It's a rare day in the New World, with the sun shining brightly, the sea calm, and flocks of seagulls soaring, swooping to the surface from time to time to prey on fish.

More than a dozen jagged ships are sailing in this area, and this fleet includes merchant ships, cruise ships, and warships, which seem very strange in the mix.

However, those pirate ships that came out from time to time in the vicinity, taking advantage of the good weather to get a vote, immediately fled like frightened birds, and did not even dare to approach!

Because, on this fleet is the flag of the Dragon Hunter Pirates......

The flagship of the fleet is an armed merchant ship, and on the deck, Ian is basking in the sun with Old Man Karp while drinking afternoon tea and eating pancakes.

However, this afternoon tea was eaten kindly, because Old Man Karp was ...... Feeding little Ian with pancakes......

Ian didn't plan to summon the doppelganger out, but Hawking and his family members, I don't know if they are idle, they shout all day long that they want the little master, and Ian doesn't summon little Ian out, so they sway back and forth in front of Ian one by one, looking at their boss with resentful eyes.

Once or twice, Ian can still pretend not to see it, but there are too many times, Ian can't help but have a bruise on his head, since when has his doppelganger become more popular than the main body!?

In desperation, in order to hide from Qingjing, Ian had to let little Ian come out......

However, just as the family members were cheering for the appearance of the little master, and were about to take out all kinds of toys and food they treasured to tease the little master, the old man Karp, whose eyes lit up after seeing little Ian, appeared.

And then...... Then little Ian was taken away by Karp, leaving behind a group of family members who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak......

Karp didn't expect that Ian would have such a magical ability to create such a clone, but there is no doubt that the appearance of little Ian made Old Man Karp find fun in his boring sea journey.

The older he gets, the more he likes children, and Karp is naturally no exception, Karp didn't treat Ian as an outsider in the first place, but at this time he regarded Little Ian as his little grandson.

Although Karp adopted Roger's son Ace since he was a child, and later had his grandson Luffy, who is no longer a novice grandfather, but to be honest, the days when Karp really took Ace and Luffy are only a handful, whether it is Ace or Luffy, their identities are very sensitive, and Karp himself is in the navy, so he can only put the two of them in the bandit Dadan to raise, plus Ace and Luffy were both bear children back then, and they yelled all day long to be pirates, so even if Karp occasionally saw them a few times, The attitude towards these two grandsons is also mostly beating......

But now it's different, Xiao Ian is not a bear child, he is ignorant, he is very obedient and well-behaved, as long as Ian, a person who is not hostile to his body, Little Ian will not resist the other party.

So this led to Karp finally finding the feeling of being a grandfather, and little Ian was held by him wherever he went......

It's nothing, but ...... Although he doesn't beat people or shame his face, Karp still has that kind of arrogant character, and he treats children simply and rudely, just like now, although he is feeding little Ian pancakes, he doesn't care if little Ian can eat or not, and stuffs it into Little Ian's mouth vigorously!

Ian saw that little Ian's cheeks were bulging, and he looked pained, and Karp laughed and said, "Yes, yes, eat more, eat more to grow taller!" ”

Ian said with a headache: "Old man, I said that he is my doppelganger, and it is impossible to grow tall......"

As a result, Karp stared: "Isn't he eating?" ”

"It's really eating...... But ......" Ian can't go on anymore, damn it, the old man doesn't seem to realize what he's doing.

Forget it, little Ian, you ask for more blessings...... Ian twisted his face and sold his trumpet......

Finally, when Karp finished feeding the pancakes, little Ian was finally put down by Karp and let him play by himself, so little Ian flew away.

Not far away, the family members who had been waiting for a long time opened their arms happily to welcome the return of the little master......

Seeing this scene, Ian's face twitched, and he couldn't understand why so many people liked his trumpet clone......

When little Ian left, Karp finally got serious, took a sip of tea and asked Ian, "Are all the slave marks done?" ”

Ian nodded and said, "Well, it's all done." ”

Needless to say, the rescued slaves had the mark of the Draconian, which represented a shameful memory for them, so not long after Ian started sailing, he began to remove the marks of the slaves on each ship one by one, and he was busy for several days before he finally got it done.

Karp glanced back at the ship behind him and sighed, "Among these people, there are really many talents......

It was not for nothing that he sighed, among the thousands of slaves rescued by Ian, many of them were experienced old sailors, with them, Ian did not have to worry about navigation in the New World, two days ago, they experienced a storm, but more than a dozen ships under the control of these sailors, all survived the storm unharmed.

With these people here, Ian is confident that he will return to Cake Island with all of them......

Originally, because Cap was there, Ian planned to send him to Daddy Whitebeard's territory first and reunite him with Ace, but when they approached an island in the Whitebeard Pirates' sphere of influence and contacted the Whitebeard Pirates, they learned that Daddy Whitebeard had rushed to Cake Island with most of his men.

Not only that, but the red-haired pirates were also on their way to Cake Island, and it was because of this news that Ian asked the fleet to rush back to Cake Island.

The Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates gathered on Cake Island, which surprised Ian, but he could probably guess why, because of the existence of Ian's bond, the three Four Emperor Pirates had long been connected, but Ian didn't expect that the situation of the Three Emperors gathering would come so soon.

Karp naturally thought of this situation, so he suddenly asked Ian: "Ian, do you think it is possible for the Four Emperors and the Navy to reconcile?" ”

This question made Ian stunned for a moment and asked, "How can you say that?" ”

"All along, the four emperors have been working independently!" Karp explained: "They compete and confront each other, but because they are pirates, they are all unified hostile to the navy, and in order to fight against the Four Emperors, the navy also constantly woos the pirates, giving the location of the Seven Martial Seas, in order to balance the power of the Four Emperors, it seems that no one has ever thought that the navy and the Four Emperors have reached a reconciliation...... But your appearance gives me a vague premonition that maybe through you, this possibility can be achieved......"

"You're looking too highly of me!" Ian shook his head and said, "Don't forget, among all the Four Emperors, I am the youngest generation, so even if I have a good relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates, it is not necessarily that they will be able to listen to my opinions, as the Four Emperors, they also have their own pride and ideas......"

"Yes, when you say that, it seems that there is indeed a difficulty!" Karp rubbed the top of his head and sighed.

Karp used the word 'difficult' to describe this matter, but did not use the word 'impossible', which means that in his mind, there is probably still a certain possibility of this thing.

Ian could hear what he meant, but he didn't say anything.

At this moment, the lookout on the flagship suddenly shouted loudly: "Boss Ian, there is a pirate ship on the sea that is approaching us!" ”

Well? During this time, the fleet was sailing on the sea, it was simply a ghost, and no one dared to approach it at all, so why did a pirate ship suddenly appear now?

Confused, Ian got up, walked to the bow of the ship, picked up a telescope and looked at the sea ahead.

The pirate ship was still far away, and in the telescope, it was just a small picture, but this time, Ian was stunned.

Because he saw that on this pirate ship, there were people desperately waving in this direction!

Looking at the flag on that ship again, Ian almost groaned, because that pirate ship turned out to be the Sonny! And the person standing on the boat and waving desperately is that guy Luffy!

How did you come across them here!? Ian was surprised for a while, and turned back to ask Hawking, "Are there any islands near this sea area?" ”

"Ah, some bosses!" Hawking was stunned for a moment and replied: "About four hundred nautical miles in the direction of us at 3 o'clock, it is Dressrosa!" ”

"Really!" Ian suddenly suddenly, it turned out that unconsciously, the fleet had arrived near the sea area where Dressrosa was located, and the Straw Hat Pirates appeared here, had they already been to Dressrosa?

With this doubt in mind, Ian raised his binoculars again to look.

It seems that because the dragon hunter pirate fleet has been discovered, the people of the Straw Hat Pirates have come to the deck to look, and Ian has also seen everyone on the Straw Hat Pirates ship clearly.

Well...... Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Chopper, Brooke, Frankie, and Mr2 Xiao Feng Feng, in addition, Ian also saw two figures, one large and one small, the big one was Haixia Jinping, and as for the little man who was standing on the side of the ship and jumping desperately...... It turned out to be Leo of the Don Tatar clan!?

It's strange that Leo actually got on the ship of the Straw Hat Pirates?

This made Ian scratch his head, and he found that the original members of the Straw Hat Pirates had long been disrupted beyond recognition......

Just as Ian was still sighing, several more people suddenly appeared in the field of vision of the telescope......

Several, people wearing Wano Country samurai uniforms......

"it!" Ian finally couldn't help but scream, because he recognized it at once, Luffy and a few people on their ship turned out to be Jinemon and them, the retainer of the Mitsuki family!

Fox fire Nishiki Gate, showers Kanjuro, and ...... Momonosuke Mitsuki!
