One Piece Super Card System

Ian did not forget the purpose of coming to Ace this time, so he whispered to Ace who was supporting him: "Ace, have you seen Teach?"

At this time, Marshall D. Teach didn't seem to have the title of Blackbeard. It seemed that he got the title after he rebelled against the Whitebeards, so Ian directly said his name.

"Teach?" Ace was stunned for a moment after hearing the name, and then said, "Oh, I remembered, it's that guy. I've seen him on the ship. He seems to be a nice guy."

Ian nodded and confirmed his guess. Teach appeared here with Whitebeard, explaining that Whitebeard called him back after the Clockwork Island incident, so Ace and he have definitely met.

However, from Ace's answer, Ian discovered that Teach seemed to be well disguised. Teach had been in the Whitebeard Pirates for a long time, and he had always pretended to be honest and heroic, pretending to be honest and heroic. His ambition was deeply hidden, and not only did he deceive others, but even Ace, the newcomer who just joined, seemed to have a good impression of him.

"Ian, have you seen Teach?" Ace asked him while helping Ian walk.

"We know each other, we met on Clockwork Island!" Ian said. Thanks to the tingling pain all over his body, Ian was being supported by Ace, and they were very close now, so he whispered to Ace: "Listen to me. , Ace, you have to be careful about Teach, he is not as simple as he appears!"

Ace frowned and said, "But, I think he is a good person. I also like the atmosphere in the Whitebeard Pirates..."

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

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

Ian smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later, but Ace, you must take my words seriously!"

"Well, okay!" Ace nodded: "I will keep an eye on that guy."

Hearing what he said, Ian was a little relieved. However, he calculated carefully and knew that Ace would probably have to spend two years with Teach. During this time, the scheming Blackbeard would I'm afraid that he will use his own performance to wear away Ace's vigilance against him bit by bit. Maybe in the end, Ace will think that Ian is overly worried.

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

It is impossible for him to join the Whitebeard Pirates. Joining the Whitebeard Pirates means recognizing Whitebeard as his father, but Ian has his own parents. Even after he came to this world, he met His two masters, Koushiro and Rayleigh, his sister Kuina, and his junior brother Zoro are all still there, so unlike Ace, who lacks fatherly love, psychologically Ian cannot accept recognizing others as his Dad's.

Ian admitted that Whitebeard was indeed very good, and he truly regarded Ace and the others as his sons. If Ian was really such a pitiful person, he might have followed Whitebeard and regarded his brothers in the pirate group as family. Treated the same way, it is also a good destination.

But the problem is, Ian is not.

If there is no big deviation in history, then two years later, during the time when Luffy went to sea, Teach would kill the captain of the fourth division, Thatch, and then betray the Whitebeard Sea because he wanted to snatch the Dark Fruit. Thieves.

Two years. Since Ian doesn't want to join the Whitebeard Pirates, it's impossible to stay with Ace for two years.

And Ian doesn't know exactly when the Dark Fruit appeared, so it's impossible for him to return at that point in time.

There were only other ways to think of it. Ian glanced at Whitebeard walking in front and felt that it was not the time to talk with Ace in detail, so he could only not talk about it for the time being.

As for Ace, this idiot, he didn't know that Ian was worrying about his things, so 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, leaving the place where the previous battle was fought empty, trainee reporter Pulitzer stood up shakily and ran away quickly.

Today's scene was too exciting for him as a trainee reporter who had just debuted. Fortunately, no one like him would trouble him, and because of this once-in-a-lifetime report, he would become famous in the future. .

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

This figure looked very mysterious. He was covered in a green cloak, and the hood of the cloak covered his head tightly.

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

"Xiong, it seems that your worries are in vain. This little guy is more capable than we thought..." The mysterious man murmured to himself in a low voice, then stepped forward and slowly

Xu Di also left.

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

..........................................

After walking into the city, Ian realized how famous the Whitebeard Pirates were in this country.

In the navy's propaganda, Whitebeard, the pirate, is very scary. This strongest man is often used by some mothers to scare their crying children, telling them that if they cry again, Whitebeard is coming!

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

Whitebeard has traveled across the sea for decades in his life and has met all kinds of people. He is not a bad-tempered person, so he has made many friends in his life. The king of Fish-Man Island, Knight Neptune is not the only example.

Of course, almost all of Whitebeard's so-called friends are now old men just like him.

When Whitebeard, escorted by the Guards of the Principality of Salamis, appeared on the streets of this city and was discovered by people hiding at home, the crowd immediately poured out like a tide.

"Dad!? Look, it's really dad!"

"Whitebeard Pirates! The Whitebeard Pirates are here!"

"Oh my God, Salamis is really saved!"

"Marco, and Marco the Phoenix!"

"That person is Fire Fist Ace, right? He is now also a member of the Whitebeard Pirates. That's great!"

Although the people of the Principality of Salamis were still in awe of Whitebeard, they also enthusiastically welcomed the arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates. They called Whitebeard and the names of the captains of the divisions who followed him. The noisy sound reached into the sky.

Ian looked at this scene with some astonishment. He really couldn't believe that this was welcoming a big pirate. He looked at the smiles of the old people around the street and the excited and screaming expressions of the young girls. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't believe it. It's like welcoming the arrival of a hero!

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

"What's going on?" Ace has just joined, so he doesn't know the past of this country, so he is also 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 Celestial Dragons became higher and higher, this country became a little overwhelmed. You know, Heavenly gold is different from taxes. That is to say, countries that pay heavenly gold to the Celestial Dragons will generally levy additional heavenly gold taxes in addition to normal taxes. Juan Ca, King of the Principality of Salamis His Majesty Los is a good king. After he saw that the country was becoming increasingly poor due to the heavenly gold system, he decided to withdraw from the franchise. After losing this heavenly gold tax, he also reduced other taxes at the same time, and then slowly The land brought life back to the country.”

"So, there are other franchise countries that continue to impose taxes regardless of this impact?" Ian asked.

"Of course!" Marco nodded: "And there are quite a few. For some kings, although the heavenly gold is paid to the Celestial Dragons, it does not come from them. The taxes on the heavenly gold are given to the Celestial Dragons, but normally The taxes are handed over to them, and they are all extracted from the people, so whether they have heavenly gold or not has nothing to do with them, and some countries even use the name of heavenly gold to levy and extort money."

Ian shook his head when he heard this. No wonder many countries have repeatedly proposed to abolish the heavenly gold system at the world conference. It seems that wise people have realized that if this continues, it will lead to turmoil in the country.

Exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have always been the source of unrest...

"What happened next?" Ace asked.

"After withdrawing from the alliance, Salamis also had a dark period!" Marco said: "At that time, the navy withdrew the defense forces stationed in this country, which caused some pirates to discover the emptiness of this country, so they took the opportunity After plundering the Principality of Salamis, the country's army was unable to withstand the endless waves of pirates, so in the end, His Majesty Carlos had no choice but to find his father and ask him to come forward to protect Salamis."

"His Majesty Carlos met Dad many years ago when he was traveling abroad, but we haven't seen him again for many years!" Marco said with a smile: "But when he came up, Dad still recognized him at a glance. He came, so he came to this island without hesitation and hung up his flag. From then on, no pirates dared to mess around on this island. This is why the people of the Principality of Salamis welcomed Dad so much. .”

After hearing this, Ian couldn't help but feel a little excited. Although Old Whitebeard was old, the pirate had reached his peak when he reached this point.

When will he reach this point and be able to protect a country with just the banner of the Dragon Hunter Pirates?
