"Bring it to me!" Ian took the invitation from Ace with a puzzled expression.

Ace was heartless. After handing over the invitation, he started chewing again. Lorraine and Elena looked at him with smiles on their faces, only thinking that Master Ian's friend was so interesting.

Since Ian became the eldest son, Lorraine and Elena only feel that this period of time has been the best life for them. Although Master Ian has been away from home often recently, he has never forgotten to find their relatives for them. News came a few days ago, and it is said that there are already some eyebrows. This made Lorraine and Elena respect and appreciate Ian even more. They love the house and the bird. They are also very good to Ace now, desperately adding food to his plate.

And Ian was frowning at Ace's invitation to the Shichibukai.

The invitation is indeed genuine, and the seals of the World Government and Navy on it cannot be faked.

After looking at it for a while, Ian closed the invitation and asked Ace, "Ace, has your bounty been increased again?"

He had been studying with Rayleigh during this period, so he didn't pay much attention to the news. After hearing his rhetorical question, Ace turned his head and chewed food and said: "Yeah, I just mentioned it once not long ago, and now it's 1 Forty million beli!"

Lorraine and Elena exclaimed in low voices: "It's amazing! It's 1 million Baileys!"

Ace laughed. He was actually quite proud of himself. However, what he didn't expect was that Lorraine and Elena looked at Ian with admiration and said, "The young master is even more powerful. There is such a person." friend!"

Ashton was suddenly depressed...

In fact, they don't know much about pirates, and Ace is not the kind of person who looks ferocious, so Lorraine and Elena are not afraid of him at all. They now admire Ian extremely and have no fear at all. I thought about why Ian, a pirate hunter, would make friends with pirates.

Ian didn't notice this scene. He tapped his fingers lightly on his leg and fell into deep thought.

Ace's bounty has increased, which is to be expected. Natural Devil Fruit users are generally valued, and Ace is estimated to be the only newcomer with a bounty of over 100 million in recent times. From these two points of view, it is natural for Ace to be invited to join the Shichibukai.

You know, the pirate empress Boya Hancock won a bounty of 80 million beli in one expedition, and was immediately invited to join the Shichibukai. It can be seen that the level of the bounty is not the criterion for judging the Shichibukai. The key is Strength and fame.

Ace's current fame cannot be said to be that great, but his potential is definitely sufficient, and he does have the strength to become a Shichibukai.

However, Ian felt that there seemed to be something fishy here.

It's simple, because the current seven Shichibukai members are full and there are no vacancies!

Sand Crocodile Crocodile, Hawkeye Mihawk, Aquaman Jinbe, Moonlight Moriah, Tenyasha Doflamingo, Empress Boya Hancock, and the tyrant Bartholomew Big Bear whom Ian knows, These seven people are the currently reigning Shichibukai. What does it mean to invite Ace to join the Shichibukai when there is no vacancy?

It goes without saying that there is no eighth person in the Shichibukai. Otherwise, why not just call it the Hachibukai...

So, the meaning of this is somewhat intriguing.

The first situation is that the world government and navy intend to deprive a certain Shichibukai of its title, so they are thinking of finding a replacement.

The second situation is that a certain Shichibukai actively wants to quit!

The second scenario does not seem very likely. Generally, no one who becomes a Shichibukai is willing to quit voluntarily, because the Shichibukai is a privilege. For pirates, the legal right to plunder is hard-won. .

The first scenario is very likely. Perhaps the behavior of a certain Shichibukai has caused dissatisfaction with the World Government and the Navy, so preparations are being made to strip it of its title.

Thinking along this line of thinking, Ian began to calculate who it might be.

The first thing that Ian thought of was Moonlight Moria. There was no other reason. In the original history, Moonlight Moria was attacked by Doflamingo after the War on the Top. The reason was that he was too weak. The World Government feels that he is not worthy to continue being a Shichibukai.

But...even if Moria is weak, he should still be slightly stronger than Ace now, right? After all, Ace is a newcomer who has just debuted. Compared with the veteran Shichibukai like Moria, how can the government and navy give up the strong to the weak?

Ian had a headache thinking about it. He finally understood the reason why Ace came to him. He probably also discovered something was wrong, so he came to Ian to discuss it.

"Ace, what do you think?" Ian turned his head, planning to ask Ace.

However, when he turned around, Ian discovered that Ace had fallen asleep while eating again!

A vein appeared on his forehead, and Ian punched Ace directly on the head. Damn, bro.

Thinking about your invitation letter gives me a headache, so you might as well just fall asleep! Sleep, sleep, sleep, you big-headed ghost!

After being beaten by Ian, Ace finally woke up and looked at Ian blankly.

"I'm asking for your opinion!" Ian hit his head with the invitation letter and said, "What are your plans for this invitation?"

Ace grinned and said: "I actually have no idea. I heard that the Shichibukai will accept their recruitment when the navy needs it, so I am not willing to accept the invitation, but Jimmy and the others said that joining the Shichibukai is a good idea. Many benefits were offered to persuade me to come, so I wasn’t sure. After arriving at Shampoo Island, I heard that you had established a family here to catch pirates, so I came to find you!”

"Jimmy and the others are right! You are a pirate, and your status as the Shichibukai is good for you!" Ian said: "But I always feel that there is something fishy about this invitation!"

When he said this, an idea suddenly flashed in Ian's mind, and he immediately thought of the third possibility.

Is this invitation a trap? ?

It's very simple. If Ace agrees to join the Shichibukai, then one of the original Shichibukai will be excluded. And if the World Government and the Navy don't reveal in advance who will be deprived of their title, this will lead to everyone in power. The Shichibukai are all here to target Ace!

By then, Ace may have to face the wrath of the seven great pirates!

When Ian thought of this, he felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat. Damn it, this was simply a way to kill someone with a borrowed knife! The World Government and the Navy may have thought that Ace's ability to burn fruits would pose a threat to them in the future, so they planned to use the hands of the Shichibukai to strangle him!

However, Ian still hasn't figured out one thing. Since they want to kill Ace, why not let the Navy do it themselves? With Ace's current strength, if he dispatches a lieutenant general, how can he be captured? Could it be that the navy couldn't even send out a lieutenant general?

intelligence! Ian just felt that there was too little information now. Thinking of this, Ian immediately thought of Aunt Xia.

"Follow me!" Ian pulled Ace up, grabbed him and walked out.

It was dinner time and Aunt Xia probably hadn't rested yet. Ian led Ace to Mangrove No. 13 and found Aunt Xia at the rip-off bar.

Aunt Xia usually has few people here, so it is convenient to talk about things. She was not surprised that Ian brought someone here. She smiled and said: "Brother Ian, what can I do?"

"Aunt Xia, let me ask you something!" Ian said, "Has anything happened in the Navy recently?"

Aunt Xia asked curiously: "Why do you ask this?"

"Aren't you in the intelligence business?" Ian smiled and said, "Those people under me are doing well in collecting Shampoo Island, but they can't do anything about the navy. That's why I came to find you!"

"A lot of things did happen in the Navy!" Aunt Xia held a cigarette between her chin and said, "It doesn't hurt to tell you..."

So, Aunt Xia then talked about the recent situation in the navy.

After getting the information from Aunt Xia, Ian finally understood the connection.

It turns out that the world conference, which is held every four years, is about to be held!

More than 170 world government member countries from all over the world will arrive in the Holy Land of Mariejoia in about three months and hold a world conference here.

Every time a world conference is held, out of consideration for the safety of the kings of the various countries participating in the conference, the navy will dispatch warships to escort it. Although there are still more than three months until the conference, the navy has already entered the conference. In the preparation stage, after all, it takes time for warships to travel to and from various countries.

A large number of warships and naval soldiers have been dispatched. It can be said that the current naval headquarters is about to enter a period of emptiness, with a serious shortage of troops.

In order to prevent pirates from taking advantage of the situation, the Navy Headquarters could only leave the generals and lieutenants to serve as the headquarters.

However, this is not over yet. Not long ago, a major accident occurred at a research facility of the Navy in the New World, Punk Hassad. A big explosion occurred in the research facility, and poisonous gas spread throughout the island. The Navy had to allocate manpower again to deal with the island. accident on.

The result is that under such circumstances, what a coincidence, a new pirate like Ace who has exceeded 100 million appears!

Once this kind of information is connected, it is not difficult to understand why Ace received an invitation letter from the Shichibukai. The Navy had no time to take care of Ace, but could not let it go, so it thought of using this method to provoke the Seven Seas. The members of the Shichibukai were hostile to Ace and tried to get the Shichibukai to take action to eliminate Ace, a newbie pirate.

As soon as he figured out the relationship, Ian immediately said sternly to Ace: "Ace, if you don't want to die, absolutely don't accept this invitation!"

Ian did not elaborate on the connection to Ace, but one good thing about Ace is that he trusts his friends very much, so he nodded and grinned: "Well, Ian, I listen. your!"
