I, a Celestial Dragon!

You know, at this time, the Red Earl had not eaten the mythical beast vampire fruit!

In other words, the Red Earl is aging at this time!

And unlike older people like Garp and Whitebeard, although Garp and Whitebeard are old, their hearts are still young and they are still active on the sea of ​​their respective eras.

And the Red Earl, Baroric Redfield.

He chose to fall at the peak of his career, and felt regretful as he grew older.

He is a man full of regrets and pain.

At this moment, sitting in the prison of Impel Down, Redfield felt very regretful.

About a year ago, he didn’t have much concept of time anymore, it was just a long time ago.

When that good-for-nothing brat Barrett was taken away, he should have stood up and begged Gawain.

Anyway, it's better than growing old in prison like you are now!

"Hey!"

Redfield sighed slowly.

He had uttered sighs like this many times.

When he was still young, he encountered a group of pirates on his hometown island.

Among those pirates, there was a musician who shocked Redfield with his unique charm.

From then on, Redfield found his ideal in life. He wanted to go to sea and be a free and happy man like the musician, and he would make becoming the Pirate King his lifelong goal!

Driven by this goal, Redfield went to sea and gradually became the world-renowned Lone Red!

In the era when Hawkeye had not yet emerged, Redfield was the third uncrowned king of the Whitebeard and Roger era. He was the Red Earl who could stand on equal footing with both of them!

but……

However, just when his strength was at the peak and his body was in middle age, he personally witnessed the war between Whitebeard and Roger.

After watching that battle, Redfield was frustrated to find that he, who was called the Third Emperor by the entire ocean, did not seem to be stronger than Whitebeard and Roger!

After that, Redfield left in shame and felt that he was unworthy of the title of Lone Red.

As a result, when he was leaving in shame and anger, he happened to meet the Steel Bone Kong from that year...

After a fierce battle, Redfield won the victory and barely defeated the Navy's Marshal, Sora.

As a result, just after he finished fighting with Cyborg Kong, the old thief Garp came over!

That’s right, in Redfield’s heart, Cap is a complete old thief!

That guy grabbed Redfield, who was almost exhausted...

From then on, Redfield had to live out his days in solitude in Impel Down.

He even temporarily lost his desire for the outside world because of constant failures.

After all, he did not make a heroic effort like the Golden Lion, and aging tortured his will day by day.

until……

Until Gawain's appearance brought him a glimmer of hope!

A year ago, when Gawain, who took Barrett away, looked at him deliberately, he knew that the world had not forgotten him.

The young man was obviously looking forward to his power.

But that time, he suppressed the urge to beg for mercy. He was already old, so what would happen even if he got out?

Can he still have the strength of his peak period when he hasn't exercised in nearly thirty years?

He's just an old ghost.

They thought he had resigned himself to his fate, but as Gawain was gone longer and longer, Redfield panicked.

It turns out that what he thought was just what he thought!

He simply didn't accept his fate!

Any way, as long as he can leave this prison, as long as he can find a way to regain his youth!

Then he also wants his red color to dye the entire sea red!

he……

Hey?

and many more!

That's... that's Gawain? ! !

On the other hand, Gawain and Xiliu walked past Magellan, who looked reluctant, as usual.

When they stepped into the sixth floor of the Advance City, Xiliu said to Gawain thoughtfully.

“Lord Gawain, Redfield may be old, but he is extremely dangerous!

After all, he is a legendary pirate who once defeated the Navy's Chief Marshal Kong!

Although your strength is definitely beyond his, are you sure he can really be used by us?

Except for Garp who has been a marine from the very beginning, none of those old legendary pirates have defected to other forces.

Of course, old man Rayleigh doesn’t count. Although he also has the domineering color, he is just a deputy captain.

And Redfield, the lonely red.

He is his own leader!"

After he finished speaking, Xi revealed an appreciative expression. Compared with the new generation of pirates that appeared in recent years, the old-school pirates were all too stubborn and boring.

On the side, listening to Xi Liu's words, Gao Wen nodded slightly and then smiled.

“Redfield will cooperate with me, because what I am going to do now is what every pirate desires most.

Attack Marijoa, haha, which pirate wouldn't want to kill a few Celestial Dragons?

That’s right, Xiliu.”

Suddenly, Gawain patted Xiluo's shoulder gently.

"I just remembered something, Xiliu, do you know why I brought you out alone?"

"I am just wondering, sir."

Xiliu nodded and moved closer to Gao Wen to listen carefully.

Looking at Xi Liu who lowered his head and looked docile, Gao Wen's face turned cold, and then he gave an order in a low voice.

“What I said to you on the boat before was not necessarily what I wanted to say to you.

Regarding the Celestial Dragons of Marijoa, apart from the few families I mentioned that need to be preserved.

As for the rest, I don't want to hear their voices anymore.

Even if we save some of the Celestial Dragons temporarily, I don't want to hear different voices from their mouths.

We just need obedient celestial beings.

Therefore, you are under great pressure and have heavy responsibilities, Xi Liu.

Don’t let me down! ”

Chapter 617: Lonely Red

After he finished speaking, Gawain continued walking towards Impel Down in silence.

Following behind Gawain, Xiliu nervously grasped the hilt of his knife, looking at Gawain's back with endless admiration in his eyes!

Xiliu was never a good person, but he always thought that Gawain was a good person. Apart from the necessary killings, he always thought that one day he would be unacceptable to Gawain.

who knew...

I am indeed an indispensable knife for adults!

It seems that my future self will need to understand adults' thoughts more thoroughly. My current self really doesn't understand adults at all and I have done too little!

Someone in a position like that of an adult should not say the above words in person. He only needs to reveal a little sign, or even no sign at all, and he should take care of everything for the adult!

How can bad things come from adults' mouths? You should just do the bad things yourself.

I really was... so negligent in my duty!

Xi Liu was a little sad. He claimed to be Gawain's executioner, but he didn't even know who the knife should fall on!

From this moment on, Xiliu finally realized.

If all other cadres were like the stars guarding the sun and the moon, trying their best to show their light to the sea.

Then I should make a black hole and hide all the darkness in the sky!

Because the king is supposed to be the sun, but it is only reasonable that there must be darkness in the world!

……

In silence, Gawain brought Xilu to the sixth floor of the Impel Down City.

Gawain didn't pay attention to the prisoners shouting around him. Apart from Redfield, there was no other target that suited his taste.

In the distance, Redfield was particularly sensitive to Gawain's arrival.

In just a moment, Redfield opened his eyes and his old heart began to beat uncontrollably!

No one knows how tired he was waiting for this year.

From full of contempt at the beginning, to the dead end later, to the great expectations now.

Before Gawain stopped in front of his cell, Redfield couldn't help but speak to Gawain.

"You finally came!"

After saying this, Redfield let out a long breath. He had finally taken this step.

He slowly sat up from the bed, then dragged his old body to look at Gawain.

His hands and elbows rested tiredly on his knees. Compared with old men like Reilly Carp, Redfield was too old.

His exposed skin was as withered and thin as a mummy, and his blood vessels were like ferocious old snakes entwined between his bones and skin, looking so ferocious that it seemed as if they could fall off his skin at any time.

But Gawain was not disappointed, because Gawain saw Redfield's eyes.

Compared with his old and dilapidated body, Redfield's eyes were burning brightly!

Although the old man in front of him is haggard, his heart and will have been polished by time and become purer and stronger!

This is the uncrowned king of the previous era, the loneliness who firmly believes that lions cannot coexist with sheep, the lonely Red who does not form parties or alliances, and who can stand up to Whitebeard and Roger even though he is alone!

only……

This Lone Red made the wrong decision at the wrong time, faced the wrong dilemma, met the wrong enemy, and ultimately encountered... the wrong future!

Even if he lived in seclusion like Mihawk, or if there was a policy of the Seven Warlords of the Sea thirty years ago.

Then Redfield would certainly not have sacrificed his prime years in a dark prison.

Missing out on an entire prime of life is not just Redfield's regret.

When this vast ocean is missing Redfield.

That may be the regret of this sea!

With an admiring look in his eyes, Gawain took the key from Xi Liu and opened the door of Redfield Prison.

Looking at the open door, Redfield's lonely eyes suddenly moved.

He couldn't wait to taste his freedom.

But even though he couldn't wait, he had to suppress that thought.

Because Redfield knew that there was someone in front of him who could decide his fate.

So, Redfield sat there with his head raised, staring into Gawain's eyes and spoke.

"I don't have the same treatment as Barrett and his friends. I can't even read the newspapers on the sea.
