On the Blackbird, the bright lights made the deck seem like daytime. Gawain sat in the middle of thousands of people and raised his wine glass. Suddenly, thousands of wine bowls were smashed by his soldiers.
Hearing the sound of the wine bowl breaking, Gawain looked to his side in a funny way.
Although the large circle of people around me were drinking, their expressions were really bad.
Therefore, even his return cannot make them put aside their grudges temporarily.
Then the trouble between them was really too big!
After knowing what he was doing, Gawain raised his glass again.
"Aramaki, pull your note out of the barrel!
If you drink, drink well!
You have to use a straw when drinking, you are a sissy!
take it out!"
"As you command!"
After hearing Gawain's words, Arammu reluctantly took back his note. While doing so, he rubbed his chin depressedly.
"I also wanted to set a record of not eating for several consecutive years, but when the adults came back, I broke the record.
After the words fell, he uneasily picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip.
Beside him, Barrett, whose relationship with him became increasingly strong, laughed and patted his shoulder.
In the distance, seeing everyone eating haise together, Sakaski groaned in dissatisfaction.
In his opinion, the scene in front of him was really unruly!
As a soldier, how could he drink and have fun so wildly?
So unruly!
Thinking of this, Sakaski turned his head away in displeasure, but at this moment, Gawain suddenly called out.
"Sakaski, come and have a drink with me."
"Okay, sir."
Sakaski's expression changed, and he quickly picked up the wine barrel and saluted Gawain.
When others drink, they are dissolute, but I am accompanying you for the sake of the future of the Navy.
Others are playing and I am working. How can it be the same?
Having said that, the wine on your boat tastes really good, it's not the kind sold in the market.
So, the ship’s chef brewed it himself?
There is also a faint herbal flavor in the wine, which makes it taste particularly fragrant and pure.
So doctors are also involved in the brewing business?
What a wine!
In the distance, looking at Sakaski drinking heavily, Kapton burst into laughter.
While laughing, he hugged Reilly and said.
"Ah hahahaha, I have been looking forward to this scene for all these years.
No matter how many people die, as long as the future is getting closer and the light becomes clearer and clearer, it is enough!
There is no time to regret the spring and autumn. It’s good to be alive until now. It would be even better if you keep drinking it like this!
It’s really exciting, even though I didn’t like that guy’s face at first.
But now it seems that I am really narrow-minded...narrow-minded...hoo~hoo~hoo~."
"Um?"
Suddenly he couldn't hear Garp's voice. Rayleigh turned his head in confusion. Isn't this old man Garp reaching his birthday?
Not far away, seeing his grandfather suddenly collapse on the table, Luffy's expression paused, and then he immediately burst into laughter.
"Haha, the old man fell asleep. If you really mean sleeping, just...hu~hu~hu~."
"hehe……."
Next to Luffy, Ace curled his lips disdainfully when he saw Luffy arriving in an instant.
"You guys don't have much capacity for drinking. They just sleep when they want. Come on, Prometheus, let's show them what it means to be a wine master!"
If you can't drink, what kind of man is he on the sea... a man... Huh~huh~huh~."
Well, before the words were finished, Ace also lay down. The scene of these three men sleeping as soon as they said they were going to sleep really shocked the people around them...
Beside Ace, Iska, who was staring closely at Ace, looked at Ace's appearance with a helpless expression on his face.
Originally, she thought that what stood between her and Ace was the opposing identities of the navy and the pirates.
Later, the identity problem was solved, but Ace was again tied up by Lord Gawain, his career, and his training.
When Ace finally got rid of the endless training, his younger brothers joined in again.
He finally got used to his brothers, and even got them to accept him as their sister-in-law.
As a result, Ace has an inseparable Prometheus next to him...
Ah ah ah ah ah!!!
Iska is going crazy!
Where do all these obstacles come from?
I just want to get married, why is it so difficult?
Do you have to wait until the Blackbird unites the world, waits until all the brothers get married and have children, then this bastard Ace can remember to press my mother on the bed and thrash about with all her strength!
Don’t they all say that women chase men’s spacer veils?
But there is a black hole next to Ace, right???
It’s not over, right?!!
The depressed Iska stood up suddenly, sent Prometheus away who wanted to take care of Ace, picked up Ace and left.
"Ah?!"
Prometheus was startled and quickly wanted to chase after him.
But before he could catch up, he was caught in the arms of Sister Xia Qi.
"Ah, Sister Xia Qi?"
Prometheus was startled.
And Xia Qi.
She nodded, then patted Prometheus' body.
"Don't follow me, little Homitz.
On a romantic night like today, let’s leave time to excited boys and girls~.
It’s time for children like them to become adults, haha~.”
Having said this, Xia Qi turned her head and glanced at Lei Li, and Mr. Lei Li's waist suddenly tightened.
"I know, don't worry, after I send this old guy Garp back to his room, we'll meet at the same place later."
"Hmm~."
After receiving Rayleigh's response, Xia Qi nodded with satisfaction.
She also held it in for a long time.
Ever since Garp, the old ghost, had no limits and completely accepted the existence of Black Bird, he moved to Upside Down Mountain to accompany his man and drink all day long.
These two old guys took the young people from Upside Down Mountain almost all over the world, and almost no one visited their old garden.
But it's fine now, Gawain is back.
It's not that Gawain came back to patronize him.
But now that Gawain comes back, Xuanniao and the navy must have something serious to do.
As long as there is serious business, the old guys will become serious~.
As the old men left one after another, the banquet became an era for young people. Even after thinking about it with a smile, they went back to sleep despite being drunk.
By the end, everyone around Gawain was lying down except Hancock and Zion.
Looking at the drunken people, Gawain waved his hand, and naturally someone sent them back to their respective rooms.
In the end, only Zion and Hancock were left with him on the deck.
Unmentioned, after holding his wife in his arms and watching the moonlight all night, Gawain sent his wives back to their rooms to rest.
However, he did not rest himself, but continued to return to the deck and sit quietly.
This sitting lasted all night, until dawn, when Zefa took the new soldiers to start training, Gao Wen waved to the second-generation secretary Zi Keya.
"Keya."
He ordered quietly.
"At ten o'clock in the morning, let all the cadres come to see me.
Remember, it’s all.”
"As you command, my lord."
Keya nodded and went down, and Gawain sat on the deck and continued to watch the sunrise.
Wait until the sun gradually rises and the sky becomes brighter on the sea.
Rayleigh, Sakaski, Mihawk, Big Bear, and so on, all of them came behind Gawain one by one.
They didn't say anything, and just waited with Gawain. Before half past nine, everyone had already arrived.
So what if they all came together, Gawain still didn't say a word.
So what if he didn't say a word? No matter how quiet it was, no one dared to say a word at this moment.
At this moment, all the soldiers who passed by the deck on official business were so frightened that their feet softened.
Of course they didn't understand why the emperor and his officials sat on the boat in silence.
What about the cadres?
Even just sitting there, they gradually understood.
Because the direction that Gawain, who was sitting there, was pointing at at the moment, was the red earth continent in the distance!
In other words, that direction is MarieJoia!!!
For a time, even if the environment was extremely quiet, the heartbeats of everyone were getting louder and louder uncontrollably.
Marie Joa?
Marie Joa!
Sir, do you really want to make that decision?
One minute...three minutes.
One hour, three hours….
Everyone followed Gawain to sit in meditation, and they actually continued to sit in meditation until the afternoon of that day, and until the sun went down.
Looking at the sunset reflected on the sea.
Watching the sun gradually set until it approached the direction of the Red Earth Continent.
Just when the sun was half covered by the red continent...
Gawain spoke.
I saw him raising his hand and pointing to the sunset on the horizon, smiling.
"Haha, even the sun that shines on the world always rises and falls in cycles.
So, everyone, is it time for the world itself to cycle like the sun?"
After the words fell, Gawain put down his hand, and then gently exhaled.
Behind him, everyone's breathing quickened for a moment, but they still did not dare to speak.
After waiting for a few seconds, Gawain took a deep breath and spoke softly to everyone.
"Even if I'm just sitting on the throne, I can still feel the irritability in your hearts.
Even after yesterday's banquet, the irritability in your hearts has not dissipated, but has intensified as time goes by.
I should be dissatisfied, because I have the qualifications to be dissatisfied, and I have more reasons to be dissatisfied than you!
Just when I am not irritable, you think about the irritability issue before me. However, when I haven't thought about it, you may be able to think about it, but you are definitely not qualified to make a decision!
What do you think, Sakaski, and Kuzan?"
Having said this, Gawain's tone was harsh. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Kuzan and Sakaski indifferently.
Immediately, facing Gawain's gaze, Sakaski and Kuzan quickly knelt down.
They all lowered their heads and said nothing.
After looking at the two people kneeling down, Gawain continued to look at the other anxious people.
After a moment, he smiled and sighed, then stood up and knelt down on one knee.
"It's my fault, sir, it's me..."
"It has nothing to do with him!"
Suddenly, Zefa stood up and interrupted Yixiao's words.
I saw him standing with that unruly smile for a moment, and then explained.
"You can imagine my hatred for pirates. It was precisely because I was first attracted by Sakaski's decision that it influenced Yixiao and others who had a good relationship with me, and they became determined to hunt down the pirates as soon as possible!
Your Excellency, you all know what happened next. I didn’t expect that I could cause such a big mess.
Not only are there obvious signs of division within the Navy, but even the Black Bird has been affected, and Garp, an old man, has not spoken to me for a long time.
In short, there are thousands of mistakes, and the fault is mine alone!
If you want to kill or cut into pieces...how could you do this?
Anyway, I accept the punishment, even if I am asked to clean the toilet or something, there will be no problem!"
After saying that, Zefa stood there with his neck stiffened like an old angry young man.
Looking at Zefa who was like a defeated rooster, Gawain stared into his eyes coldly.
A moment later, Yixiao was already planning to plead for Zefa.
Gawain suddenly smiled.
"It's good to know that it's your problem, Teacher Zefa.
Now you are not just a naval admiral. Standing in the emerging force of Xuanniao, your every word and deed may have an impact on the entire force!
Don't blame me for becoming more alarmist recently, but at this moment, I need us to have only one voice.
my voice!
As for now, sit down, Teacher Zefa.
Continue to listen to what I say, remember, it’s my words!”
After the words fell, Gawain waved his hand, and Zefa immediately took a good tone, and then sat down quietly.
In the distance, Garp took a deep breath, and then Seng Guo, who arrived late last night, whispered in his ear.
"Look at this guy, Warring States, his momentum is much stronger than yours.
In other words, Kuzan and Sakaski are just generals who can't even fart.
It's not like you. If you stand in front of them, your quarrels will almost deafen my ears..."
"Don't whisper to each other, I'm talking about you, Mr. Garp!!!"
Gawain rolled his eyes and turned his head to look at Garp, whose serious atmosphere was completely destroyed.
Facing Gawain, Garp waved his hand sheepishly, then sat up straight with a serious expression.
Looking at the rogue Garp, Gawain took a deep breath.
The people in front of me are from the pirate world. It's already good for them to be as quiet as they are now, and they don't ask for too much.
All you want is discipline and obedience to yourself!
Because the strength of each of us comes from the pursuit and freedom in our hearts.
Limiting those things is equivalent to limiting the potential of rising stars!
In short, after the atmosphere returned to silence, Gawain raised his right hand again and pointed gently at the towering red earth continent in the distance.
Then, he said seriously.
"Whether it's a more aggressive attack on the new world.
Or is it more stable to erode the Grand Line?
Although both of these things are necessary to do, compared with my goals, their priority... is too low!
When the last war started, we were irreparably separated from Mariejoia.
When the combination of the black bird and the navy can defeat the entire New World pirate alliance, it means that together, we also have the power to threaten Mary Joa!
Everyone, open your eyes and take a look at that towering city.
Think about his past, think about the fate of every force in history that could threaten that city!
If you don’t understand the history, go find Robin and let her explain it to you step by step.
And today, I just need you to remember.
From this moment on, put aside all disputes between you, because I will need the strength of each of you when I come down!
