Chapter 233 One Flag Shelters One Country

Ian didn't forget his purpose of coming to Ace this time, so he asked Ace who was supporting him in a low voice, "Ace, have you seen Tickey?"

At this time, Marshall D. Titch didn't seem to have the title of Blackbeard. It seemed that he got the name after he reversed the Whitebeard group, so Ian directly said his name.

"Titch?" Ace was stunned when he heard the name, and then said: "Oh, I remember, it's that guy. I've seen him on the boat. He seems to be a good guy."

Ian nodded and confirmed his guess. Titch appeared here with White Beard, indicating that White Beard had called him back after the Clockwork Island incident. Then Ace and him had definitely met.

However, from Ace’s answer, Ian found that Titch seemed to be very disguised. Titch had been in the White Beard Pirates for a long time, always pretending to be honest and heroic. His ambition was deeply hidden, not only deceived others, even Ace, a newcomer who had just joined, seemed to have a good impression of him.

"Ian, have you seen Tickey?" Ace asked as he helped Ian walk.

"Yes, I saw it when I was on Clockwork Island!" Ian said, feeling the stinging blessing all over his body. Ian was supported by Ace and is very close now, so he whispered to Ace: "Listen to me. , Ace, you have to be careful of Titch, he is not as simple as the surface!"

Ace frowned and said, "But, I feel that the other person is good, the atmosphere in the White Beard Pirates, I also really like..."

Ian shook his head and said, "Ace, have I harmed you?"

"No!" Ace smiled: "You and I are brothers, how could it hurt me? By the way, if I have a chance to see Luffy in the future, I will introduce him to you, and I believe he will also like you as a big brother. of!"

Ian smiled and said, "Let's talk about it, but Ace, I must pay attention to it!"

"Well, okay!" Ace nodded, "I will pay attention to that guy."

Hearing what he said, Ian was also a little relieved, but he had to forget it carefully, knowing that Ace might still have to spend two years with Tickey, the black beard with a deep mind, during this time I am afraid that I will use my performance to wipe away Ace's vigilance against him bit by bit. Maybe in the end, Ace will feel that Ian is more concerned.

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but frowned, thinking about how to solve this problem.

It is impossible for him to join the Whitebeard Pirates. Joining the Whitebeard Pirates means to recognize Whitebeard as a father, but Ian has his own parents, even after he came to this world, he still met The two masters of Koushiro and Leili, he also has sister Guina, and the younger brother Sauron, and their relatives are still there, so unlike Ace’s lack of father’s love, psychologically Ian cannot accept others as Dad's.

Ian admits that White Beard is indeed very good. He really treats Ace and the others as his sons. If Ian is really that kind of poor person, maybe he really follows White Beard and regards the brothers of the Pirates as his family. It’s a good home to look at it the same way.

The problem is, Ian is not.

If history does not show much deviation, then two years later, that is the time when Luffy went to sea, Titch would kill the fourth team captain Saatchi because of the desire to snatch the dark fruit, and then betrayed the white beard sea. Thieves.

Two years, since Ian didn't want to join the Whitebeard Pirates, it was impossible to stay with Ace for two years.

Moreover, Ian didn't know when the dark fruit appeared, so it was impossible for him to return at that time.

There was only another way to think about it. Ian glanced at the white beard who was walking in front of him. He felt that it was not the time to talk with Ace at this time, so he had to leave it alone for now.

As for the idiot Ace, he didn't know that Ian was worrying about his affairs, and he happily told Ian about the things he had encountered during this time.

When everyone left the port and entered the city of the Principality of Salamis, the place of the previous battle became empty, the trainee reporter Pritz, then stood up tremblingly and ran away quickly.

Today’s scene is too exciting for him as an intern reporter who has just debuted. Fortunately, no one like him will trouble him, and because of this once-in-a-lifetime report, he is going to make a big splash in the future. Up.

Pritz was gone, but what he didn't know was that just after he left, another figure appeared here.

This figure looks very mysterious. His whole body is covered in a green cloak. The cloak's hood covers his head tightly.

He stood on the spot, looking at the mess around him that had been destroyed by the fighting, and couldn't help but smile.

"Bear, it seems that you are worrying for nothing. This little guy is more capable than we thought..." The mysterious man whispered to himself, then moved his feet and left slowly.

A slight sea breeze blew and stroked his hood, revealing part of the mysterious person's face. On his left face, there was a strange scaly tattoo...

………………………………

After walking into the city, Ian knew just how prestigious the Whitebeard Pirates was in this country.

In the Navy’s propaganda, the pirate White Beard is terrible. This strongest man is often used by some mothers to frighten crying children, telling them that if they cry again, White Beard is coming!

However, this refers to a situation that only occurs in some countries that are members of the world government. In Salamis, the situation is reversed.

Baibeard has ridden the sea for decades, and has met all kinds of people, and he is not a person with bad temper and perverse personality, so in this life, he has also made a lot of friends, the king of Fishman Island. Cavaliers Neptune is not the only example.

Of course, the so-called white beard friends are almost like him now, they are old old men.

Under the escort of the Salamis Principality Guard, White Beard appeared on the streets of this city. After being discovered by people hiding at home, the crowd suddenly flooded out.

"Father!? Look, it's really daddy!"

"The White Beard Pirates! It's the White Beard Pirates!"

"Gosh, Salamis is really saved!"

"Marko, and Marco the Phoenix!"

"That person is Firefist Ace? He is also a member of the Whitebeard Pirates now, great!"

The people of the Principality of Salamis, although they are still in awe of the white beard, they are also warmly welcoming the arrival of the white beard pirates. They shouted the white beard and called the names of the captains of the various squads that followed him. The noise of noise rushed straight into the sky.

Ian watched this scene in a bit of astonishment. I really couldn't believe that this was welcoming a big pirate, watching the hehe smiles of the old people around the street, and the young girls screaming excitedly. It seems to welcome the arrival of a hero!

"Weird?" Marco noticed Ian's expression and said with a smile: "Don't doubt, for this country, Daddy is a hero!"

"What's going on?" Ace had just joined, so he didn't know the country's past, so he was a little curious.

"The Principality of Salamis was originally a member of the world government!" Marco explained: "But as the amount of heavenly gold demanded by the Tianlong people is getting higher and higher, this country also seems a little overwhelmed. You know, Heavenly gold is different from taxation. That is to say, countries that pay Heavenly gold to the Tianlong people generally levy additional taxes on heavenly gold in addition to normal taxes. Juan Card, King of Salamis Principality His Majesty Ross is a good king. He saw that the country became increasingly impoverished because of the heavenly gold system, so he decided to withdraw from the franchise country. After this heavenly gold tax was lost, he also reduced other taxes at the same time. It has restored the country’s vitality."

"In that case, there are other participating countries that continue to levy taxes regardless of this influence?" Ian asked.

"Of course!" Marco nodded, "And there are a lot of them. For some kings, although the heavenly gold is paid to the Tianlong people, it is not from them. The heavenly gold tax is paid to the Tianlong people, which is normal. The tax revenue is handed over to them and squeezed from the people. Therefore, it has nothing to do with them whether there is heavenly gold or not. Some countries, in turn, use the name of heavenly gold to collect excessive amounts."

Ian shook his head. No wonder that many countries have repeatedly proposed to abolish the heavenly gold system at the World Conference. It seems that wise people have realized that this will cause national unrest.

Excessive taxes and taxes have always been the source of turmoil...

"What happened later?" Ace asked.

"After withdrawing from the franchise, Salamis also had a dark period!" Marco said: "At that time the navy evacuated the defense forces stationed in this country, which caused some pirates to discover the emptiness of this country, so they took the opportunity The looting of the Principality of Salamis, this country’s army is unable to resist the endless pirates, so in the end, His Majesty Carlos can only find the old man and ask him to go out and protect Salamis."

"His Majesty Carlos met his father when he was traveling abroad many years ago, but he hasn't seen him again for many years!" Marco smiled and said, "But when he came up, the old man recognized him at a glance. He came, so he came to the island without hesitation, and hung his banner. From then on, no pirates dare to mess around on this island. This is the reason why people in the Duchy of Salamis welcome Dad so much. ."

After Ian heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little agitated. Although the white beard is old, the Pirate has reached his peak by achieving his level.

When will I be able to reach this point, and only rely on the flag of the Dragon Hunter Pirate Group to protect a country?(To be continued)).If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote, your support is my greatest motivation.For mobile phone users, please go to read.)
