A day later, on the vast sea, a ship was sailing. Teana Wwww. ⒉
This is a single-masted medium-sized sailing ship with a black pirate flag hanging on the top of the mast. The pattern of the pirate flag is a pattern of spades in a playing card as the base picture. A skull is drawn in the frame of the spades, and the skull is He's wearing the exact same hat as Ace.
That's right, this is the pirate flag of Ace's Spades Pirates.
On the boat, Ian was looking forward to him sitting on the deck with his arms folded, looking at Ace squatting in front of him with disdain.
Ace, on the other hand, smiled and didn't mind Ian's gaze, and said, "Just promise to come down! Okay?"
Ian raised his palms and said, "Stop! Stop it, don't say such misleading words! Do you know that someone is already calling you the heroine Ace!?"
What the hell is going on? This starts after putting out the fire yesterday.
At that time, Ian could only run with Ace on his back because he was exhausted. He didn't mind at first, thinking that Ace was just leading him to escape from the fire site. However, what Ian never expected was that this guy Ace Finally ran all the way to the port!
He didn't know where he got such a medium-sized ship and used it as his pirate ship. After arriving at the port, he threw Ian onto the ship, and then ordered to set sail!
Ian was stunned at the time, and he didn't come back to himself until the ship sailed out of the port, and quickly asked Ace what he wanted to do.
As a result, Ace told him very bluntly that he wanted Ian to be his deputy captain!
Ian had the feeling of beeping the dog at that time, he was kidnapped by Ace because he didn't agree with each other!
But unfortunately, Ian was in a weak stage, and he didn't even have the strength to swim back to Bibiko Island, so he could only watch the boat go further and further away.
And in the following time, Ace persistently pestered Ian, insisting that he agree to become the deputy captain.
The current Spades Pirates, including Ace, only have seven members. The remaining six members are those who have been following Ace. They witnessed the scene of Ian cutting open the warehouse building. , I was shocked by Ian, so when I heard that Ace wanted Laian to join the crew as the deputy captain, it can be said that everyone in the Spade Pirates agreed with it.
Ian was so angry that Ace brought himself on board without even asking him a question. He originally wanted to stay on Bibiko Island for two more days. After all, Bill They were still on the island, and Roland Gale didn't tell him when he died. Many things hadn't been resolved yet, and they were dragged out to sea by Ace.
It's all right now, after Ian got out of the weak period, the ship is already in the vast sea, where can I find the way back to Bibiko Island
Ace sometimes looks silly, just like Luffy, but in fact he is also very smart. He used this method to force Ian to follow his boat.
This is really a "thief ship"!
So now, Ian is mad at Ace! How could he agree to his request
"Captain Ace, Boss Ian, it's time for breakfast!" At this moment, Jimmy, one of the members of the Spade Pirates, who was the chef on the ship, brought two plates of food to the two of them.
Now the members of the Spades Pirates on the ship call Ace the captain and Ian the boss. It seems that in their eyes, Ian is the deputy captain of the ship by default.
This made Ian very helpless, so he simply stopped talking and started eating with the food.
Don't tell me, Chef Jimmy's craftsmanship is really good. Ian can figure out why Ace chose these crew members as partners.
Ace was also eating at this time, his two cheeks were bulging, and he said while eating: "You are a good friend, why don't you want to be my negative (deputy) captain?"
Ian looked at him with black eyes, and said, "Don't talk while eating!"
"Oh! I'm sorry!" Ace bowed his head politely and apologized.
So the two ate in silence. After eating, Ian threw the tableware away, and then said to Ace: "It's not that I can't be your vice-captain, but I can't be a pirate. With a pirate In terms of identity, it is inconvenient for me to act on many things!"
Yes, in fact, to Ian, whether it is a pirate, a navy, or a pirate hunter, it doesn’t really matter to him, because he knows very well that with his own personality, even if he becomes a pirate, He won't be that kind of vicious pirate. Similarly, he won't become a scum like Colonel Mouse when he becomes a navy. As long as he can stick to his heart, he will be the same in everything.
In game terms, Ian is actually from the neutral and lawful camp.
But when it doesn't matter, it depends on the situation. For him, at this stage, he must find a way to make money. If he is a navy, his backing is big enough, but he may not be able to make money, because it seems that the navy is catching the sea. A thief is a duty and an obligation. Those who can't get rewards can only gain merit and get promoted, and this is especially true for pirates. Ian doesn't want to be a vicious pirate who robs houses, but it is true that he only relies on taking risks to find treasures. Unreliable, if anyone can easily find the treasure, there may be no pirates in this world.
After all, the identity of a pirate hunter cannot be lost for the time being. There may be changes in the future, but it is definitely not now.
Ian was very pleased with Ace's request. He knew that it would be impossible for Ace to make such an invitation if he didn't really regard himself as a friend and partner.
But just like when Ian asked Ace not to be a pirate, Ace couldn't agree, and it's the same now. Ian also couldn't agree to Ezra's being a pirate.
So, Ian told Ace about his situation in detail, and told him why he couldn't be a pirate.
After listening to Ian's words, Ace finally didn't insist.
However, Chef Jimmy, who has been standing by and listening, suddenly said: "Boss Ian, you are not a pirate, you are just to make money, right? But, if you can become Qi Wuhai, wouldn't it be the same?"
Ian stared blankly at Jimmy.
Fuck! This makes sense!
Ian really didn't think of this before. He just thought that he must not become a pirate, otherwise he would not be able to go to the navy to receive the bounty, but he never thought that if he could become a member of Qibuhai Being a member is actually the same as being a pirate hunter, because Shichibukai is originally a means for the government to check and balance pirates, and the pirates caught by Shichibukai can also be used to receive bounties, which is recognized by the government.
Of course, if you want to become a Qiwuhai, you must have the strength to defeat a Qiwuhai. Ian doesn't know how his current strength compares with Qiwuhai, and he is also a Qiwuhai. It seems that his strength is also high. Low, with Hawkeye Mihawk's strength, he can be tied with Shanks of the Four Emperors. If he is used as a comparison, Ian is not qualified now.
So although what Jimmy said made sense, Ian still didn't plan to think about it for the time being.
Now that he is already on Ace's boat, he will simply go with Ace's boat first. Anyway, he can't sail by himself, and Ace was delayed because of recruiting partners on Bibiko Island. After a while, his recording pointer was already full of magnetism and could point to the next island. If he followed him, he could go to the next island smoothly.
Ian asked and heard Jimmy say that it might take about seven days to reach the next island.
Such a long time cannot be wasted, so Ian said to Ace: "Let's fight!"
This is actually what Ian has thought of doing for a long time. Ace has already eaten the burning fruit, and he belongs to the kind of character who is about to improve his skills by leaps and bounds. He came to level up as an opponent!
As long as he can defeat him, Ian can get a lot of experience points, which is much better than leveling with Sauron in Frost Moon Village.
And fighting Ace has another advantage, that is, to accumulate experience in fighting against natural devil fruit ability users in advance. When Ian was in Rogue Town, although Ian also fought with Smoker twice, but Smoker Ge's fruit ability lacks offensiveness and is more inclined to control ability, which is completely different from Ace's burning fruit.
Ian knows that domineering is something that everyone is born with, so he must also have the potential for domineering, but he has not developed it. Right now, all he uses is the ability of mind, and the natural system like Ace If people with abilities fight against each other, they can also have a good experience, and see what is the difference between mind ability and domineering.
At the same time, this method can also be used to let Ace become familiar with his burning fruit ability as soon as possible...
After hearing Ian's proposal, Eston was also excited. The fight he had with Ian in Rogue Town was actually not serious. Seeing Ian's serious expression now, Ace knew that this time It's time to get real.
"Come on!" Ace clenched his right hand into a fist in front of his chest, and opened his left hand with five fingers. Flames burst out from his fingers, posing his signature posture...
