Chapter 162 - The plan!

Ian had gone to bring Sanji to leave with them leaving his crew to pack up everything they needed. And he did bring him back shortly after.

By the time he came back along with Sanji and the rest of the straw-hats, Elene and co were already done with their part. Although by appearances only, one would not think so at all.

As it appeared that they stayed the same as before. While they had in fact stored all their belongings in the ring.

When Ian and Sanji reached the rest they greeted each other. Before the straw-hats proceeded to say their goodbyes…

Ian gave them their space as he moved to the side with his crewmates.

"Alright guys, let's first discuss what we are going to do!" Ian told them as they listened.

"First, we will go get our newest member! His location is in the new world, Galmar Island. That would be our destination for now. I can't travel to a place I have never been to before if the distance is too much as you already know, so we are going by ship! I'm sure Libell would be happy about that!" Ian told them in explanation.

It was true that he can't teleport to an island he had never been to. the ability worked by picturing the place you want to go to vividly. Though he could teleport to places within his eyesight.

Libell who had been sitting on his shoulders happily replied in the affirmative.

"Yes! Yes! I would like that big brother Ian!" She said with great enthusiasm.

"Alright, then that's what we're are going to do!" Ian told her with a smile.

The rest didn't disagree with him either.

"Would we be heading towards big mom after then?" Stella asked him next.

And Ian gave her a nod.

"Yes! We would immediately head out there!" Ian replied to her.

"So what's our strategy?" Robin asked him.

Ian thought for a bit about that.

There were many options to go with.

He could devise his own strategy. Or he could join that Bege guy 'if' he was still alive.

But ultimately Ian thought that being straightforward is the best option.

"Had it been an enemy out of our own powers I would agree to a strategy well thought off! As it stands now though? I refuse. This is how it will go down! Elene would challenge big mom. While we will prevent anyone of her sons from interfering. We would not wait for her stupid tea party or the like. The moment we reach Toto land the moment we attack!" Ian told them all.

And they sighed at this. Not that they minded at all. It was just that this was something Ian would do.

"What about Sanji? And the Poneglyphs?" Robin further asked.

The Poneglyph was most important to her. Though Sanji was her friend too.

Ian thought about that for a bit.

"Well not all of us need to guard Elene. And during the commotion, and especially when big mom starts losing and her sons see that, no one would care to guard their treasury! Which the place I'm guessing would contain the Poneglyph. At that time one of you could go and retrieve the Poneglyphs." Ian told them what he thought.

And Elene couldn't help but be happy about this.

Ian had stated that when big mom would start losing… this meant that he trusted Elene so much that he knew big mom was going to lose 100%!!

Of course, that would make her happy. Well, that and the fact that her dream was close to being fulfilled.

"As for Sanji… most likely Germa 66 would be there at that time, and again since not all of us would be occupied, we could help him! After that, we would join the rest in Wano!" Ian nodded to himself as he felt this was possible.

They all nodded at that. Nothing too serious was needed. Their strength was enough for them to do things simply like that.

"Oh, also if you come against Katakuri in big mom's territory, don't underestimate him and if you win don't kill him!" Ian told them as an afterthought.

They nodded at that.

Katakuri was well known after all in the world.

But Akemi didn't know him so she asked.

"Is he someone strong?" She asked Ian.

Ian gave her a nod and a smile as he explained.

"That guy is quite strong, he is next in line to lead after the emperor he is serving under! It is said that he never lost a battle! But I know a few more things about him!" Ian told them.

At this time even Luffy and co had finished and came to join Ian.

Ian didn't mind. They were already done discussing their plans.

They had heard about this Katakuri and were intrigued by him. Especially Luffy. But they all listened silently.

"That guy had honed his observation Haki close to the limits. When one reaches that state, they would be able to see into the future for a few seconds. The only people I know for a fact that had reached that level are him and me! However, I would venture to say that any other emperor and the admirals and above all can do the same!" Ian told them.

He explained what observation Haki was capable of at that state and told them who can use it.

"My point is, only people at a certain level are capable of using this! And he can so anyone of you who goes against him is best to be cautious!" Ian cautioned them about it once again.

And they all understood that and nodded their heads.

In fact Ian had wanted to say this specifically for Elene, since Katakuri can see the future, big mom might as well be even more adept at it.

The straw-hats, however, were shocked after hearing that someone can in fact see a bit into the future. This brought the revelation that their opponents were getting stronger and stronger. Still, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were excited about that and not scared.

After that Nekomamushi and Inuarashi along with the samurais were seen heading their way.

After sharing a greeting between them Ian proceeded to talk.

"It's good that you came now. We are already ready to leave so it's time to say our goodbyes!" Ian told them. Then he started to walk towards the gate of Zou.

And the rest flowed after him.

Kin'emon stepped up closer to him.

"Understood! And thank you once again!" Kin'emon said but didn't bow this time.

Which had Ian smiling at him.

"Nekomamushi made my vivre card earlier! Since we are going to split up, make sure to take one Ian!" Kin'emon said as he cut the vivre card into two and passed Ian a piece from it.

Ian took it, as he did in fact need it to be able to search for them later.

"We are splitting up into two groups! First, your group who would head to whole cake island! And our group that would head to the land of Wano! Let us reunite at Wano!" Kin'emon spoke up.

"That's the plan!" Ian grinned as he replied.

Turning to look at the rest Ian nodded at each one, silently saying his goodbyes.

He did notice however that Nami had a new clima tact or whatever its name was. He didn't remember that from the original anime. But he didn't care about it much, perhaps it had happened and he just didn't remember.

Then they continued walking while sharing small talk until they had reached the edge of Zunesha's back. Just past the gate.

Then Ian, Elene, robin, Stella, Bert, Akemi, and Sanji, stood there opposite Kin'emon's group.

"Well, then Ian! We will be waiting for you at the Land of Wano! Good luck with your endeavor!" Kin'emon told him.

And the rest similarly said their thanks, goodbyes, and good luck.

Ian and co similarly replied with their goodbyes.

And just when Inuarashi was about to suggest that they help them get down from Zunesha, Ian and co had already jumped off Zunesha's back all of them grinning with their backs to the ground.

Well apart from Sanji who had a look of horror on his face and who was being held by some unknown energy.

"See you later!" Ian yelled out loud while he laughed as he enjoyed the shocked looks on the people opposite them!
