Today, it has been twenty-nine days since Gawain came to this world.
He sat on the daimyo's throne, closing his eyes and feeling his heart in a meditative manner.
In the world in his mind, he was having a conversation with Kaido.
At this moment, Kaido was wailing uncontrollably.
Those chains had already penetrated into his flesh and blood, moving from his muscles toward his heart and brain.
The pain and fear that followed continued to erode Kaido's soul.
He said to Gawain with difficulty.
"Hurry up, hurry up!
Either end my pain, or...end my pain completely!!!"
That's right, when faced with the lock and obliteration of the world's will, even warriors like Kaido have tried to escape through death.
It's not that he's scared, but... it's simply too painful!
Feeling Kaido's pain, Gawain thought for a long time.
Things are getting better day by day, and his plan is gradually unfolding. As long as he gives himself another half month, he will not only be able to secure the supreme power of the Fire Country, but he can even control the Fire Country to advance a little, and first control the nearby areas.
The nation gathers under the power of fire!
Relying on such behavior, he has set the map of the ninja world on fire, and has a territory on this map that is even larger than the pirate world!
As for Gawain’s plan….
While focusing on controlling the ninja world, Gawain boldly made a conjecture!
That is, if you unify the world in advance in the ninja world and let the world form a unified situation.
So, is it possible for him to completely open the door from the ninja world in reverse?
If he can, he will open up the connection between the ninja world and the pirate world in advance, and then lead Kaguya Otsutsuki and Hagoromo Hamura to have the final battle in the pirate world in advance.
For an existence like Kaguya Otsutsuki, even if she were not the opponent of the deeply hidden Im, Kaguya would not be able to completely lose!
Because there is no sealing technique in the pirate world!
This is Gawain's plan, a big plan to open the door to the world in reverse!
But the crux of the matter is...
I don’t have time anymore!
Kaido is on the verge of reaching his limit...
I can indeed control Kaido to squeeze out the last drop of his soul and let him unleash his full potential to give himself more time.
But can I do that myself?
Once you indulge your own bottom line, that bottom line no longer exists.
Gawain knew this very well, so he was silent for a long time and finally said to Kaido.
"Kaido, I feel your pain, so I will leave this world as soon as possible and end my exploration of the new world.
I have basically mastered the new power system that you hope can improve our strength. After I return, I can give you everything you hope for.
But before I leave, I still need some time to explain as many things as I can.
Plus, I still have everything to take care of.
Please give me two days at the end, the last two days!
I want to say goodbye to the important people in the new world, and leave something in advance that will be more convenient for my next exploration!"
After saying that, Gawain looked at Kaido worriedly.
Facing Gawain's gaze, Kaido groaned, then nodded heavily.
"Two days is not my limit, I can still..., I can still hold on for at least a week!
After a week, I'm afraid my sanity will no longer exist and my figurines will be completely shattered!
That’s fine, that’s fine!
All decisions are left to you, let you decide my fate, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, Kaido gave up the conversation with Gawain and instead made his last effort to resist the torture of the world's will.
Seeing Kaido doing his best, Gawain bowed apologetically, and then left the spiritual world.
Sitting on the daimyo's seat, Gao Wen sighed leisurely.
Not enough time!
If destroying Kaido's soul can buy him at least two years, then it is really possible for him to do it.
Kaido's sacrifice alone resulted in the complete unification of the two worlds.
Gao Wenzhen may not be able to withstand the temptation of this kind of thing.
But even if Kaido sacrifices, the time gained cannot exceed half a month.
In half a month, even if Gawain and Otsutsuki acted separately, they would kill all the nobles in the world.
Their officials did not have time to rush to all countries and influence the national affairs of those countries.
In short, the plan can only be put here first. Gawain has decided to end his first journey.
Although Kaido can still survive for about a week, since time is never enough, there is no need for him to let Kaido endure more torture.
Leaving early and leaving late is all about walking. Maybe if you leave early, Kaido will recover faster.
Although I don’t know how long it will take before the next trip, no matter how long the interval is, there is nothing wrong with allowing Kaido to recover as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Gawain picked up the charcoal pen and wrote some words carefully.
He left some letters home to Hagoromo and Hamura that focused on teaching.
He was about to leave and didn't know how long he would be gone.
So he had to make some preparations in advance to prevent him from leaving for too long and causing the world to return to the situation in the future.
If he comes here next time, Kaguya will still be sealed.
Then he would lose the greatest help.
As for the two sons at that time.
They both dared to seal his mother. Maybe as soon as his father showed up, his two sons would also seal him.
In short, after writing his family letter, Gawain left it on his desk.
He himself took steps and soon appeared next to Kaguya, who was studying chakra control.
Feeling Gawain's approach, Kaguya looked back and immediately frowned.
"Qinglong, you don't look very happy. You look like you are about to die."
"Ha, you mean, I look a little depressed, right?"
Gawain patted Kaguya's shoulder angrily, then he leaned next to Kaguya and sat down quietly.
He casually hugged Kaguya's waist, and while making Kaguya twist twice slightly in discomfort, Gawain said to the point.
"Kaguya, I'm afraid I have to leave for a while!"
"Well, I understand. Don't worry, I will take good care of our plan."
Kaguya didn't think there was anything strange, it wasn't the first time Gawain left.
In recent days, Gawain often went there for two or three days, supposedly looking for the lairs of toads and snakes.
Although I don’t know why Gawain is particularly interested in toads, snakes and snails.
Wait, that one doesn’t seem to be called a snail, but a slug.
In short, no matter why Gawain is interested, Kaguya himself does not want to get involved or participate.
Although they formed a family, Kaguya didn't understand what concern was at all, let alone worry.
On the side, listening to Kaguya's heartless words, Gawain smiled in relief.
"Fortunately, your character never makes me worry, and my departure will not make you sad.
In this case, I will look for the toad for the last two days. If I can't find it, I will leave this planet directly.
You know, there is no such creature as a dragon on this planet, and my hometown is not on this planet either.
Now, something happened in my hometown that needs me, but don't worry, I will come back as soon as possible after I take care of it.
After all, we still have you and our son here."
Speaking of this, Gawain gently hugged Kaguya and wanted to let Kaguya lean on his shoulder.
He and this woman have only known each other for a short time, but they did have a child, and Gawain really likes Kaguya's kind of... little desire and care for him.
How to describe that feeling.
It's like there is a girl who seems very indifferent, but she lightly likes you.
Every man will not refuse this feeling.
It's just that this light-hearted woman is not very happy now.
Kaguya frowned and said with undisguised dissatisfaction.
"Wait a minute, when you said leaving just now, you didn't mean leaving to find Toad.
But...are you going to look for the toad and then leave completely?"
Speaking of this, there was a trace of hesitation in Kaguya's eyes.
"If you leave like this, will you come back?
Have you mastered my chakra and stopped wasting your time on me?
In the past few days, I have read some indigenous books.
Men always seem to be like this to women. Once they get it, they don’t need to cherish it anymore?
Are you also..."
“I haven’t gotten it yet!!!”
Gawain interrupted Kaguya's words angrily, and he casually grabbed Kaguya's chin.
"You guy, if I ask you to learn chakra manipulation, you can't even release a huge fire ball.
You can't learn the Substitution Technique either, and you will always only know what you see in your eyes.
If you are asked to study, you will not learn, but you will be very serious about reading miscellaneous books!
Don't look at those messy things, you and I are not human beings, and we don't have to live like human beings!"
After emphasizing, Gawain let go of Kaguya and picked up a bottle of wine.
After taking a few sips, Gawain gave the wine bottle to Kaguya.
"Drink a little, I'm about to leave, so just treat me as a farewell.
Don't worry, I'll be back soon.
I have made preliminary calculations. If I go back this time, I can come back in a few months.
If it doesn’t go well, maybe... at the slowest, it should take about twenty or thirty years!"
When he said this, Gawain was constantly judging the time of his return.
If Kaido is fully trained, he can continue exploring immediately.
It will probably take a few months at most to come back.
And if you can only explore it once, that's okay. In a few decades at most, when you completely unify the pirate world, you can completely open the door to the world.
So it would only be a few decades at the latest, just a few decades. At that time, even Hagoromo and Hamura would probably not be old yet.
There is no way they can live for a hundred or two hundred years. As long as they don't die, even if Kaguya is still sealed by them, he can lead his men to unseal Kaguya.
The only question is, what if you fail to unify the pirate world and die or are defeated in the water of the pirate world?
After all, Gawain has never seen the ending of One Piece.
How deep is the water in the pirate world?
no one knows.
However, Gawain would not say this to Kaguya, so he showed a confident smile to Kaguya and continued.
"It will only be a few decades at the latest. I will definitely return to this planet and continue the unfinished business of the two of us.
I promised you that I would help you fight against the Otsutsuki clan.
And I will never go back on my word!”
After speaking, Gawain looked at Kaguya seriously, and Kaguya nodded helplessly after a brief hesitation.
While nodding, Kaguya couldn't help but pull Gawain's sleeve.
She pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
But she finally said it, it was not her character to hide her words.
I saw her lowering her eyes unhappily, pausing slightly and speaking intermittently.
"These days...especially the days after I met you.
I felt...peace and joy that I had never felt before.
I am no longer alone, I have your help and support, which makes me feel more at ease.
At the same time, watching Hagoromo and Hamura continue to grow, watching them surround you and me calling mom and dad.
I also feel the joy and expectation of being a parent.
I don't want to jump out of this feeling, I don't want you to leave, I am somewhat satisfied with everything now.
But I won't stop you from returning to your hometown, because if I have the chance, I also want to go home and visit.
I will never do anything to make myself unhappy, but I have to admit that it is difficult for me to be happy regardless of whether you are allowed to leave or not.
Without you, the children would have no father, and I would feel anxious because of loneliness.
If I keep you, you will definitely not be happy, and we may not be the same as before.
Thinking about it this way, I feel even more unhappy!
I don't want to be alone!
So, why don't we think of a better way?
You told me that discussion is necessary. The entanglement of multiple ideas will produce sparks that are far brighter than one idea.
So I'm going to give you my opinion!
I plan to leave with you, and we will take our sons with us!
Go back to your hometown first, and I will help you solve the troubles you encounter in your hometown in return for your help to me.
After that, we will come back together. In this way, I will be happy because of you, Qinglong.
What do you think of my suggestion? Will you take me with you?
I'm waiting for your answer, Qinglong."
After the words fell, Kaguya looked at Gawain with his usual indifferent expression.
It's just inevitable that although her expression is indifferent, her eyes are a little timid and a little... worried.
Facing such a look, Gawain took a deep breath.
Kaguya needs herself more than she thinks.
If I could stay...
No, people in the pirate world need themselves more!
Their great cause has just begun, they need their guidance, and even more need their protection, and they still owe them a future!
As for Kaguya, no one can hurt her without her, she is immortal!
What's more, I will come back!
Moreover, I had to leave!
With this thought in mind, Gawain firmly grasped Kaguya's wrist.
I saw him pretending to smile and then spoke with difficulty.
"I can't take you with me because the way I'm going home, I can't take another person with me.
So I'm sorry, but it seems you need to miss me for a while longer.
But I promise you, I will come back as quickly as possible.
Don’t worry, Kaguya, maybe if you get some sleep, I will come back to you..."
Just like that, two days later.
Gawain's search for the toad failed, and he left this world in front of Kaguya and his sons.
Hagoromo and Hamura cried as they watched Gawain disappear into their own world like a falling meteor.
