Ian searched around the sea, but failed to find any traces of the Blackbeard Pirates, so he had to return.
Within a thousand nautical miles around Glass, Ian saw a total of twelve islands, ranging in size from small to large, but Ian was alone, unable to search each island in detail. It can only be roughly observed in the sky.
This kind of naked eye observation, of course, can't go anywhere carefully, unless Ian can bring a pacifist, maybe their scanner can search more carefully.
So Ian's search is actually mainly looking for the ships of the Blackbeard Pirates. Ian doesn't know where they will hide, but the pirate ships and flags are more conspicuous.
However, what makes Ian a little depressed is that he has not been able to find the ship of the Blackbeard Pirates. He guesses that there are only two possibilities. Notified Tiki and the others, causing them to hide even the boat.
The dark fruit of that guy Tiki can swallow even a town, let alone a pirate ship...
However, Ian actually searched Fan Oka's body, and did not find the phone bug on him, and he didn't know whether it was discarded or destroyed by him, or he really didn't bring it with him, so Ian couldn't judge whether it was the phone bug. what kind of situation.
Ian couldn't find it, so Ian could only give up temporarily. It was a coincidence to meet Burgess and Fan Oka when he came out this time. Killed, the Blackbeard Pirates don't know if there has been expansion during this period, if not, then there are only three people left in their Pirates, one is Tiki, one is Lafayette, and one is Poison Q. It's on the verge of disbanding, it's hard for three people to support a pirate group...
It can be said that this is the result of Ian's single-handed suppression.
Now Ian is not in a hurry. The situation of the Blackbeard Pirates is much worse than the original history. Ian understands Tiki, and he will not stay dormant like this forever. It doesn’t matter if he can’t be found this time, as long as He showed up again, and Ian would always find him.
So after returning, Ian started his purchasing journey again.
And until the next day, when the news bird spread what happened on Glass Island to all parts of the world through newspapers, the Blackbeard Pirates also got the newspapers on the surface of a certain sea area.
When Lafayette finished reading the newspaper to Titch, Titch's eyes were terrific, that kind of stare that seemed to be devouring someone, showing how angry he is now!
"Hey! Damn Ian! One day I will kill you with my own hands!!!"
Tiqi slammed his fists on the table, smashing the thick table into countless pieces, and then kicked an iron bucket next to it, and the iron bucket flew out, smashing a hole in the side of the ship.
Tikki vented his resentment towards Ian in a way of venting, while Lafayette and Drug Q watched silently, letting Tikki destroy their ship.
Fortunately, Tiqi also knew that if the boat disappeared, they would be buried in the sea, so after venting for a while, Tiqi finally calmed down.
Now his eyes are still bloodshot. The deaths of Burgess and Van Oka have dealt a big blow to Tiki. This is the first time that his pirate group has been reduced in number, and there are only two people in one reduction.
"Captain, what shall we do?" Lafayette asked Tiqi with his civilized stick on his face, without the smile on his face, "Do you want to continue with our plan?"
"Of course!" Titch stared at Lafayette and said, "If we give up halfway, wouldn't Burgess and Fan Oka die in vain? Don't worry, I will help them in their enmity Reported!"
"Cough!" Poison Q still looked like he was about to die, coughing and saying weakly: "But Captain, is your news reliable? If you can't find it..."
"It's definitely possible!" Tiqi grinned his toothless mouth and sneered, "Didn't you find that the situation in this sea area is abnormal? The sea water is quite muddy!"
Lafayette and Poison Q looked towards the surface of the sea, and found that it was indeed the case. The sea should have been blue, but here it was dark, as if someone had stirred up the sand on the bottom of the sea.
"Two days ago, someone witnessed a strange scene in this sea area!" Tiqi looked at the sea and said, "It is said that at that time, a small uninhabited island here strangely broke away from the sea and flew slowly into the sky. , it seems that this matter is true, the turbid sea water here is proof, only the islands break away from the continental shelf of the seabed, can cause such a huge area of turbidity... However, only those idiots would think that this is a weirdness of the new world A kind of special climate!"
"Not the climate?" Lafayette asked suspiciously.
"Thief haha! That's right!" Tiqi laughed with open arms, "This is man-made, and as far as I know, there is only one person who can cause this phenomenon!"
"Look up!" Tiqi pointed to the sky and said to Lafayette and Drug Q: "The person we are looking for is right there!"
Lafayette and Poison Q looked in the direction Titch pointed, and saw several islands of different sizes slowly floating in the sky in the high clouds, forming the appearance of an archipelago.
These floating islands are different from ordinary empty islands. The lower part of real empty islands is completely composed of clouds, but the bottom of these islands is all conical rock foundations, and even some islands have this from the island. The rivers flowing down the edge, these rivers seem to be cut off by people, and when they reach the edge of the island, they can only fall vertically, forming a waterfall.
This is simply a rare spectacle...
"Finally found you!" Tiki laughed wildly: "The legendary admiral of the great pirate, the flying pirate Golden Lion Shiji!"
Lafayette pressed the brim of his hat, and asked with some doubts: "Captain, is the Golden Lion Shiji still alive? He has disappeared since twenty years ago..."
"Besides his Piao Piao fruit, who else can fly the entire land and island into the sky?" Tiqi snorted coldly and said, "Of course he is still alive! At the beginning, he wanted to escape from the city prison He escaped, even at the expense of cutting off his own legs, and after escaping, he was on Whitebeard's ship once, and I was still in the Whitebeard Pirates at that time, and I could see clearly that the Golden Lion at that time Shi Ji, his whole body is full of revenge, how could such a character die so easily?"
"I see, but it seems that the world government also knows that Shiji the Golden Lion is still alive, otherwise we wouldn't have found so many sighting reports about floating islands in the confidential intelligence room..." Lafayette said.
"Of course, after Roger was executed, the Golden Lion Shiji went to Marin Vandor alone and killed a large number of marines!" Tiqi said: "In order to stop him, Sengoku and Garp joined forces and sent the Navy headquarters to Most of them were destroyed before they were repelled. He is a figure of the same era as Roger and Whitebeard, so he cannot be overemphasized. Of course, the world government must monitor his situation. However, it is estimated that the world government is gradually Let your guard down. After all, he hasn’t appeared for more than 20 years. You guys didn’t realize that there are fewer and fewer sighting reports about islands flying into the sky?…”
"Having said that, but Captain..." Lafayette said with some concern, "According to what you said, Shiji the Golden Lion and Whitebeard are also friends. If he sees you, he might attack you! After all, you are trying to assassinate Over white beard…”
"I'm sure he will attack!" Tiqi said with a grim expression on his face, "but it's just a shot, he won't kill me, because I'm sure he's been holding back his energy for revenge for more than 20 years. The world government and navy, and my plan is definitely attractive to him... More importantly, Whitebeard is not dead! Isn't he?"
"Okay, then I'll go up and have a look first! I hope I can get in touch with this pirate admiral..." Lafayette's arms turned into wings, flapping and flying into the sky, towards the high-altitude floating island The group walked away slowly.
Watching Lafayette leave, Tiki regained his ferocious expression, looked at the floating island in the sky, and said in a low voice: "Ian, you can't stop me, the day I appear again, the whole world will Those who know my name..."
……………
And Ian, who was still in the process of purchasing, didn't know that when he was searching, he and Blackbeard actually missed it.
His search targets at that time were all concentrated on the islands on the sea, but Tiqi, because of the news, had been searching for the islands and flew into the sea area of the sky. Of course, there would be no islands in such a sea area...
