Listening to Shanks' words, Gawain was thoughtful.
What Shanks said does make sense, at least after learning about the true power of the Five Old Stars and what the Knights of God and the Celestial Dragon Family are hiding.
Gawain had to admit that if he did not exist in this world, it would be impossible for Luffy, the pirate king of the sea, to continue his solo life in the later stages of the plot.
Luffy and his team alone would never be able to defeat MarieJoia like this no matter what.
So in the end, there was no doubt.
One Piece still has to return to its own theme.
I am afraid that in the future of the original plot, the pirate forces will gather around Luffy for various inexplicable reasons. At the same time, they will merge with a series of forces such as Wano Country and the Revolutionary Army, and embark on the real path.
Overturn Mary Joa's road.
Just like towards the end of One Piece's plot, Luffy fought more and more team battles. Even if it became a key battle for the new Yonko, it was Luffy, Kidd and Law who fought together.
If I didn't have myself, the world of One Piece would really become a world where pirates shine brightly.
After all, this is the world of One Piece!
However, all kinds of speculations and futures are based on the premise.
No Gawain!
Without him, even a guy like Kidd who wastes human life and frequently massacres, burns, kills, and loots can rely on binding Luffy, clear his name in a blink of an eye, and gain the appreciation and sympathy of countless fans!
Without him, maybe even Blackbeard Teach would be whitewashed into a future teammate of Luffy's attack on Mary Joa because of his D status!
As for the so-called hatred between Luffy and Teach?
Although it was Teach who sent Ace to prison, Ace had already escaped, and it was Sakaski who killed Ace!
If there is no self in this world, then fans would rather accept Blackbeard, a real villain with no humanity, than accept Sakaski, an absolutely outstanding soldier who can be called an extreme star in any era.
!
Without oneself, this world may, after a series of plots, lead to the defeat of Im and the overthrow of the world government, and then usher in a new era of flourishing flowers!
But does such an era really exist?
Or it could be said to rely on a group of pirates and a group of fearless revolutionary troops, or it could be a country like Wano... ruled by a mature seven-year-old child.
Unless it's a fairy tale, otherwise...
Do they really have the qualifications and ability to decide the future of the ocean and the tens of billions of lives in this world!!!
Thinking of this, Gawain bit his teeth and then said to Shanks word by word.
"Roger's influence on you...is really profound!
So much so that a rational guy like you actually believes that pirates can bring a better future!
In every ten of your sentences, there will always be a few that emphasize pirates as strength.
But why don't you think about it carefully.
If only one person has strength, and that person is willing to be our strength at the critical moment.
If the crimes this person committed in the past can be forgiven by us...
Would such a world be more reasonable than today's world?"
Having said this, Gawain casually hung the wine gourd that Shanks had given him back to him on his waist.
After fastening the laces, Gawain raised his head again and shook Shanks gently.
"The reason why I don't want to see pirates as a usable force right now.
Precisely because... I don't want people who don't deserve it to get any chance to make contributions to the new era!
If one day I succeed, then even Doflamingo will not want to continue "living" in "this" world!
I remember the crimes my men have committed, and I am always ready to liquidate them!
I plan to treat even my own men like this, let alone...the pirates who have always had sin by their side!
Once those people I want to clean up have considerable credit in my process of clarifying the world.
Tsk tsk, even for me, cleaning up the heroes involves taking a lot of risks.
It's already troublesome enough just to deal with the criminals on my own ship, but you also want to put a whole bunch of extremely vicious guys in front of the future heroes!
Shanks, I really don't know if you really don't care about that.
Or are you really that stupidly proud!
You are not stupid, you are smart.
Therefore, although you have always maintained a series of righteous persona such as not disturbing the people and not robbing the people.
But in fact, the Celestial Dragon blood in your bones has always affected you!
You seem kind!
But you... have never loved thousands of common people in this world...
In other words, your love for the common people all over the world is just your own inability to do harm.
And besides not doing harm, you can't do anything, let alone do it."
Having said this, Gawain raised his hand and pushed Shanks' wings aside.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the first wine gourd that returned to his hand and waved it slightly to Shanks.
"The agreement you and I made has now been fulfilled.
Then as promised, put down the dynamite rock you took away.
That thing is indeed a threat to 99% of people at sea, but it is far from a threat to you and me.
After all, you and I both know that if you really want to use explosive rocks to bombard the Red Earth Continent, you will probably have to face the Knights of God.
So, let everyone have a good fight. The navy will be sharpened in this battle, and the pirates will also find a little sense of unity through this battle.
If you want to use pirates as a force to attack Mariejoia, then this unity is suitable for them.
With the foundation laid today, it will be easier for you to call on pirates in the future.
At the same time, your request is that if the pirates fail, then I cannot hunt down the existing pirates on a large scale.
Shanks, don’t forget my purpose. My purpose is to perfectly control the Grand Line, not to eradicate the pirates today!
No one will hunt you down. I only need your failure to suppress the young people around the world who are ready to take action.
After your failure, the young people from all over the world who have no chance to become pirates may suffer for a while.
But I know they won't suffer for long, because my world and I will continue to expand as the sea train continues to be laid.
What I want now is the Grand Line, because everything I have only allows me to control the Grand Line.
I will want more in the future because then I will have more.
That makes sense, doesn't it?"
As he spoke, Gawain put the wine bottle back on himself and raised his hand to pat Shanks on the shoulder.
Feeling Gawain's movements, Shanks raised his head uncomfortably.
"When I went to find my daughter before, you were not as tall as you are now.
For a short time, I have to look up to you, Gawain."
After teasing, Shanks put his hand on his scabbard and nodded coolly.
"In short, our agreement has been reached.
So, let's each rely on our abilities in this battle.
But in fact, I have lost, because I failed to convince you, but you were finally convinced.
Gawain, you guy......
Oh, if only you had appeared ten years earlier!
In that case, maybe after I steal the Nika fruit, I will send that fruit to you.
Who said that you, this guy, really looks countless times more dependable than fate and the child I chose?
A not-so-happy leader, and a happy child.
Haha, the choice of fate is always so interesting and always so difficult to choose.
Because I know that even if you succeed, the world you bring will definitely not be as happy as that child.
But it doesn't matter whether you are happy or not, the child will always see only bad people and good people.
And you, in your eyes are more ordinary people, mortals, weak and humble people.
I just hope you have a way to deal with the outstanding ones in the future.
Who said that every outstanding person would instinctively ask for more?
Even their demands are justified.
That kind of request is not easy to deal with, and you... I can't figure it out.
How exactly do you plan to arrange them?
Today there are countless enemies, and the strong are the indispensable chess pieces and tools for you and me.
And tomorrow without enemies, the strong will become our enemies and troubles.
What a peaceful world lacks is managers with moderate abilities, no ambitions, and preferably those who are willing to strictly abide by rules and laws.
Only in times of war will we need combat power.
But genius does not disappear with the passage of time.
A lot of history has moved step by step into a strange cycle of continuous cycles and reincarnations, isn't it because...if ordinary people live too well, then the interests of geniuses cannot be guaranteed.
And once a genius has a bad life...
Then chaos will arise.
Forget it, forget it, I'm not you, I don't have the ability to see such a distant future.
As for you saying you have seen more than me.
Then come on, Gao Wen, I hope we still have a chance to cooperate.
As for the other two wine bottles and the agreement we have left.
Ha ha!
Leave those things in the future, when you or I have to face the Knights of God and Im in person!
If that day comes, I think...
No matter who fate leads to you or me, the remaining loser will not be stingy in providing some help to the other party!
So, go back, that’s it for today, and I’ll see you someday.”
"Well, see you tomorrow."
Gawain nodded slightly, and then his eyes moved.
As his vision changed, the black hole that appeared in front of him swallowed him up in an instant, and then he returned to the chaotic battlefield.
At the same time, wherever there is wind, griffons follow them.
Shanks, who had returned, pulled out the Griffin, and in a blink of an eye, he forced back Sakaski who took the opportunity to oppress Big Mom, thus liberating a top-level combat force for the pirate camp.
As for Sakaski and Big Mom….
Although Sakaski is indeed a little stronger than Big Mom, Sakaski shouldn't have beaten Big Mom so quickly.
It's true... the gift Gawain prepared for the pirates before he left had to distract Big Mom!
Don't forget, when Gawain left, he wanted to continue to control the situation on the battlefield.
He left a heaven-impeding earthquake star on the battlefield!
What is the Tianzhi Zhenxing? The principle of that thing is basically similar to Yixiao's summoned meteorite.
But the meteorites summoned by Yixiao always just pull two meteorites randomly from the asteroid belt.
And Tianzhen Zhenxing...
It wouldn't be surprising if this thing pulled the moon down!
Compared with the meteorite summoned by Yixiao, the Tianzhu Zhenxing was so huge that the pirates tried their best to avoid the meteorite from hitting Houhai, which is where the pirate fleet behind them was.
ending.
Whitebeard, who was bleeding from his mouth and nose, continued to press himself, and smashed the meteorite twice with all his strength.
Even a series of pirate monsters such as Big Mom and Wang Zhi stood up to their opponents and used several skills that took a lot of physical strength to completely defeat the Tianzhen Zhenxing that was divided into several large pieces by Whitebeard.
Into pieces that won't do much damage.
It's just a step difference between monsters!
If they were distracted even a little bit, Auntie, Wang Zhi and others would be chased and beaten by their opponents!
Shanks also thought of this, so the first thing he did when he came back was to forcefully participate in countless battlefields to regain an evenly matched situation for his own monsters!
And Gawain…….
After returning to the battlefield, he took a closer look at the layout of the battlefield.
Hey, I just walked for a short time, and it seems that the shape of the battlefield has been fixed.
The number of strong men on our side is nearly 50% greater than that of the opponent. Therefore, many strong pirates can receive the top treatment of having a monster as the main attack and a Shichibukai-level man standing beside them.
In addition, after Shanks came back, he did not continue fighting with himself, but went to the battlefield and became a fire captain.
As a result... As a result, after I came back, I didn't have any suitable opponents!
Seeing this, Gao Wen sighed leisurely.
Anyway, I have already made an agreement with Shanks about this battle, so... let's just think of it as a big training session before facing Marie Joa!
You don't necessarily need a rival.
even…….
Perhaps without an opponent, you can better demonstrate your oppressive power over pirates in front of a global audience!
Thinking this, Gawain turned his head and looked at the location of the camera phone bug.
Stussy is also a very powerful girl. She is currently flapping her bat wings, cruising around the edge of the battlefield, and taking relatively wonderful pictures!
Of course, the people who were taken care of by Stussy were all strong and powerful people.
What the audience saw the most at this time was undoubtedly the battle between Garp, who was talking about being a teenager, and Whitebeard, who was destined to be a pirate!
Looking at the live broadcast, Whitebeard continued to resist Garp while bleeding from all his orifices.
Countless navy fans all over the world exploded!
"Ahhh!"
"Lieutenant General Garp is so strong!"
"Why is it that Whitebeard, who cannot even defeat General Sakaski, is no match for Lieutenant General Garp!"
"As expected of a naval hero!"
Of course, Navy and Garp have fans, so Whitebeard naturally has more fans.
When others praised Garp, someone immediately stood up to support Whitebeard.
"You fart, while Whitebeard was fighting Garp, he also stood up against Gawain!"
"Yes, if we didn't have to fight against the previous clock and the subsequent super meteorite.
That Whitebeard will definitely beat old thief Garp to death!"
"Yes, although Mr. Garp is strong, Whitebeard is obviously stronger!
If there was a being like Gawain among the pirates, then Garp, who was constantly resisting external attacks, would definitely be beaten by the opponent just like Whitebeard now!!!"
