Seeing the Whitebeard laughing uncontrollably, Gawain's furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Gawain smiled and said to the Whitebeard.
"Don't say it's all a gift from you, Newgate."
Actually, I really don't want to stand here, because if Garp continues fighting, the outcome is still quite clear.
Without Shanks' underhanded tactics, I see no hope of victory for you. Even though the pirates are relentlessly chasing and killing the Marines, our strong warriors have also given your strong warriors no chance to catch their breath.
I originally wanted this war to last longer, long enough to serve as a large-scale training exercise, allowing those destined to go to the front lines of future wars to adapt to and experience the inevitable, more intense warfare of the future.
At the same time, it also gives those of you standing at the end of the peak a final stage to showcase yourselves.
Why..."
At this point, Gawain gently shook his head.
"What a pity."
As he spoke, Gawain suddenly raised his right hand, and lightning instantly enveloped his fist.
Seeing Gawain's clenched fist, Newgate laughed heartily, while also swinging his Murakumogiri with abandon.
He said excitedly as he brandished his Naginata.
"Life is never perfect; the scene before me is enough for this old man to cherish!"
Come on, Gawain, let this old man test your mettle first!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Whitebeard man suddenly erupted, crashing down on Gawain like a mountain.
Facing the Whitebeard's seemingly simple yet profound downward slash, Gawain instantly drew his sword with his right hand, which was crackling with lightning.
A moment later.
Sizzle sizzle!
Flashing with electric arcs, and swirling with Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, with even the innermost layer coated with a layer of chakra, Murakumogiri fiercely parried Whitebeard's Shusui!
In an instant, a cavity comparable in size to the Conqueror's Haki cavity from before appeared beside Whitebeard and Gawain.
But...
Just as Gawain and Whitebeard were thoroughly enjoying their duel...
An accident has occurred!
Not long ago, in Mary Geoise, Pangea Castle, Sabaody Castle, and Autumn Moon Chamber.
Countless members of the God's Knights came to the side of the man they were most loyal to.
And just as that man uttered the word "unforgivable"...
The other members of the God's Knights seemed to suddenly remember something.
One of the members suddenly stood up and spoke to Gelinggu.
"Captain Gelinggu, although Whitebeard's actions did indeed cause harm to Mary Geoise."
The war that Gawain started also turned into the most despicable and vile garbage war because of Whitebeard's actions!
But regardless, Gawain was Celestial Dragon, while Whitebeard was a lowly, foul-smelling commoner and trash.
Moreover, their war is still ongoing, and we... we shouldn't get involved in this war!
Even if Whitebeard is to be executed, Gawain will also be put on trial.
But we should at least wait until after the war is over.
It would be best to wait until Gawain and Whitebeard have settled their score, and for the current situation to continue as it is. Gawain defeats Whitebeard and upholds the dignity of the Celestial Dragon, then we can put him on trial!
What do you think?
As soon as he finished speaking, the knight looked intently at Gelinggu.
Meeting the teammate's gaze, Gelinggu sat there silently for a long time before finally raising his head.
At that moment, Gelinggu gaze pierced through his small round-framed sunglasses and landed precisely on the person who had spoken.
At the same time, he slowly began to speak.
Donquixote Quixote Figaro.
Please have a clearer understanding of your own identity!
As a member of the God's Knights, you should always remember the Knights' rules and creed!
Now, answer me: what punishment shall befall anyone who has harmed Mary Geoise?
"He deserves to be torn to pieces, Your Excellency."
Ferdinand readily agreed, and his answer made Gelinggu nod in satisfaction.
So Gelinggu continued.
"Then continue to answer me: what punishment should be given to anyone who commits improper acts that indirectly cause harm to Mary Geoise?"
"He deserves to be torn to pieces, Your Excellency, but Gawain, he..."
"Shut up!!!"
Before Fedoran could finish answering, Gelinggu interrupted him.
Meeting Fegoland's increasingly dissatisfied gaze, Gelinggu took a deep breath and then explained.
"I know, I know Gawain is Celestial Dragon, and also someone those old guys Five Elders, care about."
But you should know that no one has the right to be above our beliefs and principles!
Regardless of whether there is war or not, regardless of what we face!
Those who violate our creed and principles shall receive their due punishment at any time and in any place!
This is the ultimate meaning of our existence!
So, Mr. Figo, do you have a problem with my ruling?!
As soon as he finished speaking, Saint Garling stared intently into Ferdinand Saint's eyes with his cold gaze hidden behind sunglasses.
Facing the scrutiny of Saint Garling, Ferguson took a deep breath.
It seems that Gelinggu's resolve to deal with Gawain is as firm as iron.
But this... this...
Isn't this pushing promising talents among the Celestial Dragon towards the enemy?
Moreover, the Gawain Family and their Donquixote Family are now very close.
Although it was a disgrace to the Donquixote Family of Mjosgard for those who showed closeness to Gawain, the friendship between the Gawain Family and Donquixote Family at this time was commendable, regardless of whether it was a disgrace or not.
Therefore, I genuinely don't want to do anything to Gawain.
After all, Donquixote in the past had never had many allies.
Now, thanks to that shameful operation, the Donquixote Family has instead formed a cooperative relationship with the Gawain Family and Rosward Family.
This...
Just as Figoland was struggling to think, Gelinggu glanced at him.
As he watched, Saint Garling slowly shook his head and continued speaking.
"Fegolan, what are you hesitating about? Are you hesitating about worldly relationships that shouldn't be on the minds of us God's Knights?"
If not, then state your answer and follow me in fulfilling our duties and responsibilities!
If so, then before the trial of Gawain and the execution of Whitebeard...
Perhaps we should talk about your problem!
As soon as he finished speaking, Saint Garling stood up abruptly and gradually approached Figoland.
Sensing Gelinggu's approach, Fegolan curled his lip and then brazenly closed in on Saint Garling!
Just as his chest was almost touching Saint Garling's chest, and his hair was being tied up by Saint Garling's crescent-shaped hairstyle.
Ferguson finally spoke.
"You want to judge me, huh, Gelinggu!"
This is the God's Knights, we are the God's Knights, this is not your place to dictate terms!!!
At this point, Fegoland met Gelinggu's gaze without flinching.
Gelinggu was indeed the captain of the God's Knights.
But don't forget, even as a member, Ferdinand still holds a high position among the Celestial Dragon!!!
That's right. Although the Celestial Dragon may seem to have no class distinctions, in reality, they still have different levels.
That level is the highest rank, the highest position, and the ordinary.
The highest-ranking Celestial Dragon are the Five Elders, since they are the ones who pay all the Celestial Dragon's salaries.
Whoever pays the money is the boss; that makes perfect sense.
The God's Knights, naturally, are the high-ranking members of the Celestial Dragon. While possessing the supreme power of the Celestial Dragon, they are also qualified to bear the responsibilities of the Celestial Dragon!
Don't think of taking responsibility as a hassle.
Relatively speaking, that's more of a definitive proof!
Seemingly realizing that Fegoland was truly angry, Gelinggu fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.
A moment later, he, the leader of the God's Knights, surprisingly took a step back.
Having moved a little distance from Fegorland, Gelinggu sighed softly.
He then changed his approach and continued explaining to Fegoland and the others.
"Gentlemen, do not diminish the spirit of us, or even the Knights."
Moreover, we only want to interrogate Gawain, not execute him!
All we have to do is fulfill our duty, bring Gawain to where he belongs, and give him the appropriate warning according to tradition!
As for war... friends.
Have we ever cared about any war that involved the lower classes?
As he finished speaking, Gelinggu looked at Ferguson one last time.
If things have come to this point, and Fegoland still insists on fighting against himself...
Then let's reduce the number of members in the God's Knights!
In the past, when I wasn't the leader of the God's Knights, the God's Knights could do whatever they wanted, and I didn't care about the rules here!
But now, as compensation from the God Valley Incident, he has been appointed as the captain of the God's Knights by the supreme Lord Imu.
This is my territory!!!
And myself...
I can't tolerate too much offense!!!
Not to mention...
Thirteen people is indeed a bit too many!
I don't need that many people!
Isn't that right?
Upon realizing this, an invisible aura of danger immediately emanated from his body.
Perhaps Fegoland also sensed that danger, and so...
After swallowing hard, Fegolan nodded helplessly.
"Alright, Commander!"
He spoke to Gelinggu in a deep voice.
"Since you consistently believe that participating in the interrogation of Gawain during wartime was the right thing to do."
Then I don't mind following your orders.
But I want you to know that we both have to bear our own responsibilities and the consequences of our individual decisions!
Don't forget, Gawain isn't one of our descendants living in Mary Geoise.
He is the possessor of the World's Strongest Conqueror's Haki!
Would someone like that really accept the fate of being judged by us?
Especially since... it was a situation where he absolutely could not back down!
In a way that absolutely cannot allow him to back down even a step!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ferguson glared at Gelinggu.
Beside Figoland, including the knights of the Rosward Family, three other knights chose to stand by Figoland's side, casting dangerous glances at Gelinggu.
Facing the four group members with whom he had never gotten along, Gelinggu took a deep breath.
Yes, they're right. Gawain is definitely not the type to be judged.
But if we don't demand a trial for Gawain at this time...
That...
How can I possibly beat my foolish son?
Admittedly, his son had long since become familiar with and accustomed to the lifestyle of the lower class through years of dissolute living.
But ultimately, he is still the heir to the Figarland Family...
Not to mention...
For the sake of this war, his son, whom he hadn't seen for many years, even went so far as to conceal his whereabouts and travel to Mary Geoise to meet with him and the Five Elders.
As a father...
I should at least offer him some support when he needs it, no matter what!
Thinking of this, Gelinggu nodded heavily.
"Everyone!"
He emphasized this point in his final remarks.
"Your concerns are not unfounded, so we will now conduct a more covert trial of Whitebeard and Gawain!"
We don't need to invoke the name of the Knights. We just need to act suddenly and move them directly to Mary Geoise, then give them the trial they deserve!
Gawain is certainly a promising junior, and may even be a new martial god who will cooperate with us in the future.
But whoever he is, he needs to know about the existence of the God's Knights and remember his principles and rules as Celestial Dragon!
Isn't this the very reason for the existence of my God's Knights?
So, gentlemen, there's no need to say anything more!
"We... it's time to act!"
As he finished speaking, Gelinggu raised his right hand, his palm brushing past his crescent-shaped hair before pointing into the distance.
At the same time, beside him.
This includes the knights of the Rosward Family and Mjosgard families.
They all nodded.
On the battlefield, Whitebeard and Gawain, who were locked in a battle of Conqueror's Haki, suddenly froze in shock!
The next moment, the Whitebeard suddenly looked at Gawain and said in a low voice.
"You brat, you even arranged for your men to ambush me at a time like this???"
You are truly the most ruthless and cunning bastard I have ever seen in my life!
To everyone's surprise, at the same moment Whitebeard spoke, Gawain also spoke!
Seeing the Whitebeard's surprised face, Gawain and the Whitebeard suddenly spoke at the same time.
"At a time like this, where did you find these fresh troops, old man?"
This is... wait... this isn't one of yours!
Could it be...?!
Before Gawain could finish speaking, an attraction far Gawain imagination suddenly spread to him and Whitebeard!
Just as Gawain and Whitebeard were about to resist, an invisible fragrance suddenly filled their surroundings!
The next moment, Whitebeard and Gawain felt as if they saw a giant wolf, a wolf that was howling at the moon and then chasing after it, getting further and further away from it!
At the same time, Gawain and Whitebeard looked surprised.
The space they were in was suddenly torn apart by an invisible, enormous claw!
Immediately afterwards, the two felt dizzy and Whitebeard found themselves in a flowerbed filled with an incomparably fragrant aroma.
Meanwhile... right in the center of the battlefield, where everyone was watching closely...
Whitebeard and Gawain, after an incredibly fierce battle, both vanished from the world!!!
And then the next moment...
Everyone on the battlefield...
Or perhaps, it's all of Gawain's subordinates and all of Whitebeard's sons...
They've all gone mad!!!
