Peace Island, Cocoyasi Village, where the expeditionary force headquarters is located.
When Kizaru arrived here on Garp's warship, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates had already been here for a day.
At this time, the two pirate groups, hosted by Hashirama, were having a lively banquet.
The pirates gathered in twos and threes around the burning bonfire, drinking, dancing and bragging.
Hashirama and several pirates were playing a guessing game with dice. Judging from the pile of banknotes in front of the pirates, Hashirama's luck was as bad as ever.
Outside the lively crowd, Whitebeard and Shanks sat opposite each other, drinking.
The two talked a lot about the war on top and Kizaru.
The voyage along the way allowed them to see the excellent grassroots management capabilities of the Kingdom of Light. The Kingdom of Light occupied a large area of the East China Sea in a very short period of time, was able to maintain order in various island towns, and could also fight against roving pirates. Such
Efficient, a miracle.
"The Kingdom of Light led by Kizaru may reshape the order of this sea." Shanks concluded after finishing his drink.
Whitebeard picked up the wine glass in his hand, which was larger than the basin, drank the sake in one gulp, and then let out a heroic laugh.
"Of course, Kizaru is a hero of the sea that I recognize! That guy's ambition is higher than the entire sea."
"Oh ho ho! The ambition is too much. I'm just an ordinary social activist."
Kizaru let out his signature laugh and walked up.
Hearing the sound, Whitebeard and Shanks looked at Kizaru. Whitebeard said with a somewhat grateful tone: "My silly sons were able to evacuate smoothly because of your help. I, Whitebeard, will remember you."
Kindness, Kizaru."
Shanks looked at Kizaru with a smile and said with praise: "The speech you gave at the Navy Headquarters was quite wonderful."
Kizaru walked to sit next to the two of them, picked up the unopened wine next to him, pulled out the cork, picked up the bottle and drank.
After taking a sip, Kizaru took out a cigar, threw one to Shanks and Whitebeard, and then lit it in his hand.
After slowly exhaling the smoke from his mouth, Kizaru said: "You two, what do you think of the governance of the Kingdom of Light?"
"You are doing better than the navy and the noble officials of the kingdom." Shanks has been to the East China Sea several times before, and he has the most direct experience of the changes in the East China Sea.
Apart from anything else, just the fact that the civilians on the island were able to return to normal life in a very short time without any worry at all proved the Kingdom of Light's ability to govern at the grassroots level.
"Hahaha! Your soldiers are the first ones I have met who dare to warn the Four Emperors not to break the law. For this reason alone, they are more than the cowards of those participating countries." Whitebeard has never seen the Donghai before, but he
I have seen too many dirty things from franchise countries and navies.
Kizaru smiled and continued: "I think you must be curious about how we managed to create a systematic military and government management personnel out of thin air in such a short period of time."
Hearing this question, Whitebeard and Shanks both looked at Kizaru curiously. They were really curious about how Kizaru did it.
With so many manpower and a large number of powerful ninjas, these personnel seemed to appear out of thin air on the sea.
Kizaru took a puff of his cigar, with a calm smile on his face, and said slowly: "Because, before this, I had already established a country, a huge country that is completely independent of this sea."
Kizaru's words surprised both Whitebeard and Shanks, especially Shanks, the Yonko who likes to run around and has been to almost every corner of the sea.
But in his previous voyages, he had never encountered a country with a similar appearance and temperament to Kizaru's troops.
"Do you want to go and see it? Go and see the prosperous country that I built with my own hands. My speech at the Navy Headquarters was not an exaggeration. I have already implemented it in my own country." Kizaru sent out.
invite.
"Hahaha! Of course I want to see such an interesting thing." Whitebeard laughed and agreed without any hesitation.
"Sounds quite interesting, we won't miss it." Shanks agreed, his eyes full of curiosity.
"You won't be disappointed there, but today, let's have fun!" After finishing speaking, Kizaru raised the wine bottle in his hand.
After the three of them bumped into each other, they drank all their drinks, then looked at each other and laughed heartily.
"It's too much to not notify me in such a lively occasion, Kizaru." Garp's voice came from far away. He put on casual clothes and flip-flops while eating senbei.
, while walking forward.
With the appearance of Garp, Whitebeard's smile faded slightly, and he turned his head to look at Garp who was walking towards him, "Garp, you old guy, are you ready to leave the Navy?"
"Hahaha, this old guy like me has taken a back seat and started to take care of himself." After Garp finished eating the senbei, he sat down next to Whitebeard and picked up the bottle of wine that Whitebeard had not yet finished.
, and drank heavily.
Shanks smiled and looked at Garp who was sitting down. After clinking wine with Kizaru, he continued to pick up the glass and started drinking.
Garp drank all the wine in the bottle and placed it heavily on the ground. He looked at Whitebeard and Kizaru, his expression becoming serious.
"This time, I would like to express my gratitude to you not as a marine, but as Grandpa Ace. Thank you for rescuing Ace."
After saying that, Garp laughed to himself. He touched the back of his head and said mockingly: "If Warring States hears it, he will scold me again, hahaha!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Ace is my son! As long as I am alive, no one is allowed to hurt my Whitebeard's child!" Whitebeard said very seriously. Even though he was suffering from illness, he still looked as good as when he was young.
heroic demeanor.
"Everyone, there is no origin or position here. You are all guests of the Kingdom of Light today! You are all my friends, Kizaru!" Kizaru raised his wine glass.
The atmosphere at the scene became joyful again. The four people drank extremely well, and soon they were surrounded by empty wine bottles.
At the end of the drink, Garp and Whitebeard, a sailor and a pirate, were directly next to each other with their arms around their shoulders, laughing and drinking together.
The pirates who were drinking and dancing around the bonfire also gradually noticed the four people sitting on the periphery, watching a naval hero, two pirate Yonko, and the number one enemy of the world government, drinking and eating meat while talking and laughing.
, they couldn’t help but feel a bit magical.
Ace was also at the banquet. He was eating meat and chatting with his crew members inside near the bonfire. After being reminded by other pirates, he noticed that his grandfather had also arrived here.
He didn't take the initiative to say hello, he just looked at the grandpa who appeared and smiled.
