Chapter 299: Action Begins!
”So starting today, Mihawk is also our partner.”
As usual, Ian summoned all the cadres under his command and introduced his good brother to them.
Among the cadres, Teach smacked his lips.
Should I say he is worthy of being Lord Ian? Now even the world’s number one swordsman has been lured here.
With the addition of another powerful and terrifying combat force, how strong should the Beast Pirates be now? Sure enough, staying in this pirate group honestly is better than anything else.
Just follow Lord Ian to the peak of your life, and that’s it. It’s better not to think about those miscellaneous and inexplicable things.
”This is not a surprise.”
Luo said lightly.
Ian had wanted to recruit Hawkeye a long time ago, but he had never succeeded.
But he had never doubted the possibility of this.
After all, there are not many things in this world that Ian wants to do but cannot do.
When Hawkeye stayed on Beehive Island for six years, Luo knew that this guy probably could not escape Ian’s palm.
During these years, everything around him has subtly changed Hawkeye’s perception of the Beasts Pirates.
Look, everything has developed as Luo expected.
“This guy looks really strong now!”
Barrett looked at Hawkeye with a fiery look, “He is much stronger than he was six years ago!”
Hawkeye gave him an equally fiery look, “Devil’s successor, Douglas Barrett, I have wanted to fight you for a long time!”
“Hahahaha! Really? That’s such a coincidence!”
Barrett laughed.
When the two men looked at each other, Teacher Kai smiled at Ian, “You are amazing, kid.”
The Beasts Pirates commanded by this kid are many times stronger than when he was in power.
Ian just smiled.
With the addition of Mihawk, the Beasts Pirates will have three Four Emperors-level fighters, even if he is not counted.
Yamato is only one step away from this level, and can be regarded as a quasi-Four Emperors.
Although Hancock is a little worse, she is also very close.
There is also Kuzan who has the strength of a real admiral.
Law and Enel are also very close to the level of admirals.
In terms of high-end combat power, the World Government should have been completely suppressed, right? Unless there is really some incredible guy hidden among the Celestial Dragons.
But of course, the more combat power, the better, and Ian is not ready to give up his original strategy.
Before being sure of all the power of the World Government, it should not be a bad thing to expand the power on his side to the limit.
That’s what Ian thought.
So.
”It’s about time to start taking action.”
Ian said.
“Oh?”
Teacher Kai’s eyes lit up at once, “So, kid, how are you going to start?”
”The final with the World Government shouldn’t be too long, so before that we have to clean up those miscellaneous guys on the sea.”
Ian said, “Either let them stand with us, or let them have no chance to help the World Government.”
”Got it.”
Luo translated Ian’s words, “In other words, either surrender to us or die?”
Ian Xiaoxiong spread his hands, “We can’t give them a chance to mess with us, right?”
”All the guys who dare to be enemies with Ian will naturally have only one way to die!”
Although she was very resentful when she gave Ian the ring a few days ago, Hancock naturally stood up to defend Ian’s authority at this time.
“Why go to all that trouble?”
Barrett snorted, “Why not just wipe out those inexplicable guys?”
“Don’t be silly,”
Ian said with a smile, “Wouldn’t that be a waste? Without knowing the true strength of the world government, in order to ensure the final victory, of course, we should gather as much strength as possible.”
“Indeed,”
Jack was deeply impressed by his elder brother’s foresight.”The World Government is not that easy to deal with. We should unite all the forces that can be united.”
”So, Ian,”
Teacher Kai raised his eyebrows, “Do you mean that we should form an alliance with those other guys next?”
”That’s about it.”
Ian said, “Let’s not talk about the Revolutionary Army, they are already our allies.”
”The rest are the Charlotte Family, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Cross Guild, and the Red Hair Pirates.”
Ian didn’t count the NEO Navy.
After all, NEO and the Revolutionary Army are already allies, and Ian has known this for a long time. The three parties have a consensus on dealing with the World Government, and there is no need to form an alliance with them again.
“Red Hair Pirates?”
Ace asked in surprise, “Has Shanks become that strong?”
Is the pirate group that I had seen in Windmill Village already on par with the long-famous pirate groups on the sea, such as the Charlotte Family and the Whitebeard Pirates?
”If nothing unexpected happens,”
Ian looked at a girl among the cadres, “The Red Hair Pirates are already one of the most powerful pirate groups in the world except us.”
The Red Hair Pirates in the original work became the Four Emperors Pirates four years before the Straw Hat Boy went to sea, that is, one year before now.
That is to say, at least a year ago, the Red Hair guy already had the strength to challenge the peak of the sea.
Even if we don’t refer to the original work, the strength of the Red Hair guy and Hawkeye is almost tied. Mihawk has reached this level, and the Red Hair will only be stronger, not weaker.
“Ian!”
The singing girl with red and white hair said indignantly, “Are you going to win over the Red Hair Pirates? Those guys are just a bunch of scum!”
Hawkeye’s mouth twitched.
He couldn’t understand why Red Hair’s daughter would join the Beasts Pirates, and now she seemed to hate Red Hair to the core.
Ian said righteously, “I always felt that something was a little strange about what happened back then. In my impression, Shanks is not someone who would do that kind of thing.”
”Didn’t I ask him once? That guy even wanted to kill me at that time!”
Uta shouted angrily, “I don’t think there will be any problems!”
Ian looked at the girl deeply, “So, Uta, do you mean we should just destroy the Red Hair Pirates?”
The expression on the face of the angry girl froze instantly.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Do you want to, kill Shanks and the others? The girl fell into silence.
Ian was not surprised at all.
Although Shanks acted as if he was going to kill Uta when they met last time, in fact, the girl could not completely abandon her feelings for Shanks and the Red Hair Pirates.
Now that Uta is in contact with the Red Hair Pirates, Ian does not think it will have any impact.
Uta’s friends are in the Beasts Pirates, and Uta’s career is in the Beasts Pirates.
At this time, the weight of the Beasts Pirates in her mind may not be lower than that of the Red Hair Pirates.
Not to mention that Shanks will never take the initiative to reveal the truth about Elegia back then.
”So, I will go and talk to Shanks when I have time, and try to make him make the right choice.”
Ian said so.
Uta did not refute, but sat back silently.
Hawkeye was also slightly relieved. Although he has joined the Beasts Pirates, his friendship with Red Hair for so many years is not fake.
Now it seems that Ian is indeed a man of great loyalty and righteousness.
He is worthy of being the emperor with a high reputation in the New World.
”Except for the Red Hair Pirates, it seems that it is not easy for other guys to win them over.”
Luo said, “Shanks has some friendship with you, Ian, but the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Charlotte Family, or the Cross Guild, they only have hatred, right?”
It seems to be true.
Ian scratched his head.
Let’s not talk about the Whitebeard Pirates, they have a deep hatred for each other.
The reason why Whitebeard didn’t come to trouble him now is purely because of the difference in strength between the two sides.
Don’t even mention the Cross Guild.
Between the Beasts Pirates and MoriahThe hatred is no less than that of the Whitebeard Pirates. That guy probably dreams of revenge on me and Teacher Kai.
The reason why Crocodile left Alabasta was entirely because I took the information of Pluto. He probably wanted to take the information back from me.
Finally, it was Redfield.
Alas, the vampire fruit that has never been used is the ability that the stinky old man has always dreamed of. In order to snatch the fruit from me, I beat him up.
Speaking of this, it seems that the hatred on the Charlotte family side is less.
However, it seems that I have brought a lot of humiliation to Aunt Lingling.
Not to mention that I took away the rubbing of the main text of the road sign history in front of her, the earlier battle of Beehive Island was a slap in Aunt Lingling’s face. It is said that she has even started to work hard since then.
However, there is no connection between him and the Charlotte family.
Teacher Kai and Aunt Lingling have known each other for decades, and they are truly like siblings.
Besides Teacher Kai, there is another middleman between the Beast Pirates and the Charlotte Family.
The child who was taken out of Aunt Lingling’s belly is now six years old.
Although he was not going to return the child after Aunt Lingling fulfilled her promise to help create a bunch of Homies.
But as the child grew older, Xiong actually felt guilty.
He was actually worried that Aunt Lingling would be very painful if she couldn’t see her child.
At the beginning, he was worried that Aunt Lingling had taught the child badly, so he wanted to get the child back.
Otherwise, how can this man be called a saint?
So, he sent someone to find Aunt Lingling, and the two sides reached an agreement.
Each year, both sides raised the child for half a year.
Aunt Lingling was of course happy to accept this. After all, if she didn’t sign this agreement, she would have no chance to see the child.
Of course, she was unwilling to give up a son of the Bakaria tribe.
The reason why the child didn’t come with Xiong and Ginny this time was because he was still playing with the Charlotte family in the North Sea.
It seems that the Charlotte family should be the easiest to win over.
“Let’s give it a try.”
Ian said with a smile, “What if they are willing to make friends with us?”
”Hahahaha! Lord Ian, I don’t think that’s possible!”
After hearing what Ian said, Teach said with a smile, “Dad will never give in to us. Although he is old and no longer has the strength and courage of the past, even if he is an old man, he is still a super stubborn old man.”
”As for what to do specifically, we will make a decision after contacting Senior Whitebeard.”
Ian said with a smile, “At least the last signpost must be obtained.”
In fact, he didn’t think the Whitebeard Pirates would compromise.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s just a question.
“Whitebeard?”
Ace’s eyes lit up instantly, “Ian, if you want to go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates, I want to go with you!”
Ian knew that this kid wanted to see the strength of his father’s enemies back then.
”Whatever you want.”
Ian did not refuse.
After all, Ace’s strength was already very strong at this time, and the level of the emperor’s vice-chairman was not a big problem.
”Great!”
Ace waved his fist excitedly.
”Anyway, let’s start with the Charlotte family.”
Ian smiled and said, “Aunt Lingling should be the easiest to win over.”
”Teacher Kai, Xiong, how about going with me later?”
”I have no problem.”
Xiong nodded gently.
It would be great if the problem could be solved peacefully.
If the war with the Charlotte family really started, the child’s position would not be very good.
“Lingling?”
Teacher Kai snorted, “That stinky old woman should be quiet, leave it to me.”
“If she dares to refuse, I will use my iron rod to let her know that she has no ability to refuse!”
Ian’s mouth twitched.
Teacher Kai, this is obviously a very serious matter, why do you make it sound so strange?
However, it can still be heard that Teacher Kai is defending Aunt Lingling.Ah, I don’t want that woman to be wiped out at all.
Anyway, that’s the truth.
With the emotional appeal of Xiong and Kai, and her own persuasion, Aunt Lingling should know what to choose.
”After the Charlotte family, we will go to the West Sea to find the Red Hair Pirates and the Cross Guild.”
Ian said, “Uta, Mihawk, do you want to go together?”
”No problem.”
Hawkeye shrugged.
If a conflict really occurs, he can mediate.
Red Hair, you guys should thank me well.
”…I know.”
Uta nodded in a muffled voice.
Seems hesitant.
“Lord Ian,”
Teach suddenly said, “What about the Whitebeard Pirates? Should they be put last?”
The Whitebeard Pirates are also in the North Sea. Wouldn’t it be too complicated to go to the North Sea to find the Charlotte Family first, then go to the West Sea, and finally return to the North Sea to find the Whitebeard Pirates?
”Because the Whitebeard Pirates are most likely to go to war with us.”
Ian answered.
Teach understood instantly.
If the Whitebeard Pirates were dealt with first, it would alert the enemy.
In short, after six years of silence, the Beast Pirates began to act again.
The first target, the North Sea!
