"Aaaaaaah!!!"
Just as Luffy onto Gawain, Uta suddenly let out a huge scream.
She jogged quickly, then dashed to Luffy's Gawain, grabbed his pants, and pulled him off Luffy.
"Don't end up clinging to Gawain like I did! No way! You tried to steal Shanks from me back then, do you think I'd let you steal Gawain now, Luffy?!"
Uta roared seriously, then pinned the struggling Luffy to the ground.
Even though he was being held down, Luffy still desperately tried to lift his head and look at Gawain.
"Uta uta uta, don't stop me, I want to learn that move, the one with the howl!"
So handsome!!!
With a roar, Luffy's body was held down by Uta, but he stubbornly used his teeth to gnaw at the deck, stretching his neck to reach Gawain.
Seeing Luffy and Uta tangled together, Gawain chuckled and reached out to pick them up.
Feeling Gawain grab her collar, Uta immediately snapped out of her daze, grabbed Gawain's arm, and began to climb up, quickly reaching Gawain's neck.
After being lifted up by Gawain Luffy, Gawain excitedly shouted to him.
"Hey, old man, is it true that Shanks runs away as soon as he sees you?!"
I've never seen Shanks use that move you just used. It was incredibly powerful, Awooo!!!
"Well..."
Hearing Luffy's words, Gawain smiled and shook his head.
"Shanks running away when he sees me... that's a bit of an exaggeration. If it really comes down to a fight, their pirate crew is indeed no match for my Dark Bird Ship, but we can still hold our own for a while."
As for that move just now, I'm Devil Fruit User just like you. Shanks didn't eat Devil Fruit, so of course he couldn't use our techniques.
"Well, haha, you seem to really like this kind of trick that makes you bigger."
"Of course!!!"
Luffy's eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly.
"I even dream about turning into a giant and smashing bad guys away with my super-sized fist, haha!"
But... aren't my Devil Fruit as good as yours?
You could unleash Bilibili's lightning, but I can only... stretch myself out...
As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy shook his head with a hint of regret, and then all four limbs drooped down.
Just then, Zephyr appeared behind Luffy and punched Luffy squarely on the head.
"Hey kid, there's no such thing as a superior or inferior Devil Fruit, and the same goes for power!"
Look at me, neither your grandfather nor I ate Devil Fruit, but we can both destroy a mountain with a single punch!
If you feel weak, then just work hard to train. As long as you put in the effort, even a slow learner can become very strong!
So get off the captain's arm right now, and then keep training with me!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zephyr pulled Luffy down and threw him towards Zoro.
As he tossed Luffy, Zephyr shouted to Zoro.
"Zoro, train this kid using your method for two sets first, then you can start training him around lunchtime."
"Huh? You want me to take care of this restless brat who clearly has no perseverance...?"
Zoro shook his head, somewhat speechless, then rolled his Byakugan dramatically.
Nearby, Luffy on the ground, naturally heard Zoro's words.
"Hey, who are you calling a brat, Moss Head?!"
"Ha?"
Zoro was taken aback by Luffy's words.
"So you're not going to argue that you lack perseverance, are you?!"
After saying that, Zoro grabbed Luffy and left, then angrily started training with Luffy in tow.
For someone like Zoro, whose mind is always solely focused on his sword, once he starts training, he becomes so engrossed in his training that he can't even see Gawain...
Seeing Zoro and Luffy having a good time, Gawain smiled knowingly.
"Laughing, "Gawain said to Zephyr.
"Grandpa, what do you think? Do you think Luffy is a kid worth nurturing?"
"Ha, what can I do? I'm just using that damned Flamingo to cowardly sever ties with my past!"
That Flamingo bastard is a real chatterbox, but what he said isn't wrong.
Back then, he was a pirate, and I was a marine. Whether it was a pirate killing a marine or a marine killing a pirate, it was all part of the natural order and perfectly normal!
What angers me most isn't even him, but the World Government, haha.
The culprit is right there, but the World Government forbids me from gathering a force to seek revenge, and even gave Flamingo the title of Shichibukai!
This kind of World Government... it's... it's fucking damn damned!!!
After letting out a roar like a dying lion, Zephyr gritted his teeth and looked at Gawain, asking in a low voice, word by word!
"Captain, although I had a pretty good idea of what you were going to do a long time ago!"
But now, I really want a thorough, clear, and transparent answer!
Let's overthrow that damned World Government! Let's do it!
We may not be able to turn everyone in the world into good people, but we... at least shouldn't stop victims from seeking revenge against their perpetrators!
That kind of world is the world we see now...
This damn world is absolutely fucking awful!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zephyr began to breathe heavily through his nose, then he tried to tilt his head back to the sky.
I got into a big fight today, and my emotions were really volatile. I feel like my asthma is acting up again!
At the same time, looking at Zephyr, Gawain pursed his lips slightly and then nodded.
"If I were to rule the World Government, and then rule the entire world."
"Wouldn't such a world be destined to overthrow all past circumstances?"
At this point, Gawain patted Zephyr's shoulder worriedly.
"Professor Zephyr, I have always been at odds with the World Government, and there is no way I can integrate into the World Government in its current environment!"
So relax and take care of yourself.
The future is right before our eyes, but without good health, we can't reach it!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain gave Zephyr a bright smile, and Zephyr nodded slightly.
After nodding, Zephyr suddenly remembered something, and then he sneered.
"I understand, but in any case, I can't work with that damn Flamingo!"
Aside from serving as a combatant in dangerous situations, my duties as an instructor will be limited to other tasks. Therefore, I will be living in a house near the training ground from now on!
As for that Flamingo, keep him away from me. Otherwise, no matter how obedient he pretends to be, I wouldn't mind killing him on our deck before any danger lurks within him!
After saying this, Zephyr nodded heavily to Gawain, then turned around and walked over to Zoro, leading the young men in a frenzied training session.
Despite complaining about Zephyr's training sessions, Luffy could generally accept them, perhaps Luffy Zephyr's head hits weren't as painful as Garp's.
Watching the elderly Mr. Zephyr's frail figure, Gawain remained silent for a moment, then let out a soft sigh.
The grief that Mr. Zephyr felt will likely linger for a long time.
Shaking his head, Gawain turned and left with Uta on his back, while Reiju followed behind Gawain, taking small, leisurely steps to observe everything on the Dark Bird Ship up close.
Not long after, the three returned to the rest area, where Nojiko and Robin were playing volleyball with Vivi and Shirahoshi.
As for Nami, the Nami who should have been a key player in the volleyball team.
She's now completely obsessed with money.
From afar, Nami was seen carrying countless bills and records, frantically calculating the wealth and expenses of the Dark Bird Ship.
She even drooled with happiness as she did the calculations; her face was flushed, and she seemed completely lost in a daze.
So happy!!!
In this setting, Gawain led Uta and Reiju to his sofa and leisurely lay down on it.
As soon as he lay down, he moved Uta from his back into his arms.
While stroking and ruffling Uta's hair, Gawain smiled and said to someone wiping their sword blade not far away.
"I just smiled and said, 'I suddenly felt like I couldn't control my abilities.'"
It's not that I can't use my abilities, but rather that they suddenly appear even though I didn't intend to.
On the one hand, it makes me feel like my abilities have improved, but on the other hand, this feeling of being out of control... is really not good!
"Master Zephyr doesn't have Devil Fruit, so I can only ask you for advice on this."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Gawain's words, Yi Xiao instantly became interested. He quickly put down his sword, then strolled over to Gawain and found a sofa to sit down.
With his sword resting across his knees, he smiled and sat upright, saying to Gawain with a smile.
"Sir, is the feeling you're describing... a feeling of having an ability that becomes instinctive?"
In other words, even though what one wants to do is raise their right hand, the ability instinctively moves along with the right hand?
At this point, Yi Xiao closed her eyes and gently pursed her lips.
"Besides that, sir, do you also have a feeling... that you can make everything your own?"
"Indeed!"
Gawain nodded readily, and his response brought a satisfied look to Yi Xiao's face.
Nodding in satisfaction and smiling, he remarked to Gawain with a touch of emotion.
"It seems that your understanding of lightning far exceeds my imagination, so much so that your speed of developing your Devil Fruit abilities surpasses that of most Logia-type Logia Devil Fruit User on this sea!"
My lord, when Devil Fruit ability evolves into instinct, and then attempts to spread to more areas, there is only one possibility: you are about to Devil Fruit Awakening!
However, although they are very close, taking this step is not so easy!
You might get stuck in this process for years.
After a moment's thought, Yi Xiao realized how to explain it to Gawain.
He said with a smile.
"The so-called Devil Fruit Awakening, with the exception of a very few special Devil Fruit, all other Awakening are based on the word 'need'!"
In other words, what kind of abilities do we need the Devil Fruit to possess?
The development of a Devil Fruit Devil Fruit User generally involves several steps.
The first step is that when you first obtain a Devil Fruit, you are not yet familiar with its abilities. In this step, Devil Fruit User need to explore as much as possible what your Devil Fruit can do!
Just like a newborn baby who doesn't yet know that it can walk or run, what we need to do at the beginning is to learn and use our nature to the appropriate extent!
Next, the second step is an improvement stage. After we have become proficient in using the Devil Fruit, we need to continuously use it to improve our understanding and synergy with the Devil Fruit's abilities. This synergy is indescribable.
Like using your own arm, you can make your ability a new arm, which is the limit of the Devil Fruit's power!
Once we reach this step and move on to the next, we generally have a certain mindset.
That is, we already know what we can do, but even so, we still want to do more!
My lord, you have now come close to this barrier, which means that you must have reached some kind of critical point in the development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
That doesn't necessarily mean you've improved significantly. Perhaps your current Rumble-Rumble Fruit isn't enough to achieve certain things you want to do!
As soon as he finished speaking, his smiling face became even more expectant. He smiled gently and spoke to Gawain with anticipation.
"I'm really looking forward to it. In your usual training, you rarely show us, your sparring partners, how to develop the Devil Fruit."
"I really don't know what kind of need you have for lightning that your Devil Fruit is forcing itself to Awakening in an attempt to satisfy your need for new abilities!"
After speaking, she smiled gently at Gawain and quietly waited for his Gawain.
Gawain pondered for a moment, then gently shook his head.
"My need for new abilities has little to do with simple lightning. I just feel that since it is lightning, it is related to certain special forces that transcend simple lightning and can be called the foundation of all things!"
I never imagined that just when I was so eager to develop this content, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was already on the verge of Awakening!
But this is good, it proves that the Rumble-Rumble Fruit really can do what I want.
All that's needed is a successful Awakening!
As he finished speaking, Gawain rubbed his hair with satisfaction, taking off his general's hat as he did so, letting his jet-black hair sway in the wind.
After tidying up his hair, Gawain carefully continued speaking to Yi Xiao.
"However, just a smile..."
While Devil Fruit's good that the Devil Fruit is close to Awakening, the side effect of it being so uncontrollable that it instinctively spreads its lightning effects is somewhat meaningless to me.
Just now, I only wanted to tease that kid Luffy, but my Devil Fruit instincts amplified my movements, causing me to use up one-thousandth of my stamina with a mere playful action.
I don't like the feeling of having this ability out of control!
After saying that, Gawain looked up at Yi Xiao and asked solemnly.
"So, Yixiao, is there any way for me to break free from this state of instinctual loss of control before I Awakening?"
Of course!
Faced with Gawain's question, Yi Xiao nodded decisively.
"My lord, you may not know this, but it is your thirst for new abilities that has caused the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to exhibit uncontrollable behavior."
Your desires are your instincts, and what you call being out of control is simply your own instincts driving the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to become even stronger!
Therefore, the problem isn't with the Devil Fruit, but with you.
To solve this problem, you simply need to overcome your instincts!
After saying that, he smiled and pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.
"Overcoming instincts is something I, a ronin, don't really know much about. Long before I ate the Devil Fruit, I had already found a way to overcome instincts through countless battles."
Killing makes your limbs tremble; it's not fear, but a surge of adrenaline, which is also our instinct reminding us to fight.
While this state was exhilarating, it was not conducive to a prolonged battle, nor was it conducive to conserving energy. So, after countless brushes with death, I finally broke free from my instincts.
But you, sir, lived such a comfortable life in the past that you didn't have the same opportunity as me.
Now that you are strong enough, it's difficult for you to overcome your instincts in a way similar to mine.
So why don't you ask Mr. Zephyr? He taught three Logia users at the Admiral level. His students must have encountered similar problems to yours back then!
Perhaps Mr. Zephyr has some professional methods at his disposal!
After saying that, Yi Xiao nodded to Gawain, who then clapped his hands lightly.
"Indeed!"
Gawain Dawu and said...
"I just came from Professor Zephyr. I just thought that Professor Zephyr had never eaten Devil Fruit, so I didn't mention it to him."
I actually forgot about his three terrifying Logia disciples, haha!
After speaking, Gawain waved to Yi Xiao, then got up and returned to the training ground, where he explained his predicament to Zephyr.
Upon hearing Gawain's words, Zephyr was first astonished by Gawain's rapid progress, and then he revealed a cruel smile!
Three days later, aboard the Dark Bird Ship.
The villagers of Foosha Village have all been living on the Dark Bird Ship recently, and they simply couldn't refuse Gawain's enthusiasm.
However, after settling in on the Dark Bird Ship, the villagers felt quite good, because apart from Gawain, no one else on the ship was considered superior or inferior.
Even the top-ranking officials like Rayleigh would greet the villagers warmly when they met or passed by them.
In addition, the Dark Bird Ship is rich in high-quality mountain forest resources, and the villagers live a very happy life farming together with Binz on the Dark Bird Ship.
Therefore, according to Kaya's estimate, although the villagers have not yet given Gawain a reply.
But in any case, ninety percent of the villagers would not refuse Gawain's invitation!
As for Gawain...
He really hadn't had time to think about the villagers' problems these past few days, because ever since Tong Zephyr mentioned his situation, Gawain had been trapped in a nightmare!
In response to Gawain's problem of losing control of his Devil Fruit instincts, Zephyr devised a whole series of training programs for Gawain to overcome his instincts!
The core of this training is diving!!!
That's right!
As Devil Fruit User, Gawain was destined to be a landlubber who couldn't swim in seawater containing the Seastone Factor!
As a result, Zephyr actually made him practice diving!!!
This wasn't your average diving; Zephyr's diving training was far more daunting than swimming.
He built a 2.5-meter-deep pool specifically for Gawain, and then threw Gawain into it!
The height of the pool was precisely at Gawain's limit. Although Gawain's height was increasing day by day, he was still only about 2.3 or 2.4 meters tall. When he stood in the pool and sank to the bottom, his head was only about 15 centimeters above the water surface!
Gawain is now standing in the pool, his hands instinctively struggling desperately, because he no longer has the strength to jump up!
After Zephyr ordered him to sink to the bottom, he was told to keep jumping to breathe, but deprived of his ability to move by the seawater, he could not jump more than 20 or 30 centimeters in the water no matter how hard he tried.
Thus, over the past three days, Gawain has repeatedly experienced choking on water, struggling, and then nearly falling into a coma.
But whenever Gawain was in so much pain that he was about to faint, Gion was waiting by his side, would always carry him to the surface of the water!
Sometimes, the constant choking on water drove Gawain to the point of contemplating suicide!
Even someone like him, who dares to undergo self-destructive training, could hardly bear the pain before him!
Many people who can't swim can probably understand the despair of falling into the water.
Gawain was tormented by that despair for three whole days. He longed to just faint in the water, but he wasn't even allowed to faint!!!
After being pulled ashore by Gion once again, Gawain curled up helplessly in Gion's arms, while Gion, enduring Hancock's tearful curses, helped Gawain vomit the water out of his stomach.
Meanwhile, Zephyr was yelling at Gawain!
"Your comfortable life has made you succumb to the control of your instincts for the past twenty-five years!"
But do you know what instinct is? Instinct is when your body bypasses your thoughts and will to make decisions for you!
Why do you feel the urge to lose consciousness when you fall into water and can't breathe?
Because at that moment, your instincts already tell you that you are destined to die!
That's right, even though you still have the will to live, you still want to continue living!
But your instincts tell you you're doomed, so they make you pass out, intending to make your death, along with your instincts, more comfortable!
That's your instinct, that's the weak instinct that we all possess!
But is this kind of instinct what you truly need?!
Before Gawain could even take another greedy breath, Zephyr rushed forward, pulled Gawain out of Gion's arms, and threw him violently into the water!
Gawain was once again caught in a cycle of sinking to the bottom, struggling and jumping desperately for air, then choking on water, finally suffocating, and then nearly losing consciousness!
As Gawain continued his cycle, Zephyr remained standing on the shore, shouting at Gawain.
"Overcome your instincts, use your mind to accept your pain, and even if the end result is certain death, do not let the coma defeat you!"
Even in death, you should face the final moment with your eyes open, instead of cowardly letting your instincts control you and using unconsciousness to enjoy a relatively blissful death!!!
Between complete suffocation and death, there is a full ten minutes. Our bodies are much better than ordinary people, and we can endure it for much longer!
In short, if you endure that suffocating pain for at least ten minutes, and when you stop struggling and can lie at the bottom of the water, indifferent to death amidst the pain, you have the means to overcome your instincts.
At that point, our next training will also move to the real, deeper, and darker ocean floor!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zephyr stared nervously at the water. In just a few words, Gawain had already collapsed into the water.
But just like before, Gawain struggled uncontrollably before collapsing.
When he was almost motionless, it wasn't that he had regained control, but rather that he was nearing unconsciousness again...
Then, Gion pulled him out of the water again.
When he broke the surface again, coughing and spitting out seawater that had turned reddish.
Everyone watching nearby was in a state of shock...
Luffy was the most incomprehensible of them all; as he watched, he tapped Ace's butt.
"Ace, isn't that guy already very strong? Uta said that even Shanks isn't his match!"
Then why would he foolishly torture himself like that?
"Ha???"
Hearing this, Ace tapped Luffy on the head in annoyance and then said...
"What do you mean 'silly'? Luffy, this old man is pushing his limits, you know that!"
"Why?"
Upon hearing Ace's words, Luffy grinned and asked.
"What is a limit? All I know is a chicken leg!"
"Well..."
Ace was slightly taken aback by Luffy's words, and then he racked his brains to think about it.
After a long pause, Ace tried to explain to Luffy!
"The uncle needs to overcome his instincts. Do you know what instincts are? Instincts are like wanting to eat when you're hungry!"
Overcoming instincts will make the old man stronger, that must be it. Anyway, the old man...
He's starving himself to become stronger...!!!
For a moment, Luffy was caught in a deep dilemma. Should he... just stop getting stronger?
Fortunately, once lunch was served, Luffy immediately forgot about his earlier thoughts.
While everyone was having lunch, Gawain was still suffering, while Doflamingo swaggered over to Zephyr and Gawain's side.
Seeing Doflamingo approach, Zephyr clenched his fists and said without looking up.
"Roll."
"Whisper, whisk, whisk!!!"
Doflamingo immediately burst into laughter and said to Zephyr.
"Zephyr, you old codger, you've become so weak from the effects of age!"
I thought you were going to grab me by the collar and keep yelling at me!
As a result, Fufu, you don't even dare to listen to what I say!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Doflamingo walked disdainfully to the poolside and glanced at Gawain, who was struggling inside.
After a quick glance, Doflamingo looked up with interest.
"Hey, Zephyr, you bastard, you must really want to torture me, right?"
Bring it on! I'm going to try Gawain's challenge too!
If he can do it, then I can too. I'm definitely no worse than this guy. I just had a cowardly father, which caused me to lose my current status as Gawain too early!
Come on, let me experience the torment of the sea with him!
Lao Tzu..."
Thump!
Before Doflamingo could finish speaking, Zephyr kicked Doflamingo into the pool, sending him crashing into the sea.
That's not all. Because the pool was only 2.5 meters deep, Doflamingo, despite being weak, managed to get his head out of the water!
Seeing this, Zephyr smiled with satisfaction, then leaped forward, grabbed Doflamingo's hair, and roared.
"You bastard, you want to share weal and woe with Gawain, huh? You want to gain everyone's trust this way, huh? You want both Gawain and I to look up to you, huh?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zephyr shoved Doflamingo's head underwater.
"Get in there now, get in the water!!!"
"Uru ru ru ru!!!!!"
Thus, the number of people bubbling on the deck changed from one, Gawain, to two.
This sentiment persisted until Gawain was about to leave the Goa Kingdom, finally bringing it to an end!
Fourteen days later, about a day later than originally planned, the Dark Bird Ship made the decision to depart.
Upon learning this news, Sabo made a special trip back to the Goa Kingdom to meet with his father.
Upon seeing Sabo, Outlook III's expression did not improve much; even while lying on his sickbed, he still spat at Sabo.
"Pooh!"
After the sound, Outlook III struggled to sit up, wanting to put on a parental demeanor in front of the son he hated most.
Unfortunately, circumstances did not provide him with such an opportunity, because the current Outlook III no longer enjoys the luxurious lifestyle of the past.
Even in the past, when Outlook III up at that moment.
But now, looking at his father struggling on the hospital bed, Sabo sighed deeply, then leaned over to help him up.
When his son tried to help him up, Otruk cursed him in disgust.
"Get lost! I don't need a bastard like you who betrayed his ancestors!"
Even if the great Celestial Dragon demote me to a commoner, I don't need your pity, you opportunistic bastard!!!
That's right. At this time, although Outlook III was still alive, he had lost his noble status and all his property had been confiscated, making him an ordinary commoner in the Goa Kingdom.
Of course, out of respect for Sabo, the Logistics Department members who now manage the city will still give Outlook III a little face.
After their journey to the Sky Island, Lucci and Kalifa, under Gawain's command, trained a group of people capable of managing the country.
Although their experience was not extensive, the training program gradually became more professional after Crocodile joined.
Crocodile has extensive management experience, and he also has matching educational abilities. As a result, thousands of management personnel have emerged on the Gawain ship, and these people are now all being used in the Goa Kingdom.
In short, under their rule, the Goa Kingdom may not be able to become stronger.
However, they are absolutely capable of ensuring that the Goa Kingdom can maintain relative stability while granting more preferential treatment to its commoners, thereby fulfilling Gawain's demands.
Sabo had personally observed the management methods used by these people.
For Sabo, it was a novel, unconventional tyrannical culture that forced administrators to live the same lives as ordinary people!
Indeed, Gawain is now unable to devote much energy and time to the Goa Kingdom, so he has proposed a strict management system.
That is, to force officials to live in the same conditions as ordinary people!
Black Ice Terrace left behind a considerable number of people in the Goa Kingdom; these people were the core subordinates of Gawain and Lucci, who were in charge of supervising the city's administrators.
Once they receive Gawain's orders, they won't even give Rayleigh any face, let alone collude with the people managing the Goa Kingdom!
Those people will monitor the officials of the Goa Kingdom, forcing them to be bound to the vast majority of commoners.
If the poor eat steamed potatoes for dinner, then the officials can forget about eating fried steak!
This is the stupid method Gawain used against the Goa Kingdom!
Gawain knew all too well that, as the administrators of the city and the kingdom, they had thousands of ways to make today's citizens better off than yesterday, if they so desired!
Now, unable to stay and personally rule the Goa Kingdom, Gawain drew a line for the administrators who remained.
In other words, managers are not just managing ordinary people; they are managing themselves!
If they still want to be greedy, then let them be greedy all they want. Even if they are more greedy than the nobles of the past, their lives will not be any better than those of the common people!
Their children shouldn't think they're superior to others, and their women shouldn't even think about touching any luxury goods; otherwise, they'll be punished along with their families!
Gawain knew this wasn't a good method; he knew it probably wouldn't last even ten years. But given the Dark Bird Ship's current lack of time, this method was far more suitable than any other.
Because no method is as effective as Gawain's strict requirements for managers in making them respect their work more!
Getting back to the point, after struggling to sit up on his own, Outlook III coughed and then coldly berated Sabo!
"I truly regret those years that passed, those years when you disappeared."
I actually find myself occasionally missing your presence!
But you, after you came back, directly caused the death of your brother Stelly!
That's right, he died on the orders of the World Nobles, that wasn't your intention!
But don't think I don't know that you're in a mid-to-high tier of status on the Dark Bird Ship. If you wanted to, you could definitely save your brother!
But you didn't, cough cough cough cough!!!
After a series of coughs, Outlook III lay weakly on the bed, and with his last strength, he pounded his chest.
Sabo lowered his head briefly in front of him, then Sabo looked up and said earnestly, word by word.
"That's all just what you think!"
That's all just your opinion!
But you don't know, I've disliked Stelly since I was a child. He's full of the same insidious and corrupt stench as you and other nobles!
I have never acknowledged him as my brother!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Sabo knew he could never get his father's forgiveness again. So he sighed deeply, took one last look at his father, and prepared to turn and leave.
But just before Sabo left, Outlook III suddenly spoke again.
"Stop!"
At that moment, Outlook III seemed to have a final burst of energy before death, looking at Sabo with a majestic gaze.
Sabo was slightly taken aback by that look in his eyes. His father looked exactly like the one he remembered from his childhood!
At the same time, Outlook III said coldly.
"Stelly is dead, so there is no doubt that from now on you are Outlook IV!"
Although I don't like you, the Celestial Dragon are above me, so at least I have one damned heir!
Sabo, I don't have much time left. Even though I was fortunate enough to be treated by the Celestial Dragon's doctor, I won't survive this winter.
This is the last thing I can say to you!
After saying that, Outlook III grabbed Sabo's hand.
Immediately afterwards, Outlook III spoke earnestly.
"It seemed that I was close to death, and my eyes seemed to see much more clearly!"
Saint Gawain... that great Celestial Dragon is doing something that betrays the Celestial Dragon!
This is dangerous, but it's also an opportunity—an opportunity I could never have had when I was as young as you!
You're in a good position right now, so you must stick with it!
The glory of the Outlook Family, along with the Celestial Dragon and the Goa Kingdom, has been turned into the most detestable garbage we used to hate!
But remember, Sabo, commoners will always be commoners. Even without nobles, there will always be others who exploit them!
As my son, as the son of a nobleman, even if you no longer bear the family's glory, you must stand higher than future commoners!!!
You have to promise me, you absolutely have to promise me!!!
We must stand even higher, carrying the bloodline of our family!!!
At this point, Outlook III's eyes widened suddenly, and then he plopped down on the bed.
Sabo was startled and rushed to her side, crying.
Fortunately, Pops didn't die; he was just so exhausted that he fainted.
Having confirmed that his father was still alive, Sabo breathed a sigh of relief, then gently shook his head.
Yes, Father.
"Sabo said softly."
"We all know that in any society, even in an ideal state, the level of life will not be the same for everyone."
But if one cannot hold pure ideals, if even pioneers like myself and Uncle Gawain are not pure enough...
Then we wouldn't have the right to carry on the past and forge ahead into the future.
I don't know what the future holds. Even if we win and overthrow the World Government and the Celestial Dragon, new Celestial Dragon with different names will appear in the world.
But... even if it's only for a few years, or a few decades.
As long as we live in this era, let ordinary people truly experience the taste of equality.
Even if new Celestial Dragon emerge in the future, future commoners will learn from the history of me and Saint Gawain, and know what kind of life they should have lived."
With that, Sabo gently covered his father with a blanket and then took him to the hospital.
When he finally said goodbye to his father, Sabo shook his head regretfully.
"The common people are not lacking in power; they simply lack a unified and consistent understanding."
These are Gawain Gawain's words, and they're also my favorite quote.
As for you, well...
Rather than your eagerness for me to climb the social ladder, I would much rather you persuade me to get married and have a child before I leave.
I thought that at times like this, you would treat me like a real father would treat a son.
But I was disappointed...
On the other hand, on the Dark Bird Ship, Gawain struggled to climb out of the swimming pool.
His instinct training was over. After more than ten days of torture, he could now remain indifferent to death on the seabed, like a corpse, until he truly approached death...
At this point, although he is Devil Fruit Awakening, at least he will no longer have the problem of losing control of his abilities.
At the same time, although overcoming one's instincts is a rather exhausting experience, Gawain, who is good at self-torture, still came to enjoy it.
This kind of experience, despite the exhaustion, also gives one a great sense of accomplishment!
After climbing out of the pool, Gawain took a quick shower and then sat down on the edge of the deck.
After he sat down wearily, Makino, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly came over!
"Grown ups!"
Makino, carrying the flask, spoke cautiously to Gawain.
"Are we, ordinary people from the Foosha Village, really living with you like this?"
"Otherwise what?"
Hearing Makino's words, Gawain wearily took the glass and let Makino pour him a drink.
As he listened to the sound of the spilled wine, Gawain continued speaking.
"You've been living on the ship these past few days, haven't you? It's not just a ship, it's a city. I see you're having quite a good time."
So why did you specifically emphasize this to me? Is there a problem?
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain smiled and looked at Makino.
Faced with Gawain's tired yet gentle smile, Makino pursed her lips and then nodded helplessly.
"Of course there's no problem. After all, the village chief really likes the environment on the ship. He even picked people from the village to form a football team to play with Spandam and the others."
Dadan even became a bandit on the back mountain, chasing Jinbe, who was stealing trees, every day...
Everyone was happy, so I was happy too. I just... I just felt a little dreamy and uneasy...
At this point, Makino bowed to Gawain, then turned around and continued pouring drinks for the others.
After finishing her work, Makino sat on the bar counter, looking around at everything in a daze.
The drinkers seemed to remain drinkers, and Gawain and his companions were just as cheerful and enthusiastic as any other drinker.
But something just doesn't feel right to me.
On the training field, Luffy was crying as he said goodbye to Uta, but as he was leaving, Luffy realized that he might not be able to leave!
Because Foosha Village moved to the Dark Bird Ship, Dadan moved to the Dark Bird Ship, and Makino moved to the Dark Bird Ship too!
And so, the optimistic Luffy completely forgot that he seemed to have already set sail, and excitedly admired the sea view with the villagers and Uta.
In Luffy's view, as long as he stays with his family, that is, the people in the village, he doesn't really consider himself to have set sail.
However, in the eyes of others, especially Garp, who was currently on a ship heading to the New World, intending to take a trip to Red-Haired Shanks' territory.
This news is a bit scary!
After receiving Sengoku's call, Garp, looking completely bewildered, yelled at the Den Den Mushi.
"What did you say, the Sengoku?!"
You're saying that everything in Foosha Village, including the villagers and the land, was taken away by that Gawain?!
That guy is really wicked!!!
With a snap, Garp hung up the phone and stared blankly at the sea.
Then he raised his hand and slapped it on his forehead!
"Oh no, my house is gone!!!"
