As if he felt something, Lovett, who was reading a book, raised his head and looked out the window, and said slowly: "Pirates protect the future, while the navy protects the present."
"There is fundamentally no right or wrong between the two sides."
"If there is, it is also the ruler's fault."
Aka didn't answer, but just bowed and filled the wine glass for him.
"Human life is too short, as short as thirty or forty years is enough for renewal and iteration. The eight-hundred-year-old dynasty has already exceeded the limits of mankind. Excessive corruption is inevitable."
Aka asked curiously.
"What the master means is that the focus of the prophecy on the doomsday of the gods is not actually the prophecy itself, but the judgment made by someone who clearly understands the inevitability of dynasty change?"
Lovett did not answer and continued: "But even mages with an average lifespan of more than 500 years, a decadent regime like St. Oakland's Magic Empire appeared thousands of years later."
Aka frowned and asked again after a moment: "There are limits to living people after all, and only death is eternal?"
Lovett finally looked at him and said funny.
"No, I mean, why alternate rights?"
Aka: “???”
"As long as a wise ruler sits in that position forever, all these problems can be avoided."
"The existence of such a person is an era."
"Death is the end of an era."
"The transition in between never comes."
The corners of Aka's mouth twitched.
do you mean this?
Okay, that seems to be what it means.
And the only ones that can withstand the erosion of eternal time, at least with precedents, are the mage clan.
Only if they can withstand the test of time by relying on their absolutely rational calculation power can they achieve what Lovett said, "Existence is the era."
I, as expected, am more than a step behind!
Just as he was about to put a bottle of wine worth hundreds of thousands of Pele back into the ice bucket, Aka suddenly felt something and listened attentively.
After a moment, he bowed and said: "Master, the red hair is here."
No wonder the master suddenly said these words, and Aka seemed to have some realization.
That guy is just a naive fool who doesn't understand this.
Even though there is hope that will never be extinguished, we still have to pursue our own short-lived flower that blooms in an instant.
Who gave him the right to use other people's lives to achieve his own goals?
This kind of person is pitiable and respectable, but also unworthy of sympathy.
"This is the limitation of human beings!"
Lovett closed the book, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Do you still have the specialty volcanic meat that the Beihai merchants brought last time?"
"Return to the master, there are some."
"That's good, I'll have that for dinner."
Aka smiled slightly at this: "Understood!"
…
Black Beast Federation, the sea border to which Auroville City belongs.
Shanks jumped into a small boat and waved to the Red Forth behind him.
"Just send it here, everyone."
"If I don't come back, remember to do as I say... This is the last thing I ask of you as the captain!"
In response, Jesus wiped the nosebleed with a bruised face and his eyes were red.
"But Captain..."
"Why don't you think about yourself?"
"I heard that Luffy brat has already reached the first half of the stage, and maybe there will be a turn for the better soon!"
"I am the turning point."
At this time, Shanks smiled freely.
"Luffy is too used to messing around. If you don't remind him of this, one day, this last hope will disappear."
"I am the person closest to him, and he will understand the reason why I do this, so he can better protect himself."
After a pause and looking around at the crying crew members on the deck, Shanks' expression turned serious.
"So remember, don't avenge me. My journey is over. I'll leave it to you in the future!"
Just when Jesus Bu and others were still thinking of saying something, suddenly, a vast sense of oppression fell from the sky.
Everyone looked at the silver light flashing in the sky with fear and anxiety, splitting the sky into large nets, with fear on their faces.
That monster...
Found them!!
Shanks turned around suddenly, and the famous sword Griffin burst out with a bright sword light.
戗!!
Then a sword energy tore through the ocean, splitting an undead hiding in the water into two pieces.
But even so, it did not die. With a mocking expression on its face, it dragged its body and slowly sank to the bottom of the water.
Boom!!
Thick dark clouds gradually covered the sky, and as the clouds surged, a giant human face hundreds of meters in diameter emerged.
Seeing this, Shanks clenched his beloved sword in his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Black Count!"
Above the sky, the giant human face seemed to hear something, and slowly opened its eyes at this moment.
But there is nothing inside, only black, deep darkness that swallows up all light.
The calm voice was deafening, echoing throughout the world.
"If Kaido knew that you came to me, he would definitely not sit still... Such a big scene is far more interesting than me going to war with him."
"No, Kaido is still in the country of Wano. He just set off at this time. Even if he wanted to participate in the battle, he would not be able to make it in time."
This is a lie!
Although Shanks's body was so locked that it was impossible to see through his soul from such a distance, Lovett knew that the reason why he dared to trouble him was far more than that.
"Oh, that's how it is!"
But he has no interest in exposing such a ridiculous trick. What you think you think is what I think. When the truth is revealed, it will be more dramatic.
"Then come on. I'll be waiting for you on the desert island ahead. I hope... you won't escape your fate."
"I never believe in fate!"
Shanks got into the boat and picked up the oar. A wanton smile appeared on his face with a shaggy beard surrounding his mouth, and he said: "As long as hope exists for one day, everything will turn around."
In response, Lovett gave him a deep look, which made Shanks' heart hidden under his calm expression couldn't help but twitch.
Fortunately, Lovett didn't seem to notice anything and said calmly: "Well, whatever you say is what it is."
Click!
Shanks couldn't help but veins popped out on his forehead: "Do you think I'm a fool?!"
But the human face in the sky had slowly drifted away at this moment, and no response came.
Shanks took a deep breath and turned his face: "Escape!"
"The Black Earl will not be so kind as to challenge me to a duel. The undead army must be on its way here!"
"……clear!"
Lucky Lu held Jesus Bu's shoulders and nodded to Shanks.
…
And just when the two Yonko of the New World were about to fight, Whitebeard's huge fleet finally appeared within the navy's sight.
"Are they all dispatched?"
Across the maelstrom sea, Marineford naturally couldn't see that far away, and the surveillance troops couldn't get close at all, so they could only estimate the number of people on the other side through long-distance photography and phone bugs.
The pirate alliance of about 70,000 to 80,000 people is enough to prove that Whitebeard has staked everything for this battle!
"Inform the Gate of Justice that as long as the opponent enters the shooting range, fire with all your strength!"
"yes!"
Akainu shook his head and rejected the chair brought by the soldiers, and stood on the high platform with his arms folded.
"Since you dare to come, just stay here, Whitebeard!"
However, just when everyone in the Navy thought that it would take some time to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates, a series of bubbles suddenly appeared in the bay port in front of the square.
"That is how the matter?"
The nearby officers immediately noticed the abnormality, drew their weapons and stood ready.
At this time, Fujitora, who was sitting on the left side of the three general thrones in the middle of the high platform, suddenly opened his eyes, his cloudy pupils staring straight ahead.
"Something is coming out of the bottom of the sea!"
"This breath..."
Bang!!!
Before he finished speaking, in the horrified eyes of countless navy, the world-famous whale pirate ship rushed out of the water.
The soap bubbles exploded in the sun, bringing out colorful lights that shone dazzlingly.
At the front of the deck, a majestic and giant-like tall figure held a naginata in his hand and wore only a white coat with a crescent-shaped beard and skull printed on his upper body, laughing wildly.
"Gula la la la la, my son is under your care, Navy."
"Now I'll take him away!"
Faced with such arrogant words, at this moment, even if they had been mentally prepared, countless sailors could not help but think of that nursery rhyme.
"Pirate Whitebeard is scarier than a ghost."
"Be careful, be careful, be careful when you meet him."
