On the Dark Bird Ship, Gawain awoke from his drowsiness.

As soon as he awoke, he heard the voices of those people in his mind talking.

The Whitebeard looked somewhat displeased, and as he rubbed his beard, he spoke.

"The people in this world are far from honest and kind."

Let alone looking at the whole world, Gawain is already overwhelmed with Gawain just dealing with Tokyo and Japan.

Those troublemakers deserve to die! They're all treacherous and backstabbing.

They fear power but don't appreciate virtue; their Japan are truly awful. I always felt that if Gawain had started in a different country, things might have been much better!

Whitebeard sullenly took a swig of his drink, then took a big bite of the pork leg.

The food at the Xianyang Palace was particularly delicious. Although it wasn't quite at the level of a top chef, the basic taste was definitely good.

However, no matter how delicious the food was, it couldn't calm him down.

The thought that all her suffering had been in vain makes her feel itchy all over.

Beside him, Tokikake a sip of tea, then put down his teacup and smiled.

"That's just how humans are, Newgate. You shouldn't worry about whether they're obedient or not."

You pirates just recklessly charge through any problem you encounter without ever considering the consequences.

But our navy, well, even in our own world, we've encountered countless troublemakers..."

As he spoke, Tokikake he was sliding his hand across the table.

"What help to pirates, what false reporting of losses? There are so many problems with the poor people alone, and you can't do anything about them!"

When faced with warnings of natural disasters, one must desperately persuade the poor to relocate.

They were reluctant to leave, yet unwilling to move, and even demanded that we use force before they would obey.

These are just ordinary people; those people have low levels of education and aren't very good at causing trouble behind people's backs.

This was especially true when I encountered nobles. Those nobles, even if their homes were only burgled, would describe it to me as if their homes had just been robbed by the Four Emperors, and would find all sorts of ways to apply for reductions in their annuities.

In short, those guys in the Japan are just like everyone else in our world—they're all people who won't give up when they see benefits, yet they're unwilling to take responsibility, and they don't want to wait.

They seem to have done a great job of popularizing education, so most people have become a bit smarter, but simply having more brains doesn't necessarily make their personalities any better.

"Yes."

Hina to the side, rubbed her brow in frustration.

"Although Hina was bound, she kept a close eye on Gawain."

Oh, I really feel sorry for the adults.

He clearly saved the ghouls in Tokyo, balanced the relationship between ghouls and humans in the Japan, and also severely punished corruption among Japan officials and greed among Japan capitalists.

However, it was merely that officials and capitalists bribed the media to slander and frame adults through rumors in various tabloids and mainstream media.

As a result, Japan residents actually believed those rumors, to the point that the adults worried about them every day, while they turned around and held a protest, demanding that the adults return power to the descendants of the Emperor.

The adults initially tried to appease them, but this was to no avail. Propaganda from all sides and the demonized narratives from Western folklore turned Japan people into fanatics.

Groups of children and women were manipulated into forming marches, which repeatedly blocked adults' houses during demonstrations.

Faced with this problem, the adults had no choice but to take drastic measures, completely sealing off the country of Japan, and incidentally killing the Emperor, while also wiping out all the capitalists in one fell swoop.

Even so, the remaining frightened civilians were still full of resentment, and even if they obediently hid at home, they were unwilling to cooperate with the adults' work.

If you ask me, adults might as well be a little more wicked in situations like this.

Good people may be able to save the world, but good people really can't manage the world they've saved.

If the adults were more like normal Celestial Dragon, would they then go on a killing spree?

If enough people are killed, at least an entire generation will be silenced.

"Damn it, Hina even suspected that the Void Century in our world might have been a similar operation."

Who knows?

Hina, Kaido shook his head, holding his gourd of sake.

"From the perspective of a ruler, Lao Tzu actually understands World Government a little better now."

Although Lao Tzu once vehemently disliked the World Government, after we stood behind Gawain and truly ruled a country...

Ah, te!

Damn it, modern people are even more troublesome than those stubborn fools from Wano Country!

I really don't know what Gawain is going to do next to clean up our world!

"No matter what he does, Gawain will at least need to cooperate with some people."

Whitebeard picked up where Kaido, pondering as he continued.

"I originally hoped that Gawain would leave more decisively, such as overthrowing the World Government."

But now that I think about it, that kind of thinking was really too simplistic.

The oceans today are home to hundreds of countries, and the order between them is indeed barely maintained by World Government.

If the World Government collapses first, who knows how much chaos will erupt in countries around the world!

Therefore, I now believe that Gawain should rightfully inherit everything from the World Government!

We don't need to overthrow the World Government; we just need to become the World Government. Then, we can stand on the existing social foundation and gradually change the world's environment!

In the previous world, I heard Gawain's group of people say something like this.

The hero who slays the dragon eventually becomes the Arlong.

Looking back now, it makes perfect sense that we and Gawain should replace the World Government.

Haven't we become the Arlong in everyone's eyes?

But who says that when Arlong kidnaps a princess, it's always to possess her?

As Arlong, can we also choose to give princesses pedicures and haircuts?

According to those netizens from the last world...

What's that called?

Jade feet?

In short, haha, the Arlong in people's eyes is just an image. As long as I can do better than the World Government, we have a chance to become the Dragon King through several eras!

At this point, the Whitebeard grinned, his smile as generous and simple as ever.

Meanwhile, aboard the Dark Bird Ship, after hearing Whitebeard's words, Gawain, seated on the Golden Throne, chuckled and shook his head.

If only everything were that simple.

In reality, the necessary conditions for ruling are far beyond what ordinary people imagine.

Even in games where loyalty is visible, getting all characters to be loyal to you will be the ultimate challenge.

Not to mention real life, which is ten thousand times more complex than games.

However, just because it's difficult doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

The more difficult the task, the more we must rise to the challenge.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Gawain shook off the frustration brought on by the Tokyo Ghoul world and turned to look around the throne.

Well, he was all alone; it seemed that once he sat on the Golden Throne, his existence was deified by the entire ship.

As a result, the palace where he lived almost became a temple, and as a result, almost no one would approach it when there was nothing to do.

Therefore, Gawain activated his Observation Haki and looked at the entire Dark Bird Ship.

There weren't many people on the ship; it seemed most of them were either at work or had gone to rest in nearby Sabaody.

After a brief search, Gawain caught a glimpse of Yi Xiao and whispered something to her.

"A smile."

"Oh?"

Hearing the voice that suddenly rang in his mind, Yi Xiao stopped playing cards and stood up from the card table.

"Ahem, sir, today is my day off. I certainly didn't leave early or anything like that..."

After offering an explanation, Yixiao glanced guiltily to his left and right.

In the past year, due to the complete defeat of the pirates, the Grand Line has become as peaceful as a calm well.

The petty thieves in the Grand Line were all killed by Gawain.

As for the powerful figures that Gawain couldn't easily deal with, they all hid in a corner and didn't make a move for a long time.

Therefore, there are monsters like Ikkyou.

They haven't had a chance to make a move for a whole year.

As for the few remaining individuals who occasionally appeared, they were able to barely withstand Gawain's lightning.

The young people on the Dark Bird Ship were all waiting. As soon as such a sinner appeared, the young man would immediately call out to his friends and rush over!

By this time, Zoro and Sanji had grown up and become the latest generation of twin stars.

Luffy, on the other hand, became so bored at sea that he lost all his energy, and his progress in strength slowed down considerably.

Meanwhile, having experienced many great battles, Ace had basically stabilized his strength at the level of a top-three Shichibukai, reaching a level close to that of Admiral and Four Emperors.

Of course, there are no more Four Emperors now.

In the New World right now, there's only one Emperors of the Sea: Red-Haired Shanks!

The New World has become a one-man show dominated by the Red-Haired Shanks!

And Blackbeard, the only one in the New World qualified to challenge Red-Haired Shanks.

That guy's incredibly sneaky; he never leaves his lair.

Of course, his current base has now moved to Beehive Island!

After the Battle of Mary Geoise, Ochoku Zhiben was already dead, and Beehive Island was left leaderless.

Therefore, Whitebeard's remnants quickly regrouped with Beehive Island, Marco the Phoenix, supporting his younger brother Blackbeard, swiftly raised Blackbeard's banner.

However, apart from that, lacking top-tier combat power, they were not qualified to be enemies with Red-Haired Shanks, who was at his peak.

After all, Red-Haired Shanks did lose some crew members in the Battle of Mary Geoise.

But first of all, the key members of the Red-Haired Pirates, Beckman, Yasopp, and Lucky Roux, are all safe and sound.

On the other hand, after Big Mom's death, her children, led by Katakuri, submitted to Red-Haired Shanks and longed to follow Red-Haired Shanks in challenging the World Government in order to avenge Big Mom.

With Katakuri taking the lead, the remaining members of the Four Emperors' forces in the New World quickly surrounded Red-Haired Shanks, forming a terrifying Red-Haired Shanks Grand Fleet almost comparable to that of the Rocks era.

Therefore, for a whole year, the only thing the idle naval powerhouses and the Dark Bird Ship's crew could do was get together and discuss whether or not to invade the New World in exchange for the complete annihilation of the pirates!

Akainu's opinion was undoubtedly to fight.

Aokiji, on the other hand, remained calm.

Their conflict even involved the Dark Bird Alliance.

The Dark Bird Alliance has now also seen the emergence of factions among its executives. The Hawk Card, led by Issho and Bullet, is determined to join forces with Akainu to attack the New World and gather the power of countless monsters to completely end the pirates.

The doves, led by Mihawk and Kuma, decided to continue stabilizing the situation on the Grand Line, and then look for opportunities to infiltrate the Four Blues, leaving the New World to be dealt with last.

These past few days, Eagle Brand and Ge Pao have been arguing non-stop, to the point that even they themselves are annoyed.

Mihawk went to the Red Line to practice his swordsmanship, Kuma went to the ship's cabin to write a book, Bullet returned to Impel Down, supposedly to hone his skills there.

As for Yixiao, with nothing to do, he went to Sabaody Island and returned to his old profession: gambling.

In short, at this point, the Dark Bird Alliance and the Navy were completely divided into two factions.

As for the rest of the people, there was Rayleigh, Garp, and Gawain's women.

They didn't care about the hawks or doves; they all sat near Reverse Mountain, enjoying the flowers and the moon, completely at ease.

Seeing this situation, Yixiao felt a pang of pain in her heart.

But he was powerless, because he lacked the qualifications and strength to influence the entire Dark Bird Alliance and the Navy.

At this moment, hearing Gawain's voice, Yi Xiao was incredibly excited!

After a year's hiatus, Gawain has finally made his voice heard again!

At this moment, Yi Xiao understood that the conflict that had been raging between them was finally about to come to a complete end!

The reason they are plagued by internal conflicts is because they have lost the voice and will that has always guided them!

In a short moment, Gawain's ability to Voice of All Things allowed him to glean so much information from Yi Xiao's mind.

This information startled Gawain slightly, then he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

Even his own subordinates, even those who had followed him for over two years.

They themselves couldn't fully understand their own plans either.

A year after I left, they actually split into two factions, causing unease among everyone on the ship.

Why...

After letting out a sigh, Gawain slowly stood up, gripping the armrest of the throne.

That year, even though his body did nothing.

After continuously absorbing Kaido's physique and the talents of Whitebeard and others, while also enduring the constant tempering of the Thunder Structure.

His body was even stronger than when he left.

However, once he left the Golden Throne, he lost the amplification from the Thunder Structure and the assistance from Vegapunk's brain.

In an instant, all kinds of information from all over the world rushed into his mind!

Before he could even go to Sabaody to find Yixiao as planned...

At that moment, he witnessed over eight hundred crimes...

Okay, Gawain took a deep breath and then focused his attention on the world around him.

In an instant, Gawain's lightning clones appeared in countless regions!

Unlike Vegapunk's intelligent auxiliary brain, Gawain was willing to expend more energy to materialize himself before the world, rather than conserve energy to unleash a mere wisp of lightning.

In this way, Gawain simultaneously took on the handling of various cases around the world.

After temporarily taking over, Gawain, with a slightly tired mind, personally traveled to the Sabaody Archipelago.

A moment later, he looked at Gawain, who, though slightly tired, still had the same domineering and authoritative Gawain.

Yi Xiao excitedly gripped the sword hilt and knelt down with a thud.

"My lord, you have finally stepped down from that throne once more!"
