"It seems these Fishmen really know how to enjoy life!"
In Arlong Park, while Nami took Ann and the others to search for treasure left behind by Arlong's Gang, Ian wandered alone through the park.
"This place faces the sea and is rich in tangerines. With a little renovation, it could be a holiday resort!"
"When This Young Master returns to the Holy Land, I will arrange for some people to take over this place and transform it into a spot facing the sea with blooming flowers. When I have free time, I'll come here for a vacation!"
"Gunko, did you hear that?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Gunko suddenly appeared before Ian, "Young Master, CP0 agents just sent word. They have now entered Syrup Village. Should we immediately execute the order and annihilate all members of the Usopp Pirates?"
"No need for all of them!"
Ian waved his hand, his tone calm: "This so-called Usopp Pirates is not a real pirate crew. It's just a few Syrup Village villagers role-playing."
"Ah?"
Gunko was completely stunned. Just a few villagers role-playing as pirates? Do CP0 agents really need to get involved? The Marine could just go into the village and arrest them!
But soon, Gunko understood.
Her Young Master had a habit: he liked to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Things like many bullying few, overkill, or using a sledgehammer to crack a nut were not shameful in her Young Master's eyes, but rather very reasonable actions.
"What do you mean 'ah'?"
Ian turned to look at Gunko, "Immediately order CP0 to secretly arrest and detain Usopp, the Captain of the Usopp Pirates. He might be useful in the future!"
"Yes!"
Gunko dared not delay and immediately took out her den den mushi to issue the order!
After issuing the order, Gunko glanced at Ian and tentatively asked, "Young Master, could this Usopp also have a background we don't know about, just like the revolutionary army leader's son in Foosha Village?"
"Otherwise, why arrest him?"
Ian raised his hand and pinched Gunko's cheek, "Usopp's father is Yasopp, the sniper of the Red Hair Pirates and one of the original crew members to join the Red Hair Pirates. His relationship with Shanks is more than just Captain and crew. By arresting and detaining Usopp, when This Young Master encounters the Red Hair Pirates in the future, I want to play a game of choice with them!"
Hearing this, Gunko fell silent.
As a member of God's Knights, she naturally knew Red Hair Shanks very well.
However, her understanding of Shanks was not because he was one of the Four Emperors ruling the New World, but because of Shanks's other identity: the twin son of Gringo, the Captain of God's Knights!
Furthermore, Shanks had lived in the Holy Land for a period of time.
Then, for unknown reasons, Shanks suddenly chose to abandon his Celestial Dragons identity and resolutely left the Holy Land, transforming into the Captain of the Red Hair Pirates. A few years ago, he successfully ascended to become one of the Four Emperors ruling the New World.
If Shanks had not left the Holy Land, he would surely have become Gringo's right-hand man along with his twin brother Shamrock, and might even have become the next Vice Captain of God's Knights.
Ian's order to arrest and detain Usopp was clearly due to his dissatisfaction with Shanks, intending to make Yasopp choose between his son and his Captain.
The outcome was not important.
What was important was that her Young Master loved to play all kinds of games.
"Oh, and Shanks also has a daughter named Uta, who lived in Foosha Village for a period when she was young."
"Order the CP0 agents that after they secretly arrest and detain Usopp, they are to immediately depart for Elegia Kingdom to arrest Uta and send her to the Holy Land. Uta's exact location won't be hard to find, as she is very popular in that country and is known to the world as the Red Hair Diva."
Sure enough, upon hearing Ian immediately target Shanks's daughter and order CP0 to arrest her and send her to the Holy Land, Gunko silently praised her own intelligence.
Ian's move must be to let Shanks also experience the joy of the game immediately after the choice game between Yasopp and his son concludes.
Wait—
Red Hair Diva?
Gunko's eyes lit up again. As a music enthusiast, she had always been keen on collecting various music slaves. Now, suddenly hearing about a Red Hair Diva in Elegia, how could she not be tempted?
However, remembering Ian's order was to arrest this Red Hair Diva and send her to the Holy Land, she immediately suppressed her desire to make Uta her own music slave.
Imu's order was to arrest and send her to the Holy Land, not to detain her, which meant this Red Hair Diva was already one of her Young Master's designated concubines. As a maid, how could she dare to contend with her Young Master?
Although Gunko quickly suppressed her thoughts, Ian still caught it in his eyes and smiled: "I almost forgot Gunko is a music lover. After we leave the East Blue, This Young Master will personally catch you a soul singer to play with."
"Really?" Gunko's eyes lit up again.
Ian nodded: "Do you know the Florian Triangle? There's a ghost ship in that sea area, and on board is a former pirate. Although he ate the Revive-Revive Fruit, even though he's now just a pile of bones, he still maintains all human behaviors. Of course, none of that is important. What's important is that he's very good at music. Once he leaves that ghost ship, he'll surely become a household name as a soul singing king!"
Gunko's curiosity was completely piqued, "A skeleton? A soul singing king? A Revive-Revive Fruit user?"
Ian smiled slightly: "Isn't that interesting?"
Gunko nodded vigorously, like a woman in love.
But soon, Gunko noticed something she found hard to understand and cautiously said: "Young Master, are you… sure this is your first time leaving the Holy Land? How do I feel that Young Master possesses more information than CP0 agents who are constantly on missions outside?"
"Not only do you know Dragon has a son hidden by Garp on Mt. Colubo, but you also know Yasopp has a son in Syrup Village and Red Hair Shanks's daughter is a Red Hair Diva. Now you even know about a ghost ship in the Florian Triangle."
"Could it be true, as Imu said, that Young Master is omniscient and omnipotent?"
"Omniscient and omnipotent?" Ian's mouth twitched slightly, "Are you sure that's something Mom would say?"
Gunko's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head, saying: "Actually, it was Gunko who said it! Please punish This Young Master!"
Ian waved his hand, looked around, and then changed the subject: "I'm hungry!"
"Ah?"
Gunko's eyes instantly widened, "Now? Should I call Ann over, or the newly recruited Nami? Or, both of them? If not, Gunko can also!"
"?????"
Ian was full of question marks, staring blankly at Gunko. It was several seconds before he spoke, "Gunko? Is your head filled with those kinds of things now? This Young Master is hungry! Go, find a way to locate Arlong's Gang's pet, Moomoo. This Young Master wants to eat charcoal-grilled sea cow!"
"Oh."
"So, you were hungry!"
"I thought…"
Gunko turned away shyly, fleeing as if escaping.
