After finishing his words, Doflamingo lowered his head slightly in excitement and looked at Gawain, who was shorter than him.
But Gawain….
Facing Brother Ming's gaze, he raised his head with a smile, and the corners of his grin became more and more outrageous as the silence lasted longer.
While laughing wildly, Gawain gently shook his head.
"You are the madman you think you are, but I am not, Dover.
In other words, hehe, even you... are not the real madman you think!!!"
Having said this, Gawain raised his hand, and his body grew larger and larger under the support of lightning.
When he was a head above Brother Ming, Gawain stopped spreading the thunder.
Then, he put his right hand on Brother Ming's shoulder.
He continued to increase his strength, until Ming Ge's waist was slightly bent, and Gawain stopped this action.
Looking at Brother Ming who was under pressure but didn't care at all, Gao Wen said word by word.
"For lunatics, purpose should not be the root of their actions.
It is pure joy.
But you, haha, I feel your arrogance and indifference.
But you’re not happy at all!”
After saying that, Gao Wen let go of Brother Ming, and then shook his head gently.
"You know, Dover, I've admired some real clowns.
And the reason why I use the word "appreciation" to describe them is precisely because they also let me see a kind of purity while being crazy!
For us, no matter how pure our thoughts are, they are worthy of admiration and appreciation.
Pure kindness, pure justice, pure persistence, pure courage, etc.
Even pure madness is the same.
but you……."
Gawain smiled contemptuously and held down Brother Ming's shoulders again.
Facing Brother Ming's slightly dissatisfied and unwilling expression, Gawain smiled.
"Compared to the real clowns I have seen, that is, the kind of pure madness, you are really far behind.
You talk about madness and cruelty, but you also practice it in your life.
But you are so impure!
On the one hand, you harbor a hatred of the word betrayal.
On the other hand, you still harbor hatred for the Celestial Dragons and civilians.
You hate the common people who once trapped you in the abyss, and you hate their disgust and alienation towards you.
You also hate the Celestial Dragons who once refused your return, and at the same time sprinkled the last frost on you who were already in the snow.
Of course, being described as a traitor by those you hate also makes you hate the word hate.
You... tsk tsk, your sense of hatred is too strong and your sense of goal is really too strong. It's not pure!
You're not a real clown!"
After the words fell, Gawain let go of Dover and took out two cigarettes from his pocket.
Putting one cigarette skillfully into his mouth, Gawain put another cigarette in front of Dover.
Looking at the tobacco that was close at hand without any brand or logo, Dover gently took it.
After taking a puff of cigarette, Dover's eyes hidden under his sunglasses stared at Gawain's pupils!
"You seem to know everything about me."
He said, with an extremely determined look on his face.
At the same time, Gawain curled his lips and responded.
"I probably know you better than you know yourself."
"Haha, then you should know that the hatred you think I have is far from enough to describe my purpose and ambition!"
"But you have goals and ambitions, and that's enough."
Gawain ruthlessly responded to Dover's words, and he in turn continued to speak to Dover with the same determined expression that Dover once wore.
"You may not know that Musgarud and I have talked about you, and I have also talked about your deeds in a superficial way in my chat with the Five Old Stars.
Not to mention what happened after you awakened your Overlord Color, you started to be wanted on the wanted list at that time, and everyone at sea knew everything that happened next.
Who calls you the famous Tianyaksha?
But until then, hehe.
Dover, tell me, why on earth did you kill your father?"
"I lost my mother because of his choices!"
Dover immediately answered Gawain's words, and there was no hesitation in his eyes when he faced this question.
Doflamingo never felt that he was a mentally weak person, because after experiencing many things, his personality had already become as solid as a rock on the sea due to many reasons!
As for Gawain, after getting the answer, he nodded in understanding, and then continued to ask Dover.
"Very well, because of what happened to his biological mother, he set the core of his hatred on his father.
After all, you are right. Everything that happened to you after you were six years old, including the loss of your mother when you were eight years old, all stemmed from all the wrong choices Huo Minggu made in the past.
From this perspective, it seems that you are right to do so.
Then, continue telling me about your brother. After your father, why did you kill your last blood relative?"
"Because of betrayal!"
Brother Ming grinned and responded to Gawain with a sneer.
This time, Gawain paused for a moment, giving himself and Brother Ming some time and space to think.
After a short silence, Gawain finally continued.
"Very well, there are reasons for all your actions. Your hatred of betrayal created the reason for Rocinante's death.
But...hehe, are you sure everything you said is right?
Do you think that the reason you think is the real reason why you do what you do all the time?
No, you are not that kind of person. If you always do what you think is right, what should you do to make people laugh?
And if you can’t make people laugh, how can you call yourself a clown?”
After the words fell, Gawain smiled and flicked the ashes of his cigarette, while Dover opposite him fell completely silent.
So, after flicking away the ashes, Gawain continued to speak to Dover.
"Before this, I really thought that the reason why you killed your father and brother was the two reasons you mentioned before.
But just now, after listening to your previous words, I suddenly understood the other you!
Those who always do the right thing are not clowns, but those who do something absolutely incorrect for some reasons that may not necessarily be correct.
You may be somewhat worthy of the madness and hysteria implied in the name Joker!
Just now, you told me that you were going to destroy Mary Joa, and you were going to destroy the Celestial Dragons that Im had been taking care of like pigs.
You also want to destroy the World Government's rule over the world.
Tsk tsk, a bastard like you certainly doesn’t want to destroy the world in order to revolutionize it.
You just... remember the humiliation of being severely rejected by the Celestial Dragons.
The reason why I killed your father was because he was a Celestial Dragon!
The reason why I killed your brother is because he is a Celestial Dragon!
If your subordinates are weird-minded guys like baby5, they will attack you and attack you with all kinds of terrifying weapons.
You will simply forgive her, because they are the real family in your heart!
As for your family in the past, maybe it was after you were severely hurt by Mary Joa, and that incident caused you to lose your last harbor, which was your mother...
You no longer regard any Celestial Dragon as family.
Compared with your explanation, think carefully about my words.
You just didn't like the Celestial Dragons, so when a suitable reason appeared, you killed your father and brother, two former Celestial Dragons, with your own hands.
And in the future….
No matter how far you can follow me, you will never give up the opportunity to kill me!
If I fail on my way, then you are destined to give me a fatal blow to my decline.
And if I succeed...
By then, I, the last "Celestial Dragon", will become your only target, madman!"
After saying that, Gawain let go of Dover and leaned against the tree trunk not far away.
While smoking lazily, Gawain looked at Doflamingo.
Under the influence of sunglasses, Gawain could not see Dover's eyes clearly.
But he saw that the corners of Dover's mouth were trembling slightly and frequently.
I don't know how long he was silent, maybe the cigarette butt in his hand burned his fingers.
After taking a deep breath, Dover nodded expectantly.
"Well said, Gao Wensheng, your words even gave me some inspiration.
For example, it allowed me to see a different version of myself than I thought, Fu Fu!
But those things are at best your analysis of me, and you haven't given me the answer you should have given me.
Come on, tell me with great mercy, if I really do what you said and keep pointing the gun at the back of you, a Celestial Dragon.
Then do you still have the courage to temporarily tolerate a dangerous person like me?"
"Why not?"
Facing Dover, who was looking forward to it more and more, Gawain gently clapped his hands.
"Tsk tsk, you are always provoking me. You have obviously decided to stay on my boat a long time ago. You even called me Gao Wensheng and brought me a suitable gift.
But in front of me, you always want to maintain your disdain and arrogance.
You are such a proud person, and it is precisely because of this that you deeply hate Mary Joa, who shattered all your pride.
Or maybe, you hate your father...and that he broke the thing you should be more proud of...the life that could be the same as mine today, or even do better than mine?"
After the words fell, Gawain stretched out his hand and waved lightly, while Brother Ming sneered and moved closer to Gawain.
After getting close to Zuo, Gawain said softly.
"I'm too lazy to deceive anyone, so I can tell you openly.
You are the one I threw on the boat, a dangerous person who arouses the vigilance of all cadres.
Of course, you also remind me, letting me always pay attention to your dangers, which allows me to examine myself and make decisions more accurately.
But apart from this purpose, you don’t have any special meaning to me. When necessary, I don’t mind sacrificing you in exchange for something more important to me!”
"oh?"
After hearing this, Brother Ming finally showed an unconvinced expression. Facing Gawain's contemptuous eyes, Brother Ming raised his head proudly.
"Fush, fufu, even I am not worthy of your attention.
Although the things I have are very few, they are after all a country's land and more than 40% of the territory and interests of the dark world.
If I exist for one day, no one may see my value, but if I disappear, I guarantee that the entire sea will fall into chaos because of me!
Therefore, my great Gao Wensheng.
What interesting benefits do you want to exchange for someone like me?"
After saying that, the proud Brother Ming showed an extremely arrogant expression. Gawain could see that Dover was really proud of everything he had.
On the one hand, after losing his identity as a Celestial Dragon, Dover rose from the mud and took back the country that Don Quixote once controlled, Dressrosa!
Before the Don Quixote family became Celestial Dragons, Dressrosa was the kingdom of the Don Quixote family, and they were the kings there!
After the Don Quixote family became twenty kings, they gave up the kingdom and made Dressrosa the territory of King Riku's family.
Now, regarding Dressrosa, Gawain can see that Dover's emotions have always been fragmented.
On the one hand, Dover is proud that he has regained what his family has lost. Although he no longer belongs to the family and is no longer a Celestial Dragon, he has regained everything Don Quixote had through his own efforts!
On the other hand….
Dressrosa is something that the Quixote family disdains to master...
This fact also reminds Dover all the time that he is picking up people's wisdom!
Because of this, Dover sneaked into the dark world and transformed into a joker to stir up trouble underground.
Compared with Dressrosa, the underground world is his essence, and that is his truly proudest achievement!
There, any golden fruit he throws will become the focus of the world government!
There, he used arms transactions to inject his influence into the Yonko Pirates and the Navy!
Of course, those are just Dover's own ideas, and perhaps Dover himself feels that those ideas are not worthy of special praise.
Therefore, when he counterattacked Gawain, he only cited his territory and power, but did not talk about his own alternative influence.
In short, Gawain already knows one thing, that is...
The proud flamingo standing in front of him has now begun to show weakness towards him.
So Gawain stared at Dover deeply for a while. Just when Dover looked a little anxious, Gawain laughed.
"Are the things you mentioned comparable to immortality?"
"What!"
At this moment, Dover's eyes widened violently!
He looked at Gawain intently and asked word for word.
"When you say immortality... you mean...?"
"The fruit of the operation, Dover."
Gawain's answer instantly shattered Dover's original plan, because he thought of many things he and Gawain had communicated. What he didn't know was that Gawain knew the secret behind the fruit of the operation!
This fact is very scary, because the current host of the surgical fruit does not even have a reward.
And understanding the connection between the surgical fruit and his Dover means that Gawain at least knows everything Rosinandi did.
Among them, Dover did not guarantee whether Virgo's existence had been discovered by the big shots.
After all, in Dover's opinion, if even Gawain knew this, then no matter the CP department, the navy or the world government.
I am afraid that all qualified people know this secret that he thinks!
And in that case, the countless secrets Vergo has passed on to him over the years, including when he made the plan to hijack Dressrosa in exchange for the Shichibukai, Vergo's estimate of the probability of success based on his understanding of the navy, I'm afraid
There are problems!
And if there are problems with even those, then why do the Navy and the World Government continue to follow his plan?
For a moment, Brother Ming was completely frozen in place.
Just as Brother Ming stiffened, Gao Wen continued with a smile.
"That kid from Trafalgar is very concerned about you, and if the surgical fruit wants to create immortality, the owner of the fruit must actively sacrifice his life.
So, Dover, do you think I can use your life in exchange for the Trafalgar children's commitment to me?
If it is possible, what do you think...
Are you qualified to compete with my future immortality?"
After saying that, Gawain waved his hand casually and shouted to Brother Ming, who was completely stunned on the spot.
"Okay, our conversation ends here, come with me, Dover.
Although everyone on the ship will definitely not like my decision, no matter what, just treat me the same way you treat Kaido.
Although you are not qualified to cooperate with me, I allow you to follow me as long as you can provide me with benefits.
However, please try to put away your ever-expanding feathers that are full of arrogance and bad taste.
Otherwise, haha.
I will beat you into a chick with my own hands!!!"
