I, a Celestial Dragon!

“Before I put on this uniform, I was just a newcomer on board and didn’t have much experience.

But now, looking at this neat array of colors before our eyes, we think back to what we want to accomplish.

I don't know why, but I feel the same sense of urgency as Mr. Rayleigh! "

As soon as he finished speaking, he grinned, revealing an expectant smile.

"Maybe this is the feeling of finding your true dream, that is, you don't want to stop for even a moment!"

"Of course I don't want to stay. I am also looking forward to seeing how delicious the blood of other islands and other races will be!"

Xiliu placed his left hand on Lei Yu, chewed his cigar gently, and took over Yixiao's words.

And Gawain, listening to the voices of the crowd, smiled slightly.

"So, after all, it's my strength that makes everyone worried."

"No, your strength doesn't make us worry, it makes us feel guilty, sir!"

As Gion spoke, he gently straightened Gawain's collar.

"Oh?"

Gao Wen turned his head to look, and Gion smiled and said.

"If I and everyone else can be stronger, you will be safer, right?"

"That's not what you said!"

As soon as Gion finished speaking, Rayleigh suddenly got up from the ground. After standing firmly, he took off his glasses and wiped them gently.

While wiping, Rayleigh smiled bitterly.

“If there were ten old men standing together, those ten old men could easily kill every general or four emperor in the world.

But with the physical strength of those monsters like the admirals and the four emperors, they only need to withstand the pressure and danger for a moment, and they can force their way out of the blockade of ten old men and kill you, little Gawain!

Of course, that doesn’t mean that I can’t protect you or stop you. I can still carry you and run away.

If you don’t like being held, I can still carry you on my back and run away, right?

But the point is…”

Rayleigh paused for a moment, put his glasses back on his face after wiping them, then looked at Gawain and said jokingly.

"The point is, are you willing to face those guys whose domineering aura and momentum are far inferior to yours in such an embarrassing manner?

Just because they are stronger than you are now?

Well, maybe you are willing to do so. You are really very rational. If you can have both life and dignity, you would like to have both. If you cannot have both, then you would definitely choose to die, right?

But it’s good for me and for everyone…”

Rayleigh looked around, his eyes flickering over everyone.

Then he looked at Gao Wen and said solemnly.

"You are the person that everyone respects the most. We wish we could be several times stronger so that we can protect your ideals and life while also protecting your dignity and ours!"

Rayleigh slowly put his arm around Gawain's shoulders.

"Boy, you are no longer alone!

You say we are your strength, but do you know?

Your thoughts are also the strength that supports us!

So, get stronger as quickly as possible!

Your plan can be steady and solid because you have to consider stability and all aspects.

Only you can sort out those things that we simply cannot fully understand!

But your strength must be one step ahead of your plan, so that you can reach the top of the sea earlier.

Even if you don't reach the pinnacle, you must at least reach the level of Little Hancock or Jinbei as quickly as possible!

Because you need to at least have their strength to be able to withstand one to three moves from the monsters.

Only then, when facing the other four emperors or other monster groups, can our forces truly fight with peace of mind! "

Rayleigh patted Gawain's shoulder gently.

"This is just some old stuff that I want to tell you on behalf of everyone.

If the flag on our ship could represent the hope of this ocean.

Then you are our flag.

We want to promote you to the highest level so badly..."

For a moment, Rayleigh's words made everyone silent. When Gawain looked at them, the heat in their eyes made Gawain take a deep breath.

"I see!"

Gao Wen said solemnly.

It happened that the little Xuanniao had returned to the Xuanniao, so Gawain patted Rayleigh on the shoulder.

“I will improve as soon as possible, no matter what method I use.

You have placed high hopes on me, so how can I not respond? "

After he finished speaking, Gawain thought for a moment and boarded the elevator, and everyone followed him back to the deck of the Xuanniao.

They walked all the way to the lounge area, and after Gawain sat down, he knocked on the table with his wine glass.

“After a while, when Kalifa has finished her supplies, we will head to the Seven Water City, and then go to the Long Ring Island through the Seven Water City.

From now on, everyone should prepare for the voyage! "

As soon as Gawain finished speaking, Rayleigh gave him a puzzled look.

"Wait, little Gao Wen, you haven't responded directly to my expectations!

You can't keep me in suspense like this!

Even if you don't plan to eat the fruit, you can just say it directly, "I didn't eat the fruit," and I will support you.

And if you plan to use devil fruits, you Marijoa must have a lot of good ones hidden, right?

You should ask the Five Elders for it!

They are your elders too, so they must find you a fruit as powerful as a god, right?

Please give us an answer, we have been waiting for so long!"

On the side, looking at Rayleigh's talkative appearance, Gawain chuckled softly.

Then he shook his head.

“Forget about the Five Elders. I have my own way of getting along with those five seniors.

No matter how powerful the fruit is, it will not be a reason for me to contact them.

The conversation that took place between me and them could only have a significant impact on this sea.

And the devil fruit and my personal power..."

Gawain knocked lightly on the table.

“Anyway, I had a plan in mind, and there happened to be a very good fruit very close to me.

Let's proceed according to the current plan and go to Changhuan Island to establish the first hydrological observation station and preparatory train station for the journey.

That’s very close to my goal!”

After saying that, Gawain smiled and waved to everyone.

“I think everyone should be relieved after hearing this.

You guys are really different from what I thought. I thought you would be more concerned about my thoughts and my way of governing.

But I didn't expect that what you cared about from beginning to end was my strength.

But anyway, thank you for your concern, everyone!"

Speaking of this, Gao Wen really felt very happy.

Is it because everyone cares about you sincerely?

That's just part of it, not all of it.

What makes Gawain feel happier is the political environment in the pirate world!

If it were the world before the time travel, no matter how perfect the team was, they would still argue over various issues.

But in the world of pirates, no subordinates care about your political ideas, and no one will argue with you about this or that issue.

They only care about two things.

1. Do your ideals match their ideals?

Second, are you strong enough?

Thinking of this, Gao Wen smiled leisurely.

I can only say that this is worthy of being a world of pirates, and it is also worthy of being an extraordinary world!

While Gawain was thinking, everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief.

Three or four days ago, Gawain was almost ambushed, which made everyone feel ashamed and worried, and they lost their appetite!

As long as Whitebeard was still here, they held back and didn't say anything.

But when Whitebeard left, they finally couldn't bear it anymore.

No one dared to think about what would happen to them if Gawain suddenly passed away.

For Rayleigh, he has returned to the arena. Without Gawain, Rayleigh not only has lost his expectations, but also has to face countless troubles and dangers.

As for Gion and Shiryu, who had jumped out of their respective forces, if they lost Gawain, even if they could return to their original forces, they would forever lose the possibility of moving forward.

Now that Gawain is gone, Jinbe's clan and hometown will be in danger, and the Empress may even leave with Gawain.

There are other people, except Uta, almost everyone has some connection with Gawain.

Some people think that this may be the art of employing people.

But employing people is employing yourself, so how can there be no feelings?

……

After everyone was silent for a long time, a large group of pigeons flew out of the forest and hovered around Lucci.

It was not until this moment that the atmosphere among the crowd changed back to normal.

Shirahoshi continued to play, Uta continued to practice her voice, and at the same time, Gion spoke to Gawain.

“Sir, before we go to the Seven Waters Capital to make the long circuit around the island, can we go to Marinfodo first?

I still have a few knives from my collection that remain there.

Among them is a large sharp knife with a length of 21, which I used when I was a child. I want to give it to you as a gift!"

Chapter 165: The Disaster of Marinford

Nine hours later, Malinford.

Zhan Guo stood at the door of the office with a stiff expression, looking at the sea in the distance that was completely obscured by shadows.

I saw him rubbing his hands slowly.

"I've heard that this ship is really big, but I really didn't expect it to be this big!"

After he finished speaking, Zhan Guo sighed, and then, just like last time, he called the lieutenant generals who were still in Mary Geoise one by one.

Ten minutes later, Zhan Guo, Borsalino, who had just returned, and a group of lieutenant generals were waiting at the dock.

As for Garp and Aokiji...

They had just returned two hours ago and left right after, the same old thing.

Among the three admirals, Sakaski has to be stationed at the headquarters, so his range of activities is mainly in a small part of the New World and on the routes connecting the two grand routes of Marinford.
