According to Ian's original plan, he planned to merge the members of these four families into one family.

But looking at it now, the number of people seems to be too many...

Boulder and the others did not bring all their men, but there were about two hundred people present alone. Including those who stayed behind to guard their stronghold, there was no telling how many people there were.

If all of these people were brought under the name of Ian's family, then according to Ian's philosophy, things such as human trafficking would definitely be banned.

So the question arises, can we feed so many people just by catching pirates and getting bounties?

These people are not strong. It is not feasible to expect them to catch pirates with high bounties. Ian still has to do it himself, but there are too many people, which means that the more money Ian will make as a share of the profits. , which is contrary to his purpose of making money.

It seems that the only thing left is to streamline the staff. Ian rubbed his chin and thought about it. He will keep all the good people from the four families and dismiss the others.

As long as they have some strength, they can be recruited in. When the time comes, they can rely on this part of the manpower to capture those little pirates with a bounty of 10 to 20 million. No matter how they do it, even if they rely on numbers, I believe they should be able to do it. Can you do it?

At that time, these little pirates won't need Ian to personally take action. When they catch them and get the bounty, he will take part of it and reward them with the rest.

In this way, the Ian family can be transformed into an orthodox bounty hunter family.

As for those people who have been dismissed, Ian doesn't plan to pay too much attention to them. Whether they re-establish a new family or escape, Ian won't care.

As long as the power of the Ian family grows, they can secretly control other forces in this territory. At that time, they can also collect protection fees and let these forces pay tribute to the Ian family.

As for the weapons sales, robbery, and theft that these forces were involved in, Ian actually knew that he could not stop it. Human nature is like this. He likes to fight. As long as there is a fight, there will be a need for weapons. There will be casualties. Even a navy as powerful as the navy cannot prevent the spread of these things. Ian does not think that he can reverse this phenomenon with his own strength.

If you don’t do it, someone else will! Not to mention anything else, Ian's men also need to arm themselves with guns or something, right? Otherwise, how can we fight with pirates?

So from Ian's point of view, the most he can do is to control these things and prevent them from going too far.

However, the business of human trafficking is something that Ian must absolutely prohibit!

On Shampoo Island, due to the existence of the Celestial Dragons, this kind of thing is more rampant than anywhere else. In Ian's view, this slavery system is a complete trampling of human dignity. He can't control other places and has nothing to do, but at least In our own territory, this kind of thing must be stopped.

After thinking clearly, Ian began to rectify these people. He singled out some of the stronger-looking people and asked them if they were willing to join the Ian family.

Without exception, the selected people all agreed.

After some integration, the members of Ian's family now expanded to more than a hundred people. As for the remaining people, Ian let them go back and announced his decision to them, allowing them to re-establish the family. But by then At this time, these families must follow the lead of the Ian family.

Next, things came to an end. Those who should be treated should treat their injuries, and those who should be doing should do what they should do.

It was only then that Hawking came to Ian with some worry and whispered to him: "Boss Ian, will this anger some people?"

"What do you mean?" Ian asked him.

"Not to mention anything else, that Duoji, it is said that he has been in contact with the No. 1 Auctioneer!" Hawking explained: "Now that he is dead, Boss Ian, you are not allowed to continue the human trafficking business, which means that... Auction House No. 1 has lost a source of goods..."

Of course Ian knew what Auction House No. 1 was, but he shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Shampoo Island is so big. Losing a source of goods does not mean that Auction House No. 1 cannot continue to operate. Unless you wait, Since our Ian family has taken control of the entire Shampoo Island, they will be anxious! Now, they can't notice us!"

Hawking thought about it carefully and felt that this was indeed the case. Maybe the Ian family was not involved in the human trafficking business, but other family forces were secretly enjoying themselves because they lost a competitor.

"Hawking!" Ian called him, and then said: "Now that the family's manpower has expanded, you and Cripple are responsible for bringing these men together. The most important thing is intelligence. You all need to know the movements of various families around our territory. Find a way to get it, and if they do anything that crosses the line, you have to make sure I know it as soon as possible!"

"Boss Ian, don't worry!" Hawking nodded.

In the next two days, Ian has been dealing with family affairs. After the staff expanded, the original house seemed to be unusable because it was too small. Ian simply asked Hawking and the others to knock it down and plan to rebuild it. Conflicts between members of Ian's family and new members also need to be mediated. As for the situation of Lorraine and Elena's families, Ian also sent people to inquire. In short, there are still quite a lot of things.

After sorting things out a bit, Ian thought about taking out the bounty.

After the Leech Lucius of the Skinned Pirates was captured, Ian sent it to the naval base. However, the base did not give out the money directly, but gave out a bank check. There is a bank on Shampoo Island. Here Being so close to the Navy Headquarters, opening a bank is not afraid of pirates daring to rob it. Moreover, it is said that the bank on Shampoo Island has a Celestial Dragon background, which frightens many people.

If anyone dares to dare to take advantage of the bank, he may be attracted by the Admiral of the Navy...

So on Shampoo Island, bank checks are still very reputable.

In addition to the bounty, Cripple and the others also searched the ships of the Skinned Pirates and found a lot of valuable things. These things may be worth one or two million beli, mainly some food and jewelry. Ian plans to reward Give it to them.

After explaining to everyone, Ian left the stronghold.

Speaking of which, he had been on the island for several days, but he hadn't really visited the island properly, so he took advantage of the opportunity to withdraw money to relax.

As he walked, a hut gradually appeared in front of him. Ian didn't pay attention to it at first, but just as he was about to pass the hut, he suddenly heard a crisp sound and the wooden door of the hut shattered. It cracked, and a figure flew out of the hut.

Ian looked at the person flying out and found that he seemed to be a pirate. His face was bruised and swollen, and he had fainted.

When I looked up, I saw a wooden sign on the roof of the hut: Aunt Xia's rip-off BAR!

This made Ian stunned for a while. He turned around and looked around, and found that he had indeed reached the vicinity of mangrove No. 13.

After thinking about it, Ian walked towards the hut.

"welcome!"

After Ian walked in, maybe because of the sound of footsteps, a woman at the bar with her back to him said without looking back, and then asked: "What do you want to have?"

"Have a cup of tea! Thank you!" Ian hasn't had tea for a long time since he left Shuangyue Village.

The woman with her back to him bent down and worked for a while, then turned around and handed a cup of tea to Ian.

"It's indeed Aunt Xia!" Ian couldn't help but said in his heart after seeing her appearance.

This woman had neat short hair that was raised at the temples. She had a cigarette in her mouth. After putting down the tea cup, she said with some surprise: "Hey, isn't this Brother Ian?"

Ian was really surprised and asked, "Do you know me?"

"Of course, I'm in the intelligence business, and you've been very popular in this area recently!" Aunt Xia crossed her arms, held the cigarette between her fingers, blew out a smoke ring, and said with a smile, "I heard You have established a new Ian family, but you only catch pirates and are not allowed to engage in human trafficking business. During this time, this matter has been spread throughout the lawless areas!"

Only then did Ian realize that the commotion in the past few days had indeed been a bit loud.

So he could only say to Aunt Xia: "What a joke!"

With that said, Ian scanned the store and found that he was the only one there. The expected Pluto Rayleigh was not seen.

Pluto Rayleigh can be said to be a big BOSS hidden on Shampoo Island. For such a legendary figure, since Ian has arrived at No. 13 Mangrove Aunt Xia, he has to come and see it.

However, it seems that something went wrong. Rayleigh was not here. I wonder if he went to gamble again.

Aunt Xia saw the way Ian looked at the shop, but she didn't say anything. She just stood on the bar, waiting for Ian to turn around, and then asked: "Brother Ian, I'm very curious. , you are so young, you actually came to the illegal zone to be the boss, and you also set up such strange rules... Do you know that your behavior is considered unusual in the illegal zone! "

"Alien? Why do you say that?" Ian asked.

"Haha!" Aunt Xia took a puff of cigarette and said: "The history of human traffickers on this island can be said to have lasted for a long time. Here, human trafficking is basically an industry, and people have long been accustomed to it. Since you To get involved in illegal territory but not get involved in this business, what is it but an outlier?"

"Just be different!" Ian shook his head and said, "It's enough for me to do things that are worthy of my own heart!"

"Well, that's a good answer!" Aunt Xia laughed and suddenly changed the question to Ian: "But why do you want to catch pirates specifically? Do you hate pirates? Or do you think you are righteous? , and pirates are evil?”

Just as Ian was about to speak, Aunt Xia waved her hand and said, "You should think about this question before you answer it!"

"Why?" Ian asked in surprise.

"Because the cup of tea in your hand costs one hundred thousand beli!" Aunt Xia said with a smile: "And based on your answer, I will decide whether you should pay more or less!"

"Pfft!" Ian almost spat out!

He finally understood what the sign of this small shop meant...
