Pirate: I'm really not a Super Saiyan

The long conversation Xia just talked about was actually a prelude to the last few core sentences.

Whitebeard frowned and lowered his head in silence.

Xia’s idea is actually very simple, it can be summed up in two sentences.

Don't you think that it would be fine for you and your sons just like this?

Then let me tell you, I can’t beat the Celestial Dragons at all. If you don’t help me, then you can just wait for me to lose and watch your sons suffer!

Aren't you just bullying me for having morals?

Then I will create an immoral object for you to warn you what will happen if you don’t help me!

Fortunately, the image of the Celestial Dragons as being immoral is deeply rooted in people's minds, and there is no need for Xia to deliberately create it.

Whitebeard never doubted the fact that if they fell into the hands of the World Government, they would be punished, tortured, or even treated as slaves and molested at will.

It would be better to say that if they don’t do this, they won’t be the world government!

Whitebeard was very conflicted at this time.

Deep down in his heart, Whitebeard still hopes that Xia will succeed.

Whether it is from the content in the newspaper or from his own personal experience.

The new government established by Xia really looks like his ideal government!

There is no artificial division of the people into different classes, and there is no need to squeeze the last drop of oil from the poor to pay for the gold from the sky. The people in the government have a good care of their children and a place to rely on when they are old...

If he was born in such a country, he would probably have a happy childhood.

Whitebeard, who was imprisoned, often had random thoughts like this when he had nothing to do.

This is also one of the reasons why he didn't want to do anything and just lay down after being arrested.

He was born on an island in a lawless area in the New World. Because he could not afford the Heavenly Gold, he could not join the World Government, let alone get the protection of the Navy.

He lost all his family members when he was very young. War, famine, disease, death... He grew up in such an environment.

Some people use their childhood to heal their entire life, while others use their entire life to heal their childhood.

Whitebeard's desire to have a family and his obsession with protecting his family was born out of his painful experiences as a child!

Xia understood Whitebeard's pulse and tailored these words for him!

"...The information you just told me is really incredible and hard for me to accept.

What secret power of the Celestial Dragons, the Five Elders are the power users of the Mythical Beasts, and there is even a demon above the Five Elders..."

Whitebeard smiled bitterly.

"Even children's fairy tale picture books wouldn't dare to write like this."

Xia did not respond. He already had a premonition that his previous words had already broken through Whitebeard's defenses. It seemed that he was about to give in!

You can't interrupt his train of thought at this time, otherwise it will be bad if he changes his mind.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Whitebeard suddenly asked Xia:

"Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

!

Become!

Taoist priest...Oh no, it’s Xia Ta!

Xia was overjoyed, but did not show it on his face.

He already had the answer to Whitebeard's question in his mind, and answered directly:

"I need your strength, Whitebeard.

Your unparalleled destructive power is the most powerful ability in the world!

I need you to lead a group of your sons who have passed the review and are willing to cooperate with us to join our attack on Mary Joa.

In exchange for the reward, I will apply for meritorious service for your Whitebeard Pirates. If the merit is great enough, it is very likely that the sentences of all the members of your pirate group will be commuted and they can be released from prison.

But there is one thing I want to make clear to you, if you really want to help."

Xia looked at Whitebeard seriously and said:

"I didn't lie to you in any way. I'm not sure about this battle. I can only take it one step at a time and deal with it as it comes.

Therefore, I cannot guarantee you the scale, time, and intensity of the battle. You and your sons may die in this war. You must be mentally prepared for this before deciding whether to help me or not."

"Gulala~!"

Who would have thought that after hearing Xia's warning, Whitebeard burst into laughter.

This was the first time he laughed heartily since he was imprisoned.

"You make this sound so scary. Aren't you afraid that I will regret it? Or aren't you afraid that after I get my freedom, I will run away with my sons?"

“Because I don’t want to lie to you, Whitebeard.

You should be able to feel my sincerity.

I also believe that you are not someone who would break a promise you made.”

Xia kept his eyes fixed on Whitebeard's eyes and said seriously:

"My principle is to be honest with others."

"Humph, you said I won't break my promise, but I swore that I would never let go of anyone who hurt my companions. How should I settle the score for you killing so many of my sons?"

Whitebeard's smile suddenly disappeared and he glared angrily.

Xia was not afraid of the angry Whitebeard at all and replied:

"If you and I are lucky enough to live to see the day we succeed, then you can take my life as you please. I would love nothing more than that.

When I chose this path that was destined to cost countless lives, I was already prepared to sacrifice myself at any time!

If my life is the reward you really want, then I will give it to you!"

Whitebeard and Xia looked at each other, their equally powerful gazes colliding fiercely in the air, as if they were about to create sparks.

Finally, Whitebeard slowly withdrew his gaze, and without mentioning taking Xia's life, he spoke:

"You have to give me some time to convince my sons. They are all stubborn people like me. Even if I try to convince them myself, it may not have much effect."

"No problem. We have already prepared the list of approved candidates. We can give it to you now. Please take your time to select from the list above."

Xia handed over the documents to Whitebeard that he had brought with him every time before but had never used.

Whitebeard opened it and saw that there were not many names on it, but they were all the best:

Margo, Jozi, Bista and many more.

They are indeed his powerful subordinates who have not committed many crimes.

It seems that this list was made with great care and has been carefully screened.

"…Why isn't Izou here? From what I understand, this child should also meet your standards?"

Whitebeard looked for a long time but didn't find Izo's name, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Although Izou had a history with Oden, we also examined him equally and found that he really had no other problems except the conflict among pirates. He was taken back to Wano Country by Oden, and his brother was still waiting for him there."

Whitebeard nodded, closed the documents in his hand, and extended his big, table-like hand to Xia.

Xia was stunned for a moment, then he also stretched out his hand.

“As you said, this is not just for you and me, this is for everyone in the world.

So... it's a pleasure working with you, Xia."
