Chapter 239

After saying that he wanted to take Ian as his adopted son, Edward Newgate, with white beard, kept staring at Ian closely to see his reaction.

At present, the reward of the captain and vice captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirate Group is as high as 1.15 billion Bailey. Moreover, white beard knows that the Dragon Hunter Pirate Group has absorbed several demon fruit talents. Although these people are not very strong now, they will gradually grow up in time.

So for white beard, the Dragon Hunter Pirate Group is a huge potential stock.

Since Roger the pirate king was executed more than 20 years ago, only white beard was left at the same time as Roger. He knew very well that the Navy could not accommodate him, and sooner or later he would quit the stage.

Although he had this kind of psychological preparation, white beard was still a little unwilling. Now he is the fourth emperor, but he has no desire to fight for supremacy. Now his only wish is to be able to watch his sons and live in peace. Such a wish is beautiful, but it is also very difficult to realize. White beard knows that once he dies, The white bearded Pirate Group will be hit hard by the Navy.

Just like after Roger died, the navy has been pursuing the crew on Roger's original ship

White beard and Roger fought for so many years, even if the enemy is an old friend, after Roger died, he also lost a shield, the Navy's spearhead all pointed at him.

It is precisely because he knows the consequences after his death that white beard has been trying to expand the strength of his Pirate Group over the years. He wants to leave enough cards for white beard's Pirate Group to protect his sons.

It has to be said that white beard is indeed a good father. Even though his sons are only adopted sons and have no blood relationship with him, he treats them more like a father than a real father

White beard is very pleased to be able to win over ace and make him his own son. Through ace, he meets Ian again.

With the strength shown by Yi'an, no one will have a problem with sitting in the top position of captain in the white beard Pirate Group. Moreover, I'm afraid the top position is still very forward. White beard loves Yi'an, so he also wants to take him as his adopted son.

Not to mention, Ian himself leads a pirate group, and even his vice captain is also a person who can rival the Navy General.

As long as the Dragon Hunter pirate group joins baihuzi, the strength of baihuzi Pirate Group will expand immediately!

Therefore, he was very concerned about Ian's answer. When he sent out this invitation, he specially called all the other team leaders to be a witness.

However, Ian's answer disappointed him.

After hearing white beard's invitation, Ian shook his head with a smile and said, "Dad, thank you for your kindness, but I can't join your pirate group!"

It's just because he and ace are brothers, which is the name of the same generation. It's just like calling uncle when you see an old man, but it doesn't mean that the other person is really your uncle. Ian admires the man of white beard, so he still uses the honorific name.

However, from the beginning, Ian did not plan to join the white beard Pirate Group.

After hearing Ian's reply, Marco and his team leaders were surprised. During this period of time, Ian and their team leaders got along really well. They had already guessed the thought of white beard's father and thought that Ian would not refuse. So today, they were going to witness the birth of a new family, but Ian declined!?

This makes the captains suddenly a commotion, some surprised to communicate with each other.

Marco was surprised by them, but white beard was not. He just sighed and said, "sure enough..."

In fact, according to the white beard's temper, just like when he met with ACE, he could have proposed to take him as his son when he first met Ian.

But when he met Ian, white beard saw the difference between him and ace from Ian's eyes.

At the beginning, the loneliness and desire hidden in the bottom of his eyes could be seen at a glance by white beard, so he understood that ACE and his sons were the same kind of people, which was why he directly extended his big hand to ace when he saw him at the beginning.

But Ian's eyes are different. There is something in Ian's eyes that white beard can't say. His eyes are very gentle, but he has his own persistence. White beard can't see confusion in Ian's eyes.

So at that time, white beard hesitated. He didn't tell Ian about it immediately. Instead, he invited him several days later.

He originally wanted to get along with Ian for a period of time through his sons and gradually pull Ian into the gang, but unexpectedly, he was declined.

As a passer-by, although Ian doesn't say it, he still has his own pride in his heart. Although he can't estimate his future achievements in this world, how can he be a man who is subordinate to others? What's more, in the way of an adopted son?

On the contrary, ace was a little anxious. He was the one who wanted Ian to join the white beard pirate group most. Ace had few friends. Ian was the first friend he met after he went out to sea. At the beginning, he had always wanted Ian to join his spade Pirate Group. As a result, Ian didn't agree because he was a pirate hunter. It's hard to wait until now, Ian also became a pirate, but ace also joined the white beard Pirate Group, so naturally he wanted to join him. Ace's current psychology is actually very simple. He just wants to share his thoughts with friends and brothers when he has good things. White beard's mind has convinced him and made him completely approve of white beard. He thinks the white beard Pirate Group is very good, so he wants to share it with Ian. So he immediately asked, "why? Ian, isn't it good that we are in the same Pirate Group together? " However, before Ian could answer him, white beard began to laugh and said, "ace, don't talk about it. You brother, you have a big heart! In fact, he wants to cooperate with the white beard Pirate Group as an ally, right? "“ I don't think it's cooperation. " Ian laughed and said: "Dad, thank you for helping the Dragon Hunter Pirate Group out this time. I've written down this feeling. If you can use our Pirate Group in the future, please speak directly!"“ Hum, I mistook you at that time. I didn't expect that you were still an arrogant kid! " White beard snorted. He grabbed a wine bucket in his big hand and twisted it gently. As a wine cup, he poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth. Then he wiped away the wine from his mouth and said, "I'm white beard. You're a group of dozens of pirates. When will you be able to use you?"“ Not necessarily Ian said with a smile: "it's always good to be prepared for no trouble!" White beard is not entangled in this issue. In fact, he has a lot of independent pirates under his hand. In white beard's opinion, Ian may be reluctant to part with him, so he wants to be the same as independent pirates. Although he didn't pull Ian into the gang, white beard didn't care much. The relationship between Ian and ace can't be erased. There is such a relationship between the Dragon hunter and the white beard. It's really no different from allies. After pouring the wine, he threw the bucket into the sea and said with a laugh, "anyway, when everyone is here, let's have a party." After hearing this, all the white bearded pirates on Moby Dick suddenly gave a shout and cheered. For Marco, although Ian did not become a family member, he was still a friend. He immediately gathered around and pulled Ian and Tenghu away. More than that, the other members of the Dragon Hunter pirate group were also informed to come, which made the banquet look like a friendship between two pirate groups... Ian, ACE and Marco, a group of young people drinking and playing together, while Tenghu, a group of older people with white beard, got together. The atmosphere was very cheerful, and everyone kept laughing for a long time. Later, I didn't know if I had drunk too much. Fossa, the leader of the 15th team of the white bearded Pirate Group, staggered to his feet and called the roll to compete with Ian
