Chapter 92: On a pirate ship
A day later, on the boundless sea, a ship was sailing.
This was a dium-sized sailing ship with a single mast. A black pirate flag was hung on the top of the mast. The pattern of the pirate flag was a normal grinning skull and crossbones wearing Aces signature hat, which has two smileys, one smiling and the other frowning. The background of the skull was a spade, and the word SPADE is beneath it.
Thats right. This was the Jolly Roger of the Spade Pirates.
On the ship, Ian was looking forward to him sitting on the deck, arms folded together, squinting at Ace in front of him.
And Ace having a smile on his face, he didnt care about Ians look, and said, Answer ! Are we good here?
Ian raised his hand and said, Enough! Enough with this madness. Stop saying such bullshit! Do you really want
to call you Captain Ace now?
What the hell is going on? This started after they put out the fire yesterday.
At that ti, Ian could only run with Ace, who was dragging him, because of his lack of strength. He thought that Ace was just taking him away from the fire site. However, what surprised Ian was that Ace finally ran all the way to the port!
He didnt know where he got such a dium-sized ship, which was used as his pirate ship. When they arrived at the port, he threw Ian on the ship, and then ordered his crew to start sailing!
Ian was stunned at the ti. When the ship left the port, he ca back to his senses and asked Ace about what hes doing.
As a result, Ace told him straightforwardly that Ian would be his Deputy Captain!
At that ti, Ian had the feeling of a kidnapped dog!
However, Ian was in a weak period. He has no strength to swim back to the Cactus Island. He could only watch the boat sail farther and farther.
In the following period, Ace kept pestering Ian, asking him to accept being the Deputy Captain.
Now there were only seven mbers of the spade pirate crew, including Ace. The other six mbers were those who have been following him. They witnessed Ians chopping down the roof of the warehouse building at that ti and were shocked by his strength. So when they heard that Ace asking him to join as the Deputy captain, all the mbers of the spade pirates raised their hands cheering for Ian.
But Ian was angry. That guy, Ace, took him on the boat without even asking for his agreent. He wanted to stay on the Cactus Island for two more days. After all, Bill was still on the Island, and Ian has to tell him that Roland Gail died. Many things havent been solved yet, and he was dragged out to the sea by Ace.
Now, when Ian was out of his weak period, the ship was already in the vast sea. Where can he find a way back to the Cactus Island?
Ace sotis looks silly and funny like Luffy, but actually, he is very smart. He used this thod, forcing Ian to stay on his boat.
This was really a pirate ship!
So now, Ian was getting so angry at Ace! How could he agree to this request?
Captain Ace, Master Ian, have your breakfast! At this ti, Jimmy, one of the mbers of the spade Pirate Group, who was a cook on the ship, brought two plates of food to them.
Now on the ship, the mbers of the spade Pirates call Ace the Captain and Ian, the Master. It seems that in their eyes, Ian was the Deputy Captain of the ship by default.
This made Ian very helpless, so he refused to talk and began eating his food.
Not to ntion, Chef Jimmys craftsmanship was really good. Ian could figure out why Ace wants to be a partner with these guys.
At this ti, Ace was also eating. These two had bulging cheeks: You are my good friend of mine. Why are you un unwilling to be my de deputy captain?
Ian looked at him with an expressionless face and said, Dont talk when you eat!
Oh! Sorry! Ace bowed his head politely and apologized.
So they ate in silence. When they finished eating, Ian threw away the tableware. Then he said to Ace, its not that I dont want to be your deputy captain, but I cant beco a pirate. If I have the identity of a pirate, it would be so inconvenient for
to do many things.
Yeah, in fact, it doesnt matter to Ian whether he is a pirate or a marine or a pirate hunter, because he is very clear that, with his own personality, even when he beca a pirate, he will not be that kind of vicious pirate. Similarly, when he beca a marine, he will not be scum like Captain Nezumi, as long as he can keep his consciousness, everything would be the sa.
In-ga terms, Ian is actually a neutral and orderly camp.
But when everything doesnt matter, it also depends on the situation. For him, at this stage, he must find a way to make easy money. If he went with the marines, he is strong enough to stay on the top, but he cant necessarily get a lot of money, because its like the Marines duty and obligation to catch pirates. He wont be able to get their bounties, he can only get achievents and upgrade his rank. And that wont work for him either if he beca a pirate. Ian is not willing to beco a robber and a bad pirate, and he will be only relying on adventuring and looking for the treasure. If anyone can find the treasure easily, there may be no pirates in the world.
After all, the status of a pirate hunter cant be lost temporarily. It may change in the future, but its definitely not now.
Ian was very pleased with Aces request. He knows that it is impossible for Ace to make such an invitation if he does not really regard him as a true friend and partner.
But just as Ian asked Ace not to be a pirate when they first t, and Ace could not agree. And now it is the sa, Ian also could not agree to the fact that he turns into a pirate.
So Ian told Ace about his situation and why he couldnt be a pirate.
After hearing Ians words, Ace finally stopped insisting and respected his decision.
However, Jimmy, the cook who has been listening to them, suddenly said, Sir Ian, you are not turning into a pirate, just to earn money, are you? However, if you can beco a Shichibukai, you can be both!?
Ian stared at Jimmy with sorrow.
What the Hell! This makes sense! Why havent I thought about it?
Ian didnt really think about this before. He just thought he couldnt be Pirate, or he wouldnt be able to get bounties from the Marines, but he never thought of this. If he could beco a mber of Shichibukai, that would actually be the sa as being a pirate hunter, because Shichibukai was originally the ans of the governnt to check and balance the Pirates, Pirates captured by the Shichibukai, can also be used to receive their bounties, which was admitted by the World Governnt.
Of course, if he wants to be Shichibukai, the premise was that he could defeat one and get his place. Ian doesnt know powerful is he now, and how much he is strong compared with the Shichibukai. It looks like their strength was also high and low, with Hawk Eyes Mihawks Strength can be tied to Shank, one of the Four Emperor (Yonko). If he uses him as a comparison, Ian is not qualified now.
So, although Jimmys words were reasonable, Ian was not going to think about it for the ti being.
Now that hes already on Aces ship, hell just go with Ace anywhere. If he was alone, he wouldnt be able to sail. However, as Ace delayed on the Cactus Island for recruiting partners, his Log Pose has been full of the special magnetic waves. It could point to the next Island. If he moves forward, he can go to the next Island smoothly.
Ian asked them, and Jimmy said it would take about seven days to get to the next Island.
Such a long ti cant be wasted, so Ian said to Ace: Co and fight !
In fact, its sothing Ian had thought of doing for a long ti. Ace has eaten the Fla-Fla fruit. This idea ca as to make great progress and advance rapidly in Aces skills. Ace wasnt familiar with the abilities of the Fla-Fla fruit, and Ian intended to take this opponent to practice on his and level up faster!
As long as he can beat him, Ian can get a lot of experience, which is much better than taking Zoro to practice in Frostmoon Village.
In addition, there is another advantage of fighting with Ace, that is, accumulating early experience with Logia Devil Fruit User. When Ian was in Loguetown, although Ian battled twice with Smoker, but Smokers Fruit Abilities were less offensive and more inclined to control, which was totally different from Aces Fla-Fla Fruit.
Ian knows that Haki is sothing that everyone is born with, so he definitely has the potential of Haki, but it has not been developed. At present, all he uses is his Nen abilities. If he fights with a Logia Fruit User like Ace, he can also take a good look at it and see what difference between Nen Abilities and Haki.
At the sa ti, in this way, Ace can be familiar with his Fla-Fla Fruit Abilities as soon as possible
After hearing Ians proposal, Ace was also excited. In fact, the fight he fought with Ian in Loguetown was not serious. Now, seeing Ians serious face, Ace knew that it was going to be serious.
Lets fight! Ace clenched his right hand and put it in front of his chest, opened his left palm with blazing flas on his five fingers, and posing his signature posture
