You Guess Whether I Guess You Guess or Not?

Seeing Who 'Luffy who just wouldn't stop talking, Sabo and Who's-Who looked at each other...

A moment later, Luffy groggily pouted.

"I don't quite understand what he's saying, but he seems pretty arrogant."

Also, he talks so much!

"Yes, there really are a lot!"

Sabo nodded in agreement.

"He looks like a really cool guy, but surprisingly he's a chatterbox..."

At this point, Sabo tightened the ropes binding him, securing Luffy even more securely.

Afterwards, he clenched his fists and interrupted Who's-Who's endless Yamato and bragging from a distance.

"Hello!"

He roared.

"Why are you talking so much? Can't you just shut up and fight properly?"

I don't care about your messy hatred or anything like that. What does that have to do with me and Luffy?

Rubbish!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ace immediately wanted to rush forward, and Luffy was also prepared for his impotent rage.

Unfortunately, it turned out that his efforts to help had essentially been a waste of time Who's-Who effort.

His current fists, in the face of a pirate with a bounty of at least 500 million, are like a 1.5-meter-tall girl desperately resisting a 2.5-meter-tall strong man's attempt to rape her.

He not only fails to help Sabo, but also excites Who's-Who even more...

On the other side, seeing Sabo carrying Luffy towards him, Who's-Who grinned and immediately raised his right leg, intending to deliver a Rankyaku.

But...

The moment he lifted his leg, he froze in place.

Seeing Who's-Who stop moving, Sabo was slightly taken aback, then a shocked smile appeared on his face.

Luffy, however, felt nothing at all, so much so that a second later, Luffy exclaimed in surprise.

"Uncle Gawain!!!"

That's right!

Just as Who's-Who raised his foot, Gawain descended in his lightning form and casually grabbed Who's-Who's ankle.

Eight months ago, Who's-Who was also a man Gawain would have been willing to fight.

But now...

Gawain, his arm firmly planted around Who's-Who's ankle, raised his Gawain slightly and smiled gently.

"Hello, or rather... long time no see, Who's-Who!"

At this point, Gawain's smile grew even gentler, while Who's-Who was completely stunned.

"Gao Gao Gao... Gawain... Saint?!!"

"Hmm, it seems you do recognize me, but I've almost forgotten whether I actually know you or not."

"Tell me, back when you were still CP9, did you ever see me when I was still living peacefully in Mary Geoise and hadn't yet set sail?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain raised his hand and pushed Who's-Who, sending him flying dozens of meters away.

The moment he landed, Who's-Who Worth immediately tried to adjust his posture, but before he could even straighten up, Gawain's face was already in front of him!!!

Gawain, with his hands in his pockets, leaned down to look at the disheveled, half-crouched Who's-Who and smiled gently.

"Unfortunately, there aren't many people who can keep up with my speed anymore, so you definitely don't have a chance."

Also, fighting a warrior with a little burden is not something a strong person would do. I'll take Luffy with me first.

Also, regarding your question, the Gum-Gum Fruit is actually very important. My five elders actually hate you to death, but they just can't take you seriously.

As for you and Rob Lucci, you are much older than him, Devil Fruit power suppresses him.

He's just an ordinary Cat-Cat Fruit user in Cheetah Mode, but you're Ancient Zoan Saber-toothed Tiger! Your Devil Fruit surpasses his in every way.

However, his potential and comprehension are indeed higher than yours!

At this point, Gawain smiled mysteriously, and the image of Lucci working so hard flashed through his mind.

After breaking free from Spandam's control and influence, and receiving instruction from a series of top-tier teachers such as Zephyr.

While Lucci hasn't reached his peak as depicted in the manga yet, he's certainly not someone every Shichibukai can defeat!

It's important to know that in the original storyline, in just two years, Lucci evolved from being defeated by Luffy Gear Third Luffy to Devil Fruit Awakening, surrounded by a cloud of light, and capable of going head-to-head with monster-level powerhouses!

In the past two years, Lucci was almost abandoned by the Cipher Pol due to serious injuries. He was delayed for at least half a year just by relying on his teammates to set up stalls and perform to earn money to recover from his injuries.

It's easy to imagine that if we were to compare the potential of the new generation in the Pirate World, Lucci would at least be a top-tier genius comparable to Zoro and Luffy!

Who's-Who, this thirty-four-year-old excellent pirate, only has a bounty of 500 million.

They have absolutely no right to accuse Rob Lucci!

Upon hearing Gawain's words, Who's-Who paused slightly, then let out a disgruntled sigh.

To be honest, he looks a bit like an angry cat now, although he's nowhere near as cute as a cat.

However, even when angry, Who's-Who didn't dare to vent his anger on Gawain in front of him.

On one hand, Gawain's identity Celestial Dragon triggered his instinctive reaction.

On the other hand...

The Conqueror's Haki emanating from Gawain had unconsciously transformed the sky behind him into an Uzumaki shape!

Seeing that Who's-Who did not respond, Gawain waited a moment, then shook his head.

"Your pride is only shown to those weaker than you, which is not good."

Fine, you and Sabo can play by yourselves. Hopefully, you can make that Sabo have fun.

I'm taking Luffy with me; it won't affect your upcoming battle.

You need to stand up straight, Who's-Who.

At this point, Gawain chuckled and patted Who's-Who on the shoulder. Then Who's-Who, he actually turned around right in front of Who's-Who, completely unguarded, and smiled at Sabo.

"Sabo, this guy is a bit stronger than you are now, but you're not without a chance to beat him."

"Come on, give me Luffy, you two have some fun."

"Haha, that's great, Uncle Gawain!!!"

Upon hearing Gawain's words, Sabo nodded excitedly, then handed Luffy, whose face was full of regret, to Gawain.

After catching Luffy, Gawain casually punched Luffy hard on the top of the head.

"Let's see if you still dare to learn Observation Haki, you brat!"

You've been reduced to this wretched state by a mere Fire Pistol with no bounty? And you still dare to covet the title of Pirate King?

I think all you can do is compete for the title of "King of Wounded Soldiers" in the hospital, and you're the dumbest King of Wounded Soldiers under my command!!!

Gawain grew angrier the more he thought about it, and punched Luffy on the head again.

Then, he appeared on the deck of the Dark Bird Ship, carrying a wailing Luffy.

Upon seeing Gawain and Luffy, Zephyr, who was sitting in the center of the deck observing the entire ship, frowned.

"You got injured so quickly!"

As he spoke, Zephyr stood up and Luffy with a menacing look.

Despite getting beaten up by Gawain, Luffy wasn't afraid at all.

But for Zephyr...

Seeing Sense's dark expression, Luffy's face turned pale instantly!

"Sen... Sense!"

"Don't call me teacher, I don't have a student as stupid as you!"

Look at Ain and Binz, one can fight, and the other can grow vegetables. The seeds that Binz cultivated have already been planted in various countries along the Grand Line. At this time, countless people at sea are silently thanking him!

And then there's Ace and Sabo, your two older brothers. They're only a few years older than you, and they're already able to fight pirates with bounties of 700 or 800 million head-on!

It's just you, Zoro, and Sanji!

You guys are all so unreliable, you're all badly injured in no time!

"We don't need you to defeat the enemy, can't you even protect yourselves?!"

With that roar, Zephyr extended his mechanical hand and grabbed Luffy tightly.

He grabbed Luffy, whose face had turned green, Luffy turned to leave, Zephyr cursing him as he went.

"You students are getting worse with each graduating class, you're a disgrace!"

Bang!

"Ouch, Mr. Zephyr, your fist hurts so much!!!"

"Did my hit hurt more, or did Garp's hit hurt more!"

"But... Grandpa still feels more pain!"

"You idiot, you're going to be the death of me!"

Bang!

"This time, who will beat... Luffy?"

Luffy, don't faint! Your wound is bleeding profusely!

Wake up!

Doctor!!!"

Watching Zephyr and Luffy interact, Gawain smiled and shook his head, then turned to look towards the forest.

Just as Gawain was observing, a soldier wearing a two-character badge on the chest of a suit walked over.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"It's alright, keep on guard. Let me watch Kaido and Issho fight Gion myself."

Gawain responded with a sound of agreement, then casually patted his subordinate on the shoulder.

"While you're on guard, take a good look at the battle below. There's a lot to learn, isn't there?"

"You're right, sir!"

The soldier nodded very seriously, then retreated away from Gawain and took up his designated position to guard.

Gawain nodded to the soldiers, crossed the deck, passed the rest area, and walked into the forest along the direction of the hot spring river.

The villagers of Foosha Village, who lived in the forest, were very happy to see Gawain. After all, if Gawain was in the mood to take a walk on the boat, then the situation outside must be very optimistic.

After a warm greeting, and after handing Gawain a lot of drinks and other gifts,

Gawain, carrying the villagers' gifts, arrived at the mountain peak where Mihawk was training, beaming with joy.

"Mihawk, you've been sitting here the whole time, doesn't your hand itch?"

After exchanging greetings from afar, Gawain first put down the gift, then picked out two bottles of wine and tossed one to Mihawk.

Mihawk took the liquor, pursed his lips, and asked.

"Bourbon? Ha, what brings you to this lately?"

"After drinking a lot of alcohol, you don't feel any difference, except for the alcohol content."

Bourbon is cheap, but why do you think I'm the kind of person who cares about price?

Gawain responded, then gently sat down opposite Mihawk and raised his bottle towards Mihawk.

As Mihawk responded, he shook his head, his expression indifferent.

"I don't think you're that kind of person, and I don't care what kind of person you are, it's just that..."

Bourbon is better suited to a rough-around-the-edges wanderer, but you're not."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mihawk downed the drink in one gulp and then placed the bottle aside.

Gawain also downed his drink in one gulp. With a wave of his hand, the gold threads swirling on his sleeve extended instantly, bringing over two more bottles of whiskey.

Gawain handed the wine to Mihawk, then uncorked the bottle and laughed.

"A wanderer? Ha! There are no wanderers in the world, only people who cannot have their desires fulfilled for the time being."

"So, things aren't going your way now?"

Hearing Gawain's words, Mihawk tilted his head at a very small angle.

"You actually have times when things don't go your way?"

"How could there not be? After all, I'm not someone who enjoys indiscriminate killing. Today... is indeed a bit different from my past."

Gawain shook his head, took a sip of wine, and smiled bitterly.

"You know, I have a lot of lives on my hands, maybe tens of thousands."

But in any case, I have never intentionally taken the lives of good people or innocent people in the past.

But today...

Because of its isolationist policies, Wano Country's people are still quite ignorant. How many of the Wano Country who died today truly deserved to die?

Perhaps this is the kind of moral dilemma that invaders must face. No matter how I try to embellish it, I, as the invader, am now culpable.

"Of course, I don't regret it."

Gawain finished his drink, then tossed the bottle aside and picked up the jug he had exchanged with Shanks.

Gawain took a small sip and smiled.

"If Shanks were standing here, he might just let the people of Wano Country beat him up."

Wano Country was already xenophobic, and now under the rule of Kurozumi Orochi, it has become even more xenophobic.

Some people might be happy to see me liberate them, but I believe that many more stubborn Wano Country would rather wait for the so-called prophecy left by Kozuki Oden.

So many of them harbored a dream of a miracle, so I knew that even if I brought them the best life I could imagine, it wouldn't be as good as the miracle they had dreamed of..."

"Snort!"

Hearing Gawain's words, Mihawk let out a disdainful sigh and then took a sip of his drink.

After swallowing his drink, Mihawk spoke in a cold voice.

"You don't need to say so much to me; we're not close enough to talk about everything."

As for your words, to me they are nothing more than the aggressor's attempt to whitewash his actions.

"Hey!" Gawain looked up, displeased. "Painting it off? You're underestimating me."

"It can only be said that not everyone likes to listen to the plans of big shots. Compared with the definite future life, plans are just empty talk."

If I truly looked down on you, I wouldn't be sitting here; I would see for myself what you've done.

As for my sword... Hmph!

If necessary, I will draw my sword; consider it payment for your lodging!

Now, go back to keeping an eye on the young men on your ship and do what you should be doing as a leader. Don't waste your time on me."

After saying that, Mihawk put down the bottle and then closed his eyes.

Looking at Mihawk, who seemed to be in a meditative state, Gawain grinned and then stood up.

"Alright, then let's see. Since you care about the children on my ship, at least you won't just stand by and watch them die easily. That's enough."

Being disliked is a feeling that's really hard to get used to, but it's also quite interesting.

By the way, you know what? I just met an interesting person.

He told me that Pluton, is now buried underground in Wano Country.

Guess what I said to the person who gave me the message?

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Mihawk slightly opened his eyes and casually asked.

To everyone's surprise, Gawain smiled slightly and said...

"Let me tell you what to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain turned and left, disappearing instantly from the Dark Bird Ship.

Seeing the Inazuma marks left by Gawain, Mihawk frowned and snorted.

That Gawain, he really has a really twisted sense of humor!

Pluton, that thing actually exists! Interesting!

And Gawain...

As he reappeared in the Flower Capital, he chuckled and gently rubbed his cheek.

"You think you can enter a meditative state? Hah!"

Just all talk, huh? Looking down on me, huh?

Then you should control your curiosity first, Mihawk ~.

Guess what I'm guessing, or are you going to guess? Haha!
