I, a Celestial Dragon!

If the child's father chooses to go to sea, no matter how rich the child's life is, the child's childhood will be unhealthy!

And you, you have something that makes my eyes light up, and you are also a role model for almost every young pirate in the world.

In addition to this, you even happen to occupy the entrance and exit to the new world, and your territory is right at that entrance and exit!

I don't need you to do too much for me. When the day comes when I make my decision, you and I will be enemies of life and death.

But I hope you can do me a small favor.

When I was on this side of the Grand Line, blocking you on the other side of the New World.

I hope you can also stand on the side of the New World and block the Navy and the World Government who will definitely take advantage of my opportunity to launch a complete attack on the New World!"

Chapter 150 Conspiracy

On the side, listening to Gawain's words, Whitebeard took a deep breath.

"Have your eyes seen so far into the future?"

"I can't see it, Newgate."

Gawain shook his head calmly.

“In fact, I know very little, and I haven’t learned much knowledge that can be applied to the present moment.

This is true for each of us. We all have our strengths and weaknesses.

Whether it is culture and education, economics, or military affairs, I only have a superficial understanding of them.

But I know how to read situations, and I know how to use people, Newgate."

Having said that, Gawain raised his hands and gently gestured to Whitebeard.

"If you heard what I said before, you should be able to imagine that when I decided to kill all the pirates in the Grand Line, the countries in the Grand Line area must have celebrated.

But both you and the navy will face tremendous pressure!

I'm sorry to you, but you will lose new blood. Without the constant supply of outstanding young people from all over the world to replenish you, your future is destined to be cut off in my era.

As for the Navy...

If I really did everything I planned, they would be faced with an extremely embarrassing situation.

The pirates in the four seas are too weak, so there is no need for them to accumulate too many troops.

And the Grand Line lost enough prey, leaving them unable to fill their stomachs!

By then, if they do not want to face the fate of being disarmed, they will have only two options.

One is to transform into a real army and become a weapon in the hands of the world government, pointing its spearhead at countries around the world.

As for why I am not targeting the countries on the Grand Route, it’s because this is my territory!

But the possibility of this happening is too small. The world government has been lenient towards countries around the world for seven hundred years. People who do one thing for too long cannot do other things well, and they don't want to change their past practices.

So by that time, whether it is the World Government or the Navy, their eyes will eventually be on their old rivals.

That is, on you!"

Gao Wen flicked the ash lightly, exhaled a puff of smoke, and slowly shook his head.

"In this way, my future is very clear. Letting you and the Navy, CP and other departments fight each other will also be of great benefit to me.

No matter who of you disappears, it means one less obstacle in front of me.

But from my point of view, when you, the pirates who are pursuing freedom in other people's stories, go to war with the navy and the world government that people are deeply dissatisfied with.

You lost, but you actually won because you became tragic heroes who resisted the tyranny of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, but ultimately suffered a miserable defeat.

And your stories will at least be remembered by people of the current era and will have an impact on at least the next two generations!

And if you win...

The one who raises the first flag will not be me, but you.

Because you defeated the World Government, overthrew the old rule of the Celestial Dragons and the Five Elders, and became true heroes in everyone's eyes.

But in my eyes, neither of these two points is a future that will satisfy me enough!"

Hearing Gawain's words, Newgate's eyes widened even wider, he burst into laughter, and then said.

"So according to you, Gawain, I can't even pursue victory?

Who do you think you are and who am I!

You are a Celestial Dragon, and I am a pirate!"

"Yes, I am a Celestial Dragon and you are a pirate, but strangely, we both have almost the same goals!"

Gawain looked into Whitebeard's eyes with a smile. Facing Whitebeard's usual heroic smile, Gawain shrugged lightly and said.

"What is your purpose, Newgate? At the age of 69, do you still want to become the Pirate King?"

"What does this have to do with the plan you mentioned!" White Beard asked with a grin.

Gawain chuckled in response.

"It's just a question. After listening to my plan, you won't even want to tell me the answer to this kind of question, will you?"

"Hmph, if I wanted to become the Pirate King, then twenty years ago, it wouldn't have been Roger's turn to be the Pirate King!" Whitebeard raised his head slightly and said confidently.

Listening to Whitebeard's words, Gawain nodded with satisfaction.

"See, now we have something in common.

That means you don't even bother to be the Pirate King, and the same goes for me."

“Gulala, Gawain, your joke has burned away all my anger.

How can you be the Pirate King? Seriously!"

Whitebeard relaxed his brows slightly, waiting for Gawain's words.

And Gawain, he nodded slightly and continued.

"That's not our common point. Our real common point is that we are all pursuing stability!"

Having said that, Gawain went to the side to get some wine. The deadlock in this conversation had passed, and next he needed to create a good atmosphere with Whitebeard.

He handed the drink to Whitebeard, who then reached out and picked up the small wine glass, and they clinked glasses.

Putting down the cup, Gawain continued.

“The reason why I need stability is because I need enough time to sort out the Grand Route.

Not to mention that it would take enough time to wipe out all the pirates on the Grand Line.

Even if I really wiped out all the pirates in the Grand Line, my actions on the Grand Line have only just begun.

In my eyes, killing is the lowest and simplest means.

In addition to that, I need enough manpower to contact the various islands in the Grand Line.

I need enough money and jobs to improve the living standards of the people on the islands, while also allowing them to gradually understand and accept the arrival of a new era.

To do all this, I need some time, during which time the world situation must be stable enough, and that is what I have always mentioned, where you can help me.

From my perspective, I will do my best to suppress the Navy and the World Government's desire to attack the New World.

But in the New World, if we want to maintain the pirate situation and ensure that the pirates do not take the initiative to gather and start a decisive battle with the navy or me.

The four of you will never be able to completely unite together!

So I won’t just talk to you about these things.

Later, before I fully start my plan, I will meet with each of you four emperors.

I will use this to seek cooperation with you!"

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and after Whitebeard was silent for a while, Gawain continued.

“Just think about it, Newgate, you have long given up on competing for the Pirate King throne, so why do you insist on staying on your ship?

I think you must be doing this for your sons, and also for the forty-three crew members of the Whitebeard Fleet who have taken refuge under you and call you Dad.

At the same time, you are doing it for your hometown.

Only stability can keep everything you love going, and the relatively good results I want also require a sufficiently stable situation as a prerequisite.

None of us looked forward to war, none of us looked forward to the decisive final battle, Newgate.

This is what we have in common!”

Gawain poured another glass of wine, and he and Whitebeard clinked their glasses gently.

But after drinking the glass of wine, White Beard took a deep breath.

"so……"

Whitebeard said thoughtfully.

"In your plan, it seems that no matter whether I agree to cooperate with you or not, I have no choice but to follow the path you pointed out for me.

After all, once the situation becomes what you said, there are only two choices I can make.

Either I call on all pirates to fight to the death in my capacity, or I cooperate with you as you said, and when you suppress the pirates, I will prevent the Four Emperors from completely gathering together. "

Having said that, Newgate shook his head slightly.

“But in fact, Gawain, I only had one choice from the beginning, because I’m a pirate!

Even if pirates are just a shameful term in your mouth, in my heart, it is the past of me and my sons, and everything to me!

Yes, I do love my sons dearly, and I really don’t want them to accompany me in launching the final charge against the navy with an unknown outcome.

But don't forget, I have a white beard!

When I was very young, my hometown lost the protection from the world government because it could not afford to pay the heavenly gold.

Although there was no Great Pirate Era at that time, pirates in the New World were not as rampant as they are now.

But even so, we who cannot afford to pay the gold from heaven have become another lawless area in the new world!

Because there were no troops stationed there, my hometown soon became a gathering place for criminals, and then it became a lawless place.

At that time, I was just like other children and completely lost my smile!

So, remember this, Gawain!

The reason why I want to protect the smiles of all the children in the world is because I have felt enough pain brought to me by the World Government, Tenshojin, and you Celestial Dragons!

So, I only have one choice!

If there ever comes a day when you block the Grand Route.

Then I am destined to fight you to the death on the Red Earth Continent for the future of pirates!"

As soon as he finished speaking, White Beard stood up, wrapped in a bath towel, and picked up the wine jug.

After drinking the wine in the pot in big gulps, Whitebeard turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, Gawain smiled.

"Newgate, please sit down for a moment!"

He called out to Whitebeard.

Hearing this, Whitebeard finally stopped and turned to look at Gawain.

Facing Whitebeard's eyes that were neither hot nor cold, but which showed a strong ambition brewing, Gawain smiled.

"You confuse a vital point, my friend.

That is, the world government is your enemy!

It was the World Government that destroyed your hometown, and it will also be the World Government that will attack you in the future!

Think carefully, what did I do to you during this process? "

"Haha, Gawain, just based on this plan to eradicate all pirates in the Grand Line, you might as well tell me what you did to the pirates!"

Hearing this, Whitebeard simply sat down again, and the two figures, one tall and one short, confronted each other in the hot spring again.

Looking at the white beard in front of him, Gawain smiled and waved his hand.

"Look, here comes the interesting thing. Isn't what I'm going to do what you've been doing all along?"
