Chapter 425: Teach in Drum Ind


    It was about half a monthter that Mihawk met Red-Haired Shanks, Now lets go back a little bit to the time when he left from Ians ship.


    At this time, on the sea of the Grand Line, a big ship was sailing.


    On board this ship, there were five people who just escaped from the Marine patrol ship, it was the ckbeard Pirates.


    After a few days of sailing, the ckbeard Pirates ship entered a cold and gusty sea area, snowkes began to fall from the sky, and the north wind was blowing very cold.


    Captain Teach, theres an ind ahead!


    Burgess shouted to Teach who was steering the ship, he asked Shall we dock?


    No need, isnt it better if we go to basta sooner? Teach said.


    But, our water supply is running low! Laffitte said from the side.


    Teach thought for a moment and had no choice but to let Burgess prepare to dock on the ind.


    After escaping from Kuinas pursuit, Teach and his crew sailed ording to their Log Pose, when they realized their chosen route was leading them to basta, Teach began to have some ideas.


    With Domingos defeat by Ian and the revtion of his crimes, now Domingos Shichibukai position was vacant, and Teach has always wanted to take a Shichibukai position, so he could implement his n, which was mentioned earlier.


    Teach had always harbored a grand n to make a name for himself among the infamous pirates of the sea. He envisioned taking out a few well-known names and quickly rising to fame, catching the attention of the Marines and ultimately being considered for a spot among the Shichibukai.


    But as he sailed the treacherous waters of the Grand Line, opportunities for Teach to put his n into action were scarce. The pirates he encountered were small fry, not worth the effort to eliminate.


    But as fate would have it, his journey would lead him to basta, and with that realization, a new idea formed in his mind. He remembered that one of the Shichibukai, Crocodile, was located there!


    Crocodile had been spotted in Dressrosa with Ian, but it was likely that he had returned to his base.


    The opportunity to defeat a Shichibukai and prove his strength to the Marines was too good to pass up. But even better, Crocodiles association with Ian presented an added bonus. Teach and Ian had a long-standing grudge and taking out one of Ians allies would be a satisfying victory.


    As Teachs ship was approaching basta, he couldnt help but feel a sense of excitement. This was his chance to make a name for himself, to take out a powerful pirate and im a spot among the Shichibukai. But there was one more reason, a secret motivation that only he knew. He couldnt wait to put his n into action


    With a goal firmly in mind, Teach and his crew set sail towards basta. But as any sailor would know, some things are beyond ones control. Running out of water was just such an unfortunate event that left them with no choice but to dock on the ind known as Drum Ind.


    Brrr!


    As soon as they set foot on the ind, Teach couldnt help but shiver from the cold. This winter ind was too chilly for his liking.


    Dammit, lets hurry and finish up so we can leave this ce! Teach grumbled to his crew, I dont want to spend a moment longer in this godforsaken ce.


    However, just as they were about to set off, Van Augur, who carried a strange long sniper on his shoulder, suddenly spoke up, Captain, it seems like somethings not right. I saw a ck pirate g in the vige ahead


    Teach was taken aback, Pirate g? Whose territory is this ind?


    The g has a sword piercing through a dragons head, thats the g of the Dragon Hunter Pirates! Van Augur replied.


    Hearing this, Teach felt a sense of dread wash over him, why was it that wherever he went, he always seemed to run into the Hunter Pirate Crew?!


    But at the same time, he also sensed that something was amiss. He had a feeling that seeing the Hunter Pirate Crews g on this ind was foretelling something ominous.


    In fact, at this moment, Teach was unaware that Ace and Ian had already embarked on a voyage to hunt him down.


    After his escape from the Whitebeard Pirates, Teach feared that Whitebeard would send men after him. After all, he had killed hisrades and fled, a crime that is heavily punishable within the Whitebeard Pirates. Even when Ian tried to assassinate Teach, if it wasnt for Teach surviving, Whitebeard might have taken action against Ian.


    He knew this, but Teach was unaware of who was specifically hunting him within the Whitebeard Pirates. After his escape, he had no reliable sources of information.


    He had only surmised that it could be Ace, after all, he was a member of the second division and it would make sense for the division captain to lead the pursuit.


    However, recently, Teach had stumbled upon a newspaper article about Domingos downfall. In it, Ace and Ians names were mentioned in passing, which led him to believe that they were still in Dressrosa.


    This was a grave error on his part, he had no idea that Ace and Ian had already left Dressrosa and were now hot on his heels.


    As heid eyes on the g of the Hunter Pirates, Teach immediately thought this could be Ians hiding spot.


    His eyes grew dark with suspicion.


    Well, well, lets go ashore and take a look, Teachmanded four members.


    And so, the five of them disembarked on the ind and made their way into the vige nestled at the base of the mountain.


    However, they were unaware that the Drum Ind Kingdom was not sheltered by Ian, not even Ian knew that someone had hanged his g on this ind!


    The Drum Ind Kingdom was liberated by Ian when he killed their king Wapol and freed the inds doctor, so the people on the ind were grateful to Ian, and when they learned of his pirate crew name and g, they voluntarily hung his g.


    In the eyes of these inders, Ian was like Crocodile, a hero of the country, hanging his g just tomemorate the great pirate who had evernded on their ind.


    Because of Ians pirate identity, the people of Drum Ind did not hate pirates, but they were even weing of them. So when Teach and his crewnded on the ind, they were warmly weed.


    But unfortunately, Teach was not a kind-hearted person, so the vigers were unlucky


    The impact of Ian in the storyline appeared again, originally, the ckbeard Pirates had indeednded on Drum Ind, but at that time, because of Wapols rule, the ports here were guarded by soldiers, so those soldiers, seeing that ckbeard and his crew were pirates, they extorted them, and ckbeard, in a rage, destroyed most of the country.


    And upon seeing ckbeards astonishing power, Wapol realized that he was not a match for this monster and fled the ind.


    Now, with the unfortunate death of Wapol, ckbeard and his crew were able to disembark without any trouble. Typically, one would expect the ckbeard Pirates to quickly leave the country after restocking their supplies and go their separate ways. However, fate had other ns when they saw the g of the dragon hunter Pirates hanging in a nearby vige.


    Coincidences happen in this world, even Ian couldnt have predicted this turn of events.


    Teach flew into a rage upon seeing this, he directly used his powers of the Yami Yami no Mi to destroy the vige. Although many vigers had the foresight to flee, the damage was still done, and they lost their homes.


    But the destruction did not stop there, Teach, feeling unsatisfied, went on to destroy several more surrounding viges.


    In an instant, the entire Kingdom of Dressrosa was left with many injured people
