I, a Celestial Dragon!

Then he simply couldn't imagine how Luffy would fight!

It can't be that Luffy will rely on the author to cheat in the future to win, right? ? ?

In addition, Shanks now controls a considerable amount of explosive rock.

Gawain had to judge the future situation in his mind, and he was really tempted, because to Gawain, whether it was pirates or member countries of the World Government, he had never regarded them as his biggest enemies in his life.

Because he already had the basic information about those camps, he could basically guess what cards they had.

As for known things, it is nothing more than a matter of countering them. Gao Wen is not worried about those.

What Gawain is most worried about is the unknown hidden behind Im and the World Government!

If Gawain was as impulsive as Luffy, he would have attacked Marijoa a long time ago.

But now, with the basic situation getting better and better.

Gao Wen's mentality is gradually approaching a peaceful ending!

But can he really resolve the conflict between himself and Marijoa peacefully?

Can he really control and lead the actions of the Five Elders, to the point of inciting them to rebel, or even directly forcing Im to step down and remove Im's regency, thus achieving personal rule?

What if I give up my previous path and choose to accept Newgate's advice?

Even if all the pirates can't follow Newgate.

But only if the Whitebeard and Shanks groups firmly joined, Gawain was sure that he had all the confidence to turn against Marijoa.

The only thing to worry about is that Marijoa still has some way to destroy the world.

Faced with the threat of destroying the world, even if Gawain wins, he will still get the situation given by Shanks, neither winning nor losing.

By then, Gawain, who had completely fallen out with Marijoa, would probably face a counterattack from the Knights of God and Marijoa.

I'm afraid that at that time, Gawain would even have to give up a small part of the Grand Line and completely withdraw from Sabaody Island, try to use the three naval islands such as Impel Down as a buffer, and strive to hold on to the territory of the iceberg, that is, the industrial base, and engage in a thorough confrontation with Marijoa.

Even if conditions do not allow, we may have to abandon the Shipbuilding Island and instead advance based on Alabasta.

But that was all based on the assumption that he was doomed to fail and that Marijoa was indeed hiding it too deeply.

And what if I win!!!

If I really win, the whole world will fall into chaos because of the sudden demise of the world government.

But since he already had control over most of the Grand Line, he didn't need to worry about the chaos spreading to his territory.

At that time, we only need to first establish order in the chaotic situation, and then we can conquer the world in a very kingly way on the sea that has completely evolved into the Warring States Period!

Most importantly, for Gawain.

His ancestors never taught him how to fight with Yim, and it was even more impossible for them to appear in his dreams and tell him what cards Yim was hiding.

But as long as Im and Marijoa disappeared.

Then our ancestors could use the 5,000-year history of China to teach Gawain how to conquer the world in a chaotic world in a very kingly way!!!

There is a saying that goes, create conditions that suit your style!

If he could really overthrow Marijoa, then Gawain would be very good at dealing with the remaining chaos!

but……

but!

Do I really want to win this sudden invitation to cooperate from Whitebeard? ? !

While hesitating, Gawain clapped his hands gently.

"I have to admit, Newgate, your words... actually moved me a little!"

Having said this, Gawain turned around and glanced at the red earth continent in the distance.

Right at the top of the Red Earth Continent, Marijoa, which has stood for a thousand years, casts a shadow full of unknowns on Gawain.

On the other side, Newgate's excitement paused slightly as he listened to Gawain's words.

"This...from the moment I heard it from your mouth, I already understood your intention.

So why don't you agree with my plan?

You already feel it, and there will naturally be a turning point later.

But I think there is nothing wrong with my plan!

If we go to war, it will be the most powerful war in the past two hundred years.

If Captain Rocks hadn't died so unjustly back then, the scene where our Rocks Pirates united and went to war with the Navy and Marijoa would have been comparable to the scale of the next two days!

With such a strong force gathered together, we may be able to dispel the dark cloud that is hanging over our heads.

Gawain, if it weren't for you, I would never have been able to cooperate with the navy.

And you, if it weren't for me and Shanks, you wouldn't be able to sit down at the negotiation table with the pirates!

So the opportunity is rare and will never come back!

Think about it carefully. Let's attack Marijoa together, and then this world can be completely cleansed by us.

Wait until everything is over and the dust settles.

What we leave to our children in the next generation will be the great cause you long to accomplish, that is, a paradise of peace and freedom!

I……"

"No need to say it!"

Suddenly, Gawain interrupts Newgate.

He raised his right hand and stopped Whitebeard from continuing speaking with a stern face.

"Newgate, I have to admit that your plan does have the potential to be realized.

And the possibility is great!

But I..., even without this plan, I don’t think I would lose!

Therefore, I don’t want to build the beginning of the next era on a conspiracy that will shock the whole world!

At the same time, I don't want to be a person who completely betrays my camp and elders. Even if I sit on the supreme throne, I will bring even worse thoughts.

the most important is……

Although I admire you and Shanks, you are thieves and pirates!

No matter how bright the future is!

I don't want that kind of future to be created by pirates of any identity!

Your plan is indeed tempting.

But I don’t agree!

I don't need you!

I don’t need you anymore!!!”

Chapter 524 Ready to go

Gawain took a big sip of his wine.

It was really too difficult for him to reject Whitebeard's proposal.

Because that proposal came so close to victory.

At least it’s so close to victory on paper!

That was a raid that included almost 80% of the strongest people in the entire One Piece world!

Maybe... I can really win!

But what happens after you win?

Among the pioneers of the new era, there are teams and elements such as the Pirate Alliance.

The most important thing is, are Sakaski and other navy officers really willing to cooperate with pirates?

It is true that Sakaski and Borsalino are willing to fight for Gawain.

They were even willing to fight for Gawain's spot as Marijoa in order to get the position of the Five Elders.

but……

If you let them cooperate with the pirates...

At least Sakaski would never agree!

Whitebeard's plan is good, but such a plan cannot be decided simply by talking about it.

If Gawain really needs to rely on the power of pirates to attack Marijoa in the future, he will at least have to spend a lot of time to coordinate and do a good job with Sakaski and other naval forces!

For Sakaski, following Gawain to attack Mary Geoise is like clearing the court and supporting the dragon platform.

But he followed the pirates to fight against Marijoa.

That is treason!!!

In short, after considering many factors, Gao Wen shook his head heavily, once again rejecting his previous momentary hesitation.

Seeing Gawain shaking his head, Newgate pursed his lips unwillingly.

But in the end, he let out a long sigh.

"I see. Hey, it seems that Marijoa won't collapse as easily as I thought.

But it is also true that if it was easy to capture that place just by gathering a group of strong men, then Marijoa would not have stood on the sea created by this hero for a full eight hundred years.

Even Captain Rocks back then, the terrifying existence who gathered dozens of monster subordinates.

When he was most offensive, he only focused on the Valley of the Gods, a place that was relatively important to the Celestial Dragons but not that important to the World Government.

This is really... Alas...

I wonder if I will be able to see the collapse of Marijoa before I die."

At this, Newgate raised the barrel and drank from it with Gawain.

After putting down his wine bowl, Shanks grinned.

“By the way, Senior Newgate, that was not like your character just now.

Why did he suddenly come up with the idea of ​​attacking Marijoa together with Gawain?

If we were to evaluate each of us separately on the world stage.

Then there are us pirates, Gawain's Xuanniao, Long's Revolutionary Army, hundreds of allied countries, and the World Government.

The problems between these camps cannot be solved by simply joining forces to destroy Mary Geoise!

I just said that I don’t care what the world will look like in the future, but I need some stable time to do my own thing!

Once we attack Marijoa together, no matter whether we win or lose, the ocean will be plunged into chaos!

So, sorry, Newgate.

Regardless of whether Gawain accepts your invitation or not, I will not accept it anyway. I don’t want to add fuel to your crazy behavior.

But fortunately, Gawain did not join you.

Then, haha.

Let's meet in two days.

Two days later, let us have a decisive battle under Marijoa and let the sea witness the pirates’ final struggle and your magnanimity!

This drink is enough for now!

I am going, Newgate, will you come with me?

As he spoke, Shanks lifted his butt and headed towards the distant return path.

Seeing Shanks stand up, Newgate let out a sigh of relief and then stood up as well.

"Yeah, I actually forgot about you. You are a guy who always craves for stability. It is impossible for you to fight with me in Mary Geoise.
