Ian was not wrong. Shanks came out this time because Hawkeye met him and went to see Shanks. This made Shanks come to find Ian.

However, it is really a coincidence that I would meet Ian in St. Poplar, not Shanks's prediction.

History actually showed a deviation again when Ian decided to pursue Blackbearded Ditch with Ace. If Ace had pursued Ditch alone, Shanks would finally choose to meet Whitebeard Edward Newgate and tell his dad about Blackbeard's danger. At the same time, he hoped that Whitebeard could recall Ace and told him not to continue chasing Blackbeard.

The last time Ace found Shanks, she thanked Shanks for saving Luffy. She knew Shanks, but even with such a relationship, Shanks did not think of finding Ace directly and asking him to give up the pursuit. This is because Shanks knew that Ace was a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the only person who could make him give up the pursuit was Whitebeard. Even if he came forward to find Ace, he could not stop.

So Shanks originally planned to set off and go to the New World to find Whitebeard Daddy. Shanks even knew that Ace was chasing Blackbeard with Ian, and he had never changed this idea.

The reason is very simple. At that time, Shanks and Ian didn’t know each other at all. In addition, Ian’s identity as the Seven Warlords Sea, he was afraid that he would backfire.

However, when Hawkeye's friend came to her and told Shanks about the relationship between him and Ian, Shanks changed his plan.

Those who can become the Four Emperors all have their own pride. Shanks knows the character of Whitebeard very well. He knows that if he, as a junior, finds Whitebeard, may not necessarily listen to him. In the absence of really no choice, Shanks will choose to meet Whitebeard on the road, but now he has a better choice, that is, to use the relationship between Hawkeye and Ian to meet Ian and Ace.

Shanks knew that Ian almost joined the Whitebeard Pirates, and Ace was a close friend and brother. If she could persuade Ian, she might also let Ace give up her plan to hunt down Blackbeard.

This is why he suddenly went out to sea. His abnormal movement was startled by the naval ships monitoring them, and he hurriedly reported the movement of the Red-Haired Pirates to the Navy Headquarters.

However, Shanks had limited knowledge of Ian at that time. His deeds about Ian, the Seven Warlords Sea, all came from hearsay. Although he knew that Ian had once fought with the Navy general and had no idea why he became a Seven Warlords Sea, he had never really met Ian after all, and he had no idea about Ian's strength at all.

In his opinion, even if Ian and Ace chased Blackbeard together, there is a high possibility that something might happen, because the Blackbeard man was too sinister.

However, what surprised Shanks was that when he was halfway through and was about to approach Santin Island in Alabama, a news suddenly came, saying that Ian and Ace had successfully captured the Blackbeard Pirates and had handed it away by the Whitebeard Pirates!

This news must have made Shanks quite depressed, because this matter was a little beyond his expectations.

Blackbeard was arrested. After Shanks repeatedly confirmed that the news was true, his purpose of finding Ian and Ace was naturally ruined. So after thinking about it, Shanks could only decide to continue to wait and see the development of the situation. At the same time, because he learned that Ian and the others had set off and left Alabastan, Shanks had to turn and leave.

This is why in the Navy's report, the Red-Haired Pirates "suddenly turned around"...

At that time, Ian and his sailing route were originally from Gaya Island, but Shanks lost the purpose of finding Ian, so naturally he could not go to Gaya Island. It happened that their ship, Red Foss, accidentally hit a reef during their voyage, causing a little damage to the bottom of the ship. So after turning around, Shanks brought the Red-haired Pirates to St. Poplar Island, and he wanted to buy some high-quality wood here to repair the Red Foss.

However, Shanks himself did not expect that during his time voyage to St. Poplar, Ian's ship did not go to Gaya Island, but was unfortunately taken in by Luffy's guy's Sky Island adventure, and actually followed Luffy and the others to the Sky Island. When he returned, because he seized the Ark Proverbs of Anilu, he had a deviation on the route and actually landed on the route of St. Poplar Island!

Before, Shanks had never noticed the pirate flag hanging on the Ark Proverbs. He was only attracted by the gold-made ship, but his deputy captain Ben Bankman, the handsome uncle holding a pipe, noticed this and then told Shanks.

The ship of the Dragon Hunter Pirates suddenly appeared here, which was really surprising for Shanks. He made a special search but couldn't meet it. He no longer wanted to find it, but he encountered it again. This can only be said to be a joke of fate.

However, no matter what, since I met here, Shanks decided to meet Ian. He was also very curious about Ian, because his friend Hawkeye, who had been alone, suddenly appeared with a junior nephew, but he came to him for a drink. He looked very happy, so Shanks naturally wanted to meet Ian.

After sitting down, listening to Shanks telling this story, Ian finally realized that these things had happened to him and Ace after leaving Alabastan.

Looking at the red-haired uncle in front of him who laughed from time to time, Yian felt really strange.

Although Red-haired Shanks is the Four Emperors, he is actually very easy-going in his usual personality. He didn't even mention the fact that Enilu attacked him just now. He seemed to have no intention of taking it seriously.

Ian could understand this, because in his impression, when Red-haired Shanks was provoked by a group of bandits when he was in Fengmill Village, Donghai, he still looked like he was smiling.

But this does not mean that the Red Hair is harmless, but because of these provocations, he will not care as long as he does not touch Shanks' bottom line.

This seemingly stingy personality made Yian feel very familiar, because it seemed that Luffy had such a personality.

Luffy may have been influenced by Shanks' personality, so who has influenced Shanks' personality? Ians thought about it and thought that there was only one person who could do this, that is One Piece Gol d. Roger!

Thinking of Roger, Yian suddenly remembered someone, that is Rayleigh, Pluto!

Uncle Reilly, is he okay? Yian suddenly missed him a little.

As the deputy captain of One Piece, Rayley actually mentioned Shanks to Ian at the beginning, so Ian couldn't help but say to Shanks: "That... Brother Shanks... I'll call you like that. Uncle Rayley once mentioned you to me..."

Puff! Shanks was originally holding the beer brought by Matthew and was squirting it out, but after hearing Ian's words, he spit it out!

"Cough! Cough!!" Shanks coughed a few times before then he raised his head and looked at Ian in surprise and said, "You...who did you say just now?"

"Uncle Reilly! Pluto Reilly!" Yian repeated.

Shanks looked at Ian in disbelief: "Where did you hear this name?"

"Uncle Reilly told me by himself!" Yian reacted after he finished speaking and said, "Oh! By the way, you are afraid you haven't seen Uncle Reilly for a long time, right? So you may not know that I have become Uncle Reilly's disciple before!"

Shanks was really shocked at this time. He had never expected that Ian was Rayley's disciple!?

He has indeed not seen Rayley for many years, because after Rayley was disbanded, he has been living in seclusion on Shambodian Island. Shanks has never approached the island due to his identity. After all, there is a Navy headquarters. Once he appears, he may be waiting for him to be a large number of naval warships...

"That...and, Luffy has mentioned you to me!" Yian seemed to think he was not shocked enough, and then said, "My junior brother Zoro is in Luffy's pirate group, and Luffy is Ace's younger brother. This time we stayed together on Sky Island..."

Shanks was completely stunned at this time. He never expected that there was such a deep connection between Ian and him, besides the Hawkeye relationship!

It is impossible to describe Shanks' mood at this time. He originally thought that the two should be very strangers, but after chatting like this, he suddenly realized that the other party was just the same feeling as his group. This was really amazing!

Shanks finally knew why Ian called him elder brother just now. Shanks is only about 37 years old now, and Ian is only 20 years old. In addition, after the two of them have such a deep connection, it is really okay to call him elder brother...

"Wow hahaha!" After Shanks came to his senses, he burst into laughter. If he had known this was the case, then why should he have looked at it so much before, and he should have found Yian to drink with him.
Chapter completed!
