Super Card System-Chapter 710: Staying or Leaving
After hearing Hawkins explain the whole story, Ian immediately became attentive. Drake actually asked Hawkins to pass on some intelligence?
Drake was now among the Beasts Pirates, so the information he was passing should be related to them. And what recent intelligence could the Beasts Pirates have? It had to be about Wano Country!
So Ian quickly said, “Where’s the information? Let me see!”
“Here it is!” Hawkins took out his divination cards from his pocket and carefully separated two cards that were stuck together, revealing a piece of paper hidden inside.
He handed it to Ian and said, “I was worried we’d be pursued by the Beasts Pirates, so I hid the information. Rest assured, I absolutely haven’t read it!”
Ian nodded, “Thoughtful of you!”
After speaking, Ian unfolded the paper, reading the words written by Drake.

However, as soon as he looked, Ian’s pupils suddenly contracted, because he saw that the paper said: “Fujitora and Ace have been captured by the Daimyo of Wano Country! They are currently imprisoned!”
Upon seeing this news, Ian was completely unsettled!
No wonder Uncle Fujitora had been gone for so long without sending any message back. Even if he didn’t bring a Den Den Mushi, he should have been able to find one, right? Even if Wano Country is isolated, could he not find a single Den Den Mushi?
Only now did Ian realize that Uncle Fujitora was actually imprisoned! And together with him was Ace.
“What on earth is going on?” Ian frowned and asked Hawkins, “Do you know anything about Wano Country?”
Hawkins was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, Ian-sama. We were imprisoned in Kaido’s base camp at that time, not in Wano Country, so I don’t know about what you’re talking about…”
At this point, Ian realized he had asked the wrong person.
Although seeing this intelligence made Ian want to fly to Wano Country immediately, after thinking about it, he realized he couldn’t be hasty!
First of all, he couldn’t be sure whether Drake’s information was true or not.
Although Ian had saved Drake once, Drake had now joined the Beasts Pirates. Ian trusted Drake but couldn’t rule out that this might be information deliberately released by the Beasts Pirates.
Because everyone knows that Uncle Fujitora is the vice-captain of Ian’s Dragon Hunter Pirates! This intelligence said that he was captured by the Daimyo of Wano Country, but behind the Daimyo might be Kaido supporting him, so it’s hard to say whether this is a trap set by the Beasts Pirates.
With someone as crazy as Kaido, he probably wouldn’t come up with such a plan, but which of the Yonko doesn’t have strategists around them?
Moreover, most importantly, Uncle Fujitora is his own vice-captain, and Ace is the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Capturing both of them at the same time—wouldn’t Wano Country or Kaido fear being confronted by two Yonko pirate crews at once!?
There must be something fishy about this, so Ian really couldn’t rush. Even if he wanted to rescue them, at least he had to investigate first to find out where Fujitora and Ace were being held.
“How are you feeling now?” Ian asked Hawkins.
“Much better!” Hawkins nodded and pleaded, “Ian-sama, please also treat my subordinates…”
“Mm, I will,” Ian said. “But what’s with that Kid? I have no relationship with him!”
Among the Supernovas, they are all people with distinct personalities, and Kid is clearly a typical pirate—cruel, rude, arrogant. In short, Ian didn’t have a good impression of him. Moreover, Ian knew that Kid was not someone who would submit to others. Hawkins seemed to have intentions of joining Ian, but Kid might not.
Ian wasn’t a saint; he couldn’t possibly save everyone he met.
“I understand…” Hawkins struggled to stand up, then half-knelt on the ground and said to Ian, “But please, for my sake, save him this once. Whether he leaves afterward is none of my business. I just owe him one during our escape; the wound on his face was taken for me…”
Well, since Hawkins put it that way, Ian naturally wouldn’t refuse anymore. So next, he used Sōten Kisshun to heal the members of the Hawkins Pirates one by one, and then went to the ship of the Kid Pirates.
Kid looked at Ian weakly and said, “You are the new Yonko, ‘Black Dragon’ Ian?”
Ian didn’t speak, just looked at him coldly and nodded.
“You seem to have an issue with me?” Kid gave a bitter smile and said, “Well then, if you don’t want to save us, please let us leave! I’m begging you…”
Kid really couldn’t endure being crushed by a third Yonko…
Ian didn’t say anything more. He bent down and let the light of Sōten Kisshun envelop Kid’s entire body.
In an instant, Kid felt much more comfortable, and what amazed him the most was that his previously severed left arm, which had been cut off by Snack, was actually “growing” back bit by bit!
Kid could swear to the heavens that this light was definitely not some ordinary healing effect, but an even more miraculous power! Unfortunately, he didn’t know exactly what this power was…
“Thank me!” Ian said expressionlessly. “If you hadn’t met me, your future ‘Left Arm’ would be gone forever!”
“Left Arm”? What does that mean? Kid didn’t understand, but he knew that what Ian said was true. Since losing his arm, he had never thought that one day his left arm could be restored.
Ian ignored him and went to heal the other members of the Kid Pirates.
Yonji, who was behind Ian, witnessed the entire process of him healing people and felt a toothache. He hadn’t seen Ian have such amazing healing abilities before, and now seeing it, he realized just how terrifying Ian was. With such healing abilities, if the enemy couldn’t kill him instantly, he could always recover!
Damn, fortunately, Father became his ally… Being enemies with someone like this is really unwise.
Before long, the members of the Hawkins Pirates and Kid Pirates had all recovered. Those pirates who had lost limbs held their newly regrown arms and legs, crying tears of joy. They looked at Ian as if looking at a deity.
After Ian finished his work, Hawkins brought his crew, and they all half-knelt on the deck.
Each of them held a wine cup they had just obtained from the island. Hawkins held his cup with both hands and said to Ian, who stood before him, “Ian-sama, thanks to your grace, the Hawkins Pirates have been reborn today. Now, our entire pirate crew offers this cup of brotherhood wine. From today onwards, the Hawkins Pirates will become a part of the Dragon Hunter Pirates! Please drink this cup!”
“Please drink this cup!” The pirates of the Hawkins Pirates said in unison.
Ian was not unfamiliar with this ceremony of brotherhood wine. Urouge’s Mad Monk Pirates and Law’s Heart Pirates had done this once before. So Ian also took a cup of wine from a Germa clone soldier, clinked cups with Hawkins, and said, “I accept this cup! From today onwards, you will become companions of the Dragon Hunter Pirates. We will be like brothers, advancing and retreating together!”
“Like brothers, advancing and retreating together!”
Hawkins and his subordinates shouted in unison. Seeing Ian tilt his head back to drink the wine, they also drank together.
With the completion of the ceremony, it meant that the Hawkins Pirates had become a part of the Dragon Hunter Pirates. Like the Heart Pirates and the Mad Monk Pirates, from now on, they would have only one name—the Dragon Hunter Pirates.
At this time, Ian was short of manpower. Hawkins and his crew joined just in time, instantly increasing the size of the Dragon Hunter Pirates by more than a hundred people.
The Kid Pirates were on the side, witnessing all of this in silence.
At this time, Ian also turned to Kid and said, “Kid, what about you? If you want to leave, I can give you some food and water.”
Ian wouldn’t force them to join. Just like Capone Bege, who had left Whole Cake Island with his wife Chiffon and Pudding a couple of days ago. The entire Fire Tank Pirates did not join Ian’s Dragon Hunter Pirates. Everyone has their own aspirations. Capone Bege was not someone who liked to be constrained; otherwise, how could he have teamed up with Ian to rebel against Big Mom?
Kid didn’t speak. He looked at Ian’s expression, then sighed and left with his crew.
To be honest, Kid had been confronted by two Yonko in succession this time. To say he wasn’t afraid of the Yonko’s power was impossible. He actually wanted to find a strong ally to rely on, but seeing Ian’s expression, he realized that Ian really didn’t like him, so he had to give up.
And Ian had no intention of keeping him. With Kid’s temperament, if he stayed, he would only cause trouble for the Dragon Hunter Pirates…
