Now, speaking of it, Ame no Habakiri, Enma, and Nidai Kitetsu were already in his possession, along with several other famous blades forged by craftsmen in Wano… in order to obtain Artificial Devil Fruits and strengthen their power, both sides had basically sold everything they could.
Therefore, upon thinking about it… It seemed that there was no longer anything in Wano that he wanted.
As for the Sea Prism Stone business, his cooperation with Kaido had been going quite well.
There was no need to create additional complications.
However, he did not know what the situation in Wano was like now. If the deaths were still insufficient, especially within the Kouzuki family, he would not mind taking a small loss and adding more fuel to the fire.
Ian frowned and pondered for a moment, considering whether to contact Kurozumi Kanjuro to ask about the situation.
"Roar!"
At this time, a dragon's roar suddenly sounded from the sky.
Then another roar followed.
Compared to the previous one, the domineering aura was slightly weaker, and it also carried a trace of a woman's sharp shout.
Ian immediately knew who had arrived. He raised his head and looked at the sky, and sure enough, he saw two enormous figures appearing above.
Then the two figures descended from the sky, gradually shrinking, and finally transformed into two gigantic human figures standing before Ian.
"Worororo!"
Kaido laughed loudly as he looked at Ian. "I didn't expect your territory to become this huge. I almost thought I had come to the wrong place. I remember Ohara not being this big. How did you do it?"
"Devil Fruit ability."
Looking at Kaido and the ashamed-looking Gerd, Ian put away his thoughts and said with a smile, "But you, why did you come?"
"Sorry, Ian."
Before Kaido could say anything, Gerd lowered her head and said shamefully, "I couldn't stop him!"
"Worororo. The giant race may be powerful, but I am one of the Four Emperors of the sea."
Hearing Gerd's words, Kaido did not mind and laughed proudly. "And I'm the real one!"
"It's fine."
After comforting Gerd, Ian looked at Kaido helplessly. "Next time, say something before you come. Don't scare my people."
"Worororo. Giants aren't that weak, and don't be fooled by how young she looks. I have investigated her."
Kaido waved his hand and said cheerfully. "This female giant of yours is from the same generation as that old hag, Linlin!"
Ian and Gerd: "…"
The two of them immediately looked at Kaido speechlessly.
Especially Gerd, her face instantly darkened, as if she was about to fight Kaido to the death.
"Ahem… let's get back to the point."
Ian quickly changed the subject and said to Kaido, "Why did you come looking for me?"
"What else could it be? Of course, I came to drink with you!"
Kaido ignored Gerd's angry glare, pulled out a chair, sat down, and grinned. "I didn't expect you to actually kill one of the Five Elders. That really makes me happy. Too bad I didn't know at the time. Otherwise, if the two of us had attacked together, we might really have been able to keep all the Five Elders there!"
…
Not to mention how long ago that incident had already happened, but just the two of them trying to keep all the Five Elders behind was simply a fantasy.
Although Kaido was indeed very strong and perhaps the Five Elders were not his opponents, Ian did not believe that Kaido could kill the immortal Five Elders.
Ian smiled helplessly and was about to say something.
"So? Have you thought about what I said before?"
Kaido spread his arms again and said with an excited, ferocious grin, "Join me in starting a world war. Let's make this boring world more interesting. As long as you agree, I can even help you become the king of the world!"
"Forget it. I have no interest in that."
Ian refused without hesitation. Then, as if remembering something, he smiled and said, "By the way, let me ask you something."
"What is it? Go ahead!"
Although somewhat disappointed that Ian had refused again, Kaido did not reject the question.
"How is Wano doing?"
Ian did not hide anything and directly voiced the doubt he had just been thinking about. "How is the fight between the Kouzuki family and Kurozumi Orochi going?"
"You're asking about such a boring matter? But speaking of it… Worororo."
Even though he called it boring, Kaido still showed a happy smile. "Ever since you sold Artificial Devil Fruits to them, the Kouzuki family and the Kurozumi family have been fighting like mad dogs. Especially after the hidden Kouzuki Family members were exposed, they could no longer hide and had no choice but to fight Orochi to the death."
At this point, Kaido's expression turned cold.
"I didn't expect those rats to hide so deeply. Even after so much time, they could still gather so many samurai. But they won't be able to jump around for much longer. That fellow, Orochi, won't let a single Kouzuki Family member go. It's just that recently, the whole Wano has become a complete mess and chaos everywhere. It's even affected my business. But still…"
His gaze fell on Ian again, and he grinned.
"Ever since those guys started fighting, my reputation has inexplicably gotten better. Some people even hope I'll step in to end the chaos. Even those mines that used to be cursed everywhere have now become the places people most want to enter. They think there's food there and that they can avoid the war."
"… That's quite an unexpected piece of good news."
Hearing Kaido's words, Ian could not stop his face from twitching.
Honestly, he had not expected that Kaido, whose reputation in Wano had long been completely ruined, would actually become the final winner because of this incident.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about that."
Since that was the case, he had no intention of getting involved in Wano's affairs anymore. He stood up directly and looked at Kaido with a smile.
"Since you're already here, let's have a drink. Maybe next time we won't be able to drink together."
Kaido: "...?"
What did he mean by not being able to drink next time?
Was he quitting wine?
Kaido was momentarily stunned, but upon hearing that there would be wine, he did not think too much about it and laughed loudly.
"This time you'd better drink with me until we're completely satisfied!"
