I, a Celestial Dragon!

"Speaking of which, this is the only place where I can barely compete with you, right?"

"Ah, your strength..."

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

“Don’t even mention your strength. You can’t even beat my stupid son Teach now. He’s so weak that he doesn’t even have a bounty. Gulala!

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

Don't learn from Roger Reilly and the others. What's the harm in not using the fruit? Will it make people of the same strength superior to others?

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

To be honest, if I just think about your position, I feel dangerous for you!"

Whitebeard gave a reminiscent look and continued speaking while thinking.

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

At that time, Rocks' subordinates were a group of guys like us who were so powerful that they made all the pirates tremble.

But so what? The more powerful a person is, the more determined his goal will be. I don’t know how you gathered them together.

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

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 contributed a lot, I must say that the crew's own laziness and ambition accounted for a large part of the reason!

So Gao Wen, improve your strength as quickly as possible!

To my sons, I will tell them that dreams can become everything 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!

Only the strongest person in the world is qualified to make 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 actions, Gawain quickly raised his head, stared at Whitebeard's hand, and rolled his eyes.

Seeing Gawain's rolling eyes, Whitebeard was slightly stunned, and he quickly put his hand in the air back into the warm water.

"Ahem, this old man really admires young people like you, haha!"

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

Gawain flicked the ash from his cigarette with a smile, then he looked at Whitebeard and smiled.

"After all, the reason you've gotten to where you are today is because you like having sons!"

“Gulala, tell me in detail, let me see whether you truly understand me or not!”

Whitebeard looked at Gawain with interest.

Facing Whitebeard's gaze, Gawain smiled and continued.

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

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

Shouldn't he be as domineering as you?"

"The whole world..."

As soon as Gawain finished speaking, Whitebeard let out a sigh of emotion.

"You are right. I am not as good as you say. I have no desire to dominate the world. I just don't want to hear any child cry!"

At this point, Whitebeard turned to Gawain and asked.

“You’ve already spoken of my dream, what about you?

You know, your domineering color can easily crush me!

I want to see what kind of dream can carry such a strong domineering color! "

Whitebeard suddenly sat up, crossed his legs in the water, and looked at Gawain very seriously.

And Gawain...

Facing Whitebeard's serious attitude, he still lay there leisurely. He thought for a moment and then spoke.

"How can your small wish of reuniting your family compete with my desire to change the world?

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

When you long 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 will dominate the four seas, sweep across the world, and unify the world, and completely put an end to the current terrible situation that has lasted for thousands of years and in which hundreds of countries are constantly fighting, so that people of all ages in the next era can enjoy true peace!

I will also dig up every hole and tear you and all the thieves who bear the same name as you into pieces as the garbage of the times!

I will also seize from the Five Elders and the World Government their right to rule the entire world for the past eight hundred years!

This is my goal, sounds simple right?

It's just……

Unify and rule the world."

"Hiss!!!"

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

"Dominate the four seas, sweep across the world, and unify the world!"

Having said that, he clenched his fists.

"Even Joy Boy has never made such a determination. What he wants to do is just a byproduct of your goal, which is to bring freedom and equality to all slaves!"

Whitebeard was seen rubbing his beard vigorously.

"Damn it, I actually used the word 'just'. This is really... an eye-opener for me!"

After he finished speaking, Whitebeard swallowed his saliva.

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

With my physique, even if I am weakened by the sea water, I am not something that an ordinary pirate worth 100 or 200 million can resist! "

"Ha ha……"

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

"If I don't even dare to tell you my own voice, how can I dare to tell my voice to everyone in this world?

If I am too embarrassed to even speak out my goals, how can I dare to say that I can definitely achieve my goals?

Newgate, think carefully, there is no person who changes the times and would be a ruthless person who even hides 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? "

"Great!"

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

Time passed minute by minute, until after dozens of seconds of silence, Whitebeard continued with emotion.

"I have lost the qualifications to judge your dream. It is beyond my scope of thinking. I can still talk about peace, happiness and stability.

But unity...

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

As for the old man..."

Whitebeard paused for a moment, then he sighed.

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

"No, not really, be it you, other pirates, the Revolutionary Army, allied and non-allied countries, or even the World Government and the Five Elders.

You are not my enemies, you are just obstacles in my way.

As for who my enemy is?

As far as I am concerned, I have only two enemies.

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

Gawain looked at Whitebeard, he reached out to put out the slightly damp cigarette, and after finding the ashtray, Gawain continued to speak to Whitebeard.

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

In order to push the obstacles out of my way, I must 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 us.

But no matter what, we can be called friends.

So, Newgate, do me a favor, okay?"

"Oh?"

Whitebeard grinned.

“You clearly said that you would remove this obstacle of mine, but you still want me to help you?

Gawain, I can't be like Roger and hand myself over to you to be dragged to the execution ground and have my head chopped off, can I?"

"Haha, how could that be? It's the exact opposite. What I want is not your death, but your continued life!"

Gao Wen finally became serious. Even when 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 ideals are, they are just a distant finish line, and every plan at hand is the studs and shoelaces he needs to organize!

No matter what attitude you take towards your dreams, the end point is always there and never changes.

But if you don't sort out the spikes and tie your shoelaces.

That will fall on the road!

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

Then, Gao Wen said.

“In the next three to five years, I will continue to recruit every strong man in this sea. When I think that my men and I 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 Fishman Island, and I will make sure that no pirate in the four seas can enter the Grand Line!

I will also make sure that no pirate from the Grand Line can enter the New World!

Most importantly, I will seal you and all of your Pirate Emperors in the New World.

You will lose the chance to enter the new world forever!"

"this……?!!"

"Don't interrupt me!"

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

“I have carefully assessed the situation in the world, and in my opinion, the danger posed by bandits is greater than anything else currently.

Those who do not produce anything and live by plundering, the more such people become role models for the world, the more this world will continue to collapse!

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

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

Although it is a bit cruel to say this to you.

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

When you wish your children to grow up healthily, have you ever thought about this?
