Lying on his back for a moment, feeling the hot water, Gawain breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head and glanced at Whitebeard.

"How does it feel? Being able to take a dip in such a hot spring after the battle will make your and my life's struggle in vain, right?"

"Glala lala, Gawain, you are still so young, why do you always say what our old man says!"

Whitebeard stretched his legs a little, and then he continued with a smile.

"As for a lifetime of struggle, don't say that, I have never struggled in my life!

In this life, I just follow the crowd, the so-called number one in the world, the so-called pirate emperor.

Gu la la la, don’t I understand how it is possible for pirates to have an emperor!”

Having said this, Whitebeard closed his eyes and briefly soaked his head in the water.

After a while, he sat up with his beard hanging down.

“However, this hot spring is really comfortable!

If you are not a Celestial Dragon, but a pirate like me, then I will definitely invite you to be my brother!

In that case, blah blah blah, I can enjoy hot springs like this every day!"

"Ha ha!"

When Whitebeard finished speaking, Gawain immediately laughed with Whitebeard, and he said while laughing.

"Fortunately you didn't say you wanted to adopt me as your son, otherwise I would have been really angry.

But, Whitebeard, you actually enjoy the free hot springs more, right?"

"Call me Newgate, why bother talking about so-called nicknames?

My old husband, Edward Newgate, will not change his name in office and his surname in office.

As for free you mentioned….

Gawain, you are right, I love all free sports!

So have you found out my secret?"

Whitebeard's words suddenly changed, and he showed a fierce look. Facing the seemingly fierce Whitebeard, Gawain just lay down in the hot spring and closed his eyes.

"What can't be found?"

As he said this, Gawain went to the side and took out a cigarette. After lighting it, he exhaled the smoke and said.

"You are obviously doing something kind, so why are you worried that I know about it?

Or do you think that I will threaten you with the lawless island that you have guarded for a long time, which is now the paradise?

No, that's not my style. Others can use secret means to deal with me, and occasionally a few of my subordinates can use that means to deal with others in turn.

But you should be able to understand that I can’t do that, I can’t even think that way.”

"yes……."

The white beard nodded leisurely.

"The leader is the soul of the team. Your will and choice will also determine the direction of you and your entire force, Gawain.

As the one sitting tallest, whether you or I, we can't always avoid bad things happening.

But as long as our hearts and eyes stand high enough, no matter how wrong things are, we can bring about the right results!

But if we are going in the wrong direction, no matter how hard the navigators try, they will not be able to correct our ship!"

Speaking of this, Whitebeard looked at Gawain with admiration.

"After I learned that your flag replaced my flag on Fish-Man Island, I was really worried that you had harmed it.

But after I knew what you had done, I felt relieved.

How can someone who is willing to deliver the dream of Fish-Man Island to them that they have pursued for hundreds of years be my enemy, haha!

How about it, Gawain, I have also investigated your information.

So you investigate my matter and offset it, how about that?"

"Of course it offsets it, otherwise would we both have a fall in the hot spring?"

Gawain smiled and waved his hand, and he asked interestingly.

"Speaking of which, I can only compete with you in a place like this, right?"

"Ah, your strength..."

Listening to Gawain's self-deprecation, Whitebeard grinned.

"Don't mention your strength. You can't even beat my stupid son Teach now. He's obviously so weak that he doesn't even have a bounty on his head. Gu la la la!

So, Gawain, if you believe me, go find a fruit powerful enough and eat it!

Don't learn from Roger Reli and the others. What if you don't use the fruit? Will it make strong men of the same strength superior to others?

And you, as Rayleigh's current captain, have that blind young man and a strong man like Gion under your command!

To be honest, even when I think about your position, I feel in danger for you!"

Whitebeard showed a reminiscing look and continued thinking.

"You should know that I was a man who drifted on Captain Locks' ship.

At that time, Rocks' subordinates were a group of guys like us who were so powerful that they made all pirates tremble.

But so what, the more powerful a person is, the more determined their goal will be. I don’t know what you rely on to gather them.

But if one day, when you can no longer achieve their goals, or after you have achieved their goals...

Then with your strength, it would be too dangerous to sit in the highest position!

Rocks is already strong enough, but even so, we still fell apart back then!

Although Cap and Roger put in a lot of effort, I must say that the crew's own laziness and ambition accounted for a large part of the reason!

So Gawain, as soon as possible, use the fastest speed to strengthen your strength!

To my sons, I will tell them that dreams can be anything and dreams never die!

But for you and me, I have to say this.

This is an extremely realistic sea, and only strength is the basis of everything!

And only the strongest person in the world is qualified to let everyone accept his current dream and his future dream, Gawain!!!"

Whitebeard suddenly raised his hand, and he instinctively wanted to rub Gawain's head.

Noticing Whitebeard's movements, Gawain quickly raised his head. He stared at Whitebeard's hand and rolled his eyes.

Looking at Gawain's eyes, his white beard was slightly stunned, and he quickly put his hand in mid-air back into the warm water.

"Ahem, I really appreciate young people like you, haha!"

"Well, yes, although I can't accept it, I can understand you."

Gawain smiled and flicked the ashes of his cigarette, then he looked at Whitebeard and smiled.

"After all, the reason why you are where you are today is because you like to have sons!"

"Gu la la la, tell me carefully and let me see if you really understand me!"

Whitebeard looked at Gawain with interest.

Facing Whitebeard's eyes, Gawain smiled and continued.

"Imagine a guy who is willing to treat all the children in the world as his own children.

A person who hopes to bring all the happiness in the world to all children.

Shouldn't he be as domineering as you?"

"The whole world..."

As soon as Gawain finished speaking, Whitebeard let out a sigh of relief.

"You're right, but I'm not as good as you said. I don't think about the world. I just don't want to hear any child cry!"

Speaking of this, Whitebeard turned to Gawain and asked.

"You have already told me about my dream, what about you?

You know, your domineering beauty can easily crush me!

I want to see what kind of dream can carry such an intensity of overlord color!"

Whitebeard suddenly sat up, sitting cross-legged in the water, looking at Gawain with great solemnity.

And Gawain…….

Faced with Whitebeard's solemn attitude, he still lay there leisurely. He thought for a moment and then said.

"How can your little desire to reunite your family compete with my desire to change the entire world?

When you look at each child, do you know that I am also looking at you from a higher place!
