Chapter 92: On the Thief Ship
A day later, a ship was sailing on the vast sea.
This is a sloop medium-sized sailboat with a black pirate flag hanging on the top of the mast. The pirate flag pattern is a base image of a playing card. There is a skeleton in the frame of the spades, and the skeleton is wearing a hat exactly like Ace.
That's right, this is the Pirates' flag of Ace's Spade Pirates.
On the boat, Ian was looking forward to him sitting on the deck, holding his arms together, looking at Ace squatting in front of him with contempt.
Ace smiled and didn't mind Yian's gaze, saying, "You just agree! OK?"
Yian raised his palm and said, "Stop! Stop it, don't say such misunderstandings! Do you know that someone is calling you the heroine Ace now!?"
What is going on? This starts after saving the fire yesterday.
Ian had to carry Ace on his back because he was exhausted. He didn't mind at first, thinking that Ace was just taking him to escape from the fire. However, what Ian never expected was that Ace, the guy, ended up running all the way to the port!
He didn't know where he got such a medium-sized ship to use as his pirate ship. After he arrived at the port, he actually threw Ian onto the ship and then ordered his sailing!
Yian was shocked at the time. He came to his senses after the ship left the port and quickly asked Ace what he wanted to do.
As a result, Ace told him bluntly that he wanted Yian to be his deputy captain!
Yian felt like he was a dog at that time. He was kidnapped by Ace for a disagreement!
But, Ian was in a weak period and didn't even have the strength to dive back to Bibiko Island. He could only watch the ships go further and further.
In the following time, Ace persisted in pestering Yian, insisting that he agree to be the deputy captain.
There are only seven people in the Spade Pirates, including Ace. The other six members are those who have been following Ace. They witnessed the scene of Ian cutting the warehouse building with one sword, which was shocked to Ian. So when they heard that Ace wanted Rayan to join as the deputy captain, it can be said that everyone in the Spade Pirates agreed with both hands.
Ian was so angry that he came. Ace, the guy, took him on the boat without even asking him. He originally wanted to stay on Bibi Colo Island for two more days. After all, Bill and the others were still on the island. Roland Gale didn't tell him even though he died. Many things were not resolved, but Ace was dragged to the sea by Ace.
Now, after Yian escaped from the weak period, the ship was already on the vast sea. Where can I find the way back to Bibiko Island?
Ace sometimes looks stupid and funny like Luffy, but in fact he is also very smart. He actually uses this method to force Ian to follow his ship.
This is really a "pirate ship"!
So now, Yian is angry with Ace! How could he agree to his request?
"Captain Ace, Boss Ian, have breakfast!" At this moment, Jimmy, who was a chef on the boat, brought two dishes of food to the two.
Now the members of the Spade Pirates on the ship call Ace the captain and Yian the boss. It seems that in their eyes, Yian has already agreed that Yian is the deputy captain of the ship.
This made Yian very helpless, so he simply ignored the conversation and started to eat with the food.
Don't say it, chef Jimmy's skills are really good. Ian can figure out why Ace asked these crew members to be his partners.
Ace was also eating at this time, with his cheeks bulging. While eating, he said, "You are not a good friend, why don't Shi be my deputy captain?"
Yian looked at him with a black thread and said, "Don't talk while eating!"
"Oh! I'm sorry!" Ace lowered his head politely to apologize.
So the two of them ate silently. After eating, Yian threw away the tableware and said to Ace: "It's not that I can't be your deputy captain, but that I can't become a pirate. With the identity of a pirate, it will be inconvenient for me to act in many things!"
Yes, in fact, for Ian, whether it is a pirate, a navy, or a pirate hunter, it doesn't matter to him, because he knows very well that with his personality, even if he becomes a pirate, he will not be that kind of vicious pirate. Similarly, if he becomes a navy, he will not become a scum like Colonel Rat. As long as he can keep his true heart, everything will be the same.
In terms of game terms, Yian is actually a neutral and orderly camp.
But when nothing matters, it also depends on the situation. For him, he must find a way to make money at this stage. If he is a navy, he is a big backer, but he may not be able to make money, because it seems that the navy is responsible and obligation to catch pirates. If he cannot get a bounty, he can only obtain merit and improve his military rank. This is even more so for the pirates. Yian is unwilling to become a bad pirate who robs the family, but it is really unreliable to take risks to find treasures. If anyone can easily find treasures, there may be no pirates in this world.
After all, the identity of Pirate Hunter cannot be lost for the time being. There may be changes in the future, but it is definitely not now.
Yian was quite pleased with Ace's request. He knew that if he had not truly regarded himself as a friend and partner, Ace would not have made such an invitation.
But just like when Yian told Ace not to be a pirate, Ace could not agree, now it is the case. Yian could not agree to Ace as a pirate.
So, Yian told Ace about his situation in detail and told him why he could not be a pirate.
After hearing Yian's words, Ace finally stopped forcing him.
However, Jimmy, the chef who had been watching by the side, suddenly said, "Boss Yian, you are not a pirate, just to make money? But, if you can become the Seven Warlords Sea, wouldn't that be the same?"
Ian looked at Jimmy in a daze.
Damn! This is a very reasonable thing to say!
Yian had never thought of this before. He just thought that he must not become a pirate, otherwise he would not be able to get a bounty at the navy, but he never thought that if he could become a member of the Seven Warriors Sea, it would be the same as being a pirate hunter, because the Seven Warriors Sea was originally a means for the government to check and balance pirates. The pirates caught by the Seven Warriors Sea could also be used to receive bounties, which was recognized by the government.
Of course, if you want to become a Seven Warrior Sea, the premise is to have the strength to defeat one. Yian doesn’t know his current strength, and how much he compares with the Seven Warrior Sea. Moreover, both Seven Warrior Seas seem to have high or low strength. With the strength of Hawkeye Mihawk, you can tie with Shanks of the Four Emperors. If he is used for comparison, Yian is not qualified now.
So although what Jimmy said makes sense, Ian still doesn't plan to consider this matter for the time being.
Now that he is already on Ace's ship, he will simply follow Ace's ship first. Anyway, he will not be able to navigate alone. As he has been delaying for so long on Bibiko Island because of recruiting partners, his record pointer has long been full of magnetic energy and can point to the next island. If he follows him, he can go to the next island smoothly.
Ian asked, and Jimmy said it would take about seven days to reach the next island.
Such a long time cannot be wasted, so Yian said to Ace: "Come and fight!"
This is actually something Yian had thought of doing. Ace had eaten the roasted fruit, which was the kind of horn that was about to improve his skills by leaps and bounds. While he was not fully familiar with the ability of roasted fruit, Yian planned to level up with him as an opponent!
As long as he can defeat him, Yian can get a considerable experience value, which is much better than getting Zoro leveling in Frostmoon Village.
And there is another advantage in fighting Ace, that is, to accumulate experience in fighting against natural devil fruit abilities in advance. When I was in Roger Town, although Ian also fought with Smog twice, Smog's fruit abilities lack offensiveness and tend to be more controllable, which is completely different from Ace's roasted fruit.
Yian knew that domineering things are inherent in everyone, so he must have the potential to domineering, but it has not been opened. All the things used now are minting skills. If you fight with natural ability like Ace, you can also experience it carefully and see what the difference between minting skills and domineering skills are.
At the same time, this method can also be used to make Ace familiar with his ability to burn fruits as soon as possible...
After hearing Ian's proposal, Ace was also excited. In fact, neither of them was serious about the fight he fought with Ian in Roger Town. Now, seeing Ian's serious expression on his face, Ace knew that he was going to take action this time.
