Morgans' tone now held a bit more surprise. "Is that really okay?"
Ian said indifferently. "The world government will get what it wants, so they won't think about any other schemes."
"Oh, I get it now. You're planning to turn the tables, but what about Kaido?"
The World Government's tricks were almost too obvious.
But they were still hard to counter.
Once suspicion arises, it only grows endlessly.
Because at this moment, Kaido might truly feel that Ian posed a significant threat.
"Don't underestimate the bond between Kaido-sensei and me! We are the Beast Pirates!"
Ian felt like he was the protagonist of a shounen manga as he said these words with righteous fervor, imagining that the next moment he'd sound the battle cry and use a punch from the Winged Dragon of Ra to obliterate the enemy.
Morgans didn't fully understand but still responded, "Got it."
It was time to return to Onigashima.
Not because he was in a rush to explain things to Kaido.
Rather, since he had already decided to go along with the plan, it was only natural to complete the act properly.
As for whether Kaido would actually be suspicious, Ian had never doubted that.
The high-ranking officials in the world government, the Five Elders, would likely never understand, but even Kaido, despite his cruelty, cunning, and brutality, adhered to a certain sense of honor. He never doubted the comrades he recognized.
This was essentially a unique trait of this world. Even villainous factions tended to be very united, rarely engaging in backstabbing.
Baroque Works, CP9, Moria, the Donquixote Family, and the Charlotte Family were all .
On the other hand, the relationship between the World Government and the Navy was rather delicate. If the story followed the original trajectory, Ian could almost guarantee that the Navy, or at least parts of it, would betray the World Government.
When Ian mentioned temporarily halting the plans to occupy nearby islands and returning to Wano, his companions immediately became excited.
Yamato even directly asked, "Yay! Are we going to fight Dad?"
"Stop saying foolish things."
Ian knocked the girl's head. "This is the World Government's conspiracy."
His companions were stunned.
Then Ian explained what the world government had been up to.
They were all shocked.
Yamato angrily shouted, "I got all excited for nothing!"
Ian gave this guy a sideways glance.
You really are a good daughter to Kaido.
Anyway, the Golden Dragon ship is heading back.
At the same time, Mary Geoise.
"Ian has already started returning to Wano, and he doesn't even have time to seize the territory left by Ochoku."
"Looks like that kid finally got anxious, rushing back to explain himself to Kaido."
"However, he even took down Ochoku? At this rate, it won't be long before he truly surpasses Kaido."
"The King Punch, is it really such an interesting technique? Send CP0 to Prodence Kingdom."
"What's going on with the Beasts Pirates?"
"On Onigashima, many pirates are responding quite enthusiastically. Ian's reputation in the Beasts Pirates is very high after these years."
"Looks like our plan is progressing smoothly. Now, let's see how Kaido reacts. Keep a close watch on Onigashima."
The Golden Dragon ship returned at full speed. With the help of sea beasts, it only took less than a week to return to Wano.
Ian couldn't be bothered with using the hidden harbor anymore. He directly transformed into a huge golden dragon, holding the large ship and flying into Wano's inner seas.
Before long, Onigashima appeared before Ian once again.
When Ian returned to Onigashima, he could clearly feel the strange atmosphere in the air.
The pirates looked at him with odd expressions.
Some were full of doubt and astonishment, while others were filled with fanaticism and longing.
It seems the world government's public relations efforts were really effective. Even the pirates on Onigashima were affected.
Beneath the already turbulent sea, it seemed like two conflicting emotions were brewing.
But fortunately, the officers should be fine.
Before coming back, he had already had a conversation with Kaido, explaining the situation.
The specially encrypted transponder snail wasn't easy to eavesdrop on.
"Ian! You little bastard, you actually dare to come back!"
The massive Allosaurus roared aggressively as it came out of the main gate of Onigashima, shouting at Ian, "Ungrateful brat, I heard you're trying to take Kaido-sama's position!"
Ian's mouth twitched slightly. Why did it feel like he had seen this scene so many times before?
However, the acting wasn't bad.
Uncle Queen's loud voice attracted the attention of many pirates.
Just as Ian was about to say something,
Thunder crashed from the top of Onigashima.
Yamato immediately tugged at Ian's sleeve, eager to join him.
Just like countless times before, she wanted to face her father together with Ian.
But this time, Ian shook his head and rubbed her head with his hand. "Let me handle this on my own."
Boa Hancock looked worried.
Ian just smiled. "It's just the usual master-disciple fight."
After saying that, he shot up into the air, heading straight for the top of Onigashima.
Soon, he saw Kaido standing in the middle of the rough ground, holding an iron rod.
Ian lightly landed on the ground. "Kaido-sensei, looks like we'll have to put on a good show for the World Government."
Now, the Beast Pirates had become too powerful.
If they couldn't make the World Government feel at ease, then they would likely face their thunderous retaliation.
That would be troublesome.
"That kind of thing doesn't matter at all."
Kaido's mouth curled into a grin. "Hehehe! Little brat, since you want to surpass me, come and show me your strength!"
Ian was stunned for a moment.
No, Kaido-sensei, didn't we already have a clear conversation on the phone before?
Why does it feel like you never heard it? You're just thinking about fighting, huh?
Wait, could it be that Uncle Queen wasn't acting earlier?
But then again, over the past two years, I've been away so much, it's true I haven't fought with Kaido-sensei in a long time.
Seeing Ian's confusion, Kaido immediately frowned and snapped angrily, "What are you standing there for? Don't tell me, you don't want to surpass me?"
Ian paused slightly, then a smile tugged at his lips. "Of course, it's my dream!"
What he sought was ultimate peace, and for that, no one in the world should be able to surpass him! Not even Kaido!
"Hehehe! Then what are you waiting for!"
A wild smile appeared on Ian's face.
Truly, almost forgot—there was no need for any special design. What was about to happen next was something the World Government would be delighted to see.
"Then witness it well, Kaido-sensei, my growth!"
The battle between the world's strongest teacher and student begins!
