The next morning,.
Ian got up early, which was rare, and got out of Weiwei’s room.
Rush to the coastline of Wano Country’s inland sea in one breath and start long-distance running.
Since the points were easily obtained, there was rarely a chance to complete the daily tasks.
After self-reflection, it may be that the pace of life has been too fast recently.
Big things happened one after another, and I couldn’t avoid them even if I wanted to.
A relaxed environment, the right time, should slow down the pace and enjoy life well.
Sure enough, with more experience, a wife, children and a warm bed will gradually become the ultimate yearning of life.
Spending a life in an ordinary, stable, healthy and enjoyable way is the most wonderful journey with fireworks.
At the same time.
In a guest room of the general’s mansion.
Weiwei hugged the soft quilt and curled up into a ball.
When I thought of what happened last night, I couldn’t help but blush.
She pulled the quilt over her face and rolled over on the bed, feeling shy and annoyed.
"Damn it, Vice Admiral Ian won’t think I’m a very casual girl…"
Weiwei muttered to herself, knowing that she was too impulsive yesterday and should be more rational to resist Ian’s strong attack.
Now that such a thing has happened, how will she face her teammates in the future?
Weiwei naturally didn’t know, this worry was completely unnecessary.
…
After the morning run.
Ian contacted Marshal Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters.
Just like the previous elimination of Crocodile, Mary Geoise learned about it afterwards.
But Ian notified Marshal Sengoku before taking action.
Since joining the Navy Headquarters, most of Ian’s decisions have been made by Marshal Sengoku.
Every time, Marshal Sengoku was only angry on the surface, but actually supported Ian’s actions.
To achieve so many successes and gain so many excellent subordinates.
Without Marshal Sengoku’s secret support and arrangements, Ian knew that he could not achieve it.
Although he could not tell Marshal Sengoku his real plan at the moment.
But in the action of conquering the forces, Ian still gave Marshal Sengoku enough face and made a good advance greeting.
In the Den Den Mushi, Marshal Sengoku’s worried inquiry came:
"Are you sure you want to act so quickly?"
"Since Kaido was conquered, the New World has been much more stable."
"In fact, there is no need to act so quickly. It is better to change the times little by little."
"Ian, you are not going to use conquering pirates to vent your frustration, right?"
Of course, Sengoku could not guess Ian’s real purpose.
I thought that after he accepted the mission from the Five Elders, he had no choice but to obey, and the pressure on him was too great.
That’s why he thought of using the method of constantly attacking pirates to relieve his mood.
Ian didn’t have too much entanglement or explanation for this.
Talking too much is not a good thing.
"I guess so. If the navy doesn’t do something serious, will it kill civilians?"
"Last time, Charlotte Lingling ran away. This time, we will go directly to her home base on Cake Island and won’t give her a chance to escape."
Ian answered sharply.
It is naturally a good thing to be able to remove a cancer on the sea.
Moreover, Ian has the right to start a war granted by the Five Elders.
Even if Zhan Guo doesn’t support it, Ian can still do it himself.
It is not difficult to hear from Ian’s words that he doesn’t seem to plan to seek any support this time.
Zhan Guo took the initiative to say:
"No matter what resentment or thoughts you have in your heart."
"First, ensure your own safety before making any decision."
"Kuzan has no missions recently. When are you going to act?"
"I will secretly dispatch him to the New World to help you defeat Charlotte Linlin."
"War with the Four Emperors Group cannot be sloppy at all."
Ian knew that Zhan Guo had good intentions.
It’s just that this time, he brought two subordinates who could not be made public.
Nico Robin and Yamato!
Especially Nico Robin, who was let go by Aokiji himself.
Once they meet, they will most likely recognize each other directly, and there will be no surprises.
When defeating the two Four Emperors, Ian does need support.
Now there is only one person, there is no need to let the generals participate.
Ian found an excuse and said:
"Marshal Sengoku, you know that what I am least good at is reporting to my superiors."
"If the general participates in the operation, it will be difficult for the superiors of Mary Geoise to not notice it."
"Trust me, with the current strength of my team, it is enough to deal with the Big Mom Group."
"It’s just a simple crusade, there will be no unexpected situation."
Sengoku did not continue to discuss this issue, he also knew what a rebellious character Ian was.
After giving some instructions, he cut off contact with Ian.
Ian did not put away the Den Den Mushi, but directly called Peacock who was in the branch.
After a while, the Den Den Mushi imitated Peacock’s iconic smile:
"Our Lieutenant General Ian, after playing outside for so many days, have you finally remembered your dear subordinates?"
"Are you preparing to return to the branch, or are there any special instructions?"
"Is it… just a simple greeting to me?"
In front of Ian, the only person who dared to make such arrogant hints was Peacock.
It’s true that being able to flirt is also a special skill.
Ian smiled easily:
"Is it not enough to just greet you? I must have something to call you?"
"I’ve only been away from the branch for a few days, are you so arrogant now?"
Of course Peacock knew that Ian was joking.
Ever since Mary JoAfter Ya returned, Ian’s worries were almost written on his face.
Those who followed him knew that Ian must be planning something.
But no one took the initiative to ask.
Ian’s style of doing things was very simple.
When he felt the time was right, he would tell his subordinates.
If he didn’t say it, no one would ask what happened specifically.
Peacock went straight to the point and said:
"Okay, don’t make fun of our Vice Admiral Ian."
"Are there any special arrangements this time? I will do it immediately according to the order."
Ian said seriously:
"Everyone has a mission this time, so we don’t need to bring too many soldiers. One hundred people are enough."
"We are going to start a new journey of conquest!"
If it was just to defeat one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Ian would not deploy troops, let alone send out all the troops.
This shows that the size of the enemy team is far greater than that of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Among the people who are worth taking action in the New World, only the Four Emperors are worth it!
"Let me guess, the force that Vice Admiral Ian wants to eliminate this time… is it the Charlotte family?"
Peacock spoke out his guess.
It’s not hard to guess.
The Red Hair Pirates have always been alone and do not participate in any conspiracy or sabotage.
As for the Whitebeard Pirates, they don’t have too many bad pasts, and they have no intersection with Ian’s team.
Among the limited candidates, only the Big Mom Pirates are left!
"You guessed right, let’s set sail tonight and head to Cake Island!"
"I will take everyone to find you and join you."
"Remember that this is a secret operation, you don’t need to tell anyone, and you don’t need to make any reports."
Ian said with instructions.
"Understood, looking forward to meeting, looking forward to another anti-evil operation!"
Even if Ian didn’t say the following words, Peacock knew how to deal with it.
As Ian’s adjutant, he naturally knew his work style the most.
…
After arranging the time for the action.
Ian summoned all the members and came to a trial field in the General’s Mansion of Flower City.
The new members of the team, Vivi, Nico Robin, and Aisha, were also summoned.
At the same time, Yamato, who had nothing to do, also pestered Ian and insisted on participating in this trial meeting together.
Yamato had no special motives, but was simply worried that Ian would regret leaving alone after agreeing to take her to the action.
In the process of communicating with Ian’s subordinates, he had a certain understanding of Ian’s character of coming and going without a trace.
Ian did not refuse this.
Because today’s protagonist is not him, but the chosen Weiwei.
"Weiwei, come out."
When Ian called her name, Weiwei was obviously stunned.
With so many subordinates present, why did he suddenly call her out?
"Yes!"
Weiwei imitated the navy’s salute and gave a standard answer.
Everyone couldn’t help laughing.
Only the newcomers would consider the etiquette between superiors and subordinates in the navy.
Those who knew him well knew that Ian didn’t care about these things at all.
"No need to be so restrained, just be like usual."
Ian waved his hand and motioned Weiwei to come to him.
Even if Ian said so, Weiwei couldn’t relax.
She was with Ian last night…
Now she was like a normal superior and subordinate, but she didn’t want others to see the difference.
The girl was not good at hiding her thoughts, and Ian couldn’t help laughing.
According to the arrangement, Yun Que took out a special box and handed it to Ian.
"Weiwei, you should remember what I asked of you when you joined my team, right?"
Ian asked Weiwei.
Weiwei recalled and nodded:
"Don’t be soft-hearted to the enemy, and… obey orders and follow instructions."
Both of these points are correct.
Then, Ian opened the box and revealed what was inside.
A fruit similar to a cactus was quietly placed in the box.
Except for the few people who have followed Ian for a long time, the newcomers didn’t know what this fruit represented.
Weiwei looked at it in confusion: "Is this… a devil fruit? For me?"
Ian replied affirmatively: "Yes."
She has only joined the team for a short time. Even if there is a good thing about becoming a capable person, she should consider others first.
Suddenly, a devil fruit was brought to Weiwei, making her feel flattered.
The girl’s fantasy personality was once again revealed.
Weiwei took two steps back, waved her hands and said:
"No, no, no, Lieutenant General Ian, this… this is too expensive, I can’t take it."
"I am in the team now, and I haven’t made any contribution yet."
"Give me such a big ‘gift’, I… I can’t afford it."
In Weiwei’s eyes, Ian’s arrangement became a special care.
It must be because of what happened yesterday that Ian did this.
The subordinates were watching, if she set a precedent of "going through the back door".
How can she get along harmoniously with everyone in the team in the future?
Ian didn’t want to expose the girl’s thoughts.
However, Weiwei’s resistance was too obvious.
Ian had no choice but to ask mercilessly: "Skylark, where did your fruit ability come from?"
Skylark replied: "Vice Admiral Ian gave it to me."
Ian: "Nami, where did you get your devil fruit ability?"
Nami: "Also from Vice Admiral Ian."
Ian: "Speed, what about you?"
Speed: "Also thanks to Vice Admiral Ian."
Weiwei blushed immediately: "…"
It turns out that everyone is the sameHuh?
She thought it was special treatment!
Wasn’t the reaction just now a bit too strange?
Ian walked to Weiwei again, patted her on the shoulder and said:
"In our team, there are only suitable and unsuitable identities of people with special abilities."
"I don’t consider the length of time you join the team, understand?"
"It is precisely because of the lack of strength that we have to find ways to improve."
"Devil Fruit… is the best way to improve strength!"
Weiwei didn’t dare to say anything more this time, she was ashamed to death in her heart.
She nodded and bowed deeply to Ian:
"I understand, Lieutenant General Ian, thank you Lieutenant General Ian!"
Ian pointed to the box: "Don’t you ask me what kind of devil fruit this is?"
Weiwei really didn’t think about this.
She said what she thought truthfully:
"Since it is Vice Admiral Ian’s choice, it must be more suitable for me, right?"
"I am the weakest, and any devil fruit is a great help to me."
This mentality is worthy of praise.
Ian still patiently explained:
"Because you were born in the desert country and are the princess of Alabasta."
"You have enough knowledge of the desert, so you can definitely use and develop this devil fruit."
"It is a natural devil fruit… Sand-Sand Fruit!"
Vivi: "!!!"
Hearing the name of the fruit in the box, Vivi and Nico Robin outside the field were both surprised.
Both knew that the natural Sand-Sand Fruit was eliminated by Ian, the devil fruit ability of Crocodile.
Now the devil fruit is reborn in Ian’s hands?
Obviously, this is definitely not a coincidence!
"Yes, the former user of this devil fruit was Crocodile."
"I used my method to extract the devil fruit from him while getting rid of him."
"So, Vivi, are you hesitating?"
"Because its former user was an enemy who almost destroyed the Kingdom of Alabasta?"
Ian’s words hit Vivi’s heart.
But after just a moment of hesitation, Vivi resolutely took the box.
"Sorry, Vice Admiral Ian, I shouldn’t have hesitated."
"Such a powerful devil fruit, I don’t know how many people dream of it."
"The ability itself is neither right nor wrong, it’s the person who uses the ability who has a problem."
Vivi’s answer made Ian more satisfied.
Sure enough, the girl who experienced the national disaster was not as fragile as imagined.
At least Vivi knew very well how powerful this devil fruit was.
"Eat it, it might taste a bit bad."
Ian pointed at the box and said.
Weiwei nodded, mustered up the courage to take out the Sand-Sand Fruit, closed her eyes andHe took a big bite.
