Ian understood Marko's description. These specious "monsters" are actually just some rare birds and animals. It's just that Wano Country's closed-door policy made them too ignorant. The strange beasts were treated as monsters, and some legends were even made up for these 'monsters'.
There are many weird creatures in this world. Ian has seen many strange creatures in the past few years, so even if he suddenly sees some creatures that he has never seen before, he will just be novelty, and will not regard these creatures as Monsters, not just him, people sailing on this sea basically react like this. This is the cognitive gap between people from the outside world and people from Wano Country.
While talking, the three of them also approached the edge of the island, so they began to descend and landed on a relatively flat place on a seaside cliff.
The people of Wano Country are very xenophobic. Under the closed-door policy, this country does not have any large ports at all, because he does not welcome outsiders to this country, and they rarely go to sea themselves.
Of course, since it lives by the sea, seafood and aquatic products are naturally an important source of food, so Wano Country also has fishermen who fish, but these fishermen generally do not leave the island too far, because the laws of the island do not allow it Second, it is because if you leave too far away, accidents are easy to happen. Not only is the climate changeable on the sea, but there are also ferocious Neptune-like creatures. A small fishing boat can't stand any wind and waves at all.
Marco is the guide, he has been to this country, so after landing, he told Ian that he was going to find a nearby fishing village near the coast to inquire and check where they landed first.
When he landed before, Marco took advantage of the height in the air and looked around. He could vaguely see that there seemed to be a village in the north, so he planned to go to this village first.
Bonnie suddenly became depressed, and said, "Didn't you come here? Why do you still need to ask someone!?"
Marco spread his hands and said: "There is no way, the navigation route and the flight route are two different things. If you are flying, you can go in a straight line, but when you are sailing, you have to avoid many islands and reefs. Moreover, our Whitebeard Pirates The landing in Wano Country was only in the 'Kuri' ruled by the Kozuki family, and we have never been to other places!"
"So, what we need to determine now is, how far is it from here to 'Nine Miles', and in which direction are we going, right?" Ian asked.
Marco nodded, that's what he meant.
"Then why don't you just fly to the village?" Bonnie asked in confusion, "And why didn't you just land and walk there?"
"People in Wano country are very poor at accepting novelty!" Marko said with a smile: "Let's just fly over like this, maybe they will be shot by them with bows and arrows! So it's best to avoid these troubles. .”
Ian was also a little puzzled, and said: "Since this is the case, then if we go to the village like this, will it cause trouble? We are like this, no matter how you look at it, we are all outsiders!"
"There is no way around this!" Marco said: "Actually, I also thought about getting a few sets of clothes for residents of Wano country to wear first, but after thinking about it, the men here basically wear their hair in buns, and the women go out. Everyone has to wear a mask, we can't do the same, right!?"
Fuck! Ian couldn't help reaching out and touching his hair, thinking that if his ponytail turned into a bun like a sky-high braid, he might as well die!
"Oh my god!" Bonnie was also dumbfounded. The more she listened to Marco's description, the more she felt that people in Wano Country were like bumpkins! ? Do women have to wear masks when they go out? !
"So, no matter how we dress up, our temperament is still very different from that of the Wano country. If this is the case, then we can just go in like this!" Marco said: "It's just that, the residents here will treat us no matter what. With a vigilant mentality..."
"Be vigilant, be vigilant!" Ian said speechlessly: "As long as we ask the way, we can fly directly there!"
After discussing it, the three of them started to walk through the forest, heading for the small village in the north.
Along the way, Ian did see a lot of weird creatures in the forest. These creatures inhabiting the forest are not afraid of people. The weaker creatures, when they saw Ian and the others, looked at them curiously. And the fiercer ones still wanted to try to attack them, but it was a pity that none of them could please them.
Bonnie was looking at the cute squirrel in the forest, so she wanted to catch one and take it away, but Marco stopped her and said, "Don't mess around, Wano country Although people call these rare beasts monsters, in fact they are not afraid of these monsters, but worship them! So don’t catch these creatures randomly, because no one knows whether the creatures you catch are one of the monsters they worship. One, many pirates who came to Wano country at the beginning, it was because of catching these rare beasts that the people of Wano country resented and caused conflicts."
Hearing what Marco said, Bonnie didn't dare to ask for it anymore. The three of them shuttled through the forest, and when they encountered those ferocious creatures, they just knocked them out.
Seeing that he was almost approaching the location of the village, Ian suddenly heard a strange bird call. This bird call echoed in the forest. At first there was only one sound, but then the same sound came from a distance , one after another, as if echoing.
Marko naturally heard it too, and couldn't help but change his face, saying: "This is... a signal for warning!? There is a secret whistle from the village here!?"
Before he finished speaking, the trees not far away began to shake, and several figures bounced from the branches. After a while, the three of them discovered that they were surrounded by dozens of people!
The people who surrounded them all squatted on the trees, looking down at the three of them.
Ian raised his head and saw the appearance of these people, and found that they were all dressed in black clothes, their heads were wrapped in turbans, and their faces were covered by face scarves, leaving only a pair of eyes.
At the same time, around the waists of these men in black, there were short knives.
ninja? This was Ian's first reaction, because the outfits of these men in black were so similar to the ninjas in his impression!
Marco also noticed these ninjas in black, and whispered in surprise: "What's going on? Could it be that this village is not a fishing village!? Why are there so many ninjas!?"
Similarly, Ian also had a strange expression on his face. Of course he heard what Marco said. Since it is not a fishing village and there are so many ninjas, could it be that this is the legendary ninja village!
Hey, which unit are you from? ? Is it from Konoha Ninja Village or Kirigakure Ninja Village!
For a moment, Ian thought that he had time-traveled again... to Hokage...
This Nima always feels that the style of painting is wrong...
Before Ian could finish his emotions, he heard one of the ninjas on the tree ask: "Who is here!? Why did you trespass on the forbidden area!?"
Well, that’s probably what it meant. Ian felt that these guys spoke in a strange tone. Normally, asking a question shouldn’t be asking: Who are you
Because of Uncle Fujitora's relationship, Ian often heard him have a similar tone, such as claiming to be a servant or something, but after joining the Dragon Hunter Pirates, Fujitora's tone has become much less, and the habit of speaking has changed. gradually correcting.
Ian didn't have any dealings with these Wano people, so he looked at Marco and asked him to answer.
Marco looked up at these ninjas and said, "Don't get me wrong, we are from overseas. We don't know this is a forbidden area. We just saw a village here and wanted to ask for directions!"
The ninjas could tell that the three were from overseas, but they also saw the tattoos on Ian's arms and Marco's chest at this time.
The tattoo on Marco's chest is not much, but the tattoo on Ian's arm is the mark of the Dragon Hunter Pirates. The dragon head pierced by a sharp sword was immediately recognized by the ninjas. The ninja who spoke exclaimed: "Pirate!?"
Basically, as long as there are tattoos with skull patterns, they will be hooked with pirates. This is common sense.
And when these ninjas discovered Ian's identity as a pirate, the three immediately saw what attitude people in this country had toward pirates!
"Get out! You are not welcome in Wano Country!"
The leading ninja gave a loud shout, while the rest of the ninjas all pulled out the short knives around their waists at once.
With a sharp knife light and very unkind eyes, it's not just a joke that people in Wano country hate pirates!
Seeing this scene, Ian gave Marco a look, and asked him what to do, do you want to do it
Marko is also hesitating. To be honest, although he has also been to Wano Country, he has always been in contact with people from the Kozuki family before, and he has not had much contact with people from other regions.
Since the relationship with the Kozuki family is not bad, Marco has a good sense of people in Wano country, but he did not expect that the attitudes of the ninjas he met this time are quite different from the people in Wano country in his impression. huge.
Moreover, the ninja class is in the Wano country, and like the samurai class, they all serve the generals or daimyos of the Wano country. Since this is a ninja village, it means that there must be a big shot from the Wano country...
Ian also noticed Marco's hesitation, and immediately understood his thoughts.
But... Ian doesn't have much contact with the people of Wano Country. He came here just to find Fujitora and Ace as soon as possible and bring them back.
Anyone who stands in the way is an enemy in Ian's eyes!
So, he didn't care so much, Qianbenzakura and Black Winged Demon directly pulled out from his waist!
The choking sound immediately aroused the stress response of the ninjas, so when Ian just pulled out the blade, a wave of overwhelming shurikens had been thrown out by the ninjas, hitting the three of them!
