Chapter 482: Amazing News
Regardless of Ian's thoughts, whether they wanted to split their troops into two routes, they had to get to St. Poplar first, because only when they got there could they get new ships.
So they set off again, but this time, Ian asked Robin to sew a flag of the Dragon Hunter Pirates and hang it on the ship's mast.
There is no way, since he is going to dock and reach the island, Ian can only use this method to deter those pirates, otherwise, after the Ark Proverbs land in the Holy Poplar, everyone will see this ship made of gold, and there will be endless pirates at that time, desperately fighting Ian their ideas, if they don't hang the flag, then just dealing with those pirates will be enough for Ian to have a headache.
And Ian estimates that it won't be of much use if he doesn't hang out the flag, the identity of the Seven Martial Seas may be able to deter some pirates, but in the same way, there will be many pirates who want to be famous and go crazy, and they will come to challenge him with the idea of stepping on Ian's position, this thing is not new, Klockdahl said at the beginning, he doesn't know how many such pirates he has killed.
Guys who don't think about themselves, this world is full of ......
After two days at sea, the ship finally saw the island of St. Poplar in the distance.
From a distance, the island looks like an island completely covered with forests, and the whole island seems to be shrouded in a green cover.
When he got closer, Ian found that the island was full of tall and huge trees, and he didn't know how long it had grown, so it was no wonder that it became an important source of timber raw materials, and the forestry resources here were too rich.
In the direction of the port, the trees are still relatively short, the deeper you go into the island, the more huge the trees you see, and after landing on the island, Ian found that there are no modern cities on the whole island except for the port, and the people here live in tree houses, and they do not open up town land, but just in the woods, some buildings are left behind, so as to make it a town.
The entire island is inhabited by lumberjacks for generations, and after obtaining approval, they will cut down the mature trees, then make them into timber, and transport them, and after cutting down a tree, they will plant more saplings in the same place to ensure that such deforestation does not destroy the resources of the entire island.
Perhaps because they had seen too many ships made of wood, when Ian's Ark Proverbs docked, the people of the whole island were in a stir, not only did they see a ship made of metal for the first time, but more importantly, the metal that made up the ship was actually gold!
Although they had recognized the flag hanging on the ark, and people knew that a Seven Martial Sea had come to the island, they couldn't help but look at the ark and point at the ship in amazement.
"There are so many ants!" Anilu tilted his head and clubbed his golden stick, standing on the deck of the ship and looking at the crowd below.
Ian also noticed that there were a lot of pirate-looking people here, with greedy eyes in their eyes, watching the Ark Proverbs in the crowd, and whispering something to the people around them, without thinking about it, knowing what they were thinking, no wonder Anilu would come up with such a sentence.
"Anilu, you stay on board!" Ian also glanced coldly at the pirates below, and said to Anilu: "If any ants that don't open their eyes dare to climb up, then crush them!" ”
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" With an excited smile on his face, Anilu clenched his fist and snapped, and a ball of thunder exploded.
"Leijiu, Robin, put this on!" Ian threw two sunglasses at the two of them, which they had previously found from the pirate ships that had been killed by Anilu, and Ian asked them to put on their sunglasses before leading them off the ship.
As Ian and the others stepped off the boat, the onlookers quickly dodged a path.
"It's really Black Dragon Ian!"
"How did this lord come to Holy Poplar?"
The people exchanged in amazement, but no one dared to stand in Ian's way, and wherever they passed, the beings retreated.
Ian and the others boarded St. Poplar Island to inquire about the flight time and route of the sea train, but as soon as he appeared on St. Poplar Island so publicly, the news soon spread all over the place.
This is not only because of the phone bugs, but also because of the fact that St. Poplar and the surrounding islands are indeed well connected.
At the naval headquarters Marin Fando, a major communications officer ran to the office of the Sengoku Marshal out of breath, and after coming to the door, he tidied up and knocked on the office door, and only after hearing the voice of Sengoku "coming in" from inside, the communications officer pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered, he immediately stomped his feet and stood upright, saluted the Warring States, and then said, "Report to the Marshal of the Warring States!" The latest news I just received, the black dragon Ian of the Seven Martial Seas has appeared on the Holy Poplar Island! ”
"Huh!?" Sengoku was stunned for a moment, and he, who was reviewing the documents, raised his head and asked suspiciously, "How could he appear where he is!?" ”
"I don't know!" The Major's communications officer said with some shame: "He suddenly disappeared for more than a week, and we don't know how he ended up on that route......"
The navy's surveillance of Ian is actually not surprising, as early as after Ian and Ace fled in Dressrosa, and Flamengo fled in the wilderness, Sengoku made the decision to monitor Ian's operation.
Originally, because of the limited manpower of the navy, the surveillance actions of the sea pirates were generally only aimed at the Four Emperors, and the Seven Martial Seas were on the side of the world government, and most of the members of the Seven Martial Seas were nested in their own territory, such as the original Doflamingo, or Boya Han Cook, etc., they all had their own territories, and the navy was not worried about where they would go.
However, Ian is definitely an exception!
Originally, after Ian got the territory of Travilla Island, the navy thought that he would run his own territory, but who knew that Ian had abandoned his own territory and ran around the world, and he ran around, and the navy had not seen the Seven Martial Seas running around, such as Hawkeye Mihawk, who was a loner, but the problem was that Ian's running was different from Mihawk!
He ran to Dressrosa, and Doflamingo's affairs were exposed, forcing the Navy and the World Government to take Doflamingo's position in the Seven Martial Seas.
Then, Ian didn't stop, and even ran away with Ace to Alabastan!
Nominally, they were going to hunt down Blackbeard Teach, but who knew that not long after they got there, Klockdahl also fell!
Although it seems that the person who shot at Klockdal was not Ian, if Ian had nothing to do with this, he wouldn't believe it if Sengoku was killed!
At such a critical moment, two Seven Martial Seas were deprived of their titles one after another, and the Warring States can be said to be in a hurry, the Seven Martial Seas are an important combat force of the Navy, but when the Warring States were already preparing to make a move against the Whitebeard Pirates, two fell one after another, and now the positions of these two Seven Martial Seas are still vacant, and no one has been found to replace them.
Therefore, Sengoku is really afraid of Ian, even if he knows that the people of the Whitebeard Pirates have taken Blackbeard Tiki away, Sengoku still does not dare to relax the monitoring of Ian's whereabouts.
Of course, this kind of surveillance must be confidential, and it is a distant tracking, and it is impossible for Ian to find out, but because of this kind of surveillance, he lost Ian and made Ian lose his trace for a week.
For a week, Sengoku's heart hung in the air, because according to Ian's original route, Sengoku guessed that he might reach Moonlight Moria's territory...... If something happens and even Moonlight Moria is implicated, then Sengoku really wants to hit the wall......
As a result, now Ian finally appeared, but the route suddenly changed, and the surprise was surprised, which still made Sengoku breathe a sigh of relief.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the Major's communications officer reported with some trepidation: "But...... But...... Marshal of the Warring States, there is another problem, it is more serious......"
"What's the problem?" When Sengoku heard this, his heart suddenly hung up.
"The red-haired pirates who suddenly turned around and left some time ago...... Their destination seems to be the Holy Poplar as well...... Moreover, at this point in time, I'm afraid it's almost there......" The Major Communications Officer said helplessly: "If Black Dragon Ian doesn't leave St. Poplar Island as soon as possible, then they will soon encounter the red-haired pirates!" ”
"What...... What the!? When Sengoku heard the news, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but sit up from his chair all at once.
