Chapter 64: Koshiro's Letter
Ian didn't know that Smoker was going to take advantage of this incident to ask his superiors for money, and he only settled down at the naval base after reaching an agreement with Smoker.
He found that this temporary agreement was not bad for him, living in the naval base, he was exempt from spending money on hotels, not to mention the cost of food, the naval canteen in Rogue Town was very large, and the chef's skills were good.
After the news of the naval victory spread, the people who fled from the town of Rogue gradually returned, mainly referring to some of the local residents, who, as soon as they had settled their relatives at home, ran to the square and pointed at the traces left by the battle.
They had already heard that this time the Creek Pirates and the Bucky Pirates appeared together, but the final result was that the East China Sea Overlord Creek Pirates were destroyed and the Bucky Pirates fled.
Not only that, the members of the Creek Pirates were killed more than 200 people in this battle, and most of the dead were killed by a pirate hunter alone, and the rest were killed during the battle with the navy, and their leader Creek was also killed on the spot by the pirate hunter!
When the residents of Rogue Town heard the news, they couldn't help but cheer loudly, the notoriety of the Creek Pirates had spread all over the East China Sea, and they didn't expect that they would be eliminated by a pirate hunter now, which was really good news.
People inquired about the name of this pirate hunter, but the navy did not hide it, and told Ian's news.
When people heard that this pirate hunter named Ian had not only killed Creek, but had even captured the Bucky Pirates, they were shocked beyond measure: this pirate hunter, he actually caught two pirates with tens of millions of bounties in a row? (At this point, Bucky's bounty has been raised to 15 million.) )
Ian's name is being sung in the streets and alleys of Rogue Town, and he is almost regarded as the strongest pirate hunter in the entire East China Sea.
In particular, when they heard that Ian had become a naval swordsmanship instructor in Rogue Town, everyone was a lot more relieved, in their opinion, with such a powerful pirate hunter to teach the swordsmanship of the naval soldiers, the strength of the Rogue Town Navy would definitely improve a lot at that time, which made the residents of Rogue Town feel a lot more secure.
This may be another purpose of Smoker, after all, the riot in Rogue Town has too much impact, and releasing the news of Ian's joining the Navy can play a role in stabilizing people's hearts.
Of course, at this time, people didn't know that Ian, the "sword instructor", would only stay in the naval base for a month, and Smoker would not say such a thing.
It was out of gratitude that none of the residents of Rogue Town blamed him when they heard the news that the execution table was destroyed when Ian killed Creek! Instead, he pointed to the execution table that was being repaired with great interest and began to discuss.
"You know what? That pirate hunter Ianko is a sword master! The execution table was destroyed by his flying slash! ”
"Really? It's amazing! ”
"Also, do you see the house in the back? The final landing point of the slash was there, and even the stone was cut out of a crack, which shows how powerful it was at that time! ”
Ian is famous this time, not only the people of Rogue Town are talking about him, but the members of the Creek Pirates who escaped have also disbanded because of the loss of their leader, and when those members of the Creek Pirates are scattered all over the East China Sea, they also bring the news of Ian's killing of Creek to all directions, and Ian, a pirate hunter, has become the object of jealousy of the pirates.
No one dared to seek revenge from Ian, and Ian's killing of Creek with one blow was witnessed by many pirates, although this caused the pirates to hate him, but after weighing his own strength, he pressed down the psychology of seeking revenge.
Creek's "strongest" title has been called for so many years, and it has become true if it's not true, and now even the strongest Creek has died in the hands of Ian, where do other little pirates dare to fight any ideas?
So for a while, many pirates in the East China Sea kept a lot of low profile, for fear of being approached by Ian, a pirate hunter.
When Ian first started, he didn't expect this kind of effect, but when he went to the hotel where he was staying to pick up the letter left by Ace, he felt a little benefit, and the innkeeper didn't even pursue the matter of him and Ace eating the overlord meal and staying in the overlord restaurant after knowing that he was actually the one who killed Creek, but instead gratefully invited Ian to eat a big meal, which made Ian very embarrassed.
The letter left by Ace was obtained, and it seems that Ace had already made up his mind to leave after the matter was settled, otherwise, he could have handed the letter to Ian in person instead of letting him pick it up himself.
Ian knows that Ace has already embarked on his adventure, and he doesn't know if he will join the Whitebeard Pirates in the future, which may be very big, but because of Ian's intervention, he learned about Sapo, maybe there will be more things in the adventure, such as looking for members of the Revolutionary Army.
Ian didn't know if he could find it, because in his memory, the members of the Revolutionary Army were almost all over the world, and although they were secretly active, they were not easy for Ace to find as a pirate.
As for what Ace said in the letter to Karp, Ian didn't know, and he didn't bother to read the contents, he just wanted to wait for Karp to return and hand him the letter.
For the next two days, Ian stayed in the naval base, and the sea-building stone shackles in his hand were opened by the navy's locksmiths, and this guy Smoker took them away after the handcuffs were untied, saying that he planned to polish them and inlay the sea-building stone in his weapon ten hands, so that he could deal with the devil fruit ability in the future.
However, under Ian's strong protest, Smoker finally took only the remaining part of the chain, and the handcuff ring was returned to Ian, which made Ian despise Smoker very much. On the contrary, I had to wait until I came to the East China Sea before I remembered to inlay my weapon with a sea building stone?
While waiting for Karp's return, Ian also began his job, training the Navy soldiers of Rogue for Smoker.
When he was originally in the Yixin Dojo in Frost Moon Village, as a senior brother, he had already supervised those junior disciples to practice swords, so this job was quite suitable for him, and he was familiar with it.
And more importantly, the naval soldiers in Rogue Town witnessed Ian's battle in the square, and they were in awe of Ian, and when Ian served as their swordsmanship instructor, they practiced very hard one by one, making Ian very easy to teach.
This kind of teaching is actually nothing, just correcting some basic movements, and also explaining some points that need to be paid attention to when fighting.
To Ian's surprise, Dusty actually learned from Ian, although she still had some concerns about Ian killing so many pirates, but when she practiced, she was more serious than everyone else, and often asked Ian about some swordsmanship.
At this time, Ian couldn't help but see the shadow of Guina in her, so although she knew that Dusty and Guina were the two, Ian still tried her best to answer for her.
This made the relationship between the two ease a little.
Left and right, half a month passed quickly, but he never saw Karp return, he originally thought that Karp was taking the opportunity to go to the windmill village to see Luffy, but when Ian waited impatiently and ran to ask Smoker, he was surprised to learn that Lieutenant General Karp had received an order from the headquarters, and after inspecting the town of Shelds, he went back directly from the windless belt! Not going back to Rogue at all! Now Ace's letter doesn't know how to be forwarded.
Smoker was surprised that Ian knew Karp, but he didn't ask much, and after the funds were finally approved, he directly gave the bounty to Ian, a total of 24 million Bailey.
And Ian himself sold Creek's diamond gloves to the jewelers in the town, but only for more than 3 million Baileys, so that Ian had 27 million in his hands!
This is the most money Ian has ever gotten.
Just as he was thinking about how to spend the money, a newly docked cruise ship brought a letter to Ian.
As soon as Ian looked at the handwriting, he knew that it was a letter from Master Koshiro, who had just sent a letter to Koshiro a few days ago, and he didn't expect the reply to arrive so quickly.
Opening the letter, Ian read it slowly.
"To my apprentice Ian: Ian, see Shinka! The letter you sent has been received, the dojo is very good, and I am also very good, Zoro and Guina are also the same, we all know what has happened recently, even the frost moon village is spreading the news that you killed Creek these days, which makes me very relieved, it seems that after going to sea, you have gone further on the path of the sword, after hearing your news, the kid Zoro also wanted to go to sea, but just like you at the time, he was stopped by me, he is in a very bad mood now, probably thinking about making time jump to 18 years old, haha! ”
"You said in your letter that you are going to the Great Voyage, and I am not going to stop you, but you must be safe, and I have something to tell you!"
The letter was very long, and when Ian saw the front, he couldn't help but smile, and then turned the page and continued reading.
"I never mentioned your background to you, I just told you that you are an adopted son, and nothing else. When you went to sea, I also hesitated to tell you your true background, but at that time, you had already left. ”
"I don't know if it's appropriate to tell you, but now it seems that your strength has grown a lot, so I still plan to tell you as it is."
"Your hometown is not actually in the East China Sea, but in the West Sea, and Guina's mother and I picked up your ...... near a small island in the West Sea at that time."
Seeing this, Ian's brows furrowed, he wasn't from the East China Sea? Or, the original owner of this body is not from the East China Sea?
