It was about half a month later that Hawkeye saw the red-haired Shanks. Now let us go back a little bit in time and go back to the time when Hawkeye left Ian's ship.
At this time, on the sea surface of the great route, a big ship is sailing.
On this ship were five people who had just escaped from the Navy patrol ship and Kuina's Blackbeard Pirates.
After several days of voyage, the ship of the Blackbeard Pirates entered a chilly sea area, snowflakes began to float in the sky, and the north wind made people's hands and feet cold.
"Captain Tiki, there is an island ahead!"
Burgess, who was at the helm, called out to Blackbeard Teach and asked, "Shall we go to shore?"
"No need? Wouldn't it be better for us to go to Alabasta earlier?" Teach said.
"But, our drinking water stock is running out!" Lafayette said from the side.
Titch thought for a while, but had no choice but to let Burgess prepare to go ashore and go to the island.
After getting rid of Kuina's pursuit, Tiqi and the others sailed forward according to the record pointer. When they found that the route they chose was on the Alabasta line, Tiqi began to have some ideas.
Because Amayasha Doflamingo was defeated by Ian and his crimes were exposed, now Doflamingo's Shichibukai position is vacant, and Tichi has always wanted to seek a Qibukai position so that he can implement his follow-up plan, which was mentioned earlier.
What Tiqi originally thought was to find some well-known pirates, kill them, and then emerge as soon as possible to gain the attention of the Navy. As long as he proves his strength, he will send Lafayette to the Navy headquarters to lobby at that time. Maybe it is true The navy and the world government can consider wooing him to become Qiwuhai.
But along the way, Tiqi didn't meet any good targets. Most of the pirates he encountered were in the tens of millions to 10 to 20 million, and they were not considered powerful characters.
Therefore, Tiqi's famous plan has never been able to be implemented.
However, after discovering that this is a route passing through Alabasta, Tiqi had a new idea. He remembered that Crocodile of the Qiwuhai was in Alabasta!
Although it was heard that he had appeared in Dressrosa with Ian some time ago, he may have returned now.
If he can kill a Shichibukai, then Tichi can also prove his strength to the navy, and I am afraid the effect will be even better.
What Tiqi thought was that Crocodile and Ian appeared in Dressrosa together, which means that Crocodile and Ian knew each other, and even Ian invited him to help at that time, and Tiqi and Ian has a grudge, so it would be perfect to find Crocodile to attack Crocodile. He can not only gain the position of Shichibukai by attacking Crocodile, but also earn some interest from Ian's friends first.
In particular, the reason why Tiqi wanted to find Crocodile, there is another point, that is, he has met Crocodile...
After setting his intended goal, Tiqi has been heading towards Alabasta. However, as a navigator, some things are force majeure. He is also very helpless about the fact that there is no drinking water on board.
So, they could only land on the island called Magnetic Drum Island.
"Ha Qiu!"
As a result, as soon as he got ashore, Tiqi sneezed in the cold. This winter island is really too cold.
"Damn it, hurry up and get out of here!" Tiqi couldn't help but said to the crowd: "I really don't want to stay in this damn place."
However, at this moment, Van Oka, who was carrying a strange spear on his shoulder, suddenly said to Tiqi: "Captain, it seems that something is not right. I saw a black pirate's face hanging in the village ahead." flag..."
Tiki was taken aback when he heard the words: "Pirate flag? Which pirate group is this island in?"
"The pattern of the long sword inserted into the dragon's head is the flag of the Dragon Hunter Pirates!" Fan Aoka replied.
Hearing this, Tiki suddenly felt as disgusted as eating a handful of flies. No matter where he went, he could hear the word "Dragon Hunter Pirates"!
But at the same time, he also felt that something was not right. He suddenly had a bad feeling, and felt that seeing the flag of the Dragon Hunter Pirates here seemed to indicate something.
In fact, Tiki at this time, he didn't know that Ace and Ian had already embarked on a voyage to hunt him down.
After he escaped from the Whitebeard Pirates, he also thought that Father Whitebeard would definitely send someone to hunt him down. After all, he escaped by killing his companions. This crime is a serious crime among the Whitebeard Pirates. Even When Ian assassinated Tiqi back then, if it wasn't because Tiqi didn't die in the end, Daddy Whitebeard would have done it to Ian.
If you know it, you know it, but Tikki doesn't know who the person who is chasing him in the Whitebeard Pirates is, because after escaping, Tikki doesn't have many sources of information.
He just guessed before that it might be Fire Fist Ace who will hunt him down. After all, he is a member of the second team, and it is reasonable for the captain to hunt him down.
However, just a while ago, Tiki accidentally saw the news that Doflamingo was pulled down from the newspaper. In the news, the names of Ace and Ian were vaguely mentioned, which made Tiki Qi thought that Ace and Ian were still in Dressrosa.
In other words, he was misled by the news, and now he doesn't even know that Ace and Ian have quietly left Dressrosa and are now chasing after him.
And now, after seeing the flag of the Dragon Hunter Pirates here, Tiki's first thought was that this was the island that Ian had sheltered.
As a result, his eyes suddenly became dark.
"Let's go, go to the island to see!" Teach said to Lafayette, Burgess, Fan Oka and the drug Q.
A group of five people just landed on the island and entered the village at the foot of the mountain.
However, what they didn't know was that the Kingdom of Magnetic Drum Island was not actually an island sheltered by Ian, and even Ian didn't know that someone on this island had taken his banner!
The Kingdom of Magnetic Drum Island is because he killed their king Walpo here at the beginning, so that the doctors in this country were liberated. Since then, people on the entire island are sick and no longer have to worry about seeking medical treatment. The people on the island are grateful to Iraq. Ann's Ender, after learning the name and flag of his pirate group, hung up his flag spontaneously!
In the eyes of the people on Magnetic Drum Island, Ian is just like Crocodile back then, a hero of the country, and the flag was raised just to commemorate the great pirate who once landed on their island.
Because of Ian's identity as a pirate, the people of Drum Island Kingdom not only did not dislike pirates, but welcomed them very much, so that when Tiki and the others landed on the island, they were warmly welcomed.
But unfortunately, Tiqi is simply uneasy and kind, so the people in the village are unlucky...
The influence caused by Ian appeared again. Originally, the Blackbeard Pirates had indeed landed on Drum Island in history, but at that time, under the rule of Valpo, the ports here were guarded by soldiers. The ignorant soldiers, seeing Blackbeard and the others as pirates, blackmailed them. As a result, Blackbeard directly destroyed most of the country in a rage.
After seeing Blackbeard's astonishing power, Walpo realized that he was no match for Blackbeard, so he despicably left his own countrymen and fled.
After Blackbeard wreaked havoc for a while, he left, leaving only the people of this country to bear the pain of the destruction of their homes. During the time Walpo was wandering at sea, although he heard that the Blackbeard Pirates had left, he wanted to come back , but he lost his way at sea helplessly, so that he would meet Luffy and the others later.
But now, the guy Walpo was directly hacked to death by Ian. When Blackbeard and the others went ashore, they didn't suffer any troubles. Logically speaking, the Blackbeard pirates should be back soon after the supplies are over. Leaving this country, they live in peace with each other, but it is very unfortunate that someone hangs the flag of the Dragon Hunter Pirates here.
Although everything in this world has a cause and effect, even Ian himself never thought of such a thing happening.
Tiqi went berserk in this village. He directly used his dark fruit ability to destroy the village. Although many villagers saw the opportunity quickly and ran out without causing too many casualties, their homes were still destroyed.
And after Tiqi destroyed this village, he still felt that it was not enough, so he destroyed several surrounding villages one after another.
For a time, there were many more wounded in the entire Magnetic Drum Island Kingdom...
