"What!?" After hearing Crocodile's last words, Ian's eyes almost popped out!

Travilla? Your own base camp? How dare someone dare to take advantage of it! ?

Immediately, Ian's anger suddenly surged. He raised his foot and kicked Crocodile directly in the face with his hardened toes.

Crocodile, who was close at hand, was caught off guard and was kicked by Ian. He was immediately kicked out with his mouth crooked.

But after getting up, Crocodile spit out the blood foam in his mouth, and still sneered at Ian: "It won't help even if you vent your anger on me, this information is true!"

Ian took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked Crocodile: "What on earth is going on?"

Crocodile did not answer Ian, but wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked Ian: "Is this news worth exchanging one tenth of my soul?"

"If you delay, these tenths of souls will no longer exist!" Ian sneered and clenched the ball of light in his hand.

Realizing that Ian was showing signs of being unable to hold back his anger at this time, Crocodile did not dare to provoke him anymore, so he had to tell the story exactly as it was.

Although the Baroque Studio controlled by Crocodile is currently only active in the country of Alabasta, it is undeniable that this organization is still a part of the underground organization, so Crocodile has always maintained the influence of the underground world. Apart from anything else, the dancing powder is something that the World Government has explicitly prohibited from manufacturing and using. How could Crocodile obtain such a thing without resorting to the means of the underground world?

It is precisely because of this that Crocodile only learned the news a few days ago...

The underground world is a general term for illegal organizations on the dark side. It does not specifically refer to a specific object. Those active in the underground world are not only pirates, thieves and killers, but also some arms dealers, powerful national figures, and even some The navy may be involved, which is a huge network of relationships and interests.

In the underground world, the most active characters are probably the brokers. These people are active in the dark and are responsible for connecting people in need and facilitating transactions, buying murderers, selling arms, mercenary wars, etc. They can be seen behind illegal transactions.

It was only after Crocodile received news from a broker that he learned that someone wanted to take action on Travilla Island. The broker even asked Crocodile's Baroque Studio if it was interested in taking the business. After all, it was clear that On the surface, Baroque Studio is a group of bounty hunters who will do anything for money.

But Crocodile refused at that time. Firstly, he was in the first half of the Grand Line and it was impossible to get involved in the affairs of the New World. Secondly, his strategy in Alabasta was at a critical stage and it was impossible to get away.

"What's the name of the broker who contacted you?" Ian asked Crocodile after hearing this.

Most of these brokers responsible for liaison are called by a code name, and when contacting customers, they are contacted through telephone bugs. Under normal circumstances, they themselves will not show up.

"His code name is 'Bug'!" Crocodile didn't hide anything and said it directly, because he knew very well that Ian was currently in trouble, and there was no need to make Ian angry just because of a broker's name.

"Bedbug?" Ian thought about the name and confirmed that he had never heard of it. The only thing he remembered was Doflamingo's "joker" code name.

When he thought of Doflamingo, Ian suddenly had a thought in his mind and thought to himself: "Could this incident be caused by Doflamingo?"

Ian now has two enemies. One is a Celestial Dragon, but the identity chip has been returned. There is no reason for the Celestial Dragons to be able to contact people in the underground world, so it can be ruled out. The other enemy is Doflaming. Bro, even though Ian and him openly cooperated, because Ian killed Vergo, Doflamingo couldn't just let it go, especially since Doflamingo himself is in the underground world. One of the brokers, so he is the biggest suspect.

Although Ian has never heard of this so-called broker codenamed Bedbug, if it is a mission commission issued by Doflamingo in the underground world, he has no need to come forward...

Of course, it is not ruled out that there is another person, that is Blackbeard Teach, because Teach has now defected from the Whitebeard Pirates. The timing is very coincidental. Maybe he also wants to seek revenge on Ian. Definitely, but Teach was probably not someone who could afford 10 billion beli, so he was also eliminated by Yi Arrangement.

The more he thought about it, the more Ian felt that it was probably Doflamingo!

"Has anyone accepted this commission?" Ian asked Crocodile.

"Maybe, maybe not!" Crocodile shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. No one in the underground world is a fool. It is impossible not to know that this is the territory of your Shichibukai, so generally speaking, it is It is impossible for anyone to accept such a commission, but the amount of this commission is too huge, so it is not ruled out that there may be a big organization willing to take action..."

"What about?" Ian asked.

"For example, the Germa Group!" Crocodile replied: "That is a group that only cares about money and is known as a war expert. Ten billion beli is enough to invite them to take action. Not only them, but also the other four emperors. , such as the Beasts Pirates or the BIGMOM Pirates, a business of 10 billion is also a huge temptation for them. The Yonko may not take action personally, but they have many masters who can complete such a commission!"

"Damn it!" Ian felt irritated as soon as he heard the names of these famous organizations coming out of Crocodile's mouth. He never thought that there would be people underground during the time he left the new world. The world issued such a commission.

As Crocodile said, an amount of 10 billion is enough for some organizations to ignore the name Shichibukai...

Ian suddenly thought of the divination that Hawkins made for him. It has to be said that so far, all the divination of this magic stick has come true. Ian came to look for Robin to interpret the historical text, but he did not get the real information from Robin. Answer, and while he was in Alabasta, danger loomed over him.

At first, Ian thought that the danger might refer to Crocodile. After all, they were both from the Shichibukai, and the only one who could pose a threat to Ian was Crocodile. However, after a sudden turn of events, Ian discovered that this This danger turned out not to be referring to Crocodile, but from his own rear.

Someone attacked his territory, Telavera! This is definitely the case. Although Crocodile is not sure whether someone has accepted the commission, from the perspective of divination, someone has definitely accepted it.

All of a sudden, all the things came together, making Ian suddenly cheerful. He not only thought about Hawkins' divination, but also thought about the abnormality in Ace's life paper.

He is now 100% sure that after Teach defected from the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace still pursued Teach out to sea as historically. However, since Ian's territory is also in the New World, Ace might not be able to I also went to Telavera, hoping to take the opportunity to meet Ian, but at this time, Ian left the new world.

It doesn't matter if he left, the key is timing. When Ace arrived at Travilla Island, he might have happened to bump into someone who accepted the commission and attacked Ian's territory.

Ace and Fujitora are familiar with each other, so in this situation, he will definitely stay to help the Dragon Hunter Pirates resist the attack, but it is possible that the attacker is quite powerful and even Ace was injured. , only then will his life paper appear abnormal.

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He had previously thought that the strange appearance of Ace's Life Paper was a sign that his pursuit of Teach might repeat history. But now that he saw it, he suddenly understood that this was not the case. .

The period of time when the life paper predicts the owner's condition should be relatively recent, and there are still several months before Luffy goes to sea. It is impossible for the life paper to predict that Ace's life will be in danger at this time. This situation can only mean that Ace has encountered an accident now.

After thinking about it, Ian realized that the matter might be more serious than he thought. On Travilla Island, not only Ace, but also Fujitora was there. If these two people could not resist the attacker, then the attack would be How powerful are the people on Travilla Island?

Of course, there may be some situations that Ian doesn't know about. For example, it is possible that Fujitora was unable to take full action because he was concerned about protecting the residents on the island.

But no matter what, Ian must go back!
