I, a Celestial Dragon!

Otherwise, mom will send you away from this funny and disgusting world!

If you die, mom will take care of your wives. They will not become mom's tools. Even if Shanks and Newgate want to harm them, mom will never give them that opportunity!

As for me, haha.

If I, your mother, die, then please take care of my children for me. You don’t need to be too good to them. Even if you turn them into mindless tools, at least you can let them live, especially so that they can leave behind a few children like me, your mother!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady soared into the sky, and her big thick legs shattered the air like a bomb.

Accompanied by the sound of sonic booms that continued to spread in the air, the aunt's figure gradually moved away until it disappeared.

After the aunt disappeared, Newgate raised his wine bowl and said with a smile.

"It has been really hard for Lingling these years.

It was fine when she didn't have a sweet tooth, at least she still had her own sanity.

When she develops food cravings, oh...

Generally speaking, even though she is in her sixties or seventies now, the life she has actually experienced is probably less than twenty-five years.

That's why she realized that the danger had really arrived.

At this moment, she must be more sad than us heartless guys."

As he spoke, Newgate raised his hand and patted Gawain on the shoulder.

Facing Gawain's usual calm gaze, Newgate continued speaking proudly.

"Gawain, we barely have an agreement.

During this stage when you were blocking the Grand Line, I should have done something for you, such as delaying the next decisive battle as much as possible.

but……

Oh, I am not as great as you think. Even though I tried my best to delay, I only delayed for seven and a half months.

Guralala, when they heard that the Grand Line was cut off by you, all the young pirates in the New World were furious!

Unlike us old folks who have long planned to die in the New World, the young pirates are still looking forward to returning home in glory.

Carry tons of treasure, sing melodious sea songs, show your scars to your parents, wife and children, then go to taverns around the world with your friends and tell your adventures to those cowards who have never been to sea!

This kind of life is what 90% of the pirates in the New World pursue. As for the remaining 10%, haha.

Only old guys like me don't care whether more new pirates will rush into the New World to supplement the strength of us old pirates.

After all, for me, haha, my pirate group is already the strongest in the New World!

It doesn’t matter even if Teach doesn’t eat the Dark-Dark Fruit.

As long as I'm here, even if Shanks and the other two attack my pirate group together.

I dare to guarantee that I can use the last burning moment of my life to beat the three of them into a state of weakness that can be barely dealt with by my sons!

They might even suffer losses!

Anyway, hey, I don’t care whether the pirate group will become stronger, so... I don’t care whether you block the situation in the New World.

The same is true for Lingling. Her way of making herself strong is through having children and marriage. She doesn't care about outsiders.

As for Shanks, hahaha, Shanks is not the kind of guy who accepts partners easily.

He, he is so similar to Roger, really so similar!

As for the Pirate Emperor who is most likely, or absolutely, to oppose your blockade plan.

Didn't you anticipate the enemy and make Kaido, who is so heroic and willing to accept all strong people as his subordinates, hungry for me?

At least for now, haha.

Be it me, Linlin, or Shanks, the three of us really don't want to have a decisive battle with you.

In other words, your enemy from the very beginning was not me and my companions, but the class to which I and my companions belong!

The reason why I and others are here now is because we cannot betray our class and identity.

All the pirates in the New World are in turmoil, and the wave is comparable to or even exceeds the Age of Discovery that Roger started back then!

Because all Roger brought to pirates all over the world was just a dream.

And you, you are trying to take the lives and freedom of pirates all over the world!"

Having said that, Whitebeard raised his wine bowl and clinked it with Gawain's.

At the side, Shanks raised the wine bowl with his remaining arm and took a sip with the two of them.

Putting down the wine bowl, White Beard rubbed his hair and continued speaking in a loud voice.

“What I just said is the reason why I came here.

But that’s not all, because what I really want to tell you is a plea from me to you.

Lingling is gone, alas..., facing life and death, she is always the most unwilling one.

As for me, I would rather die on the bed dragged down by this tired heart.

I would rather die on a glorious battlefield!

so……"

Newgate paused for a moment, then met Gawain's gaze and nodded heavily.

"So, Gawain, please let the battle in two days end with my death!

I have longed for such a battle for too long. As a pirate, even though I have realized that the existence of pirates is the cancer of the world, I also hope to die as a pirate for the survival of pirates!

You know, I made the decision a long time ago.

If one day I am too old to fight anymore, I will, in the last days before I die, do something as great as what Roger did before his death!

If nothing major happened at that time.

Then... I will single-handedly attack the Navy Headquarters, or Marijoa, or at worst, Impel Down!

But at that time, my actions may very likely lead to the escalation of the war!

At least I know that no matter what reason I use to go to war with the navy.

That guy Kaido will rush to the battlefield to help me.

Of course he and I are enemies, but the navy is the enemy of pirates, and with Kaido's heroic character, he will definitely help me attack the navy!

But Linling, that woman, treats Kaido differently, they have their own bond.

Therefore, once I get Kaido's assistance, the situation will change from an ending starring me to an all-out war between pirates and the navy!

So by that time, there is a high probability that I will meet you, Shanks.

When the time comes, I will probably ask you for two things, Shanks.

First of all, I will ask you to help me stop Kaido. This will be very easy for you. Not to mention that your strength has reached Roger's level back then, and you have Beckman, Jesus Bu, and Garbage Lu under your command.

The strength of those people has reached the level of Jabba, Rayleigh and Oden.

You young people in your thirties and forties, who are at the peak of your career, are actually the most powerful pirate group in the New World.

As long as you are willing to agree to me, you will definitely be able to stop Kaido.

As for the second one, haha.

I will probably ask you to act as a peacemaker between me and the navy after you stop Kaido!

I will die one day, and dying on a battlefield is a worthy death.

But my sons, they followed me in my last act of willfulness, which was enough to create their own pirate legends, haha!

When I die, the navy will kill them all.

At that time, you will need to step up, Shanks, to protect my sons from the navy, and at the same time put an end to the war that I have started.

Even if I don’t fight my last battle, after I die, my sons will be in danger because of the pursuit of the entire ocean.

In this case, I might as well use my life to allow them to grow in a total war, so that they can be prepared for the future!"

boom!

Newgate smashed the wine bowl in his hand, and then he simply picked up the nearby wine barrel.

Carrying a wine barrel more than five meters high, White Beard saluted Gawain.

Gurgling.

After drinking the wine, Whitebeard let out a sigh of relief and then looked at Gawain seriously.

“What I said before was my original plan.

As for now, gula la la!

There is no need for me to do anything special. You have already created enough of a scene for me to perform.

So, Gawain, for the war two days later, let me make a promise with you as I originally planned!

Time waits for no one. Shanks is not as decisive and stable as you now.

Promise me that after I die, you will not let the war escalate any further!

I know what you are thinking. In the new era in your mind, there is no room for thieves!

You may not be able to completely eliminate all thieves from the world.

But at least you can't let the despicable concept of thief become the object of pursuit for an entire generation of young people!

But, Gawain, please listen to what I have to say!

The pirate culture that spans eight hundred years of history cannot be completely ended even if you kill everyone in the New World.

That group needs a gradual process, and it also requires our pirates to muster up hope again and again to launch a decisive battle, and then fail again and again until we are completely depressed!

From this perspective, you need more people who are qualified like me to lead the great pirates to launch the War of Hope!

As for the other side, you will not fail to realize that once the pirates completely disappear, the pressure that once weighed on them will also be transferred to you!

In short, for my sake, everything starts with a war led by me and ends with my death.

As for Lingling...

Let her live a little longer.

Without me and Kaido, Shanks wouldn't care about Linlin, because she wouldn't be able to do anything.

You want to break the pirate's spine!

Then this old man will tell you!

I am the backbone of the pirates!!!

But after breaking the pirate's spine...

Gawain, please do not be too eager to take away the pirates' lifeline!

Remember!!!"

Chapter 522 Shanks’ trump card!

"In a hurry to take away the pirate's lifeblood?"

Facing Newgate's heartfelt words, Gawain shook his head gently.

“No, Newgate.

The reason why I decided to fight the next war with you after you gathered.

Because not only do I not want to take away your lifeblood, I will even force you to unite in front of me!"

Having said that, Gawain picked up his wine bowl and toasted Newgate.

After putting down the wine bowl, Gawain continued.

"You know, if you all gather together as New World pirates and are forced to unite under external pressure,

The harm you bring to the new world will be much less than it would have been otherwise.

Although I blocked the Grand Line first, there is no doubt that I want the Grand Line, and I want the New World... too!
