I, a Celestial Dragon!

On the ground, Smoker and Tashigi had just breathed a sigh of relief when they were frightened by Gawain's sudden pause.

Smoker mustered up his courage and whispered to Gawain.

"Gao Wensheng, what happened?"

"Oh, it's okay..."

Gawain commented with a smile as he rubbed Smoker's bald hairdo.

“Like grass.”

"what?"

"Hey?"

At this moment, Smoker and Tashigi looked at each other, while Gawain strode to the captain's room of the warship and carried out a chair.

Looking at Gawain sitting in the middle of the deck, Smoker didn't dare to say anything. He quickly led Tashigi to tie up all the pirates around them.

Not long after, Smoker brought Tashigi back to Gawain.

“Gao Wensheng, there are 5,422 pirates in total. Our warships cannot accommodate them, and our crews cannot directly take them back to Rogue Town.

So, I plan to take one of them away and leave a group of crew members to guard them. Do you think this is appropriate..."

"I don't think that's appropriate, Smoker."

Gawain waved his hand gently, interrupting Smoker's words.

“How about this, my subordinates will cross the Red Earth Continent with the Xuanniao later, and then, let my crew help you deal with these criminals.

Take me with your warship to the location of Upside Down Mountain, and wait for my subordinates to deal with it here."

After saying that, Gawain waved his hand gently and pointed his finger towards the location of the Upside-Down Mountain. Seeing Gawain's action, Smoker nodded in understanding.

"As you command, Gao Wensheng."

After saying that, Smoker immediately went down to make arrangements. Gawain looked at Tashigi beside Smoker and smiled meaningfully.

A girl who is a little off the mark, but looks and has the same aspirations as Kuina.

Tsk tsk, this girl will play a very important role in some aspects.

……

In the distance, near the Upside-Down Mountain, a large shadow completely covered the nearby sea.

Under the shadow, Bai Xing was lying on the huge Lab, waving his hands at the sky.

"The black bird is taking off~~~~."

This is what Little White Star is shouting, as childish as always, but especially cute.

Only the Xuanniao she mentioned...

In the sky, on the deck of the Xuanniao, Rayleigh stood in front of everyone, looking at the East China Sea and laughing amusedly.

"According to Xia Qi's information, that old guy Garp is still staying in Windmill Village.

The last time we met, I had a drink with this old guy, so the next time we meet, it will be time for me to beat him up!

I must let him know what the price is for playing tricks on an old friend! "

After he finished speaking, Rayleigh turned around and gave the crew an expectant smile.

"Everyone, this fight between me and Garp, you all must help!

Little rabbit, don't side with Garp, understand!"

"Don't worry, old man~."

Gion made an OK gesture to Rayleigh.

“Although Capu-chan is my elder, you are also the elder of Gawain and me.

Therefore, I am not targeting people but the matter!"

After saying this, Gion couldn't help but let out a snicker.

Beat up Karp-chan?

She has been looking forward to this for a long time, after all, Garp-chan is the navy's only hero flag.

I also want to have a good fight with Cap-chan!!!

On the side, behind Gion, Iska couldn't help but pursed his lips.

Of course she knew old man Karp. He was a very heroic and powerful old man.

However, no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot face the Xuanniao's lineup on his own.

For a moment, Iska couldn't help but pray for Garp.

And just as Iska was praying with a chuckle, Crocodile took out the cigar from his mouth and spoke softly.

"I haven't seen the East China Sea for a long time, haha, it's really interesting.

The last time I came to the East China Sea was when the Pirate King Roger was executed. At that time, I was at the execution platform, watching..."

When he said this, Crocodile suddenly realized something, and he immediately looked at Ace not far away.

Then he pursed his lips and whispered to Ace.

"Sorry, kid, I forgot something."

"fine!"

Ace looked very calm. Faced with the story of his biological father being murdered, he did not show any sadness.

“I never met Roger, nor was I taught a day by him.

Sometimes I can’t help but wonder, who deserves the title of father more, the one who gave birth to me or the one who raised me.

I have thought about this question for a long time, and now I have already understood a truth.

The truth is, the person who gave birth to me must be my mother, and the person who raised me, educated me, guided me, gave me goals and was my role model must be my father!

Roger may have great ideals, and he may have many unspeakable difficulties.

But anyway, he never saw me and I never saw him.

That’s why I don’t consider him as my father!”

boom! ! !

As soon as Ace finished speaking, Rayleigh punched Ace on the head.

"Little brat, what are you talking about? Even if what you said is right, such words should not come out of your mouth!

Moreover, I will never allow my disciples to insult my old friend.

Even if you are right, you can’t say that!”

After he finished speaking, Rayleigh tapped Ace's head again, then he looked into the distance and smiled knowingly.

“I won’t talk about you anymore, kid. When you grow up and become a father, you will naturally understand Roger.

As for now, haha, let me take you to Rogue Town for a look.

After all, that’s where your father died!”

"I've seen it..."

Ace replied to Rayleigh, rolling his eyes.

“I am from the East China Sea myself, and I also passed through Rogue Town before I went out to sea.

So, I've seen it, and there's nothing special about it, it's just an execution platform.

Instead of showing me the execution platform, why don't you take me to the nearby Navy Branch? I've never been to the Navy Branch before!"

Ace looked at Rayleigh expectantly, and after thinking for a while, Rayleigh nodded slightly.

"That's true. You were supposed to pass by Rogue Town. Well, I agree to your request.

I will take some time to take you to the nearby naval branch, so you can stroll around and forget the pressure that the word "navy" brings to you, a pirate.

In addition to this, we do need to go to nearby islands or naval branches for supplies.

There aren't many plants and animals near Upside Down Mountain, and Lab has recently been spoiled by little Gawain and has become fond of human food, so much so that we are running out of food on the ship.

By the way, speaking of this, I just remembered that when Gao Wen comes back, you can help me persuade him.

Lab is an island whale. He will hunt sea kings on his own. He will also automatically start dieting and starving if there is no food source.

In short, we can't feed him too much human food.

Lab alone ate more than almost everyone else on the ship combined!

If this continues, what will we eat?

Although we can also catch sea kings, we have no shortage of staple food and meat.

But even so, we can't give up delicious stir-fry and turn to three small barbecue meals a day, right? "

After saying that, Rayleigh waved to everyone, and everyone nodded in understanding.

Old man Reilly was right. They didn't want to eat barbecue all day long. That would be so greasy!

Just when people made up their minds, the Xuanniao slowly landed on the sea. The huge hull created countless whirlpools, making the nearby sea water turbulent.

At the same time, Yixiao also returned to the deck of the Xuanniao with the white star on Lab's body.

Looking at the two people coming back, Hancock frowned.

"Strange, where is Lord Gawain? Where is my concubine Gawain?"

Hearing Khan Kuk's question, he smiled, nodded and said.

"My Lord is forty miles away. He just dealt with a group of pirates who gathered near Upside Down Mountain and tried to avoid us and enter the Grand Line.

As for now, the Lord has arrived with the navy ship and will arrive soon."

"The Ai family knows!"

Seeing Gawain going out alone, Hancock bit her lip in frustration.

Don’t even take her with you!

However, after seeing Shirahoshi being carried by Yixiao and floating beside her, Hancock couldn't help but smile again.

I didn’t bring White Star either, hehe~

……

……

Not long after, on Smoker's warship.

Smoker the Second Baldy stood behind Gawain, staring at the towering ship in the distance with his mouth open.

"Then, then, then... Is that the Xuanniao? I am so looking forward to it!!!"

At this moment, Smoker's fist loosened slightly, and then he rubbed his clothes nervously with his palm.

Beside him, Dashigi performed the same movements as him and said at the same time.

“Yeah, this ship is so huge, it’s like a mountain!!!

This is the first time I have seen such a big ship. Next we can go on board and take a look around. I am looking forward to it!"

"No, it has nothing to do with that, I'm just looking forward to the people on that ship!"

Smoker shook his head, denying Tashigi's statement. He clenched his sweaty fists again and said in disbelief.

"Pluto Rayleigh, Peach Rabbit Gion, Crazy Tiger Smile, Sea Knight Jinbei, Pirate Empress, Sand Crocodile, Tyrant Bear, Fire Fist Ace, Devil's Daughter, and my teacher, Black Arm Zephyr!!!

I am really looking forward to seeing so many famous people from the sea gathered together. I really want to fight with every one of them!!!"

At this point, Smoker's lips trembled with excitement. He rubbed his hands together and looked at Gawain expectantly.

Looking at Smoker's expectant eyes, Gawain said with a smile.

"You can't beat any of them right now. You're nowhere near me, so you better try harder."

"Gao Wensheng!"

After hearing Gawain's words, Smoker said seriously.
