Chapter 277
Subordinate? Just Us
Logically speaking, this woman should be following Zephyr closely. Since she is here, Zephyr is not too far away.
“I came alone.”
Ian said softly, “I just wanted to investigate the intelligence, but…”
The World Government did not disclose the matter of West Blue Pegasus Island, and for Zephyr, who has retired from the upper echelons of the Marine, there is some intelligence that he does not know, let alone his subordinates.
Ian found out about Pegasus Island by chance. He just wanted to get some information, but he couldn’t stand the tragic state of the civilians on Pegasus Island, so he attacked here. Although he killed many pirates, he was also seriously injured.
Fortunately, the residents here were very kind and hid her.
“Don’t face them!”
Ian remembered something and said anxiously, “There is a particularly strong person in this town called Johannes. He is too strong. I couldn’t touch him at all and was seriously injured.”
“Johannes?” Leda was stunned.
He seemed to have heard this name before.
“Yes, that’s him, he’s called ‘Magician’, and there are hundreds of pirates in the town. Without sufficient preparation, it’s better not to take risks. My paper of life is in the hands of Master Zephyr, and soon, he will bring people here, and when Master Zephyr arrives, we will deal with these hateful pirates!” Ian gritted his teeth with some unwillingness.
She wanted to kill those pirates now, but the power of one person is limited.
She was not strong enough.
“Oh! Is it that…” Leda thought of something and her eyes suddenly widened.
“Yes, that one is very famous in West Blue…” Ian nodded.
“The one who said that he was a good citizen and was killed by Kurlo with a black gun.” Leda punched her palm and remembered.
“That’s right, it’s that Kuro… Huh?”
Ioan froze. “Kill?”
“Sir Ian, there are no pirates on it, it has been…”
Before the accompanying mayor could finish, he was glared at by Kuro. Then he looked at Ian and said:
“Just now, a weapon inexplicably fell from the sky. You know Grand Line, it’s normal to drop some weapons. This group of pirates were not very lucky and were killed by the weapon.”
“Sir, this is West Blue…” The mayor said weakly.
“What happened to West Blue!”
Kuro glared at him again and said angrily, “Is the West Blue not as good as the Grand Line?! Let me tell you, if you think like this, sooner or later something will go wrong. Where did most of the pirates on the Grand Line come from? They came from the four seas. The most dangerous place in the four seas is the West Blue!”
“Don’t, don’t underestimate West Blue. Even if it is one of the four seas, because this place is close to the Reverse Mountain, the weather of the Grand Line can also affect here!”
“Is, is that so?” The mayor was a little puzzled, but he didn’t dare to ask again.
Looking at this Marine’s serious and sure expression, maybe it is really different. After all, he is from Headquarters and he is just a country bumpkin who has never been out to sea.
As for Kuro, he would never admit it.
Tell Ian that I did it? Not to mention that I really did it, even if I did it in front of her, he would not admit it.
It wasn’t easy for him to come to the Four Seas, even if the place was a little bad.
This woman has not left the Marine yet. Although Zephyr is no longer in the upper echelons of the Marine, if you say that he is transparent, he can hammer your head with his mechanical arm without being responsible.
Did he really take it as a joke?
Which of the famous Marines now is not a student he used to teach?
If Ian reported this matter and Zephyra found out, she might mention it. If his students accepted his favor and transferred him, he would probably be called back before he could even cover his butt.
He was counting on spending the rest of his life here!
He had to get rid of Ian first.
“The weapon that fell from the sky…”
Ian’s eyes were full of doubts. Obviously, she had not seen the live broadcast about the Top, otherwise she would not have this doubt.
She did not participate either. During that time, she was not called up, and Teacher Zephyr also stopped pirates all over the world.
The tunnel was not a place to talk about things. Ian followed Kuro and others out and saw the devastation of the town. The weapons had already flown to the sky, and the pirates on the ground were obviously pierced by the weapons.
“Is there really a weapon in the sky?” Ian murmured in shock.
“Let’s not talk about this. How did you come here? Shouldn’t you be on the Grand Line?” Kuro touched his chin and probed.
Zephyra will come to the West Blue?
Shouldn’t someone of his rank be on the Grand Line?
“We have been wandering in the second half, not in the first half, most of the time crossing the Calm Belt, looking for pirates with threats and potential in the West and North Blue.”
Ian said honestly, “During this time, we were in the West Blue. I heard the rumors about Pegasus Island in the West Blue, so I came here to take a look. Here…”
She took a look and gritted her teeth. “This is too much!”
Of course, she was not talking about the death of the pirates, but everything she had discovered in those days.
“Pegasus Island has a Pirate Alliance. They rule this island. The person who defeated me before is just one of the cadres. They are too fierce and don’t treat civilians as people. The people here are enslaved by them. Colonel Kuro, this town has just begun. I suggest that your forces wait with me for Master Zephyr.”
“My Life Paper is in the hands of Teacher Zephyr. I believe that Teacher Zephyr has already noticed that I was seriously injured. As long as they arrive, we can attack this island and arrest that group of pirates!”
The Paper of Life is a magical thing. Kuro also has it and has given it to Leda and Crowe. That thing can find a person’s position and accurately check a person’s condition. If the person is in critical condition, the Paper of Life will char.
Previously, Ian was seriously injured. If her Life Paper is in the hands of old man Zephana, then that old man must be on the way.
Kuro was just thinking about this when he suddenly froze and looked at the sea. He said in surprise, “No way, they came quite quickly.”
On the sea, the outline of several ships appeared faintly, and among those ships, Kenbonshoku (Observation) can detect a very powerful aura, which is as bright as the light of night.
That aura is not small.
The outline of the ship gradually appeared. It was a few large warships sailing towards them. The leader was a purple-haired old man wearing a cloak and standing at the bow.
“Teacher Zephyr!”
Ian cried out in surprise and quickly ran towards the port.
“Zefa…”
Crowe pushed up his glasses and looked at Ian’s back and said, “Mr. Kuro, are we going over?”
“After all, he’s an old general. I still have to give him respect. Isn’t it good that he’s here? I don’t have to work hard to capture all the pirates on this island.”
Kuro took a puff of his cigar and followed them towards the port.
“Teacher Zephyr! Teacher Zephyr!”
Ian stood at the port and shook his arms. Then he thought of something and said to Kuro, “Colonel Kuro, your men can follow up. We can work together to destroy the pirates here!”
“It’s okay, my men are all here. We just need to wait for Zephyr to come.” Kuro said indifferently.
“We’re here?”
Ian froze and looked around, but he couldn’t see anyone except Leda and Crowe. “Where is he?”
“Just us.”
Kuro pointed at himself. “We’re the vanguard.”
Subordinates? He doesn’t even know where his subordinates are. If he had subordinates, he wouldn’t need to do it himself. He would have asked Crowe to take the lead in tearing down the house.
Now that Zephyra was here, he was worried about who to give the credit to. Now he didn’t have to worry.
