One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

It was finally quiet.

Teacher Kai, you certainly won't let me down, right?

However, this trust was quickly shattered.

Ian had just fallen asleep when hurried footsteps approached, then the paper door was pulled open, and the white-haired brat leaped up, pounced on Ian, and rolled around happily.

"Ian! Daddy agreed!"

Ian stared blankly at the ceiling, his face expressionless.

Sure enough, I am this girl's real father, right?

Is this something an old father could do?

After having enough fun, Yamato grinned and snuggled into bed, hugging Ian's arm and closing his eyes. "Okay, time to sleep!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the sound of soft, rapid breathing began to fill the air.

How utterly heartless!

Ian closed his eyes helplessly. Oh well, better be careful on the battlefield.

He also fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, even though it was already past noon, soldiers and ninjas gathered outside the castle tower.

Ian stood upstairs, gazing into the distance at the fields beyond the City of Flowers, and then lowered his head.

"Set off."

The army set out.

Time goes back to a while ago.

Rabbit bowl.

The allied forces of the three daimyo had started cooking early and were now fully assembled.

"set off!"

The three daimyo rode tall horses at the forefront of the army, drawing their swords and pointing them towards the distant Flower Capital.

On a rocky mountain not far away, Kozuki Toki quietly watched them depart.

This is the final battle in Wano Country.

The outcome of this war was already predetermined.

She didn't want to look, and simply turned and left.

This is indeed the final battle for the people of this country.

But this is by no means the end, it is by no means the end.

The capital of flowers.

This is both the name of the capital city and the name given to the area where the capital city is located by the people of Wano Country.

Compared to the other regions, the Flower Capital is much more developed. It is a vast plain, suitable for agriculture, and was the largest granary for the former agricultural country of the Land of Harmony.

There are also many towns scattered outside the capital, and even during the years of Kurozumi Orochi's perverse actions, these towns have not suffered any damage.

Because the Beasts Pirates' factories were not built in this area, the agriculture in this region has remained largely unchanged. Outside the towns, there are vast fields of farmland, a vibrant green expanse.

Caishen Town is a small town not far from the Flower Capital.

The town is named this because it is close to the City of Flowers and has benefited from it, making it relatively wealthy.

However, that happened several years ago.

After Kurozumi Orochi came to power, all the towns in Wano Country declined equally, as he had no interest in development.

The town of Caishen has lost all connection to wealth. The townspeople are all emaciated and pale. However, the farmland outside the town has not been abandoned. After all, Orochi loves to levy exorbitant taxes. If they don't work hard to cultivate the land, it won't just be a matter of not having enough to eat; they will starve to death.

It was morning, and the farmers of Caishen Town had already gone to work early, tending to their crops in the fields.

They had certainly heard about what had happened in the Flower Capital these past few days.

Kozuki Oden was executed.

General Orochi was killed.

The new general—no, the new king—was an eight-year-old child.

However, these things are just topics of conversation for them during their leisure time and have no impact on their lives.

At most, they would say in casual conversation, "I hope the new general will collect less land tax."

Farmers working in the morning sun felt the ground tremble.

They straightened up, rubbing their backs, and all showed expressions of astonishment.

In the distance along the road, a massive army was rapidly approaching.

Three mounted warriors marched at the head of the procession, their heavy hooves pounding the dirt road and kicking up clouds of dust.

The farmers stopped working and watched the army disappear into the distance.

Only after the army disappeared at the end of the road did they begin to whisper among themselves, "There's going to be a war."

After Caishen Town, we'll be almost at the Flower Capital.

Shimotsuki Ushimaru rode his horse over a hill, and at the far end of the plain, the most prosperous city in Wano Country came into view.

However, what he could see more clearly was a troop that had already formed ranks not far away on the plain.

"They're already waiting for us."

Fengyue Yujie held the reins in one hand and gripped the hilt of the sword at her waist with the other.

"It seems like there are only samurai and ninjas?"

Amatsuki Tenfuro took out a telescope and peered at the distant army. "The Beasts Pirates haven't come."

"what?"

Fengyue Yujie exclaimed in disbelief, "Kaido didn't come?"

"Not just Kaido,"

Amatsuki Tenfuro handed him the binoculars. "None of the Beasts Pirates' executives came. Only two brats showed up!"

Shimotsuki Ushimaru snatched the binoculars and peered into the distance.

At the very front of that unit in the distance, a black-haired boy, riding a tall horse that seemed disproportionately large for his height, was also looking this way.

Behind him was a white-haired girl, her face close to the boy's ear, seemingly whispering something to him.

"It seems Kaido doesn't take us seriously at all. He's preparing to let his son, General Kaido, deal with us."

Frost Moon Beef Ball smirked, "Haha, you've really been underestimated."

He swung the reins, "Attack!"

"attack!!"

Fengyue Yujie drew her sword.

"attack!!!"

Rain Moon Heavenly Buluo roared angrily.

Isn't this the best opportunity?

Kaido, you should really let your guard down!

It would be best if you didn't care about us even when we've stabbed you in the heart!

The three daimyo charged forward on horseback, followed by their samurai, and then the last foot soldiers, and the entire army launched a charge.

And on the opposite side.

Ian gazed at the allied forces of the daimyo charging down the hill in the distance, and tilted his head back slightly with a hint of pride. "See? I told you, even if we slept a little longer, we would still have plenty of time."

"Anything about that is fine!"

Yamato was eager to try, "Let's go too, Ian!"

"Not in a hurry."

Ian watched the approaching allied forces of the daimyo and said, "Let's talk to them first."

"Huh? What's there to talk about with them?"

Yamato pouted, "Anyway, as long as we take them down, that's fine."

"If something can be resolved with words, there's no need to rush into action."

Ian said.

The three daimyo are all quite powerful. If we could subdue them, that would be great, wouldn't it?

"Let's go see what they have to say."

The next second, a burst of golden light appeared, and a huge golden dragon spread its wings and took off.

"Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity".
