Chapter 387 Whitebeard’s plea!
As long as the strong, no one will care about the thoughts and demands of the weak, and will carry out the law of the jungle to the end.
Even ordinary people under the rule of the franchising countries are mostly just 'tools' to live a hard life.
Even Roger has never been so arrogant.
but now,
Whitebeard really saw such a person.
This statement is strange, but when he was young, Whitebeard, who was born in a non-franchised country, also had a dark childhood.
Pirates plundered and war burned, but the dove of peace would never stop in that land.
Some are just crows all over the sky, accompanied by cries, cries, howls,
But no one has ever paid attention to the demands of the weak in that land.
there has never been!
Edward Newgate grew up in that environment.
He was luckier than his peers, possessing high talents, and was able to survive by relying on his own force at a young age.
Yet he could not save others, others who were as miserable as he was.
It was a bit difficult to protect himself with the power brought by that talent, after all, he was born in a hellish place called the New World.
sometimes,
Edward Newgate had hoped that someone would come to their aid.
But...no, nothing.
In this abandoned world, in this narrow world filled with pirates, blood and fire.
There is never justice or order, there are only rules set by the strong.
But preferential treatment by rules has nothing to do with the weak.
From that moment on, Edward Newgate became Whitebeard and traveled the world to become powerful.
When he joined the Rocks Pirates, Rocks once asked him what he was pursuing.
Whitebeard’s answer is ‘family’
But he did not leave the place where there was internal strife because he thought he was not strong enough.
Until following Rocks and experiencing the Valley of Gods incident, the Rocks Pirates disintegrated.
Whitebeard just left and went to the sea to start a family of his own.
At that time, he did not forget his hometown.
Because he is a strong man, Whitebeard protected his hometown. Because he is a strong man, he has enough loot to help rebuild his hometown.
As a result, it has become a paradise for foreigners and not domestically.
In addition, there are many places that are also under his protection, and they also live a not so good but at least stable life.
It occupies almost half of the islands in the New World.
But that's already Whitebeard's limit.
In a way, the young man before me resembled Edward Newgate.
But there are fundamental differences between them.
Roger has the temper of a child, and his crew is more important than anything else. Under extreme conditions, it is possible to massacre an entire country for his crew.
He himself is family, home, and then the weak.
In other words, the peaceful life of the weak is the order he expected, so he has found peace.
Rather than giving peace to the weak, that's why this order was created.
The order before and after brings completely different meanings.
"If you had appeared decades earlier, maybe I would have followed you?"
In Margao's incredible eyes, Whitebeard said these words.
Ron was stunned, then seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but smile: "Have you ever dreamed of justice falling from the sky?"
"The reality is that there is no justice that falls from the sky, only the power in one's own hands."
Edward Newgate shook his head: "So there was that idea decades ago, but now, family is more important than those things that were expected in the past.
It is precisely because of this that I admire you, at least until you change your mind.
It’s not like people can remember the ‘things’ they once expected after becoming stronger.”
"Is this recognition?"
Ron felt a little flattered.
"Yes, but this recognition is personal. Before you, there was Roger.
But when we meet, our personal feelings will never affect the team's affairs. "
"me too."
"Then let's get back to business, I already know your pursuit and bottom line.
It is impossible for you to hand over the Tianlong people unconditionally.
Money, treasure, beauty, and power are meaningless to people like you.
You may even be willing to sacrifice your life to achieve your goals.
Just like the fight you had with me to learn how to be dominant.
I have no choice but to agree to your request, but I will not fight this war to the end. "
Whitebeard said calmly: "Ace is my family, and Margao and the others are also my family.
Family members can do whatever it takes to save their families, but they cannot become other people's pawns and bleed for no reason for other people's plans. "
Speaking of which,
Whitebeard paused, looked at Ron and said seriously: "If you are a prophet, you will definitely be able to see what happens next.
On the other hand, can I also think that what you want comes before my bottom line? "
".The wisdom of the old man?"
Ron sighed and made a clear showdown: "More than eight lieutenant generals, the backbone of the navy who participated in more than half of the war.
I know you can do it. The power of the earthquake fruit is to cause large-scale destruction.
This is the bottom line and cannot be compromised no matter what. "
"I thought you were talking about Akainu, Kizaru and the others."
Whitebeard's eyes changed slightly, seeming a little surprised.
"Which of the strong men at the top can be easily solved? I'm not naive enough to do that."
Whether it's Kizaru, Akainu or Aokiji.
The evaluation in the original book is that it is the strongest generation in the history of the Navy Headquarters.
Their strength will obviously be stronger than that of the Warring States Period.
Although it is not clear whether the three generals have domineering qualities and whether they have dominating skills, their overall strength must be at the level of the four emperors.
In other words, the top level.
Even with the blessing of the Word Spirit, Whitebeard, who was more powerful than before, would not have a chance to kill anyone with an absolute numerical disadvantage.
Maybe Whitebeard is the strongest, but there are at least four or five people on the same level as him.
Ron would not think so naively for the time being.
The method of targeting the three generals was not just killing them.
"So, happy working together?"
Whitebeard said.
"Yeah, I'm happy I sold one too."
Ron answered him briskly.
"one?"
Margao's expression changed slightly, and he felt a little stressed just by hearing the details of the transaction.
Although the Tianlong people do have such value, just change it.
"That's it, Margao."
Whitebeard stopped him in the next second and said calmly: "What else do you want?"
"Another transaction is related to you."
Ron didn't cover up and said bluntly: "You should be able to feel it, right?
The foundation of immortal power is not the power to ignore death all the time. "
"."
Whitebeard didn't speak, just nodded.
“If I’m not wrong, the test condition is that willpower will get faster and faster as time goes by, and the requirements for willpower will be higher.
Although you can recover after stopping fighting, there are limits to the treatment methods.
At a certain stage, there is no way to recover. When the willpower fails to pass the test, death will come.
I think that a legend will inevitably die in the war, but the power of the legend may be passed down. "
It's a subtle way of saying it, even a euphemism.
But the meaning inside is chilling, at least that's what Margao thinks.
He opened his mouth, just about to say something.
His father turned to look at him, shook his head, and then gestured for him to leave.
"Daddy"
"Go outside and see if any navy comes to inspect. The disappearance of Thunder God Island may attract the navy's attention.
They are very alert and nervous now. If they find out what is going on here, they will cause us trouble.
This is the captain's order. It's also dad's order, son. "
"yes"
Margao left anyway.
Whitebeard was silent for a moment and then said: "Can demonic abilities also be captured?"
"I am special, and it doesn't matter if I have one more incredible thing about me."
Ron said softly: "Your power is very important to me, but the price is that the body cannot be preserved."
"That's not important. I'm a pirate and don't care about that kind of thing."
Whitebeard's tone became gentler: "I care about my family, so - it's not enough."
"what do you want?"
"Security, security for your family."
"Is this a deal?"
"Perhaps a plea?"
".How could I have such a dream after being begged by the Four Emperors Whitebeard?"
"The person in front of you is not the Four Emperors, just a father."
Whitebeard said: "There is only one strong person in your world, so everyone else is just a weak person who obeys, right?
That being the case, why can't my sons be one of them?
They are ostracized by society, but they may live well under your gaze. "
"As long as they are not pirates, they should not violate my rules."
Ron spread his hands and asked curiously: "Why are you so confident in me? The World Government has never been defeated in eight hundred years, and I am just a nineteen-year-old young man."
"It is precisely because you are nineteen years old, and precisely because you are still young, that I think so.
Whether it's demonic abilities or this power, there are so many incredible things about you.
Even if you place your trust in something that you thought was unrealistic in the past, is there anything surprising?
Whether it is the Yonko or his father, in the end they are just human beings.
Praying to God will never give you an answer, but praying to you may yield different results. "
Whitebeard's voice lowered: "I want to give them a chance, a chance to live quietly.
Whether they can control it or not is their business. Parents cannot protect them for their entire lives.
This is the only compensation that my father can leave behind before he bids farewell.
If you fail, you will just go back to the position of being hunted. "
Yes,
The position of being hunted.
This is the future as Edward Newgate sees it. (End of chapter)
