Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Ian shook his head and said calmly.

"All we need to do is make a 'deal' with the world government."

"Have you forgotten those three naval warships on the sea?"

"Those warships are now our 'bargaining chips'!"

of course.

Apart from "trading chips".

We also need a "middleman".

The image of Ian's immediate supervisor flashed through his mind.

Admiral Aokiji, can you hurry up with things over there?!

……

"Moshi moshi, this is Aokiji."

Aokiji held up the Den Den Mushi and spoke to his rather troublesome subordinate.

"Marshal Zhan Guo has already agreed to your plan proposal..."

"What?! You want to see Dr. Vegapunk now?"

"That's right!"

"Ian said earnestly on the other end of the Den Den Mushi."

"Admiral Aokiji meeting with Dr. Vegapunk is the core condition of this deal."

"Ian, all you ever do is cause me trouble."

Aokiji rubbed his head in pain.

"Your current identity is not that of a 'naval officer'."

"Moreover, even the Navy has a very difficult time getting in touch with Dr. Vegapunk!"

"Although, but..."

Ian said quietly.

"Those are three large warships..."

"You damned little devil!"

Aokiji couldn't help but rebuke him.

Why do you want to see Dr. Vegapunk?

"Because I wanted to treat the illness of my subordinate's daughter."

Ian answered without hesitation.

"That six-year-old girl has a very serious illness."

"If she hadn't received treatment earlier, she probably wouldn't have lived past ten years old."

It turns out it was to treat the little girl's illness...

Aokiji's expression softened considerably.

But the next moment, he suddenly realized something.

"Wait! Subordinates? Where did you get subordinates from?!"

"Oh, he's a subordinate I just took on. You know his name too."

Ian said casually.

"Bartholomew Bear."

"you you!"

Aokiji stammered, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

Dragon's subordinate, the commander of the revolutionary army, a "tyrant" whose brutality was known far and wide...

Now he's actually Ian's subordinate?!

"Don't make such a fuss, sir."

Ian calmly comforted him.

"I'm going to be a great pirate, how can I not have a few subordinates?"

But your subordinate is Bartholomew Bear!

Aokiji sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"Oh my... Ian, the 'surprises' you give me are getting bigger and bigger each time!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

"That's not a compliment at all!"

"I say indignantly."

"Even if you're a member of the Sharp Blade Squad, you shouldn't act so recklessly!"

"is it?"

Ian posed a counter-question.

"Do you think I'm more lawless than Lieutenant General Garp, who trained Monkey D. Dragon?"

Aokiji was speechless for a moment.

Garp and Dragon...

Garp, a "naval hero," somehow managed to train Dragon, "the world's most dangerous criminal"...

From any perspective, this is a tremendous challenge to "justice"!

Aokiji had no idea.

The things the "naval hero" did were far more outrageous than he had imagined.

The mere fact that he was a "revolutionary army leader" was enough to leave Aokiji speechless.

So what if we add "son of the Pirate King" to that list?

And then what about adding "the grandson of the sun god"?

can only say.

The Monkey family gets stronger with each generation!

"...I will inform Fleet Admiral Sengoku about your desire to see Dr. Vegapunk."

Aokiji wisely chose to skip the sensitive topic of Garp's family.

"Although your intentions are good, don't have too high expectations..."

Ian smiled broadly and thanked him in advance.

"Then thank you very much, Admiral Aokiji!"

"Hey! Didn't you remember what I just said—"

Just as Aokiji was about to say something, he realized that the call had been abruptly disconnected from the Den Den Mushi.

· ········Requesting flowers····· ·····

Ian was hung up on by Aokiji several times.

This time, it was his turn to hang up on Aokiji!

"This boy!"

Aokiji looked at the motionless Den Den Mushi and was both amused and exasperated.

After a moment's hesitation, he decided to dial another number.

"Moshi Moshi, Warring States Marshal..."

……

The Kingdom of Sorbe.

Ian stepped calmly into the chapel.

"How about it?"

The bear, who had been waiting for a long time, asked with a concerned expression.

"Has the World Government agreed to let us meet with Dr. Vegapunk?"

After successfully recruiting Big Bear, Ian also revealed a limited amount of his own information to him.

He did not tell Big Bear that he was a "member of the Sharp Blade Squad".

However, he told the other party that he had contact information for high-ranking naval officials.

Big Bear also knew that Ian had just left to negotiate with the Navy.

That's why he couldn't wait to ask the question.

"We're still in talks."

Ian shook his head, offering no affirmative answer.

"However, it is always best to be fully prepared."

"I thought about it carefully, and I realized that I shouldn't put all my eggs in one basket."

.. ..... ...

"Besides communicating with the Navy, we also need to make some other preparations."

"What else to do?"

Big Bear asked in confusion.

"Are we going to the East China Sea to find Germa 66?"

"That's possible, but that's not what I meant."

Ian shook his head and asked.

Are you familiar with the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" system?

"of course I know."

A look of disgust flashed across Big Bear's face.

"They were a group of great pirates who were recognized by the World Government and were allowed to legally plunder."

"That's right, but the Seven Warlords of the Sea are also a group of powerful pirates who can communicate directly with the World Government!"

Ian reminded him.

"If we don't hear from the Navy soon, we can try contacting the World Government from the pirate side."

"Is this... okay?"

Under normal circumstances, the bear's intelligence level is still quite good.

Can pirates be trusted?

"The vast majority of pirates cannot be trusted!"

Ian answered immediately.

"However, you misunderstood me."

“We can contact the World Government through the ‘Seven Warlords of the Sea’ system.”

"However, I'm not saying to ask those great pirates who have become the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' for help."

"What I mean is, we can also become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

In Ian's original plan, there was no goal of "becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea".

But now that they have successfully recruited Kuma, they need to meet with Dr. Vegapunk.
