But after a short while, he quickly recovered, turned his head, and looked at the fish tank beside the little girl, which contained six fish.
At this mont, it seed as though he understood sothing.
Kuzan fell silent for a mont, his gaze returning to Ian, his expression sowhat strange. "You didn't catch a single fish, did you?"
"Bullshit! What do you an, I didn't catch a single fish?!"
Hearing Kuzan's words, Ian was imdiately so angry that he started jumping in place, glaring at Kuzan in exasperation. "If it weren't for you, I'd already have reeled in that two-thousand-ter-long fish just now."
Kuzan: "..."
Why did it get bigger again?
And two thousand ters...
What does this guy think this place is?
The deep-sea zone, or the Calm Belt?
"You really know how to ruin the mood!"
Looking at the silent Kuzan, Ian sneered dissatisfiedly. "You made that three-thousand-ter fish get away. Forget it, I'll forgive you this ti. You can't do this next ti, you know, other old fishing geezers... If you let their four-thousand-ter fish get away, even if you're an Admiral, they'd absolutely fight you to the death!"
Kuzan: "..."
Four thousand ters?!
That damn thing would already be a large Sea King.
Kuzan's face was covered in black lines, but before he could say anything, Ian waved his hand, sighed as if saying, since we're all acquaintances, I'll forgive you!
Then he looked at him and said, "So, tell . What did you co to see for?"
Kuzan: "..."
Kuzan looked speechless at the magnanimous Ian. If there weren't children present today, he really would have wanted to argue properly with this guy about what a four-thousand-ter fish actually looked like.
He would argue using his Ice Age.
But… not right now... maybe next ti.
Kuzan jumped off his bicycle, leaned it against the ship's rail, then jumped onto the ship himself.
After lazily stretching, he glanced around and said unhurriedly: "You really have so nerve. You actually built your base in this place?"
As he spoke, his gaze sharpened, and a bone-chilling cold radiated from his entire body as he stared expressionlessly at Ian. "Is the Umbrella Corporation insulting the World Governnt?!"
"Put the cold away. Don't you see there are children here?"
Facing the icy-faced Kuzan, Ian showed no concern at all and instead said irritably, "If they catch a cold, Robin will bla ."
Kuzan: "..."
Hearing Ian's words, Kuzan fell silent again.
Then, glancing at the small girl beside him, who was really trembling a little. He silently retracted the ice and sat down directly, returning to his leisurely deanor as he looked at Ian. "Children should wear more clothes."
Ian: "..."
Hearing Kuzan's words, Ian silently looked at him.
What nonsense was this guy talking about?
If you hadn't co over, would the child feel cold?
Ian raised an eyebrow but didn't say more. Instead, he looked at Kuzan with a aningful smile.
"It's been so long already that I was starting to wonder whether Marine Headquarters had discovered where our base was. Now it seems there's no need to wonder anymore. Marine Headquarters really does know!"
"It was only confird not long ago."
Kuzan didn't hide anything, shrugged, and said casually. "Before, there were just so guesses, but nothing certain. Now it seems..."
He sighed and looked at Ian just as aningfully. "You really are even bolder than Marine Headquarters thought."
"Only confird not long ago?"
Ian seed not to hear Kuzan's latter sentence at all. He frowned and pondered. "Because of the slave-catcher incident? Looks like the World Governnt issuing so many legal slave-catching permits wasn't just about catching slaves!"
"Maybe it really was just about catching slaves."
Kuzan said calmly. "After all, Umbrella Corporation's base has already been discovered, but the slave-catching incidents still haven't ended."
"Hahaha, that really is a headache!"
Ian had already heard the displeasure in Kuzan's tone, but he didn't say much. That displeasure was toward the World Governnt, not toward him. Why care so much?
He smiled at Kuzan and said curiously, "So, tell . What did you co to see for?"
"I didn't co to see you. I was just traveling through this sea area and happened to discover this place."
Kuzan explained perfunctorily.
After a brief silence, he then said in a cold tone: "Umbrella Corporation's boss, Ian the God of Sun... What were you plotting with the Beasts Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates in the Kingdom of Dressrosa?"
"Just that?"
Hearing Kuzan's words, Ian was stunned for a mont. Then, without caring about Kuzan's tone just now, he said casually: "Relax. We weren't plotting anything. The Beasts Pirates' captain, Kaido, ca to chat and drink with . As for the Whitebeard Pirates' captain, he ca to thank . Even though I kept saying I didn't take action in the Enies Lobby incident and I was busy fighting an Admiral, he just wouldn't believe it and insisted on thanking ."
He spread his hands and sighed. "There's nothing I can do."
"Is that so?"
Kuzan seed to accept this perfunctory answer. He nodded and even whistled. "That puts Marine Headquarters at ease. If the three major forces really joined hands, as an Admiral, I'd have quite a headache."
"Did Marine Headquarters send you to be a lobbyist?"
Ian raised an eyebrow, as if he had already understood sothing.
"Looks like Marine Headquarters is worried about us intervening in the public execution? But why didn't they let Garp co as the lobbyist this ti?"
"It's a critical mont right now. Fleet Admiral Sengoku is worried that if Vice-Admiral Garp is let loose, he'll secretly slip away and go on vacation. If, when the public execution happens, the Hero of the Marines isn't present, Marine Headquarters would be in quite a bind!"
Ian: "..."
No wonder Garp didn't co this ti!
Makes sense. With that old guy's personality, he really could do sothing like that.
If he were in a better mood, he might even co back only on the day of the public execution.
"Not getting involved, huh? I didn't expect to hear good news this ti!"
Kuzan nodded in satisfaction. Then his tone sharpened as he stared straight at Ian. "But since it has nothing to do with you, why did Umbrella Corporation assist the Straw Hat Pirates in escaping back then?"
"What do you an by assist?"
