Smoker likes to smoke cigars when he is in a bad mood, which has always been his problem, and it is obvious that he is not in a very good mood now.
He was indeed the Alabasta who came after the Straw Hat Pirates, but he never thought that he would see Ian here.
I can't help it, I feel so ashamed, Ian is now Qibuhai, his status is only below the admiral, but Smoker is still a colonel and has not moved his nest, although Smoker has no idea about military rank. What a feeling, but no matter what, Ian, who was still a swordsmanship instructor under him back then, is now someone I need to look up to. Anyone who meets him will feel very tired after meeting him, right
If you want to say that the person Smoker doesn't want to see the most right now is Ian, but Nima still met here...
However, Smoker was still very vigilant about Ian's appearance in Alabasta. He had mentioned Ian's danger in a report to the Navy Headquarters a long time ago, but the Navy Headquarters never No one paid attention to it, so much so that Ian made a big fuss about Mary Gioia, which made the entire world government severely humiliated.
Smoker has always felt that Ian is a troublesome figure. Wherever he appears, things may happen, so when he sees Ian here, he naturally has to be vigilant.
Facing Smoker's questioning, Ian shrugged, spread his hands and said, "How can there be an old friend like you? You look aggressive when you meet him."
After finishing speaking, Ian ignored him, stretched out his hand and waved at Da Siqi: "Hey, Da Siqi! Long time no see!"
"Okay... Long time no see!" Da Siqi nervously clenched the knife in his hand, and stammered a reply to Ian.
"The one next to you is your sister?" Yi Jian asked Da Siqi, pretending not to know, pointing at Guyina.
"No... no!" Da Siqi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "She is Major Kuina, we just look alike!"
And Kuina was very cooperative, and snorted coldly at Ian...
The two brothers and sisters knew each other clearly, but they pretended they had never met each other. Both Smoker and Da Siqi were blindfolded, or in other words, they didn't think about it at all. When they saw Ian facing him Greeting to his subordinates, ignoring himself at all, Smoker said impatiently: "Ian, don't think that you have become Qibukai now, I will forgive you! You should have known that you would make such a big fuss in Marie Gioia I shouldn't have let you out of the East China Sea in the first place!"
Smoker really regretted it. It would have been nice if Ian hadn't been held accountable for taking the navy warships out to destroy the Dragon Pirates without authorization. If Ian had been left as a navy at that time, perhaps there would not have been such a thing in the future. Many things happened.
While speaking, Smoker looked behind Ian, and then naturally saw Ace.
The moment he saw Ace, Smoker couldn't help but shrink his pupils. It was really Ace the Fire Fist, the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates. So, what General Aokiji said was Seriously, Ian and Ace are hunting down the Blackbeard Pirates!
Sure enough, Nima is going to make trouble!
Smoker had the urge to complain, so he couldn't help but stop Ian and said, "Ian, are you hunting down the Blackbeard Pirates? Listen to me, the matter of hunting down the Blackbeard Pirates is up to you." Let the Navy deal with it! Get out of Alabasta right now!"
Ian looked at Smoker strangely and said, "That... you mean, the Blackbeard Pirates asked you to catch them?"
"Of course!" Smoker nodded and said, "Perhaps you don't know, Major Guina has encountered the Blackbeard Pirates once before, but because of some things, they failed to capture them."
Upon hearing this, Ian couldn't help but raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Kuina.
Kuina actually met the Blackbeard Pirates!
This incident was somewhat beyond Ian's expectations, so Ian couldn't help but look up and down nervously at Kuina, wanting to see if she was injured anywhere.
Seeing Ian's gaze, Kuina shook her head calmly, signaling that she was fine.
After confirming that Kuina was fine, Ian asked Smoker seriously, "Where did you meet the Blackbeard Pirates? When and where? Tell me!"
Smoker didn't doubt it, so he told what Kuina had reported back then. After hearing this, Ian looked at Kuina with some surprise.
Splitting headache? But after waking up it's all right? No matter how it sounds, it sounds like a state of domineering awakening. Could it be that Kuina unexpectedly awakened domineering by chance
It's not good for Ian to ask her here, so he just shook his head and said: "Smog, we are friends, please listen to my advice, don't get involved in the matter of the Blackbeard Pirates, your navy is too small Look at Tiki, let’s be honest, even if Ace and I team up, we are only 60% sure of catching Titch at most, so with all due respect, you guys can’t beat the Blackbeard Pirates! "
When Smoker heard this, he was so surprised that his cigar almost dropped, what! ? The Blackbeard Pirates are so powerful!
He really wanted to think that Ian was joking with him, but seeing Ian's serious expression, it didn't seem like a joke. For a moment, even Smoker couldn't help but feel his heart beating.
Could it be that the Navy's intelligence was wrong
Smoker actually didn't want to believe it, but think about who Ian's opponents have been during this period of time, admirals, Shichibukai, senior cadres under the command of the Four Emperors, none of these people are good, It is impossible for Ian to joke about this with him.
So after thinking about it, Smoker finally made a decision and said, "Okay, Ian, I won't interfere with your pursuit of the Blackbeard Pirates. I have to arrest the person, but I will give you face as if I didn't see him, but relatively, you can't interfere with our actions on this island!"
Ian was just about to agree, but at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed over from a distance, then squeezed away Ian and Smoker, and rushed into the restaurant.
"Food!!! I want to eat!!!"
After the figure rushed into the restaurant, he sat down directly in front of the dining table, desperately patting the table and urging the restaurant owner, "Give me food quickly! I'm going to starve to death!"
With a click, Smoker's cigar finally fell off.
And after seeing the figure clearly, Ace couldn't help shouting out in surprise: "Luffy!!?"
That's right, the person who rushed all the way into the restaurant was Straw Hat Luffy, but this guy was so hungry right now, he didn't notice Ian and Smoker who were blocking the gate at all, and naturally he wouldn't see Ace either. up.
Ace called him, but Luffy didn't notice. Just when Ace was happily going to look for Luffy, he suddenly heard Smoker yelling: "Straw Hat Boy!!!"
The sound was loud, and Luffy finally heard it, so he turned his head and saw Smoker.
"So it's you, Smokey Man!" Luffy looked at Smoker with a troubled expression, he probably found it very troublesome.
"Straw hat boy, I finally caught you!" Smoker pulled out his ten hands, and was about to rush forward to arrest Luffy, while Dashiqi and Kuina also put their hands on the handle of the knife , ready to follow Smoker at any time.
However, at this moment, Ace suddenly opened his arms and stopped in front of Smoker.
"Ace!?" Luffy finally noticed Ace's figure, and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
"Luffy, long time no see!" Ace faced Smoker, but turned his head and looked at Luffy from under the brim of his hat, revealing a smiling eye.
"Haha, Ace! Why are you here!?" Luffy also pressed his straw hat, laughing loudly.
However, the conversation between the two made Smoker upset. He frowned and said to Ace, "Fire Fist Ace, what do you mean?"
"I'm sorry, Luffy is my younger brother, I can't let you just take him away!" Ace said to Smoker with a smile.
Hearing this, Smoker couldn't help but looked back at Ian angrily, meaning, Ace is your man, so you have to take care of him!
Ian quickly waved his hand, expressing that he would not take the blame for it!
While waving his hands, Ian looked at Luffy strangely.
Although this is Ian's first meeting with Luffy in the true sense, it is still no different from the Luffy in Ian's impression, and the reason why Ian looks at Luffy with such strange eyes is because He felt that this inexplicable feeling of having an extra brother was really strange.
Don't forget, he drank the wine of sworn brotherhood with Essabo, calling Luffy a brother, there is really nothing wrong with him...
However, Ian looked at the expressionless Robin next to him, and now that Robin has followed him, it is impossible to become Luffy's partner again, so Ian made a fool of his younger brother.
It's the same as pitting Sauron back then, don't feel too good about it...
