Generally speaking, pirates at the level of Qiwuhai all have their own territory. ?net
Crocodile runs his Baroque studio in Alabasta, Boa Hancock has Hydra Island, Moonlight Moriah has a huge terrifying three-masted sailing ship in the Devil's Triangle, and even Hawkeye, a lone ranger, Occupies the island of Krajgana.
Ian also felt that it was time for him to occupy a piece of land and concentrate on developing for a while.
It's really not easy to get along in the New World. It's only been a few months since Ian entered here. Since he doesn't want to be attached to the Four Emperors, he must have the strength to stand alone here.
Because besides the Whitebeard Pirates, there are three other Four Emperors in the new world. No one knows when they will provoke the rest of the Four Emperors. Beast Kaido is a lunatic, and Igmom is moody. Even Red Shanks, the best-looking person, Ian didn't know what kind of temper and attitude he had.
So it seems that Ian and the others have nothing to do now, but in fact there are still many hidden dangers, which requires psychological preparation to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
And if you can find a site to develop for a period of time, it will be great for the Dragon Hunter Pirates.
However, Ian has no clue now, he is not familiar with the geography of the New World, who knows which territory belongs to which faction? If you occupy it hastily, it is very likely that there will be big problems.
Moreover, Ian has also calculated that it may not be long before his Qi Wuhai's identity will be recognized and announced by the world government. It is not easy for a Qi Wuhai to settle in the sphere of influence of the New World Four Emperors.
As far as Ian knows, it seems that Doflamingo is the only Qiwuhai who currently has territory in the New World, and the reason why Doflamingo can occupy a place in the New World is probably due to him and Bai The cooperation of Beast Kaido, after all, this guy is a well-known dark broker among the underground forces, and Ian even suspected that Doflamingo had actually joined the Beast Pirates secretly, because his nickname "joker" did not exist at all. It's one of the playing cards!
Of course, this is all Ian's guess, and it is not accurate, but it can also be seen from this how much influence the Four Emperors have in the new world.
While the ship continued sailing, Ian found AY-5.
Although this woman is a member of Doflamingo, she is currently staying in the Dragon Hunter Pirates as a hostage. Due to personality problems, Ian thinks that she should be a person who can instigate rebellion, but Ian also knows that she is still a hostage. I can't trust her completely, so sometimes when discussing issues with Fujitora, Ian will try to avoid her as much as possible.
"You have been in the New World with Doflamingo for so long, you should be very clear about the situation in the New World?" Ian asked ay-5: "Tell me, what other places in the New World have not been seen by other people?" Occupied by forces?"
ay-5 didn't refuse, she also knew that the man in front of her would soon become a big shot like her young master, so she thought about it and said to Ian, "Actually, if I want to talk about it in detail, I'm not It’s too clear, I can only say that in the New World, the more dangerous an island is, the less likely it will be occupied by people.”
Ian nodded with some understanding. Indeed, what ay-5 said is common sense. There are many islands in the New World, but not many are suitable for inhabitation. These islands that can generate benefits may have long been It has been divided up by the Four Emperors who have been entrenched in the New World for many years. If Ian wants to occupy these islands as a territory, then it is very likely to provoke the forces of the Four Emperors.
Conversely, some of the more dangerous islands are not necessarily the same.
These dangerous islands are often the favorites of adventurers, but they are usually extremely easy to cause casualties, and they are not necessarily places where they can safely occupy and develop their forces.
This made Ian somewhat understand why many new pirates who entered the new world from the first half of the great route would want to challenge the Four Emperors. Apart from wanting to gain fame, I am afraid they also have the feeling of challenging the old forces.
"Is it a more dangerous island?" Ian rubbed his chin and wondered. In his impression, the one he could think of was probably Punk Hazard. That island is not far from the Red Earth Continent. The secret research institute, but after a big explosion, the island is now full of poisonous gas, and the navy has already evacuated there. There are probably no people on this dangerous island.
However, Ian is also very clear that Punk Hazard will soon be occupied by Caesar, and then establish a research institute on that island, and together with Doflamingo, secretly develop artificial devil fruits, and create artificial devil fruits here The ingredients needed were sad.
It is said that Ian and Doflamingo are now in a cooperative relationship. If he takes people to that island, it is actually possible. Caesar is a gas fruit of the natural system. The ability of this fruit may be for others. It was scary, but for Ian, he didn't take it very seriously. If he went there with the Dragon Hunter Pirates, he could completely expel Caesar.
Even, if Yi'an is more ambitious, he can take the opportunity to participate in Doflamingo's business and obtain those man-made devil fruits to improve the abilities of his subordinates.
However, such an idea just flashed through Ian's mind, and then he gave up. Let alone Ian and the others have already passed the location of Punk Hazard, how to turn around and go back, let's talk about the man-made devil fruit Ian doesn't know if there are any disadvantages. Such things feel like counterfeit goods. If there is a problem with the quality, it will be a big trouble. The members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates are all with him Partner, Ian doesn't want any problems with them.
What's more, Ian also knew that Caesar not only frantically used people for sex experiments, such a thing, not to mention Ian, even Fujitora would not tolerate it.
This guy even lied to Igmom's research funds to squander them secretly. If he gets mixed up with him, whenever Igmom comes to make trouble, he will not be able to clean up by jumping into the Yellow River.
Since there are so many disadvantages in it, Ian also gave up the place of Punk Hazard.
After waving AY-5 to leave, Ian found Margaret and asked her, "Which one is the most trembling pointer on the recording pointer?"
Margaret didn't know what Ian wanted to do, so she took out the pointer and showed it to him, saying: "We have been moving forward with the most stable pointer, and it is estimated that it will be here soon, and the other two pointers, one One is pointing southeast and one is pointing southwest."
Ian took a look and found that the position where their ship was heading was actually the pointer in the middle, so he thought for a while and said, "Well, let's go to the island first to see what kind of island it is and whether it has any influence. Occupy here, if there is any, we will replenish it and go to the other two islands to see!"
Suitable islands are not so easy to find, Ian can only take a step to see for the time being.
What Margaret said was right, in the early morning of the next day, Ian's ship could vaguely see the land ahead.
Generally speaking, Ian and the others sailed smoothly on this journey. It may be because the magnetic force of this island is relatively stable and relatively safe. Therefore, they did not encounter any bad weather along the way, and they arrived so smoothly. up.
However, as he walked all the way towards the island, Ian gradually realized that something was wrong.
There are several places on this island, thick smoke is being raised, drifting straight into the sky, and as Ian and the others approach, they can even hear the sound of rumbling and rumbling from a distance.
"Is this... the sound of cannons?" The members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates gathered around the deck, and Sardin covered his eyes and looked forward, saying, "This island seems to be at war!?"
The ship gradually approached the island, and a more tragic scene appeared. In the offshore of the island, there were actually many broken sampans floating, as well as some swollen corpses. Some of them have already lost their limbs, and the surrounding sea water is emitting a faint red color, which can be seen to be stained red with blood. Under this sea area, a large number of bloodthirsty sharks and sea kings are surrounded by these The smell of blood was so exciting that they were desperately biting these corpses.
This made it difficult for Ian and the others to approach. Several huge sea kings rushed out of the water to attack Ian and his ship. In order not to damage the ship, both Ian and Fujitora took action and killed them. Part of it was killed, while the rest was bombarded with cannons by members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, injured and escaped.
"It's too tragic!" Zeke looked at the corpses in the sea for a while, and said, "There may have been a sea battle here, and hundreds of people died as a result."
"Can you tell who it is?" Ian asked.
"Some of the corpses look like pirates, but the other part looks like civilians!" Zeke said, "Could it be that this island is being plundered by pirates now?"
After hearing this, Fujitora frowned. He couldn't see, he could only perceive that there were corpses all around him. Hearing what Zeke said, he asked, "Can you see those pirate flags?"
"I can see that there are some floating on the water!" Zeke replied, "But it looks like it belongs to several pirate groups, with several different flags."
"Captain, shall we go up and have a look?" Fujitora asked.
"Of course!" Ian said: "I hope these pirates are not the pirate group under the command of the Four Emperors, otherwise we will get involved in trouble."
"I don't think it's possible!" Fujitora shook his head and said, "If these pirates were really under the command of the Four Emperors, those commoners would probably not have fought them."
Ian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was indeed the case...
