Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Without any warning, he once again swung his famous sword, Thunderstorm, at Hawkeye Mihawk.

After the exchange just now.

Hawkeye Mihawk has already seen through Shiryu of the Rain's strength level.

The dish "317" is like a great swordsman...

However, it can also be used to pass the time.

Hawkeye Mihawk drew his Black Blade Night once more and began fighting Shiryu.

"That's really scary~"

Kizaru transformed into a flash of light, arrived beside Ian, and gestured to Magellan.

"Magellan, go and handle official business. I'll take care of things here."

"Yes, I'll go and contact Marshal Sengoku!"

Magellan naturally had no objection to the admiral's order.

In his view, as long as Kizaru is here, as long as Ian is here, then everything will remain in order!

Magellan turned and left without hesitation.

Kizaru looked at Ian and then pointed to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the sky.

“Ian, let’s go upstairs! Let’s find a quiet place.”

"Simple!"

With a thought, a blue-eyed white dragon instantly emerged from the ground beneath Ian's feet, carrying him and Kizaru into the sky.

Kizaru, standing atop the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, looked down at the Impel Down below and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"That's a really enviable ability!"

The mere Clay Fruit has been developed to this extent...

Kizaru highly recognizes Ian's talent.

How could such a good marine be sent to be an undercover agent?

"Ian."

High in the sky, Kizaru wasn't afraid of being overheard and asked directly.

Have you ever considered returning to the Navy?

"Return to the Navy?"

Ian raised his brow.

As a member of the Sharp Blade unit, he has submitted his resignation, but it has not yet been approved.

Theoretically speaking, he is indeed qualified to return to the Navy for a review of his duties.

"Is this Admiral Kizaru's opinion, or Fleet Admiral Sengoku's opinion?"

"This is just my personal opinion."

Kizaru looked at Ian with a smile.

Without any prior communication, Ian said something very similar to Hawkeye.

In Kizaru's view, this was a sign that Ian still believed in "justice".

That's why this problem arose.

"I have no intention of returning to the Navy."

Ian shook his head, decisively declining Kizaru's invitation.

"A navy that can't even resolutely uphold 'justice' is nowhere near as comfortable as a sharp-edged force that can operate freely."

Before Kizaru could reply, Ian changed the subject and looked at the admiral with great interest.

"Admiral Kizaru, have you ever considered becoming a pirate?"

Ian had said this to more than one admiral.

Besides Kizaru, Ian also spoke to Aokiji.

The first time, Aokiji firmly refused Ian's invitation.

The second time, Aokiji's attitude softened somewhat.

Then, no more...

Speaking of which, Ian hasn't received any contact from the highest-ranking officer of the Blade Force for quite some time, and he wonders how Aokiji is doing...

"……forget it."

Kizaru shook his head, showing no intention of continuing the conversation from where Ian left off.

Become a pirate?

Being a pirate is easy, but who pays his salary?!

Moreover.

The highest-ranking officer of the Sharp Blade Unit is Aokiji.

Kizaru is the highest-ranking officer in the science unit.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Kizaru took out his Den Den Mushi (communication phone) from his pocket and dialed directly to the Marine Headquarters.

"Moshi moshi... Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Hawkeye Mihawk has arrived at Impel Down. Is this your doing?"

Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

Sengoku frowned slightly after receiving Kizaru's Den Den Mushi message.

"Hawkeye Mihawk? I haven't been in contact with him!"

The voice of the Warring States period came through the receiver.

"These Seven Warlords of the Sea are all a real handful!"

"The Heavenly Demon is one! The Sand Crocodile is one! And now there's Hawkeye Mihawk acting on his own!"

Kizaru glanced at Ian beside him, "Um, Fleet Admiral Sengoku..."

"Marshal of the Warring States Period!"

Ian interrupted Kizaru and cut to the chase.

"What do you mean by 'troublesome'? I've always been working honestly and diligently!"

"Work honestly and diligently?"

Sengoku heard Ian's voice and was surprised for a moment, but he didn't take it to heart and replied firmly.

"You mean you've been cleaning up the prisoners in the endless hell?"

"Is there anything wrong?"

Ian said matter-of-factly.

"I'm cleaning up the trash in the ocean."

"It's much better to have one less prisoner in the endless hell than one less civilian!"

"You—I don't want to discuss this with you!"

Sengoku glared at him, then skipped over the topic.

"Where's Kizaru? Tell him to answer the phone!"

Kizaru glanced at Ian again, about to say something, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I'm here..."

"Marshal of the Warring States Period!"

Ian interrupted Kizaru once again.

"What did those Heavenly Yaksha and Sand Crocodile you just mentioned do?"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku remained silent for a moment, then decided it wouldn't hurt to tell Ian this information.

"Donquixote Doflamingo, the Heavenly Demon, has been very active these past few days and has been getting close to the Beasts Pirates."

Sengoku recalled the intelligence reports that had been gathered from the lower branches and simplified some of the information.

"As for Crocodile, he suddenly left Alabasta and inexplicably ran off to the East Blue..."

Ian could roughly understand what happened with Doflamingo and was somewhat prepared for it.

Because the Beasts Pirates and the Donquixote Family are indeed very close...

Ian previously killed Hanafda, the Lizard King.

One of the Beasts Pirates' "Grey Gloves" has been eliminated.

Whether it was Kaido of the Beasts who actively sought out Doflamingo, or Doflamingo who actively sought out Kaido of the Beasts...

Both are possible.

but.

Old Sha ran off to the East China Sea?

This was completely unexpected by Ian.

Ian fell silent, deep in thought.

Kizaru finally found a chance to speak.

"Marshal Sengoku, should I lock Hawkeye Mihawk in Impel Down?"

Sengoku asked, "What did Hawkeye Mihawk do?"

"Nothing much, just a little lesson given to the deputy warden of Impel Down."

Kizaru said slowly and deliberately.

According to Hawkeye Mihawk, he came to Impel Down because of King Shiki II.

"You know, it's that kind of attraction between 'sword masters'."

"I'm not a swordsman..."

The Warring States period was speechless.

"Never mind Hawkeye Mihawk."

He is the world's greatest swordsman.

"Having this prestigious name among the Seven Warlords of the Sea is also beneficial to maintaining order on the seas."

"Just get him out of Impel Down as soon as possible."

"I see."

Kizaru readily agreed, and then he was about to hang up the phone...

However, the Warring States period did not let him off so easily.

"Porusalino!"

Warring States said in a deep voice.

"You've been in Impel Down for over a week now."

"That Whitebeard Jr. has never gone to Impel Down, and I guess he probably won't go again."

"Shouldn't you go back to headquarters?"

"...Huh? Marshal Sengoku, what did you say? I can't hear you..."

Kizaru suddenly moved the Den Den Mushi away, taking it far away.

"That's strange... The signal is bad again... It must be a weather problem in the doldrums..."

pat!

Kizaru spouted some nonsense that even he didn't believe, and then cleanly and decisively hung up the Den Den Mushi.
