Ian didn't guess wrong. Shanks came out this time because Hawkeye went to see Shanks after meeting him, which made Shanks come to Ian temporarily.

However, it was really a coincidence that I met Ian here in Holy Poplar, not a prophet of Shanks.

In fact, when Ian decided to hunt down Blackbeard Tiki with Ace, there was another deviation. Originally, if Ace hunted Tiki alone, Shanks would finally choose to meet Edward Whitebeard. Newgate, and told Daddy about the dangers of Blackbeard, and hoped that Whitebeard could recall Ace, so that he would stop chasing Blackbeard.

The last time Ace found Shanks, he thanked Shanks for saving Luffy, and he knew Shanks, but even with such a relationship, Shanks never thought about looking for Ai directly. Si, let him give up the pursuit, this is because Shanks knows that Ace is a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the only person who can make him give up the pursuit is Whitebeard, even if he comes forward to find Ace directly Let Ace stop here.

So Shanks originally planned to set off and go to the new world to find Daddy Whitebeard once. Even Shanks already knew at that time that Ace and Ian were hunting Blackbeard together, and he did not change this idea.

The reason is very simple. At that time, Shanks and Ian didn't know each other at all. Coupled with the identity of Ian Qiwuhai, he was afraid that it would backfire.

However, when the friend Hawkeye came and told Shanks about the relationship between him and Ian, Shanks changed his plans.

Those who can become the Four Emperors have their own pride. Shanks knows the character of Whitebeard very well. He knows that if his younger generation finds Whitebeard, Whitebeard may not listen to him. Shanks will choose to go to see Whitebeard, but now he has a better choice, that is to use the relationship between Hawkeye and Ian to see Ian and Ace.

Shanks knew that Ian almost joined the Whitebeard Pirates at the beginning, and Ace was a close friend and a brother. If Ian could be persuaded, maybe he could even bring Ace along with him. Abandoning plans to hunt Blackbeard.

This is the reason why he suddenly went out to sea. At that time, his change made the naval ships monitoring them startled, and hurriedly reported the movement of the Red-haired Pirates to the Navy Headquarters.

It's just that Shanks had limited understanding of Ian at the time. His deeds about Ian, the Qiwuhai, came from hearsay, although he knew that Ian had fought with the admiral of the Navy, and he didn't know why he became the seventh Wu Hai, but he has never really met Ian after all, and has no understanding of Ian's strength at all.

In his opinion, even if Ian and Ace hunt down Blackbeard together, there is a high possibility that something will happen, because Blackbeard is too sinister.

However, what surprised Shanks was that when he was about to approach St.tin Island in Alabasta, a piece of news suddenly came that Ian and Ace had successfully captured him. The Blackbeard Pirates, and they have been taken away by the Whitebeard Pirates!

This news must have made Shanks quite depressed, because it was beyond his expectations.

Blackbeard was arrested. After Shanks repeatedly confirmed that the news was true, his purpose of looking for Ian and Ace was in vain, so after thinking about it, Shanks could only decide to continue watching the situation. At the same time, because they learned that Ian and the others had set off and left Alabasta, Shanks could only turn to leave.

That's why the Red Hair Pirates "turned around suddenly" in the Navy report...

At that time, Ian and their sailing route was originally on Gaya Island, but Shanks lost the purpose of looking for Ian, and naturally it was impossible to go to Gaya Island to stay, and it happened because of their ship Red Foss The ship accidentally hit a reef while sailing.

It caused a little damage to the bottom of the ship, so after turning around and leaving, Shanks brought the red-haired pirates to Holy Poplar Island, where he wanted to buy some high-quality wood to repair the Red Falls. .

It's just that Shanks didn't think that during the time he was sailing to Holy Poplar, Ian's ship did not go to Gaya Island, but was unfortunately involved in the island adventure of Luffy. , actually followed Luffy and the others to the empty island, and when they returned, because they captured Enilu's ark motto, there was a deviation on the route, and it even fell on the route of St. Poplar Island. !

On the boat before, Shanks didn't notice the pirate flag hanging on the ark's proverb. He was just attracted by this golden ship, but his deputy captain Ben Bankman was holding it in his mouth. The handsome uncle of the pipe noticed this, so he told Shanks.

The ship of the Dragon Hunter Pirates suddenly appeared here, which was really unexpected for Shanks. He made a special trip to look for it but failed to come across it. It's a joke of fate.

However, in any case, since they met here, Shanks decided to meet Ian. He was also very curious about Ian, because his friend Hawkeye, who had always been alone, would actually know how to meet Ian. Suddenly there was a nephew who didn't say anything, and he came to him for a drink. He seemed very happy, so Shanks naturally wanted to see Ian.

After sitting down and listening to Shanks talk like this, Ian finally realized that after he and Ace left Alabasta, such things happened.

Looking at the red-haired uncle who laughed from time to time, Ian felt really strange.

Although the red-haired Shanks is the fourth emperor, his usual personality is actually very easy-going. He didn't even mention the incident of Anilu attacking him just now. It seems that he didn't take it to heart at all. look.

This Ian made sense, because in his impression, when the red-haired Shanks was in the East China Sea Windmill Village, he was still smiling when he was provoked by a group of bandits.

But this doesn't mean that the redhead is harmless, but because of these provocations, as long as it doesn't touch Shanks' bottom line, he won't care.

This seemingly neurotic personality makes Ian feel very familiar, because it seems that the guy Luffy has such a personality.

Luffy may have been influenced by Shanks' character, so who influenced Shanks' character? Ian thought about it and thought that there was only one person who could do this, and that was Pirate King Gol D. Roger!

Thinking of Roger, Ian suddenly thought of a person, that is the Hades Rayleigh!

Uncle Rayleigh, is he okay? Ian suddenly misses him a bit.

As the deputy captain of One Piece, Rayleigh actually mentioned Shanks to Ian at the beginning, so Ian couldn't help but said to Shanks: "That... Brother Shanks... I'll call you that. , Uncle Rayleigh once mentioned you to me..."

puff! Shanks was drinking the beer brought by Matthew, but after hearing Ian's words, he spit it out!

"Cough! Cough!!" Shanks coughed a few times, then raised his head and looked at Ian in surprise: "You... who did you just say!?"

"Uncle Rayleigh! Hades Rayleigh!" Ian repeated.

Shanks looked at Ian in disbelief: "You... Where did you hear this name?"

"Uncle Rayleigh told me himself!" Ian reacted after finishing speaking, and said, "Oh! By the way, you haven't seen Uncle Rayleigh for a long time, right? So you may not know, I've already become Uncle Rayleigh's disciple before!"

Shanks was really shocked at this time. He had no idea that Ian was actually Rayleigh's disciple! ?

He has indeed not seen Rayleigh for many years, because Rayleigh has been living in seclusion on Chambord Island after disbanding. Due to his identity, Shanks never got close to the island. After all, it is close to the navy. Headquarters, once he appears, there may be a large number of naval ships waiting for him...

"That... Also, Luffy once mentioned you to me!" Ian seemed to think that he was not shocked enough, and then threw out this sentence, saying: "My junior brother Zoro is in Luffy. In the pirate group, and Luffy is Ace's younger brother, this time we are in the sky, and we all stay together..."

Shanks was completely dumbfounded at this time. He never thought that there was such a deep relationship between Ian and him, apart from the relationship with Hawkeye!

I can't describe Shanks' mood at this time. I originally thought that the two should be very strange people. I didn't expect that after such a chat, I suddenly found out that the other party was in my group at all. This is really amazing!

Shanks finally knew why Ian called him big brother just now. Shanks is only about 37 years old now, and Ian is only 20 years old. In addition, now that the two have such a deep relationship, then this A big brother is really a good call...

"Wow hahaha!" After Shanks came back to his senses, he burst into laughter with joy. If he had known this earlier, he should have directly found Ian and had a drink with him for what he had done so much in the past.

He laughed loudly, patted Ian on the shoulder vigorously, turned his head at the same time, and shouted to Ben Bankman on the Red Firth opposite them, "Ben! Come here! Hahaha, come see you. See our little brother, come to the banquet!"
