The main ship of the Dark Bird Ship, in the forest area behind the mountain.
A seagull flew by, casually tossing a few newspapers down at the figures below.
This is the Dark Bird Ship, and Mary Geoise is nearby. Morgans specifically instructed that the seagulls responsible for this area should not be charged for delivering newspapers.
After all, Gawain was the biggest boss of the newspaper after he took over Morgans's newspaper. Why would Morgans need to ask Gawain's people for money? They were all colleagues!
At that moment, seeing the newspaper falling from the sky, the bandit Dadan grunted as he got up and caught it.
After holding it in her hand and looking at it for a moment, Dadan gasped in surprise.
"Holy crap, One Pirate King has been resurrected!"
Whitebeard, Kaido, and Linlin were also resurrected?!
Shanks was actually defeated and captured by the Pirate King. Come to think of it, that guy has no reputation to begin with, he gets beaten up all the time. He's lucky to have become one of the Four Emperors. Of course, he couldn't pass the test of the Pirate King.
The key point is, wasn't Pirate King Roger the biological father of that brat Ace?
Hahaha, Ace is finally having more fun! Fate is really kind to these kids! It's great, so great!
As they were talking, Dadan put the newspaper aside and continued to leisurely plant radishes.
In the distance, light footsteps gradually approached, Makino, carrying a basket full of food and wine, came to Dadan's side.
"Big Sister Dadan, your lunch has arrived! Sanji specially prepared veal steak, dumplings, and fried meat for you. I also brought you two bottles of his aged juniper berries~."
"Haha, thanks a lot, Makino! I'm getting up to eat right now!"
Dadan took the basket, spread out the tablecloth inside, and then ate with Makino.
Lately, the two of them have been eating together, since there aren't many people from Foosha Village left on the Dark Bird Ship.
While eating, Magino noticed today's newspaper, so she swallowed her dumplings and reached for the newspaper to read.
As she watched, Makino casually asked a question.
"Sister Dadan, are you really staying on this Dark Bird Ship?"
Gawain has recently moved to Mary Geoise, and most of the people from Foosha Village have followed suit, either moving to Mary Geoise or settling in the nearby Sabaody Archipelago.
The forests and ecosystem on the ship were nice, but they were still a bit lacking compared to real land.
Sister, why are you still guarding this place?
"Tch, what do you mean by guarding this place?"
After hearing Maginot's words, Dadan shook her head nonchalantly.
"I'm not in the mood to guard that place. I just want to see Ace and his gang of brats more."
Young talents like them cannot stay on land for long; they are all sons of the sea and will return to the sea sooner or later!
Don't be fooled by their current well-behaved behavior in Mary Geoise; it's just that the final outcome hasn't arrived yet.
I am absolutely certain that this enormous Dark Bird Ship will not be wasted. Sooner or later, after the world is unified, those brats will be unable to resist the temptation and will beg Lord Gawain to let it sail!
Of course, by then they wouldn't be pirates anymore, but adventurers~."
At this point, Dadan revealed a happy smile; this was something she had never dared to imagine in the past!
In the past, the thought of all her children becoming pirates would make her heart clench, because being a pirate is a dangerous profession where you can easily lose your life!
And adventurers?
Although adventurers also encounter danger, the dangers they face are far less Koby by pirates!
The most crucial thing is...
"Look at our ship, Makino! It's huge! It's probably almost bigger than Tesoro's Golden Ship!"
Do you think Ace or Luffy, when those kids want to Luffy sail, will they plead with Gawain to let them use this ship?
That's for sure, after all, those kids love to show off, and Gawain dotes on them a lot, haha!
So, I have no intention of leaving this ship. I just want to wait until the kids can't stand being alone anymore, then I can come along with this ship and go on adventures with those little devils!
Even though I'm a mountain bandit, there are mountains on the Dark Bird Ship, that's enough!
Although my skills can't help those kids much, if it's just about adventure, then my abilities don't matter. The important thing is that I have a lot of life experience and I understand nature and wilderness survival very well!
In short, I'm tired of just waiting in the mountains to pray for those little devils. This time, I'm going to stay by their side!
If only I could watch them travel with my own eyes, and also take care of those little devils along the way.
When my mother is buried, I can close my eyes and smile, haha!!!
At the same time, the East Blue, and even the whole world.
Everyone received Morgans' newspaper.
Meanwhile, in each of the video snail's playback frames, Kalifa, in her capacity as secretary, also participated in the interview, providing a detailed explanation of Gawain's New World Policy.
With the efforts of numerous channels, the story of the Gawain government reviving veteran pirates and using them to defeat the new generation of pirates has already spread.
Although most people do not believe it is a real resurrection, but only think it is probably a technology such as cloning.
But that still couldn't erase the shock that the end of the pirate era at the hands of pirates brought to people all over the world.
Suddenly, young people all over the world stopped talking about going to sea.
While the propaganda was underway, Gawain's conquest campaign continued unabated.
Akainu has a job to do now. Although he didn't make it to the final battle to end the pirate war, he still has about 60% of the world's various countries that haven't surrendered.
Thus, the new government launched a fierce invasion, and Akainu, as the new Fleet Admiral, led the Neo Marines to conquer cities and territories. With the help of Issho, Araki, and a series of other new Admiral, they planted the Dark Bird flag all over the world.
At the same time, Kuzan repeatedly expanded the police force, and the ever-increasing territory brought great trouble to the security work, but Kuzan was happy to do so.
He was never a pure soldier; he preferred using his own strength to protect and maintain something rather than to fight.
Especially peace.
Police work was a perfect fit for him; he did it with great dedication and was extremely happy.
Like him, other doves also found meaning in their lives through this kind of work.
In a short time, the police force and Akainu's navy worked together to restore equality to countless lands that flew the Dark Bird Flag.
Of course, they only had equality, because the oceans were so chaotic in the past that countless gangs remained all over the world.
As a result, even the police force ended up with countless lives on their hands.
In order to clean up the local gangs, Kuzan action, and his attitude towards cracking down on gangsters was much more proactive Koby his attitude towards cracking down on pirates.
It must be admitted that although most pirates commit all sorts of evil deeds, they are, after all, roving criminals, and the damage they cause to a fixed area is far less than that caused by local gangs.
As for gangs, once any organization's activities involve crime, no matter how benevolent they may seem, they can only bring more harm to more people.
Therefore, Kuzan has become accustomed to the killings of today.
At least for now, he doesn't need to distinguish too much whether his enemies are good or bad.
Pirates also include adventurers like Luffy, and many people who were turned into thieves by the World Government of the past.
And the gangs...
Gangs that have been entrenched in a certain area for a period of time are essentially uncontroversial at their core.
Therefore, in most areas controlled by the Dark Bird Ship, equality did indeed arrive slowly, and nobles and kings were indeed abolished and punished.
But freedom...
I'm sorry.
In such a chaotic era, Gawain has no choice but to act ruthlessly. Freedom? You must be joking!
How could we possibly give freedom to ordinary people? In this day and age, such freedom would only become an opportunity for ambitious people hiding among the common people to rise to power and drag the era back to the way it was in the past!
You have to understand, we're too close to the old era now; people at sea are still quite used to the old ways!
I want freedom...
Gawain would have to wait at least a hundred or two hundred years, until people had completely changed generations, completely forgotten the chaotic sea, and become accustomed to equality.
Equality is a fundamental prerequisite for guaranteeing freedom.
But freedom is not a prerequisite for guaranteeing equality!
Ironically, dictatorship is often the prerequisite for ensuring equality; the more dictatorial a person is, the more likely they are to be the one standing on the high ground...
Have you not seen how Shang Yang was executed by the common people based on the laws he himself promulgated?
As you may recall, during the Hongwu Era reign, when local people escorted corrupt officials they had spontaneously arrested to the capital to appeal to the emperor, local officials were not even allowed to stop them.
This kind of equality in thought and will between commoners and officials in power, which is something even modern times cannot achieve, happened in what seems to be a feudal ancient society.
Because the periods mentioned above were all when dictatorships were at their peak...
In the era of freedom, haha, wasn't it free during the warlord era? Laws varied from place to place, everyone had their own way of life, and you could easily rise to the top. People were incredibly free.
But who would like that kind of freedom?
Many people associate freedom with equality, but in reality, it's the word "freedom" that's forcibly tied to equality.
Because facts have proven that a lack of freedom does not necessarily equate to inequality!
Inequality... does not necessarily mean a lack of freedom!
How ridiculous...
Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, two whole years had gone by.
Now, Gawain has awakened from his throne. He opens his eyes and smiles at the woman beside him.
Retsu Unohana smiled gently at him, then asked softly.
"So this is the New World you're talking about? It certainly looks interesting. I just wonder if the people here have the fighting power of Madara and Hashirama?"
As she spoke, Sister Hua gently pursed her lips, her long hair flowing down her neck and chest, making her smile appear even more radiant Yamato charming.
Hearing Retsu Unohana's words, Gawain nodded slightly.
"My men here are just as good as Madara and Hashirama!"
In the past two years, while Gawain has been immersing himself in the Bleach World, his crew in the Pirate World hasn't given up training.
Only in a world completely unified by Gawain can its people be led by Gawain to other worlds.
Therefore, Gawain brought several excellent ninja teachers, including Tobirama Hiruzen, and Jiraiya, to the Pirate World, instilling the concept of ninjutsu into these powerful individuals at their peak.
For a time, people in the Naruto World learned Haki and the Rokushiki, among other taijutsu techniques, which could enhance their essence and indirectly increase their chakra reserves.
Meanwhile, the pirates mastered the concept of ninjutsu and quickly surpassed their predecessors, popularizing and developing it.
And the Bleach World...
That was the New World battlefield that Gawain had opened up over the past two years, along with Madara, Hashirama, and others.
Compared to Naruto, the Bleach World is a bit more troublesome.
Although their combat strength was slightly higher than the Hokage's, that was nothing to Gawain. The main trouble they caused Gawain was...
That's a world played by a bunch of dead people.
Aside from the identities of the deceased, the people in the world of death are simply too tenacious and their will too unwavering!
If Gawain hadn't overturned the table at the last minute, the Gotei 13 probably still wouldn't have surrendered completely!
What table did Gawain overturn?
He fucking turned himself into the Soul King!
He is still a living, free-spirited Spirit Soul King, far more powerful than the Soul King of the past.
That's why the incredibly handsome old man reluctantly refrained from reciting Gawain's poem about the Kaka Jūmanokushi Daisōjin...
This makes things much easier for the Bleach World.
After all, compared to the complicated politics of other worlds, the Bleach World is far too simple; everything revolves around just a few cunning old immortals.
After dealing with those few old fogies, the world was quickly unified.
Among the Gotei 13, the first to extend an olive branch to Gawain was Hana, who appeared to be Yamato Nadeshiko but was actually a psychopath, and she was also the first to follow Gawain into the New World.
The reason Gawain is returning at this moment is that the world has entered a critical period. On Gawain's map, 99% of the known civilized islands in the Pirate World have been marked with the Dark Bird Flag.
The only thing left is that isolated island of the West Blue Flower Country.
Currently, Akainu is leading an attack on the Flower Country, and the Happo Navy is suffering repeated defeats. The Flower Country could be captured at any moment.
So, Gawain made a special trip back to take a look.
He wanted to witness the moment when the Pirate World was unified, after all, this was the first world he had ever arrived in, and it could be called his main world!
Therefore, at this moment, Gawain did not respond to Retsu Unohana's words, but focused intently on the map in his mind.
As he watched, Gawain grinned.
In the blink of an eye, the world map in his mind turned completely red!
A moment later, Kaya excitedly ran in, clutching her fairytale Den Den Den Mushi).
Kaya wasn't surprised to see Retsu Unohana next to Gawain, because everyone knew about Gawain- sama's little hobby.
So what if a man is lustful? Don't you see that Linlin even more lustful?
In short, Kaya excitedly ran over, holding Den Den Mushi, and shouted.
"Sir, it's a call from Fleet Admiral Sakazuki!"
The Flower Country has been conquered!
