I, a Celestial Dragon!

As a result, their kingdom lost the battle and was broken up, and now only the Vinsmoke family is left.

But even with the decline to this point, even Vinsmoke Judge has lost his country.

Their Vinsmoke family could also have a run-in with the Big Moms.

Although they have a high probability of losing, the fact that they are able to compete with the Big Mom Group already makes them a top team on the ocean.

So one can imagine how powerful the Germa Kingdom was during its heyday.

Just think about it, the Germa Kingdom, which was so powerful back then, was actually torn apart by the people of the North Sea...

Think about it again, the World Government recruited two great generals, Fujitora and Green Bull, in just a few months.

So how many powerful people are there hiding in the countries around the world?

Looking at it this way, don’t you suddenly realize that the water in the world is too deep!

The East China Sea is really special. Apart from the East China Sea, which of the other three seas cannot clash with the Four Emperors?

This is why the Five Elders on the Marijoa side have never wanted to start a war against the whole world again, and this is also the reason why the Celestial Dragons have always maintained the path of corrupting various countries.

This is also the reason why Crocodile made the suggestion.

At the same time, Crocodile also said at the right time.

"Yes, sir, the Flower Kingdom in the West Sea and the hostile Grass Kingdom are both large forces worth winning over and controlling.

What's more, there are several countries in the West Sea that are in direct confrontation with the Flower Country and the Grass Country.

If we had gone to the West Sea instead of the East Sea.

With your status and the strength of our cadres, we can very likely turn those countries into the present-day Alabasta one by one and make them our strength! "

When he said this, Crocodile felt a little bit of anticipation. As for him now, he no longer had the desire to stir up trouble.

He has let it go!

Compared to being the Pirate King, if he could help Gawain become one of the Five Elders, or even create a higher situation.

With most of the officers on the ship already in their twilight years, it is entirely possible for him, a key subordinate who has not yet reached his peak, to rise to the position of Admiral of the Navy or even Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces!

This status is at least much safer for Crocodile than that of the Pirate King.

Therefore, now he has really been planning for the future from Gao Wen's perspective!

On the side, listening to Crocodile's advice, Gawain thought silently for a moment.

He was not considering the feasibility of Crocodile's plan anymore because he knew that Crocodile was right.

But Crocodile didn't know that the reason why Gawain went to the East China Sea was not just to occupy some territory and power!

Now, Gawain just wants to walk the destiny path that the future child of destiny will walk, and by the way, clear the territory on Luffy's route!

Gawain wanted to know what would happen if he managed the East China Sea and the Grand Route into a flawless and peaceful place without any darkness.

By then, what will be the fate of Luffy, who has no enemies along the way?

Kill monsters and level up?

nonexistent!

Gawain had long been determined to create a smooth route for Luffy to the New World through his own reforms!

Gawain even wanted Luffy to take the sea train directly from Windmill Village to Shampoo Land, which would take no more than thirty days!

Is it possible that the child of destiny will give up his plan to become a pirate?

impossible!

Then it would be strange for Gawain if the Man of Destiny was missing both his destined crew and his destined enemy.

What kind of new fate will Luffy have, who has not experienced any war, has not made any significant improvement in strength, and entered the New World two years earlier!

This is not just a game, but a war that is most important to Gawain!

That is the war between him and the fate of the pirate world!

Even if Gawain had arranged Luffy so well, even if Luffy slipped directly into the New World, he could still have the strength to defeat the King of the Sea and directly leap to the awakening of the fruit and evolve into the Nika form.

Then Gao Wen's challenge is a bit big...

Because that means that fate is giving the child of destiny unlimited cheats...

But if Luffy took the train all the way to the New World, he would just become one of the crowd in the New World.

Or even if he cheats a little, it would be difficult for him to reach the level of the original plot.

Then the challenge Gawain needs to face will be much smaller.

Challenge the world's allied countries, challenge the Five Elders and Im?

That is a political and military challenge.

But challenge fate...

That seems much more tragic...

However, although Gawain knew that this was what he thought in the future, he could not say this to Crocodile.

For this subordinate who is different from Jinbe and has always occupied the higher IQ, he must come up with a reasonable explanation in order to achieve his goal while maintaining Crocodile's subjective initiative.

So Gao Wensi briefly said.

"Crocodile, what do you think is the key point of our planned reforms?

Is it strength?

"Strength is of course important, but since you said so, my lord, strength should not be the absolute focus in your mind!"

Crocodile responded softly.

Hearing this, Gawain patted Crocodile on the shoulder.

"Strength is one of the necessary conditions for our plan, but it is only one of them.

Our goal is to mobilize the whole world to accept our opinions, rather than forcing them to accept our opinions by force!

If we force them, we can certainly take the road to the West Sea or the North Sea. No matter which ocean we control, our hard power will skyrocket.

But whether it is the West Sea or the North Sea, their significance to the sea, especially in terms of propaganda and guidance, is not as great as that of the East Sea!"

Gao Wen took out a cigarette and started smoking it.

He didn't give it to Crocodile because Crocodile was holding a cigar.

Speaking of which, between Crocodile and Smoker, who is the smoker?

Smoker doesn't smoke cigars for much of the anime.

But Crocodile, in the anime and comics, his cigars almost never disappear...

Let's get back to the topic. Gao Wen exhaled a puff of smoke and continued.

"The East China Sea is an ocean that attracts global attention.

For pirates, this is the hometown of One Piece.

For the navy, this is the hometown of the naval hero, Garp, who is equivalent to the navy king.

As for the Revolutionary Army, this is also the hometown of its leader, Dragon!

Once there is any big news in the East China Sea, the possibility of this news spreading throughout the world and generating guidance is far more eye-catching than news happening in other oceans.

That’s why I chose the East China Sea as my destination!”

On the side, after hearing Gawain's words, Crocodile nodded in understanding.

After thinking about it, he even took the initiative to fill in some details for Gawain!

He just said it with understanding.

"I understand, sir. The reason you chose the East China Sea is to set a striking example for the whole world.

If we control those large countries one by one, such as the Flower Kingdom.

Although this will increase our hard power, it will also make most of the member states wary.

But if we set our target on the East China Sea, we don't need to make a big fuss, we can quietly control this weakest sea in secret!

Controlling the weakest sea, the East China Sea, is far from enough to alert other countries. After all, everyone knows that the East China Sea is too weak! "

At this point, Crocodile gave Gawain a look of admiration.

"As expected of you, my Lord, your vision is much more far-sighted than mine!

I feel ashamed of myself and would rather admit defeat!"

Chapter 281 Dragon’s call!

Listening to Crocodile's slightly Divine statement, Gawain narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.

"You are right, Crocodile. In some aspects, the East China Sea has special advantages that the other four seas do not have!"

Gawain raised his right hand, and lightning continued to condense in his hand, and then evolved into the general appearance of the planet today.

That is, the New World and the Grand Line divided the planet into two, and then the ocean currents cut it into four seas.

At the same time, Gawain's armed color quietly climbed onto the Thunder Planet, dyeing the Alabasta route of the Grand Line into a deep black.

Gao Wen continued at the right time.

“What we are going to do is something new that has never happened on the sea.

Although both you and I firmly believe that it is right.

But for ordinary people all over the world, the new life that they have never come into contact with and experienced personally may not be something worth looking forward to.

Many people in the world are pessimistic about the unknown.

In particular, no matter what kind of predicament we are in, a comfort zone will always appear around us...

Even if we were thrown into concentration camps, when we were suffering unbearable torture, when we were facing a life of hunger.

Perhaps at night, even the little moonlight coming through the small window of the prison can bring us brief sweetness while becoming our comfort zone in hell.

At this time, if we were about to be transferred to a luxurious single-person concentration camp, no matter how beautiful others described the place we were about to arrive at, we would tremble on the way.

At that time, we will be afraid of the unknown future and painfully miss the moonlight in hell.

Humans are like this, we will always find our own comfort zone in different environments!"

“Hiss…!”

"Ouch!"

"Well……"

Gawain's words shocked Crocodile for more than a moment.

Big Bear and Robin behind him were distracted for a moment, then quickly took out paper and pen to write it down!

While Big Bear and the other man were recording rapidly, Gawain did not stop talking. He continued to speak softly to Crocodile with his curved, clear eyes like the bright moon.

"Now, we are bringing an unknown life to the world.

No matter how we claim to make people live, we are actually forcibly disrupting their existing rhythm of life and driving them out of their current comfort zone!

If we are to face resistance and opposition from the whole world in the future, we must not blame or even hate those who regard us as enemies.

We can pity their ignorance, but we cannot laugh at their short-sightedness, because our vision is not at the same level as theirs from the beginning.

We cannot develop a bad impression towards others just because they don’t understand us.

What we need to do is to find ways to make them understand as much as possible!"

Gawain raised his hand and snapped his fingers crisply, accompanied by the sound of thunder.

“Remember, when people don’t agree with our description of the future, it’s the fault of you and me, the superiors, for not being able to make them understand in a better way!

And if people don't approve of the changes we've made to them, that's still the fault of you and me in power, and it's even worse than the last one.

Because if we have changed their lives and they still don’t recognize us, it’s not that they don’t understand us, it’s that we don’t understand them.”

Having said that, Gawain gently patted Crocodile's shoulder.
