    There was no reason why Sengoku hesitated so much.


    Being able to injure a Vice Admiral, the captain of this dragon hunter pirate group was definitely not weak. If he was to be wanted, his bounty must surpass the 100-million threshold.


    Some time ago, ording to the information obtained by the Marines, Fire Fist Ace was taken away by the Whitebeard. With Sengokus understanding of the Whitebeard, the old man who loved the idea of making a solid family will definitely invite Ace to be a member of this family


    Although there was no definite news yet, Sengoku estimated that Aces joining the Whitebeard Pirates was probably an inevitable oue.


    At this time, Ace has a bounty of 220 million Berries. After joining the Whitebeard Pirates, his bounty was likely to be increased again, and with his power, the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates will be improved by a lot.


    The matter of Ace has not been resolved. If there was another pirate with one hundred-million bounty, and the Whitebeard found out about him, he may think of adding him too


    If it was possible, Sengoku wont be offering so many bounties, because each additional bounty means that another enemy was standing on the opposite side of the Marines. They were using this way of offering a reward to reduce criminals, but they were also creating an enemy after another.


    At the moment, Sengoku was nning and preparing to eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates. If he offers a reward again for this man named Ian, which means pushing another strong guy into the arms of the whitebeard. This would affect his n.


    But After all, the Dragon hunter pirate group wounded two officers, a Vice Admiral and a Rear Admiral. So by not ordering a bounty on his head, Sengoku would not be able to exin this to his subordinates.


    Sengoku was suffering from a strong headache, but at this time, he suddenly thought of something and asked Momonga: What kind of abilities did you say the captain of the Dragon Hunter pirate group used?


    He has some kind of Lightnings abilities! Momonga described: He seems to use electricity to gather some kind of <strong>Ironsand</strong> and form with it a very special weapon, and also he gathered a huge amount of Lightning into a small projectile and ejected it at an extraordinary speed!


    As soon as Sengoku heard this, he frowned. Something is not right! When Kuma came back from his mission in Sabaody Archipgo, the clothes on his shoulder seemed to be burned by mes!


    After thinking about it, Sengoku looked for the original photo of Ian, andpared it with the photo brought back by Momonga, and found that it was indeed the same person.


    In that case, there are two possibilities for this matter! Sengoku secretly thought: The first possibility was that Kuma lied to us. The person who injured him at that time was not the Pirate Hunter Ian, but another me user! As for the second possibility, Kuma didnt lie, but the pirate Hunter Ian has acquired a new lightning ability!


    Sengoku was known as The Resourceful General. Naturally, he was very cautious and began to analyze: If it is the first possibility, then why would Kuma lie? He cant fake such an injury, and the maintenance report sent by the Marine Research Institute affirmed that However, it cant be ruled out that this may be a trick to fool us, after all, this pirate Hunter Ian is wearing the same hat as him there must be a connection between them. Maybe he wants to hide something for this pirate Hunter Ian


    The first possibility, after analyzing it, Sengoku wasnt able to verify it. He didnt know much about Kuma and his past. Theycked key information, so naturally, the reasoning wouldnte up with anything


    Then he started analyzing the second possibility


    This guy, Ians original title is zing de, which shows that he can indeed use fire abilities! Sengoku kept thinking: if this kind of me is regarded as special sword skill, then the lightning power disyed by him while fighting Doberman might be another acquired ability!


    Most likely, he gained this new kind of ability by eating a Devil Fruit. After fighting Kuma, Ian, the pirate hunter, suddenly disappeared for a long period. When he reappeared, he not only became a pirate, but also had some new odd skills


    Sengoku suddenly remembered the two Devil Fruits that the Celestial Dragons reported them as stolen items!


    In the beginning, the Celestial Dragons did not report this to the Marines. After all, in their view, these devil fruits were not a big deal. However, when the Marines investigated the incident in detail afterward, they discovered all the missing things.


    Since these two fruits were stolen, the Marines have been focusing on the auction houses in the underground world for a period of time to see if anyone auctioned the Devil fruits with the same shape as the stolen fruits, they wanted to take this as a clue for the investigation.


    Now Sengoku suddenly thought It is very likely that the Mythical-Type fruit has been eaten by the Pirate hunter Ian!!


    So, this can exin why he suddenly appeared with a lightning ability! Sengoku followed this idea: if this pirate Hunter Ian has escaped after fighting Kuma, and then waited for an opportunity to sneak into Marijoa, intending to steal this devil fruit, but unexpectedly he was discovered by Saint Donquixote Mjosgard, so he murdered him?


    No, no, thats not possible!? If it was him, then how could heunch that ck me Ability when battling with Aokiji? Sengoku frowned: Could it be that he had actually eaten it at that time? And that peculiar devil fruit has granted him the ck dragon wave!? But how!? Whats the exnation for this new lightning power he used?


    Ugh, my head could it be that this fruit provided him with the power of mes and lightning at the same time? Sengoku thought of it, he got more surprised: it seems very possible. After all, this fruits Type was Mythical. Only the one who eats it will know what kind of Devil fruit it is. Maybe the lightning power was developedter?


    Regardless of the spection, Sengoku thought that Ian was very troublesome. Didnt Momonga also say that he saw several tribes among his crew? At that time, he also suspected that he might be the mastermind of the Marijoa incident, so he chased him to the Mainspring Ind and triggered another incident.


    Bang! Sengoku mmed the table, stood up, and said loudly: Immediately investigate the Captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirate Group, Ian!


    Arent you going to issue a bounty for him first? Momonga was taken aback for a moment and asked.


    No! Absolutely not! Sengoku red at him and said, I dont want to make another mistake!


    The Marines were troubled by the fact that they havent yet been able to identify the masked man. If a reward order was issued to the captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirate Group, once the investigation waspleted and it was confirmed that Ian is the ck-clothed man, then the Marines has issued two rewards for the same person!


    What does this prove!? This proves the ipetence of the Marines! Sengoku definitely wont allow such a situation


    Although Momonga didnt understand Sengokus thoughts, he carried out his orders unconditionally.


    More than ten days after the Second ve Liberation Movement of Marijoa (called internally by the Marines), the Marines finally ended the investigation and found the right direction.


    Of course, at present, Ian was only regarded as the main suspect. Everything can be confirmed only after the Marines investigation resultse out. It was not clear how long the investigation will take.


    Naturally, Ian did not know what happened in the Marine headquarters, but even if he did, he would not be surprised.


    He has long been mentally prepared to the fact of exposing his real identity. No matter what people do in this world, they will always leave traces and clues. He did not expect that a cloth mask would hide his identity from the Marines forever.


    At this time, under the guidance of Margaret, the Dragon Hunters saw the ind they were about to reach.


    This was a small ind, named Gramberg Ind on the map.


    After entering the port and stopping the ship, Ian sent out some people to the ind to buy supplies. Ian didnt want to repeat the same mistakes of Mainspring Ind. God knows what idents will happen on this ind, so they should finish the replenishment first.


    Ian didnt go to the ind, for the time being, he stayed on the ship, waiting for his people to return.


    About two hourster, the members of his pirate group came back withrge bags of supplies


    Captain! As soon as Zick from the long-handed n came back, he shouted to Ian with some excitement: This Ind was so strange. Unexpectedly, the products were so cheap and its residents were very poor, but the odd thing was that this ind only had one big building, and its a Casino!


    Whats so weird about it? Ian said with a smile: Since the products were cheap, then its good for us, and if there is no means to attract tourists, how can the people on this ind be rich?


    Hey, hey! Zick rubbed his hands and said, Captain, why dont we go to the casino and y for a while? Its not far


    Ian didnt answer him. Instead, he looked at the other peoples faces. Then he found that many of them were eagerly looking forward to it


    They were basically two types of seamen, the first type was wine lovers and the others were gamblers. When Ian was on the ship, he often sees his crew ying cards and gambling money. He doesnt interfere much. He just tells them to stop when theres work to do. He knows very well that if they dont find something to entertain themselves with on their journey, they would soon go crazy from boredom


    When they were on the ship, they only gambled among the crew members, winning or losing didnt matter because there wasnt that much money involved But now when they heard that there was a casino on the ind, so the situation was different.


    Well, if you want to go to the casino, then lets go together. Ianughed and said, Im going to win some money, too!


    Woohoo! Long live the captain (Not the Hokage!)! Everyone cheered up, and then enthusiastically surrounded Ian and got off the ship.


    Of course, there were also some who were unwilling to go and voluntarily stayed on board, such as Matthew and Ranga.


    Ian wanted to go to the casino and make some money, not that he likes gambling, or has the luck to win, but


    In Ians impression, the people who set up casinos are generally not good folks. They dont n to stay on the ind for long. Maybe when they were about to leave, they could take advantage of this casino?


    Regardless of his gambling skills, Ian only knows that what he has now was


    Strength!
