Bab 12: *****

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..."

Bab 13: *****

The Revolutionary Army's ship was off shore and sailing on the vast sea.

Dragon stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the distance. At this moment, he had taken off his cloak, revealing his domineering long hair and a strange diamond pattern on his face.

Hearing footsteps coming from behind, Dragon did not turn around: "Kuma?..."

"..." Kuma stood behind him and did not speak.

Dragon turned around and saw Kuma put on a new bear ear cap. He grinned and said: "There are still spares... Rarely do you give your beloved hat to a teenager you don't know."

"... The revolutionary army needs more companions!" Kuma opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "That was a very promising teenager. Maybe there will be another day to meet..."

"You're right!" Dragon looked up at the night sky full of stars: "Keep accumulating strength, when the revolutionary army can be as many as the stars in the sky, we can set off a prairie fire! This process is very long. It will take more than ten years or even decades. By that time, maybe we would have died of old age, and the rest will be passed to the younger generation."

"Kuma! I'm going to let you do something!" When Dragon sighed, he suddenly said to Kuma, "This may be difficult, but someone has to do it."

"..." Kuma did not speak, he just kept looking at Dragon.

"Eleven years ago, Gol.D.Roger, the pirate king, was executed in Loguetown in the East Blue!" Dragon said: "The world government was meant to deter the increasingly rampant pirates, but what Roger left behind before he died turned them upside down. Over the years, more and more pirates have appeared on the Grand Line. With the strength of the Marines alone, they're losing their minds. I've got information said that they're now discussing the Seven Warlords of the Sea (Shichibukai) and intend to use some great pirates to balance the pirate's world, this is a good opportunity, I want you to become a member of the Shichibukai!"

"Is it intended to use Shichibukai's identity to seek information from the world government?" Asked Kuma.

"Yes, and if possible, you have to find a way to get in touch with someone!" Dragon said solemnly, "Dr.Vegapunk! The world government's genius scientist... I care about him!"

Having said that, Dragon turned around, looked at the sea, and said, "At that time, you and the Revolutionary Army should have as little contact as possible. You should decide everything by yourself!"

"... When will I leave?" Kuma asked after a moment of silence.

"Soon, you will disembark in the middle of the journey. The revolutionary army can't help you. You can only rely on your own strength to take the position of Shichibukai alone..." Dragon said, "Do you need to say goodbye to Eva?"

"No need..." Kuma finished, holding his book, turned back to the cabin, leaving Dragon alone, who continued to look at the sea in front of him...

......

After sending away Ivankov and Kuma, Ian returned to the dojo in the moonlight.

Zoro was also in the dojo at this time, He was holding a big stone while squatting and counting, "580, 581, 582..."

Not far from him was Kuina, who was holding a bamboo sword and constantly attacking the erected target. It was obvious that they had practiced for a long time and were covered in sweat.

When Ian came back, Kuina greeted him from a distance and said, "Brother Ian, where have you been today? Why haven't I seen you all the time?"

Zoro also put down the stone at this time, came over and stood with Kuina, saying: "Aniki, your dinner was eaten by me..."

Before the words were finished, Ian came to them, so both of them saw the bear's ear cap on Ian's head.

"Puff... Puff Puff!!!" Sauron couldn't help pointing to Ian's head and laughing loudly: "Haha Haha! What a funny hat!"

Not only him but even Kuina, with an odd expression, who was supposed to laugh but not out loud, so she was strangled!

Ian felt so embarrassed and hot, Kuina was forgiven, but that green algae stupid dared to laugh so loud.

"What the Hell are you laughing at?" Without thinking about it, Ian raised his hand and hammered his head.

"Ouch!" Zoro's laughter immediately turned into a scream, and his head was swollen.

"Why did you hit me!?" Zoro said fiercely to Ian. He pointed to Kuina and said to Ian, "Didn't she laugh too?"

Ian stared at him. "You were laughing aloud, so I hit you!"

Kuina couldn't help it anymore. She turned his face to cover her mouth and giggled.

"Damn!" Zoro knows that this fairness is beyond his grasp.

After laughing enough, Ian asked, "Where's our Sensei?"

Kuina wiped her tears and said, "I don't know. I haven't been in the dojo."

Ian entered the dojo and turned around looking for Koshiro. He sent off the revolutionary army and he had to tell him. He turned around all the dojo and didn't see him.

Ian didn't know where to find him, but he eventually turned to the woods behind the dojo. Only then did Ian finally find Koshiro.

However, at first sight of Master Koshiro, Ian knew that he shouldn't disturb him.

Because Koshiro was sitting on his knees in front of a tombstone, motionless.

Ian knows that this tombstone is the grave of Kuina's mother!

Kuina's mother died shortly after she gave birth to her daughter. She did not remember what she looked like, let alone Kuina, in her usual conversation, Master Koshiro rarely mentioned her mother, but occasionally lamented that Kuina looked like her...

Ian wondered why Master Koshiro would come to her grave at night to worship her. This was a very unusual act.

Just thinking about it, Ian suddenly thought of Ivankov who had just left the island today. His heart suddenly moved. Was the abnormal behavior of Master Koshiro related to Ivankov's appearance?

Why after did they show up, Master Koshiro come to her tomb in the middle of the night? Could it be said that Kuina's mother was actually related to the Revolutionary Army!?

Ian was shocked by the idea that came to his mind, but then when he contacted Master Koshiro's performance in the daytime today, he found that this conjecture was not impossible.

Master Koshiro is very mysterious. No one knows his origin or his strength, but Ian knows his character very well and feels that he does not have the rebellious spirit of the revolutionary army. His character is incompatible with the revolutionary army.

On the contrary, Ivankov knew Koshiro, and Koshiro greeted them with a smile, but they were so polite in their conversation.

So the only relation Ian could think of between them was Kuina's mother.

Perhaps Kuina's mother was a revolutionary soldier, or even a cadre, and should be the earliest members of the revolutionary army. Ivankov actually knew Kuina's mother, along with Master Koshiro.

This can explain the attitude between them.

Ian thought about it and felt it might be true, so he left quietly.

If Master Koshiro did not say anything, he would not ask. Maybe there was something hidden in this matter. Moreover, it was not a good past. Ian would not like to uncover Master Koshiro's scars, just like if he did not see them.

After returning to the dojo, Ian went to his room and looked at the little pink Den Den Mushi that Kuma gave him on the table. At this time, the little fellow had fallen asleep with his eyes closed. Ian wanted to tease him, but he couldn't do both, so he washed himself asleep. Ian tried to tease him, but he couldn't do it, So he washed himself and went to sleep.

Late at night, the tranquil Frost Moon Village looks peaceful under the moonlight. What happened in the daytime today is just a small interlude for this village. When the sun rises the next day and a new day comes, it will return to the track of the past.
