I am a Celestial Dragon!

Lying on his back for a moment, feeling the hot water, Gawain breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head and glanced at Whitebeard.

"How does it feel? Being able to take a dip in such a hot spring after the battle will make your and my life's struggle in vain, right?"

"Glala lala, Gawain, you are still so young, why do you always say what our old man says!"

Whitebeard stretched his feet a little, and then he continued with a smile.

"As for a lifetime of struggle, don't say that, I have never struggled in my life!

In this life, I just follow the crowd, the so-called number one in the world, the so-called pirate emperor.

Blah blah blah, don’t I understand how it is possible for pirates to have an emperor! "

Having said this, Whitebeard closed his eyes and briefly soaked his head in the water.

After a moment, he sat up with his beard hanging down.

“However, this hot spring is really comfortable!

If you are not a Celestial Dragon, but a pirate like me, then I will definitely invite you to be my brother!

In that case, blah blah blah, I can enjoy hot springs like this every day! "

"Ha ha!"

When Whitebeard finished speaking, Gawain immediately laughed with Whitebeard, and he said while laughing.

"Fortunately you didn't say you wanted to adopt me as your son, otherwise I would have been really angry.

However, Whitebeard, what you actually enjoy more is the free hot spring, right? "

"Call me Newgate, why bother talking about so-called nicknames?

The old man, Edward Newgate, never changes his name in office, and never changes his surname in office.

As for the free stuff you mentioned….

Gawain, you are right, I love all free sports!

So have you found out my secret? ! ! "

Whitebeard's voice suddenly changed, and he showed a fierce look. Facing the seemingly fierce Whitebeard, Gawain just lay in the hot spring and closed his eyes.

"What can't be found...?"

As he spoke, Gawain went to the side and took out a cigarette. After lighting it, he exhaled the smoke and said.

“You are obviously doing something kind, so why worry about me knowing.

Or do you think that I will threaten you with the island of lawlessness that you have guarded for a long time? That is the paradise now?

No, that's not my style. Others can use secret means to deal with me, and some of my occasional subordinates can also use that means to deal with others in turn.

But you should be able to understand that I can't do that, I can't even think that way. "

"yes……."

Whitebeard nodded leisurely.

"The leader is the soul of the team. Your will and choice will also determine the direction of you and your entire force, Gawain.

As the one sitting tallest, whether you or I, we can't always avoid bad things happening.

But as long as our hearts and eyes stand high enough, no matter how wrong things are, we can bring about the right results!

But if we are going in the wrong direction, no matter how hard the navigator tries, he cannot correct our ship! "

Having said this, Whitebeard looked at Gawain with admiration.

"After I learned that your flag replaced my flag on Fish-Man Island, I was really worried that you had harmed it.

But after I knew what you had done, I felt relieved.

How can someone who is willing to deliver the dream that Fish-Man Island has pursued for hundreds of years into their hands be my enemy, haha!

How about it, Gawain, I have also investigated your information.

So you investigate my matter and offset it, how about that? "

"Of course it offsets it, otherwise would we both have a fall in the hot spring?"

Gawain smiled and waved his hand, only to see him ask interestingly.

"Speaking of which, I can only compete with you in a place like this, right?"

"Ah, your strength..."

Listening to Gawain's self-deprecation, Whitebeard grinned.

"Don't mention your strength. You can't even beat my stupid son Teach now. He's obviously so weak that he doesn't even have a bounty on his head. Gu la la la!

So, Gawain, if you believe me, go find a fruit powerful enough, and eat it!

Don't learn from Roger Reli and the others. What if you don't use the fruit? Will it make strong men of the same strength superior to others?

And you, as Rayleigh's current captain, have that blind young man and a strong man like Gion under your command!

To be honest, even when I think about your position, I feel in danger for you! "

Whitebeard showed a reminiscing look, and he continued thinking.

“You should know that I was a man who drifted on Captain Rocks’ ship.

At that time, Rocks' men were a group of guys like us who were so powerful that all pirates trembled.

But so what, the more powerful a person is, the more determined their goal will be. I don’t know what you rely on to gather them.

But if one day, when you can no longer achieve their goals, or after you have achieved their goals...

Then with your strength, it would be too dangerous to sit in the highest position!

Rocks is already strong enough, but even so, we still fell apart back then!

Although Cap and Roger did a lot of work, I must say that the crew's own laziness and ambition accounted for a large part of the reason!

So Gawain, as soon as possible, use the fastest speed to strengthen your strength!

To my sons, I would tell them that dreams can be anything and dreams never die!

But for you and me, I have to say this.

This is an extremely realistic sea, and only strength is the basis of everything!

And only the strongest person in the world is qualified to let everyone accept his current dream and his future dream, Gawain! ! ! "

Whitebeard suddenly raised his hand, and he instinctively wanted to rub Gawain's head.

Noticing Whitebeard's movements, Gawain quickly raised his head. He stared at Whitebeard's hand and rolled his eyes.

Looking at Gawain's eyes, the white beard was slightly stunned, and he quickly put his hand in the air back into the warm water.

"Ahem, I really appreciate young people like you, haha!"

"Well, yes, although I can't accept it, I can understand you."

Gawain smiled and flicked the ashes of his cigarette, then he looked at Whitebeard and smiled.

"After all, the reason why you are where you are today is because you like to have sons!"

"Gu la la la, tell me carefully and let me see if you really understand me!"

Whitebeard looked at Gawain with interest.

Facing Whitebeard's eyes, Gawain smiled and continued.

"Imagine a guy who is willing to treat all the children in the world as his own children.

A person who hopes to bring all the happiness in the world to all children.

Shouldn't he be as domineering as you? "

"The whole world..."

As soon as Gawain finished speaking, Whitebeard sighed with emotion.

"You're right, but I'm not as good as you said. I don't think about the world. I just don't want to hear any child cry!"

Speaking of this, Whitebeard turned to Gawain and asked.

"You have already spoken out my dream, what about you?

You know, your domineering beauty can easily crush me!

I want to see what kind of dream can carry such an intense color! "

Whitebeard suddenly sat up. He sat cross-legged in the water and looked at Gawain with great solemnity.

And Gawain….

Faced with Whitebeard's solemn attitude, he still lay there leisurely. He thought for a moment and then said.

"How can your little desire to reunite your family compete with my desire to change the entire world?

When you look at each child, do you know that I am also looking at you from a higher place!

When you desire to bring a happy childhood to every child, what I want to do is to bring a happy and stable life to everyone!

My determination is to create a completely different world for you and everyone in this world!

I want to dominate the world, sweep across the world, dominate the world, and completely end the current bad situation of hundreds of countries that have been at war for thousands of years, so that people of any age in the next era can enjoy true peace!

I will also plow through the courtyard and clean up the holes, and tear you and all the thieves who bear the same name as you into pieces into the garbage of the times!

I want to take away from the Five Old Stars and the World Government their right to rule the entire world for the past eight hundred years!

That's my goal. Sounds simple, right?

It's just…….

Just unify and rule the entire world. "

"Hiss!!!"

Whitebeard took in a breath of heat and looked into Gawain's eyes in disbelief.

"Dominating the four seas, sweeping across the land, and dominating the world!"

Having said this, he clenched his fists.

"Not even Joey Boy has made up his mind like this. What he wants to do is actually just an add-on to your goal, which is to bring freedom and equality to all slaves!"

I saw Whitebeard rubbing his beard vigorously.

"Damn it, I actually used the word "just". It's really... I learned a lot!"

After the words fell, Whitebeard swallowed.

"Aren't you afraid that after hearing your voice, I will tear you to pieces right here!

With my physique, even if I face the end of being weakened by the sea water, it is not something that an ordinary one or two billion little pirates can fight against! "

"Ha ha……."

Listening to Whitebeard's threat, Gawain shook his head boredly.

“If I don’t even dare to speak my own voice to you, then how can I dare to speak my voice to everyone in this world?

And if I am ashamed to even say my goals, then how can I dare to say that I will definitely achieve my goals?

Newgate, please recall carefully. No one who changes the times can be an unscrupulous person who even conceals his ultimate goal.

Even if that secretive guy wins the final victory, the world will not change at all because of him!

It is for this reason that we call everyone who changes the times a hero!

And what I want is not just a simple victory, I want to change the world, right? "

"sharp!"

Whitebeard exhaled heavily, then he lay back in the hot spring and closed his eyes.

Time passed minute by minute, and after dozens of seconds of silence, Whitebeard continued to speak with emotion.

"I have lost the qualification to evaluate your dream. It is simply beyond the scope of my thinking. Be it peace, happiness and stability, I can still talk about these.

But unity….

That is a scene that has never appeared in five thousand years!

As for me... "

Whitebeard paused for a moment, then he sighed.

"We are indeed still enemies, right? I'm afraid I've blocked your way forward!"

"No, it doesn't mean that, it doesn't matter to you, other pirates, or the revolutionary army, joining countries and non-joining countries, or even the World Government and the Five Old Stars.

None of you are my enemies, you are just obstacles in my way.

As for who is my enemy?

In my opinion, I have only two enemies.

One is fate, the other is myself, that's all. "

Gawain looked at Whitebeard. He reached out and put out the slightly moist cigarette. After finding the ashtray, Gawain continued to speak to Whitebeard.

“And this is why I invite you to meet here.

In order to push the obstacles in my way, I have to turn some of my obstacles into obstacles to my obstacles.

By now, we have gotten to know each other, even though we have only met for a short time and there is a big age difference between you and me.

But no matter what, we can be called friends.

So, Newgate, how about you do me a favor? "

"oh?"

Whitebeard grinned.

"You clearly said that you want to clear this obstacle, but you still want me to help you?

Gawain, I can't just follow Roger's example and hand myself over to you to be dragged to the execution platform and beheaded, right? "

"Haha, how could it be? On the contrary, what I want is not that you die, but that you continue to live!"

I saw that Gawain finally became serious. Even if he talked about dreams and goals just now, he was not as serious as when he talked about future plans at this moment.

After all, for Gawain, no matter how lofty his ideal is, it is just a distant finish line, and every plan at hand is the spikes and shoelaces he needs to sort out!

No matter what attitude you use to treat your dreams, the end point is always there and never changes.

But if you don’t straighten out the spikes, tie your shoelaces.

That's going to fall on the road!

On the side, looking at Gawain's solemn look, Whitebeard frowned, and he also became serious.

Then, Gawain said.

"In the next three to five years, I will continue to recruit every strong person in this sea. When I think that I and my men are strong enough, I will make a decision!

I need your cooperation on this, Newgate!

By then, I will completely blockade Upside Down Mountain and Fish-Man Island, and I will make it impossible for every pirate from all over the world to enter the Grand Line!

I want every pirate on the Grand Line to be unable to enter the new world!

The most important thing is that I want to seal you and all your pirate emperors in the new world.

You will forever lose the opportunity to get out of the new world! "

"this……?!!"

"Don't interrupt me!"

Gawain shouted coldly, then he sat in the hot spring and continued to speak to Whitebeard solemnly.

"I have carefully judged the situation of the world, and in my opinion, the harm caused by bandits is greater than anything else currently.

The more such people become role models for the world by not producing but living by robbery, the more the world will continue to collapse!

Therefore, no matter what I want to do in the future, how I want to do it.

As long as I still want to bring stability to the world, the first thing I have to deal with is you, you, all the pirates in the world who aim to leave their hometowns, abandon their relatives and friends, and rob others!

Although it is a bit cruel to say such things to you.

But I'm sorry, Newgate, but in my eyes you're about to bring down the world.

When you want your children to grow up healthily, have you ever thought about it?

If the child's father chooses to go to sea, no matter how prosperous the child's life is, the child's childhood will be unhealthy!

And you, you have something that makes me shine. You are also a role model for almost every young pirate in the world.

In addition, you even happen to occupy the entrance and exit in the direction of the New World, and your territory is exactly at that entrance and exit!

I don't need you to do much for me. When the day comes that I make a decision, you and I will be enemies of life and death.

But I hope you can do me a small favor.

When I am on this side of the Grand Line, I will block you on the other side of the New World.

I hope you can also stand on the side of the New World and block the Navy and World Government who will definitely take my opportunity to completely attack the New World! "
