"Hmph, what a load of rubbish about self-destructive tendencies!"
Before Kaido speaking, Whitebeard, who was at the head of the table, slammed his fist on the table.
"Although I only went out for a short while with Gawain, I have gained a clear understanding of the situation."
Wherever there are people, no matter what kind of world it is, the essence of human nature will not change.
I didn't really believe in original sin before, after all, those who survived from my clutches were all heroes who put their dreams before their own interests.
Even those in the Navy...
Ahem, Tokikake, and Hina, please don't look at me like that, consider it a slip of the tongue!
In short, even these old adversaries of the Navy are filled with their own ideals.
But even in our world, those who conquer the world and the Celestial Dragon, driven by the pursuit of profit, have developed a series of large-scale weapons such as Dyna Stone.
However, in our world, because of the existence of powerful beings like us, Dyna Stone is barely a tool to keep the powerful in check.
But in this relatively weak world...
"Hmph, even if there are no powerful beings who need super weapons to counterbalance them, they will still continue to develop more and more effective weapons to maximize their chances of victory and the countless interests involved behind it!"
Whitebeard shook his head and took a big gulp of wine.
"Therefore, what prompted them to develop destructive weapons was never a self-destructive tendency."
That's just... a superficial and concrete manifestation of greed!
Sigh, I really don't know what conditions are necessary for peace to come to pass.
I can see Gawain's efforts.
But I just can't figure out whether his efforts can bring peace, and even if peace does come, how long can that peace last?
At this point, the Whitebeard slowly fell silent.
Not far away, Kaido for a moment, then sighed.
"I originally thought that as long as all the nobles in the world were eliminated, the world would be clean."
Looking back now, that idea was indeed a bit naive.
Although I don't understand the things Gawain often talks about, such as the means of production.
Ultimately, in any environment where many people are together, there will always be some who aspire to a higher status.
Perhaps they are geniuses, or perhaps they truly deserve to stand higher.
But as long as the hierarchy of positions truly exists, ambitious individuals will continue to emerge.
Who manages whom? It's such a simple statement.
But in reality, if I were to be under your Whitebeard management during a future war, that would be a different story.
No matter what, I absolutely refuse to accept this!
So even Lao Tzu was like that; he was just an ordinary person who was constantly gaining more and more power in his environment.
What if it were someone even worse than me...?
Hmph, now I kind of understand the World Government and the Celestial Dragon.
They've held power for so long, yet all they do is play petty games like bullying men and women and indiscriminately killing innocent people.
He actually read it quite well!
As soon as he finished speaking, Kaido and his gang rubbed their chests.
This feeling is really unpleasant.
When we are young, we can cherish ideals.
But as ideals gradually shattered, and dreams were finally broken by reality.
In the end, I became the monster in my own eyes!
How many children face unreasonable scolding and emotional abuse from their parents when they are young?
So the children secretly vowed that they would never become like that when they grew up.
But when the child finally grows up, when the child finally becomes a parent...
But how many people can remember the promises they made to themselves when they were children?
Some say that first-time parents often don't know how to manage their children.
It wasn't because they were becoming parents for the first time, but because they were experiencing the taste of power for the first time.
Humans have inherent flaws!
When you discover you have the ability to completely manipulate another person's life...
When you discover that your rights have suddenly risen from being an insignificant nobody at the bottom of society to being someone else's god and the whole world...
How many people can rationally deal with these changes and disparities?
And when this situation is extended to every industry around the world...
So, how many people in positions of power truly respect ordinary people at the bottom of society?
When those in positions of power who disrespect ordinary people fight each other for interests beyond their own rights.
As they gradually became embroiled in the conflict, didn't they just allow the advancement and upgrading of weapons to continue unchecked?
The person who created the atomic bomb will spend the rest of his life repenting for his creation.
It was created out of a pursuit of science.
Using it would actually drive scholars crazy.
Because scholars are just ordinary people, they have respect, but no rights.
And the important figures who use those weapons.
They wield too much power, so they increasingly stop seeing themselves as human beings.
They think they're gods...
I won't Gawain the conversation between these elderly men Big Mom in the article.
Right now, in the heart of the Sahara Desert.
Gawain sat there slowly chewing until he swallowed the last piece of steak.
He casually tossed the plate, and the ice wrapped around it by the heavy plasma melted.
As the red water dripped onto the ground, Gawain raised his right hand.
Inside the White House, the president nervously pursed his lips as he looked at the projected image before him.
"Everyone!"
He said, his voice trembling.
"Did you see Mr. Gawain's gesture clearly?"
Are you sure the gesture he's making is OK?
Or does he need to wait another three seconds, three minutes, or even... three hours?
The president, seeing Gawain's constantly waving OK sign, was genuinely unsure, so he simply shifted the blame onto the generals around him.
Suddenly being blamed by the president, a large group of generals were on edge.
Damn it, Gawain can't communicate with us, and who among us can be sure about the meaning of Gawain gestures right now?
Whether it's OK or three, who can say for sure!
Gawain isn't United States, so who knows what kind of culture Gawain was exposed to in the past!
However, since it was ultimately the president's fault, everyone had no choice but to accept it.
Ultimately, everyone's attention was focused on the admiral.
Under everyone's gaze, the admiral swallowed hard.
The reason everyone is so united is because the order to attack Gawain and assist the Japanese government with the aircraft carriers stationed in Japan was given by him, an admiral.
This decision has caused this trouble for everyone, and the admiral will certainly have to pay the price.
After a moment, faced with the choice between dying for himself and dying for his entire family, the admiral resolutely nodded.
"Your Excellency, I firmly believe that Mr. Gawain's waving gesture is a signal that preparations are complete!"
After all, Mr. Gawain was a rational, elegant, and understanding gentleman.
Therefore, once we confirm that he has communicated with us, he will certainly consider our cultural traditions.
So, I think we can start striking... no, no, no!
"Now we can start fulfilling Mr. Gawain's demands!!!"
After finishing his speech in one breath, the admiral relaxed a little.
My words are being recorded in the whole process, so even if I made a mistake, I shouldn't be punished by Gawain for leaving these words.
It shouldn't be that bad...
Just as the admiral was feeling uneasy, the president nodded in satisfaction and then opened the button protection device that had been prepared in front of him.
Looking at the red button and the series of pre-key procedures, the president silently continued to decipher the security device until he hovered his hand over the button.
Suck.
Call!
The president let out a heavy sigh, then spoke slowly and deliberately to the recording camera.
"Although I am not clear about Mr. Gawain Wen's cultural background, considering that Mr. Gawain debuted in Tokyo..."
Then, I will offer my blessings to Mr. Gawain in a way that is appropriate for Tokyo.
May you have great military success, and may you be blessed by Amaterasu, Mr. Gawain!
At this point, the President pressed the button heavily.
At a distant base, a series of nuclear weapons were unleashed!
Meanwhile, in the heart of the Sahara Desert, Gawain, who was monitoring everything via electrical current, knew that the nuclear missile had been launched, so he smiled and lowered his hand.
"Nuclear weapons, those are truly awe-inspiring weapons."
But who could have imagined that I had actually reached a point where I was qualified to directly challenge nuclear weapons!
I just don't know to what extent I can resist it.
Surely it can't even withstand the first shot?
After muttering this, Gawain gripped the hilt of Shusui's knife with his left hand, pressed his right hand against his knee, closed his eyes, and silently waited until he stood up.
In this process, his mind and Haki are constantly being transformed and purified.
From the fear of nuclear weapons.
Gradually, it has been tempered and transformed into fearlessness towards the past!
In an instant, his Conqueror's Haki, which had only recently undergone a sublimation, actually received an even greater boost...
Although the improvement was not significant.
But an improvement is indeed an improvement.
Just over twenty minutes later, when Gawain raised his head again and opened his eyes...
Boom!!!
Centered on Gawain, a thick ring of sand and dust suddenly appeared in the Sahara Desert, with a diameter of nearly 80 kilometers!
Sensing Gawain's outburst at this moment, the Whitebeard man suddenly opened his eyes.
"Wow, this is incredible! Gawain's Conqueror's Haki is affecting reality on an increasingly wide scale!"
At this rate, he might be able to destroy a medium-sized island just by using his sheer force!
At his current level, I'm afraid no one except monsters could stand upright in front of his Conqueror's Haki!
As Whitebeard finished speaking, Gawain suddenly stood up.
Facing the nuclear bomb that was finally descending from the sky, he slowly drew his Shusui, then let his Haki permeate the Shusui as much as possible!
In an instant, Shusui's blade emitted unimaginable amounts of Armament Haki vapor.
At the same time, Gawain's Armament Haki also began to steam, and the steam even formed a mythical ring-like pattern around Gawain's shoulders and neck!
Meanwhile, inside the White House, those who had been silently observing everything suddenly stood up!
"What kind of power is that?!"
"What about the desert...?"
"Before our nuclear bombs even arrived, the center of the Sahara had already shrunk by several meters!"
"A veritable human nuclear bomb!"
"Those rings around his body are God!"
"Terrifying! That's not the kind of power a ghoul should possess. Could he be an alien?"
"That's right, only aliens can explain it!"
Or perhaps, the gods are actually extraterrestrials?
"Shut the hell up, all of you! Look, his blade is about to hit a nuclear bomb!!!"
The conversation abruptly ended there, because Gawain in the video was now within striking distance of a nuclear weapon!
Nuclear bombs do not have a so-called impact point, so when the front casing of the nuclear bomb hit Shusui, the casing inevitably broke apart!
The next instant, the fission structure encasing the egg-like body exploded with a deafening roar.
The intense heat first penetrated the blade of the Shusui Blade, and then rapidly spread outwards!
Buzzing!!!
At this moment, Gawain some tinnitus, because the air in the nuclear fission core was even affecting the operation of his electrical body.
A moment later, Gawain suddenly sheathed the sword. He had overestimated the structure of Shusui, the Black Blade, because the core of nuclear fission was even close to the sun!
Therefore, he decisively transformed Shusui into plasma mode, and then transformed himself into thunder mode as well.
Although he appeared to withstand the nuclear attack without any apparent pressure.
But in reality, only he himself and the person in his heart know the truth.
He has already lost.
The destructive power and destructive effects of a nuclear bomb are indeed similar to the Dyna Stone in the Pirate World.
But the core of the Dyna Stone is still just an explosion.
And nuclear weapons.
The explosions he caused were always only a small fraction of his full power.
What's truly terrifying about him is his near-sun temperature and ubiquitous radiation!
Therefore, even if Gawain becomes one of the very few in the Pirate World, he still can't withstand a nuclear bomb in his face.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. Although Gawain is very strong now, his expressiveness and art style are far inferior to Superman's.
He is strong, but not strong enough!
It doesn't matter if he's not strong enough. As long as he's better at surviving, he can continue to pursue the path of becoming stronger!
However, while Gawain was filled with regret, the onlookers were filled with disappointment.
After all, what happens when a series of more than a dozen nuclear bombs with different yields and fission modes explode?
As Gawain gripped the sword hilt, they finally noticed that his clothes were completely undamaged.
In Gawain's heart, the Whitebeard crew were filled with regret, because only they knew that Gawain had relied on the fact that this weapon lacked Armament Haki, allowing him to evade by using his elemental transformation ability.
But for those inside the White House...
"Fuck!"
"Fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!"
"This is simply divine!"
My God!
Damn it!
"Damn it!"
Accompanied by a barrage of profanities, the bigwigs broke down one after another.
Even the president could only helplessly rub his short hair.
As he rubbed his head, the president sighed.
"Oh dear, this is terrible! Mr. Gawain... he hasn't changed at all!"
As expected of Mr. Gawain! It seems that the other weapons are just minor experiments to embellish Mr. Gawain's achievements!
As he spoke, the president's previous tension vanished, replaced by a relaxed, reclining posture.
Immediately afterwards, he gently switched on the space-based weapon.
Suddenly, Gawain looked up at the sky.
Feeling the metal rod getting closer and closer, Gawain pursed his lips and smiled expectantly.
"This thing is pure impact force, so it will definitely be heavier than Garp's punch!"
I'm really looking forward to it this time!
