"Here we are!" Ian stopped outside the dojo.
At noon, Koshiro was basking by sunlight in the yard. Ian saw him at a glance. After running over, he said to Koshiro, "Sensei, someone has come to see you!"
When he said this, Ian kept staring at Koshiro, but he found that Koshiro was still smiling. He was not surprised by Ivankov's appearance.
"Hello! Long time no see!" Koshiro greeted him and smiled to Ivankov and Kuma.
"Mr. Koshiro!" Kuma remained silent, but Ivankov screamed and laughed.
Ian has been paying attention to the dialogue between the two sides. He has always thought that Master Koshiro might have something to do with the revolutionary army, but it seemed that there was something wrong with this situation.
Koshiro said nothing to Ivankov and Kuma, as well as the attitude of the revolutionary soldiers towards Koshiro, were not like the attitude of seeing their companions. How to say it, they were not familiar with each other but appeared to be polite, as if they were ordinary guests.
Ian was thinking about it carefully, he felt that Master Koshiro was really a member of the revolutionary army, how could he stay in Frost Moon Village for so many years?
'Retire? Don't be funny. The Revolutionary Army has only been active in the world for a few years now.'
Therefore, Ian felt that Master Koshiro should not be a member of the Revolutionary Army. Is it true that, as Ivankov said, he is only an old "Acquaintance "?
Ian was so distracted that he did not hear what Master Koshiro and Ivankov said. When he saw Master Koshiro reach out and lead them into the dojo, Ian came back to his mind.
The group was brought into the dojo as a guest. Since there was no special reception room in the dojo, so the two sides sat down in the venue. Ian has wanted to hear what they were going to say, but Koshiro unexpectedly asked him to make tea.
Unfortunately, Ian had to go to the back kitchen to make tea. He turned around and didn't see Kuina. He didn't know where she was going to exercise. So did Zoro. The fool was probably lost in the hill.
After a while, Ian boiled the water, took out several cups and brewed the tea, then put them on the plate and carried them out.
When Ian arrived, the tea was given to everyone. He found that he did not know what the two sides had talked about. Although Master Koshiro smiled, he could detect a trace of desolate expression.
When he saw Ian coming, Koshiro said to him again, "Ian, you go to the warehouse to count and see how much food we have left."
'Food supplies? Ah, yes, Ivankov, they came to Frost Moon Village, it seems to be preparing food.'
Sure enough, Ivankov said, "We'll buy it by the market price!"
But Koshiro shook his head and said, "No, it's not worth much, I will just give it to you."
Ivankov did not refuse. When Ian saw that there was nothing wrong, he turned and went out. When he was ready to go to the warehouse to count the supplies, Master Koshiro's voice came from behind. "Who just went out is my oldest disciple in the dojo..."
Ian estimated that Master Koshiro was introducing him to Ivankov, so he didn't mind.
The grain in the warehouse is produced in the dojo field. So few people eat in the dojo and consume less, so there was still a lot of surpluses. Ian spent some time counting and found that there were more than 100 bags, according to a bag of about 50 kilograms to calculate, there were not more than 5,000 kilograms of grain, wheat, and rice.
Ian ran back and reported it to Koshiro, Ivankov finally decided to take 3,000 kilograms of grain. Ian looked at them and found that they were only seven or eight people. More than 3,000 kilograms of grain, how they would carry it them out.
However, while Ian was thinking of that, Kuma suddenly stood up and asked Ian to take him to the warehouse.
He clamped the thick book under his armpit, then freed his left hand and took off his right-hand glove, revealing a strange-looking palm.
On the palm of that hand, there is a soft-looking paw-shaped bubble, just like a cat's paw, which makes people feel like touching when they see it.
'Paw-Paw Fruit!' Ian's mind suddenly appeared such a noun.
'Sure enough, Uncle Kuma, are you actually the deepest hidden thing in the world of One Piece?'
Even Ian had an impulse to touch his paw...
Kuma walked to the place where the food was stacked and touched it gently with his right hand.
Then, in Ian's astonished eyes, half of the grain disappeared in an instant.
Before, Ian was wondering how they would carry the grain, but he didn't expect to use this method!
Ian knows that the food that disappeared was actually shot by Kuma with his paw, and by this time, it must have landed on the shore of their boat.
It's really convenient! Ian looked at Kuma admiringly. Sometimes he thinks about the unscientific things of the Devil Fruit. Could he get to eat one?
When the bullet flew over the grain and brought his gloves,
After Kuma flew the grain, he brought his gloves. Ian thought he was going out of the warehouse, but he suddenly opened his mouth and asked Ian in a low voice, "If you were to travel, where'd you go?"
It's good that he didn't speak much, and when he did, he made Ian tremble.
'What the f*ck! Why this sentence sounds so familiar!'
So he quickly waved his hand and said: "I don't want to travel for the time being, and even if I want to go later, I will go by boat myself!"
Kuma looked down at him. The height gap between them was so obvious. There was a feeling of an elephant watching a mouse. Although the side counted as a mouse made Ian very uncomfortable, he felt enormous pressure at the moment because he finally remembered that Bartholomew Kuma had another nickname and identity.
'Tyrant! One of the seven Shichibukai!'
'He won't be angry, will he?' Ian thought that according to the situation of the grain he had just flown, he must have found himself taking them around the village. Otherwise, how could he have projected grain from the dojo to the coast so accurately?
Ian was worried, but suddenly Kuma brought something out and handed it to Ian with his gloved palm.
"For taking your food, this is a gift!" Kuma's voice was still low.
When Ian looked at it, he found that what was in his palm was a tiny Den Den Mushi!
This Den Den Mushi was pink, very small, with a shell on its back and a circle of patterns on it. It was also connected to a microphone with a wire. On the side of the shell, there was a circle of numbers like a dial, from 0 to 9.
The Den Den Mushi was sleeping at this time, with two big eyes closed. Ian took it over, poked it curiously, but found that he could not wake it up.
"This is a young Den Den Mushi." Kuma said, "Take it with you, and when it grows up, it will become yours."
"So amazing!?" Ian carefully held the little pink guy and asked, "Can it make calls when it grows up?"
"After growing up, there will be a number on the shell, that is your number!" Kuma said. This was the first time Ian heard him say so much.
'This is the iPhone XS of the pirate world, isn't it? When it grows up, it will become an iPhone XS!' (LOL XD the author wrote it iPhone 7S, and I changed it XD to XS)
Ian was so excited. He didn't expect that Kuma would give him a Den Den Mushi as a gift. He couldn't help saying, "Thank you, Uncle Kuma!"
As soon as he said that, Ian knew that he made a mistake! 'It was at this moment he knew he f*cked up' XD

Bartholomew Kuma, he did not introduce himself to Ian. To be precise, among the members of the Revolutionary Army, Ian should know only the name of Ivankov!
Sure enough, after calling him Uncle Kuma, Kuma suddenly became silent and looked at Ian without speaking.
Fortunately, Ian was quick-witted and naïve: "Uncle Kuma (Kuma means bear), can I call you that? I like your hat! It's like a bear!"
When Kuma entered the dojo, he had already taken off his cloak. Now Kuma was wearing his black and white bear cap, which was used as an excuse to call him Uncle Kuma.
After hearing Ian's words, Kuma turned his head and stopped looking at him. Just as Ian was quietly relieved, Kuma made an action that he could never have imagined.
He took off his bear's ear cap and fastened it on Ian's head.
"If you like, give it to you!" (PS: he sometimes talks strangely)
At this moment, Ian was so confused. 'What the hell is it?'
1557
Ian didn't know what Kuma thought and why he gave him his hat, but this silent man has always been incomprehensible for Ian, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Kuma went out, and Ian took the bear's ear cap on his head and looked at this cute cap in his hand. Ian felt like something was stuck in his throat and didn't know how to spit it out.
'What the Hell, do people in this world like to give hats so much?'
He didn't know what would he looks like wearing this hat. Ian imagined it and suddenly felt drowned with embarrassment.
But he also knows that Kuma may be more kind to him. If the Den Den Mushi was a gift for the Dojo's food, then this hat should be his personal thank-you gift.
As a last resort, Ian had to wear this bear's ear cap.
When he returned to the Dojo, Ian heard a burst of laughter from the inside, which made him very surprised. It was impossible to imagine that the more traditional man like Master Koshiro could get on with Ivankov.
Walking in, Ian said to Koshiro, "Sensei, it's done!"
"So, we have to leave!" Ivankov stood up from the ground and put on a hood again, covering his explosive purple head.
So do Kuma and the other revolutionary army soldiers, who have once again covered themselves up tightly.
Koshiro was looking at the hat on Ian's head in surprise. When he heard Ivankov's words, he came back and asked, "Will you stay a little longer?"
"No, it's not good to stay in the village for a long time!" Ivankov said: "We will go to the beach and wait for the ship to arrive."
Koshiro nodded and said to Ian, "Ian, send them off!"
"All right!" In fact, he didn't need Koshiro to say it, Ian also decided to do so. Ivankov said that they would go to the beach and wait for their ship. Dragon must be there, so Ian wanted to go with them and see him.
Ian led the way out of the dojo, Ivankov and Kuma followed, while the revolutionary soldiers bowed respectfully to Koshiro before they came out.
"..." Watching the people leaving, the dojo became empty, and Koshiro sat down and did not say a word. No one knows what he was thinking.
Along the way, all the revolutionary soldiers, including Iva, looked at the cute bear's ear cap sprouting on Ian's head in some surprise.
They naturally knew that it was Kuma's hat. They were surprised that Kuma would give his own hat to someone else.
But even Ivankov didn't ask what was going on when he looked at Kuma who wasn't wearing his hat at the moment. They just stared at Ian intensely.
Feeling the burning sight behind him, Ian only felt itchy all over, so at this time, he didn't take them around in circles, he went straight to the beach, and soon they went out of the village.
The revolutionary soldier who fought with Ian scratched his head and said strangely, "Huh! It seems that we arrived so fast, not like when we came!"
Ian looked back at him with a severe look and said, "Nah, your delusion!"
"Really?" The revolutionary soldier was also a little insecure.
"Yeah!" Ian nodded with certainty: "You're probably hungry! So it was an illusion."
Ivankov saw this scene, laughed happily and said, "What a good boy!"
Ian shrugged his shoulders, and he knew that the detours could not be concealed from Ivankov and Kuma. But who made him look like a child now, Children's pranks would be forgiven, wouldn't they?
Frost Moon Village is not a big village, and the population is not very large. When Ian brought people to the beach, he could see a few small fishing boats tied to the beach, which was left by the fishermen who went to the village. It was already afternoon. These fishermen had already returned from work, so the beach seemed quiet. Ivankov and his group came here, they weren't afraid of being seen.
According to the timeline, the revolutionary army at this time were still in the stage of accumulating strength, so it was best for them to act in a low-key way and not be seen as much as possible.
Until it was dark, no ship had come, but fortunately, Kuma took some revolutionary soldiers and found the food that has been flown by his technique. A group of people cooked a pot of rice on the beach, then caught some fish on the shore, and cooked them. So they ate, and Ian wasn't nervous following them.
The moon had risen in the sky, and Ian began to yawn. Suddenly, he heard a revolutionary soldier standing at a high place shouting, "Here they are!"
Ian quickly got up and looked in the distance. In the night, a dark shadow on the sea was coming in their direction.
As time went by, the shadow grew larger and larger, and it was not until it came nearer that Ian could see the outline of the ship in the moonlight.
It was a huge three-mast sailing boat, but the bow of the ship was a dragon head. The dragon body just supported the whole boat as a keel, and then a dragon tail appeared at the stern, making the ship look as if it was supported by a dragon.
This was undoubtedly Dragon's ship.
A revolutionary army soldier, who had already signaled to the ship with a light, Dragon's ship slowed down and approached the shore.
"Eva-Kun, can I go up and have a look?" Ian pulled Ivankov's cloak and pretended to be naive: "I haven't seen such a big ship yet!"
Ivankov did expect such a request from Ian. In fact, when Ian was waiting with them, Ivankov guessed that Ian wanted to see their ship and said, "Hiiihaaa! Ian Little Candy! It's okay to go up and take a look, but let me say it first, I can't take you with me. So after that, you have to get off the boat and go back, okay?"
"No problem!" Ian nodded.
When the Dragon Boat stopped, a pulling-boat was laid down from the left side of the hull. Ivankov and Kuma started to board along the pulling-boat, and Ian followed closely. The remaining Revolutionary Army soldier began to call on the boat for some hands to carry the food.
Upon boarding the ship, Ivankov yelled: "The action is too slow. Dragon! How much are we going to wait!"
Ian followed Ivankov with his tall body, he poked his head out, looking forward, only to see a figure in the same green cloak slowly turning around on the deck.
Under the moonlight, Dragon was still wearing his hood, which prevented Ian from seeing his face clearly.
"Sorry!" Dragon spoke, his voice sounding low: "Something has delayed it us, we had to save a child..."
As he turned around, he revealed a child lying on the deck behind him, and Ian saw at first glance the thick bandages wrapped around him.
The bandage not only wrapped around the child's whole body but also around his head and face. He was in a fainting state with his mouth wide open. The black burn marks could be seen in the bandage gap. Under the bleak moonlight, the blood beneath the bandage was so dazzling.
Even Ian shivered when he saw the child. He was frightened by the child's injuries.
Needless to say, this kid must be Sabo who was rescued from the sea by Dragon!
When they really saw Sabo's tragedy at the moment, even Ian couldn't help but feel angry. What a cruel heart would lay such a heavy hand on a little child!
If it wasn't for Dragon to happen to save Sabo, it might be the end for Sabo!
At this moment, Ian really realized for the first time how cruel the Celestial Dragons were...
Ivankov naturally saw Sabo lying on the deck, and jumped over in surprise and squatted down to look at him.
"This is too serious!! Hey, come and help me deal with his wounds!" Ivankov shouted.
"Ivan, can you heal him?" Asked Dragon.
"No, the child is too young. He needs special treatment!" Ivankov said: "I can only hold him alive! Let's rush him to treatment!"
After that, Ivankov took off his gloves and thrust his fingers into Sabo's body.
"Healing hormone, adrenaline!"
Sabo on the ground suddenly coughed and coughed. Ivankov saw it and said happily, "Very good, his heart is beating again!"
Several Revolutionary Army soldiers took the opportunity to lift Sabo on a stretcher and deliver him to the cabin.
Ivankov raised his head and asked Dragon, "Who is this kid? Why did he suffer such a serious injury?"
Dragon shook his head and said: "I don't know his name. He was attacked by the Celestial Dragons… In that sad country..."
"Really..." Ivankov remained silent for a while.
Just then, a voice suddenly came and said: "His name is Sabo!"
"Huh?" Dragon looked in the direction of the voice in a daze and saw another child standing on the deck. The person who made this noise was naturally Ian.
"Who are you?" Dragon was curious: "Do you know this injured child?"
At the same time, Dragon naturally saw Kuma's cap on Ian's head, and could not help looking in the direction of Kuma.
Ian shook his head and said, "Just know his name."
He knows very well that Sabo suffered such a serious injury this time. When he was injured, he would lose his memory and his own name. Ian mentioned his name just for the sake of being nicknamed by the people of the Revolutionary Army in the future.
In fact, even if Ian does not mention it, the revolutionary army people will know his name from the things that Sabo carries. The reason why Ian speaks out was actually subconscious...
Dragon looked at Eva. Eva rose his hands and said, "This is a child in the village's dojo, a boy with a great character. I took him on board to have a look of our ship."
"Is that right?" Dragon looked at Ian and said nothing, but turned to him and asked, "Where's the food?"
A revolutionary army soldier replied: "The dojo in the village sent us some."
"Well, get ready to sail!" Dragon said: "Return to Baltigo!"
Ian saw him now and had no regrets in his heart. At this moment, hearing Dragon's words, he knew that he was ordering his deportation, and said, "I have to go back to the dojo!"
After that, he walked toward the side of the boat and did not take two steps. Suddenly he heard Dragon saying, "Eva, you send him off!"
Ivankov followed Ian and sent him off the boat. When they came to the shore, Ivankov said to Ian, "Ian, little candy, you have seen us now, but you need to promise me to not tell anyone about us?"
"I understand, you are not ordinary people!" Ian shrugged and said, "By the way, Uncle Kuma gave me a little Den Den Mushi. Can I have your number?"
Ivankov was stunned and immediately responded, "Uncle Kuma? You call him that? What do you want my number for?"
Ian nodded: "Because I might want something from you in the future..."
