Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

The two walked back together to the vicinity of the entrance to the Infinite Hell.

A panting figure came running towards them; it was Magellan, the warden of Impel Down.

"Admiral Kizaru! Ian Adrian! What were you two just doing!?"

Kizaru smirked and suddenly looked up at the ceiling of the Infinite Hell.

This ceiling, it really is a ceiling!

Ian curled his lip when he saw that the admiral had actually backed down at this moment.

"Magellan, I'm here to collect my payment!"

"Rewards my ass!"

Magellan glared at him and swore.

"You killed all but three prisoners in the Infinite Hell! I saw it all!"

"Yes! That's right! So what?"

Ian nodded and said matter-of-factly.

"The dead cannot be brought back to life, so try to accept it, Magellan."

"You—I—"

Upon hearing this, Magellan's expression rapidly shifted between purple and red.

"Ian Adrian! Get out of here!! Impel Down doesn't welcome you!!!"

"Let's go!"

Ian looked at Kizaru and raised his right hand, waving it.

"Admiral Kizaru, you'll be left here to guard this place by yourself."

"People like us who work so diligently are always misunderstood by others. This world is truly..."

Kizaru twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Magellan, who was almost completely red-faced, urging him on.

“We are different… You can go now, leave this to me.”

Whitebeard Jr. never came.

It's not a good idea to keep Ian in Impel Down any longer.

after all.

Kizaru can simply stay in Impel Down, recuperate, and slack off.

But members of the Blade Force like Ian have many more things to consider.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Ian nodded to Kizaru.

Only three people remain in the Infinite Hell, one of whom is Shiryu of the Rain, who only recently moved in.

It would be impolite for Ian to continue killing.

Since there is no "reward" to be obtained.

Ian then lost the motivation to stay in Impel Down.

"Magellan, see you next time!"

There will absolutely be no next time!

Magellan said in a deep voice.

"I will definitely protect Impel Down!"

"What if Whitebeard Jr. comes?"

Ian asked with great interest.

"Or perhaps it's the Golden Lion II?"

Each name was announced.

Magellan's complexion turned slightly redder.

Kizaru couldn't stand it any longer and nudged Ian's shoulder.

Before Magellan became completely red-hot and transformed into a "poisonous giant soldier".

Ian dusted himself off and left.

This time, the departure wasn't as rushed as the last one.

After saying goodbye to Hannibal, Domino, Sadie, and the others, Ian rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon out of Impel Down.

It had only been flying for a short while.

Ian then spotted Hawkeye Mihawk rowing diligently on the open sea below.

He manipulated the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to descend.

The shadow covered Hawkeye Mihawk's small boat.

Ian's voice then reached his ears.

"Hawkeye, why are you so slow?"

Hawkeye Mihawk looked up at the sky and saw the enormous white dragon above.

His eye twitched, and he sheathed his Supreme Grade Sword [Black Sword Night], leaping directly onto the back of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

This time, Hawkeye Mihawk didn't forget to give a reminder.

"Take my boat with you!"

Ian looked at the overly familiar Hawkeye Mihawk and couldn't help but purse his lips.

"Hey! Are you sure we're going the same way?"

Hawkeye Mihawk: "Where are you going?"

Ian thought for a moment and gave his answer: "East Blue, I heard recently that Crocodile abandoned his base and went to the East Blue. I wonder what he's up to. I want to go and see."

"Then I'll go the same way!"

Hawkeye Mihawk's decisiveness surprised Ian.

He paused for a moment, then asked.

"...What if I go to the new world?" (Death)

Chapter 170 News of Edward Weevil!

"What are you going to the New World for?"

"Of course it's for the Four Emperors! Want to come along, Hawkeye?"

"I have no interest in the Pirate Emperor! Except... Red-Haired Shanks!"

"I knew it! You still can't forget that man, Number Two."

Ian clapped his hands and laughed loudly.

“Then we have the same goal! The Red-Haired Pirates are also within my target range.”

The two simple words are "Number Two".

Hawkeye Mihawk fell silent once again.

However, at this moment, Ian continued to speak.

"Hey, Hawkeye, wanna join my pirate crew?"

I don't trust you!

"But we're already part of the same group!"

Hawkeye Mihawk was spouting nonsense like "I don't trust you."

But in reality, he still obediently moved into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's "dragon belly cabin".

If Hawkeye Mihawk truly has absolutely no trust in Ian.

So he wouldn't say a single unnecessary word to the other party, and he wouldn't even take the initiative to approach the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

As for this "world's second greatest swordsman".

If Ian says he's not interested, that would be a complete lie.

Hawkeye Mihawk's style of doing things suited him well, and he hadn't heard of the other party committing any unforgivable crimes.

If we could really recruit this "world's second greatest swordsman".

So for Ian, this is also an extremely good thing.

However, let's be fair to the "March 17th" argument.

Recruiting Hawkeye Mihawk is indeed a difficult task.

It is known that Hawkeye Mihawk and Red-Haired Shanks have a good relationship;

It is also known that Shanks is the fourth Pirate Emperor of the New World.

If recruiting Hawkeye Mihawk is really that easy.

So many years ago, Hawkeye Mihawk would have been recruited by Red-Haired Shanks.

The second-in-command of the Red-Haired Pirates shouldn't be Ben Beckman, but rather this "former" world's greatest swordsman.

Even Ian didn't know much about Hawkeye Mihawk's experiences and personality, only that he was a lone wolf—at least for now.

Let's say that.

Hawkeye Mihawk preferred to stay on Klaigana Island and play with the baboons rather than travel with other people.

This gives a glimpse into the eccentric nature of the former world's greatest swordsman.

However, Ian has encountered similar people before.

Just like Crocodile, the sand crocodile he's trying to find now.

Old Sha is also a guy who distrusts outsiders to an extreme degree.

But Ian felt that his interactions with Old Sa were quite pleasant... probably.

If Ian can successfully recruit Hawkeye Mihawk, it will be a happy event for him.

If Ian cannot successfully recruit this "former" world's greatest swordsman, he will not suffer any loss.

Putting Hawkeye Mihawk out of his mind.

Ian sat alone atop the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and summoned the Blood Diamond Chests he had just acquired.

This time, he has basically cleared out the Infinite Hell.

It is estimated that it will take several decades for Infinite Hell to return to its previous "glory".

These six Blood Diamond Chests are probably the last haul Ian can collect from Infinite Hell in the near future.

The way these Blood Diamond Chests are handled is the same as the previous system chests.

Ian first took out a Blood Diamond Treasure Chest and put it into the [Mythical Beast Type: Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit] ability, which he had not originally intended to upgrade.

【Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit: ★★★★★★★】(Seven-star rating)

Immediately afterwards, Ian summoned two more Blood Diamond Chests and placed them into the [Imitation Ring of Magic Control] and the [Flame-Flame Fruit] respectively.

【Burning Ring: ★★★★★★★】(Seven-star rating)

From this moment on...

Aside from the top-ranking eight-star [Clay Fruit].

Ian's other Devil Fruit abilities—the Momo-Momo Fruit, the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the Float-Float Fruit, and the Flame-Flame Fruit—are all at the seven-star level!

That concludes the skill point allocation.

Ian admired his [System Treasure Chest] for a while, then took out a Den Den Mushi.
