Ianke did not forget the purpose of coming to Ace this time, so he whispered to Ace who was holding him and said, "Ace, have you seen Dic?"

At this time, Marshall D. Ticci seemed to have no title of Blackbeard. It seemed that he only obtained the name after he turned the Whitebeard group, so Ian directly said his name.

"Tic?" Ace was stunned when he heard the name, and then said, "Oh, I remember it, it was that guy. I have seen him on the boat. He seems to be a good guy."

Ian nodded and confirmed his guess. Tic appeared here with Whitebeard, indicating that Whitebeard summoned him back after the Clockwork Island incident, so Ace had definitely met him.

However, from Ace's answer, Ian found that this guy Dizzy seemed to be pretending very well. Dizzy had been in the Whitebeard Pirates for a long time and had always pretended to be honest and heroic, hiding his ambitions deeply. Not only did he deceive others, but even Ace, a newcomer who had just joined, seemed to have a good impression of him.

"Yan, have you ever seen Tichi?" Ace asked him while helping Yian walk.

"I met him when I was on Clockwork Island!" Ian said, thrusting with Fu all over his body. Ian was supported by Ace, and now it was very close, so he whispered to Ace: "Listen to me, Ace, you have to be careful of Ditch, this person is not as simple as it appears!"

Ace frowned and said, "But, I feel that others are good. I like the atmosphere in the Whitebeard Pirates, too..."

Yian shook his head and said, "Ace, have I harmed you?"

"No!" Ace smiled and said, "You and I are brothers, how could you harm me? By the way, if you have the opportunity to meet Luffy in the future, I will introduce him to you. I believe he will also like your brother very much!"

Yian smiled and said, "Let's say it, but Ace, you must pay attention to my words!"

"Well, okay!" Ace nodded: "I'll pay attention to that guy."

After hearing what he said, Yian was a little relieved, but he calculated carefully, knowing that Ace would probably have to spend two years with Ditch. The scheming black beard would probably use his performance to wipe away Ace's vigilance towards him bit by bit. Maybe in the end, Ace would think that Ian was too worried.

Thinking of this, Yian couldn't help but frown and thought about how to solve this problem.

It is impossible for him to join the Whitebeard Pirates. Joining the Whitebeard Pirates means recognizing Whitebeard as his father, but Yian has his own parents. Even after coming to this world, he met two masters, Koshiro and Reilly. He also has his sister Guina and Zoro, the junior brother, and his relatives are still there, so unlike Ace, Ian cannot accept recognizing others as his father.

Yian admitted that Whitebeard is indeed very good. He really treated Ace and the others as his sons. If Yian was really a person with a poor background, perhaps he could really treat Whitebeard as his brothers as his family and treat the Pirates' brothers as his family.

But the problem is, Yian is not.

If history had not deviated too much, then two years later, during the period when Luffy went out of the sea, Tyche would have killed the captain of the Fourth Team Sach, and then rebeled from the Whitebeard Pirates because he wanted to snatch the Dark Fruit.

For two years, since Yian doesn't want to join the Whitebeard Pirates, it's impossible for him to stay with Ace for two years.

And Yian didn't know when the dark fruit appeared, so he couldn't return at that point in time.

There was only one other way to think of some other solutions. Yian glanced at the white beard walking in front of him, feeling that it was not the time to discuss with Ace at this time, so he could only stop talking about this matter for the time being.

As for Ace, he didn't know that Yian was worried about his affairs, and he happily told Yian about what he had encountered over the past period of time.

When everyone left the port and entered the city of Salamis, causing the place where the previous battle became empty, intern reporter Pritz stood up tremblingly and ran away quickly.

Today's scenes are too exciting for him, an intern reporter who just debuted. Fortunately, no one will cause trouble for a little person like him, and he will make a fortune in the future because of this once-in-a-lifetime report.

Pritz left, but what he didn't know was that just after he left, another figure appeared here.

The figure looked very mysterious. He was covered in a green cloak, and the hood of the cloak covered his head tightly.

He stood there, looking at the mess around him destroyed by the war, and couldn't help but smile.

"Bear, it seems you're in vain. This little guy is more capable than we imagined..." The mysterious man whispered to himself, then took steps and slowly left.

A slight sea breeze blew, stroking his hood, revealing part of the mysterious man's face. On his left face, there was a strange scaly tattoo...

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After entering the city, Yian realized how famous the Whitebeard Pirates had in this country.

In the navy's propaganda, the pirate, Whitebeard, is very terrible. This strongest man is often used by some mothers to scare the crying children and tell them that if they cry again, Whitebeard will come!

However, this refers to a situation that only occurs in some world government franchises, and in Salamis, this situation is the opposite.

Whitebeard has been circling the sea for decades and has met all kinds of people. He is not a person with a bad temper and eccentric personality, so he has made many friends in his life, the king of Fishman Island and the Great Knight Nepton are not the only example.

Of course, the so-called white-bearded friends are almost the same as him now, and they are older men.

When the white beard appeared on the streets of the city under the escort of the Principality of Salamis, and was discovered by the people hiding at home, the crowd suddenly surged out like a tide.

"Dad!? Look, it's really Dad!"

"The Whitebeard Pirates! It's the Whitebeard Pirates coming!"

"Oh my God, Salamis is really saved!"

"Malco, and the immortal bird Marco!"

"That person is Ace of Fire Fist? He is now a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, which is great!"

Although the people of the Principality of Salamis were still very awe of Whitebeard, they were also enthusiastically welcoming the arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates. They shouted Whitebeard and shouted the names of the captains of each team following him, and the noisy voices rushed to the sky.

Yian looked at this scene in surprise, unable to believe that this was welcoming a big pirate. Looking at the laughing smiles of the old people around the street and the excited and screaming expressions of young girls, it seemed like welcoming a hero!

"It's strange?" Marco noticed Ian's expression and said with a smile: "Don't doubt it, for this country, Dad is a hero!"

"What's going on?" Ace just joined, so he didn't know the past of this country, so he was a little curious.

"The Principality of Salamis was originally a franchise of the world government!" Marco explained: "But as the amount of heavenly gold required by the Tianlong people became higher and higher, this country seemed a little overwhelmed. You should know that heavenly gold is different from taxes. In other words, countries that pay heavenly gold to the Tianlong people usually collect additional heavenly gold taxes in addition to normal taxes. His Majesty Juan Carlos, the king of the Principality of Salamis, is a good king. After seeing that the country became increasingly poor due to the heavenly gold system, he resolutely decided to withdraw from the franchising country. After missing this heavenly gold tax, he also reduced other taxes at the same time, which slowly restored the country's anger."

"So, there are other franchisees who continue to collect taxes regardless of this influence?" Yian asked.

"Of course!" Marco nodded and said, "And there are quite a few. For some kings, although the heavenly gold is paid to the Tianlong people, it is not produced from them. The heavenly gold tax is given to the Tianlong people, and the normal tax is given to them, and they are all extracted from the people. Therefore, whether there is heavenly gold or not has nothing to do with them. Some countries, in turn, have to borrow the name of heavenly gold and collect intensive taxes."

Yian shook his head when he heard this. No wonder at the World Conference, many countries proposed to abolish the Heavenly Gold System. It seems that wise people have realized that this will lead to national turmoil.

Taxes and taxes have always been the root of turmoil...

"What happened later?" Ace asked.

"After withdrawing from the franchise, Salamis also had a dark period!" Marco said: "At that time, the Navy withdrew the defense forces stationed in this country, which led to some pirates discovering the emptiness of this country, so they took the opportunity to plunder the Principality of Salamis. The army of this country was unable to resist the endless pirates, so in the end, His Majesty Carlos had to find his father and asked him to go out and protect Salamis."

"His Majesty Carlos met his father many years ago when he was traveling abroad, but he hadn't seen him again in many years!" Marco smiled and said, "But when he came to him, his father recognized him at a glance, so he came to this island without hesitation and put his banner on him. From then on, no pirates dared to mess around on this island. This is why the people in the Principality of Salamis welcomed his father so much."

After hearing this, Yian couldn't help but feel a little excited. Although the white bearded old is old, the pirate has reached his peak when he reaches his level.
