Chapter 260: Fear Us


    Before listening to Nanas story, Ian had some doubts about the situation.


    That is how and why didnt the residents of this ind discover the existence of Thunderstone for so many years, and it happened that these energy stones were found only after the appearance of this King.


    Just luck? Give me a break! This Thunderstone does not seem to be a directly produced mineral, which is derived from refining. If they didnt know about the existence of this thing, then how could they think of extracting and purifying it?


    Moreover, from the description, the purpose of the king seems to be very clear. the reason behind his upation of the kings throne was to seize this material. It is by no means a temporary intention or idental discovery.


    Therefore, Ian doubts the identity of this king. Although Nana said that the new king seems to be an old pirate with a 340-million bounty, which can be ssified as a strong pirate, Ian does not think that a pirate alone could have such knowledge. The current problem is the identity of this pirate Ian muste into contact with him now.


    After listening carefully to Ians analysis, Fujitora agreed with his statement, saying: Indeed, this king may really be a problem. If a guy can get a bounty of 340 million, then he is definitely not an ordinary pirate. Such a pirate can easily get an important position in any of the Yonkos groups, and whats fishy about this is that he decided to be the king of such a small ind?


    The inds economy is not that strong, it is not the kind of ind with beautiful scenery that can attract tourists, and its poption is also very small. Although they had some gemstones, they were all poor mines with small output. To be a king in such a country nning to make a fortune with these conditions was unrealistic It cant also bepared with a big country like Dressrosa or basta.


    If Nana had not been lucky enough to save one of the rebelmanders in this area, learning the background story, and discovering the existence of the Thunderstone, Im afraid they would keep scratching their heads and pondering about the purpose of this pirate/king.


    Its really a misfortune of the people here that such a pirate bes their king! Fujitora said, Lets go, Captain, lets see who this 340 million pirate is!


    Ian smiled slightly, turned, and shouted: Turn the rudder to the Left ny-degree, lets find their port!


    The ce where theynded before was on the side of the ind on a beach, not the port. Of course, they had to turn around tond on another side of the ind.


    After going around the ind for half a circle, Ian and the others finally saw the location of the port. The port here was very small, but at this time, it has been upied byrge and small pirate ships. On these ships, there were different pirate gs. Needless to say, these were all the mercenaries hired by the king.


    However, its a bit inappropriate to call them gangsters, its more appropriate to call them mercenaries. Real pirates dont live by just bordering an ind, they steal everything in their ways, caravans, ships, and towns anyway, these guys were just mercenaries, as long as they get paid, they were willing to do anything, like suppressing poor civilians


    This reminded Ian of Buggys future mercenary organization


    At this time, there were some watchmen on these pirate ships berthed at the port. These pirates stayed on the deck drinking Sake. Although they were all employed by the same boss at the moment, the rtionship between these pirates was not so harmonious. Ian saw from a distance that a pirate who had drunk too much wine stood on the side of his ship, facing a nearby pirate ship close to them, pulled down his pants, and start peeing!


    Although this guys urination couldnt reach the other ship, he still humiliated the nearby Pirate Group in this way. The drunk pirate and hispanionsughed and flicked their middle fingers to the other ship.


    In this way, the other group had to react to such actions, so an arrow was immediately shot near the hip of the one who urinated. Although the arrow missed, the drunk pirate was startled, so the people on both sides started cursing at each other.


    The farce there has attracted other pirate groups docked behind them. They were bored because they were on the rear. At this time, when they saw such a good show, they naturallyughed loudly and started booing. At the same time, they begin to encourage the two sides to fight.


    The most interesting thing in this world is probably watching other peoples fights and gather around as a crowd of spectators. Everyone in this world had the same kind of spirit


    However, Ians ship appeared under such circumstances!


    Since the Dragon Hunters ship was modified from a marine warship, it was muchrger than other ships, especially with such cannons on the front, which were very eye-catching. As the pirates who spend many years at sea, they could distinguish the marines ships from miles away, so when Ian and the others just turned from the side of the ind, they were spotted by the pirates in the harbor.


    HuhMarines!? A pirate who was dizzy and drunk, when he saw Ians ship, he got so scared that he sobered up immediately, thinking it was the Marinesing As a result, he rubbed his eyes hard and saw their ck hull and ck pirate g clearly. Then he got relieved


    As the ship approached, more and more pirates saw Ians ship and couldnt help but eximed: My God! That turned out to be a pirate ship converted from a marine warship! Which pirate group had the courage to do such thing!?


    In this sea, the ipetent pirate groups dont dare to have the idea to go against the marines, while the powerful ones may not be impressed or interested in their warships, so its really rare for pirates to steal a warship and turning it into their ships. No wonder why these pirates were so surprised when they saw Ians ship figure


    Due to the suns direction at this time, many pirates have not been able to see Ians g clearly, so they were all specting about which Pirate Group has the balls to do such a thing.


    The pirates, who were fighting, stopped ying around and went to the back of their ship, looking at the ship heading towards the port, and some clever pirates even jumped off the ship and went to the city to report to their captains.


    A gust of wind finally brought some clouds and revealed the pirate g on the top of Ians mast. The pattern of the sword inserted the dragon skull made the pirates stunned.


    At the first sight of this pirate g pattern, many people couldnt remember which Pirate Groups g it was, but they had a feeling that they have seen it somewhere, so they searched for the right memory in their minds.


    In the new world, the most important thing is to remember the Jolly Roger of the famous pirates. Only in this way can they ensure that they wont provoke enemies they shouldnt


    And slowly, after digging in the right ces, the face of many pirates suddenly turned pale!


    I remembered them! F*CK, isnt this the dragon hunter pirate group that appeared on the screens not long time ago!?


    Thinking of this, the pirates staying at the harbor suddenly gasped, and immediately cursed! $hit, thats a dangerous group!


    Whats the matter with this little ind recently? First, the king hired a lot of pirates to ughter his citizens, and now suddenly there is a great pirate group that can resist an attack of two marine admirals!?


    If I remember correctly, the captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirate Group is a young man with a 650-million bounty!


    They they seem to be docking at this port!? A pirate who came back to his senses suddenly said.


    That being said, the pirates in the port were all shocked. Looking around, they found that the small port had been filled with pirate ships There was no ce where they could dock. In fact, they did this with the intention of blocking all the exits and preventing the people on the ind from escaping.


    However, such a blockade, at this moment, made all the pirates panic!


    Quickly, untie the cables on the shore! On a pirate ship right in the middle of the port, someone yelled, and the ships behind roared in a panic: Our ship must get out first, we need to open some space!


    After seconds of these shouts, the pirates on the front ship immediately jumped out of the sea and swam towards the shore. They hurriedly began to untie the ropes. Not only them, but even several ships nearby did the same!


    Although these pirates were rude and fierce, at sea, there were rules that they secretly abide by. Usually, if there is a conflict between the pirate groups, then when the captain with the higher bounty stands in front of the one with the lower reward and brings this matter up, thetter will basically lose in terms of imposing manner.


    This is the bounty ssification between factions and pirates!


    Obviously, the fame and might of the Dragon hunting Pirate Group preceded them. Therefore, in order to prevent angering this great Group, these pirates have to quickly give up their spots and make room for the arriving ship, giving them a ce to dock.


    From a distance, the members of the Dragon Hunter Pirate Group also saw the panic in the port. After a little guess, they knew what had happened, so for no reason, a strong sense of pride suddenly rose in the hearts of Ians crew.


    Look at us, fear us, we are the Dragon Hunters, our Pirate Group will soon be the crew of the new Shichibukai! Its our presence that these rude bastards fear!


    Unconsciously, all the members of the Dragon Hunter Pirate Group pumped their chests and looked coldly at the pirates who were getting closer and closer.


    Even Ian felt the fierce atmosphere bursting out of his crew. He sat on the deck chair, looked back at the expressions of everyone, and immediately understood what was going on, so he couldnt help smiling.


    Haha, is that so? In that case, its time to show the world our aura
