instantly occupied by an extremely complicated emotion.
When the black-haired girl looked around in surprise, she suddenly saw him.
It was visible to the naked eye that a look of fear appeared on the girl’s face, and she stepped back subconsciously.
”What’s wrong? Miss Robin?”
Drag noticed Robin’s fear and asked subconsciously.
”Maybe she was scared.”
Ian stepped onto the terrace.
He smiled at Teacher Kai and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Kai. ”
”Hmph, don’t send me to do such boring things in the future!”
Teacher Kai snorted and walked in.
He was very unhappy about this business trip.
There was no proper fight at all, and they just wasted their time on the road.
”Long time no see, Dragon, how are you doing recently?”
Kuzan watched Ian walk up to Dragon and greet him.
If he was still a navy, he would never have thought that there was still friendship between the Beast Pirates and the Revolutionary Army.
Is this really not a joke?
”Let’s go, let’s have a good chat.”
Kuzan saw Ian walking inside with Dragon.
When they were about to enter the house, Ian turned around and said to Kuzan, “Kuzan, treat your old acquaintance well. ”
Old acquaintance?
I never thought that I could use such a name to describe the relationship between me and this girl.
Kuzan sighed and walked towards the girl with heavy steps.
”You, why are you here?”
Robin looked alert and her body was even trembling slightly.
She would never forget how desperate this man in front of her brought to O’Hara eleven years ago! ”Ah la la, re-employment after being laid off,”
Kuzan said faintly, “It is not easy to find a good job after being unemployed in middle age. ”
”So, the admiral who once claimed to be righteous has now become a pirate?”
Robin’s words were full of sarcasm.
”How mean,”
Kuzan sighed, and then he said seriously, “Girl, since Ian said we are old acquaintances, then as a long-lost reunion between acquaintances, I will tell you a good news.”
Robin did not speak, but just looked at him vigilantly.
But Kuzan broke the vigilance of such a vigilant girl with just one sentence.
”Sauro is still alive. ”
Kuzan said.
”…”
Robin stared at him blankly.
The girl who had been called a genius since childhood felt that her brain was not enough at this time.
A short sentence made her fall into complete confusion.
It was not until more than ten seconds later that she reacted belatedly, her eyes began to moisten, and her voice became trembling, “You said, what?”
”Sauro is still alive,”
Kuzan said seriously, “in the war country Elbaf! He brought all the information collected by O’Hara’s scholars there.”
”Not only you, Nicole Robin, O’Hara’s legacy still exists in this world.”
”If you doubt the truth of this matter, you can ask Ian later. He also knows about this matter and has obtained the information of ancient technology given by Sauro.”
The girl couldn’t hold back her tears.
”Sauro, is he still alive? ”
”No matter what, that guy is my good friend. How could I kill him directly?”
Kuzan sighed, “I’m really sorry about what happened back then. The order I received at that time was just to wipe out the scholars. I didn’t know it would develop to that point in the end.”
”But now it seems that erasing the scholars is the worst idea, but I didn’t realize it at the time.”
”If you want revenge, then assist Ian well. Whether you want revenge on me or the World Government, there is no one more suitable than him.”
The girl looked at him with a complicated look.
