After saying the words that he wanted to accept Ian as his adopted son, Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man stared at Ian tightly, trying to see his reaction.

The current Dragon Hunter Pirates, the total bounty of the captain and deputy captain has reached 1.15 billion Baileys, and Whitebeard also learned that the Dragon Hunter Pirates has now absorbed several demon fruit abilities. Although these people are not very strong now, they will gradually grow in time.

So for Whitebeard, the Dragon Hunter Pirates is a huge potential stock.

Since One Piece Roger was executed more than 20 years ago, only Whitebeard left in the same era as Roger. He knew very well that the Navy could not tolerate him, and sooner or later he would withdraw from this stage.

Although he was mentally prepared, Whitebeard was still a little unwilling to give up. As the Four Emperors, he had no intention of competing for power. Now his only wish was to be able to watch his sons and live a stable life. Such a wish was beautiful, but it was difficult to realize. Whitebeard knew very well that once he died, the Whitebeard Pirates would be hit by the navy.

Just like after Roger's death, the Navy has been chasing the crew members on Roger's ship until now...

Whitebeard fought with Roger for so many years, and even the enemy was an old friend. After Roger died, he lost a shield, and the navy's spearhead was pointed at him.

It is precisely because he knows the consequences after his death that Whitebeard has been trying to expand the power of his Pirates over the years. He wants to leave enough trump cards for the Whitebeard Pirates to protect his sons.

I have to say that Whitebeard is indeed a very good father. Even though his sons are just adopted sons and have no blood relationship with him, he treats these adopted sons more like a father than a real father...

Whitebeard was very pleased to be able to successfully impress Ace and make him his son, and through Ace, he met Yian again.

With the strength shown by Yian, no one would have any objection to sitting in a captain's seat among the Whitebeard Pirates. Moreover, the seat is probably still very forward. Whitebeard has a love for Yian, so she also wants to accept him as her adopted son.

Not to mention, Yian himself led a pirate group, and even his deputy captain was a person who could equally compete with the Navy General.

As long as the Dragon Hunter Pirates joins the Whitebeard, the Whitebeard Pirates will immediately expand their strength!

Therefore, he was very concerned about Yian's answer. When he issued this invitation, he specially called all the other team captains to be a witness.

However, Yian's answer disappointed him.

After hearing the invitation from Whitebeard, Yian smiled and shook his head and said, "Dad, thank you for your kindness, but I can't join your pirate group!"

He called Whitebeard "Dad" just because he and Ace are brothers and peers, just like calling Whitebeard "Big" when he saw an old man, but it doesn't mean that the other party is really your uncle. Yian admires Whitebeard's character very much, so he still uses a respectful title to him.

However, from the beginning, Yian had no intention of joining the Whitebeard Pirates.

After hearing Yian's answer, Marco and his team captains were a little surprised. Over the past period of time, Yian and their team captains have been getting along very well. They had long guessed the thoughts of the Whitebeard Dad, thinking that Yian would definitely not refuse, so today was originally planning to witness the birth of a new family member, but unexpectedly Yian refused!?

This made the captains suddenly feel commotion and communicate with each other in surprise.

Marco and the others were surprised, but the white beard was not necessarily the case. He just sighed slightly and said, "Sure enough..."

In fact, according to Whitebeard's temper, just like when he met Ace, he could have proposed to accept Yian as his son when he first met him.

However, when meeting Ian, Whitebeard saw from Ian's eyes that he and Ace were different.

At that time, Ace had the loneliness and desire hidden deep in her eyes, which could be seen at a glance by the white beard, so he understood that Ace was actually the same type of people as his sons. This was the reason why he directly extended his big hand to him when he saw Ace.

However, Yian's eyes were different. In Yian's eyes, there was something that the white beard could not say. His eyes were very gentle, but he had his own persistence. The white beard could not see the confusion in Yian's eyes.

So at that time, Whitebeard hesitated and did not immediately talk about this to Yian. Instead, it only invited him after several days.

He originally wanted to join Ian through his sons for a while and gradually join the group, but unexpectedly, he was still rejected.

As a time traveler, although Yian doesn't say anything, he still has his own arrogance in his heart. Although he can't guess how he will achieve in this world in the future, how could he be someone under someone else's command? What's more, he is in the way of adoptive son?

On the contrary, Ace was a little anxious. He was actually the one who wanted Ian to join the Whitebeard Pirates the most. Ace had few friends. Ian was the first friend he met after going to sea. He always wanted Ian to join his Spade Pirates. At that time, Ian did not agree because he was a pirate hunter. Finally, Ian had finally waited until now, and Ian became a pirate, but Ace also joined the Whitebeard Pirates, so he naturally wanted to bring him to join.

Ace's current psychology is actually very simple. He just wants to share with his friends and brothers if he has good things. Whitebeard's mind impressed him and made him completely recognize Whitebeard. He thought the Whitebeard Pirates was very good, so he wanted to share it with Yian.

So, he immediately asked, "Why? Ian, isn't it great for us to be in the same pirate group together?"

However, before Yian answered him, Whitebeard laughed first and said, "Ace, stop talking, you brother, have a big heart! He actually wants to cooperate with the Whitebeard Pirates as an ally, right?"

"I can't say that I'm going to cooperate!" Yian smiled and said, "Dad, thank you very much for helping the Dragon Hunter Pirates to rescue the siege. I have recorded this love. If you have any useful places in the future, please speak up!"

"Hmph, I misread you at that time, but I didn't expect that I was still an arrogant little guy!" Whitebeard snorted, grabbed a wine barrel with his big hand and twisted it gently, and took a sip of wine into his mouth as a wine glass, then wiped the wine from his mouth, and said, "I'm a whitebeard. When will you, a pirate group of dozens of people, be able to use you?"

"That's not necessarily!" Yian said with a smile: "It's always good to be prepared for any trouble!"

Whitebeard no longer gets into this issue. In fact, he also has many independent pirate groups under his command. In Whitebeard's opinion, Yian is probably just a person who can't bear to leave him, so he wants to become the same existence as the Independent pirate group.

Although Rayan was not able to join the group, Whitebeard didn't care much. The relationship between Ian and Ace was unexplained. There was this relationship between the Dragon Hunter Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, and it was indeed no different from that of allies.

After he poured the wine, he threw the barrel into the sea and laughed: "No matter what, while everyone is here, then hold a banquet!"

The Whitebeard Pirates on the Mobidick heard this and cheered.

For Marco and the others, although Ian did not become a family member, he was still a friend. He immediately surrounded him and pulled Ian and Fujito over.

Not only that, other members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates were also notified to come, which made the banquet look like a friendship organized by two pirates...

Ian followed Ace, Marco and a group of young people to drink and play, while Fujito gathered with Whitebeard and his group of older people.
