Chapter 486 (1/2)

Ian didn't guess wrong. Shanks came out this time because Hawkeye went to see shanks after meeting him, which made shanks come to find Ian.

However, in fact, it is a coincidence to meet Ian here in St. Baiyang, not shanks.

In fact, when Ian and ACE decided to hunt for Blackbeard, there was a deviation again. Originally, if ace was hunting for Blackbeard alone, shanks would finally choose to meet Edward Newgate, white beard, and tell his father the danger of black beard. At the same time, he hoped that white beard would recall ace, Tell him to stop chasing Blackbeard.

Last time, ACE found shanks and expressed his gratitude to him for saving Luffy. He and shanks knew each other, but even with such a relationship, shanks didn't want to go to him directly and ask him to give up the pursuit. This is because shanks knew that ace was a member of the white beard Pirate Group. The only person who could make him give up the pursuit was white beard, Even if they directly come forward to find ace, there is no way to let him stop.

So originally, shanks planned to set out to go to the new world to find white beard's father. Even at that time, shanks knew that ACE and Ian were chasing black beard together, and he didn't change his mind.

The reason is very simple. At that time, shanks and Ian didn't know each other at all. In addition to the identity of Ian qiwuhai, he was afraid that it would backfire.

However, when Hawkeye's good friend came and told shanks about his relationship with Ian, shanks changed his plan.

People who can become the four emperors all have their own pride. Shanks knows the character of white beard very well. He knows that if his younger generation goes to find white beard, white beard will not listen to him. When he really has no way, shanks will choose to see white beard. But now he has a better choice, That is to see Ian and ACE through the relationship between eagle eye and Ian.

Shanks knew that Ian had almost joined the white beard Pirate Group, and that ace was a close friend and brother. If he could persuade Ian, he might be able to make ace give up his plan to hunt Blackbeard.

This is the reason why he suddenly went out to sea. At that time, the navy ships who were watching them were startled by his change and reported the red hair Pirate Group's movement to the Navy headquarters in a hurry.

However, shanks had a limited understanding of Ian at that time. His stories about Ian, the qiwuhai, all came from hearsay. Although he knew that Ian had once fought with a navy general, and he didn't know why he became qiwuhai, he didn't really meet Ian after all, and he didn't know the strength of Ian at all.
