Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Gan Fall: "Every Sky Island inhabitant is grateful for this island of gods, grateful for the blessings this earthen island has bestowed upon them!"

Wapa, “This is our Shandian island!”

“I know that the God of the Blue Sea took this island from the God of the Sky Island and then gave it to you Shandians.”

Gan Fall glanced at Ian, then looked back toward the original Enel Temple.

"However, the Island of Gods is still part of the Sky Island! The other inhabitants of the Sky Island all depend on the soil on this island for their livelihood."

"They are innocent people and should not be punished for the wars of the past—"

"Innocent!?"

Wapa grabbed Gan Fall by the collar, veins bulging on his forehead, and hurled insults at him.

"Old man! You're still as naive as ever!"

"Your ancestors took Sky Gaya Island from our ancestors!"

“You people have enjoyed the benefits this island has given you since you were a child!”

"Now you're actually saying you're 'innocent'? What a joke!"

"I mean, the other Sky Islanders are innocent; they are blameless."

Gan Fall responded to the Ghost's rage with composure, his tone as calm as a still well.

“Wapa, I know what you mean, blood for blood.”

"I am willing to offer my assailant to all the Shandians with this crippled body."

Wapa was stunned. "What?"

"Although I am no longer the God of Sky Island, I was a god for a period of time after all."

A faint smile appeared on Gan Fall's aged face.

“I remember you once said that you would offer 100 Sky Island people as sacrifices to your ancestors to comfort their souls.”

"But I can't do that kind of thing, and I would never do it."

"All I can do is hand myself over to you Shandians and let you do as you please."

"Whether it's beheading, cremation, or the punishment of being thrown into the clouds, I'm willing to accept it."

"As long as you stop being obsessed with war and stop viewing other Sky Islanders as enemies."

"old man……"

Wapa loosened his grip on Gan Fall's right hand slightly.

He didn't know how to deal with this ancient sky island god who was willing to "sacrifice" himself to the Shandians.

In a state of utter bewilderment, Wapa felt a surge of anger rise within him again.

"Old man! Who do you think you are?!"

Wapa loosened Gan Fall's collar, pulled his right fist back, and then raised it high in the air.

Don't think I'll believe you just because of that!

The moment Wapa finished speaking, he swung his right fist, which slammed solidly into Gan Fall's old face.

There was a dull thud.

Gan Fall was sent flying several meters away by Wapa's punch, and involuntarily coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Thick, fresh blood mixed with dark yellow teeth fell to the ground.

"Choo Choo Choo!"

When Pierre saw his master being beaten, he immediately flapped his wings and flew to Gan Fall's side to protect his master.

"Wapa! You've gone too far!"

"Wapa! How could you treat Gan Fall like that!"

"Wapa/Captain!..."

The ordinary Shandians, led by the Shandian chief, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

Even the group of Shandian guerrillas behind Wapa showed expressions of pity when they saw Gan Fall's appearance.

The Shandians frequently fought against the Sky Islanders in their struggle to reclaim their homeland; this is one thing.

Beating up Gan Fall, an old man who refused to fight back, to vent hatred is another matter entirely.

After Wapa delivered that "Face-Breaking Punch," he froze on the spot.

He hadn't expected that Gan Fall would actually not resist and allow himself to be attacked.

Gan Fall got up from the ground, his cheeks swollen and his mouth full of blood, looking a mess.

"Wapa! Don't forget your promise!"

Gan Fall roared at Wapa with his snarling teeth.

"Peace! The Shandians must stop waging war against the Sky Islanders!"

"old man!"

Wapa gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, wanting to continue forward.

"Wapah!" / "Captain!" / "Chirp chirp chirp!" / ...

The crowd was in chaos, accompanied by the sharp cries of birds.

Amidst the noise.

Robin glanced at Ian, who was still devouring meat, and asked in a low voice.

"captain?"

"do not worry about it."

Ian casually tore off a piece of meat, chewing as he answered.

"This matter has nothing to do with us."

Ian was clearly talking to Robin, and his voice wasn't very loud.

But the moment he spoke, all the surrounding noise vanished.

Wapa, panting heavily; Gan Foul, blood trickling from his mouth; the Shandian chief, his face full of sorrow; and the other guerrillas…

Ian once again became the center of attention.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Ian looked up at the two groups of people and waved the empty fish meat in his hand.

"Strike when you need to, kill when you need to, don't dawdle, be swift."

To be honest, Ian actually quite enjoys watching a spectacle.

Following Ian's instructions, Wapa once again headed towards Gan Fall.

But this time.

Apart from Pierre, who is still chirping incessantly.

There was no one else on the field to stop Wapa.

Wapa walked step by step toward Pierre.

This strange bird was his last line of defense in executing the Old Gods of the Sky Island.

At this critical moment, Pierre activated the power of the Horse-Horse Fruit.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a bird underwent "super abnormal development" and transformed into a Pegasus.

Pierre stood firmly in front of Gan Faure.

But at that moment, Gan Fall patted its horse's leg.

"Make way, Pierre."

The Sky Island God still spoke with a slight lisp, but his tone was as resolute as that of a martyr.

"From now on, I am no longer your master."

Gan Fore pushed Pierre aside and faced Wapa himself.

Wapa looked at the disheveled old man in front of him and raised his right hand once again.

But this time...

Wapa just couldn't bring himself to do it.

Because it's not just Gan Fall.

At that moment, the Shandian chief also quietly stepped out of the crowd and stood with Gan Fall.

Two years ago.

The Shandian chief had initially agreed to peace talks with Gan Foul.

Those who have experienced war understand better than those who are currently experiencing it how hard-won peace is.

However, the obstruction of young warriors like Wapa caused the peace negotiations to fail.

"Wapa, Enel is dead, peace is just around the corner."

The Shandian chief earnestly advised the young warrior.

"If you kill Gan Fall, it will only escalate the conflict between us and the Sky Islanders!"

"Do you intend to start a full-scale war between us Shandians and Sky Islanders?"

The Shandian chief had one more thing he didn't say.

"Do you really want to just stand by and watch us Shandians be driven from our homeland by the Sky Islanders once again?"

Even a fanatical warmonger like Wapa.

He was also very clear about one thing.

On the Sky Island, the Shandians are far less powerful than the Sky Islanders.

Over the past four hundred years.

The Shandians have been fighting with the Sky Islanders for ownership of the "Island of the Gods".

But the Sandians never reclaimed their homeland.

The Shandians did not have this four hundred years ago.

The Shandians four hundred years later also did not have this.

If Ian hadn't arrived and killed Enel...

Wapa had no idea that it would take the Shandians several hundred more years (5.5) to reclaim their homeland from the Sky Islanders.

The disparity in strength between the Sky Islanders and the Shandians is obvious.

The consequences of war would be unimaginable.

Wapa looked around, but didn't know who to look at, and finally just looked at Ian.

"Tsk!"

Ian noticed Wapa's gaze, of course, and clicked his tongue in regret.

"What a pity, I thought there would be a show to watch."

"Wapa, why don't you kill Gan Fall?"

"Lord Ian..."

Wapa seemed to have lost his usual fierce spirit, he said in a low voice.

"I have no idea……"

"What are you afraid of, Wapa?"

Ian shook his head and went straight to what Wapa was really worried about.

Are you afraid of war?
