"Huh? Who are you talking about?" The big man with a moustache probably had a lot of pain in his shoulder, so his words were leaking, and Ian couldn't hear clearly for a while.
But Johnny and Joseph heard it clearly, and immediately screamed: "You... what are you talking about? K... Creek Pirates!?"
"That's right!" Mustache and the other pirates grinned: "We have said that, although we are pirates, we are not afraid of any pirate hunters at all! We are the biggest overlord of the East China Sea, the Creek Sea Thieves! In the East China Sea, no pirate hunter dares to attack us!"
Before he finished speaking, a foot suddenly stretched out from the side and kicked him directly in the face.
puff! The mustache's face was crooked, and a tooth spurted out mixed with blood...
This kick was naturally kicked by Ian. Under the stunned eyes of everyone, he calmly withdrew his foot and said, "Nah! Didn't I already say that? Go away and cool off!"
"You... are you crazy?" Another pirate screamed: "It's been said that we are members of the Creek Pirates, and you dare to do it!?"
Ian was so angry that he walked over and poked the pirate on the forehead and said, "So what about Creek Pirates? I told you that I am a pirate hunter! How dare you say anything in front of me?" No one dares to think of you? Fuck! Are you slapping me in the face?"
After finishing speaking, Ian kicked at a group of pirates directly, and he was most annoyed by things like moving backers at every turn.
The navy soldiers in front turned their heads and watched Ian beating and kicking a group of pirates in a foolish way. Seeing this scene, they finally believed that it was a boy who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old who caught this A gang of pirates.
Facing Ian's violent temper, which would strike at the slightest disagreement, many navy soldiers shrunk their necks in fear...
In the end, it was Johnny and Joseph who stopped Ian. Johnny took out a stack of bounties, turned it over to Ian, and said, "Brother Ian, listen to me first, the Creek Pirates are not Barbara!" The Pirates are comparable, their leader 'Pirate Admiral' Creek is a real pirate with tens of millions of ranks, and he is indeed famous for being fierce in the East China Sea! It is indeed very troublesome to mess with them!"
Ian took a look at the bounty list and found that Crick's bounty was the same as he remembered, which was 17 million Baileys. [oM]
You know, Ian has gone to sea three years earlier than Luffy, and even Bucky's bounty is only 7 million. Unexpectedly, this guy Crick has already got so much bounty!
What Ian didn't know was that, in fact, things like bounties mainly depended on the government's attitude towards pirates. Creek was originally a navy soldier, but later defected and became a pirate, but he often disguised his pirate group Become a navy or a merchant ship, taking the opportunity to let people relax their vigilance to attack villages and ships. For the government, this guy is not only a disgrace to the navy, but also constantly discrediting the navy. He belongs to the kind of pirate with great threat.
This can explain why Creek's bounty reached tens of millions before Bucky. Bucky is keen on looting treasures and doesn't easily mess with the Navy, so he seems low-key, but Creek is notorious. Obviously, the two are not the same in terms of reputation.
Notoriety also has the benefits of notoriety. The Creek Pirates are currently the recognized overlord of the East China Sea. Many pirates have chosen to join him. With the explanation of Johnny and Joseph, Ian finally figured out why they are so afraid of Creek The reason is because it is said that the current Creek Pirates are developing very well, and there are already more than 30 large ships and two to three thousand subordinates!
Such a force might not even be comparable to some small naval branches...
Ian turned his head and asked the navy Cao Chang: "Is your navy just sitting and watching the Creek Pirates expand?"
The navy Cao spread his hands, and said helplessly: "What can we do? The elite of the navy is concentrated in the various branches directly under the great route, not to mention the East China Sea, even the South China Sea, the North Sea and the West Sea. The naval forces of the four major oceans are all The weaker ones, we also feel powerless! Just see if Colonel Smoker from the headquarters will be better after this time... "
Ian couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this. Even the navy is afraid of Creek, but in fact Ian knows very well that Creek is a tragedy. In terms of strength, he can't catch up with Bucky, at least Bucky still has the devil fruit ability Or, Crick is just an ordinary person, nothing more than a little more strength, and even less in terms of tactics, he is not as good as Captain Crowe of the Black Cat Pirates, who pretends to attack ships or something, it can only be said This guy is cunning, not a trick. His so-called strength is nothing more than an illusion created by the accumulation of numbers. Perhaps it is because of his inner weakness. This guy always likes to arm himself with some external equipment. [oM]
So two years later, when Crick wanted to challenge the great route, he met Hawkeye Mihawk tragically. He defeated the entire fleet by himself, and returned miserably after only staying on the great route for seven days. up.
Ian doesn't care much about the so-called Creek Pirates. He can roughly feel his own strength and knows that he is much stronger than Sauron when he went to sea. What is the pirate admiral Creek? If he really dares to trouble himself, he will be killed by then.
As for his so-called thousands of subordinates, one can understand what kind of goods they are by looking at the gang of pirates in front of them. They can use all the means to block the way and grab things. Can this also be called a pirate
Therefore, Ian didn't take the threat of these pirates to heart at all, and dragged and kicked these guys all the way to the naval base.
The Navy Commander Cao and his men interrogated the names of these pirates one by one, in order to check to see if they were wanted.
In the end, Ian almost couldn't help but want to kick people again. He had a premonition before that these guys were not popular pirates at all, and the results of the cross-examination also confirmed this point. Almost no one in this group Wanted by the navy, that is to say, there is not even a bounty!
Except for the big guy with the moustache, this guy used to be a bandit, but he missed and seriously injured someone during a robbery, so he ran to the sea and joined Creek's pirate group. He was the only one with a bounty People, but it is not the navy's wanted reward, but the reward offered by the victim's family members themselves, and there is only a mere 50,000 Berries...
If it weren't for the bounty of Mustache, Ian couldn't help but want to beat up this group of pirates one by one again.
Bucky's 7 million bounty will not be cashed until Smoker arrives two days later, so the 50,000 bounty of Mustache is the only money Ian has earned so far. The money was paid to Ian.
With the 50,000, Ian should be fine in Rogge Town these two days. This made Ian feel better, so he said to Johnny and Joseph, "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner!"
"Great!" Johnny and Joseph immediately raised their hands and cheered.
Although they are so weak, they are still very loyal, and Ian found that even though these two guys have just debuted, they are like local snakes and know a lot of things. Opportunity to ask them something.
He took the two of them to the lively restaurant that they had seen before on the street. Before they could order food, Johnny and Joseph patted the table and shouted, "Beer! Three glasses of beer first!" "
It seems that people who go to sea are basically good at drinking! Ian didn't mind either. After the beer was served, he bumped the glass with Johnny Joseph and said, "Done!!"
After drinking a large glass of beer heartily, while the waiter was refilling the glass, Ian asked the two of them, "Do you know that there is a shipyard that sells large ships in Rogge Town?"
"Why, Brother Ian, do you want to buy a boat?" Johnny asked curiously.
"Well! To be precise, I want a medium-sized ship, and I plan to go to the great route!" Ian said.
He had already thought about it on the way to Rogge Town. I am afraid that he really has to go to the great route. There are very few devil fruit capable users in the East China Sea. Even Bucky was actually obtained from the great route. Devil Fruit.
So if you want to find the devil fruit, you have to go to the great route.
Kuina has been lying in bed for so many years, and she must be very unwilling even if she wakes up. As her elder brother, he will either not help, or help to the end. He thought it would be best to give Kuina the strongest The fruit of nature.
Although the ability of devil fruit is related to the exercise of the user, it is generally recognized that the fruit of the natural type is stronger. As long as it does not encounter the ability of the restrained devil fruit, the natural type is usually unsolvable, unless it encounters someone who can use domineering For the strong, the characteristics of the natural fruit are destined to have a higher starting point than the superhuman and animal types.
To find devil fruits, you have to go to the great route, but Ian's small boat is useless to go to the great route, so Ian feels that he needs to change to a larger ship.
However, a ship that is too big cannot be operated by one person, so Ian thought carefully, and a medium-sized ship was the most suitable.
Johnny took a sip of beer, wiped the corner of his mouth, and said, "Brother Ian, with all due respect, even if you get the seven million reward, it is still very difficult to buy a boat!"
"No way!" Ian asked, "How expensive is a medium-sized ship?"
"It's not a question of cost!" Joseph shook his head and said, "It's about booking. You can't buy ready-made ships at the shipyard, so you can only book them. It will be possible to get it in a year, Brother Yian, can you wait?"
"So long!?" Ian said in surprise.
"Of course, making a boat is not so easy!" Johnny said: "The wood needs to be dried, then painted, and then dried again. Instead of buying a new boat, it’s better to ask if there is anyone selling old boats in Rogue Town, that’s not only cheap, but you can get them right away!”
