A day later, on the vast sea, a ship was moving.

This is a medium-sized sloop with a black pirate flag hanging at the top of the mast, the pirate flag is a spade pattern in a playing card as the base map, and the spade frame is drawn with a skeleton, and the skeleton is wearing a hat that is exactly the same as Ace.

That's right, this is the pirate flag of Ace's Spade Pirates.

On the ship, Ian was expecting him to sit on the deck, arms clasped together, looking at Ace crouching in front of him with disdain.

Ace, on the other hand, smiled and didn't mind Ian's gaze, and said, "You just agree!" Good no good? ”

Ian raised his palm and said, "Stop!" Stop me, don't say such misleading things! Do you know that someone is already calling you the heroine Ace!? ”

What's going on? It all started after yesterday's firefighting.

Ian was out of strength at the time, so he could only carry Ace on his back, and he didn't mind, thinking that Ace was just taking him to escape from the fire site, however, what Ian never expected was that Ace finally ran all the way to the port!

He didn't know where he got such a medium-sized ship to use as his pirate ship, and when he arrived at the port, he threw Ian onto the ship and gave the order to set sail!

Ian was stunned, and only after the ship had sailed out of the harbor did he come to his senses and quickly asked Ace what he wanted to do.

As a result, Ace told him very bluntly that he wanted Ian to be his co-captain!

Ian had a feeling of beeping a dog at that time, he was kidnapped by Ace without saying a word!

However, Ian was in a period of weakness, and he did not even have the strength to jump back to Bibiko Island, so he could only watch the boat go farther and farther.

And for the rest of the time, Ace persevered in pestering Ian, insisting that he agree to come down and become the deputy captain.

The current Spade Pirates, including Ace, are only seven people, and the remaining six members are those who have been following Ace, they witnessed Ian slashing through the warehouse building with a knife, and they were shocked by Ian, so when they heard that Ace wanted Ian to join the gang as the deputy captain, it can be said that everyone in the Spades Pirates raised their hands in favor.

Ian was not angry, Ace, this guy, didn't even ask himself, he brought himself on the boat, he originally wanted to stay on Bibiko Island for two more days, after all, Bill and they were still on the island, Roland Gale died and didn't say a word to him, many things have not been resolved, and he was pulled out to sea by Ace.

Now, when Ian is out of the weak period, the ship is already on the vast sea, where can I find my way back to Bibiko Island?

Ace sometimes looks silly and funny like Luffy, but in fact, he is also very smart, and he actually used this method to force Ian to follow his ship.

This is really a "thief ship"!

So right now, Ian is angry with Ace! How could it be possible to accede to his request?

"Captain Ace, Boss Ian, it's time for breakfast!" At this time, one of the members of the Spades Pirates, Jimmy, who was the cook on the ship, brought two plates of food to the two.

Now the members of the Spades Pirates on the ship, calling Ace the captain and Ian the boss, seem to have tacitly assumed that Ian is the vice captain of the ship.

This made Ian very helpless, so he simply didn't talk and started eating the food.

Don't say it, Chef Jimmy's skills are really good, and Ian can figure out why Ace would have partnered with these crew members.

Ace was also eating at this time, and his cheeks were bulging, and he said while eating: "You are not a good friend, why don't you want to be my negative (deputy) captain?" ”

Ian looked at him with a black line and said, "Don't talk while eating!" ”

"Oh! I'm sorry! Ace politely bowed his head and apologized.

So the two of them ate silently, and when they finished eating, Ian threw away the tableware, and then said to Ace: "It's not that I can't be your deputy captain, but I can't be a pirate, and if I have the identity of a pirate, it is inconvenient for me to act in many things!" ”

Yes, in fact, for Ian, whether it is a pirate, a navy, or a pirate hunter, it doesn't matter to him, because he knows very well that with his own personality, even if he becomes a pirate, he will not be the kind of vicious pirate, and similarly, when he becomes a navy, he will not become a scum like Colonel Mouse, as long as he can keep his heart, everything is the same.

In game terms, Ian is actually neutral and orderly.

But when it doesn't matter what, it also depends on the situation, for him, at this stage, he must find a way to make money, when he is in the navy, the backer is big enough, but he may not be able to make money, because it seems that the navy is the duty and obligation to catch pirates, and those who can't get a bounty can only get merit and promote their rank, and pirates are even more so, Ian doesn't want to become a bad pirate who robs his house, but if he just takes risks to find treasure, it's really unreliable, if anyone can easily find treasure, there may be no pirates in this world.

Speaking of which, the identity of a pirate hunter cannot be lost for the time being, and there may be changes in the future, but it is certainly not now.

Ian was quite pleased with Ace's request, and he knew that if he didn't really regard himself as a friend and partner, Ace would not have been able to make such an invitation.

But just like Ian asked Ace not to be a pirate at the beginning, Ace couldn't agree, and now it's the same, Ian also can't agree to Ace being a pirate.

Therefore, Ian explained his situation to Ace in detail, and told him why he couldn't be a pirate.

After listening to Ian's words, Ace finally didn't force it.

However, Chef Jimmy, who had been listening to the side, suddenly said, "Boss Ian, you're not a pirate, you're just here to make money, right?" However, if you can become the Seven Martial Seas, wouldn't it be the same? ”

Ian looked at Jimmy dumbfounded.

it! That makes sense!

Ian really didn't think of this before, he just thought, you must not become a pirate, otherwise you won't be able to go to the navy to receive the bounty at that time, but he never thought that if he can become a member of the Seven Martial Seas, it is actually the same as being a pirate hunter, because the Seven Martial Seas were originally the government's means of balancing the pirates, and the pirates caught by the Seven Martial Seas can also be used to receive the bounty, which is recognized by the government.

Of course, if you want to become the Seven Martial Seas, the premise is to be able to defeat one of the Seven Martial Seas, Ian doesn't know how his current strength compares to the Seven Martial Seas, and they are both the Seven Martial Seas, and it seems that the strength is also high and low, with the strength of Hawkeye Mihawk, he can have a tie with the Shanks of the Four Emperors, if he is used as a comparison, Ian is not qualified now.

So although Jimmy's statement makes sense, Ian still doesn't plan to think about it for the time being.

Now that he is already on Ace's ship, he simply follows Ace's ship first, anyway, if he is alone, he can't sail, and Ace has been delayed for so long on Bibiko Island because of the recruitment of partners, and his record pointer has long been filled with magnetic gas, which can point to the next island, and if you follow him, you can go to the next island smoothly.

Ian asked, hearing from Jimmy that it might take about seven days to reach the next island.

Such a long time can't be wasted, so Ian said to Ace, "Let's fight!" ”

This is actually something that Ian has thought of doing for a long time, Ace has already eaten the Burning Fruit, and belongs to the kind of character who is about to improve his skills by leaps and bounds, while he is not yet fully familiar with the ability of the Burning Fruit, Ian plans to use him as an opponent to level up!

As long as he can defeat him, Ian can get a lot of experience points, which is much stronger than leveling up with Sauron when he was in Frostmoon Village.

And fighting with Ace, there is another advantage, that is, to accumulate experience in fighting with natural devil fruit abilities in advance, when he was in Rogue Town, although Ian also moved with Smoker twice, but Smoker's fruit ability lacks aggression and is more inclined to control ability, which is completely different from Ace's burnt fruit.

Ian knows that this kind of thing is innate to everyone, so he must also have the potential to be domineering, but he hasn't developed it, and what he uses right now is all telekinesis, and if he fights with a natural ability like Ace, he can also have a good experience to see what kind of difference there is between telekinesis and domineering.

At the same time, it can also be used in this way to familiarize Ace with his ability to burn fruits as soon as possible......

After hearing Ian's proposal, Eston was also excited, the fight he fought with Ian in Rogue Town, in fact, neither of them was serious, and now looking at Ian's serious expression, Ace knew that this time he was going to move seriously.

"Come on!" Ace clenched his right hand into a fist in front of his chest, and the five fingers of his left hand were spread out, and a raging flame appeared on his fingers, putting on his signature stance......
