S.C.S Chapter 100 Part 2: Don’t Worry

Hina sat on the deck, and soon a soldier brought her a dry cloak and a glass of hot tea, while Ian was ignored.

Hina looked at the Kairoseki (Seastone) shackles on her ankle and her wet clothes, then she stood up and said, “I’m going to change my clothes!”

Then she glanced at Ian and said to a marine soldier, “Give him a glass of hot tea!”

“That’s alright!” Ian smiled at her.

Hina snorted coldly and went into the cabin without looking back. Only the Marines on the warship kept staring at Ian alertly.

Although they knew that Captain Hina was saved by this man, since Ian was on the Pirate Ship before, the soldiers could not figure out who was he, so they could only treat him with such a cold attitude.

Ian didn’t mind them at all, he just took off his hat to see if the Den Den Mushi was OK.

When he took it down, Ian was a little flustered because his Den Den Mushi had come out of its shell, and it looked sick.

“Ah… What’s going on?”

Ian hurriedly grabbed a marine and asked him.

“It should be the salt of the seawater that harmed it!” Marine soldiers had more opportunities to use a Den Den Mushi, they clearly understand a lot about them, so he explained to Ian: “Den Den Mushi is also a creature of water, but they love freshwater. The salt of the seawater will cause them to dehydrate. It doesn’t take long for it to soak in the sea. You just need to leave it in freshwater as soon as possible.”

So Ian quickly asked the soldier for some freshwater in a basin, and then he put Den Den Mushi in it.

The effect was quite good, after a while, the Den Den Mushi gradually regained some consciousness.

Just as Ian was relieved, Hina changed her clothes and came out of the cabin. The first thing she did was to ask about the casualties.

The marine soldiers who were fainted by Ace’s Haki were all basically saved. Now the only trouble was the soldiers on the warship who are kidnapped by Ace.

Hina thought about it and asked Ian to follow her into the cabin.

When they arrived at the room, she asked him coldly, “Your pirate friend, drove away with my Battleship, and my soldiers on board. How would you explain this?”

“Relax!” Ian nodded at her. “You just have to follow the route of that warship, and you will definitely find your soldiers!”

“Good enough!” Hina said, “I’ll believe your words. But from now on, you’re going to be my prisoner. If I don’t find my soldiers, then you will bear the responsibility.”

Although Hina was very grateful that Ian had saved her life, she went back to her normal state.

Ian shrugged. He didn’t care, because he knew that with Ace’s personality, those marine soldiers would not be harmed or in danger.

“So by that, are you going to make me wanted by the marines!?” Ian asked her.

“I checked your identity! You are indeed a Pirate hunter, and you’re also the famous Pirate hunter of East Blue!” Hina flicked her long wet pink hair, lit a cigarette, and held it in her mouth. Then, she asked Ian: “How is Smoker nowadays?”

Ian was not surprised that she would ask about Smoker. In Ian’s memory, Hina and Smoker were marine trainees of the same period, so he nodded and said: “Fortunately, I just had a spar with him before I went out to the sea, he looked very energetic.”

Hina laughed, and then asked curiously, “You are obviously a Pirate hunter, why becoming friends with pirates? Hina is very confused!”

“It is a long story!” Ian sighed and said, “You haven’t answered my question yet.”

“Don’t worry!” Hina said, “I won’t place a bounty on you, but your friend is hard to tell!”

Ian nodded, which was what he expected. In fact, from the beginning, when he saw that the commander of the upcoming marines was Hina, Ian knew that there was room for maneuver!

Among the marines, there are different thoughts and judgments, such as the Admiral Akainu, the red dog, or Vice Admiral Doberman, known as the hawk. They have a completely tough judgment towards the pirates. If they encounter such a person, there would be no acceptable reason for Ian’s affairs on a pirate ship.

However, Hina was different. Although she is one of the Marine Headquarters, she belongs to the gentler category. She will fight against all pirates, but in this special case of Ian, she will also have other considerations.

That’s why Ian chose not to stay on Ace’s ship and rescue Hina. With this sentiment, she might not ask in her report for an arrest warrant for Ian.

In fact, Ian also knows that it’s awkward for him to keep his identity as a pirate hunter. If he wants to stay pure, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to catch any pirate within his power. But it’s a bias that he has contact with some pirates. Ace is one, and in the future, Zoro will be the next. As a matter of fact, Zoro is his own younger brother, and this identity can’t be released. Once he and Luffy start their journey and go out to the sea as pirates, Ian won’t be able to catch them either.

At this point, Ian and Garp are in a similar situation. Garp is a Marine Vice Admiral, but his son is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and his grandson will be Pirate later, which is very embarrassing…

Everyone has his own ideas and dreams, even if they are families, they can not interfere with the choices of others…

After thinking about it, Ian asked Hina, “Where are you going now? Back to the Marine Headquarters?”

Hina nodded her head and said, “This time, we had this accident in the encirclement of the Iron Bone Pirates. The operation can only come to an end. Your friend Ace caused some losses to my troops. And my ships must be repaired after the damage he made, so I had to go back to the Marine Headquarters first.”

“Then let me tag along!” Ian said with a smile, “I’ll stay in one of your ships until we get to the Sabaody Archipelago!”
