After listening to Ian's analysis, the rebel uncle was struggling all the time.
He knew very well that Ian was right. The power of a devil fruit user is unstoppable for ordinary people. Varua used his own ability to kill the original king and succeeded in ascending to the throne. In a small country, the pirates with 340 million Baileys are almost unsolvable in strength, unless the rebel army has weapons and equipment as strong as the navy, otherwise, even ordinary guns and ammunition, it is impossible to match the devil fruit ability. Otherwise, the effect is also very small.
The Dragon Hunter Pirates are a more powerful pirate group. If they want to overthrow Varua, they must rely on their strength, which is why this uncle came to see Ian.
The same is true for Ian, he must master the refining technology in his own hands, this is the capital of the Dragon Hunter Pirates to survive, if the rebels are too greedy and unwilling to accept his conditions, then Ian will consider leaving them alone coming.
At that time, the big deal is to spend money to let the miners mine the ore for him, the reason is the same.
Perhaps this uncle also thought of this, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
"It's just, how will you get in touch with the world government then?" the uncle asked again.
Ian smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about this, maybe in a day or two, you'll know after reading the news!"
Contacting the world government is probably not too simple for a Shichibukai...
Now that an agreement was reached, the two sides began to discuss the way of cooperation, and the uncle didn't say his name until this time.
Arians, this uncle is called Arians, and he is the leader of the rebel army! He himself was originally a miner, but since he was the first person to start rebelling against Varudo four years ago, he was elected as the leader after the miners' uprising army was established. Perhaps when Varudo is overthrown, he will be the new king of this country.
When he learned from Ian that a batch of guns and weapons would arrive soon to support the rebel army, Arion was instantly happy.
What the rebel army lacks most now is weapons and ammunition. The only swords in their hands are made by digging iron ore by themselves, but the problem is that there are not many iron ore on this island, and they cannot be self-sufficient. Ian It can be said that this support came at just the right time.
Of course, the price of this batch of weapons is not cheap, at least it is counted in units of 100 million. According to Ian's character, he will not be the one who pays for these weapons, and the rebel army must return them to him at that time. just work.
The two parties agreed that before the arrival of weapon support, Ian would find a way to expel the pirate mercenaries entrenched on the island. When the time comes when Varua has no manpower available, the rebel army will launch a general offensive to overthrow the island in one fell swoop. Varua's rule.
After the discussion, Arians planned to leave, but when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Ian: "By the way, there is another news, maybe I need to tell you."
"Say it!" Ian said.
"Although many people know that Varudo was a big pirate who used to be 340 million, but few people know that his previous nickname was 'The Ripper'!" Arians said: "Over the years, He has been missing for a long time, so it is difficult to find his original reward list now, and our rebel army has been investigating for a long time, only to find out that he seems to be a person with the ability to tear fruits!"
"Tear the fruit!?" Ian frowned. What kind of fruit is this
If it is understood literally, this should be some kind of superhuman devil fruit. As for the ability, it should be tearing!
Ian thought of Bucky again. The name of this fruit sounds similar to Bucky's torn fruit, but... I'm afraid the ability is completely different. The name of this fruit reminds me of it, which is quite extreme. The means of attack...
Three hundred and forty million, plus the nickname of the tearer, this Varudo may not be that simple.
Just as Ian was thinking this way, Arians continued: "Besides, we also found out that the original name of this Waludo seems to be different from this, and he was not a pirate from the beginning, but we can only find out Up to here, what happened before Varudo is a mystery!"
Ian didn't think too much, but Kona Nayi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and he poked his chin at the side and began to think carefully.
Ian didn't notice Kona Nay's strange behavior until Arians left, so he asked her, "What's wrong?"
"Waludo the Ripper?" Kona Nay said with some doubts, "I seem to have heard this name before!"
"What's so strange about this? That guy's reward of 340 million must be very famous, you've heard it's normal!" Ian said with a smile.
"No... that's not the case!" Kona Nayi said: "I've heard what I said. It's not a reward list, but someone who mentioned it when I was at the base of the Revolutionary Army!"
"Huh!? What do you mean?" Not to mention Ian, even Hu Tao and Yardi couldn't help coming over.
"Waludo the Ripper seems to be a person that the Revolutionary Army pays more attention to!" Kona Nayi said: "You may not know that I am a native resident of Bardigo. When I was sixteen years old, I joined the I was assigned to the Revolutionary Army, and then was sent to the Kingdom of Roses to perform tasks. I stayed at the Revolutionary Army base in Bardigo for a while, and I heard about this man from the Revolutionary Army's partners!"
"Wow!" Hu Tao immediately pulled her with bright eyes and said, "Sister Kona Nayi, you actually stayed at the base of the Revolutionary Army? Tell us, what's it like there?"
"I'm sorry, I can't reveal too much to you!" Kona Nayi said apologetically, "The location and information on the island must be kept confidential. It is already the limit to tell you the name of the place!"
She turned her head to look at Ian and said, "Perhaps in the future you will have the opportunity to visit Baltigo for yourself!"
"Yeah!" Ian nodded. He already knew the name Baltigo, but to be honest, he didn't even know which ocean this island was in.
"No, I have to contact my partner in the Revolutionary Army and check this person!" After finishing speaking, Kona Nai ran away with a walnut. The silent fruit of the walnut can help her prevent eavesdropping.
Ian looked at Yaldi and said speechlessly: "Well, I, a revolutionary army cadre, don't even know how to contact other partners, but she knows..."
Yardi chuckled, scratching his head with a shy expression, not knowing how to answer.
Ian was just saying this casually. In fact, he also knows that the revolutionary army in various places is basically in a dormant state, and there is very little contact with each other. Although Ian was introduced by Uncle Xiong to join the revolutionary army, But he had never even met his boss Dalage, so it was normal that he didn't know how to contact him. Perhaps it was because of this consideration that the Revolutionary Army sent Kona Nay and the others to help him.
It was late at night, and Ian and the others fell asleep in their rooms. However, to Ian's surprise, he was awakened in the middle of the night by Ke Nayi who suddenly broke in!
Because Kona Nayi came in by knocking on the door!
She was followed by Hu Tao, and as soon as Hu Tao entered Ian's room, he immediately set up a soundproof barrier, and Kona Nayi said anxiously to Ian: "Ian, it's not good, we found that Varudo His true identity!"
"Don't worry, speak slowly!" Ian straightened up from the bed and said, "Who is that guy?"
"I don't know if you've heard of it, but about a few decades ago, there was a very powerful research institute on the sea of this world!" Kona Nayi calmed down and said while sitting on a chair.
"I haven't heard of it, decades ago? I'm afraid I wasn't even born at that time!" Ian said.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, but you must know the name of a person in this research institute!" Kona Nay said, "That's Begabank!"
Swish! As soon as Ian heard the name, he immediately raised his head and looked at Ke Nayi in surprise.
"You heard correctly, it is indeed Bergabank!" Kona Nay said: "You may know that Bergabank is a scientist of the Navy, but you must not know that before becoming a scientist of the Navy, Bergabank was in this research stay inside."
Kona Nayi took a breath and continued to explain to Ian: "Because of the existence of Bergabank in this institute, their research results are very amazing. They were famous all over the world at the time, and they came from countries all over the world. They are all sponsoring their research in the open and in the dark, but unexpectedly, on a certain day, Bergabank has researched something called 'blood factor', which is said to be a research that can create life. The achievement of being close to the realm of God was also after the bloodline factor was discovered, and the world government couldn't sit still, so it declared the institute an illegal organization, disbanded the institute, and arrested Bergabank!"
"Then, Bergabank joined the scientific team of the World Government, and the World Government provided funds to conduct research for them. In order to protect this talented scientist, the Naval Scientific Force was established!" Kona Nay said.
"You...you mean, this Waludo is..." Ian asked her in disbelief.
Kona Nay nodded solemnly, and said: "Yes, the institute was disbanded back then, but not all the scientists in the institute were arrested like Begabank, some of them escaped, and Varu Do is one of them. I asked my partner in the Revolutionary Army to check and found that his previous name was actually Rulvado! He was an engineer in the research institute at that time. After the disbandment of the research institute, he escaped , and then for some reason, he became a pirate a few years later, and his devil fruit ability seems to have been obtained from that time. Although he became a pirate, he has been very low-key, wandering around the world, He seemed to be looking for something, he had very few records, but the world government seemed to recognize him, so he gave him a bounty of 340 million and hunted him down, but what he didn't expect was that he Suddenly disappeared again, came to this island to become the king... "
Ian was beyond shocked by this sudden news! Damn it, this guy... This guy turned out to be Vegabank's colleague back then!
After being reminded by Kona Nay, Ian immediately recalled it. It seems that such a thing has indeed happened in history, because what impressed Ian the most was the patriarch of the Vinsmoke family, Vinsmoke ยท Gage! Sanji's father!
He was also a colleague of Bergabank at the beginning, but after Bergabank was arrested, he also escaped, and he also got the blood factor technology, and developed the Vinsmoke family, and established a company like Germa. A country with no territory becomes its own king...
Well, putting Germa Group aside for now, Ian didn't expect another colleague from Vegabank to appear here!
No wonder Ian has been wondering before, such a pirate, not only became a king, but also mastered the refining technology of Thunder Stone, this doesn't look like a pirate's style!
Who knew, he turned out to be a scientist!
This... how to deal with it now
