Looking at Makino, who had also knelt before him, Ian gently swirled the wine in his cup and said with interest, "Are Celestial Dragons really that terrifying in your eyes? This Young Master merely revealed his identity, and it has made you fear him so much!"
"Since that's the case, let me tell you something else that will terrify you!"
Pausing slightly, Ian slowly walked to the bar and sat down, his gaze fixed on Makino, who was still kneeling with her head bowed. "This Young Master came to Foosha Village for only one thing, and that is to capture the son of the revolutionary army leader, Dragon. His name is Monkey D. Luffy! Makino, are you familiar with that name?"
"!!!!"
Makino's delicate body trembled. She had knelt earlier because when a Celestial Dragon was out, everyone had to kneel and bow their heads, not daring to look directly at the noble Celestial Dragon. She hadn't simply been afraid of Ian's Celestial Dragon identity like the other guests in the bar.
However, the moment she heard that Ian had come to capture Luffy, a wave of fear rose in her heart, and her delicate body couldn't stop trembling slightly.
Most importantly, Ian, as a noble Celestial Dragon, actually knew her name!
This meant that Ian had thoroughly investigated Foosha Village before arriving, and even knew that she had been caring for Luffy all these years!
"Fa... familiar."
In her fear, Makino's voice trembled as she spoke. "Luffy is a Foosha Village villager, but I didn't know his father was some revolutionary army leader."
Unexpectedly, Makino was so honest. Ian nodded in satisfaction. "Before This Young Master arrived in Foosha Village, Dragon had already moved Luffy out of Mt. Colubo, and the Dadan Family living in the mountains had also disappeared. Out of necessity, This Young Master could only come to Foosha Village. Next, what you need to do is find a way to contact Dragon and have him bring Luffy back to Foosha Village. This Young Master will give him one night. If Luffy is not here before This Young Master wakes up tomorrow morning, I will kill one person every ten minutes until Dragon appears before This Young Master with Luffy!"
"Of course, he can also sacrifice the entire Foosha Village to protect Luffy."
As soon as he said this, several Foosha Village villagers who had knelt before Makino immediately fainted from fright. Makino's beautiful eyes also widened, and for a moment she forgot Ian's identity, instinctively looking up at him.
In that instant, she felt that everything happening was unreal.
It was only a dozen minutes ago that Ian was so down and out that he needed her to give him food, and Gunko didn't even have a pair of pants.
But in just this short time, this down-and-out master and servant had transformed into high and mighty Celestial Dragons, and now, to capture Luffy, they were threatening to kill one person every ten minutes.
Although she had heard many rumors about Celestial Dragons before, she never expected them to be as evil as the rumors claimed. Just because they couldn't catch Luffy, they shifted their target to the Foosha Village villagers, and were ready to go on a killing spree at the slightest disagreement.
What she couldn't understand most was that she had clearly shown kindness to Ian and Gunko, giving them food and giving Gunko pants. Did Celestial Dragons not even know basic gratitude?
After a brief moment of daze, Makino secretly took a deep breath, suppressing a belly full of grievances, and said with tears in her eyes, "Saint Ian, I... I don't know how to contact Dragon. Before you appeared, I didn't even know Luffy was Dragon's son!"
Ian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said indifferently, "Then contact Luffy's grandfather and have him deliver this message to Dragon. This Young Master is very curious to know what choice he, as a righteous Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, will make between the Foosha Village villagers and his grandson!"
Pausing slightly, Ian suddenly changed the subject. "Stand up and speak. Since you finally got Gunko to wear pants, This Young Master grants you permission to see a Celestial Dragon without kneeling or bowing your head!"
"Rip..."
As soon as Ian finished speaking, Gunko, who had long been uncomfortable wearing someone else's pants, suddenly ripped the jeans off and threw them aside, her eyes filled with disdain and disgust, as if she had a severe case of mysophobia.
"???"
Ian was somewhat taken aback that Gunko had actually torn her pants, and a string of question marks appeared above his head.
After a full two seconds of stunned, Ian came back to his senses and then couldn't help but curse, "Gunko, are you an exhibitionist? This Young Master finally got you to wear pants, and you actually..."
"Young Master, calm your anger," Gunko bowed and said with a serious expression, "These jeans were too tight and uncomfortable to wear."
Hearing this, Ian's mouth twitched slightly. Looking at the long legs that once again swayed before him, he said helplessly, "Alright, whatever you like."
Pausing slightly, Ian changed the subject and asked, "Did you bring a den den mushi?"
Gunko seemed to know what Ian wanted to do, and immediately pulled out a den den mushi from his Huai and dialed directly.
Soon, the den den mushi connected, and a loud voice mixed with confusion came through. "Moshi moshi, this is Garp. Who are you?"
Gunko didn't speak, silently placing the den den mushi into Makino's hand, who had just stood up.
Seeing this, Makino bit her lip, then spoke with a trembling voice, "Mr. Garp, I'm Makino!"
"Makino? Ah ha ha ha, why is it you? How did you contact this old man? Was it Woop? I knew it, the only one in Foosha Village who could contact this old man is that old immortal village chief, Woop, ah ha ha ha~"
Garp on the other end of the den den mushi clearly didn't know the seriousness of the situation. His hearty laughter made Makino hesitant to speak.
Finally, after a moment of hesitation, Makino spoke with difficulty, "Mr. Garp, it wasn't Village Chief Woop who gave me your contact information, but... but a Celestial Dragon named Nelona Ian has arrived at the Party's Bar, and they..."
"What!"
"Nelona Ian!"
As soon as Makino said Ian's name, Garp on the other end of the den den mushi immediately jumped up. "Damn it, how could he appear in Foosha Village! Makino, you can't afford to provoke this person. Quickly find a way to avoid him and hide. This old man will be there within two hours!"
"Also, inform the Foosha Village villagers, tell them to absolutely, absolutely not offend Ian. That kid kills without batting an eye. If they offend him, Foosha Village will definitely disappear from the map!"
After speaking, Garp, who was on Tina's warship, ended the call. Then he stared wide-eyed at Tina opposite him and said urgently, "Something big has happened, something big has happened, Tina! Ian has appeared in Foosha Village, and now he's even gone to Makino's bar. We must rush there immediately!"
