So, Jonathan felt relieved and cautiously sat down opposite Gawain.

Behind him, Lieutenant Colonel Shepat and Major Drake did not dare to sit down.

Looking at their appearance, Gawain gently pressed the air. Seeing this, the two of them had no choice but to sit nervously on both sides of Jonathan.

At the same time, Gion also said hello to Jonathan.

"Long time no see, Lieutenant General Jonathan. I didn't expect us to meet under such circumstances."

"Yes, Lieutenant General Gion, there are always many unexpected things.

But my wife will be very happy to see you. She always talks to me about your friendship in the past!"

While responding to Gion with a smile, Jonathan greeted everyone one by one.

"Welcome, former Deputy Director Shiliu of Impel Down City, and former CP9 elite Miss Kalifa.

There are also Kaisha Jinbe, Bartholomew Bear, and the famous Pirate Empress of the Shichibukai!"

Having said this, Jonathan took off his hat and placed the military hat on his chest.

"When I see you in person, I must admit that your beauty is worthy of being the best in the world!"

"Humph, the Ai family has always been like this!"

Hancock proudly responded to Jonathan's praise.

After praising Hancock, Jonathan turned to smile and said with a smile.

"And you, Mr. Yixiao, who can easily contain and defeat the nine captains of Whitebeard by yourself, you are truly the strongest ronin I have ever seen in my lifetime!

Nabalon Fortress welcomes you!"

"You're welcome!"

Yixiao nodded solemnly to Jonathan.

"I am just a ronin who has found his direction again. I believe that every ronin who has determined his direction will have the opportunity to achieve what I have!"

After saying that, he turned to Gawain with a smile and emotion, that was the direction he was looking for!

And then, when Rayleigh and Xia Qi were waiting for Jonathan's greetings, Jonathan actually fell silent...

This time, the atmosphere became a little colder...

Looking at Jonathan who turned back to Gawain, Rayleigh rubbed his beard thoughtfully.

"Jonathan!"

Riley said suddenly.

"Why, are you no longer able to hold my old rival in your eyes?"

Hearing this, Jonathan pretended to have just seen Rayleigh and suddenly realized something.

"Oh, it turns out that the famous Pluto and Shaoyao, the chief of staff from the Rocks era, are also there, haha!

Look at me, the longer I sit in the position of branch chief, the harder it is to find the pirates. I hope you will forgive me and be considerate of me.

If it were easy for me to see pirates, then I should have been promoted a long time ago, haha!"

While speaking, Jonathan bowed his hands to Rayleigh and Xia Qi.

Seeing Jonathan's thoughtful expression, Xia Qi took out the cigarette case in a funny way.

After taking out two cigarettes, Xia Qi threw one away for Gawain.

Gawain smiled and took the tobacco, then lit it naturally and took a deep breath.

When this scene came into Jonathan's eyes, he calmly felt two more fears.

The power he created at his own risk against the two pirates, Rayleigh and Xia Qi, was so easily dispelled by Xia Qi with just one move!

So, Jonathan smiled at Xia Qi with deep meaning.

He is worthy of being Rox’s chief of staff!

As for Xia Qi, she took a deep breath of cigarette and looked at Jonathan.

Although he used a slightly dangerous method, he clearly pointed out the identity issue of himself and Rayleigh.

The whole ship was indeed just him and Rayleigh, and they still belonged to real pirates!

And Jonathan….

He is worthy of being a well-known wise general in the navy, and Jonathan is ranked among the top three with He and Kong Ming!

Tuk Tuk!

Gawain suddenly knocked on the table.

After attracting the attention of Xia Qi and Jonathan, Gawain smiled and said softly.

“Everyone’s past is always interesting, guys, that past makes us who we are today.

And what if our future and present are as unchangeable as our past.

Why should we make a distinction between the front, the middle, and the back for our destiny?"

Having said this, Gawain reached into the ashtray handed by Kalifa and flicked the ashes.

Then he looked at Jonathan and smiled.

"Lieutenant General Jonathan, Aunt Xia and Uncle Lei are all good seniors.

What's more, no matter whether I was wrong or right in the past, if young people like me want to make strides forward, they will inevitably have to listen to the experiences and advice of some elders.

And the seniors who are willing to give me some advice, no matter what environment they were in in the past.

Now, they are just seniors who look forward to me!

What do you think?"

Having said this, Gawain lowered his eyelids slightly and looked at Jonathan silently.

As for Jonathan, he thought for a moment and nodded gently.

"What a profound insight, sir. If I had heard these words from you when I was young, maybe I would have worked harder and have a better future!

Having the opportunity to receive you today is truly the luckiest thing that has happened to me, Jonathan, in recent years!"

As Jonathan answered, he stood up and bowed to Gawain. Then he turned to Rayleigh and Shaqi and bowed solemnly as well.

"I'm sorry, Lei Li, Xia Qi, and please forgive me for my previous prejudice against you.

Hey, prejudice is like a big mountain, even though I know clearly that what you are doing now has already transcended the category of pirates.

But my narrow mind, which is far beyond comparison with that of Gao Wensheng, still made me fall into the cage of prejudice!"

Having said this, Jonathan took a deep breath and continued to speak apologetically to Xia Qi and Lei Li.

"It's ridiculous that I'm actually called a wise general. How can I, who can't even see through a small prejudice, be qualified to bear such a high reputation?

Fortunately, I haven't had time to make a big mistake yet. Fortunately, I didn't have any doubts about you and Gao Wensheng's entire team because of your past identities as pirates!

As for me, please rest assured that I will definitely absorb today’s mistakes and no longer look at pirates, a word associated with evil, from a one-sided perspective!”

Having said this, Jonathan took a deep breath, Sakaski, I have almost done what you want me to do!

As for more dangerous things, I'm sorry, Sakaski...

My wife is still in Nabalon Fortress, so there is no need for me to continue taking risks!

At the same time, opposite Jonathan.

As expected, Rayleigh frowned and couldn't help but ponder something.

His identity as a legendary pirate has already become an impression in the minds of too many people. Even Jonathan, who is known as Chisho, cannot let go of it for a while.

Then will my existence cause more people to have special impressions and prejudices about the future Black Bird Group because of me?

As for Xia Qi, she took a deep breath of smoke, and then looked at the three bears thoughtfully.

Although they are all pirates, only he and Rayleigh receive special treatment?

So, what Jonathan means is..., Shichibukai!

Thinking of this, Xia Qi looked at Lei Li. With just one glance, she knew what the old ghost was thinking.

After living together for so many years, no one knows Lei Li better than Xia Qi. In Xia Qi's eyes, Lei Li has already made up his mind!

But... Xia Qi always felt that Lei Li's determination might have nothing to do with the Shichibukai!

And Gawain…….

Xia Qi looked at Gawain, she wanted to see what Gawain thought of Jonathan's profound words!

But it's a pity that after just one glance, she couldn't help but turn her head.

Come on, unlike before, she couldn't tell Gawain's thoughts at all.

Seeing Gawain's unchanging expression, Xia Qi let out a breath of admiration.

Because Gawain's Qi-nurturing skills not only surpassed most people in this sea, he also surpassed himself a month ago!
