After a long time...

Titch finally stopped crying with his true feelings.

He vented his excesses and completely accepted this cruel reality.

Eventually, Tiki glanced at Galen hatefully, not wanting to look further at the man who had pushed him into the abyss of being a good man.

"Ace, let's go..."

Titch shook his head a little weakly and sighed:

"It's time for us to go back."

With that, Tiki prepared to leave Wano Country with Ace, as far away from the hateful Galen as possible.

"Wait."

Galen suddenly called out to them, and said thoughtlessly:

"Brother Tichy, Brother Ace."

"It just so happens that you are here, and I have something I want you to bring back to Whitebeard's seniors."

Titch's eyes were hollow and his expression was low, like a soulless walking corpse.

He paid no attention to Galen's thoughts, nor did he react to Galen's words.

Ace didn't understand the grievances and entanglements between Titch and Galen until now, but he temporarily hid the incomprehension in his heart, and asked seriously following Galen's words:

"To Whitebeard's Daddy?"

"Brother Galen, what do you want us to bring?"

"That's right..."

Galen straightened his face and said to Ace seriously:

"Ace, I believe you also know that League of Legends has been officially established."

"And the meaning of the Alliance's existence is to overthrow the three mountains of pirates, nobles, and world governments that weigh on the heads of people all over the world."

"Not only do we have to fight against the world government, but we also have absolutely zero tolerance for pirate activities."

"So, you Whitebeard Pirates..."

"What?!"

Ace faintly heard something wrong, and couldn't help but be shocked:

"Brother Galen, you don't want to attack our Whitebeard Pirates, do you?"

The successive downfalls of Aunt and Kaido made the melon-eating masses on the sea speculate whether Galen would continue to attack the next Four Emperors after he was full.

But the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates knew that Galen had a good relationship with Ace and Teach, and the two had never had any excessive conflicts, so they didn't worry much about Galen turning his face and not recognizing anyone.

However, now hearing Galen say this, Ace immediately felt a little flustered in his heart.

And Tichy, who had completely turned into a salted fish, was finally aroused by this sudden change, and couldn't help but cast a not slightly shocked gaze at Galen.

"Of course not."

Galen temporarily calmed Ace's emotions and explained in detail:

"The friendly relationship between the Alliance and the Whitebeard Pirates has always been stable, how could I turn my face and deny anyone?"

"Moreover, you Whitebeard Pirates are doing the right thing about running their territory and protecting civilians, which is different from the kind of pirates defined by our alliance."

Although the pirates in the Whitebeard Pirates carry a skull flag, they never do the dirty business of robbing houses, but only live by collecting protection money.

Moreover, the protection fees they charge are ten times cheaper than the heavenly gold of the world government, and the protection of civilians in their territory is also ten times stronger than that of the navy.

Except for a few supernovas who will pop up in the next two years and always want to make some big news, there are really no pirates who dare to make trouble on Whitebeard's territory.

Thanks to this, the inhabitants of Whitebeard's realm have gained hard-won peace in this chaotic new world.

Therefore, that sea area is obviously an extralegal place occupied by pirates, but on the contrary, it is managed by Whitebeard, the leader of the sea pirates, to taste the paradise of troubled times.

In the face of these fake pirates, Galen was really embarrassed to speak with his fists simply and rudely like he used to deal with Big Mom and Kaido.

However, the question of unifying the new world still needs to be solved after all.

"Although you have a good style, you are still a nominal pirate organization after all."

Galen slowed down his tone and said in a gentle tone:

"If our alliance wants to completely crack down on pirate activities, it will definitely not have a good impact if we let such a large pirate group in the new world."

"So, I'd like to invite you to join League of Legends."

"What?"

Out of love for the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace is vigilant as if he has persecution paranoia:

"You want to annex our Whitebeard Pirates?!"

"Nope."

"Annexation by force is the last thing our alliance wants to see."

Galen shook his head and gave Ace a solution:

"We will not touch the members, property, and territories under the jurisdiction of the Whitebeard Pirates."

"All you need to do is join the League of Legends and recognize yourself as a part of the League."

"That's not going to work either."

Ace was not impressed by this favorable condition at all, but shook his head very decisively:

"Let's not be pirates, go to the League to be heroes?"

"Daddy and his brothers would never agree."

Although they usually do heroic things, these fake pirates have always stubbornly believed that pirates are a symbol of freedom, and they must keep their identity as pirates no matter what.

This made Galen feel very headache.

He can beat that kid who wants to be the king of the pirates into one piece casually, but he can't defeat a pirate group as big as the Whitebeard Pirates with three punches and two kicks.

Therefore, with the idea of trying not to tear his face and cause a conflict of force, Galen can only come up with a compromise:

"You don't need to be a hero."

"As long as you recognize the status of the members of the Alliance, abide by the laws of the Alliance, and insist on not engaging in criminal activities as before, you can continue to fly the Pirate Flag and call yourself the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Our alliance will not interfere much in the internal affairs of your Whitebeard Pirates."

"According to my vision, in the future, we will set up a special area of Whitebeard Pirates in New World."

"In the areas ruled by the League, the system of Demacian justice is applied; And in the Whitebeard Pirate Special Zone, a pirate management system is implemented. ”

"It's called..."

"One alliance, two systems, peaceful reunification."

This compromise was a solution that Galen came up with based on the actual situation.

Galen longed for a unified kingdom and did not like this kind of state within a state that was born out of political compromise.

Because he wanted to build the ideal unified country, since the establishment of the League of Legends, Galen has not even spared his father-in-law Neptune in the revolutionary cause against the aristocratic class.

After the relocation of Fish-Man Island, King Neptune voluntarily handed over the power of the royal family under the persuasion of Galen, only retaining the honorary title of king and a mansion in Dragon Palace City as a residence, and no longer bothering about the political affairs of Fish-Man Island.

Like other kings who volunteered to cooperate with the Alliance, King Neptune joined the Alliance's Hero Guild after "retiring" and became a glorious member of the British Guild.

Of course, there were also some reluctant kings under the Alliance...

The final result of these diehards and reactionaries who refuse to give up their privileges is naturally to drown in the vast sea of people's war.

Anyway, there are few nobles who are clean under their butts, and even more so these diehards who are greedy for power until death.

A casual check can find countless black materials that are enough to sentence them to death ten times.

Whitebeard is different, though.

Not only is he too strong to deal with, but he also has nothing to crusade against.

Galen thought about it, and finally decided to use the method of one alliance and two systems to unify the new world first, and as for the future...

"You're going to annex us sooner or later, aren't you?"

Titch broke down Galen's ultimate purpose in a word.

He was in a low mood, and seeing that Galen was stunned for a moment when he made another tirade, Tiqi couldn't help but add some blockage to Galen:

"Daddy Whitebeard is getting old, and sooner or later he will die before you."

"When Whitebeard's father is gone, will you still support our next captain to continue to take charge of this so-called Whitebeard Pirate Special Zone?"

Although Titch was clearly adding to the blockage, what he said did make sense:

With the fall of the World Government, the Alliance will surely rise to become a superpower capable of controlling the whole world, and sooner or later the wave of pirates on the sea will become a thing of the past.

In the face of this vast global trend, once the Whitebeard Pirates lose the backbone of Whitebeard, they will definitely fall into chaos.

At that time, Galen only needs to intervene to make an obstacle, and he can casually make the Whitebeard Pirates no longer have a next captain.

However, Galen's specific thoughts were not as insidious and crude as Titch had guessed:

"Brother Tichy, you're not asking this question very well..."

Galen completely ignored Titch's accusations, and just said seriously:

"As I said before, the Alliance will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Whitebeard Pirates."

"You ask me if I support it, and I definitely support it."

"If you elect the next captain after Whitebeard's predecessor dies, then he is the captain of your Whitebeard Pirates, how can we not support it?"

"But..."

Galen no longer concealed his final purpose, but asked directly:

"If many, many years later, Whitebeard's predecessors are gone, and your old brothers are gone, then the Whitebeard Pirates are still the original Whitebeard Pirates?"

"When the time comes, do you need to put that skull flag down again?"

“......”

Ace was silent for a while, and Titch couldn't stop Galen.

"yes..."

Ace sighed lightly, and he also understood the weapon that Galen really used to deal with their Whitebeard Pirates:

Time.

Galen doesn't need to rush to completely annex the Whitebeard Pirates, time will naturally bring him the final victory.

Whitebeard himself is over seventy years old, and most of the main captains in the regiment are around forty or fifty years old.

Galen is only in his early twenties this year, and he is enough to survive until the vicissitudes of the sea turn into a mulberry field, watching the main forces of the Whitebeard Pirates pass away one by one.

And for Ace and the others, the Whitebeard Pirates are actually not a pirate group, but an irreplaceable home.

The family is gone, and this family is only an empty shell, and there is no need to exist anymore.

Not to mention, without the old pirates who have a strong heart to hang the skull flag, where will the remaining young people like to wear a pirate hat and hang around?

"I see."

Ace nodded, finally agreeing with Galen's idea of peaceful evolution:

"I'll let Daddy Whitebeard think about it."
