Chapter Seventy-Two: Failure to Pull People (2-in-1 Chapter)

In the Dragon Paradise, the battle between the Navy and the Dragon Pirates is raging.

Someone on both sides was injured by each other, which was inevitable in the battle, but in general, the advantage of the navy was huge, they were more numerous, and once there were wounded people, other naval soldiers would cover up and let the injured withdraw, but on the other hand, on the pirate side, under the bombardment of the warship cannons, there were already many fishmen who were hit by cannonballs and died of serious injuries.

The sailors were aware of this, and if they were a little afraid before the battle, now that they had the upper hand, the morale of the sailors naturally increased, and they now treated the battle as if it were a real combat exercise.

Ian saw such a scene next to the warship, which made him feel a lot more relieved, as long as no one died on the navy's side, as for the injury, hehe! That's a small thing, don't forget, Ian has the Shelley card, even if he is injured, he can treat these soldiers, which is why he promised Smoker that he would bring the Navy soldiers back intact.

However, it had been a while since Ian came to the warship, and he was supposed to guard against Mu Mou's attack, but he didn't come.

"! Aaron, this guy can't be fooling me, is he? Walk me to the warship, so that he can take the opportunity to escape? Ian thought so, but then shook his head, thinking that this was unlikely, Aaron cherished his fellow fishmen, and believed that fishmen were the best race, and it was impossible for him to leave his compatriots and run away alone.

So, Ian didn't care, Mu Mu didn't come, he just continued to attack Ah Long, so he shouted to the naval soldiers on the ship: "A few cannons come to the pool!" ”

"Yes! Instructor! When the naval soldier in charge of shooting heard this, he immediately saluted Ian under the ship, then turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed it out.

With a whistling sound, the cannonballs fell into the water, and with a bang they exploded high waves.

The shock wave of the explosion spread to the water, making Ah Long hiding in the pool uncomfortable, he didn't expect Ian to let the navy bombard him with artillery, this kind of repeated provocation made Ah Long more and more angry, he originally wanted to take it easy, wait for Mu Mu to get the warship, look at these navy's terrifying expressions, but now Mu Mou has not appeared, Ah Long doesn't know what happened to Xiao Ba, so he simply came out of the water.

At this time, just as a cannonball hit the pool again, Ah Long suddenly grew his mouth suddenly, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth, and caught the cannonball with his mouth at once!

The round cannonball was bitten in Ah Long's mouth, and as soon as his jaws were forced, he was suddenly bitten and exploded!

With a bang, Ah Long's mouth exploded, but when the smoke cleared, Ah Long opened his mouth and spat out a puff of smoke like a nobody.

This scene of biting and bombing an artillery shell was seen by many naval soldiers, and they were immediately frightened stupid!

Aaron laughed loudly and said, "See, stupid human! The biggest difference between me and you is race! In this world full of seas, only we Fish-People are the natural rulers! ”

He jumped out of the water onto the shore and rushed towards Dusty.

"Not good!" Yi Anxin was startled, and quickly ran towards Dusty's location.

It's a good thing that Aaron doesn't hide in the water anymore, but he chose to attack the navy soldiers when Ian was far away from him, and the first target was Dusty, Ian knew that Dusty was not Aaron's opponent now, so he had to save her.

Seeing Aaron pounce on, Dasty was not slow to react, and immediately swung his knife at him, but Aaron did not dodge or dodge, his neck suddenly stretched, and he bit on the sword that Dasty slashed!

With a "bang", Dusty's sword was bitten and shattered in Aaron's mouth, and the strength of Aaron's jaws was beyond Dusty's imagination, and even the steel was bitten to pieces.

Although Dusty was not holding a good weapon now, as soon as the sword shattered, she was useless, and at the same time, due to the fright, she fell to the ground.

But Aaron didn't hesitate at all, and opened his mouth again to bite Dusty's shoulder.

Brush! Blood splashed everywhere, but Dusty didn't dodge, but only raised his hand to block, causing Aaron to bite her left wrist, and suddenly Dusty screamed in pain.

But this girl is also ruthless, after coming back to her senses, the first thing is not to pull her wrist, if she pulls her wrist at this time, she may tear her wrist off, but she is still holding the residual hilt of the sword in her right hand, and smashes it on Ah Long's eyes!

As soon as Ah Long was in pain, he immediately let go of his mouth, and Dusty smashed the corners of his eyes and blood flowed out.

"You're ......!" Aaron was so annoyed that he was beaten like this by a woman, and he didn't show mercy at the moment, and opened his mouth to bite Dusty's throat!

"Sergeant Dusty!!" The sailors who saw this scene screamed in horror, if they were bitten in the throat by this mouth, Dusty would be dead, but they were a little far away from Dusty and could not save her.

Dusty seemed to see his death coming, and couldn't help but close his eyes.

However, at this moment, a long knife suddenly stretched out from the side, blocking Aaron's sharp teeth and saving Dusty's life!

"How can you close your eyes when you see your opponent attacking?" A voice rang in Dusty's ears, "I don't remember teaching you that!" ”

When he opened his eyes, Dusty saw the picture of Ian holding a knife in both hands, against Aaron's bloody mouth, and for a while he only felt a mixture of joy and sorrow.

"Damn it!" Ah Long didn't expect Ian to run so fast, seeing Ian's knife blocking his mouth, his heart was fierce, and he wanted to bite down on Ian's knife, he wanted to bite Ian's knife off, just like he had bitten Dusty's sword just now.

But how could Ian possibly give him this chance? In the next second, Ian's sword burst into flames, and then jerked back!

The principle of the Evil King Flame Killing Sword is to condense the flames around the blade to form a sharper flame blade, and Ian's drawing of the knife is equivalent to cutting a knife in Ah Long's mouth, which made Ah Long suddenly scream.

His upper jaw and lower jaw were cut by this knife at the same time, Aaron can bite the cannonball, it doesn't mean that he can bite the flames, the pain came, so that Aaron lost his mind a little, he stretched out his hand, pulled out the teeth in his mouth and held it on his hand, and then a new pair of teeth soon grew in his mouth, Aaron is a serrated shark man, the teeth in his mouth can be infinitely regenerated, and he pulled it out again, so that he has sharp teeth in both hands, and then he held two pairs of shark teeth in his hands and attacked Ian.

Ian waved the long knife, constantly blocking his attacks, the teeth in Aaron's hand collided with the long knife, making a bell-bell sound, Aaron originally wanted to use these two sets of teeth to clamp Ian's weapon, and then crush it violently, but Ian didn't give him a chance at all, whenever he was about to be clamped on the blade, he would flip his wrist to unload, and it was used very cleverly.

Those naval soldiers who followed Ian to learn swordsmanship, at this time finally saw the swordsmanship of Ian, the instructor, yes, as he said, all the movements are just basic movements, but when used in actual combat, they are handy, the rotation of the wrist and the swing of the weapon are perfectly matched, there are no gorgeous sword moves, but it makes Ah Long's attacks all useless.

After the two fought back and forth dozens of times, Aaron also found that his tricks couldn't help Ian, so he suddenly changed his tricks and stabbed at Ian with his pointed serrated nose.

However, this move was still a little slower for Ian, who was preoccupied with the battle, and Ian dodged his attack, and then suddenly grabbed Aaron's nose with a free hand, although Aaron's sharp nose cut his hand bloody, but Ian didn't care about the pain, and clenched it hard!

The scorching flames burst out of the fist that held Ah Long's nose, and Ian frantically output his mental energy, and the flame of the Evil King Flame Killing Fist suddenly began to rise in temperature, and the color of the flame gradually turned blue, and then began to change to white.

Aaron finally screamed in pain, although Ian only pinched half of the tip of his nose, but Aaron felt that even his bones were about to melt in the position he was holding!

By the time Ian finally let go of his hand, half of Aaron's nose was gone, and only a mess of charred black remained in the front of his nose.

To defeat a person is actually very simple, just seize an opportunity is enough, Ian melted Ah Long's nose with flames, inflicting heavy damage on him, and then took advantage of Ah Long's loss of resistance power, he successively beat Ah Long's body with the evil king flame killing fist, and the flames attached to the fist began to burn all over Ah Long's body.

Ah Long rolled desperately on the ground in pain, against an opponent like Ian who used flames, he was really unlucky, and the proud long nose was directly half gone, and his nose was not like teeth that could be regenerated, that is to say, Ah Long could only live with half of his nose for the rest of his life.

Seeing their leader rolling on the ground like a ball of fire, the fish people of the Evil Dragon Pirates also lost the mentality of continuing to resist, and stared blankly at Ah Long, listening to his screams.

For every pirate group, their own leader is their pride, in the eyes of the pirates, their own leader is invincible, and now seeing Aaron's tragic situation, the fish-man pirates have a feeling of idol collapse when they land.

This made it easier for the Navy soldiers to pack them up.

Aaron eventually rolled into the pool and extinguished the flames, and Ian walked over and dragged him out of the water, only to find the guy dying, charred and in a state of extensive burns.

Seeing Ah Long like this, Ian also knew that he couldn't resist anymore, the battle was over, and he wanted to understand this guy with a knife, but now Ian looked at him and couldn't do it.

Dusty also stared at Ian tightly, for fear that Ian would slaughter Aaron with a knife, the scene in the Rogue Town Square, Dusty still remembered, and after seeing Ian dragging Aaron over, she could be regarded as a sigh of relief, maybe because of his good nature, even if he knew that Aaron was a notorious pirate, Dusty still couldn't bear to see someone die in front of him.

"Over to you!" Ian threw Aaron to Dusty's side: "Let him be in prison for the rest of his life!" ”

"Don't worry, he'll be judged for his crimes!" Dusty said.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded and shouted, "Kill him!" ”

Ian looked in the direction of the voice, and suddenly his eyes lit up, it turned out to be Nami!? He was still wondering why he came to the Dragon Paradise, but he didn't see the key person, but he didn't expect to jump out now.

The one who made the sound,Naturally, it was Nami with the iconic short orange hair,When she rushed to the Dragon Paradise,What she saw was the scene where the dragon was burned by Ian's flames,After seeing Aaron's tragic situation,She only felt indescribably happy,She was just hiding and watching,But when she saw Ian hand over Aaron to the navy,She couldn't help but jump out。

With a stick in her hand and tears on her face, she yelled at Ian and Dusty, "Kill him! Do you know what the hell he did!? Why let him live? ”

Dusty and the sailors looked at Nami in a daze, wondering who the girl who suddenly appeared was and why she hated Aaron so much.

And the fish-man pirates of the Evil Dragon Pirates are looking at Nami through gritted teeth.

Only Ian knew why, so he couldn't help but sigh.

Dusty said with a straight face: "Whether to kill him or not, it's not up to you to decide, our navy let him stay in prison......"

Before he finished speaking, Ian suddenly stretched out his hand, stopped Dusty's words, bent down and twisted Aaron, threw Aaron forward, and said to Nami: "If you want to kill him, you can do it yourself!" ”

His mother was killed in front of him, and Ian knew the pain in Nami's heart, so he planned to give Nami a chance to take revenge, but Dusty didn't understand Ian's approach, and stood up to stop it, but was pulled by Ian.

With tears on her face, Nami walked up to the dying Aaron and raised the stick in her hand high and aimed it at Aaron's head.

However, for some reason, the opportunity for revenge is in front of her, but Nami finds herself unable to do it.

She dropped her stick suddenly, sat on the ground, hugged her knees, and wept bitterly.

Ian smiled slightly, and found that Nami was really still that Nami, although her hatred for Aaron made her want revenge all the time, but she was not completely blinded by hatred, and her nature was also kind.

Whether this result was good or bad, Ian didn't know, he couldn't guess what Nami was thinking, he didn't bother Nami who was crying, he just secretly observed.

To be honest, there is a big difference between Nami and Ian's impressions at this time, because Nami is only 15 years old at this time! She was just a little girl who was just beginning to develop, and she couldn't see that kind of choppy figure at all, and she still looked very young, which made Ian slightly disappointed, and felt that her eyes were gone.

Seeing that Nami didn't have a hand, Dusty breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to tie up Aaron.

Ian, on the other hand, walked over to Nami and crouched down and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Although he knew Nami's name, he couldn't have called it out like that, otherwise Dusty and the others might find it strange.

Nami sobbed and replied to Ian without looking up, "My name is Nami." ”

Ian pondered his words and said, "I don't know what kind of enmity you have with Ah Long, but now that he has been arrested, you can rest assured, do you have any plans in the future?" ”

"I'm going back to Cocosia Village!" Nami finally raised her head, wiped the tears from her eyes, smiled on her face, and said, "I'm going to tell everyone the good news!" Aaron has been caught, and our nightmare is over! ”

Tut! When Ian heard this answer, he only felt a heart-scratching feeling in his heart, this was not the answer he wanted!

He actually wanted to ask Nami directly if she would like to go with him, but it was difficult to ask.

That's right, Ian came to trouble the Dragon Pirates, in addition to Aaron's bounty, but also for Nami, after talking to Johnny Joseph, Ian felt that he needed some partners, so the most worthy person to be a partner in the East China Sea, Nami is the best one, not only will she transform into a big beauty in the future, not to mention, she is also a genius navigator, where can you find such talents elsewhere?

So, even though he knew that Nami was Luffy's partner, Ian still planned to give it a try.

Seriously, Ian has also figured it out, people don't kill for themselves, since he came to this world inexplicably, he naturally has to think about himself, he has become one of the participants in this world, not a bystander, it is impossible to say that because Nami will become Luffy's partner in the future, he deliberately avoided it, right?

However, the tentative inquiry did not get the result that Ian wanted, and just as Ian hesitated how to continue answering, Nami smiled at him and said, "You are the pirate hunter Ian, right?" I've heard your name, and you're here! ”

"You know I'm coming?" Ian asked, somewhat surprised.

"Well, when I heard that you defeated the Bucky Pirates and the Creek Pirates in a row, I knew you probably wouldn't let the Dragon Pirates go!" Nami said with a charming smile on her face, "Now that you're really here, I'm not wrong!" Thank you! ”

Ian slapped his head suddenly, he had felt that something was wrong before, and now when Nami said this, he suddenly came back to his senses!

How to play! Damn, the way of appearance is wrong!

The reason why Nami became Luffy's partner was because he met Nami halfway through, and then defeated Aaron together, but Ian was different, he appeared in a heroic, or savior-like way, and this way of appearing sideways narrowed the distance between him and Nami, but he didn't have the sense of identity of a partner!

Ian suddenly felt as if his plan had failed...... There was a sense of deflatment.

But he was still unwilling to give up easily, gritted his teeth, and said directly: "I am preparing to go on an adventure on the Great Voyage, but I lack a partner, are you willing to go with me?" ”

Nami was a little strange and asked, "Why did you think of inviting me?" ”

Of course, Ian couldn't have said, I knew you were a genius navigator, that's why I invited you, it would be weird to say that, if Nami asked "How do you know?" Ian may not be able to answer.

Nami is different from Ace, Ace is a man, and it is easy to reach trust between men and men, but women are very sensitive to lies, and Ian can't fool Nami with the trick Ace.

So Ian could only say with a cheeky old face: "Because I think...... You're the type I like......"

As soon as he said this, even Ian himself felt blushing, and felt that he had really fought hard to kidnap Nami......

After Nami heard his words, she was stunned for a moment, but in the next second, she grabbed Ian's head and twisted it around, and said fiercely to Ian: "Are you a pervert?" I'm just a 15-year-old girl, alas! You can say such embarrassing things in front of me!? ”

Ian also knew that with Nami's personality, it was impossible to make that kind of shy expression, but he never thought that he would be scolded by Nami as a pervert, and he didn't care about his identity as a hero and benefactor, and he would screw himself when he caught him! This made Ian sad and inexplicable for a while.

In fact, Ian didn't know that Nami's heart was still a little excited at this time, not because Ian said she liked her or anything, but because she thought of her dream!

Nami's dream is to one day be able to draw charts all over the world, and to complete such a dream, it must be to go to sea, so after hearing Ian's invitation, she was still very moved, but for a while, she couldn't let go of her sister Nokigao and everyone in Cocosia Village, so she didn't agree immediately, but hesitated in her heart.

However, at this time, a naval soldier in charge of searching Aaron's stronghold ran back to report to Dusty, saying, "Sergeant Dusty, the safe of the Dragon Pirates has been found in the stronghold, and it has been opened, and there are about more than 20 million Bailey's money in it, please instruct what to do with it!" ”

Ian was still immersed in grief and indignation, but when he heard this, he immediately jumped up and said, "My !! ”

His idea is very simple, Ah Long was defeated and caught by himself, so Ah Long's money should be regarded as his own spoils.

But when Ian just shouted and Dusty hadn't even spoken, Nami also stood up and shouted at Ian, "What do you call yours!?" That's the stolen goods that Aaron has extorted from many of our villages! ”

Ian quit, listening to Nami, she wants to get the money back and return it to the villagers? What are you kidding, more than 20 million, which is higher than Aaron's bounty, with such a sum of money in front of you, you want to make Ian give up?

"No! That's my booty! Ian said to Nami.

"What loot!?" Nami didn't show weakness either: "It's obviously stolen goods, and this is to be returned to the owner!" ”

The two quarreled for a while, Dusty couldn't interject when he wanted to speak, and the sailors also looked at Ian in amazement, only thinking that their instructor was really rich enough.

After arguing for a while, Nami finally got angry, and suddenly crossed her waist and said to Ian, "Originally, I was a little tempted to go with you, but now I regret it!" ”

Ian was stunned: "You...... What did you just say? ”

Nami snorted, "Didn't I say it clearly enough? I regretted not going with you! ”

"Why? Just for this little thing? Ian spread his hands and said very innocently: "This matter is easy to discuss, let's discuss it, leave some for me, and you can take the rest and return it to the people in the village?" ”

However, Nami still shook her head and said to Ian: "I have thought about it, we may not be able to get along, and when the time comes, can you hand over the money to me?" ”

Ian immediately hesitated, how could this be possible? What is he desperately trying to catch pirates for making money? He himself doesn't have enough money, how can he hand it over to others?

Seeing Ian's hesitant expression, Nami also understood, so she sighed, stepped forward, held Ian's face, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and said, "Thank you for the invitation, but forget it, kiss you as a thank you!" I'll remember you. ”

Ian wants to cry without tears, I don't want such a thank you at all, okay?

He didn't expect that Nami was a little tempted to go with him just now, and thought that she wanted to be with her relatives, after all, it is understandable that a 15-year-old girl is still attached to her family, how do you know that after a quarrel, he learned that Nami actually has an idea.

Therefore, it is really difficult to guess a woman's mind......

It's all said and done, it's impossible to invite Nami, and after this incident, Ian also found that he was thinking too simply, the personalities between him and Luffy are different, it is impossible to repeat Luffy's path of collecting partners, and even if it is a partner, there is also a question of personality compatibility, Nami, like herself, is also a person who likes to be in charge of money in her hands, and only Luffy's nervous guy will not mind Nami's character, for himself, Nami is even a genius navigator, It doesn't have to be a good partner.

In this way, Ian also gave up the idea of finding other people, he originally wanted to try his luck at the sea restaurant Barati to see if he could pull Shanji into the gang, but now that he looks at it this way, it is impossible to pull Shanzhi, Sanji's kind of color ~ squinting guy, how can he get on the boat with a big man of his own to do the foundation?
