"On the first day of sailing, who is so bold as to put a pirate ship on the route of this Commodore!"
Ian took off the newspaper covering his face slowly and muttered sleepily.
It started when Nami was rummaging through the file box and mumbling to herself.
Ian had already activated the fruit skill and heard her muttering.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Don Quixote Family!
The pirate ship under Doflamingo!
If this is the Grand Line, it would not be surprising to see the ships of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
However, this is the East China Sea. What are the people of the Don Quixote Family doing in the East China Sea?
The direction Ian pointed to was the Calm Belt in front, and the reverse direction was heading towards the Upside-Down Mountain.
It seems that they are planning to return to the Grand Line from the normal route.
"Colonel Ian, should we…should we also give way?"
"The other party is the Shichibukai, a large pirate group that the World Government has granted privileges to."
"Besides, Colonel Tina has already given way."
Nami anxiously waited for Ian’s reply so that she could inform the helmsman in time.
Although she had never been to the Grand Line or the Navy Headquarters, she had often heard of the name of the Shichibukai since she joined the army.
Each member of the Shichibukai has catastrophic destructive power and powerful strength that rivals that of a country.
They were established to restrain the Four Emperors Group in the New World and are a huge force belonging to the World Government.
While serving the World Government, they will naturally be given specific powers.
Freedom to act and not be controlled by the Navy is the most basic power.
Even if the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters encounters them, they will choose to take a detour to avoid direct conflict with them.
What’s more, they are just two colonel-level warships.
"Wait for my order."
Ian said, turned into a black shadow, and his figure turned and flashed to the highest point of the sail.
He stood firmly, clasped his hands in front of him, and looked forward.
Visual and auditory abilities activated!
The sound and picture instantly crossed more than ten nautical miles, as if they were right in front of him, and were clearly presented.
In the cold sea breeze, the pirate flag fluttered.
On the flag, in addition to the unique pirate logo of the Don Quixote family, there is also a black peach heart pattern.
This is the symbol of the "Four Color Lords" of the Don Quixote family.
The black peach heart represents that this ship belongs to the Spade Army!
On the deck, about fifty pirates gathered.
Several people gathered together, and all that could be heard was their unbridled laughter.
"Haha, look, the navy ships have given way to us!"
"The navy is just like that, a bunch of cowards, and when they saw the flag of our Don Quixote family, they were scared to death!"
"What do you mean by maritime law enforcement officers? I think they are just a bunch of spineless people!"
"Ahahahaha!"
"…"
Ian’s attention was not on the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
The man sitting under the parasol on the deck was the leader of this pirate ship.
The man wore a black top hat, a round mirror and a mask on his face.
He wore a dark blue long windbreaker, inlaid with various gear ring-shaped metal decorations.
At this moment, he was holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand and talking to someone.
"Master, this voyage went very smoothly."
"I took fifty little ghosts back, and I will hand them over to those guys in the underground world according to the instructions of the young master."
"I think the task of collecting experimental subjects in the future does not require ‘Red Heart’ to go to great lengths in the New World."
"There are too many poor and ruined countries in the four seas, and experimental subjects can be easily obtained. ”
The young master the man was talking about was the leader of the Don Quixote family… one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Don Quixote Doflamingo!
"Hey, hey, hey, Gladius, you did a good job. I look forward to your return, remember to be careful."
"Yes, young master."
After the Den Den Mushi hung up, Ian’s attention shifted to the storage room at the back.
Although he couldn’t see the situation inside, he could hear faint sounds in the darkness.
"Sister, where are they taking us? It’s dark and cold here, and I’m so hungry!"
"Ariel, bear with it, sister is by your side, it will be fine, everything will be fine."
"Woo, are we going to be sold? Why are you arresting us?"
"Don’t cry, everyone keep your voice down, be careful of getting beaten again, they are vicious pirates. ”
“It won’t get better. It will never get better again.”
“…”
Ian retracted his gaze and roughly understood the situation ahead.
Fifty children… the collected experimental subjects… I see!
During this period, Caesar Clown, who was secretly cooperating with Doflamingo, received financial support from the Four Emperors Charlotte Linlin and was conducting a giantization experiment.
Doflamingo secretly provided assistance and provided Caesar Clown with experimental subjects… these innocent children!
The “Red Heart” mentioned in the call was one of the four colorful lords of the Don Quixote family… Vergo, who was undercover in the New World Navy!
Vergo currently holds the rank of lieutenant general and is the base commander of G5 base.
At first, he should have secretly kidnapped children from nearby villages.
Now it seems that the Don Quixote family’s claws have reached the poor children of the four seas.
Indeed, there are many poor countries in the four seas, with a large number of displaced children.
The disappearance of these children is like a small stone thrown into the sea, which can’t splash a little water.
Some people are born to be called young masters, while others can only become food for the devil. This is the reality of the pirate world.
The man leading the team is called Gladius.
He is one of the earliest cadres of the Don Quixote family, a user of the superhuman Boom-Boom Fruit, and his bounty was once 31 million.
His fruit ability is to make his body or the inorganic matter he touches expand continuously, and then produce an explosive impact.
"Tsk tsk tsk, a user of the Boom-Boom Fruit is a good opponent for training after leaving the East China Sea."
"By the way, let’s check how many points a pirate of this level can bring?"
Ian moved his knuckles, making a creaking sound.
He doesn’t have a strong sense of saintliness, and he doesn’t like to meddle in other people’s affairs.
If he just heard about this, he would definitely not take the initiative to do something stupid to enforce justice because of his disgust for pirates.
Pursue the so-called fairness and justice?
There are so many injustices in the world. Can you manage them all?
But today, he happened to hear and see it.
Besides, this is his territory, the East China Sea, so it is no small matter.
In the East China Sea, any pirate who wants to do whatever he wants must first ask Ian if he agrees!
Ian’s figure flashed like a gust of wind and jumped onto the deck in an instant.
Nami had been waiting anxiously, and immediately came over when she saw this.
"Captain Ian, the distance is getting closer."
"At the current speed, we will meet the Don Quixote family’s ship head-on in less than five minutes."
"Should…should we get out of the way?"
As a navigator, it is her duty to maintain the normal navigation of the ship.
"Let’s make way! Turn up the loud speaker on the ship to the highest decibel!"
"Hey, inform the helmsman by the way, if he dares to deviate a little, he will be the first to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish!"
Ian had a sly smile, but his words were full of unquestionable majesty.
"Yes, I understand… I understand!"
Having followed Ian for so long, Nami knew it well.
At this moment, no one could stop Colonel Ian from making his decision.
