Having said this, Kizaru curled his lips and successfully made his image even more vulgar.
On the side, Gawain nodded slightly and said in a deep voice.
"From the Grand Line to the Four Seas, the gap in the quality of the navy is astonishingly large.
It is obvious that the various routes in the Four Seas are much safer than the Grand Line, the weather is relatively more solid, and the number of branches in the Four Seas far exceeds that of the Grand Line.
But even so, the efficiency of Four Seas Navy operations is not even one-third that of the Great Route Navy."
After the words fell, Gawain shook his head with a stern face.
"Such qualities do have some replacement significance. Disarmament and the expansion of new troops are not good things in any era, but compared with today, which will inevitably get worse if it continues, the path of disarmament first and then expansion is actually a good thing.
Has it become a certain consensus within the Navy and an inevitable future?"
After saying that, Gawain let out a breath of displeasure, and then he looked towards the sea.
"Forget it, there are already too many troublesome things for us to think about today.
I don’t want to think about it anymore, you and I should just continue preparing the food.
Compared with the future, tonight's needs are obviously more important. I don't want a few days to pass and another tragedy like human cannibalism is reported on this island, which is already on the verge of reconstruction!"
At this point, Gawain was no longer chatting with Kizaru, but was silently throwing one giant sea fish to the shore one after another.
The same goes for Kizaru. Although he is used to seeing similar things, the more he sees them, the less he wants them to continue to get worse.
In this silent and depressing atmosphere, time continued to pass, and gradually, the shadow of a ship suddenly appeared on the distant sea!
After seeing the ship, Kizaru smiled with emotion and said.
"Gao Wensheng, your Little Black Bird arrived first as expected."
"Um."
Gawain nodded, then stopped what he was doing and looked at the Little Black Bird in the distance.
At this time, the Little Black Bird was on full fire, using wind cannons as its driving force for almost the entire journey. The whole ship seemed to be on fire, and it stopped in front of Gawain not long after.
As soon as the ship stopped, Luqi and Kalifa immediately jumped down from the deck, and then knelt heavily in front of Gawain.
"grown ups!"
The two said in unison.
Gawain waved his hand gently.
"Stop being polite and just do your work. There are too many difficulties here. Just do as much as you can.
By the way, do you have a doctor and chef on your ship?"
"There is a doctor and two cooks on board!"
Kalifa immediately responded to Gawain's words.
Hearing Kalifa's answer, Gawain nodded solemnly.
"I know, but that's right, it's useless for me to ask this kind of question.
Even if the whole crew of the Black Bird arrives together, it will be difficult to help at this time, let alone your ship!"
Having said this, Gawain finally waved his hand.
“Just do the work!”
"As you command!"
Luqi and Kalifa respectfully accepted the order, and then quickly got busy.
There are less than 400 people on the Little Black Bird, most of them are Lu Qi's subordinates, and 80 people are members of the business team led by Kalifa.
According to the plan, they were originally going to stay on Bingshan's territory and recruit more business talents from Bingshan before continuing on to Dressrosa.
But considering the current situation, what does it mean to go to Dressrosa a little late?
Soon, Lu Qi led his men into the rescue work, but unfortunately, as expected, this rescue seemed to be a drop in the bucket.
The number of rescuers in front of them could not even do simple things such as collecting the bodies of the dead and identifying the dead.
Without him, what can a few hundred people do in the face of millions of casualties?
As for Kalifa, she quickly separated from Lu Qi, and then came to Gawain's side, helping Gawain to check and fill in the gaps as she had done before as a secretary.
Gawain caught the fish, she butchered it, and then worked with the cook to cut the big fish into pieces that were barely big enough to be racked and grilled.
While working, Kalifa asked Gawain.
"Sir, is the situation in Rogge Town... very bad?"
"It's very bad. Lu Qi who rushed over should have seen it."
Gawain responded, and then tried to catch a new big fish.
But at this moment, the chef who got off the Little Black Bird suddenly shouted to Gawain.
"Wait, sir, we can't continue fishing!
Before I arrived, my lord, you had caught so many sea kings that I simply couldn’t handle them!
Today's Rogge Town is in the hot season. Once the processing speed cannot keep up, the food will soon become completely rotten!
So, sir, please suspend your fishing for now!”
"I see."
Hearing the chef's words, Gawain nodded to the chef from a distance, and then he continued to ask the chef.
"By the way, do you think these sea kings are enough to feed two million people?"
"two millions?!!"
The chef was startled. He quickly thought about it and then quickly shook his head.
"Sir, the number of these sea kings may be increased, but the problem is that we cannot rely on these things to provide food for two million people!
Putting aside the cooking speed, just distributing these things to two million people is already a difficult task for us.
Even if they were distributed to everyone, 90% of the people would only get raw meat!
The most important thing is that there are no trees that can ignite fires in Rogge Town!"
After saying that, the chef looked at Gawain anxiously, and Gawain sighed melancholy.
"The problem of fire can be solved after that boy Ace arrives.
As for the division, Lu Ming Hu Che wouldn't mind being a life-saving knife.
The key point is still the issue of distribution, hey...
In other words, in addition to the problem of distribution, there will also be problems one after another!"
After saying that, Gawain turned around and walked all the way towards Rogge Town.
Kalifa followed him quietly, and the two of them walked through the barren land around them.
While walking, Kalifa pushed up her glasses deeply, and then said to Gawain.
"Sir, since the situation has collapsed to this point, in troubled times, we should use heavy rituals!
Sir, you are not suitable to do this kind of thing, so leave these things to me and Lu Qi!
Lu Qi and I have experienced situations similar to this one many times.
Although, what we did in the past was not to appease and rescue civilians.
But we at least know how to restore order in this environment!"
"No!"
Facing Kalifa's suggestion, Gawain immediately vetoed it and waved his hand to Kalifa.
"Kalifa, I understand what you mean, as long as I am more cruel to them, they will naturally not become my trouble anymore.
But, this kind of thing shouldn't be done by me.
Even you and Lu Qi shouldn't do this kind of thing!
Because this kind of thing, in the final analysis, belongs to the category of dirty work, which is a kind of work that will make civilians resentful and then spread.
No matter you or Lu Qi, you two are basically the people closest to me and the ones most closely involved with me.
There is no difference between you guys doing this kind of thing and me doing this kind of thing!"
After the words fell, Gawain looked deeply into the distance. His pupils were flashing with a... deep light that shocked Kalifa.
Facing Kalifa's admiring gaze, Gawain continued.
"Neither I nor the World Government, our identities have credibility in this land!
At the same time, we are still facing a group of people who just lost everything!
In this environment, no matter how much I guarantee or how much help I provide them, it is impossible to make up for what they have lost.
In other words, you and I both know that no matter how gentle we are, the civilians are destined to riot in the next day or two!
There is really only one solution, but I have to wait until someone better suited to do those things comes over!"
Having said this, Gawain frowned and whispered.
"It's only at times like this that I think Spandam is still meaningful.
But even if Spandam can't make it for a while, I still have another person who can do these things.
Dover, hehe, your appearance was really timely..."
…
…
…
Another full five hours passed.
In the sunset in the sky, dozens of extremely fast lights and shadows suddenly flashed out.
Puff puff!
Accompanied by the sound of air crushing the ground, Rayleigh and his party finally arrived late.
The moment he landed, Rayleigh immediately looked around. At this moment, Gawain, Kalifa and his party were already surrounded by countless civilians.
Fortunately, the civilians did not act like a mob.
They just took the raw fish meat that they barely got in their hands and sat near the firewood pile that Gawain got after dismantling the Little Blackbird, scrambling to roast the meat.
At the same time, those people who had filled their stomachs before others surrounded Gawain and kept crying!
It would be fine if there were only one or two, but there were too many of them, and the entire area of several kilometers near Gawain was enveloped in cries.
As for the little curse mixed with the cry...
At least Gawain seemed not to hear the voices of others that contained unwillingness and hatred, and tried his best to comfort everyone he could come into contact with.
Looking at Gawain like that, Rayleigh first frowned, then he shook his head helplessly.
"We still arrived too late, Rogge Town has disappeared from the sea..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh's pupils shrank hard, and immediately, his domineering aura swept around the surroundings, causing everyone near Gawain to faint!
After everyone was unconscious, Rayleigh and his party passed through the fallen crowd and came to Gawain.
Rayleigh sat in front of Gawain and asked softly.
"The golden lion..."
"He failed, but he also succeeded!"
The tired Gawain responded succinctly, then raised his hand and pointed to the execution platform in the distance.
After seeing the corpse kneeling on the execution platform, Rayleigh was silent for a moment, and then breathed out a sigh of relief.
"Dead or not, it's a good death!
But since the Golden Lion is dead, what is the situation in Rogge Town at this time...?"
"The battle between me and the Golden Lion affected too much area. He released more than a dozen islands controlled by the fruit's ability. I can't stop!"
Gawain explained.
Hearing this, Rayleigh took a long breath, and then he grabbed Gawain's shoulders with unusual simplicity.
"Let's go, you've already helped them a lot, you can't help them any more!
From the first moment I landed, when I saw what you are doing now, I knew that your approach would never allow the people still alive here to continue to live better!"
After the words fell, Rayleigh tried his best to pull Gawain to his feet.
While pulling people, he continued.
"What you are showing to the victims now is indeed the side you should show the most. You are gentle enough and patient enough towards them. This is indeed the benevolent demeanor that people yearn for.
But the more you act like this, the victims will only recall their own pain in the face of your tenderness!
In short, I have experienced too many such scenes. For the victims at this moment, what they need is not gentle care, but tough guidance!
Even if that kind of guidance will make the victims curse, we must forcefully make demands on them and use hard work and busyness to dispel their pain and helplessness!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh took Gawain and left. In a blink of an eye, the two of them crossed the crowd and went to the middle of the officers of the Black Bird.
After finally returning to the cadres, Gawain was silent for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly.
"Haha, it doesn't matter you, Kizaru, or even Kalifa and Lucci.
Before you met me, your lives had never intersected, but without exception, you have all seen too many things like this.
At the same time, you are all full of experience in dealing with disasters like this!"
Having said this, Gawain's brows darkened slightly, and he gently clenched his fists.
"Through you, I know what is happening on this sea.
Your experience proves that disasters are constantly appearing in every corner of this ocean.
The most ridiculous thing is that this disaster is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!
But I, hehe..."
For a moment, Gawain's vision seemed to have traveled through time, as if he saw himself many years ago.
I saw him looking out and speaking softly.
“I really don’t want to know why I couldn’t help laughing from time to time when I saw everything in this world!
After all, is the world I see too small and too narrow?"
"certainly!"
The moment Gawain finished speaking, the man on the side smiled and nodded heavily.
"Sir, you have been living in Mariegioa. Don't forget that this is your first journey to sea.
Therefore, it is not your fault at all that you could not see such a tragedy!
Sir, you don't need to feel guilty at all. On the contrary, you should be proud!
Because in that narrow place of Mariejoia, you have a big heart!”
After finishing his words, Yixiao nodded solemnly to Gawain, then he looked around and gently raised his staff and sword.
"Sir, go and have a rest. Just leave this place to us.
Don’t worry, most of us know how to handle this situation!”
After saying that, he smiled and turned to look at Dover, who was looking arrogant, and saw him saying to Dover.
"Doflamingo, you know what to do next, right?"
"Fufu, only a blind man like you can't see my plan. I really know how to deal with it at this time!"
As Dover spoke, he raised his right hand. Immediately, countless lines grew on the ground around him, and those lines flew towards everyone, lightly stabbing everyone's body.
Down.
Relying on the tingling sensation, Dover successfully awakened the vast majority of people who were stunned by Rayleigh's overlord color.
At the same time, Rayleigh dragged Gawain away. He dragged Gawain directly to the beach to let Gawain avoid what happened next.
After Gawain left, Dover clapped his hands gently, and then yelled at the disgraced victims around him.
"Fufu, you trash, you all survived by luck!
It's so funny, guys who cry like you should definitely die!
Do you think you are safe, idiots? Can't you see the corpses covering this land?
Look at the stupid way you are carrying the meat in your hands, don’t you know that the more you grind here, the corpses around you will soon brew a plague that will kill you!!!”
Having said this, Dover suddenly raised his right hand, posed coquettishly, and then said disdainfully.
"Look at me clearly, you damn bastards, I am Doflamingo, Don Quixote Doflamingo!
Now, all of you, please move. Before I finish speaking, if anyone is still standing there, I will send him to sleep among those corpses for the rest of his life!
Go quickly and drag out all the corpses you can see, and then pile them together, go quickly!!!"
"Hello!!!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd interrupted Dover's words. The man was among the poor victims and said in an extremely aggrieved voice.
"Who are you? Can't you see that they are all dead? Many people in the town are dead. My mother, my father, and my children are all...?!!"
Tsk!!!
After a muffled sound, the head of the person speaking suddenly left his body, and the person's blood sprayed onto the people around him in an instant.
For a moment, even the legs of those around who witnessed death began to tremble again.
At the same time, Doflamingo stood on the execution platform and continued to shout to everyone coldly.
"Who is next? Who else wants to talk to me? Are you qualified to talk to me? Have I allowed you to talk to me? Rubbish!!!"
Tsk tsk tsk!
At this moment, at least hundreds of headless corpses spraying blood appeared in the huge crowd. As those corpses died one after another, the crowd that might have been noisy just now suddenly became completely silent!
Looking at the extremely quiet crowd, Dover smiled evilly and raised his right hand. He laughed and roared infinitely evilly.
"Have you not tasted enough blood? Those lucky people who survived by chance, do you want to challenge the limits of life?
Then come on, continue to show yourselves in front of me, and let me enjoy the taste of killing!
I……?"
"enough!!!"
Suddenly, a magnetic voice came from the crowd that made people feel reassured.
The next moment, Crocodile flew up and rushed towards Dover!
Behind him, huge amounts of yellow sand hit Dover's body like water splashed out.
Immediately afterwards, the sand directly controlled Dover!
While using yellow sand to restrict Dover's movement, Crocodile roared angrily.
"The notorious Tenyaksha, the most disgusting bastard in the Shichibukai, I really don't know how you deceived Lord Gawain and asked him to hand over the task of appeasing the victims to you!
Damn it, Lord Gawain saved these victims one by one. Every victim here is the result of your hard work. I will never allow you to destroy this place, not even anyone!!!
"
As soon as the words fell, Crocodile carried Dover with yellow sand and left. The two of them fought from the ground to the sky in a blink of an eye. While fighting, their voices could be heard!
"Sand Crocodile, get away, this is my job, only I know what they need!
They are all rubbish who can only complain to Gawain. Besides complaining, their minds are full of dirty malice!
Such a bastard actually asked Gawain, who saved them, to help them handle the ingredients, and even asked Gawain, who had just defeated the legendary pirate Golden Lion and was exhausted, to comfort them!
Look at them, they are just a bunch of shameless bastards, they all deserve to die!"
"You're the only one who deserves to die. I didn't expect that we accidentally let you kill hundreds of people in an instant!"
Amidst this sound, the two of them fought farther and farther away, until they were completely out of sight of the victims.
And as soon as they left, Shiliu chewed his cigar and came to the execution platform where the golden lion was kneeling!
Looking at the victims below who were fearful and panicked, lucky and thoughtful at the same time, Shiliu raised his hand and took off his cigar, showing a "bright" smile to all the victims.
While laughing, Shiliu said in his most solemn voice.
"That bastard Doflamingo is not worthy of the job of appeasing you.
Fortunately, the sand crocodile has driven it away.
Next, I will direct you, do you understand?"
For a moment, countless people's heads moved up and down. How could the victims who were already frightened by Dover's killing have the courage to face Shiliu's smile!
As for Xiliu, facing the gazes of the victims, he said coldly.
"I see that most of you are holding raw Neptune meat in your hands.
Hey, the Golden Lion deserves to be a legendary pirate, and a hero who has been able to compete with Roger, the Pirate King for decades!
Even if you try your best, you can barely survive in the end. He really couldn't protect Rogge Town. The golden lion is too strong!!!"
Having said this, Xi Liu raised his hand to pick up the headless body of the golden lion, and then he tore it apart with both hands!
Suddenly, the golden lion's body was torn in half by him.
At this moment, Shiliu let out a long breath. He had been longing for this action for too long!
Once upon a time, it was the bastard Golden Lion who broke the iron law that no one had ever escaped from Impel Down City, causing every jailer in Impel Down City, including him, Xiliu, to lose their proud past!!!
While thinking about it, Xiliu threw the golden lion's body to the audience, and saw him continuing to shout to the victims below.
"This bastard Golden Lion has already received his retribution, and you, I will not be as cruel to you as Tianyaksha is to you!
Let's do this. I'll help you roast the raw meat in your hands first, so that you can have a full meal quickly.
After you are full, I will take you to clean up the corpses piled up on the island, so as not to cause a plague and let us all die here!!!"
At this point, with the efforts of Doflamingo, Crocodile and Shiliu, the victims restored order in the blink of an eye.
They even stood in a row and walked in front of the big flame ring released by Ace, using the sun-like fireball to quickly roast the meat in their hands.
Immediately afterwards, they started working with different ideas, although they didn't understand why they, who were already suffering to the extreme, still had to work even though someone else was in charge, and they still did the same work.
Clean up the body….
In short, it's just a simple strategy, using both kindness and power.
After Dover hit his head with a big stick, Shiliu briefly comforted him with cooked sweet dates.
This group of people who just lost everything today have finally taken a solid step towards their future life!
…
At the same time, at the edge of the beach, Rayleigh and Gawain found a slightly flat place to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, Riley stretched and smiled.
"My waist has become more and more serious recently. After a day of floating, the upper half of my butt hurts terribly. It seems that after I get back, I need to find Kurokas for a good massage."
"Well……."
Hearing what Rayleigh said, Gawain was really shocked. He thought Rayleigh would talk to him about something related to the disaster.
On the side, seeing Gawain's stunned look, Rayleigh chuckled and continued.
"What are you thinking about, Captain, if you are thinking about today's events, I can only tell you not to take it to heart.
We will encounter too many similar things in the future, especially when we gain more and more territory, we will face today's situation again and again!"
Having said this, Rayleigh took out two cigarettes and gave one to Gawain.
While lighting the smoke, Rayleigh continued.
“A place like Rogge Town where there are no strong people to guard it, once it is attacked by a strong person, the only result will be destruction.
As for the trouble just now, well, if they all died together with the island, it wouldn't be as difficult as it is now.
Famine, haha, the people affected by the disaster are certainly miserable, but they are also worthy of pity.
But you have to know that most people who live in disasters can no longer be called human beings.
Little Gawain, you must have never seen a scene of people eating people, let alone a scene of a father eating a child, right?"
Rayleigh was seen taking a deep drag on the cigarette, and then he casually threw the cigarette that he had only taken one puff into the sea.
"Stop talking about that, let's go fishing. Apart from fishing, we have nothing else to do.
Today, there is no wood, no large stones, no food, no doctors and no medicine on this island.
Under such circumstances, no matter how hard we, a dozen cadres and hundreds of soldiers on the Black Bird, try, they will not be more effective than forcing millions of disaster victims to take spontaneous action.
No one can help them, the only one who can help them is themselves.
In short, just forget about it, the labor pain period will be over in less than three days, and when this place is gradually rebuilt, not only us, but also they themselves will forget what happened today.
Hey, this is the sea, and this is also the reason why I chose to go to sea again.
If I may, little Gawain.
Let’s work together to reduce the occurrence of things like today.”
"certainly."
Gawain said without looking back, then he took a puff of cigarette and watched the smoke rising higher and higher from a distance.
…
…
…
Eleven days later, Rogge Town
Around nine o'clock in the morning, the victims who were working hard to catch fish near the dock saw the arrival of the Blackbird.
For a moment, the victims came to Gawain in great shock and told him the news of the approaching Black Bird.
Looking at the victims who were disgraced but still had a lot of food to eat, Gawain smiled and nodded, and then said with everyone's expectant eyes.
"Following the support from the navy, we successfully waited until the second batch of support arrived!
Compared with the sixty-two warships that arrived with the navy, the supplies on board the Blackbird were even more abundant!
The most important thing is that there is a forest on the Black Bird, and I am willing to cut down all the trees to build temporary shelters for everyone!
Starting today, everyone can live in a house with roofs again!!"
After the words fell, Gao Wen waited quietly for a moment, and suddenly, violent cheers filled his ears!
Amidst the cheers that suddenly improved, Gawain and others stood at the beach waiting for the Black Bird to approach.
After a long wait, the Blackbird finally arrived at the shore. Shirahoshi flew out of the ship in an instant, and Luffy quickly used his ability to swing to the island.
Looking at the crowded crowd around him, Luffy desperately searched for something. After searching for a long time, Luffy finally asked Gawain in confusion.
"Uncle, haha, long time no see. Is this the famous Rogge Town?
But, why didn’t I see the execution platform?”
"Well……."
Hearing Luffy's question, Gawain shook his head helplessly. The execution platform had been demolished by the victims as early as the third day. On this island that had completely turned into a wasteland, how could people still be in the mood to keep the execution platform.
Wouldn't it be good to use it as firewood or make it into wooden shoe soles?
So, facing Luffy's expectant eyes, Gawain said regretfully.
"The execution platform has been destroyed."
"Why?!!"
Hearing this, Luffy's eyes widened in disappointment, and he made a face with regret.
Immediately afterwards, Luffy forgot about the execution platform in the blink of an eye and continued to look for Ace and Sabo.
When he saw Sabo who was tearing fish meat with his dragon claw hands to dry the dried meat.
After Ace is distilling seawater and boiling a super giant fish pond (soup).
Luffy immediately abandoned Gawain and ran over to mingle with his brothers.
As soon as Luffy left, Gion took the whole crew of the Black Bird to carry down the wood and seasonings that had been processed.
During these days on the road, Gawain had already arranged their respective tasks for them through the phone bug.
There is no shortage of pure food in Rogge Town. As long as you have the ability to capture sea kings, there will be an endless supply of food on the sea.
Therefore, what the victims need most is seasoning.
After instructing her men to distribute the seasonings, Gion came to Gawain. She helplessly approached Gawain and said.
"Sir, please go and see Hancock quickly. She seems to be sick, very sick."
After saying that, Gion couldn't help but rolled his eyes. In the days since Gawain left, Hancock's whole person collapsed.
First I lost my appetite, then I had insomnia. I hugged myself all night and couldn't sleep.
This was followed by horrific symptoms such as fever, weakness in the limbs, and unclear speech.
In short, Hancock was sick for as many days as Gawain was gone, which really broke Gion's heart.
On the side, Gawain frowned when he heard Gion's words.
"Hancock is sick?"
"Yes, according to Chopper, he has never seen this disease, but after checking medical books, he felt that this disease is a bit like a common disease in the daughter country..."
Having said this, Gion really blushed. How could there be such a shameless disease in the world?
Isn't this guy Hancock really pretending to be lovesick?
While thinking about it, Gion pushed Gawain's shoulder and motioned for Gawain to go take a look quickly.
Seeing this, Gawain nodded, hugged Gion gently again, and then he planned to go find Hancock.
But before Gawain had time to let go of Gion, Shirahoshi rushed towards Gawain fiercely.
"I want to hug you too, hehe~~~."
With a blushing smile, Shirahoshi made a plop and pressed Gawain and Gion with the soft flesh of his chest.
It took a lot of effort to calm down the missing Bai Xing, and then Gawain comforted Uta.
After taking care of the children, Gawain finally had time to deal with Hancock's problem.
After Gawain returned to the Blackbird, Uta also began to build his own stage with the help of Franky.
Both Gawain and Reilly felt that the residents of Rogge Town, who were in disaster at this moment, really needed a grand concert.
The most important thing is that in this concert, Uta may have to use his special skills!
Because even with the help of the entire crew of the Blackbird, the people in Rogge Town can't even hope to have enough food and clothing, and the only way they can recall food and wine to boost their spirits...
