Go on your adventure and I will go on mine!

[A/N: I have a question for you guys? should Carrot join our mc or not? if she joins Ian on his quest towards Big mom she might as well join his crew. I would like to hear your opinion. As usual, I would leave comments and you can vote by liking them!]

"The reason I want to go towards big mom is so that I can get my hands on the information hidden on the Road Poneglyph she has!" Ian finally dropped the bomb.

Inuarashi and His fellow ruler had thought somewhat along those lines. They didn't know about Ian visiting Big Mom at all. Ian had kept this hidden from them.

In fact, apart from his crew, he didn't tell anyone else about this.

There was a spy among them, and so that said spy wouldn't be able to send information to his superiors, he avoided letting this information early.

But now, he would be able to expose this spy later…

"So it is as I guessed…" Inuarashi muttered at that. With the cat viper giving a nod.

They already knew about big mom having the road Poneglyph, and they were actually going to announce it. But they had given the honor to Ian.

The straw hats were somewhat surprised.

But then thinking of Ian's strength, they found it appropriate of him to challenge big mom for her Poneglyph.

Still, one person who heard that couldn't help but exclaim.

"I will be the one to become the pirate king!" Luffy yelled out.

A serious look on his face.

And Ian understood him.

Since his dream was to be the pirate king, and Ian was now closer to having all the road Poneglyphs, this threatened that dream. Still, Ian couldn't care less.

Although he didn't want to destroy Luffy's dream like that, he also was not going to babysit him like he was a child.

"Is that so?" Ian asked him with a calm look.

"Although I don't want such a title, I do need to reach the last island for personnel reasons! As such if I'm branded as such I won't care! I have a goal and I won't stop at anything to fulfill it!" Ian told him firmly.

This was what he had decided to do about this ages ago.

He doesn't need such a title, but it was in fact given to the strongest pirate of each time. And the owner of the one piece.

Which currently it was Ian. It was only a matter of time before people started calling him that. And even more so when he reaches the last island.

Still, Ian had a way for each of them to get what they wanted.

As such he spoke up soon after not leaving anybody any time to speak.

"The pirate king is the strongest pirate to exist! However, I'm guessing that you do not want to have that title for the treasures or to be famous right?" Ian questioned him.

And Luffy replied in the blink of an eye.

"That's right!" He said. "The pirate king is the freest person in the world. And I want to go on adventures. So what could be more exciting than the quest to become the pirate king?" Luffy said with surprisingly a serious look on his face.

"Then go on your adventure! Don't care what happens in the world. Enjoy your time, whether a new king of the pirates is born or not. You shouldn't care about that at all. The only thing you should care about is your adventure. Explore the world, many things remain hidden away. And then afterward, when you feel you are strong enough, then at that time, challenge those strong people in the world, and take the title of the strongest person in the world! And then you would become the pirate king while also having the most exciting journey you desire for, how does that sound?" Ian explained to him patiently.

Everyone from the side couldn't help but be impressed at this.

Indeed. Based on Luffy's dream, this was indeed a good plan. And it will also give the straw-hats crew time to train and become stronger.

Luffy thought hard about this. Meanwhile, his crew liked this arrangement.

This way Luffy would not be picking fights with stronger people than them all the time. In fact, all of them liked the adventure, and as much as some of them hated to agree, mainly Zoro, they were indeed still weak to sail freely and not be seen as weak.

After a while, Luffy gave Ian a nod. He understood what he meant by this.

"I agree with you! This is indeed a good idea! However you better watch out too, at that time, I would be sure to beat you too Ian! I'm sure you'll become even stronger at that time… I can't wait for that to happen, Ahaha…" Luffy started on seriously then when he thought of the epic battle between Ian and him he couldn't help but laugh excitedly.

Ian gave him a nod and a smile.

"Sure! At that time I will accept your fight, and we will deal with it like men!" Ian stated with a grin.

Luffy somehow felt a chill when Ian grinned at him. Still, after a bit, he grinned back at Ian too.

At this everyone released smile. They were glad they didn't result to fighting it out.

Law who had been keeping silent until now, finally talked.

"You said earlier, that you knew about two of the whereabouts of the red stones?" He asked Ian a crucial question.

Ian gave him a nod.

"The second one is in the hands of another emperor! And that is Kaido! Whom I believe you have already pissed off by taking down Doflamingo!" Ian told them.

Once again shocking them.

Just when the straw-hats started to curse their fates, Nekomamushi intervened as he started to speak.

"You all, you don't need to fight them to take it. In the first place, people don't rob the Poneglyphs at all. It would be troublesome to always be transporting it after all. What people usually do is to copy the text on the Poneglyph!" He told them, making their faces brighten.

However soon Ian shook his head.

"You are underestimating an emperor of the sea! That will not be possible! I know for a fact that even if it were possible, it would be extremely hard!" Ian told them.

And at this, both rulers had to nod their heads. Indeed it would not be easy.

"In Big mom's case she had already been fooled once in that regard so this makes it near impossible to fool her a second time! However, even if I could indeed do so… I choose not to! Elene here would beat Big Mom on her own. And after that, I would be taking the Poneglyphs she has with me!" Ian stated.

And Elene beamed at him from the side! She knew that Ian can in fact just teleport there and take what he needed quite easily!

Nekomamushi then stared at Robin.

"You… I would have been worried about you had you been in another crew!" He told her.

Which left her perplexed.

He then explained to her.

"Although the world government spread lies about you of wanting to destroy the world, many who searches for the true history of the world hidden in the one hundred years void, do in fact know of your importance. Big names from all of the world would search for you once they are ready to read the Poneglyphs!" He told her as he finally made his point.

"However as I said, I would have been worried if you were in any other crew, but now I don't have to think twice about it!" He said as he finished with a laugh. He could clearly feel her strength, and she was even stronger than him and the dog…

At that moment Robin had a flashback of all that had happened so far, and couldn't help but smile.

She gave her crew and Ian a smile, then she turned to see the straw-hats looking at her their eyes determined to help in any way possible.

Indeed there was no need to worry right now. She was strong, and she had the help of her new family and friends now!
