Ian suddenly decided to go to Sabaody Island for no reason. After thinking about what happened during this period of time, he found that he fell into the wrong thinking.
The situation of the Grand Line is totally different from the East Blue. The navigation on the Grand Line requires a Log Pose, and he could only travel from an island to the next. In this case, even if Ian catches a pirate, It is quite troublesome to get him to a marine base and receive the bounty. He still hasn"t figured out yet the location of the G-3 branch on this route!
This point, after Ian entered the Grand Line, he couldn"t see it for a long time. When Pixar was killed on Cactus Island, he wasn"t able to get his bounty.
Moreover, even if he finds the base of the G-3 branch, if he goes on and catches pirates, can he turn back to the branch again?
He needs to have a lot of Eternal Poses, so he can travel freely on the Grand Line…
This kind of route, which is destined to go only in a straight line, was specially set for the adventurers. If Ian wants to be a pirate hunter, then there are so many islands in the Grand Line that could really help him, in fact, Sabaody Archipelago is only one of them!
Not only is it close to the Marine headquarters, but it"s also the convergence point of all the paths. All kinds of pirates will eventually gather there. Ian can wait for them to come there, then catches them like rabbits, and he won"t be thinking a way of getting his reward because the Marine Headquarters is close and convenient.
Only Sabaody Archipelago can be stated as Ian"s true paradise…
Therefore, it"s a good thing for him to meet Hina here. She must have the Eternal Pose of marine headquarters "The Marineford". Ian can tag along in her boat directly to Sabaody Archipelago.
That"s why Ian stayed here with Hina and went on a separate path with Ace. One is to prove to Hina with practical actions, and making sure that she won"t file a report asking for a bounty on his head. The other is to go directly to Sabaody Island by staying at the marines" ship.
It"s not just the difference in ident.i.ties of him and Ace, even though he was a pirate. Ace can take risks and keep adventuring from island to island. If he has money, he could keep moving forward. However, Ian couldn"t do the same. The growth of his strength depends on a lot of money. So, unfortunately, he has to skip these, for sure, fun adventures.
Of course, there are many unknown factors in Sabaody Island. It"s under the sight of the headquarters. There are the heads of Marines, not only the Admirals, but also Celestial Dragon. If Ian doesn"t get careful enough and gets entangled in something he shouldn"t be involved with, will it lead him to any troubles? Etc… That"s why Ian needs to act swiftly.
In any case, going to Sabaody Island is the best option for Ian. (The perfect place to grind xD)
After listening to his words, Hina did not speak for a while. It seemed that she was weighing the gains and losses. After all, Ian was not a marine. She was asked to let a non-marine to board one of her own warships. Hina didn"t know if something would go wrong.
In the end, Hina said, “Well, it"s a reward for saving my life, but your range of activities must be limited! There are some confidential positions on the warship, and you can"t approach them! “
“That"s fine with me!” Ian smiled.
Although at the time, when he was in the East Blue, he took a marine ship in the name of swordsmanship instructor, but it was not the same as it is now. This is a standard warship of the Marine Headquarters. Such a Battleship even allowed him before to get aboard as an outsider.
It"s a great honor for Ian. It"s also a reason why he is determined to maintain his ident.i.ty as a pirate hunter. He could have a little more or less relationship with the Marines. If he really became a pirate, he might stay on this ship, only as a prisoner…
This time, it was considered that he have reached an agreement with Hina, which made Ian very happy. It seems that he has constantly been tagging along with various ships, merchant ships, pirate ships, and now marine warships.
"I don"t know when I"ll have a boat of my own…"
That night, Hina arranged a room for Ian. The room was very small. It should be a room for a soldier. Although the warships of the Marine headquarters are huge, it has a large number of people on board, so it"s natural that the rooms are so small. Ian could only take it for granted.
Both Hina and Ian tacitly didn"t mention the incident when they fell into the seawater. Similarly, the incident about the Kairoseki (Seastone) shackles was also not mentioned. Ian used the Kairoseki (Seastone) shackles to take advantage of Hina at that time, which led to the smooth escape of Ace. It was a very humiliating thing for her. She could not return the manacles to Ian.
Ian felt that it was not a big deal. When fighting with Ace, he discovered that his Nen and the Haki can be similarly effective for the Devil Fruit Users, Ian was not interested in using the Kairoseki again.
It"s not that efficient to keep using these handcuffs every time he encounters a Devil Fruit User. How could he gain experience or upgrade his proficiencies in that way?
In this way, the night pa.s.sed. The next morning, when Ian got up, he heard the news that the marines had caught up with the warship Ace took last night.
For such a huge warship, Ace"s manpower could barely drive it away. So, halfway through, Ace and his crew changed ships, drove away in a small boat, damaged the mast of the warship, and left the warship in place. The marine soldiers were tied up by the pirates, but they were unharmed.
After hearing the news, Hina was relieved and relaxed, as well as Ian.
Of the three warships Hina brought out this time, only one was in good condition. The other two, one had a big hole made by Ace"s Fire Fist, and the mast of the other ship has also been destroyed. So they are obligated to go back and repair them…
Therefore, the marine force began to follow the guidance of the Eternal Pose, thinking about the return to the Marine headquarters.
Ian didn"t know how long it would take them to return, but he was not in a hurry. When he got free every day, he exercised swordsmanship and practiced his abilities on the deck of the marine.
Two days later, Hina found Ian on board and gave him a wanted poster.
On it, it was a picture of Ace, Ian didn"t know where or how the Marines took it. But at this time, they didn"t seem to know the full name of Ace, so it only said “Fire Fist Ace!”
And the amount written on his wanted poster was 90 million Berries!
Ian looked at Hina in surprise. He didn"t understand why Ace had such a high bounty as soon as he became wanted.
"He is a Logia Devil Fruit User!" Hina explained to Ian with a cigarette in her mouth. "So the department attached great importance, plus when I reported him, I also said that he had used the Haoshoku Haki. So when his bounty was finally decided, it turned out to be so high! Hina is shocked, too."
“Ninety million! Hmm!” Ian looked at this bounty with excitement and said, “d.a.m.n it, I really want to catch him now!”
“In this case, Hina will be glad to see that!”
“That"s right!” Ian suddenly thought of a question and turned to Hina and asked, “If we say… I mean, if they Marines put a bounty on my head, how much would it be?”
