Chapter Sixty-Eight: Success
As a competent pirate hunter, or rather as a money junkie, how could Ian have forgotten the Dragon Pirates of the East China Sea?
As one of the only tens of millions of pirates in the East China Sea, the leader of the Evil Dragon Pirates: Ah Long's bounty is now 20 million Bailey, and Ian will not think that he has too much money at all.
Unlike the Creek Pirates, the Creek Pirates are known as the overlords of the East China Sea, because they are numerous and powerful, if Ian hadn't seized the opportunity to kill Creek when he went ashore, it would not be so easy for Ian to find trouble with Creek at sea, and his men of more than 3,000 people, even if they lined up for Ian to kill, they would have to kill for several days.
This is also the reason why Ian was in a hurry to leave Creek and kill him at that time, he knew very well that he was alone, and the opportunity to face Creek alone was just such a once, it would be a pity not to seize it.
Now that Creek has been given the head, two important cadres have been arrested, and his pirate group has been disbanded, although Bucky's guy ran away, but he was beaten very badly by Ace, and he probably didn't dare to show up in a short time, so if you count it, the famous pirates in the East China Sea are only the Evil Dragon Pirates.
Aaron's bounty is higher than Creek's, that's because of the ferocity of the fish-men, if the Creek pirates are powerful, then the dragon pirates are strong, the fish-people are born with 10 times stronger strength than humans, and the fish-people are also experts in sea combat, they can breathe freely in the water, and can calmly attack warships from the sea, which brings great difficulty to the navy to destroy them.
Fortunately, the Evil Dragon Pirates did not loot and recruit people like the Creek Pirates, Aaron is quite discriminatory against humans, and his Pirates are almost all composed of fishmen, and their power naturally cannot expand too quickly, so the Dragon Pirates occupied the village of Cocosia in the East China Sea, and stationed there, establishing a stronghold in the town.
Because Cocosia Village is rich in citrus, it is also called Orange Town, because people here have a stable source of income, and the Evil Dragon Pirates collect protection fees here at a fixed time, squeeze the villagers here, and make money like shearing sheep, not only Cocosia Village, but also more than 20 surrounding villages, so that their looting behavior is naturally less and more low-key, so the overlord of the East China Sea is Crick, not Aaron.
Ian went all the way to the sea, because he lacked the guidance of the chart, and he didn't know where the Cocosia Village was, so naturally he couldn't meet the Evil Dragon Pirates, in fact, he came all the way, whether it was Bucky or Creek, he was sent to the door, and it wasn't Ian who took the initiative to come to the door to find trouble.
But now it's different, Ian is a swordsmanship instructor in the Navy of Rogue Town, and he can go to sea on a warship under the pretext of actual combat exercises, so he can naturally go to Aaron for trouble.
Before he came out, he had already looked at the nautical chart and calculated the route, so he didn't go around in circles, and directly let the warship go to Cocosia Village.
Ian also knew that after this incident, he would definitely be kicked out of the gate of the naval base by Smoker, but he couldn't care so much, anyway, his term of office had already arrived, and he would have the opportunity to pull a vote for the navy as a thug like this, where would he find a second time?
When a pirate hunter deserves his job, he is also the first one in the East China Sea!
Because it was a tailwind, the speed of the warship was very fast, and it didn't take long for it to move away from the range of Rogue Town.
However, after sailing for a while, Dusty also felt that something was wrong, Ian had never changed his course from beginning to end, and it didn't feel like going out to sea in circles to find pirates.
But he didn't want to ask Ian, so he had to hold it in his heart, and wherever Ian went, she followed him, firmly carrying out Smoker's orders.
Ian didn't care about her, and finally the old god moved a chair on the ground and sat on the deck, basking in the sun and counting his ice tearstones.
After the battle with Crick, Ian also found out that he was embarrassed that he didn't have blue, if it weren't for the fact that there was an evil eye master skill to save the scene, he probably could only watch Creek escape, so during the period of serving as a swordsmanship instructor, after there was no battle, Ian replaced Shelley's card, and once his mental energy value was restored, he would consume all of it to make Ice Tear Stone and store it.
Ice Tear Stone has a drawback, that is, how many thoughts are consumed to make, and the Ice Tear Stone contains only 20% in the end, and the Ice Tear Stone made by 100 points contains 20 points of thought, and the 80 points made by Nian only contain 16 points, so in order to maximize the effect, Ian waits for a full day, and only makes it once after the thought can be completely full.
After being a swordsmanship instructor at the base for a month, so far, there are almost 30 Ice Tear Stones in his hand, and if all these Ice Tear Stones are used, there will be more than 600 thoughts for Ian to reply, which should be enough in the short term.
Just as Devil Fruit abilities tend to rely on their own fruit abilities, Ian also feels that there is nothing wrong with relying on the system to improve his strength, and of course, while using the system to become stronger, Ian himself is constantly developing some additional uses of cards.
The Ice Tearstone is a very beautiful round gem, but the strange thing is that other people can't see this gem, even if Ian puts it in his hand, others see it as an empty palm, which is fundamentally different from the exclusive treasure that can be manifested.
The bounty that Smoker gave him, Ian has already recharged it all, after all, he is not easy to hold so much money, a total of 27 million, piled up almost a table, if all recharged into diamonds, it is not only convenient to carry, but also convenient for him to draw cards at any time.
But until now, Ian hasn't drawn a card, and his third card slot hasn't been unlocked, and even if he does, he can only use it instead, so Ian plans to wait until he reaches level 10 to draw it.
Killing Creek, as well as the ghost fighter Ah Jin, plus killing so many pirates, Ian has gained a lot of experience before, from level 6 and a half to more than level 7, and it looks like he is almost at level 8.
This is also one of the reasons for the idea of fighting the dragon pirates, the fishmen are stronger than ordinary humans, and if you fight them, you will be able to provide more experience, right? Maybe after killing the Dragon Pirates, you can reach level 10, and then draw a good card to equip it, and the safety on the great voyage will be a little more secure.
The ship had been sailing for about eight or nine hours, and at this moment, a naval soldier suddenly ran up to Dusty and whispered a few words, and Dusty immediately came up to Ian in a rage.
"You...... You actually brought us to Cocosia Village!? The sword in Dusty's hand was eager to be pulled out, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know where this is!?" Do you want to kill this ship's soldiers!? ”
"Oh!?" Ian smiled slightly: "So, it's almost there?" ”
He stood up and looked overboard the ship, and sure enough, land was seen in the distance.
"How dare you laugh!?" Dusty said angrily, "You really know where this is! What kind of actual combat exercises, you brought us to find the Evil Dragon Pirates, right? ”
The more Dusty said, the more angry she became, although she had just arrived in the East China Sea for a short time, she also learned some about the East China Sea pirates, she knew the name of the Dragon Pirates, and the navy had also been dispatched to capture the pirates, but they did not reach the station of the Dragon Pirates at all, and on the way, they were attacked by those fishmen from the bottom of the sea, causing the warship to sink and the operation failed.
Such a pirate group, if the navy in the East China Sea did not have all the preparations, they would not dare to attack them, and now this guy Ian, in the name of actual combat exercises, came with a group of low-level naval soldiers, is this trying to cause them to die at the bottom of the sea?
Dusty doesn't care, she's a navy, and she's conscious, if it's just her, she'll come, and follow Ian to kill the pirates, but the other soldiers are different, they don't have much strength, and they can't beat the dragon pirates at all.
"Turn the rudder! We return! Dusty shouted loudly, although Ian was nominally leading the team, but the command of the warship was in Dusty's hands.
However, before the words fell, he heard a disdainful sneer from Ian, and said, "So this is the navy, and you want to run away before you even see the pirates?" ”
Ian originally hit the idea of getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket this time, but it's all on this one, how can they just go back? So he immediately choked them with words.
"You're ......!" Dusty turned sharply to look at Ian, feeling that Ian was more hateful than ever.
He actually used the reputation of the Navy as a threat!?
The other naval soldiers did not dare to carry out Dusty's orders, and once they turned around, the navy's behavior of fleeing without a fight was confirmed, and they did not dare to take responsibility for such a reputational loss.
"Peace of mind!" Ian sighed, patted Dusty on the shoulder, and said, "Do you think I'm really that stupid, fighting a naval battle with a fishman?" I don't want to die! ”
"So what are you going to do?" Dusty asked, puzzled.
Ian said to the naval soldiers on the ship: "I also know that it may be too difficult for you to fight the fish-man pirates, but don't worry, I promised Smoker to bring you back intact, then it will definitely be done, and then the cadres of the Evil Dragon Pirates will be dealt with by me, and you will be responsible for capturing those little minions, so it will be no problem, right?" Isn't the Navy just for catching pirates? ”
Dusty gritted her teeth and was in a dilemma, not knowing whether she should agree or not, if she didn't agree, the honor of the Navy would be ruined in her hands, but if she agreed, she didn't know how sure Ian was.
Ian was standing beside her at this time, and he didn't look at her, but just whispered: "Dusty, we've been together for a month, we're friends, right?" Do you think Colonel Smoker really didn't guess my purpose at all? But he still agreed to the exercise, do you know why? Isn't it okay to help a friend? ”
This sentence inadvertently became the last straw that overwhelmed Dusty, she gritted her teeth and shouted: "The direction remains the same, the goal!" Cocosia Village! ”
After the sailors were in shock, Dusty said to Ian, "I hope you do what you say and return safely with these soldiers!" ”
Ian smiled slightly, and the plan was finally successful.
So he also shouted loudly: "Listen, even if you see the ships of the Evil Dragon Pirates, you are not allowed to open fire, we will stop directly in Cocosia Village!" ”
