Smoker likes to smoke cigars when he's in a bad mood, which has always been his problem, and it's clear that he's not in a good mood right now.

It was true that he had come to Alabastan after the Straw Hat Pirates, but he had never imagined that he would meet Ian here.

There's no way, I feel so embarrassed, Ian is now a Seven Martial Seas, and his status is only below the admiral, but he Smoker is still a colonel and has never moved his position, although Smoker doesn't have much sense of military rank, but anyway, Ian, who was still a swordsmanship instructor under him, is now the object he needs to look up to, and anyone will feel tired after meeting, right?

If you want to say that the person Smoker doesn't want to see the most now, it has to be Ian, but Nima met it here......

However, Smoker is still very wary of Ian's appearance in Alabastan, he has mentioned Ian's danger in a report to the Navy Headquarters a long time ago, but no one in the Navy Headquarters has ever paid attention to it, so that Ian made a big fuss about Mary Joy, making the entire world government lose face.

Smoker has always felt that Ian is a troublemaker, and wherever he appears, something may happen, so when he sees Ian here, he naturally has to be vigilant.

Facing Smoker's questioning, Ian shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "How can there be an old friend like you?" Aggressive appearance as soon as they meet. ”

After saying that, Ian ignored him, stretched out his hand and waved at Dusty, "Yo, Dusty! Long time no see! ”

"Good...... Long time no see! Dusty nervously clenched the knife in her hand and stammered in Ian's reply.

"Next to you, is that your sister?" Ignorantly, Ignorant pointed at Guina and asked Dusty.

"No...... No! Dusty hurriedly waved his hand and said, "She's Major Guina, we just look alike!" ”

And Guina was also very cooperative, snorting coldly at Ian......

The two brothers and sisters knew each other, but they pretended not to see each other at all, Smoker and Dusty were blindfolded, or rather, they didn't think about it at all, seeing Ian greeting his subordinates and ignoring himself at all, Smoker said impatiently: "Ian, don't think that you have become the Seven Martial Seas now, I will forgive you!" If I had known that you would make such a big deal in Mary Joa, I shouldn't have let you out of the East China Sea in the first place! ”

Smoker really regretted it, if only he hadn't held Ian accountable for taking the Navy warship out to exterminate the Dragon Pirates without authorization, if Ian had been left in the Navy at that time, maybe there wouldn't have been so many things going on in the future.

As he spoke, Smoker looked behind Ian, and then naturally saw Ace.

The moment he saw Ace, Smoker's pupils couldn't help but shrink, it was really the second team captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace, so in this case, what the Pheasant General said was true, Ian and Ace were chasing the Blackbeard Pirates!?

Sure enough, Nima is going to do something!

Smoker had the urge to complain, and couldn't help but stop Ian at once, saying, "Ian, are you chasing the Blackbeard Pirates?" Listen to me, leave the matter of hunting down the Blackbeard Pirates to the Navy! Hurry up and get me out of Alabastan now! ”

Ian looked at Smoker a little strangely and said, "That...... You mean, the Blackbeard Pirates asked you to catch them? ”

"Of course!" Smoker nodded and said, "Maybe you don't know, Major Guina has encountered the Blackbeard Pirates once before, but because of some things, he didn't succeed in capturing them." ”

Upon hearing this, Ian couldn't help but raise his head in astonishment and looked at Guina.

Guina actually met the Blackbeard Pirates!?

This was a bit more than Ian had expected, so Ian couldn't help but look Guina up and down nervously to see if she was hurt somewhere.

Seeing Ian's gaze, Guina shook her head quietly and slightly, signaling that she was okay.

After confirming that Guina was indeed fine, Ian asked Smoker with a serious expression, "Where did you meet the Blackbeard Pirates?" When and where? Talk to me about it! ”

Smoker didn't doubt it, so he told Gu Yina what he had reported, and Ian glanced at Gu Yina in surprise after hearing it.

Splitting headaches? But it's okay when you wake up? No matter how this sounds, it looks like a state of domineering awakening, could it be that Guina actually awakened domineering by chance?

Ian didn't want to ask her here, so he just shook his head and said: "Smoker, we are friends, you listen to my advice, don't get involved in the Blackbeard Pirates, your navy is too underestimating Titch, let's be honest, even I and Ace teamed up, and the certainty of capturing Titch is only sixty percent at most, so with all due respect, you can't beat the Blackbeard Pirates!" ”

When Smoker heard this, he was so surprised that his cigar almost fell off, what!? Blackbeard Pirates are so powerful!?

He wanted to think that Ian was joking with him, but looking at Ian's serious expression, it didn't seem like a joke, and for a while, even Smoker couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart.

Could it be that the Navy's intelligence is wrong?

Smoker actually didn't want to believe it, but think about what kind of people Ian's opponents were during this period of time, Admiral, Seven Martial Seas, and senior cadres under the command of the Four Emperors, none of these people were good at stubble, and Ian couldn't joke with him about this.

So after thinking about it, Smoker finally made a decision and said: "Okay Ian, I won't interfere with your pursuit of the Blackbeard Pirates, originally as a navy, seeing Fire Fist Ace, a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, I had to arrest him, but I'll give you a face, as if I didn't see him, but on the other hand, you can't interfere with our actions on this island!" ”

Ian was about to agree, but at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed from a distance, and then squeezed Ian and Smoker away and rushed into the restaurant.

"Rice!! I'm going to eat!! ”

After the figure rushed into the restaurant, he sat down directly in front of the dining table, and desperately slapped the table and urged the restaurant owner to say, "Give me food!" I'm going to starve! ”

With a click, Smoker's cigar finally dropped.

And Ace couldn't help but cry out in surprise after seeing the figure clearly: "Luffy!? ”

That's right, the person who rushed all the way into the restaurant was Straw Hat Luffy, but this guy was extremely hungry at this time, and he didn't notice Ian and Smoker blocking the gate, so naturally he wouldn't see Ace.

Ace called him, but Luffy didn't notice, and just as Ace was happily about to go over to find Luffy, he suddenly heard Smoker yell, "Straw Hat Kid!! ”

It was a loud sound, and Luffy finally heard it, so he turned his head and saw Smoker.

"It's you, Smoke Man!" Luffy looked at Smoker with a look of embarrassment, he probably thought it was troublesome.

"Straw Hat Boy, I've finally caught you!" Smoker pulled out his ten hands and was about to rush forward to arrest Luffy, while Dusty and Guina also put their hands on the hilt, ready to follow Smoker at any time.

However, at this time, Ace suddenly opened his arms and stopped in front of Smoker.

"Ace!?" Luffy finally noticed Ace's figure and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Luffy, long time no see!" Ace faced Smoker, but turned his head from under the brim of his hat to Luffy with a smiling eye.

"Haha, Ace! Why are you here!? Luffy also pressed his straw hat and laughed.

However, the conversation between the two made Smoker unhappy, and he frowned and said to Ace: "Fire Fist Ace, what do you mean?" ”

"I'm sorry, Luffy, he's my brother, I can't let you just take him away!" Ace said to Smoker with a grin.

When Smoker heard this, he couldn't help but look back at Ian angrily, meaning, Ace is your person, you hurry up and take care of him!

Ian hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't carry this pot!

While waving his hand, Ian looked at Luffy strangely.

Although this is Ian's first meeting with Luffy in the true sense, it is still no different from Luffy in Ian's impression, and the reason why Ian looks at Luffy with such strange eyes is because he feels that this feeling of inexplicably having a younger brother is really strange.

Don't forget, he drank the wine of righteousness with Essapo, and it was really okay to call Luffy brother......

However, Ian looked at the expressionless Robin next to him, and now that Robin had followed him, it was impossible for him to be Luffy's partner anymore, so in this way, it was Ian who cheated his brother.

Just like when it was Pit Sauron, this feeling is not too cool......
