Chapter 509: Special Delivery

As Ian laid eyes on Luffy and his crew, they, too, spotted him. After all, Ian’s striking and flamboyant pair of black flame wings made him stand out.

“Oh, look ahead!” Usopp, with the keenest eyes, was the first to see Ian and immediately shouted, “It’s Big Brother Ian! It’s Ian, guys!”

With this revelation, Nami, Chopper, and the others became ecstatic, waving eagerly in Ian’s direction.

Originally, if Ian hadn’t appeared, the Straw Hat Pirates would have been Kizaru’s primary target since they were the culprits who had assaulted the Celestial Dragons. However, Ian’s fortuitous escape from Marineford to Sabaody Archipelago led to Kizaru’s interception.

Kizaru’s inability to target the Straw Hat Pirates had spared them from dire consequences, and with Trafalgar D. Water Law’s Heart Pirates accompanying them, they had managed to make a relatively smooth escape when Sentomaru and two Pacifistas cornered them.

But… what are you all doing here!?

Ian’s face was full of vexation. Did they think the situation here wasn’t complicated enough?

Seeing Nami and the others excitedly calling out Ian’s name, Trafalgar D. Water Law, running ahead with a quizzical expression, turned his gaze forward as well. Once he spotted Ian, a faint smile crept across his face, and he said, “As promised, it’s really Ian!”

Law hadn’t guessed wrong. By following Luffy and his crew, he had successfully located Ian.

However, when Law took a closer look at the two figures facing Ian, he slammed on the brakes without warning.

“Stop! Hold on!” Law couldn’t help but shout.

“What’s wrong, Tra-guy?” Luffy inquired with a puzzled expression.

“Don’t go any further! There are Marine Admirals over there!” Law warned, “And there are two of them! Kizaru and Aokiji!”

Upon hearing this, Nami and the others were immediately filled with dread, freezing in their tracks. Zoro clenched his teeth and drew his sword from his waist, turning to face Sentomaru, who was trailing behind, as well as the two Pacifistas. He declared, “He’s right. We can’t lure these three guys over; otherwise, Ian might have an even bigger problem. We can’t add to the chaos; we’ll have to deal with these guys ourselves.”

Sanji also came to a halt, turned around, and lit a cigarette, taking a drag. He commented, “We can’t handle the Marine Admirals, so we’ll have to figure out a way to deal with the folks behind us.”

Bon Clay, the Okama, hopped on one foot, twirling in a pirouette and asked curiously, “By the way, who is this Big Brother Ian?”

Indeed, he hadn’t seen Ian before.
