On the streets of Albana, Alabasta, Ian looked at the city with a curious face. Teana Wwww. ⒉
Compared with the cities that were in drought that I saw along the way, the amount of rain in Albana is still normal, so the lives of people here seem to be quite stable, but when you look closely, you can still see it. See the faint anxiety on people's faces.
Indeed, as the capital of the country, Albana has not been affected by the drought. Gradually, I felt a little strange, but now, the news of the rebels in Katleya, another city in Alabasta, has spread to Albana. People are very clear why these rebels appeared, nothing more than continuous The drought is almost unbearable.
Therefore, although Albana still looks extremely prosperous today, the cloud of war has begun to envelope the city.
On the streets of Albana city, Ian can see that besides the locals, some guys who look like pirates appear from time to time. At the beginning, Ian thought that these pirates were just supplying supplies in this city. And travel or something, however, not long after he was walking on the street, he witnessed a pirate robbery.
It was a jewelry store in Albana. Dozens of pirates rushed out suddenly with knives and guns. Each of them carried a burden on their backs, and as soon as they rushed out, they rushed out and wanted to escape.
The owner of the jewelry store ran out of the store crying, shouting: "Come on! Catch them!"
But it was fine if he didn't yell. With this yell, the passers-by who hadn't reacted immediately understood what happened, and after a burst of exclamation, they got out of the way instead.
These pirates have weapons in their hands, and they don't want to cause trouble.
Seeing this scene, the pirates laughed arrogantly. The last pirate thought that the owner of the jewelry store was in the way, so he turned around and shot at the boss.
The owner of the jewelry store was shot in the chest and fell down bleeding, which terrified the passers-by who watched this scene.
"Quick! Go and report to Lord Crocodile!" A passer-by shouted.
This sentence seemed to remind everyone, so more and more people shouted to report to Lord Crocodile.
Ian witnessed this scene, and immediately felt a little strange, this jewelry store was robbed, so he should first go to the city guard, right? How come these people didn't think of this? What the hell is reporting to Lord Crocodile
However, I have to say that the shouts of the surrounding people did put a huge psychological pressure on the robbing pirates. After they heard Crocodile's name, they didn't dare to continue laughing arrogantly anymore, but Pick up the burden and run away quickly.
They knocked over the pedestrians blocking the way and ran towards Ian's direction. A child couldn't dodge and was knocked down by them immediately. The pirate who bumped into him was also tripped to the ground.
The pirate seemed to be in pain from the fall, got up annoyed, and said fiercely to the child: "Little devil! Do you want to die!"
After speaking, he drew out his gun and pointed it at the child, intending to shoot him.
Ian realized what was going to happen when that guy drew his gun, and couldn't help shaking his head inwardly. These lawless pirates can be seen everywhere.
So, he moved!
The pirate was holding the gun, and just when he was about to pull the trigger, a huge sword energy suddenly struck, directly cutting his palm and the gun in his hand in half!
The pirate immediately screamed, holding his hand that was bleeding like a fountain, and let out a scream. The scream not only attracted the surprised eyes of other pirates, even the passers-by were also stunned. .
"Ding lang lang!"
A crisp bell sounded, and Ian walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the pirates. The thousand cherry blossoms in his hand twirled around, turning out a knife flower, and then facing the pirates from a distance Where we are, suddenly chop down!
A huge half-moon-shaped sword aura about three people tall flew towards the pirates close to the ground. The sword aura split the ground, leaving a deep trench on the ground, and then fell into the crowd of pirates, booming The ground suddenly bloomed into a strong wind pressure, which spread in all directions. Dozens of pirates were blown to the ground by the blasting wind, turning into dozens of ground gourds.
Now Yi'an was able to precisely control the sword energy he slashed out, and directly overthrew these pirates without hurting innocent passers-by.
The surrounding residents of Albana stared blankly at the trench cut out by the sword energy on the ground, unable to react for a while.
On the contrary, the pirates still had some knowledge. When they got up and saw the sword mark, they all looked at Ian with terrified eyes.
"Put down the burden on your body, put your head in your hands, and kneel on the ground!" Ian said to the pirates indifferently.
This meant that they were obviously going to be captured without a fight. Although the pirates had seen Ian's strength, they were a little unwilling to just surrender and wait for disposal.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd: "I advise you to follow suit, if you don't want to make another His Excellency Shichibukai angry..."
Ian was taken aback when he heard the voice, and couldn't help but look into the crowd, trying to find out who was talking.
However, before Ian could find out who was speaking, the residents of Albana around them finally came to their senses.
"Seven... Qi Wuhai!? Another Qi Wuhai master!?"
"Ah! When I think about it, it seems to be true! That hat... he is the newly promoted Qi Wuhai, 'Black Dragon' Ian-sama!"
"It's really him! Great! There are two Shichibukai here in Alabasta!?"
"Long live Shichibukai!"
"Lord Ian!"
I don't know what happened, but suddenly, Ian's name was shouted by the residents of Albana, and people looked at Ian with respect and admiration.
And the group of pirates was the same, after hearing the name Qiwuhai, they had nothing to be reconciled to, and immediately dropped their weapons and baggage, knelt on the ground and held their heads in their hands.
Seeing this scene, people cheered even louder.
"Thank you! Thank you, Lord Ian!" A woman ran up holding the child who was knocked down just now, knelt down in front of Ian, and said gratefully with tears in her eyes: "Thank you for saving my child!"
This sudden heroic treatment made Ian startled, what is going on
Later, Ian suddenly recalled that Crocodile is actually very popular in this country because he has repeatedly attacked and defeated the pirates who robbed and killed people in this country. People worship and praise him as a hero, and whenever they encounter pirates making trouble, the first thing people think of is to seek Crocodile's help.
Crocodile is a member of Qibukai, so people in Alabasta respect the name Qibukai very much. After Aiwujiuxia recognized Ian as Qibukai, he immediately received a hero like treatment.
I have to say that this guy Crocodile is really... He is the hero of this country on the surface, but he is secretly planning to overthrow the country. If things really succeed, he will appear as a hero by then, and maybe he will be able to go smoothly become the king of this country.
Thinking of this, Ian suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. Isn't this a replica of Doflamingo becoming King Dressrosa? The difference is only a matter of means...
Ian was surrounded by the people of Albana. Although due to Ian Shichibukai's identity, people didn't dare to get too close to him, but they also blocked Ian's way forward. It wasn't until Albana's guards appeared that they didn't dare to get too close to him. Finally got rid of him.
The group of pirates who robbed were arrested, and the guards who dispatched learned that Ian was also a Shichibukai, and immediately respected him, and sent people to evacuate the crowd for Ian.
And, they immediately sent someone to report the news to the palace.
Ian didn't care about this, he was still in the crowd, looking for the person who spoke just now.
At this moment, Ian saw a graceful figure standing not far away among the dispersed crowd. When Ian's eyes came into contact with her, she smiled slightly, turned and left.
It's Nico Robin! Ian recognized her immediately, and couldn't help being stunned.
However, when he saw Robin leaving slowly, he was obviously waiting for him to follow, so Ian didn't care so much, and immediately followed.
Those guards still wanted to follow Ian and listen to his orders, but Ian was beaten casually by Ian.
Following behind Robin and walking all the way forward, Ian couldn't help feeling a little puzzled. He had estimated that he might have to get in touch with Crocodile before seeing Robin, but he didn't expect Robin Instead, it appeared earlier.
What about Crocodile? Could it be that that guy wanted to play some tricks when he saw his message
Holding this doubt, Ian followed Robin all the way until he saw her walk into a tavern, and Ian followed her in.
After walking in, Ian discovered that there was not even a single customer in this tavern except Robin, only one waiter was behind the bar pouring wine.
Nicole Robin was sitting elegantly in front of the bar, waiting for the waiter to bring the wine with her chin clenched.
Ian walked over and sat down next to Robin.
When he just sat down, Robin had already turned her head to look at him. She looked at Ian, with a smile on her face, and said, "Master Ian, I am missa11sunday! Vice President of Baroque Studio, Nice to meet you."
