"You mean... he's looking for the Ile of Banbanal in the Kingdom of Illusia?"
In the room, Smoker was biting a cigar in his mouth, bare-chested, and was slowly stacking stones one by one. After hearing the report from the navy soldier at the door, he asked without turning his head.
"Yes! Colonel Smoker!" The marine soldier raised his hand in salute.
"Understood, you go down!"
Smoker responded, and after the navy soldier left, he lay back on the chair and began to think.
Although Ian is known as a swordsmanship instructor, he is not a real navy after all. It is impossible for Smoker to let him run amok in the naval base, so he arranged people to keep an eye on Ian's situation. For a while, apart from teaching the sailors swordsmanship, he went fishing at the seaside of Rogge Town and had nothing to do, but he suddenly went to the reference room to find a map of the West Sea. After Ian left, he naturally reported the matter to Smoker.
"Xihai? Banban Luoer? What is this place?"
There are too many islands in the sea, and of course it is impossible for Smoker to know all of them. He doesn't know where Bangalore is, but he does know the Kingdom of Ilucia.
It is one of the allied countries of the world government. Every time the world conference is held in the holy land of Mariejoa, the king of the Kingdom of Ilucia will be present, so Smoker, who has stayed in the navy headquarters, has naturally heard of it. When the soldier mentioned the name in his report, Smoker immediately remembered it.
"Is the Kingdom of Illusia? I heard that in recent years, there have been many uprisings and riots in this country, and there seems to be a shadow of the revolutionary army behind it. What is this fellow Ian asking about the territory of this country?"
Smoker doesn't know much about Ian, so he doesn't have any clues to associate now.
But when he thought of Ian, his bear-like hat unconsciously appeared in his mind, and then the phantom of the eye on Ian's forehead appeared.
For some unknown reason, Smoker suddenly had a bad premonition, and his intuition told him that Ian was likely to grow into a dangerous person.
But Smoker couldn't tell where the specific danger was.
Shaking his head, Smoker could only press down on this thought first, he couldn't doubt that a person is right or wrong based on unreasonable guesses, and anyway, Ian's identity is a pirate hunter, from this point of view That said, at least he is still on the side of "justice".
Ian didn't know Smoker's suspicions about him. He was in the hospital at this time, visiting Johnny and Joseph.
During the battle under the execution platform square, Ace carried the two of them aside, which saved the two from being injured by Bucky's shells behind them, and also escaped the battle between the navy and the pirates, and the injuries did not continue Aggravating, after Smoker and Dashiqi led people to clean up the mess, they were sent to the hospital for treatment, but because they were beaten by Creek Pirates for a long time, they were seriously injured , so it's not better until now.
When Ian walked into the hospital, he found that the two guys were covered in bandages, but they were still in a hurry. Johnny put on his sunglasses again, and the two of them were wolfing down their food The nurses and doctors next to him were stunned.
This vitality is really tenacious! Ian sighed, walked in and greeted them both: "Are you all right? How dare you eat like this?"
Johnny and Joseph looked up, and when they saw Ian, they couldn't help raising their hands excitedly and shouting: "Brother Ian!?"
"This time I'm the one who got you all in trouble!" Ian found a chair by their bed and sat down, and the doctors and nurses around also left with interest, letting them talk.
After hearing Ian's words, Johnny and Joseph shook their heads and said, "Where is it, we still have to thank you for avenging us!"
"What are your plans in the future?" Ian didn't want to thank them both, and asked directly, "Do you want to go to the great route with me?"
What happened this time made Ian have a good impression of Johnny and Joseph. There is absolutely nothing to say about loyalty. Although his strength is a bit weaker, he is a good at sniffing out information, and he also knows a lot about navigation. Knowing that, Ian didn't want to go on the road alone, so he asked them this way. If they agreed, Ian didn't mind taking theirs.
However, unexpectedly, after Johnny and Joseph looked at each other in dismay, they shook their heads and said, "Brother Ian, thank you for your kindness! But we also know that our strength is too weak, go We will definitely hold you back after leaving the great route, why not just stay in the East China Sea and catch little pirates or something."
Yi An understood immediately that these two guys didn't have too much ambition, so he stopped pushing and said, "Well, if someone bullies you in the future, you can report my name!"
Johnny and Joseph grinned and said, "It goes without saying that we will do this, you are our big brother!"
Ian also couldn't help laughing, these two guys are still like this, they like to climb the pole, but the nature of the two is not bad, and Ian doesn't mind them calling his name, I believe this time to kill Crick , his name should be able to deter many pirates, so that Johnny and Joseph can be a little safer.
After thinking about it, he said to the two of them again: "By the way, if you stay in the East China Sea, you may meet my junior brother in two years. His name is Roronoa Sauron. If you meet him, you will meet him." Help him, that guy is a road idiot, if no one guides him, he can get lost to the bottom of the sea!"
"Really? We remembered!" Johnny and Joseph responded, "Don't worry, Brother Ian!"
After chatting for a while, Johnny and Joseph asked Ian, "Brother, have you figured out how to get to the great route?"
Ian scratched his head and said, "Actually, I thought about taking a navy ship from No Wind, so I only need to be a passenger, but I didn't expect that the navy brought by Smoker some time ago I went back to report on my work, so now I have nothing to do."
"Brother Ian, you can't take risks alone!" Johnny said, "Even if you have a boat, you can't control it by yourself!"
"Of course I know that!" Ian said, "But you two don't want to go with me."
"You can try to recruit people in Rogue Town!" Joseph suggested, "Maybe there are other bounty hunters willing to board your ship!"
After hearing this, before Ian had time to speak, Johnny retorted: "It's better not to recruit here! The bounty hunters on the East China Sea are almost as strong as ours, even if they bring great The air route is also useless!"
Ian thought about it, and thought it made sense. Pirate bounties in the East China Sea are generally not high, so the pirate hunters here are not very good, so he asked Johnny, "Then what do you think?"
"Look for it on the great route!" Johnny said: "Brother Ian, since you have made up your mind to become a pirate hunter, then you can form a group of pirate hunters. Although there are many pirates on the great route, the same There are also a lot of bounty hunters, and there are also some people who can't continue to be pirates and want to wash their hands. These people may not be strong enough, but they have a better understanding of the great route than you recruited from the East China Sea. .”
Ian was a little moved when he heard it. Yes, relying on his own strength to fight hard is still not enough. If he is alone, first of all, intelligence is not easy to obtain. If you want to catch pirates for rewards, you can only meet Catch one by one and wait for the pirates to come to your door on their own initiative. But it's different if you have someone under your command. You can take the initiative to attack after you get the information.
Johnny's proposal made Ian think of Crocodile's Baroque studio. Although this studio is a secret criminal organization, on the surface, they appear as a group of bounty hunters.
And not only that, there are also many bounty hunter groups on the Chambord Islands. Although the composition is mixed, such organizations do exist.
Looking at the thoughtful expression on Ian's face, Johnny knew that Ian had listened, so he continued: "As for going to the great route, Brother Ian, you don't need to go alone at all, you can go with the caravan ah!"
"Huh? Caravan?" Ian asked in surprise, "There are still caravans who dare to go to the great route?"
"Of course there is. Although the only entrance to the great sea route is the reverse mountain, and it is very dangerous, it can't stand the attraction of commercial profits!" Johnny said: "For example, the special wines in the East China Sea cannot be sold in the East China Sea. What price does it come, but once it is shipped to the great route, the price will immediately increase by more than five times. If you are lucky and bring back the special products on the islands of the great route, the profit will be even higher, so many chambers of commerce form fleets every year It’s not just the East China Sea that goes to the great route, but the other three seas as well, Rogge Town is the closest place to the entrance of the great route from the East China Sea, if you want to find a caravan, it’s very easy.”
Joseph also nodded and said: "That's true, and Brother Yi'an, you are now the most famous pirate hunter in our East China Sea. Those caravans will probably scramble to recruit you, and you can take this opportunity to make a fortune!"
