Super Card System-Chapter 712: The Shifted Island
“From the cards… the person you’re inquiring about is in no danger!” Hawkins said. He flipped over one of the cards to show Ian the image: it was a vivid depiction of imprisonment—a large birdcage hanging in mid-air, with an indistinct shadow inside, both hands gripping the bars.
Hawkins continued, “The person you’re asking about may currently be imprisoned or in a small, confined space, but that’s all. There’s no sign or symbol on the card indicating any danger, so the probability of his safety should be 100%!”
Reliable indeed! Ian had previously asked Hawkins for a divination, and he was deeply impressed by his abilities. This time, it was even more remarkable.
Hawkins hadn’t seen the message from Drake, so he didn’t know about Uncle Fujitora and Ace being imprisoned in Wano Country. Similarly, Ian hadn’t told him, but he could deduce from the cards that they were imprisoned—truly amazing.
This underling was indeed a good addition! Ian thought and said to Hawkins, “I need you to do another divination!”
Hawkins said nothing, covered the cards, shuffled them again, laid them out on the table, and gestured for Ian to draw.
Ian silently focused on the matter he wanted to divine while drawing three cards.
This time, he wanted to divine the probability of Ace and Uncle Fujitora safely escaping!
However, to Ian’s surprise, Hawkins told him in confusion, “Captain, the probability for this question is 0!”
“Uh!?” Ian immediately frowned. Does that mean Ace and Uncle Fujitora cannot escape? How is that possible?
Wait! Ian suddenly thought of something and realized there might be a problem with his previous focus during the divination. He had only thought about Ace and Uncle Fujitora escaping but hadn’t considered how they would escape! So the result of this divination might refer to the probability of Ace and Uncle Fujitora escaping on their own.
Because in Ian’s original plan, he intended to first visit Old Man Whitebeard to inquire about the situation and then find someone to lead the way to Wano Country to rescue Fujitora and Ace. Escaping on their own and being rescued are two different methods.

“Let’s do it once more!” Ian said to Hawkins.
Hawkins didn’t object and had Ian draw cards again.
This time, Ian thought: If I set out personally to rescue them, what is the probability of Ace and Uncle Fujitora escaping? Will there be any accidents or dangers on this trip!?
However, when Ian handed the cards to Hawkins, Hawkins was also surprised and said, “Captain, this time it shows a 100%! And what you intend to do seems to be achieved very easily…”
The results of the two divinations are vastly different?
In other words, Ace and Uncle Fujitora cannot escape from Wano Country’s prison on their own?
That’s certainly possible. Although Ace and Fujitora are powerful, they are Devil Fruit users. In this world, there are things that can restrain Devil Fruit abilities—not only Seastone but also seawater. Perhaps they are imprisoned in a water cell? In that case, there’s nothing they can do.
Ian couldn’t figure out the exact situation, but what surprised him was that if he took action, he could rescue them with a 100% success rate.
This doesn’t refer to Ian using his combat strength to rescue them. Didn’t Hawkins say it would be very easy? That is, perhaps… there won’t be any battles?
What’s going on here? Ian couldn’t figure it out. He also knew that although Hawkins’s divinations were quite accurate, they often could only provide a general and vague indication; specific situations couldn’t be reflected.
But this was already good enough. Although it was strange why the results of the two divinations were so different, Ian only needed to go personally to understand what was going on.
Now that he knew the two were temporarily safe, he wasn’t afraid that visiting the Whitebeard Pirates’ base would delay time and lead to changes.
So, after Hawkins left, Ian found Crocodile and told him he planned to visit the Whitebeard Pirates’ base, asking him to look after the pirate crew during this time and to contact him promptly via Den Den Mushi if anything happened.
Crocodile agreed but reminded Ian, “Before you leave, you’d better see Nico Robin. She seems to have made some progress in interpreting and organizing those Poneglyphs collected by the Big Mom Pirates!”
“I understand!” Ian nodded and then headed toward the treasure room where Robin was likely to be.
Upon entering the treasure room, Ian saw Robin’s graceful back. She was standing in front of a Poneglyph, looking at the inscriptions while holding a thick notebook, her right hand writing swiftly with a quill pen.
Hearing Ian’s footsteps, Robin turned around. Ian noticed she was wearing glasses, and he suddenly felt as if something had struck his heart heavily.
The mature and elegant Robin, now with a scholarly look—this is just… too wonderful!
“You’re here?” Robin smiled at Ian.
“You look beautiful; those glasses suit you!” Ian praised.
“Really?” Robin chuckled. “I think so too…”
Ian stepped forward, boldly wrapped his arm around Robin’s slender waist, shamelessly saying, “Hehe, you look like a teacher… So, Teacher Robin, can you give me a lesson? Look at my eyes full of eagerness for knowledge…”
“Hehe!” Robin adjusted her glasses, teasingly leaned close to Ian’s ear, and gently blew as she asked, “Alright, little Ian, what do you want me to teach you?”
“I want to drive… Ah no, I want to know why you smell so good!” Ian took a deep breath of Robin’s scent. “It smells wonderful!”
However, in the next second, Robin giggled and said, “Oh? Is it better than Big Mom’s scent!?”
Hearing this, Ian’s face instantly turned green!
“Come on! So many days have passed; can we stop with this joke?” Ian said gloomily, hugging Robin. “Do you have to hold a grudge?”
Robin laughed so hard she was almost in tears. Not just her, but several of the girls in the pirate crew had been teasing Ian like this recently. They would try to flirt with him, and at a romantic moment, suddenly say something like that. Ian’s expression was just too amusing, as if he’d taken a 100,000-point critical hit!
So, Robin is actually a bit mischievous!
“Am I being too indulgent with you all?” Ian said depressingly, but his hands began to gently caress Robin. He needed some compensation after being traumatized just now!
Hmm, reminiscing about the feeling when he applied sunscreen for them…
However, suddenly a hand appeared at Robin’s waist, pinching Ian’s hand and twisting it away.
“Alright, let’s talk business!” Robin said with a smile, adjusting her glasses again. “These past few days, I’ve been studying that red Poneglyph and have deciphered it. As you said before, this Poneglyph records information about an island. But strangely, when I checked the sea charts, I couldn’t find the island mentioned on the Poneglyph!”
“Huh? What’s going on?” Ian was puzzled.
“There are many possibilities!” Robin bit the end of her pen, thinking. “It could be tectonic shifts or ocean currents causing the recorded island to deviate from its original coordinates. After all, the content on the Poneglyph is hundreds of years old; anything could have happened!”
“Then…” Ian suddenly thought of something bad and asked, “Is it possible that the island has sunk!?”
“No… not likely!” Robin thought for a moment and said, “I remember you told me before that Pirate King Roger had also made a rubbing of this Poneglyph from Big Mom. If Roger used the content recorded on the stone as a reference to find the final island, Laugh Tale, then it means this island still exists!”
“Right! That was over twenty years ago…” Ian nodded. “If it was still there hundreds of years later, there’s no reason it wouldn’t be there twenty years later…”
“So I speculate that sinking is unlikely, but it’s possible the location has shifted!” Robin said. “This means that if we want to find this island, we need an excellent navigator to compare past and present sea charts to calculate the possible location of this island…”
“An excellent navigator?” Ian was stunned, then looked at Robin.
Then, both of them said in unison: “Nami!!!”
