Chapter 266: Raijin Ind
The sudden change of Ians identity has brought the biggest impact on the inders and the pirates around, and they were very anxious!
Thats right, theck of understanding of this pirate groups nature made the fourteen pirate groups on the ind have no idea about Ians character. When he was just a pirate, everyone maintained a neutral attitude
However, when Ian became a Shichibukai, no one can guarantee that he wont kill all the pirates on the ind and then receive their bounties.
Theres a saying that one mountain cannot amodate two tigers. Now theres a fearless beast wandering on the ind. If Ian deres this ind as his first territory due to the change of identity, the pirate groups who are willing to stay there will start getting into trouble.
So, the first coward has appeared, and that was, one-eyed, Polly who had experienced Ians Tremor. He had a taste of Ians terrifying power, so when he saw the news, he immediately summoned his crew and nned to get as far as possible from this ce
Its a good thing to earn easy money, but I must be alive to get a chance to spend it! One-eyed Polly said to the other captains: This is not the only ce where I can earn money? Why do I have to make it under the nose of a Shichibukai? Cant you see it? Its just because of the existence of our pirate groups that king Varua didnt want to hire the Dragon Hunter Pirate Group. We have already blocked a very beneficial business for this group. If we dont leave now, we will be just asking for our demise!
But with so many pirates in our fourteen groups, dont we have the strength topete with the Dragon Hunters? A captain was not willing to leave, so he said.
Haha, you are kidding, right!? For this problem, the other captains could not help giving such a disdainfulugh.
Dont they know what a Shichibukai means? Shichibukai refers to a person with disastrous destructive power and great fighting strength that can rival a whole country. Although there were thousands of people in these groups, most of them havent awakened their Haki or even have Devil Fruit powers. How can theypete with the Dragon hunting Pirate Group? (T/N: Ian should farm this Free XP!)
As a result, some captains quickly discussed the matter, and soon reached a conclusion. On the same day, they gathered their own men and then left the ind in a hurry and scattered around.
In a blink of an eye, arge number of the pirates on this ind disappeared, and Ian soon got the news.
It seems that Shichibukais deterrence is also useful! Nana sighed, and said to Ian: With their departure, our n will be implemented.
Its a pity most of these pirates are stained with innocents blood. Sadly they left without paying for their deeds! Yardi said.
Fujitora smiled slightly and said, Then, let this old man go after them, even though Im not a bloodthirsty person. It is still possible to catch them and send them to the Marines!
Ian didnt like these pirates either, so he didnt stop Fujitora. He just told him, Uncle Issho, remember to bring back their bounties! Dont spear any one of them! So many bounties! $-$
The crewmates around burst outughing. In fact,pared to the nickname given to Ian by the Marines, everyone who had been with him for a long time found that the nickname Money-grubber was more suitable for Ian.
After Fujitora left to hunt down the escaped pirates, Nana said, As soon as these pirates leave, Varua wont sit still, right?
Yeah, he maye to us sooner than we thought! Ian said.
Its reasonable that when a Shichibukai appears in his country, as a king, he shoulde to meet Ian. This is one of Shichibukais privileges, plus the king must respect the other side.
Moreover, due to the recognition of the World Government, a Shichibukai who knows how to act can even be a hero of the ind, just like Crocodile in basta.
Ian and the others were not mistaken. At this time, in his pce, Varua was so concerned about the situation.
Most of the 14 pirate groups left without saying goodbye, eeeto I mean without a notice XD which made Varua lose most of his manpower.
Obviously, these pirate groups were all a bunch of cowards, but still, there were a lot of them. Each Pirate Group has about 200 people. The 14 pirate groups add up to nearly 3000 members, and they were all armed.
So with the help of these pirates, Varua was able to suppress the miners riot.
After all, although these rebels were just ordinary people andcked weapons, they have a scale of 20,000 people. In this small country with a poption of more than 200,000, these 20,000 miners were all adult men.
The situation of Varuas side was very bad now. He still controls a force of more than a thousand people, which was the force he formed from the backbone of his pirate regiment But this manpower can only defend his pce at most. He wants to suppress the rebellion, but he cant do it alone. In this case, he has to find new foreign aid.
However, when there is a Shichibukai on his ind and he refuses to leave, Varua wont be able to hire any mercenaries, even if he was willing to pay more money, unless he can find the pirates of the Four Emperors!
Now Ian was so imperious. As long as he is on this ind, most of the pirates wont dare to provoke him!
This was the source of Varuas anxiety. With the departure of arge number of pirates from this ind, the rebel army has begun to stir up. However, he still has some scruples about the Dragon Hunter group.
Although Varua didnt know why he was staying on the ind, his instinct told him that the other party was probablying for the Thunderstone.
In the pce on the ind, a man wearing a gorgeous crown was moving back and forth anxiously in his office. This man looked old, and he is the current king of this country, Varua.
Eight years ago, he was still a pirate known as The Ripper, but earlier, he was working with Vegapunk in a research institute!
Varuas appearance was very shady. He has a very prominent hooked nose. However, the most impressive thing is the densely packed scars on his face!
He got these scars when he escaped from the Research Institute. In that year, the world government suddenly sent the Marines to attack the Research Institute and arrested Vegapunk. The rest of the scientists, some escaped and the others were arrested, but they werepletely disbanded.
Varua didnt want to be captured by the Marines, so he chose to hide at that time. Originally, he wanted to hide in a secret ce until everything is over. However, what he didnt know was that when the Marines were evacuating, they bombarded most research facilities. Varua survived the explosion, but his face was distorted, a total mess.
Fortunately, the disfigured appearance also helped him conceal his true identity. In the beginning, the Marines did a good job searching for the scientists who fled. Taking advantage of the disfigured appearance, Varua sessfully escaped the subsequent hunt, and then used a pseudonym to go out to sea as a pirate.
However, his identity as a scientist could make it hard for him to be a pirate. So after disguising, he set up a pirate group and looted a lot of funds, so he finally decided to find a country and hide then continue his researches
When he was in the Research Institute, Varua was looking for sources of energy. At that time, he had a good rtionship with Vegapunk, and thetter was already working on a cyborg project at that time. Varua was assisting him in the energy development of the project.
Now, although the research institute has been disbanded, Varua came to this ind and started working on his old business again. After bing the king, he owned most of the wealth of the country. So he rebuilt hisboratory in the basement of the pce and began to study Thunderstone.
Thunderstone was discovered by ident when he was passing by the ind. After giving up being a pirate, he returned to take over the ind and began to research it.
Speaking of the Thunderstone, I have to mention the situation of the other inds on the sametitude, after leaving Smis Ind, the Log Pose pointed to the three next inds, the one in the middle is the ind they are currently at, but the one in the right direction was the famous <strong>Raijin</strong>Ind in the New World!
