Ian didn't guess wrong, Shanks came out this time, it was indeed because Hawkeye went to see Shanks after meeting him, which made Shanks temporarily come to Ian.

However, it was really a coincidence that he met Ian here at St. Poplar, not the Prophet Shanks.

History has actually deviated again when Ian decided to hunt down Blackbeard Titch with Ace, and if Ace had pursued Titch alone, Shanks would have finally chosen to meet Whitebeard Edward Newgate, and told Daddy about Blackbeard's danger, and hoped that Whitebeard could recall Ace and let him stop chasing Blackbeard.

The last time Ace found Shanks, he thanked Shanks for saving Luffy, and he knew Shanks, but even with such a relationship, Shanks didn't think about finding Ace directly and asking him to give up the pursuit, this is because Shanks knew that Ace was a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the only person who could make him give up the pursuit was Whitebeard, even if he came forward to find Ace directly, he couldn't let Ace stop.

So Shanks originally planned to set off and go to the New World to find Whitebeard's father once, and even at that time, Shanks already knew that Ace was chasing Blackbeard with Ian, and he didn't change this idea.

The reason is very simple, Shanks and Ian didn't know each other at all at that time, and coupled with Ian's identity as the Seven Martial Seas, he was also afraid that it would backfire.

However, when Hawkeye's friend arrives and tells Shanks about his relationship with Ian, Shanks changes his mind.

People who can become the Four Emperors have their own pride, Shanks knows Whitebeard's character very well, and knows that if he goes to Whitebeard by his junior, Whitebeard may not listen to him, and in the case that there is really no way, Shanks will choose to meet Whitebeard, but now he has a better choice, that is, to meet Ian and Ace through the relationship between Hawkeye and Ian.

Shanks knows that Ian was the one who almost joined the Whitebeard Pirates in the first place, and Ace is a close friend and brother, if he can persuade Ian, then maybe he can even let Ace give up his plan to hunt Blackbeard.

This is the reason why he suddenly went to sea, and his unusual movement at that time startled the naval ships that were monitoring them, and they hurriedly reported this movement of the red-haired pirates to the naval headquarters.

It's just that Shanks had a limited understanding of Ian at that time, and his deeds about Ian, the Seven Martial Seas, all came from hearsay, although he knew that Ian had fought with the Admiral, and he didn't know why he became the Seven Martial Seas, but after all, he hadn't really met Ian, and he didn't know anything about Ian's strength at all.

In his opinion, even if Ian and Ace hunt down Blackbeard together, there is a high chance that something will happen, because Blackbeard is too insidious.

It's just that what makes Shanks a little stunned is that when he was halfway and was about to approach the island of Santing in Alabastan, a news suddenly came, saying that Ian and Ace had successfully captured the Blackbeard Pirates and had handed them over to the Whitebeard Pirates to take away!

This news must have made Shanks quite depressed, because it was a bit beyond his expectations.

Blackbeard was arrested, and after Shanks repeatedly confirmed that the news was true, his purpose of coming to Ian and Ace was naturally in vain, so after thinking about it, Shanks could only decide to continue to wait and see how things developed, and at the same time, because he learned that Ian and they had already set off and left Alabastan, Shanks could only turn and leave.

That's why in the Navy's report, it is said that the red-haired pirates "suddenly turned around......

At that time, Ian's sailing route was originally from Gaya Island, but Shanks lost the purpose of looking for Ian, so naturally it was impossible to go to Gaya Island to stay, and it happened that their ship Red Foss had accidentally hit a reef during the voyage, which caused a little damage to the bottom of the ship, so after turning around, Shanks took the red-haired pirates to St. Poplar Island, where he wanted to buy some high-quality wood to repair the Red Foss.

It's just that Shanks himself didn't expect that during the time he sailed to St. Poplar, Ian's ship did not go to Gaya Island, but was unfortunately swept up by Luffy's empty island adventure, and actually followed Luffy and them to Sky Island, and when he returned, because he captured Anilu's Ark Proverbs, there was a deviation on the route, and it also fell on the route of St. Poplar Island!

Shanks hadn't noticed the pirate flag on the Ark's motto before, he was just attracted by the gold-made ship, but his deputy captain Ben Bankman, the handsome uncle with the pipe, noticed this, so he told Shanks.

The ship of the Dragon Hunter Pirates suddenly appeared here, which was really unexpected for Shanks, who made a special trip to look for it but failed to meet it, and no longer wanted to find it, but encountered it again, which can only be said to be a joke of fate.

However, anyway, since he met here, Shanks still decided to meet Ian, and he was also very curious about Ian, because his friend Hawkeye, who has always been alone, would suddenly appear a nephew and nephew, not to mention, and came to him for a drink, looking very happy, so Shanks naturally wanted to meet Ian.

After sitting down and listening to Shanks's eloquent words, Ian finally realized that such things had happened to him and Ace after they left Alabastan.

Looking at the red-haired uncle in front of him who laughed from time to time, Ian felt really strange.

Although the red-haired Shanks is the Four Emperors, his usual personality is actually very easy-going, and he didn't even mention the matter of Anilu's attack on him just now, and it seems that he didn't take it to heart at all.

This Ian figured it out, because in his impression, the red-haired Shanks was provoked by a group of bandits when he was in the East China Sea Windmill Village, and he was still smiling.

But this does not mean that the redhead is harmless, but because of these provocations, as long as he does not touch Shanks's bottom line, he will not care.

This kind of personality that seems to be nervous makes Ian feel very familiar, because it seems that Luffy is also such a character.

Luffy may have been influenced by Shanks's character, so who was Shanks's personality affected? Ian thought about it, and felt that there was only one person who would be like this, and that was One Piece Gore Brown. D. Roger!

Thinking of Roger, Ian suddenly remembered someone, and that was Rayleigh, the Hades!

Uncle Reilly, is he okay? Ian suddenly missed him a little.

As the deputy captain of One Piece, in fact, Rayleigh had mentioned Shanks to Ian at the beginning, so Ian couldn't help but say to Shanks: "That...... Big Brother Shanks...... I'll call you that, Uncle Reilly once told me about you......"

Poof! Shanks was sluggling with the beer Matthew had brought him, but after hearing Ian's words, he squirted it out!

"Ahem! Cough!! Shanks coughed a few times, then raised his head, looked at Ian in surprise and said, "You...... Who did you just say!? ”

"Uncle Reilly! Immortal Reilly! Ian repeated.

Shanks looked at Ian in disbelief: "You...... Where did you hear that name? ”

"Uncle Reilly, he told me himself!" Ian reacted after finishing speaking, and said, "Oh! By the way, you're afraid you haven't seen Uncle Reilly in a long time, right? So you may not know that I have become a disciple of Uncle Reilly before! ”

Shanks was really shocked at this time, he didn't expect that Ian was actually a disciple of Reilly!?

It is true that he has not seen Reilly for many years, because Reilly has been living in seclusion on the island of Chambord since he was disbanded, and Shanks has not been close to the island because of his identity, after all, it is close to the headquarters of the Navy, and once he appears, he may be waiting for a large number of warships of the Navy......

"That...... Also, Luffy once mentioned you to me! Ian didn't seem to think he was shocked enough, and then threw out this sentence, saying, "My junior brother Zoro is in Luffy's pirates, and Luffy is Ace's younger brother, this time we are on the Sky Island, and we are all staying together......"

Shanks was completely dumbfounded at this time, he never thought that there would be such a deep relationship between Ian and him, in addition to the relationship between Hawkeye!

I can't describe Shanks's mood at this time, I originally thought that the two should be very strangers, but I didn't expect that after such a chat, I suddenly found that the other party was with me at all, which is really amazing!

Shanks finally knew why Ian called him big brother just now, Shanks is now about 37 years old, and Ian is only 20 years old, plus now that the two have such a deep relationship, then this big brother is really fine......

"Wha!" After Shanks came back to his senses, he immediately laughed happily, if he had known that this was the case, then what he had done so much in the first place, he should have found Ian directly to drink with him.

He laughed and patted Ian on the shoulder as he turned his head and shouted at Ben Bankman on the Radder Forth opposite, "Ben! Come here! Hahaha, come to meet our little brother, come to the banquet! ”
