While the news of the Golden City heist was spreading across the world, the ruins of the Sky Island, Ballon Terminal, were bustling with construction activity.
Ian, true to his word, imdiately began building a research facility on the island after securing a large sum of money, keeping only a portion for his personal use. Varua was ecstatic about the whole affair.
The research facility was being constructed on the Sky Island, but it did not interfere with the existing ruins of the Moon People. Instead, they found another location to build. Enel was quite satisfied with this arrangent, so during the construction of the research facility, he used his experience to guide everyone on how to use the Sky Island’s clouds for building. Although the Ballon Terminal was different from Enel’s original Angel Island, the principles behind forming island clouds were the sa.
In fact, the original ruins on this Sky Island were mostly built using island clouds, so there was no shortage of building materials.
The sailors of the Dragon Hunter Pirates naturally beca the construction workers, building under Varua’s direction according to the blueprints.
In just a few days, the outline of the research facility was already taking shape.
However, while the infrastructure was quickly coming together, equipping the research facility with all the necessary equipnt posed a challenge. Varua couldn’t simply create all the devices he needed out of thin air, so they had to find ways to purchase them from various countries across the sea.
After carefully reviewing his project plans, Varua realized he still needed so specialized instrunts. So, he called everyone over, intending to send them along with Ian on a procurent trip.
However, as soon as the crew of the Dragon Hunter Pirates heard that they had to go shopping with Ian, they all shuddered and quickly shook their heads in refusal.
“No way! I absolutely refuse to go!” especially Doroni, who jumped up like a cat whose fur had been ruffled. “I was the one who went with the captain to buy steel two days ago, and there’s no way I’m going again this ti!”
The other crew mbers, like Doroni, firmly expressed their refusal.
What a joke! The last ti Doroni went out with the captain, he ca back nearly exhausted, his fur flying backward from the speed, and when he landed, he could barely stand! That sight had scared a lot of people.
Ever since the captain’s flight ability had evolved, anyone brave enough to fly with him was practically risking their life…
Seeing that no one was willing to go, Varua sighed and said, “Well, it looks like the captain will have to go alone. Let’s just hope he can bring everything back by himself…”
After Varua turned to find Ian, the crew of the Dragon Hunter Pirates finally relaxed, patting their chests in relief. They curiously asked Doroni, “Is Boss Ian really flying that crazily now?”
“I swear!” Doroni raised his hand solemnly. “You absolutely don’t want to experience it a second ti!”
…
At that mont, Ian was sparring with Crocodile and Mr. 1.
This was part of the Dragon Hunter Pirates’ regular training. Ian knew that his presence had changed a lot of things. For example, Trafalgar Law and the others would have originally encountered many strong enemies while venturing in the New World on their own, gradually honing their abilities and becoming stronger. Now that they were following Ian, and considering the current fa of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, they had fewer opportunities to face worthy opponents. To ensure that their skills continued to improve, Ian took every opportunity to spar with them, helping them train.
Crocodile, eager to further develop his Devil Fruit abilities, had also joined in, with Mr. 1 naturally following his lead.
When Varua found them, he happened to see Ian landing a blow on the sandified Crocodile’s back with the flat of his sword, using Haki to knock him out of the air. In the next instant, Ian appeared behind Mr. 1, kicking him flying.
“5-0! The winner is still Ian!” Fujitora, acting as the referee, announced from the side.
Robin stood nearby, smiling as she watched her current boss beat up her forr boss.
“Damn it!” Crocodile got up, feeling a bit frustrated. “How did your speed increase again!?”
“Want to go again?” Ian asked with a grin. “Your Haki is still relatively weak; you need to train it more!”
Indeed, Ian never held back when sparring with Crocodile, always going all out. After getting beaten up so many tis, Crocodile finally awakened his Armant Haki under Ian’s relentless training, which at least covered one of his weaknesses. However, his Haki was still not refined enough, and he still couldn’t defeat Ian.
“Not this ti. I need a break!” Crocodile said, panting.
“Who’s next?” Ian turned to ask Fujitora.
“It’s Law and Urouge!” Fujitora replied.
As he spoke, Law and Urouge also got ready, eager to step forward.
They weren’t sure exactly what level Ian’s strength had reached, but having such a powerful figure personally training them was an opportunity no one would want to miss.
But just at that mont, Varua spoke up, “Hold on, Captain, just a mont!”
“What’s up?” Ian turned to look at Varua.
“Captain, I need to purchase quite a few instrunts. I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip!” Varua said, handing over a list.
Ian took the list and glanced at it, imdiately breaking into a wide grin. “Looks like I’ll be traveling to quite a few places. This should be interesting.”
“Yeah, yeah!” Varua replied, sweating a bit. The instrunts on that list couldn’t all be bought in one place, and he’d have to visit several islands—quite a hassle. But sohow, Ian seed to find that appealing.
“There’s quite a bit to get! Who’s coming with ?” Ian looked up and asked the group.
Upon hearing this, Law and Urouge imdiately turned around, quietly planning to sneak away; Crocodile and Mr. 1 promptly dropped to the ground, pretending to be dead; Fujitora looked up at the sky, acting as if he were sipping tea, and Enel simply transford into lightning and ran off decisively.
Seeing that no one was responding, Ian had no choice but to na soone himself, saying, “Robin…”
However, before he could finish, Robin imdiately crossed her arms and refused, “I don’t want to!”
Ian was speechless and had no choice but to ask, “And you, Reiju?”
But Reiju just replied with a chuckle, “Heh heh…”
“Baccarat?” Ian finally looked toward Baccarat, who had just joined the crew.
“Boss, think it over!” Baccarat, casually flipping a strand of hair behind his ear, said, “I can go with you, but are you sure that when you fly holding , you won’t get sucked dry by my luck and end up having an air crash?”
Ian wore a dumbfounded expression; this was a pretty strong reason, leaving him speechless…
“Fine, if no one wants to go, I’ll go myself!” Ian sighed and complained, “You guys are too lazy…”
But the others didn’t even respond to this, waving him off dismissively, urging him to hurry up and go.
So Ian reluctantly took the list, prepared the money he needed for the purchases, secured it in a suitcase, and locked it tight.
As he stood on the edge of the cloud, Ian’s expression gradually began to show excitent.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ian raised his hand and unleashed a Dark Dragon Wave, which he then absorbed. The black fla wings reappeared on his back.
Ian took off the hat on his head, and in the next mont, his entire body suddenly ignited with a golden aura!
This golden aura blazed like roaring flas, surging upwards with trendous force. Ian’s originally black hair also turned golden in that instant, standing on end like a spiky hedgehog.
Transformation! Super Saiyan!
In the past few days, Ian had finally collected several Trunks cards, successfully upgrading them to five-star red cards. Now, he could finally use the Super Saiyan transformation.
“Hahaha!” Overco with excitent, Ian, after completing his transformation, imdiately leaped off the cloud platform!
Fujitora, Crocodile, and the others all walked to the edge of the clouds, watching Ian from above.
Ian plumted straight down without spreading his wings to fly. Just as he was about to hit the surface of the ocean, Ian suddenly shouted, “Flight Technique!!!”
In the next mont, Ian, who had been falling straight down, suddenly made a sharp 90-degree turn right above the ocean, surrounded by a blazing golden aura!
At the sa ti, his flight speed exploded to its peak, producing a thunderous sonic boom as a white cloud of compressed air ford behind him. Ian propelled himself forward, and his body spiraling through the air in a terrifying display as he skimd just above the ocean’s surface.
The sea water along his path was split apart by the shockwaves he created, carving out a straight trench on the ocean surface, which slowly closed up after he had flown far away.
Everyone who witnessed his flight wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and let out a collective sigh of relief.
“Supersonic flight—only our captain can pull that off!” Fujitora said enviously. “Young people sure know how to have fun…”
“But while he might enjoy flying himself, anyone who has to fly with him is practically asking for death!” Urouge remarked with lingering fear. “Doroni has already experienced it once, and from what I heard, even breathing was difficult…”
“Hmph, and he wants to take us girls flying too!” Reiju huffed. “There’s no way we’re putting up with his show-off behavior!”
Unbeknownst to Ian, as he left, he beca the target of everyone’s complaints. At that mont, he was fully imrsed in the thrill of supersonic flight!
Even Ian himself hadn’t anticipated that combining the Black Dragon Wave’s fire wings with the Flight Technique would allow him to achieve such an incredibly fast flight mode. The sensation of slicing through the air, leaving everything behind in an instant, was simply exhilarating!
Now he finally understood why so many people loved speeding.
However, supersonic flight was far superior to re speeding. Ian thought that if it weren’t for the limit on his Nen consumption, he might even be able to fly around the planet a few tis. If he could really reach that level, then the distances across this vast ocean would pose no obstacle to him.
Wherever he wanted to go, he could go…
