Wang Shi's Excuse

Upon hearing Shamrock publicly invite him in front of so many royals and nobles, Wang Shi remained perfectly calm.

Wasn't this just an attempt to get him to Mary Geoise as soon as possible?

To thoroughly stamp Wang Shi with the World Government's label.

"Alas, becoming a Celestial Dragon would mean giving up my position as emperor and leaving my people behind."

"To be honest, Saint Shamrock, after today, I've come to understand that I truly cannot bear to part with my people."

"For the people of Goa, for peace across the Four Blues, I am willing to give up this precious opportunity to become a Celestial Dragon and continue contributing to world peace in the lower world."

"I hope the Five Elders and Saint Shamrock can understand my painstaking intentions."

Wang Shi put on the appearance of painfully giving up his chance to become a Celestial Dragon for the sake of his people. He raised his head at a forty-five-degree angle, refusing to let the tears brimming in his eyes fall.

Wang Shi's move left Shamrock stunned!

No! Brother!

Back then, you said that as long as the danger posed by Whitebeard and the issue with Nefertari Vivi were resolved, you'd be willing to become a Celestial Dragon and a Holy Knight.

Shamrock had even pounded his chest before the Five Elders, promising to bring Wang Shi back to Mary Geoise.

Was Wang Shi trying to make his mission fail?

The moment he thought of Lord Imu's terrifying gaze after a failed mission...

Saint Shamrock shuddered.

Wang Shi, you bastard, you can't screw me over like this!

Before, you were afraid of going to war with Whitebeard, so you used Nefertari Vivi as an excuse.

And now you're using your reluctance to leave your people as an excuse? Are
