Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 119 The Burner of the Pact, the Flaming Demon Tiger! (Please Subscribe)
Goo!Goo!Goo!
The Grand Line, on a certain island.

Old York, who usually made a living by fishing, looked up with some puzzlement as he listened to the call of the messenger bird.

"This is the fourth time, isn't it? Why are there so many newsbirds flying around today? Has something big happened?"

He hesitated for a moment, then waved to the newspaper bird—for someone as frugal as him, a newspaper costing 100 Berries wasn't something he could just buy casually, and he could always get freebies from his friends.

But after hearing the bird call four times in just one hour, he finally couldn't resist his curiosity and spent the 100 Berries.

Upon receiving the newspaper and taking a cursory reading, his eyes suddenly widened in shock, and his face showed terror.

The next moment, he scrambled off the ship and ran into the town, shouting as he ran, "It's terrible! Something terrible has happened! A new Pirate King is about to be born! It's that Flame Tiger! No, it's now 'The Burner of the Pact'! He even killed Marine Admiral Akainu and his ally, the Yonko Kaido!"

……

scoff-

Ace ripped the newspaper to shreds and roared, "They attacked and killed 'Kaido of the Beasts' while confirming Laugh Tale's location?! How could Ian do such a thing?! What kind of Pact Burner is he?!"

“Ah, I don’t know what happened, but that guy definitely shouldn’t have done something like this,” Marco said from the side. “But one thing is certain… Kaido’s death is most likely true!”

"really?"

"That 'world's strongest creature' will die?"

"What about the news confirming Laugh Tale's location? Is that true or false?"

"It's highly likely true. They successfully found the fourth Poneglyph, but Kaido's death is probably related to the World Government."

"Dad! What do you think? Is Ian really going to become the second Pirate King?!"

Whitebeard sat there silently.

'Kaido…'

He didn't like Kaido, but he didn't hate him either. Did the little brother he recommended to the Rocks Pirates end up with the exact same fate as Rocks? Did the God Valley incident repeat itself?
Ignoring the newspaper's description of Guan Yi's treachery, he, who knew the truth, saw through the matter at a glance, and felt a little complicated.

Ian, kid, will you be the one Roger is waiting for? What choices will you make after you go to Laugh Tale?

In the corner, Teach's feelings were also complicated, simply put: fear and longing.

The Burner of the Pact, sounds like a proper pirate! If I leave my father's ship now and join him, will I have a chance?
……

"Even Kaido..." On the Dreyfus, Shanks was also reading the newspaper.

As Hawkeye's friend, he knew better than anyone else what major things Guan Yi had done at Marine Headquarters and just how strong he was.

At this moment, he was both shocked and somewhat helpless: "Heroes will always emerge on the vast sea, but there is still some time before the appointed day. Right now... the time is not ripe to fight against that guy."

Ben Beckman took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled, "What do we do?"

Redhead shook his head: "There's nothing we can do. Even if we try to stop him, we might not be able to. Even if we tell him something, he won't completely believe it. We'll just have to wait until he goes to Laugh Tale and knows everything before he decides for himself."

He paused, then suddenly laughed: "Time flies. In about six months, Luffy will be setting sail, right? I wonder what his reaction will be when he sees this news."

……

"What Flame Tiger? I'm the man who's going to become the Pirate King!" In Windmill Village, East Blue, Luffy clutched the newspaper Makino had given him, shouting with unwavering determination.

"But they've already found the location of the One Piece treasure and are about to take it away."

Makino smiled gently: "So you still want to go on an adventure, Luffy?"

"Of course! I've already made a promise with Shanks and Ace!" Luffy said firmly, "No One Piece, no One Piece. I'm going to be a pirate, I'm going to become the Pirate King!"

Seeing Luffy's eyes redden, and knowing that the dream she had been pursuing was about to be fulfilled by someone else before he even set sail, Makino stopped teasing him.

"Alright, good luck, Luffy. The newspapers only say that he knows the location of the One Piece, but he hasn't gone to retrieve it yet, so he's not the Pirate King yet."

"Hmm!" Luffy paused, then said, "I remember that guy also seemed to have captured Grandpa... I'll go and beat him to a pulp when I set sail!"

"That won't be easy."

Luffy is currently unaware of the true significance of a Marine Admiral and a Pirate Emperor, but given his personality, he won't back down once he finds out.

……

With the World Government's mandate to label Guan Yi as the "Burner of the Covenant," this newspaper spread extremely quickly, reaching the entire ocean in just three days.

Shock, horror, indescribable.

Even the Shichibukai who had witnessed Guan Yi kill Akainu were shocked by this news—obtaining the fourth Road Poneglyph proved that Flame Tiger had achieved a stage victory in his confrontation with the World Government!

Can he do it? Will he do it? To overthrow the world government that has ruled the world for eight hundred years and become the freest man in the world.

Where will the world go from here?
Countries large and small are filled with anxiety.

Doflamingo was also confused. Kaido, whom he feared, had died, and the shock he caused was almost overshadowed by the fact that Yan Hu was about to become the second Pirate King.

Even a man like that, along with Admiral Akainu, could only serve as a backdrop to prove the might of the powerful Enko!
Today, Yanhu can no longer be regarded as a figure on par with other pirate emperors!
The Treasoner?
No, agreements can only be used to bind the weak. Even the most unaware pirates preferred to call Guan Yi by other names, and two new names gradually spread across the seas.

Calamity Flame, a calamity-like flame that reigns supreme!
The Demon Tiger, a terrifying and ferocious tiger like a demon god!
Two weeks after the newspaper was published, these two names gradually came into use by pirates, and as the incident unfolded, more things happened.

New World, Naval Base G9.

A pirate ship is approaching the naval base at an illogical, high speed.

"Captain! Are we really going to do this?"

The captain of the pirate crew is named Joran, with a bounty of 375 million. He is considered a well-known pirate in the New World.

He snorted and said, "Of course! I set sail for the Pirate King's treasure! Now that the treasure is going to be taken by 'Disaster Flame Ian,' what's the point of being a pirate?!"

But before disbanding your pirate crew, don't you want to give these Marines who've given us so much trouble a proper welcome?

"Of course I want to, Captain! Now that Admiral Akainu has been killed by 'Disaster Flame' and Fleet Admiral Sengoku has resigned, the Navy's strength is more depleted than ever before. It's the perfect time to repay them."

"Yes, I heard that several naval bases have been attacked. What do we have to be afraid of!"

"We just don't want to disband the pirate crew."

"Yes, Captain, let's think about it again!"

Qiao Lanen looked around and gave a vicious smile.

"Let's destroy this naval base first! After we've had our fill of killing, we won't be in a hurry to disband. It'll be our turn to hunt down the navy!"

"it is good!!"

They excitedly rushed through the restricted area and landed at the naval base, but unexpectedly, the naval base, which should have discovered them long ago, was not on alert. The marines simply watched quietly from a distance, waiting for them to advance.

Huh? What's going on? Jolan looked puzzled and a little uneasy until he saw a strong old man wearing a cloak of justice stride toward them, his domineering lightning flashing wildly.

"Pirates! You really dare?!"

"That...that's?!"

"Hero Garp... How is that possible?! Wasn't he captured by 'Disaster Flame'?!"

Rumbling--

Qiao Lan'en and his gang were completely wiped out!

……

Holy Land, Marie Gioia.

The five elders' gazes all fell on the face of the curly-haired man in front of them, filled with scrutiny and suspicion.

"Kuzan, why were you and Garp suddenly released by Ian the Tiger? Did you make some kind of agreement with him?!"

"No, there was no agreement."

Aokiji looked helpless and shook his head, saying, "He only made one request of us—'Return to the Navy, protect his world, and don't let those reckless pirates destroy it.'"

"!!!"

The five elders were taken aback, then flew into a rage.

"His world?!"

"Does he think he's already won?!"

"How dare he be so arrogant as to release the Navy's top combat power over something like this! He will pay the price! Kuzan..."

"Ah," Aokiji interrupted, "He also gave us a warning: if we dare to hinder him when he's dealing with you, he'll kill me the same way he killed Akainu next time he makes a move."

"..."

The Five Elders exchanged silent glances, sensing Aokiji's hesitation and Ian's complete disregard for Kuzan's potential intervention.

They were furious, but... that man was indeed that powerful now. And at this moment, the Navy had no room for criticism; Kuzan was ultimately the more suitable candidate than Borsalino.

That bastard from the Warring States period! He actually managed to be so heartless as to quit!

A few days later, the new Fleet Admiral Kuzan took office, and with the return of the navy's top combat power, the chaos at sea subsided considerably.

Everyone is waiting, waiting for the news that 'The Burner of the Covenant' and 'The Flaming Tiger' Ian have arrived at Laugh Tale and become the Pirate King.

But no one expected that more than half a year would pass in the blink of an eye, and there would be no news of him again.

At this peak, Guan Yi seemed to have chosen to retreat gracefully, refraining from further challenging the authority of the World Government. It was only rumored that the Revolutionary Army was in action, sealing off the Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise!
