It is not without reason that the Warring States hesitated so much. Teana Wwww. ⒉
Being able to injure a lieutenant general, the captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirates is definitely not weak. If there is a reward, it must be more than 100 million.
Some time ago, according to the information obtained by the Navy, Fire Fist Ace was taken away by White Beard. Based on the understanding of White Beard in the Warring States Period, the old guy who loves to adopt sons as his family will definitely invite Fire Fist Ace.
Although there is no definite news yet, Sengoku estimates that it is a foregone conclusion for Fire Fist Ace to join the Whitebeard Pirates.
At this time, Fire Fist Ace has a bounty of 220 million Bailey. After joining the Whitebeard Pirates, his bounty is likely to be increased again, and with his joining, the Whitebeard Pirates strength will be improved again.
The matter of Fire Fist and Ace has not been resolved yet. If there is another 100 million-level bounty criminal, after letting Whitebeard know the news, maybe he will be tempted again...
If it is possible, the Warring States Period really does not want to offer so many rewards, because every additional criminal who offers a reward means that another enemy is standing on the opposite side of the navy. The navy is almost using the method of offering rewards to continuously create a One enemy after another.
Right now, Warring States is planning and preparing to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates. If there is another reward for this guy named... Ian, for a person named Ian, it will be like pushing another powerful guy into the arms of Whitebeard In the middle, this is fundamentally contradictory to his plan.
But... the Dragon Hunter Pirates, after all, injured a lieutenant general and a major general of the navy. If there is no reward for him, Sengoku will not be able to explain to his subordinates.
Zhan Guo was suffering from a headache, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and asked the flying squirrel, "You said just now, what kind of ability does this captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirates use?"
"The power of thunder and lightning!" The flying squirrel described: "It seems that with the power of lightning, he can gather iron sand to form a very special sword, and he can also inject lightning into the projectile and eject it at a very high speed!"
When Zhan Guo heard this, he frowned immediately, no! When Xiong came back, the clothes on his arms seemed to be burned by the flames!
After thinking about it, the Warring States searched out the photo of Ian back then, compared it with the photo brought back by the flying squirrel, and found that it was indeed the same person.
"In that case, there are two possibilities for this matter!" Zhan Guo secretly thought: "The first possibility is that Xiong lied, and the person who injured him was not the pirate hunter Ian, but another A person with the ability to fire! As for the second possibility, the bear is not lying, but this pirate hunter, Ian, has a new lightning ability!"
Known as a wise general in the Warring States Period, his mind was naturally very careful, and he began to analyze: "If it is the first possibility, then why did Xiong lie? The fact that he was injured cannot be faked. There is him at the Naval Research Institute. The maintenance report... However, it is not ruled out that this is a bitter trick of the bear. This pirate hunter Ian wears the same hat as him. There must be some connection between this. He may be trying to hide something for this pirate hunter Ian …”
The first possibility is that after analyzing this point, Zhan Guo couldn't go any further. He didn't know Xiong's true identity at all and lacked key information, so naturally he couldn't reason anything out.
So, he began to try to analyze the second possibility.
"Ian's original name was Burning Blade, which means that he can indeed use flames!" Zhan Guo analyzed: "If this kind of flame is regarded as a special sword skill, then he is fighting against the fighting dog." During the battle, the lightning power displayed may be another ability obtained!"
Another kind of ability is obtained, which is mostly produced after eating a devil fruit. This pirate hunter Ian, after fighting with the bear, suddenly disappeared for a while. After reappearing, he not only became a pirate, but also had more got a special ability...
Warring States suddenly remembered the two devil fruits stolen by the Tianlong people!
At the beginning, the Tianlong people did not report this incident. After all, in their view, the devil fruit is not a big deal, but when the Navy investigated the incident in detail later, it found this missing link.
Since the two fruits were stolen, the navy has been keeping an eye on the auction houses in the underground world for a while now, wanting to see if anyone has auctioned a devil fruit that has the same shape as the stolen fruit, and wants to use this as a clue to proceed. investigation.
Now Sengoku suddenly thought, what if the fruit that is most likely to be a phantom beast was eaten by the pirate hunter Ian
"In this way, it can explain why he suddenly has a lightning ability!" Zhan Guo followed this line of thinking: "If this pirate hunter Ian escaped after being injured in a fight with a bear, and then Waiting for an opportunity to infiltrate into Marie Gioia, intending to steal the devil fruit, but was unexpectedly discovered by the Tianlong people, so they murdered them?"
"No, no, if it was him, then why did he show that amazing flame ability when fighting with Aokiji?" Sengoku frowned: "Could it be that at that time he had already eaten the Aokiji? That strange devil fruit has acquired a stronger flame ability? How to explain the lightning ability behind it?"
"Or, that fruit can allow him to use the power of fire and lightning at the same time?" Thinking of this, Zhan Guo was a little surprised: "This seems very possible, after all, it is just a guess that the fruit is a phantom beast , what kind of devil fruit it is, only the person who eats it will know, the lightning ability, maybe it was developed later?"
No matter what kind of guess it is, Warring States feels that this pirate hunter Ian is very problematic. Didn’t the flying squirrel also say that when he saw that there were people of several races on the boat of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, at that time I also once suspected that he might be the mastermind of the Mary Joya incident, so he chased the other party to Tiaodao, which led to the subsequent oolong incident.
Boom! Sengoku slammed the table, stood up and said loudly, "Investigate Ian, the captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirates immediately!"
"Shouldn't you offer him a reward first?" The flying squirrel was stunned for a moment and asked.
"No! Absolutely not!" Zhan Guo glared at him and said, "I don't want to make a second joke!"
The black-clothed masked man was not able to find out the identity before, so he offered a reward to him. This matter has already embarrassed the navy. If it is completed, if it is confirmed that Ian is the man in black at all, it means that the navy has offered two rewards to the same person!
What does this prove? Proof of the incompetence of the Navy! Warring States will never allow such a situation to happen...
Although the flying squirrel didn't understand what Zhan Guo was thinking, he carried out his orders unconditionally.
More than ten days after the Second Slave Emancipation Movement (the internal name of the Navy) in Mary Gia, the Navy finally ended its investigation like a fly without a head, and finally found the right direction.
Of course, Ian is now only regarded as the main target of suspicion. Everything can only be confirmed after the navy's investigation results come out. It is hard to say how long this investigation will take.
Ian naturally didn't know what happened in the Navy Headquarters, but even if he knew, he wouldn't be surprised.
He has long been mentally prepared to discover his true identity. People living in this world, no matter what they do, will always leave traces and clues. He didn't expect that he could hide the truth from the navy for a lifetime by wearing a mask at the beginning.
At this time, the Dragon Hunter Pirates had already seen the island they were going to arrive under the guidance of Margaret.
This is a small island, and its name on the chart is Gramber Island.
After entering the port and stopping the boat, Ian and the others sent their hands to enter the island for purchases. Ian didn't want to repeat the mistakes of Tiaodao again. The ghost knows what unexpected things will happen on this island, so I will finish the supplies first.
Ian did not go to the island for the time being, but stayed on the boat, waiting for everyone to return.
About two hours later, members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates came back carrying supplies in large and small bags.
"Captain!" Zeke of the long-handed family said to Ian excitedly as soon as he came back: "This island is so strange. It's obviously not rich in products, and the residents on the island are also very poor, but there is actually a big island here." What about the casino!"
"What's so strange?" Ian said with a smile, "Since the products are not rich, if there is no way to attract tourists, how can the people on this island survive?"
"Hey!" Zeke rubbed his hands and said, "Captain, why don't we go to the casino? We're all here..."
Ian didn't answer him, but looked at the expressions of other people first, and then he found that many of them were eager and expectant eyes.
Sailors and men sailing on the sea basically have two mouths, one for wine and the other for gambling. When Ian was on board, he often saw his crew members playing cards and gambling together. Interfere, just tell them enough is enough, and he knows very well that if they don't find something for them to do on a ship that lacks entertainment, they will soon be bored and crazy.
When they were on the ship, they only gambled among the crew members, winning or losing or something, and they didn’t have much money at all, but now they heard that there is a casino on the island, the situation is different.
"Okay, since you want to go to the casino, let's go together!" Ian smiled and said, "I just plan to make some money too!"
"Whoa! Long live the captain!" The crowd shouted excitedly, and then enthusiastically surrounded Ian to get off the boat.
Of course, there are also some who are unwilling to go and stay on the ship voluntarily, such as Matthew and Erlanger.
Ian wants to go to the casino to make money, not that he also likes to gamble, or has the talent to gamble, but...
In Ian's impression, people who run casinos are generally not good people, and they don't plan to stay on the island for a long time, so maybe they are going to grab this casino before leaving
Regardless of your gambling skills, Ian only knows that what he has now is just one thing.
