Is it an important force?

Listening to Shanks' words, Gawain was thoughtful.

What Shanks said does make sense, at least after learning about the true power of the Five Old Stars and what the Knights of God and the Celestial Dragon Family are hiding.

Gawain had to admit that if he did not exist in this world, it would be impossible for Luffy, the pirate king in the original plot, to continue to live alone.

Luffy and his team alone would never be able to defeat MarieJoia like this no matter what.

So in the end, there was no doubt.

One Piece still has to return to its own theme.

I am afraid that in the future of the original plot, the pirate forces will gather around Luffy for various inexplicable reasons. At the same time, they will merge with a series of forces such as Wano Country and the Revolutionary Army, and embark on the real path.

Overturn MarieJoia's road.

Just like towards the end of One Piece's plot, Luffy fought more and more team battles. Even if it became a key battle for the new Yonko, it was Luffy, Kidd and Law who fought together.

If I didn't have myself, the world of One Piece would really become a world where pirates shine brightly.

After all, this is the world of One Piece!

However, all kinds of speculations and futures are based on the premise.

No Gawain!

Without him, even a guy like Kidd who wastes human life and frequently slaughters cities, burns, kills, and loots can rely on binding Luffy, clear his name in a blink of an eye, and gain the appreciation and sympathy of countless fans!

Without him, maybe even Blackbeard Teach would be whitewashed into a future teammate of Luffy's attack on Mary Joa because of his D status!

As for the so-called hatred between Luffy and Teach?

Although it was Teach who sent Ace to prison, Ace had already escaped, and it was Sakaski who killed Ace!

If there is no self in this world, then fans would rather accept Blackbeard, a true villain with no humanity, than Sakaski, an absolutely outstanding soldier who can be called an extreme star no matter what era he appears in.

!

Without oneself, this world may, after a series of plots, lead to the defeat of Im and the overthrow of the world government, and then usher in a new era of flourishing flowers!

But does such an era really exist?

Or it could be said to rely on a group of pirates and a group of fearful revolutionary troops, or a country like Wano... ruled by a mature seven-year-old child.

Unless it's a fairy tale, otherwise...

Do they really have the qualifications and ability to decide the future of the ocean and the tens of billions of lives in this world!!!

Thinking of this, Gawain bit his teeth and then said to Shanks word by word.

"Roger's influence on you...is really profound!

So much so that a rational guy like you actually believes that pirates can bring a better future!

In every ten of your sentences, there will always be a few that emphasize pirates as strength.

But why don't you think about it carefully.

If only one person has strength, and that person is willing to be our strength at the critical moment.

If the crimes this person committed in the past can be forgiven by us...

Would such a world be more reasonable than today's world?"

Having said this, Gawain casually hung the wine gourd that Shanks had given him back to him on his waist.

After fastening the laces, Gawain raised his head again and shook Shanks gently.

"The reason why I don't want to see pirates as a usable force right now.

Precisely because... I don't want people who don't deserve it to get any chance to make contributions to the new era!

If one day I succeed, then even Doflamingo will not want to continue "living" in "this" world!

I remember the crimes my men have committed, and I am always ready to liquidate them!

I plan to treat even my own men like this, let alone...the pirates who have always had sin by their side!

Once those people I want to clean up have considerable credit in my process of clarifying the world.

Tsk tsk, even for me, cleaning up the heroes involves taking a lot of risks.

It's already troublesome enough just to deal with the criminals on my own ship, but you also want to put a whole bunch of extremely vicious guys in front of the future heroes!

Shanks, I really don't know if you really don't care about that.

Or are you really that stupidly proud!

You are not stupid, you are smart.

Therefore, although you have always maintained a series of righteous persona such as not disturbing the people and not robbing the people.

But in fact, the Celestial Dragon blood in your bones has always affected you!

You seem kind!

But you... have never loved thousands of common people in this world...

In other words, your love for the common people all over the world is just your own inability to do harm.

And besides not doing harm, you can't do anything, let alone do it."

Having said this, Gawain raised his hand and pushed Shanks' wings aside.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the first wine gourd that returned to his hand and waved it slightly to Shanks.

"The agreement you and I made has now been fulfilled.

Then as promised, put down the dynamite rock you took away.

That thing is indeed a threat to 99% of people at sea, but it is far from a threat to you and me.

After all, you and I both know that if you really want to use explosive rocks to bombard the Red Earth Continent, you will probably have to face the Knights of God.

So, let everyone have a good fight. The navy will be sharpened in this battle, and the pirates will also find a little sense of unity through this battle.

If you want to use pirates as a force to attack Mariejoia, then this unity is suitable for them.

With the foundation laid today, it will be easier for you to call on pirates in the future.

At the same time, your request is that if the pirates fail, then I cannot hunt down the existing pirates on a large scale.

Shanks, don’t forget my purpose. My purpose is to perfectly control the Grand Line, not to eradicate the pirates today!

No one will hunt you down. I only need your failure to suppress the young people around the world who are ready to take action.

After your failure, the young people from all over the world who have no chance to become pirates may suffer for a while.

But I know they won't suffer for long, because my world and I will continue to expand as the sea train continues to be laid.

What I want now is the Grand Line, because everything I have only allows me to control the Grand Line.

I will want more in the future because then I will have more.

That makes sense, doesn't it?"

As he spoke, Gawain put the wine bottle back on himself and raised his hand to pat Shanks on the shoulder.

Feeling Gawain's movements, Shanks raised his head uncomfortably.

"When I went to find my daughter before, you were not as tall as you are now.

For a short time, I have to look up to you, Gawain."

After teasing, Shanks put his hand on his scabbard and nodded coolly.

"In short, our agreement has been reached.

So, let's each rely on our abilities in this battle.

But in fact, I have lost, because I failed to convince you, but you were finally convinced.

Gawain, you guy......

Oh, if only you had appeared ten years earlier!

In that case, maybe after I steal the Nika fruit, I will send that fruit to you.

Who said that you, this guy, really looks countless times more dependable than fate and the child I chose?

A not-so-happy leader, and a happy child.

Haha, the choice of fate is always so interesting and always so difficult to choose.

Because I know that even if you succeed, the world you bring will definitely not be as happy as that child.

But it doesn't matter whether you are happy or not, the child will always see only bad people and good people.

And you, in your eyes are more ordinary people, mortals, weak and humble people.

I just hope you have a way to deal with the outstanding ones in the future.

Who said that every outstanding person would instinctively ask for more?
