I, a Celestial Dragon!

People like you and Joyboy, no matter who you are, whether you are giants or celestial dragons!

You all have the power to make people believe!"

After Mr. Rayleigh finished speaking, he suddenly began to sing his favorite One Piece song, which is Roger's song.

The next moment, Master Gawain and his apprentice were lying on the gold, humming a happy song together.

On the side, Uta also got over her shock and started humming along.

Gradually, the temple was filled with the sound of music.

Outside the temple...

Along with the sound of the temple appearing, the four priests kneeling outside and all the members of the God's Army slowly gathered together.

Their expressions became more and more nervous!

What are those gods from Qinghai doing? Is it some extremely evil ritual?

What will they do to me next? Will I be used as a sacrifice?

People are like this, the more they think, the more outrageous it becomes. Before Gawain and his group could finish singing, two members of the God's Army directly used the Flame Shell to kill themselves.

Along with their wailing, the singing in the temple gradually stopped. Gawain and his companions listened helplessly to the wailing coming from afar, ending the song that seemed to be a commemoration or an inspiration to themselves.

Gao Wen looked around, then he let go of old man Rayleigh's shoulder and said.

“The old man told a great story, it almost satisfied all my curiosity about this sea, haha.

But those secrets only go so far!"

Having said this, Gao Wen's eyes became more confident, and he also looked around.

After making eye contact with everyone, Gao Wen said solemnly.

“I admire Joy Boy’s ideals, whether it’s liberating slaves or unifying the entire ocean, that’s what I want to do.

But I don't like his way!

Can we satisfy all the lives in the world just by gathering the leaders of various races?

How can it be!

If we want to unify the world, the most important thing we should do is to satisfy all the civilians!

I still stick to my methods, using the sea train as a base, starting from satisfying and improving the living standards of civilians, and gradually forming a trend of invading and transforming the world!

What do you think? "

Gawain looked solemnly at everyone in the temple, and everyone immediately gave their answers.

Rayleigh was the first to speak.

"Of course I have no objection. After all, we have no chance to carry out Joey Boy's plan even if we want to, haha!

That thing requires the Nika Fruit!

Even Roger could only use his death to ignite the waves of the ocean and build momentum for the possible appearance of Joyboy in the future.

So, we can’t be Joyboy!”

Chapter 195 Poor God Ganfor

As soon as Rayleigh finished speaking, Hancock beside him shook his head in disdain.

“I only support Lord Gawain, I don’t care what that Joyboy does.

I haven't met Joy Boy, so why should I trust him?

On the contrary, adults give me a greater sense of security!"

"Yes."

Gion also nodded.

"I don't care what's on the final island, and I don't care what they're about.

I don’t care how the sea became what it is today!

I only care about what changes we will bring to the ocean!

Instead of waiting for Joyboy and his plans to show up at some unknown time, shouldn't we just do what we are doing now?

That’s why I joined the navy, and that’s why I’m following you now!”

After he finished speaking, Gion looked at Shiryu and Jinbe not far away.

Facing Gion's gaze, Shiryu and Jinbe shook their heads in unison.

"If Joyboy is really as happy as old man Rayleigh said, then he definitely won't allow me to kill people to my heart's content!"

Xiliu said simply as he bowed to Gawain.

"Only a captain like you who is broad-minded and can make good use of every blade can let me chop to my heart's content!"

"Xilu, you are a really nice person, but your hobby is really annoying.

I am different from you. Now that I have followed you, sir, there is no way I will step onto another ship!

Even if you personally ask me to lend it to another team, I will never agree!"

Sea Knight said very solemnly!

On the side, hearing Jinbei's words, Rayleigh smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

"Jinbei, you're not expressing your opinion, you're obviously implying Oden, haha!"

“If the old man thinks so, then so be it.

I just sighed, what kind of hero is that, to actually do such a thing as mutiny, haha!"

Jinbei sneered, then picked up the wine jug and toasted Takafumi.

And Rayleigh, looking at Jinbei's expression, sighed slowly.

“Well, speaking of Oden, he was indeed a bit inappropriate towards Whitebeard back then.

After all, Whitebeard valued him very much. On Whitebeard's ship, Oden was the only one who had the title of Whitebeard's younger brother and vice-captain.

As for Roger and Whitebeard's request to lend him the money, it would be fine if Whitebeard agreed.

Newgate didn't agree at all, but Oden himself proposed to follow Roger, which is a bit...ah."

Rayleigh shook his head slightly.

“No matter what, Oden’s help to our pirate group is really huge.

I will never forget the kindness he showed me back then.

As for Oden himself, after our Roger crew disbanded, he did not return to Whitebeard's ship. I guess he felt guilty about it.

As for later…"

For the first time, Rayleigh took out a cigarette from Xia Qi's arms, lit it, and muttered while taking a puff of smoke.

"Later, he died in Wano Country, at the hands of Kaido...

But the old man...

When we got the news from the closed country of Wano, Oden had been dead for four years. Even when he was determined to defeat Kaido, he didn't even say a word to us old friends.

Although I want to avenge him, if I take action, whether I can defeat Kaido is another matter. If I move, all my other friends will be put in danger!"

Having said that, Rayleigh looked at Gawain with a wry smile.

“If you didn’t have the identity of a Celestial Dragon, the best I could do is teach you a little bit about the application of Conqueror’s Haki.

It is precisely because of your identity as a Celestial Dragon that I can go out to sea without my friends being hunted down by the navy.

That's why I reluctantly boarded your pirate ship, boy."

"Old man, this is not a pirate ship, this is a ship of the future that is a mixture of all levels and all forces.

Navy, Impel Down, Pirates, Seven Warlords of the Sea, Revolutionary Army, Civilian Ronin, Entertainment Industry, Celestial Dragons, Fishmen.

In the future, we will create a fur tribe, giants and the like.

Then we are a small experimental field that brings together all the forces and races in the world!"

Gawain responded to Rayleigh solemnly, and then he continued his story.

“And this is what I have been advocating all along. You on the Xuanniao have different identities, different personalities and hobbies, and even different positions.

Well, as long as my decision is acceptable to you, then I can almost certainly make it acceptable to the common people of all races and countries around the world.

You are my partners and my testing ground, guys.

So in the future, if you have any different opinions about any of my decisions, please make them clear to me as much as possible.

Seeking common ground while reserving differences is the wise thing to do, isn’t it? "

Having said this, Gawain nodded slightly to everyone, and everyone responded to Gawain with a smile.

Looking at the smiles of approval on everyone's faces, Gao Wen smiled and waved his hand.

"Let's stop here today. I see some of those guys outside the temple have started to commit suicide.

How can this be possible? We are not devils, haha.

Let’s go, let’s sort out the government of Sky Island first!

Xiliu, please hang our flag at the highest point of this island!"

"As ordered!"

Xiliu nodded, holding a cigar in his mouth, and then he took the large banner handed to him by Kalifa.

After Xiliu left with the flag, Gawain also walked out of the temple with everyone else and came to the courtyard of the temple.

Glancing at the burning corpse in the distance, Gawain frowned and pointed at the corpse.

"In a country where theocracy is the central authority and faith is the means of ruling, it is easy for such fools to be everywhere!

A leader and his team who can only rule by relying on the ignorance and stupidity of the people must have deficiencies in their own abilities!

We must make our people smarter and at the same time bring them material and spiritual satisfaction!

Such a country is worthy of our expectations and our efforts!"

After he finished speaking, Gawain waved to the priests who were kneeling in front of everyone.

"You four, come here!"

“Yes!!!”×4.

All of a sudden, the four of them crawled in front of Gawain.

Looking at the four embarrassed figures of them, Gao Wen smiled softly at them and said.

"I heard from McKinley that the four of you followed Enelu into the temple three years ago?"

"Yes, my lord!"

The chubby Daogu answered immediately.

"We have been here for three years, but we are not his die-hard fans. We and Enel are sworn enemies!

That guy Enel destroyed our hometown, Bika, five years ago. There were only fifty or so of us who survived in the entire Bika!

Then he tortured us desperately and forced us to learn the Heart Net. Then he used us as the vanguard and forced us to attack the Island of Gods and the God Ganfor!"

After saying that, Daogu kowtowed heavily, and his head directly broke the floor.

"We really didn't know that Ganfort had a friend like you, we...we have confessed!

From now on, we will believe in you, you are our true God!

We will follow your lead!"

"Ha ha……"

Hearing these words, Gao Wen laughed unceremoniously, and while laughing, he shook his head in boredom.

"Do I need your faith? Or, what can your faith bring to me?
