I am a Celestial Dragon!

Gawain took a swig of wine.

It was really too difficult for him to refuse Whitebeard's proposal.

Because that proposal was too close to victory.

At least it’s too close to victory on paper!

That was a raid that included almost 80% of the strongest men in the entire One Piece world!

Maybe... we can really win!

But what happens after you win?

Among the founders of the new era, there are teams and elements like the Pirate Alliance.

The most important thing is, are Sakaski and other navies really willing to cooperate with the pirates?

Granted, Sakaski and Porusalino were indeed willing to fight for Gawain.

They are even willing to replace Gawain with Mary Joa to compete for the position of the five old stars.

but…….

If you let them cooperate with pirates...

At least Sakaski can’t agree!

Whitebeard's plan is good, but such a plan cannot be decided simply by talking about it.

If Gawain really needs to use the power of pirates to attack Mariejoia in the future, then he must at least spend a lot of time coordinating and doing a good job with Sakaski and other naval forces!

For Sakaski, following Gawain to attack Mary Joa is called Qingjun Side, and that is called Fulongtai.

But follow the pirates and fight Marie Joa.

That's a mutiny! ! !

In short, after considering many factors, Gawain shook his head heavily and once again rejected his hesitation just now.

Seeing Gawain constantly shaking his head, Newgate pursed his lips unwillingly.

But in the end, he still let out a long breath.

"I see, hey, it seems that Mary Joa won't collapse as easily as I thought.

But yes, if just gathering a group of strong men could easily capture it, then Mary Joa would not have stood on the sea carried by this hero for eight hundred years.

Even Captain Rocks back then was a terrifying being who had gathered more than a dozen monster subordinates.

When he was most offended, he only focused on the Valley of Gods, a place that was relatively important to the Celestial Dragons, but not very important to the World Government.

This is really...sigh...

I don’t know if I will be able to see Marie Joa’s collapse before I die. "

Having said this, Newgate raised the barrel and drank one with Gawain.

After putting down his bowl of wine, Shanks grinned.

"Speaking of which, Newgate-senpai, what you did just now is not like your character.

Why did he suddenly have the idea to attack Mary Joa together with Gawain?

If we were to be evaluated individually on the world stage.

Then we pirates, his Gawain's black bird, Long's revolutionary army, hundreds of alliance countries, and the world government.

The problems between these camps cannot be solved by simply joining forces and destroying Mary Joa!

I have just said that I don’t care what the future of the world looks like, but I need a stable enough time to do my own thing!

Once we join forces to attack Mariejoia, no matter whether we win or lose, the sea is destined to fall into chaos!

So, sorry, Newgate.

No matter whether Gawain accepts your invitation or not, I won't accept it anyway. I don't want to add fuel to your crazy behavior.

But fortunately, Gawain did not join you.

So, haha.

Let's meet in two days.

In two days, let us fight decisively under Marie Joa, and let the sea witness the pirates’ final struggle and your Gawain’s grace!

This drink is enough for now!

I'm leaving, Newgate, do you want to come with me? "

As he spoke, Shanks raised his buttocks and headed towards the distant loop.

Seeing Shanks stand up, Newgate let out a sigh of relief and then stood up as well.

"Yes, I actually forgot about you. You, a guy who has always longed for stability, really can't fight with me like Mary Joa.

So, the sudden plan is really unreliable. I was really impulsive this time.

That’s enough wine for today, Gawain, you and I will see you the day after tomorrow.

Don't forget my words. If possible, spare Lingling's life and help my sons who are still alive.

In return, haha, sooner or later you will know what I will give you in return.

As for now.

Goodbye, Gawain! "

After saying that, Newgate stood in the sea breeze and looked at Gawain with a smile.

Seeing Newgate saying goodbye, Gawain immediately nodded, then stood up and left.

After a while, Thunder gathered on the dock, and Gawain's figure slowly appeared.

And the moment Gawain appeared.

Sakaski hurried to Gawain's side.

"Sir, you didn't answer my call just now!

Just two minutes ago, I received a call from Marshal Sengoku!

Kuzan may not be able to participate in the war the day after tomorrow. He needs to take people to the new world!

Not long ago, Shanks' navigators and ship's doctors led their monkeys to attack the production and preservation base of Explosive Rock!

The amount of explosive rock they stole was enough to blast a small gap in the Red Earth Continent!

Therefore, Marie Joa issued a death order. Our navy must send a team headed by the general, and on the one hand, all the explosive rocks must be recovered.

On the other hand, Kuzan will also be stationed at the dynamite rock production base for a period of time!

so……. "

"So this godly move created by Shanks not only gave them a difficult trump card to deal with, but also expelled one of our main combat forces..."

Gawain took over Sakaski's words and continued.

"As expected of Shanks, even in a desperate situation on paper, he can come up with enough solutions to break the situation.

If this happens, we may be in big trouble the day after tomorrow. "

While talking, Gawain took a sip of wine.

While considering his drink, he looked at the noon sun.

"Aramaki and Barrett are done fighting, right? Let's eat.

The Black Bird's tradition cannot be abandoned. No matter what, we should hold a banquet to welcome the new crew members.

Come and tell Zhepu that he may have a hard time today.

Also, Barrett, Aramaki, come to me! "

"Copy that, new boss!"

"Got it, Captain!"

After hearing Gawain's words, Aramu and Barrett came to the opposite side of Gawain one after another.

Looking at these two guys, Gawain asked funnyly.

"How about it, who won?

I was chatting too seriously with the white-bearded red-haired guy before, and I really didn’t see the results. "

"Ha, there's no winning or losing, the new boss!"

Listening to Gao Gao's words, Aramaki responded with a smile.

“This guy is pretty good, at least I didn’t get too much advantage.

As for the outcome, neither of us even used our Devil Fruit abilities, so we haven’t even reached the stage of deciding the outcome yet!

But I think I'm sure to win, because I'm a natural type like Boss Sakaski.

We people of the natural type are the strongest, and the boss Gao Wen is also a natural type, right?

I just said we are the strongest! ! ! "

"cut!"

As soon as Aramaki finished speaking, Barrett on the side chewed the air with his mouth and said disdainfully.

“The natural fruit is indeed very powerful, but it depends on who uses it.

As for you, haha, look at your nondescript appearance!

In the heart of Death River?

Do you think you are the ultimate?

Unscrupulous gangsters! "

After saying "Mitai Huangmu", Barrett nodded leisurely to Gawain.

“Captain, haha, there’s a party tonight, right?

That's a good feeling. I'm going to take a shower and tidy up my hair and beard.

I don’t know how many women are at our banquet, but at least I want to dress up neatly.

Finally leaving the cramped apartment in Impel Down, I am looking forward to hot springs and hot baths! "

After saying that, Barrett didn't care what Gawain had to say, he turned around and left.

Barrett knew well that he was a war guy and he didn't want to participate in any research or discussion.

Since his skills were inferior to others, he was defeated by Gawain.

The captain told me to do whatever he asked me to do, without any hesitation.

The target is always the enemy anyway, wouldn’t it be over if you kill the enemy?

On the side, Barrett watched Shi Shiran leave.

Aramaki came closer to Gawain and said to Gawain with a playful smile.

“Brother, you see that guy is so arrogant, he doesn’t even listen to what you have to say.

How about you send me a person, and I can be more stable and teach him a lesson?

It's not impossible to fight on my own, it's just a bit difficult and a waste of time.

What do you think? "

"I don't think so, Arammu."

Gawain patted Aramu on the shoulder in a funny way and continued with a smile.

“The reason why I called you two here is just to say welcome words to you.

As for Barrett, I never expected that guy to respect me much. His character only requires obedience, and he will only obey.

Okay, that’s all, you go and have a rest.

Keya, give Aramu a few sets of our clothes, and then arrange a room for him. "

"As you command, my lord."

Keya nodded hurriedly, and then took Huang Mu away.

Huang Mu shook his head at Gawain from afar, which was regarded as his salute.

After saluting, he bent over with a smile and followed Keya's butt in small steps.

While wandering around, he also jokingly chatted with Keya about the things that were on board the Black Bird.

It can be seen that Aramaki is a very familiar person, and his character is really no different from those extreme gangsters in Japan.

In front of the boss's secretary, is this the gangster who is just groveling and joking like that?

It can be seen that, at least in terms of integrating into the Black Bird, Aramaki is much faster than Barrett.

Not far away, I saw Aramaki walking away with his butt swaying.

Sakaski shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Sir, this guy Arammu has always had this kind of character. This is probably a common problem among monsters like us.

If there is not enough persistence, no one can become a monster.

And for everyone who becomes a monster, their character is at least solid and unshakable.

Barrett is a big problem, but thankfully you have the power to control him.

Although Aramaki is lazy, don't worry, he won't hold us back in the battle.

Anyway…. "

Having said this, Sakaski pondered for a moment, then frowned in displeasure.

“Anyway, let’s talk about Dynamite Rock.

After Shanks gets that thing, we must be prepared for them to use this weapon in war!

Therefore, I strongly recommend changing the scheduled battlefield from the frontier stronghold of the Red Earth Continent under your feet to the sea area at least 200 kilometers away from the Red Earth Continent toward the New World!

In that case, even if the opponent uses dynamite rocks, it will not harm the Red Earth Continent and cause instability in Mariejoia.

As for the inconvenience of fighting at sea, if you take my advice, then I will call Marshal Warring States immediately.

I will let Porusalino advance to support the Explosive Rock Collection Base, and then trade Kuzan back.

At that time, we can use Kuzan's Ice Age to create an ice continent as a foothold in the war job.

Do you see...? "

Sakaski raised his head and waited for Gawain's answer.

Facing Sakaski's expectant eyes, Gawain thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"No need!"

After a straightforward refusal, Gawain patted Sakaski on the shoulder.

"Although Shanks got the dynamite rock, precisely because he got it, the dynamite rock will not be a problem for us."

“But, sir, we cannot let down our vigilance against weapons like dynamite rocks that can easily destroy islands just because of the so-called pirate’s character!

The performance of the dynamite rock is there. Once there are any signs of use, the trouble we face will probably be beyond our ability to bear!

Even if the opponent is Shanks, we can't let down our guard!

What's more, even if he doesn't want to use the dynamite rock, we can't guarantee whether the other party can guarantee the safety of the dynamite rock!

He can snatch the dynamite rock from the hands of the World Government. Wouldn't other pirates who know the news snatch those things from him? "

Saying this, Sakaski turned his head and looked into the distance bitterly.

That is the direction where the pirates continue to gather.

Gritting his teeth fiercely, Sakaski turned back and continued to speak to Gawain.

“So, sir, I still suggest that we push the battle line into the sea. Only in that way will the dynamite rock not have the possibility of harming Mary Joa!

I……. "

"I know what you said makes sense, but you should know that I also have my own reasons."

Gawain raised his hand to stop Sakaski's words, and saw him shaking his head and speaking softly.

“The reason why I don’t want to change the battlefield is because even if we move the battlefield, we may not be able to guarantee the safety of the red earth continent below Mary Joa.

After our main combat forces have all moved to the outer sea to fight the pirates, what if the elite pirates carrying explosive rocks turn to attack the dock under our feet and the red soil continent behind us?

The opponent's possession of dynamite rock actually means that they have the initiative to take dangerous actions.

Instead of relying on changing my position to avoid that danger, I prefer to put the danger right under my nose!

Right here, right under our feet, even if the war gets to the point where explosive rocks are really used, we people can counterattack as soon as possible.

There is no shortage of speedsters on our side, and at the same time, there are not just one or two people with space-related abilities.

Whether Luo or I, even a smile can remotely control the movement of the dynamite rock in the first place. "

While talking, Gawain moved to the beach chair near the swimming pool and lay down comfortably.

I found the most comfortable position to lie down and rest.

Gawain patted Sakaski's calf.

"If together we can't solve the trouble at Dynamite Rock, then even if we can avoid it for a while, we won't be able to avoid it for a lifetime.

To be honest, I really hope Shanks uses that thing.

After all, as long as the cards are played.

It's a card that has lost its effect. "
