"What's that?" Ace looked at Jimmy, and in front of this familiar person, he finally spoke a word.
However, Jimmy had a look of panic on his face. Before he even got there, he said loudly: "Yes...it's Boss Ian! He... he's actually wanted!"
Ace was startled, and quickly grabbed the reward list in Jimmy's hand and looked at it. Who would the photo on it be if it wasn't Ian
"5... 500 million!?" Ace's hand holding the bounty list trembled a little. He couldn't tell whether it was caused by worry or joy. He grabbed Jimmy by the collar and shouted, "What's going on? ? Isn’t Ian a pirate hunter? How could he be rewarded by the navy? And it’s still such a high amount!?”
To be honest, although Ian has made such a big commotion in the New World in Mary Gioia for a short period of time, Ace doesn't know his current situation at all, because during this time, he happened to be brought by Whitebeard. During the time on the ship, at the beginning, Ace was trying to assassinate Whitebeard because he didn’t want to recognize Whitebeard’s father and wanted to be his One Piece. In two months, there were more than 100 assassinations, almost every day. It's going to be done twice, how can he have time to pay attention to the news from the outside world
Not to mention him, even Jimmy and the others are the same, they must be following the pace of the captain Ace, Ace has not surrendered for a day, they are the members of the Spade Pirates, they are all fighting hard.
And the members of the Whitebeard Pirates still give them food and entertainment every day, but it is impossible to send them a newspaper every day, right
As a result, Ace and Jimmy didn't even know about Ian's trouble with Marie Gioia. Even when they heard the discussion from the members of the Whitebeard Pirates when they were on the boat, they didn't think about Ian at all.
However, now, in the newspaper that Jimmy got just sent by Newsbird, Ian's reward offer has just been updated by the Navy, replacing the original photo of the masked man in black with Ian's photo. This led to the true face of the mastermind of the Mary Joya incident, which was officially exposed to the eyes of the world for the first time.
The communication between Ace and Jimmy naturally attracted the attention of other people. Marco came over with a wine glass, looked at the reward list, and said in surprise: "500 million Baileys!? Such a high reward, ah! It's only limited to live capture, isn't this person the mastermind of the Mary Gioia arson incident before? Ace, you actually know him!?"
Hearing this, Ace quickly turned around and grabbed Marco, "You know Ian? What happened to the Marie Joa arson incident? Tell me quickly!"
Foil Vista next to him also came over, stroked his beard and said, "You don't know about this? It made a lot of noise at the time. I heard that this person sneaked into Marie Gioia during the World Conference. Set fire to the holy place!"
"Ian, he burned Marie Gioia!?" Ace had an expression of disbelief.
"Of course, this is the version promoted by the World Government!" Marco said: "According to the information we received from the Whitebeard Pirates, the real situation is that this person killed a Celestial Dragon in Mary Joa and took away two At the same time, he took advantage of the chaos to release more than 500 Celestial dragon slaves, and took them away from Marie Gioia. For this reason, the Navy headquarters dispatched General Aokiji to hunt them down, but Aokiji was injured by him instead. !"
"Haha, this young man is really amazing!" Foil Pista laughed and said, "When my father heard the news, he laughed at the Warring States Marshal of the Navy headquarters. I haven't seen him for a long time. Seeing him so happy."
Marco said: "It's not something ordinary people can do to escape from Aokiji's hands and injure him in turn. Ace, do you know him? Is he also a natural ability user?"
"No, he doesn't seem to be capable!" Ace shook his head and said, "Stolen two devil fruits? Yes, Ian once said that he wanted to search for devil fruits for his sister... So , did he really do it?"
Foil Vista looked carefully at the description on the reward list, and said, "Dragon Hunter Pirates? Could it be that he was the one who was on Clockwork Island some time ago?"
"What's going on?" Ace asked Vista with a look of surprise, "What Clockwork Island?"
"Some time ago, didn't I go out once under the order of my father?" Bista explained: "You also saw the scene of my sailing at that time, and that time was because of the two lieutenant generals of the Navy Headquarters, the flying squirrel and the fighting dog. People, boarded Clockwork Island to catch the mastermind of the Mary Joya incident. Clockwork Island is the territory of our Whitebeard Pirates. The navy landed on the island so hard, and some of our second team were petrified. In retaliation, Dad asked me to destroy a fortress under construction by the navy together with Namuir, the captain of the eighth team... Didn't expect the cause of this incident to be because of this young man named Ian?"
Marco also said: "I heard from the second team's Tiqi report that this Ian had a big fight with Boyahan Cook of Shichibukai, as well as two lieutenant generals, Flying Squirrel and Pitbull, and Pitbull was killed. He directly broke a wrist!"
I don't know if I don't talk, but when we chatted, Ace was surprised to find that Ian had done such a shocking event in just two months, and this change caught Ace off guard for a while.
"He... didn't he always want to be a pirate hunter?" Ace didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to say this.
Jimmy interjected: "Boss Ace, Boss Ian, he said that the reason why he became a pirate hunter is to make money to buy Devil Fruits? Since there are ready-made ones, why save money?"
This made Ace, Marco, and Vista all nod their heads. They all knew what kind of pissed Tianlongren was. The three of them didn't think there was anything wrong with Ian's attempt to snatch Tianlongren's Devil Fruit.
It's just... Vista sighed: "It's understandable to snatch devil fruits and free slaves, but why did he kill a Celestial Dragon? This is not an easy thing to do..."
"Ian must have his own reasons for killing Tianlong Ren!" Ace said at this time: "I know him, he will not be the kind of person who shoots without thinking."
"Yes, Boss Ian must have a reason for doing this!" Jimmy also echoed.
Marco and Vista looked at each other, not understanding why Ace and Jimmy trusted the person named Ian on the reward list so much, but they still said to Ace: "If this person is your friend , then you'd better find him as soon as possible, because the Tianlong people, the world government and the navy headquarters are all angry with him. According to the news we just got, the navy headquarters sent two admirals at one time, and ten warships entered In the new world, we wondered why the navy made such a big move, but now judging from this updated reward list, their real purpose is probably to arrest your friend!"
Two admirals! ? Ten warships!
After Ace heard this battle strength, he couldn't help being surprised together with Jimmy.
Ace was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "I... I want to see him!"
"See him?" Marco was slightly taken aback, "Who are you seeing?"
"See Whitebeard!" Ace said.
Marco and Vista looked at each other, turned around and said, "Come with us!"
Under the guidance of the two, Ace found White Beard who was recuperating at the beach on the island. When he saw the three of them appear, White Beard laughed and said, "Ace, you stupid son, the banquet is specially for you!" Yes, you are not going to the banquet, what are you doing here?"
Ace didn't speak, came to Whitebeard, suddenly knelt down in front of Whitebeard, and said, "Father, I know, I just joined the Whitebeard Pirates, so I shouldn't make such a request. But I want to beg you once, please help me save someone!"
"What's going on?" Whitebeard was taken aback, it was the first time he heard Ace call him that.
Marco approached White Beard and explained the situation to him in a low voice. Then White Beard frowned and asked Ace, "You want me to help you save this kid named Ian? Who is he to you?"
"Brother... No, family!" Ace said without raising his head, "He is also my family just like you!"
White Beard didn't speak, but frowned and began to think, while Ace and Marco didn't dare to interrupt, quietly waiting for him to make a decision.
After a while, Whitebeard stood up suddenly, his stalwart body blocked the sun and cast a shadow in front of Ace, he stood in front of Ace and said, "Get up son, since you called me daddy , then I, as a father, naturally have to protect my sons from wind and rain!"
"You... you agreed!?" Ace looked up at Whitebeard in disbelief.
Marco said on the sidelines with some concern: "But daddy... the combat power of the navy this time..."
"Gula la la la!" Whitebeard laughed loudly, and said, "It doesn't matter if the entire navy is dispatched, I am Whitebeard! This little guy named Ian is Ace's family. It’s our family, not to mention, I also want to see what kind of person is this man who can make Ace call me Dad for the first time!”
When Marco and Vista heard this, they both smiled slightly and stopped talking.
After Whitebeard stopped laughing, he suddenly asked: "This Ian, the devil fruit he snatched, do you know what kind of fruit it is?"
Ace froze for a moment, then shook his head, but Marco said: "I heard that there may be a phantom beast fruit like me..."
"It seems that the rumors are true!" Whitebeard sighed, bowed his head and said to Ace: "Don't worry, stupid son! That little guy, even if we don't take action, he will probably be fine, because I heard , Beast Kaido seems to be looking for him too! But because he covered his face before, Kaido didn't have any clues. Now that his photo has been exposed, maybe that guy Kaido will also appear... "
Marco, Vista, and including Ace, what the three of them heard today, it can be said that adding up their surprises for a year is not as much as today!
Kaido? Kaido the Four Emperors!
What is he doing with Ian? Could it be that Kaido wants to get the phantom beast fruit? Or, if Ian has already eaten the Phantom Beast Fruit, then Kaido wants to include him in the Hundred Beasts Pirates!
