One Piece : Winged Dragons of the Beast Pirates

Dressrosa, located in the front part of the New World, is a summer island.

This is a rather scenic island. Due to its climate, it is always in full bloom, with vast flower fields stretching outside the city, filling the entire town with the fragrance of flowers. It is definitely a great place for tourism.

Before the establishment of the World Government, this island was ruled by the Donquixote family.

But later, the Donquixote family went to Mariejois and became Celestial Dragons, so the island got a new royal family: the Riku family.

This family has been in power for over eight hundred years.

Under their rule, the development of the country can be described as rather modest.

Neither poor nor overly rich, but at least they could afford the heavy Heavenly Tribute taxes.

The country is calm and peaceful.

However, this peace was destined to be broken today.

After nearly a month of sailing, the Golden Dragon finally approached this country.

"Is that Dressrosa?"

Black Maria stood at the ship's railing, gazing at the distant land. "Doesn't it remind you a bit of Wano Country?"

What she meant by "a bit like" was that Dressrosa's edges were surrounded by towering mountain walls, which at first glance, resembled Wano Country quite a bit.

Jack, hearing this, asked, "Is this country also built on high ground?"

"Only a ring of giant rocks on the outside," Ian answered.

Dressrosa's geography is quite unique. The island is surrounded by a circle of massive rocks, acting as a natural city wall. 

In the center of the island stands a giant stone, where the royal palace, known as the King's Plateau, is located.

"The Heal-Heal Fruit is here?"

Law leaned over the ship's railing, his face filled with desire.

"It's in this country, but not on this island," Ian replied, turning around. "Babanuki! Turn the ship! We'll sail around the country. There's a small island to the north."

"Yes, sir!"

Babanuki responded loudly.

"Truly, Big Brother Ian! You're so knowledgeable!"

Jack's face was full of admiration.

It's nothing. Watch a few more episodes of the anime, and you'll know too.

The Golden Dragon circled around Dressrosa, and soon they saw a lush island.

It was much smaller than Dressrosa, with abundant greenery and no signs of human life. It was a completely untouched island covered in primeval forest.

This was Greenbit.

The place where the Tontatta Tribe, a dwarves race, lived.

"Hm?"

Yamato, who had been gazing at Greenbit from afar, suddenly looked down. "Ian?"

"Whoosh!"

The sea suddenly exploded as a giant fish, several dozen meters long, flew out of the water.

The fish had a very peculiar appearance. Its body resembled a goldfish, but its color was a dark red. Its head, however, was like that of a bull, with a pair of sharp horns, and its mouth was filled with sharp teeth.

"This is a fighting fish."

The knowledgeable Ian began explaining. "It's a fierce fish that lives near this small island. Just like a bull, it will attack anything in front of it."

"Is this really the time for a lecture?"

Law, eyes wide with fury, said, "It's coming for us!"

They were now just a step away from the Heal-Heal Fruits that Ian had mentioned. There was no way he could die in the jaws of a fish here!

At the moment he screamed, a shadow leaped into the air.

"Heeyah!"

Yamato directly kicked the head of the giant grouper with one powerful strike, cracking its skull and sending it plummeting into the sea.

Law showed a look of excitement, feeling as though he had survived a close call.

But at the same time, Ian continued, "It's worth noting that these fishes always appear in large numbers."

"Huh?"

Law's excitement froze on his face. He glanced at Ian, then hurriedly looked down below.

Splash, splash, splash, splash!

The sea surface instantly erupted, with massive grouper-like sea creatures continuously leaping upwards, charging directly toward Yamato.

"Hahaha!"

But Yamato only felt exhilarated.

She moved with the agility of a monkey, hopping from one grouper's head to another.

With each jump, a fish was stomped into the sea floor.

The fishes desperately tried to bite her, but they couldn't even touch the strands of her flying hair.

"Ian! This is so much fun!"

The young girl felt like she had found a new toy.

"..."

Law twitched the corner of his mouth.

Well, as long as you're happy.

"Then enjoy yourself."

Ian naturally didn't mind.

Just a bunch of fish.

And so, under Yamato's protection, the Golden Dragon ship finally docked at the shore of Greenbit.

"Babanuki, I'll leave the ship to you."

"Leave it to me!"

After giving instructions to Babanuki, the five of them, Ian and the others, along with Law, landed on the island.

It seemed that there were no signs of human activity on the island. Even though it was right next to Dressrosa, the dense jungle left no room to step anywhere. It was less of a jungle and more like an unbroken, continuous fence of trees.

At this moment, Jack's importance became evident. He transformed into a giant mammoth, stomping forward forcefully. All obstacles ahead, whether trees or vines, were crushed and pushed aside, creating a path.

"Ian, are there really people here?"

Law asked uneasily.

The island, no matter how you looked at it, appeared to be a primitive forest.

"Idiot! Are you doubting Brother Ian?"

Before Ian could respond, Jack turned around furiously and shouted, "Brother Ian never makes mistakes!"

Even Black Maria nodded approvingly. "Yeah, after all, it's Ian."

These guys!

Law gritted his teeth.

You all believe in Ian too much! Is this the time for idol worship?

"There are people, but probably not the kind you're imagining."

Ian casually continued walking forward. "Don't worry, with all the noise we've made, they should be here soon."

"Alright."

Law nervously rubbed his pants with both hands. His dark-ringed eyes kept darting around, not letting any movement escape his notice.

Snap.

He suddenly heard a light sound.

It was the sound of a twig being moved.

Are they here?

Law quickly turned his head.

His expression instantly softened.
