I, a Celestial Dragon!

Well, Whitebeard’s fleet can’t really be called colorful, or rather... they are colorful.

Anyway, after standing near Whitebeard and Garp, Gawain gently placed the sword in his hand on the ground.

This staff sword was made by Yixiao for Gawain using gravity over the past three days. The craftsmanship may not be considered to be at the level of a famous sword, but Yixiao has shown his best skills in carving this staff sword.

It’s not that Gao Wen can’t get a good knife, it’s just a knife, and he can find some suitable ones easily.

But at this time, since he had not yet cultivated the Armament Haki, even if he was given a good sword, his sword would only be damaged by Gion, Rayleigh and others who were practicing with him.

So Yixiao used ordinary sword blades and added noble and elegant handles and scabbard carvings to make a batch of temporary knives for Gao Wenxian.

At this moment, Gawain's clothes, which were simple in style, with intricate and beautiful patterns and emblems, and at the same time showed his majesty, were matched with an exquisite and appropriately long staff sword.

It seems that he can more than compete with Garp and Whitebeard.

In terms of image and momentum, he simply surpassed the other two!

So, when Gawain leaned on the sword, although Whitebeard and Garp's men did not say anything, countless onlookers all knelt down and marveled.

"This... this is the real Lord Celestial Dragon!?"

"This momentum... is totally different from the Celestial Dragon Masters we met in the past!"

"Gao Wensheng... is truly extraordinary...!"

"Are they not going to fight again?!"

……

Accompanied by the... quiet but dense whispers coming from afar, Gawain leaned on his sword with both hands and smiled slightly at Whitebeard and Garp.

He just said to Karp.

"Navy hero Garp, are you here to send Whitebeard back to the New World as well?"

"Humph, the word farewell is really absurd. I am here to see him return to the New World and prevent him from harming the civilians of Sabaody Island!"

Garp responded loudly, and just as he finished his words, Whitebeard suddenly stood up.

Holding his 9.9-meter-long Kusunokiri, Whitebeard looked at Garp and said in a deep voice.

"I am not the despicable person you say I am. Even if I have to die on this island, I will not harm any innocent people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Whitebeard turned the Kurogane Kris fiercely and then put it on his shoulder.

Whitebeard said as he gently raised his free left hand.

"Sons, these guys obviously don't welcome us, let's go back to our new world now, Gulala!!!"

Amidst loud laughter, Whitebeard walked straight towards Gawain and his party, and also towards the dock in the distance.

When he came in front of Gawain, he stopped there, then looked at Gawain with a sullen face and said.

"Gao Wensheng, the next time we meet, I'm afraid it will be a matter of life and death between you and me!"

"With great anticipation, Edward Newgate!"

Gawain responded with a smile, and he gently raised his left hand.

Bang...Bang!

The sound of extremely orderly footsteps suddenly sounded from behind Gawain, and the team behind him immediately split to the left and right, leaving a path for Whitebeard and his group.

At the same time, reporters far away were shocked to capture this incredibly neat scene.

They don't know what this uniformity means.

But they knew that the scene shocked them!

Chapter 164 Return to Marinford

Looking at Gawain's men who had separated a path in front of them, Whitebeard took a deep breath.

"You've already developed your style, Gao Wensheng!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Whitebeard carried his Sokumochiri and strode past Gawain.

When he passed Gawain, he suddenly whispered something as he walked.

“You’d better consider my advice!

Otherwise, by the time you grow up to be able to stand in front of me, I will probably be old and dead with only dry bones left!"

“If that happens, after I put down the flowers, I will gently pat your tombstone and announce to the world that only time has defeated the strongest man of the previous era.

The only man defeated by time was Edward Newgate!"

Gawain said solemnly to Whitebeard.

Facing Gawain's answer, Whitebeard laughed with emotion.

At this moment, he felt Gawain's respect for him, Gulala!!!

With loud laughter, Whitebeard walked away with his head held high, and his sons followed him.

Some were holding knives, some were carrying swords, some were holding hammers, and some were wearing shoes.

Although those sons were usually lazy, they were extremely solemn at this moment. They did this to repay Gawain's respect for his father.

Just like that, Whitebeard passed through the coating and boarded his own ship, facing the gazes of countless people.

He did not say any words of nostalgia. Even though he had not been to this island called Chambord for a long time, he would not forget his past and present home.

New world!

Then, in silence, the Moby Dick dived into the water and disappeared completely.

As soon as the Moby Dick left, Cap laughed and waved his hand.

"The old guy has to go back to his hometown eventually, and it's time for me to go home too, haha!

Gone, gone!

Marines, let's go back to Marinford, that's our home!"

After he finished speaking, Garp ignored Gawain and turned away.

Beside Garp, Aokiji and Kizaru smiled at Gawain in their own styles, then they bowed to Gawain and followed Garp's footsteps.

Looking at the backs of Garp and his group, Gawain sighed slowly.

“I don’t know how many times we can experience scenes like this, but there is no doubt that the next experience will not be so leisurely.”

As he spoke, Gawain gently raised his right hand.

"Kalifa, concentrate on purchasing all the supplies needed for the Xuanniao.

Whitebeard has left, Garp has left, so it’s time for us to embark on the road ahead! "

As he finished speaking, Gawain gently raised his sword and struck the ground with it.

"gone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Wen picked up his sword, turned around and walked towards the little black bird.

After they got on the boat and left the sight of countless spectators.

Bai Xing let out a long breath.

"The atmosphere is so tense. I don't know why, but every time I swim, I feel so nervous, afraid that I might make a mistake!"

"Shirahoshi, this mentality of yours won't work. If you want to be a diva, you must learn to adapt to the audience's gaze!"

Uta patted Shirahoshi's tail, then she twirled her hat with interest.

She was used to having two-toned hair in a bun, and the hat made her hair uncomfortable.

While Uta was adjusting his hat, Rayleigh had already lost his posture.

He sat down lazily against the side of the boat, folded his legs together, and put his hands behind his head to support his head.

"Every day that passes is one day less, this feeling of aging, haha!

Whitebeard said he was waiting for you, we know that, but his suggestion..."

Rayleigh smiled and looked up at Gawain.

"The advice that will make you stronger faster, is he suggesting that you eat a devil fruit?"

"Yes."

Gawain leaned on his staff sword in his right hand, put his left hand in his pocket, and looked up at the sky in thought.

"He suggested that I eat a fruit that would allow me to reach the top faster."

"It's a good idea, although I don't like it very much."

Rayleigh sighed.

"Gawain, when you look into the distance, what do you see the most?"

"ocean."

"Yes, it's the sea!"

Having said that, Rayleigh closed his eyes.

“Although I have always considered myself a pirate, whether it was when I went out to sea or when I met Roger.

Whether before or after that, we never considered ourselves pirates!

In our eyes, haha, we are just a group of simple sailors and explorers pursuing freedom and competing on the waves!

How can a true sailor be a person rejected by the sea? "

Rayleigh gently propped up his right leg, then he lay there with his legs crossed, swinging his left leg while smiling.

"In my eyes, anyone who eats a devil fruit is either a marine or a pirate, but they are definitely not worthy of being a pure sailor.

But you, you were never a sailor to begin with."

"So, Mr. Rayleigh, do you also support me eating the devil fruit?"

Gawain asked Rayleigh softly.

In response to Gawain's question, Rayleigh smiled.

“In the past, I didn’t support it because I felt that although your plan was very thorough, it would not be implemented in a short period of time.

How could the dream of changing the times be easily realized in just three to five years?

In that case, it won’t take too long, five or ten years, you will always become a strong person.

When you are young, I will do my best to support your dreams. When I am really old, it will be you who will protect my hopes for the rest of my life.

Because after ten years of training from scratch, you should have at least 50% to 70% of my skills!

However, the facts prove that your steps are slow but steady.

But your sight is too far away!

This time, Whitebeard just doesn't want to kill you.

But if he wants to, he will make up his mind.

You’re dead...!”

Rayleigh opened his eyes suddenly, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“If you don’t go to the New World, or if they don’t leave the New World, then with your status, those who can kill you in the Grand Line and the Four Seas won’t do it, and those who can do it to you won’t be able to kill you.

But facing Whitebeard, if he really wants to kill you...

I can certainly kill him together with Little Peach Rabbit to avenge you, but revenge is the most helpless and useless thing in the world.

So, three days ago, I changed your training habits in an attempt to help you improve your strength faster and earlier.

However, although gradual high-intensity exercise is effective, the duration of this effect is at least three to five years.

That’s a bit slow…”

"indeed!"

On the side, Yixiao nodded slightly.
