One Piece : Winged Dragons of the Beast Pirates

At the same time…

The Golden Dragon ship had arrived at the front of Fish-Man Island.

"What a huge bubble!"

Yamato marveled.

Fish-Man Island was wrapped in a giant bubble. Above the giant bubble was a smaller one, and inside it was the Ryugu Palace.

Fish-Man Island, though the homeland of fish-men and mermaids, wasn't a place where they wanted to stay submerged in water all the time.

In fact, fish-men and mermaids who lived in the deep sea craved sunlight and air even more than humans did.

Sunlight came from Eve, the Sun Tree, and the air was provided by these two massive bubbles.

They separated the seawater, allowing the interior of Fish-Man Island to be filled with air.

"So, what do you think, Jack?"

Ian smiled and spoke.

"Fish-Man Island."

"It looks pretty good."

Jack nodded lightly.

As a fish-man, he had never been to Fish-Man Island.

He was born overseas and grew up in the Beast Pirates.

"Let's go then, time to land."

Ian said, "Let's see if it's really as good inside."

To land on Fish-Man Island, you couldn't just charge straight through the giant bubble like Luffy and his crew. To prevent human invasions, the enormous bubble surrounding Fish-Man Island was divided into several layers.

As soon as a ship collided and passed through the bubble, the protective membrane around the ship would break away, and the large ship would fall and shatter to pieces.

Even if they didn't fall to their deaths, the next obstacle was the thick layer of seawater. The water, filled with strong currents, was clearly not something that could be easily crossed.

So, the best option was to go through the front gate.

The Golden Dragon slowly approached the massive gates at the front of Fish-Man Island.

Though it was called a gate, it was actually a membrane layer that separated the outside sea from the island.

A group of Fish-Man soldiers stood guard outside the gate.

"Bring the ship inside!" Ian shouted loudly, giving the order.

Without hesitation, the large ship charged straight toward the massive gate.

Seeing this, the Fish-Man guards hurried to meet them. Their duty was to inspect any ships trying to enter Fish-Man Island.

Even pirates had to go through this process to land.

But now, this ship was attempting to crash through the gate. This was something that could warrant direct contact with the royal army.

However…

When they saw the design on the ship's sail, it was clear. These soldiers were completely stunned.

Not only did they not try to stop the ship, but they were also too shocked to even speak a word. They could only watch in awe as the ship made its way into Fish-Man Island.

That symbol!

No way!

Boom!

The enormous Golden Dragon slammed into the massive gate.

As it passed through the membrane layer, the coating on the ship shattered. The ship soared into the heart of Fish-Man Island, landing in a rushing river, flowing forward with great momentum.

After passing through a long tunnel, the interior of Fish-Man Island finally came into view.

"Oh!"

Yamato exclaimed, gazing up at the sky in amazement. "There's blue sky and white clouds under the sea!"

Not only did Fish-Man Island have air, but sunlight also poured down from the sky, and there were even floating clouds above.

I don't really understand how it works, but it's beautiful.

On either side of the river, the buildings of Fish-Man Island were now clearly visible.

These buildings all have a very Fish-Man Island style, often decorated with shells or corals. Many of them are structured so that the upper part is above the air, while the lower part sinks into the water. After all, the Fish-Men and Mermaids are amphibious.

Looking ahead along the river, further ahead, there's a wide bay with many ships docked here.

It must be Fish-Man Island's port, right?

Then...

Ian looked up.

In the sky, Ryugu Castle was clearly visible.

It wasn't too far, so it shouldn't make them wait too long, right?

At the entrance of Fish-Man Island.

"It's the Beasts Pirates!!"

The soldiers guarding the gate screamed.

"The Beasts Pirates are here! Hurry and notify King Neptune!!"

A slight mistake could lead to a disaster!

So, in the skies above Fish-Man Island, within Ryugu Castle.

King Neptune, the giant King of the Ryugu Kingdom, received the communication from the guards.

"You say, the Beasts Pirates?"

The screams echoed throughout Ryugu Castle.

Below, at Fish-Man Island's harbor bay.

At this moment, chaos had already broken out here.

The arrival of the Golden Dragon was like a bomb, instantly causing the entire bay to explode in commotion.

"It's the Beasts Pirates!"

This shout instantly swept across the entire harbor.

Whether human, fish-man, or mermaids, whether merchant, pirate, or local resident, at this moment, everyone in this port was a fearful slave, only able to run away crying out for their parents.

That's the Beasts Pirates! One of the strongest pirate crews in the world!

How can the name be ignored? The name?

Ian looked at the crowd fleeing in panic and almost wanted to laugh.

Sometimes, being too famous isn't always a good thing.

There are times when you want to interact with others as an ordinary person, but then you realize that a sad, thick barrier already stands between you and them.

However, not everyone chose to run.

At least three types of people, upon realizing the identity of the Golden Dragon, chose not to flee.

"Hey kid! You're Ian the Skyfire, right?!"

A highly excited voice came from the side.

Ian turned his head and saw a pirate ship rapidly approaching, blocking the way of the Golden Dragon.

On that ship, a sturdy man with a thick beard and an imposing axe in hand was looking at him with excitement, grinning. "Hehehe, your head is mine! Once I take you down, I'll be famous worldwide!"

This was the first type—these clueless fools never seem to be absent.

Ian couldn't even summon the slightest bit of interest.

But luckily, someone else was interested.

"Do you think you can hurt Ian with just this?"
