"Oh, is it time to go? I thought we were going to fight!"
Hearing Ian's order, Zephyr smiled, as if greeting an old friend, and looked at Sengoku and Garp, "Then I'll be leaving now, let's catch up next time!"
"Get the hell out of here!"
But these words only made Sengoku's face turn even more ashen. "You traitor who has violated justice, next time I see you, I will personally arrest you!"
"Ah, you're leaving just like that? Not fighting anymore?"
Garp seemed to be trying to persuade an old friend to stay a little longer.
"Garp!!!"
"Alright, alright! I was just joking. I'll take back what I said!"
Hearing Sengoku's angry voice, Garp didn't seem to care at all. He smiled and shook his head at Zephyr, adding considerately, "Be careful!"
"Mr. Ian."
At this moment, Ace also walked over, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
But before Ace could finish speaking, Ian waved his hand, interrupting him, "That's enough. Let's go back and talk about it later!"
After Zephyr let everyone return inside his body, he had Gerd go down and bring Zephyr up. After bringing them up, under the watchful eyes of the Marines and the pirates, he took to the air again.
However, Ian didn't let Gerd leave immediately. Instead, he smiled and looked down, finally fixing his gaze on Luffy, and said, "Why aren't you running? This is a rare opportunity!"
As soon as he said that…
Straw Hat Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates: "...?!"
The Straw Hat Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates' faces lit up.
"Gurarara, it's time to retreat, my sons!"
"Everyone, let's leave!"
As the voice faded, both the Straw Hat Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates showed excited expressions.
That's right, this is a rare opportunity!
Sengoku's expression also changed.
After glaring at Ian, who had let out a hearty laugh and sent the pink dragon flying away, he quickly came to his senses and looked at the Whitebeard Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates, roaring, "Damn it, what are you all standing there for? The public execution isn't over yet! Stop those guys!"
At this moment, the public executions continued... As if nothing had happened, leaving only a collapsed Marine Headquarters and a chaotic situation.
…
At the same time, in the sky, Ian could no longer resist lying down, stretching out his limbs, exhaling heavily, and then basking in the sun again.
This scene caused Zephyr to frown and look at Ian, saying, "You don't look too good!"
No wonder he slipped away like that; it seems that the previous battle wasn't easy either!
"It's alright, a few days of sun exposure should be enough."
In response to Zephyr's words, Ian did not hide anything and said while sunbathing, "But I really can't continue fighting."
The battle with the Five Elders and the God's Knights was no simple matter; it could be said that both he and the Five Elders were teetering on the brink of death.
The only difference is that the Five Elders are immortal, while he possesses super-fast regeneration.
Furthermore, his super-fast regeneration was achieved by forcibly absorbing sunlight.
Now that his power bank was gone and the sun was about to set, this was definitely not a good time to fool around.
If he hadn't been unable to get through to Instructor Zephyr and was worried that something might have happened, he wouldn't have made this special trip.
"I never expected this to happen."
Hearing Ian's reply, Zephyr sighed inwardly. "The World Government actually launched a war against us at this time... Well, now it seems..."
Looking at Ian with a strange expression, he said, "No wonder the World Government is so nervous."
He actually repel the Five Elders and the God's Knights?!
If this news gets out, the entire sea will probably be shaken.
Only…
"Has Ohara been destroyed?"
"It's all destroyed, not a single part is intact."
These words brought a pang of heartache to Ian's eyes. "The ground cracked, all the houses collapsed, and even the dock sank. Luckily, everyone was evacuated in time; otherwise, it would have been a disaster!"
"That serious?!"
Zephyr's expression changed, but after hearing that everyone was alright, his expression softened slightly.
Then, as if remembering something, he slapped his thigh hard. "What a pity! You should have insisted a little longer and made the Marine Headquarters pay compensation. For the sake of the situation, even if Sengoku was furious, he had no choice but to agree."
As he spoke, a hint of pain appeared in his eyes, "Look how much money we've lost now!"
"No problem. Isn't the World Government going to collect the Heavenly Tribute soon?"
Ian said casually. "We can just rob the Heavenly Tribute then. We can take as much as we want."
Zephyr and Gerd: "..."
Upon hearing this, Zephyr fell silent, and not only Zephyr, but also Gerd, who had transformed into a pink dragon, remained silent.
Such a dangerous guy... No wonder the World Government launched a war without regard for consequences.
Not only did he marry Ohara's orphan, but now he even dares to rob the Heavenly Tribute.
What would he dare not to do?
You know, that's Heavenly Tribute!
It is the main source of income for those World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons, supporting their luxurious lifestyle.
If this gets stolen, the World Government will probably be furious and might even start another war.
The Donquixote Family once robbed the Heavenly Tribute, causing quite a stir.
However, the head of the Donquixote Family was no ordinary person, and although they robbed the Heavenly Tribute, the Donquixote Family dared not touch a single penny of it!
Finally, it was returned intact.
"Don't worry, after this incident, the World Government probably won't bother us for a while."
Seemingly sensing their concerns, Ian smiled and said, "The World Government will have a headache just stabilizing the situation."
"That's true."
Hearing Ian's words, Zephyr came back to his senses, nodded, and, after a moment of contemplation, said with a sigh, "The Straw Hat Pirates have caused quite a bit of trouble! I heard that they even managed to destroy Impel Down, the world's number one prison. I wonder how many vicious pirates have escaped."
This is also why Sengoku questioned him about justice at that time, because of this incident... the sea is about to become even more chaotic.
You have to understand that the pirates imprisoned in Impel Down are no ordinary people. If they all escape, the consequences are predictable.
