Chapter 255 Islands in War
Generally speaking, pirates at the level of the Seven Warriors Sea have their own territory.
Krokdal runs his Baroque studio in Alabastan, Poyahancook has Nine Snake Island, Moonlight Molia has a huge terrifying three-masted sailboat in the Devil's Triangle, and even Hawkeye, the Mavericks, occupy Kraikana Island.
Yian also felt that it was time for him to occupy a piece of land and devote himself to developing for a while.
It is indeed not easy to get involved in the new world. It has only been a few months since Yian entered here. Since he does not want to rely on the Four Emperors, he must have the ability to gain a foothold alone here.
Because in addition to the Whitebeard Pirates, there are three other four emperors in the new world. No one knows when they will provoke the other four emperors. Kaido is simply a madman, BIGMOM is moody, and even Red-haired Shanks, who looks the best, Ian doesn't know what his temper and attitude he has.
So it seems that Yian and the others have nothing to do now, but in fact there are still many hidden dangers, which requires mental preparation to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
And if you can find a piece of land to develop for a period of time, this is excellent for the Dragon Hunter Pirates.
However, Yian has no idea for the time being. He is not familiar with the geography of the New World. Who knows which territory belongs to which force? If he occupies it rashly, there is a very likely big problem.
Moreover, Yian also considered that perhaps it would not take long before his identity as the Seven Warriors Sea would be recognized and announced by the world government. It would be not easy for a Seven Warriors Sea to settle within the sphere of influence of the Four Emperors of the New World.
As far as Ian knows, there is currently a seven-war world in the New World, it seems that only Doflamingo is the only one. The reason why Doflamingo can occupy a place in the New World is probably due to his cooperation with Kaido, the Baijin. After all, this guy is a famous dark broker among underground forces. Even Yian suspects that Doflamingo has actually secretly defected to the Baijin Pirates, because his nickname "joker" is simply one of the cards in the playing cards!
Of course, these are all Yian's guess and cannot be accurate, but it can also be seen from this that the Four Emperors have a great influence in the new world.
While the ship continued to sail, Yian found BABY-5.
Although this woman is from Doflamingo and is currently staying as a hostage in the Dragon Hunter Pirates. Due to her personality problems, Ian thinks that she should be someone who can instigate her, but Ian also knows that she cannot fully trust her now, so sometimes when discussing problems with Fujito, Ian will try to avoid her.
"You have been in the New World for so long with Doflamingo. You should be very clear about the situation in the New World, right?" Yian asked BABY-5: "Tell me, what other places in the New World are not occupied by other forces?"
BABY-5 did not refuse. She also knew that the man in front of her would soon become a big shot like her young master. So she thought about it and spoke to Yian: "Actually, I don't know much about it if I want to say detailed things. I can only say that in the new world, the more dangerous the island, the less likely it is to be occupied by others."
Yian nodded with some clarity. Indeed, what BABY-5 said was common sense. There are many islands in the new world, but there are not necessarily many islands that are suitable for living. These islands that can generate benefits have probably been divided up by the Four Emperors who have been entrenched in the New World for many years. If Yian wanted to occupy these islands as territory, it would be very likely to provoke the forces of the Four Emperors.
On the other hand, some more dangerous islands may not be necessary.
These dangerous islands are often the favorites of adventurers, but they are usually extremely prone to casualties and are not necessarily places where they can safely occupy the development power.
This made Yian understand why many new pirates who entered the new world from the first half of the Great Route would want to challenge the Four Emperors. In addition to gaining fame, they probably also have the feeling of challenging the old forces.
"Is it a more dangerous island?" Yian touched his chin and thought. In his impression, the one he could remember was probably Punk Hassad. The island was not far from the Red Clay Continent. It was originally a secret research institute of the Navy, but after a big explosion, the island was now full of poison gas. The Navy had already evacuated there. There were probably no people on this dangerous island now.
However, Ian also knew very well that Punkhassad would soon be occupied by Caesar, and then established a research institute on the island, and together with Doflamingo, secretly developed artificial devil fruits, and the raw material needed for artificial devil fruits is SAD here.
In theory, Ian is now in a cooperative relationship with Doflamingo. If he takes people to that island, it is actually OK. Caesar is a natural gas fruit. The ability of this fruit may be terrible to others, but for Ian, he doesn't care much about it. If he takes the Dragon Hunter Pirates there, he can expel Caesar.
Even if Ian is a little more confident, he can take the opportunity to play in Doflamingo's business and obtain those artificial devil fruits to improve his subordinates' abilities.
However, this thought flashed through Ian's mind and then gave up. Not to mention how Ian and the others have passed the location of Punk Hassad and how to turn around and return. Just talk about whether the artificial devil fruit has any disadvantages. Ian doesn't know that such things feel like copycats. If there is a problem with the quality, it will be a big trouble. The members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates are all his partners with him. Ian doesn't want them to have any problems.
Also, Yian also knew that Caesar not only used people to experiment with people, but also, such things, Ian, were afraid that Fujito would not tolerate them.
This guy even secretly cheated BIGMOM's research funds to squander. If he gets mixed up with him, when BIGMOM comes to cause trouble, he will not be able to clean up even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
Since there are so many disadvantages, Ian gave up on Punk Hassad.
Waving his hand to let BABY-5 leave, Yian found Margaret and asked her: "Which pointer is the most trembling pointer on the record pointer?"
Margaret didn't know what Ian wanted to do, so she took out the pointer and showed it to him, saying, "We have been moving along the smoothest pointer now, and it is probably about to arrive, and the other two pointers, one pointing to the southeast and the other pointing to the southwest."
Yian looked at it and found that the position where their ships were heading was actually the pointer in the middle. So he thought about it and said, "Okay, let's go to the island first to see which island it is and whether there is any force to occupy it. If so, we will replenish it and go to the other two islands to see!"
A suitable island is not that easy to find, Yian can only take a step forward for the time being.
Margaret was right. The next morning, Ian and his ships vaguely saw the land ahead.
In general, Yian and his team sailed smoothly. Maybe because the island's magnetic force is relatively stable and safer, so they did not encounter any bad weather along the way and arrived smoothly.
However, as he advanced all the way toward the island, Yian gradually realized something was wrong.
There are several places on this island where thick smoke is rising and scattering into the sky. As Yian and the others approach, they can hear the rumbling sound from afar.
"Is this... the sound of cannons?" The members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates surrounded the deck. Salding covered his eyes and looked forward, saying, "It seems that there is a war on this island!?"
The ships gradually approached the island, and even more tragic scenes appeared. Near the sea of the island, there were many broken sampans and some swelling corpses floating. These corpses had everything, including knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and even some had already become incomplete. The sea water around them emitted a faint red color, which was stained with blood at a glance. Under this sea area, a large number of bloodthirsty sharks and sea kings were madly stimulated by the smell of blood and were biting the corpses desperately.
This caused the situation when Yian and his team approached, and several huge sea kings rushed out of the water to attack Yian and his team. In order not to damage the ship, Yian and Fujito took action and killed some of them. The rest were bombarded by members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates and were injured and escaped.
"It's so miserable!" Zick looked at the corpses in the sea and said, "There may have been a naval battle here, and hundreds of people died."
"Can you tell who it is?" Yian asked.
"Some of the bodies look like pirates, but the other part looks like civilians!" Zick said: "Is this island now being robbed by pirates?"
After hearing this, Fujitu frowned. He couldn't see his eyes and could only sense that there were corpses around him. After hearing what Zike said, he asked, "Can those pirate flags be seen?"
"You can see that there are some floating on the water!" Zick replied, "But it looks like it belongs to several pirates and several different flags."
"Captain, do we want to go up and take a look?" Fujito asked.
"Of course!" Yian said: "I hope these pirates are not pirate groups under the command of the Four Emperors, otherwise we will be involved in trouble."
"I think it's unlikely!" Fujihu shook his head and said, "If these pirates were really under the command of the Four Emperors, those civilians would probably not have fought with them."
