Chapter 236: The Greatest Ideas
When Sengokus head was smoking, Ian and the Dragon Hunter Pirates were enjoying themselves.
When they learned that the Princess of Salamis turned out to be one of the slaves who had escaped with them from Marijoa, all the mbers of the Dragon Hunter Pirate Group imdiately regarded this country as their ho. After Ian healed his crew, he walked around the island.
In retrospect, after escaping from Marijoa and setting up their Pirate Group, the people on board, including Ian, seed to never have really rested with a relieved mind. They had been repeating only three things: fighting, escaping, and sailing. And this ti, after repelling the admirals pursuit, everyone took a deep breath and sighed happily. They knew that the Marines would not send more troops to hunt them down for the ti being.
So taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone planned to relax.
Margaret and a group of girls on the ship beca good friends with the princess Sally imdiately. Under her leadership, they wandered around the stores of Salamis every day, shopping and bathing in hot spring together While Ian sent his n to refresh themselves, so they kept on looking for all kinds of food, pubs, various entertainnt venues, and casinos in this country. Ian has given each of them a large amount of pocket money. They deserved it
So, what was our MC doing?
On Salamis Island, in the private beach of his majesty Carlos, the blue sea water gently washes the golden sand, and the stimulating wind blows on the tall coconut trees making a rustling sound. This was originally an extrely comfortable coastal scenery. However, in such a fine view, no one was swimming and enjoying the seawater, instead, a huge umbrella was planted nearby.
Under the parasol, there was a square table. Ian, Fujitora, Ace, and Marco have gathered around, shuffling mahjong tiles.
Thats right, this was the gambling ga that Ian promised to show to Uncle Fujitora. Among the various gambling gas in this world, there was no such thing like it.
This was why Ian doesnt like gambling, because besides playing mahjong, he doesnt understand other stud gas like Poker
Mahjong was too different
As long as he has the right materials, Ian can easily carve a whole set of mahjong. When he taught Fujitora how to play, who was filled with enthusiasm, and brought in Ace and Marco to join too, the four played a few gas as tutorials. After a couple of rounds, they imdiately fell in love with it, and got hooked
[This ga is played with a set of 144 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols, although so regional variations may omit so tiles or add unique ones. In most variations, each player begins by receiving 13 tiles. In turn, players draw and discard tiles until they complete a legal hand using the 14th drawn tile to form four lds (or sets) and a pair (eye). A player can also win with a small class of special hands.]
Fujitora was probably the happiest one, because mahjong was different from other gambling gas. In his case, he cant see the whole ga due to his blindness, but he can touch the mahjong tiles and figure out their content!
When getting used to it, Fujitoras movents when drawing the tiles were exactly like a veteran.
Fujitora drew a tile, rubbed it with his fingers gently, and then snapped it on the table, Pap! making a crispy noise, and then he laughed loudly: Two dots! I figured it out, Im going crazy! Its a sha that you all lost
He revealed his deck and put his tiles on the table. Amid the sighs of these three, he happily collected the money.
In the past, Fujitora used to gamble and lose most of the gas. In addition to his bad luck, he was often deceived because he couldnt see the results. But now when he played mahjong, he turned into a genius. In just a few rounds, Ian, Ace, and Marco have lost their will! It felt like Fujitora has collected the missing luck of his decades of gambling.
Now the one-month appointnt between Ian and Fujitoras bet has arrived, but Fujitora has never ntioned his departure. He has now completely accepted his identity as the deputy captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirate Group.
This made Ian wonder if he was worried about leaving, then not finding anyone to play mahjong with him!?
If he rembers correctly, Fujitora used to like gambling with dice, but now, Ian has successfully changed Fujitoras hobby
Not only Fujitora, but even Ace and Marco, although they were losing a lot and their faces turned dark, they still shuffled the tiles blatantly and continued the struggle.
On the beach, instead of enjoying the sun and the sea, they openly gambled under an umbrella. This was a very beautiful view, but they cant do anything about it. Except for Ian, all the rest around the mahjong table were Devil Fruit Users. None of them would dare to swim! So the so-called Royal private beach was just a background.
Red Dragon! While playing, Ian asked Ace: Hasnt you guys heard any news from the Marines?
No! Ace shook his head and said, A while ago, the Pirates guerrillas ca and gave Oyaji a Den Den Mushi. Then Zephyr contacted Oyaji once, but they didnt seem to have reached an agreent.
In the past few days, Ian learned about the detention of Zephyrs students, Ain and Binz. When he heard about this, he couldnt help laughing. In fact, in the beginning, Ian never thought about arresting these two, just to prevent them from making trouble and causing too many casualties to his crew, he knocked them down and left them.
It was only the latter thing, even Ian didnt expect that Baby-5 and Ace actually tied these students up and hid them
Ain and Binz, one has the power of the return fruit, the other has plant growth ability Ains ability was amazing and powerful, if it was possible, Ian thought about pulling them into his crew.
But unfortunately, he knew that this was impossible. The respect of Ain and Binz for Zephyr was unshakable.
Therefore, Ian put away this thought for the ti being, but after seeing these two, he left this matter to the whitebeard to deal with them.
Fortunately, Ain and Binz were honest and reasonable people. After knowing who they were dealing with, they let go of the thought of escaping. Now the entire Whitebeard Pirates were stationed on this island. They cant escape by any ans, maybe Zephyr also told them not to act recklessly and stay safe, so seeing them so cooperative, the whitebeard did not seize them and allowed them to move freely on the island he only ordered two people to follow them.
After hearing Aces answer, Ian nodded and did not say a thing. He guessed that at this ti, the Marines and the world governnt were also discussing solutions. After the last incident of Mainspring Island, the Whitebeard was so angry that he sent two of his teams to destroy a marine fortress. If the Whitebeard didnt get an explanation this ti and receive the compensation, it might not be as simple as a fortress.
Maybe all the forces of the Marines in New World would get evaporated by Whitebeard Pirates
This was probably the most important problem the Marines were facing right now. If they start chasing the Dragon Hunter Pirates again, then the Whitebeard will be provoked. At first, they had a simple task to catch a pirate group, however, not only did they fail achieving this goal, but also they aggravated the strongest man alive
At this ti, Marco opened his mouth and asked Ian, Ian, the thing you told us about, we tried it, and found that it was not effective
Oh? Ian imdiately beca interested when he heard it, and asked: How exactly?
After baby-5 caught Ain by mistake, Ian had a great idea at the ti. Although this ti, the Whitebeard ca forward to help him push back the Marines, mainly because of Aces pleading, but for Ian, this favor was significant, he had to find a way to pay it back, so he told Marco and the others about Ains ability
The Whitebeard was indeed getting old now, and his physical condition was deteriorating day by day so him getting better was what Marco and the other righteous sons were eager to see, therefore when they hear about Ains ability, the return fruit, their eyes shone.
Ians suggestion was to let Ain try to use her Ability once on the Whitebeard.
However, after Marco spoke, Ian realized that things were not as easy as he thought.
There were many reasons for the deterioration of the whitebeards body. Of course, age is the main factor, but in addition, there were so old injuries, and the other reason was the side effects of his Devil Fruit!
The injuries he suffered when he was young were still minor problems, but the most troubleso was the influence of his own fruit ability!
