I am a Celestial Dragon!

When he thought of this, Gawain felt a little chilly.

If the Five Old Stars are really all animal type phantom beast species fruits.

That…….

So they, who had no intention of giving themselves a fantasy beast seed fruit from the beginning, were fundamentally treating themselves...

No!

wrong!

Gawain changed his mind while thinking because he remembered what Shanks had just said.

Shanks said that all the major families of the Celestial Dragons have their own customs!

So, maybe not eating Devil Fruits, or not eating Phantom Beast Devil Fruits, is what they thought... what about the tradition of the Gawain family that they had strayed into?

While Gawain was thinking silently, Shanks also saw that Gawain was a little confused.

Shanks was stunned for a moment. This is a tradition among the major families of the Celestial Dragons. It is an absolute secret that every outstanding member of the Celestial Dragon family must know!

How could Gawain not know….

profound! ! !

Suddenly, Shanks realized, he remembered Gawain's life background!

This poor young man's parents died suddenly while on a trip to the sea.

Therefore, I am afraid that it is because of this that the secrets of the Gawain family cannot be passed down completely!

Thinking of this, Shanks let out a long breath.

Why.

Aside from Gawain's amazing overlord character and ideals, Gawain is just a young man in his twenties.

What were you doing when you were in your twenties?

At that time, I was probably looking for ways to recruit the current group of partners from all over the world.

While thinking about it, Shanks narrowed his eyes, and with wings fluttering, he came to Gawain and patted Gawain's shoulder gently.

“Anyway, Gawain, you should know.

Although most of the Tianlong people are trash.

But every Draco family is an indispensable part of Mary Joa.

Each family has their own garbage that they use to drive and guide the economy of the sea, while also reminding the world of the majesty of the Celestial Dragons.

And at the same time.

Each of our families also has its own member who will be involved in Mary Joa's most important work.

There is no need to say more about the Five Old Stars. Their five Martial Gods will always compete for five out of the eighteen Celestial Dragon families to sit in the highest position in Mariejoia.

As for the families without the Five Old Stars, the outstanding members of those families will join the Knights of God and become a supreme authority independent of the Five Old Stars system, qualified to judge the Celestial Dragons.

In this way, the thirteen families represented by the thirteen members of the Knights of God, and the five families where the Five Old Stars belong together, are the eighteen families of the Tianlong people.

As for the remaining nineteenth family, and the last twentieth family.

As the last bloodline of the Gawain family, you should know the situation of those two families. "

"certainly!"

Seeing that Shanks spoke so confidently, it was impossible for Gawain to show cowardice at such a time.

Facing Shanks's pressure-filled eyes, Gawain raised his head and glanced at the sky.

“The rest, except for the Neferutali family in Alabasta.

Isn't it just...heh.

Is there only the non-existent ruler on the Void Throne?

But Shanks, are you sure that if you tell me this, no one will know about it? "

"how could be."

Listening to Gawain's question, Shanks chuckled.

“Although Im possesses the power of the animal type, Dragon Dragon Fruit, Phantasmal Beast Species, and Nighold form, he also possesses the King of Heaven as a weapon.

But nothing she had could help her hear the world.

As for the bird that he had already mastered.

The news bird who pretended to be Morgans was actually a member of the Markas family.

Although his seagulls are useful, no seabirds can get close to you and me!

So, feel free to chat, Im will never know what you and I are talking about.

Although the things you and I want to do are different, the aspect of rebellion is no different.

I've always paid attention to these, don't worry. "

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his only hand, reached to his waist and took out Gawain's wine gourd.

After taking a sip of wine, Shanks raised the wine gourd and touched it with the wine flask that Gawain had just taken out.

While clinking glasses with Shanks, Gawain's heart was beating violently.

Damn it!

Damn it!

It seems like it’s only been a year since I traveled back in time, right?

In this year, has the old thief Oda cheated?

How many holes did he fill in and dig in this year?

Shanks has become a Devil Fruit user, and he is still a Griffin with the same name as his supreme sword!

What did the Five Old Stars become...the God of War?

No other Tianlong has ever talked to me about this title!

It is impossible for the Five Old Stars themselves to emphasize their respective names as gods of war to Gawain.

So, the background of this world is updated too fast?

Only Im….

Im is actually the owner of the dragon dragon fruit phantom beast species!

Damn it, the Dragon Dragon Fruit itself is super powerful, because the Dragon Dragon Fruit that appears on the sea is not ordinary at all!

The Dragon Dragon Fruit is at least in the form of an ancient dinosaur!

And the phantom beast species of the Dragon Dragon Fruit...

It’s still the same Nighold who has been entangled with the World Tree for his entire life in mythology! ! !

Hell, just think of the story of Nighold and Yggdrasil for a moment.

Gawain always felt that Im's ability seemed to be full of malice towards this pirate world with the two trees of Adam and Eve as its core!

On the side, it seemed to be seen from Gawain's expression that Gawain didn't know these things.

So, Shanks pursed his lips in a funny manner and continued to speak to Gawain.

“I know that Alabasta is now your territory.

Although their king Kobra is still sitting on the throne, not only can he not completely control his country, but he has also tied his daughter to your ship.

So, be careful, Gawain.

After all, Alabasta has a very special meaning to Mary Joa and Im.

After all, it was Princess Lily back then.

His full name is...Naferutali D. Lily!

It is conceivable that the existence of Alabasta is destined to be the realization of some kind of conspiracy of Im.

You'd better keep an eye on your little princess.

Gawain! "

After the words fell, Shanks raised his wings and patted Gawain's shoulder again.

And Gawain….

What Shanks revealed next made him really burn out his CPU!

Neferutali D. Lilly? ! !

It turns out that this one of the twenty Celestial Dragon families who refused to join Marie Joa was actually the D family? ! !

Then...how did the D family become the founders of Mary Joa?

At the same time, why will the D family in the future become Marie Joa's biggest enemy?

Did Princess Lily betray Im, or did Im betray Princess Lily?

What kind of story is this?

After much deliberation, Gawain discovered that it was impossible for him to get the answer based on everything he had come into contact with.

Yi Mu was hidden too deeply, and the Five Old Stars were silent about Yi Mu's existence.

Without Shanks' explanation, Gawain wouldn't have had access to the above-mentioned information until at least he broke into Mariejoia!

Thinking of this, Gawain suddenly frowned. He looked at Shanks and asked hesitantly.

"This is really interesting information, Shanks. If this information were known to Dahai, it would be very lively!

It's just... I want to know.

Information like this that even I don’t know...

How did you know?

Not the news related to the Five Old Stars and Phantom Beasts, I can also know about those.

I'm talking about... Im!

How do you know so much about Im, Shanks!

What role did you play in it? "

When the words fell, Gawain looked at Shanks with a little more scrutiny.

Facing Gawain's scrutinizing eyes, Shanks smiled slightly and then responded.

"It's very simple, although I have been on Captain Roger's ship as long as I can remember.

But no matter how contagious the life of a pirate is, in the eyes of my blood relatives, I am still just a Celestial Dragon who has experienced a lot of depravity.

And my blood relatives...

Their status is rather special.

Not to mention my father….

Oh, that stupid man happens to be the current leader of the Knights of God.

And the Knights of God.

Although they don't have the power to control Mary Joa or even the entire world like the Five Old Stars.

But they only serve one person and only obey one person's orders!

The position of the Five Old Stars has been constantly changing in the past eight hundred years. For example, you and your Gawain family may become one of the Five Old Star families in the future.

But no matter how time changes, the Fegaland family is still the master of the Valley of Gods and the leader of the Knights of God.

This status obviously allows me to get more information.

The prerequisite for getting this kind of information is to make my father, other elders, and Im think that I am...

You are doing something that is willful but definitely beneficial to Lord Im! "

Having said this, Shanks put his right hand into the pocket of his shorts.

His wings vibrated slightly.

On the side, Gawain took a deep breath thoughtfully.

"So, the so-called Air Force and Army, or the largest Navy and CP organizations.

These military forces that seem to be supporting Marie Joa, actually have no impact on the Celestial Dragons' rule over Marie Joa, right?

As for the Knights of God, this knighthood is composed of all the remaining Celestial Dragon families.

And... it's even Wu Laoxing himself.

These eighteen people are Marigio's real trump cards!

It is also the embodiment of Mary Joa’s highest power! "

"That's right!"

After hearing Gawain's words, Shanks nodded simply.

While nodding, Shanks continued Gawain's words.

“So, Gawain, everything you and I are doing now is just a small fight.

Just like the World Government can let Garp's son be the leader of the revolutionary army, they are still willing to let Garp serve as a naval hero.

Because they don't care.

Just like they don't care whether you have integrated the Navy and the Black Bird, or even half of the Grand Line.

Just like they don't care that I became the Pirate Emperor, and now they even took away the Explosive Rock, which brought the pressure I thought to Mariejoia.

In their eyes, everything we do is just a boring game played by the younger generation.

We can't even make them nervous! "

I saw Shanks pull out his right hand from his pocket, and then smoothed his hair.

While arranging his hair, Shanks looked at Gawain and continued.

"For Marie Joa, unless all members of the Knights of God are dispatched, no matter what accident happens, it will be just a child's play!

Even if the war between us detonates the Red Earth Continent below Mary Joa, the power of the phantom beast species fruit possessed by the Five Old Stars can easily reshape part of the landscape of the Red Earth Continent to ensure the safety of Mary Joa.

So far, even though our war has reached this level, not even a single member of the Knights of God has appeared.

It is conceivable that even if we are entangled with so many strong people gathered here, we are still just a joke in the eyes of Mary Joa and Im!

So, Gawain, you can't win this war, and I can't lose it!

Even if it has a great impact on our reputation, we still need to preserve our high-level combat power as much as possible without being able to force the Knights of God!

You should know that my ideal is not to lead the pirates to defeat the navy. The reason why I have to stand up and stand at the forefront of the pirates to try to maintain an undefeated situation is because I need them to be my strength in the future!

The same is true for you. Even if you seem to have excellent cards, in fact, a lineup that even the Knights of God can't force out is simply not enough to break through Mary Joa's absolute rule of the world!

Even if the pirates do block your way now!

You should also think more about it.

Will these pirates blocking your path now become tools to broaden your path in the future? "

After the words fell, Shanks took out his drink and had another drink with Gawain.

While drinking, Gawain took a deep breath.

"The Knights of God, the phantom beast fruit of the Five Old Stars, and the shadow of Im entrenched below the world.

Oh, the secrets of this world are really surprising.

But even the surprising content was not enough to make me change my mind! "

At this point, Gawain took out the hip flask he had been using for more than a year.

Throwing a wine bottle to Shanks, Gawain said at the same time.

“I wanted to use these things at a more appropriate time.

But now, it's time for them to come into play.

Take our tokens and fulfill the gentlemanly promise between you and me.

Don't continue to lead your pirate forces to resist.

I'm not going to let you cheat for me, Shanks, because I don't need to cheat, the people who need to do that are you and your pirates.

Give up all extraneous means and let the navy, my subordinates, and the pirates fight to their heart's content.

Winning or losing... is up to them, and I don't believe I will lose. "

"Um."

After listening to Gawain's words, Shanks nodded slightly.

"It seems that you will never back down in front of me, Gawain.

But that's right, your current age is really enviable. At such an age, you really shouldn't do anything aggrieved or tactful. "

While talking, Shanks also took out a wine gourd.

Throwing the wine gourd to Gawain casually, Shanks said with a smile.

“Without my extra moves, it would be really difficult for the pirates to win, so as a promise, don’t chase future pirates.

Trust me, it just takes a little guidance.

Those extremely vicious guys will become...an important force standing in front of the Knights of God! "
