"What!?" After hearing Crocodile's last words, Ian's eyes almost popped out!
Travela? Your own base camp? Someone dared to make a plan for it!
Immediately, Ian's anger surged, and as soon as he lifted his foot, his armed toe hardened and kicked Crocodile in the face. Teana Wwww. ⒉
Crocodile, who was close at hand, was caught off guard, and was kicked by Ian's kick, and was kicked out with his mouth crooked.
But after getting up, Crocodile spat out the blood foam in his mouth, and said to Ian with a sneer: "Even if you blame me, it won't help, this information is true!"
Ian took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked Crocodile, "What's going on?"
Crocodile did not answer Ian, but wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and asked Ian, "Is this news worth getting back a tenth of my soul?"
"If you're delaying, you won't have any more of this tenth of the soul!" Ian sneered and clenched the light ball in his hand.
Now that Ian was showing signs of being unable to hold back his anger at this time, Crocodile did not dare to provoke him anymore, so he had to tell the matter exactly.
Although the Baroque studio controlled by Crocodile is currently only active in the country of Alabasta, it is undeniable that this organization is still a part of the underground organization, so Crocodile has always maintained the power of the underground world. Those who come into contact with it, among other things, the dancing powder is something that the world government expressly prohibits the manufacture and use of. If you don't use the means of the underground world, how can Crocodile get this kind of thing
It is also true that Crocodile only learned of the news a few days ago...
The underground world is a general term for illegal organizations on the dark side. It does not specifically refer to a specific object. Not only pirates, thieves and killers are active in the underground world, but even some arms dealers, powerful figures in the country, and even some The Navy could all be involved, and it's a pretty huge web of relationships and interests.
And in the underground world, the most active people are probably those brokers. These people are active in the dark, responsible for matchmaking for those in need, and facilitating transactions, buying murders, selling arms, mercenary wars, etc. They can be seen behind the illegal trade.
It was only after receiving a message from a broker that Crocodile learned that someone wanted to attack the island of Travela. The broker even asked Crocodile's Baroque studio if he was interested in taking the business. On the face of it, Baroque Studios is a group of bounty hunters who will do anything for money.
It was just that Crocodile refused at the time. Firstly, he was in the first half of the great voyage, and it was impossible for him to get involved in the affairs of the new world. Second, his strategy in Alabasta was at a critical stage, and it was impossible for him to withdraw.
"What's the name of the broker who contacted you?" Ian asked Crocodile when he heard this.
Most of these contact brokers are called by a code name, and when contacting customers, they are all contacted through phone bugs, and they usually do not show up.
"His code name is 'Bug'!" Crocodile didn't hide anything, and said it directly, because he knew very well that Ian was on fire right now, and there was no need to make Ian angry just because of the name of a broker.
"Bug?" Ian thought about the name and confirmed that he had never heard of this name. The only thing he remembered was Doflamingo's "joker" code name.
And when he thought of Doflamingo, Ian suddenly had a thought, thinking to himself: "Could it be that Doflamingo caused this incident?"
Ian now has two enemies, one is the Tianlongren, but the identity chip has been returned, and there is no reason for the Tianlongren to be able to contact the characters in the underground world, so it can be ruled out, and the other enemy is Doflaming Brother, although Ian and him maintain cooperation on the surface, but because Ian killed Virgo, it is impossible for Doflamingo to just let it go, especially Doflamingo himself is an underground world One of the brokers, so his suspicion is the biggest.
Although Ian has never heard of this so-called broker code-named Bedbug, if it is a task entrusted by Doflamingo in the underground world, he can completely not show up...
Of course, it is not ruled out that there is another person, that is Blackbeard Tikki, because Tikki has defected from the Whitebeard Pirates now, the timing is very coincidental, maybe he also wants to seek revenge from Ian, but he can’t say no Definitely, but I'm afraid Tiqi is not someone who can get 10 billion Baileys, so Yi also arranges to get rid of him.
The more I thought about it, the more Ian felt that it was most likely Doflamingo!
"Has anyone accepted this commission?" Ian asked Crocodile.
"Maybe, maybe not!" Crocodile shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. No one in the underground world is a fool. It is impossible not to know that there is your Qiwuhai territory, so generally speaking, it is It is impossible for someone to accept this kind of entrustment, but the amount of this entrustment is too huge, so it is not ruled out that there may be a possibility that a large organization is willing to make a move... "
"Like what?" Ian asked.
"For example, the Germa Group!" Crocodile replied: "It is a group that only recognizes money and is known as a war expert. Ten billion Baileys are enough to ask them to take action, not only them, but also the rest of the Four Emperors. , such as the Hundred Beasts Pirates or Igmom Pirates, the 10 billion business is a huge enough temptation for them, the Four Emperors may not do it in person, but they have some masters who can complete this kind of commission!"
"Damn it!" Hearing the names of these famous organizations from Crocodile's mouth, Ian felt annoyed for a while. He never imagined that there would be someone underground during the time he left the new world. The world has such a commission.
Just like what Crocodile said, the amount of 10 billion is enough to make some organizations ignore the name Qi Wuhai...
Ian suddenly thought of the divination that Hawkins made for himself. I have to say that the divination of this magic stick has all come true so far. Ian came to find Robin to interpret the historical text, but he did not get the real truth from Robin. The answer, and while he was in Alabasta, danger loomed over him.
At first, Ian thought that this danger might refer to Crocodile. After all, they are both Shichibukai, and the only one who can pose a threat to Ian may be Crocodile. After a turnaround, Ian discovered that this This danger did not refer to Crocodile, but came from his own rear.
Someone has attacked their own territory, Travela! That's definitely the case. Although Crocodile is not sure whether someone has accepted the commission, but from the perspective of divination, someone has definitely accepted it.
All of a sudden, all the things were connected together, which made Ian suddenly cheerful. He not only thought of Hawkins' divination, but also thought about the abnormality of Ace's life paper.
He is now 100% sure that after Titch defected from the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace followed Titch to the sea as in history, but since Ian's territory is also in the New World, it might not be possible for Ace to go to sea. I also went to Telavila, wanting to take the opportunity to meet Ian and so on, but at this time, Ian left the new world.
It doesn't matter if you leave, the key is the timing. When Ace arrived at Travela Island, he happened to bump into someone who took the commission to attack Ian's site.
Ace and Fujitora are familiar, so in this situation, he will definitely stay and help the Dragon Hunter Pirates resist the attack, but it is possible that the attacker is quite powerful, and even Ace was injured , and this will cause abnormalities in his life paper.
Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He thought that the abnormality of Ace's life paper was a sign that history might repeat itself in his pursuit of Tiqi, but now he suddenly understands that it is not the case. .
The period of time when the paper of life indicates the situation of the owner should be relatively close, but now there are still several months before Luffy goes to sea, it is impossible for the paper of life to predict that Ace's life will be in danger at this time. Such a situation can only show that Ace has encountered an accident now.
After thinking about it in Ian's mind, he found that the matter might be more serious than he imagined. On Travela Island, there are not only Ace, but also Fujitora. If neither of them can resist the attackers, then the attack How powerful are the people of Travela Island
Of course, there may be some situations that Ian doesn't know about. For example, it is possible that Fujitora can't do his best because he cares about protecting the residents on the island.
But no matter what, Ian had to go back!
