Although there was no great pirate era at that time, pirates in the New World were not as rampant as they are now.

But even so, we who cannot afford the heavenly gold have still become another lawless zone in the new world!

Because there were no troops to garrison, my hometown quickly became a gathering place for lawless people, and then it became a place of lawlessness.

At that time, like other children, I completely lost my smile!

So, remember, Gawain!

The reason why I want to protect the smiles of children all over the world is because I have experienced enough pain caused to me by the world government, heavenly gold, and you, the Draco!

So, I have only one choice!

If there really is a day when you block the Grand Route.

That old man is destined to fight you to the death on the Red Earth Continent for the future of pirates!"

After the words fell, the white beard stood up. He wrapped himself in a bath towel and directly picked up the wine bottle.

After taking a big gulp of the wine in the pot, Whitebeard turned around to leave, but at this moment, Gawain smiled.

"Newgate, please sit down for a moment!"

He greeted Whitebeard.

Hearing this, Whitebeard finally stopped and turned around to look at Gawain.

Facing Whitebeard's tepid eyes, but filled with pride, Gawain smiled.

"You have confused a crucial point, my friend.

That is, the world government is your enemy!

The one who destroyed your hometown is the World Government, and the one who will attack you in the future will also be the World Government!

Think about it carefully, what did I do to you during this process?"

"Haha, Gawain, just based on this plan to eradicate all pirates in the Grand Line, you might as well tell me what you did to the pirates!"

Hearing this, Whitebeard simply sat down again, and the two figures, one tall and one short, faced off again in the hot spring.

Looking at the white beard in front of him, Gawain smiled and waved his hand.

"Look, something interesting has happened. Isn't what I want to do what you have been doing all along?"

Gawain gently pointed at Whitebeard's eyes.

"In the new world, don't you also have your own territory?

So, will you allow the passing pirates to plunder the land under your name?"

After saying this, Gawain clapped his hands gently.

"Although, I said all that is more serious, but regardless of the seriousness, what I did is basically something that even you pirates are qualified to do and have always done!

In this case, tell me, the reason why I became your enemy is because I want the people in my territory to have a better living environment?

If it's not because of this, then what's the reason, because when it comes to dealing with the pirates who pass through the territory, am I destined to be more thorough than you?"

After the words fell, Gawain turned away his white beard and his eyes became more and more serious, and then he continued.

"As for the world government you mentioned, haha.

Newgate, the world government is also my opponent, and this is the second thing we have in common.

Of course, the World Government and I may not become pure enemies, but you and I both know that.

When we reach a certain level of strength, we are no longer qualified to be friends with everyone!

Now you speak to me in indignation and resolve to make the decision you are making now at some time in the future.

But in the future, are you sure that you in the future will think like you do now?

As a person, I never like to use conspiracy.

It’s not that I disdain conspiracy. As a kind of means, there is nothing worthy of contempt in conspiracy.

But why don't I like it? Because any conspiracy has a chance of failure.

But Yangmou is different!

Conspiracy is king, so when we stood together and chatted, I had achieved my goal."

Gawain stood up with a smile, went to get new wine, and then poured a glass for himself.

After pouring it for himself, he handed the wine bottle directly to Whitebeard.

Whitebeard took the wine flask thoughtfully, while Gawain held the wine glass and continued to speak to him.

"You said you have only one choice, and that is to fight me to the death on the Red Earth Continent after I cut off the New World and the Great Route.

But the decisive battle was never your unilateral decision, Newgate.

As you said yourself, you are a pirate, and pirates are never monolithic!

Before that, what I talk to you about is both what I hope to do and what I hope you will do.

But there was only one thing I didn't talk about, and that was...

What can I give you!

Of course, you and I have both said that you have a white beard.

I know that even if I promise you that I will protect every one of your sons.

Even so, you are not willing to be my helper.

Although you are approaching seventy, you know your body better than others, as you age.

Although you know that when you reach your limit and leave this world, without my help, your son and the large fleet will inevitably become food in the mouths of the other four emperors.

Although you know that, this is your character and you won't change it.

You are willing to sacrifice for your sons, and they are willing to sacrifice for you at any time. This is the real Whitebeard Pirates.

But what about the other pirate emperors?”

Gawain tapped his cup with his index finger.

"Look, what I want you to do is no different from what you are living now.

You have been staying in the new world now and have never tried to assemble the four emperors to charge against the navy and the world government.

As for my decision to cut off the future of pirates, of course it will affect your future, but for your present, I will not cause you any harm!

If you are allowed to live in the new world, will such a method take away every companion of you, the Pirate Emperor? Will such a decision bring you any unplanned pain?

Not at all!

So, Newgate, even if you reject me, are you sure that each of the four of you will reject my invitation?

After all, one Pirate Emperor can stabilize the situation in the new world. Does that person have to be you?

And after listening to what I said, can you really maintain your trust in the other three pirate emperors forever?"

I saw Gawain lift the cup in his hand.

"I'm sorry, my words were a bit too intense, but apart from the words, I have expressed everything I wanted to express.

If you're smart enough, you should have guessed it, Newgate.

When I meet the other Yonko in the future, when I talk to them individually and let them know that I have talked with every Yonko.

Then I don’t need to consider your decision anymore, because the meeting itself is my real purpose!

After all, if you want to fight decisively, the four of you must first be completely united.

But..., I have destroyed your mutual trust.

In the future, as long as I try my best to suppress the navy and never let the navy completely force you pirates to a rope.

You who have lost trust have also lost the prerequisite for seamless cooperation.

Then the situation in the new world has become what I want!"

Having said this, Gawain touched the wine bottle that Whitebeard was hanging in the air with his wine glass.

"Mr. Newgate, do you understand me now?

This meeting between you and me is your greatest help to me.

So please drink your fill of this glass of wine.
Chapter completed!
