But he could not tell Good any of this. With Good's ruthlessness, he might well kill Luffy before he could grow.
"The day the world welcomes change!"
"Gyehahaha, that's certainly true!"
Good laughed.
Quite a slippery answer. It amounted to saying nothing at all.
But he truly could not understand why anyone would stake everything on a fool. How could Luffy change the world with what little political sense he had? Even if he really defeated the World Government, then what?
Could he really change the world?
Or would it be like the Shinobi World, with Boruto playing out a dozen years later, only for the world to remain the same in the end, without a single change?
Shanks did not want to get further entangled with Good. He looked at Whitebeard and explained why he had come. "I'm here because of Blackbeard!"
"Whitebeard, I've fought countless battles, but now only the scars over my eye still ache. Your subordinate Blackbeard gave me these wounds!"
"Teach is strong-"
"Enough nonsense!"
Whitebeard cut Red Hair off.
"I already discussed Teach with Good just now. Tell me straight: what do you want me to do?"
"..."
Shanks fell silent for several seconds.
"Call Ace back!"
"Gurararara, how ridiculous!"
Whitebeard laughed in his fury, drained his drink, and smashed the jug down beside Red Hair. "You snot-nosed brat can't even see things as clearly as Good. Wait another hundred years before you try ordering me around!"
"..."
Shanks said nothing. He picked up his bowl and gulped down the wine.
Once he had finished it all,
Shanks drew his sword.
Whitebeard brought out his naginata.
"This era is going to spiral out of control!"
"So what? I'm Whitebeard!"
Clang!
Their blades collided, and fierce winds howled.
The sky... split open yet again!
Good
