When the Marshal of the Warring States was having a headache, Ian and his Dragon Hunter Pirates were on vacation at the moment.
When they learned that the Princess Saliste of the Principality of Salamis was actually a compatriot who escaped from Marie Joa, all the members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates immediately regarded this country as their home. After Ian healed them, he played wildly on this island.
In retrospect, after escaping from Marie Gioia and the formation of the Pirates, the people on board, including Ian, never seemed to have a real rest, and they kept repeating the three modes of fighting, fleeing and sailing. And after repelling the pursuit of the admiral this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that the navy would not send any more men to hunt them down in the short term.
So taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone planned to make some adjustments.
With Princess Saliste around, Margaret and a group of girls on the boat became good friends with her immediately, and under her leadership, they lingered in various shopping streets of Salamis Island every day. , shopping and playing, and Ian and his group of men are looking for all kinds of food, pubs, entertainment venues and casinos in this country. Ian gave each of them a large amount of pocket money, and then They go to play.
So what is Ian doing
On the island of Salamis, in the private sunny beach of His Majesty Carlos, the blue sea water gently washes the golden sand in waves, and the majestic wind blows several tall coconut trees making rustling sounds. This was originally extremely comfortable. It is a cool coastal scenery, but in such a beautiful scenery, no one on the beach enjoys the sea water. Instead, a huge sun umbrella is inserted in place.
Under the sun umbrella, however, a square table was set up. Ian, Fujitora, Ace, and Marco, the four of them were gathering around this square table, shuffling mahjong tiles.
That's right, this is the mahjong that Ian promised Uncle Fujitora. Among all the gambling skills in this world, there is no such thing.
This is the reason why Ian doesn't like to gamble, because besides playing mahjong, he doesn't understand other games like Stud Eleven, so how can he love it
But mahjong is different...
As long as there are suitable materials, Ian can easily carve a whole set of mahjong. When he enthusiastically taught Fujitora how to play and brought in Ace and Marco, the four of them only tried a few games. Put it, and immediately fell in love with the gameplay of this mahjong.
Fujitora is probably the happiest one, because this mahjong game is different from other gambling techniques, and Fujitora can completely draw the mahjong tiles when he is invisible to the eyes!
After mastering the trick, Fujitora looked like a veteran when he touched the cards.
"Crack!" Fujitora held a card, rubbed his middle finger lightly, and then slammed it in front of the table, making a shocking sound, and then laughed loudly: "Erbing! You know the same thing, you're stupid! "
He dumped the mahjong tiles in front of him on the table, and cheerfully collected the money amidst the sighs of Ian and the others.
In the past, Fujitora basically lost out of ten bets and lost nine times. In addition to bad luck, he was often deceived by others because he could not see. But now when playing mahjong, it is like a divine help. After just a few laps, Ian, Ai The three of them, Si and Marco, lost their faces green! It feels like Fujitora has exploded his decades of gambling luck.
Now the one-month bet between Ian and Fujitora has come, but Fujitora has never mentioned the matter of leaving. He has now completely accepted his identity as the deputy captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirates.
This made Yi An wonder, could he be worried about leaving and no one would play mahjong with him
If I remember correctly, Fujitora originally liked to play dice, but now, Ian has successfully reversed Fujitora's hobby...
Not to mention Fujitora, even Ace and Marco, although their faces turned green after losing money, they still shuffled the cards and continued to fight.
On the beach, instead of enjoying the sun and sea water, but openly gathering under an umbrella to gamble, this is a very unsightly thing, but there is no way, the four people around the mahjong table, except for Ian, are all devil fruit abilities Or, can you expect them to dare to swim in the water? So this so-called private beach of the royal family is completely useless.
"Red!" Ian played a card and asked Ace, "Have you not heard from the white-bearded father yet?"
"No!" Ace shook his head and said, "It's people from the Pirate Guerrillas who came once and sent Dad a phone bug. Zefa contacted Dad once, but it seems that they haven't reached an agreement."
In the past few days, Ian also learned about the detention of Zefa's students, Ain and Binz. When he learned about this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. I didn't think about catching these two people, but I just took action to stop them in order to prevent the two capable users from making trouble and causing too many casualties to the Dragon Hunter Pirates.
It's just the latter thing, even Ian himself didn't expect that AY-5 and Ace tied the two of them together in tandem.
Ain and Binz, one is a user with the ability to regress fruit, and the other is a person with the ability to flourish fruit, especially Ain, the ability to regress fruit is really amazing. If possible, Ian even wants to absorb them into himself The pirate group is coming.
But unfortunately, he also knew that this was impossible. The respect that Ain and Binz had for Zefa was beyond his control.
So Ian naturally put aside his thoughts for the time being, and after meeting the two of them, he left it to Whitebeard to handle it.
Fortunately, Ain and Binz were honest. Knowing who they were facing, they let go of their thoughts of escaping. Now that the entire Whitebeard Pirates are stationed on the island, they can't escape at all. Maybe Zefa He also told them to focus on protecting themselves, so seeing their cooperation, Whitebeard didn't make things difficult for them, and allowed them to move about on the island, and only sent two people to follow them.
After hearing Ace's answer, Ian nodded and didn't say anything. He guessed that at this time, the navy and the world government were probably also discussing a solution. After all, after the Clockwork Island incident last time, Whitebeard In a fit of rage, he sent someone to destroy a naval fortress. If White Beard didn't give an explanation this time, it might not be as simple as a fortress.
Maybe all the power of the navy on the bright side of the new world will be hit by the Whitebeard Pirates...
This is probably the most troublesome point for the navy now. If you want to catch the Dragon Hunter Pirates, you will be offended if you offend Whitebeard. At any rate, your goal has been achieved, but now not only has your goal not been achieved, but you have also offended Whitebeard. Beard this evil star.
At this time, Marco also spoke, and asked Ian: "Ian, we verified what you said last time, and found that the effect is not very good..."
"Oh?" Ian immediately became interested when he heard it, and asked, "How about it?"
After AY-5 captured Ian by accident, Ian had some ideas at that time. Although Whitebeard came forward to help him push back the navy this time, it was mainly out of Ace's plea, but for Ian Said that the favor of Whitebeard is still big enough, and he has to find a way to pay it back, so he told Marco and the others about Ain's retrograde fruit ability.
Whitebeard is indeed old now, and his physical condition is declining day by day. Marco and his adopted sons can see this and are anxious in their hearts, so when they hear about Ain's ability to regress fruit, their eyes naturally light up.
And Ian's suggestion at the time was to let them try to let Ian use his ability on Whitebeard once.
However, after Marco talked about it now, Ian realized that it seemed that things were not as easy as he imagined.
There are many reasons for the deterioration of Whitebeard's body. Of course, age is the main reason, but in addition, there are some injuries suffered when he was young, and the reason for Whitebeard's own fruit ability!
The injuries he suffered when he was young are still minor problems, but the most troublesome thing is the impact of his own fruit ability!
