"Die or leave Advance City and come with me to get the Devil Fruit of your dreams, there is no third way to go!" Asa's voice was flat, but it was cold to the bone.

Red's age is too old, and aging may not make his strength drop too much, but people are just human beings after all, and once they get old, their physical energy will definitely decrease.

Two people fight, the two sides are evenly matched, but one side can hold out for ten days and ten nights, while the other side can only hold out for five days...... That's the gap.

So, Asa has given Red so many years to think, and his patience has come to an end, and he will not continue to give him any room for negotiation.

Such a powerful figure, if he did not die in a vigorous battle, but died in obscurity and old age in the advancing city, that is the greatest insult to the strong.

Asa would never allow this to happen, this is the glory of the strong, and every legend deserves the most luxurious funeral!

Just like Roger, after his death, he stirred up an era, made everyone around the world remember it, and watched him pass on his will with his own eyes.

The golden lion and the whitebeard are no exception, and one day in the future, Asa will plan a funeral that will attract the attention of the world, burying the legends of the old times in the most striking way.

Once Red refuses, Asa will not let him die silently in the advancing city no matter what, he will not show mercy, he will release Red, and then, with a bang, send him on the road with his own hands.

......

Red didn't speak for a long time, his eyes flowing with nostalgia for life and jealousy that Asa was so young and so vigorous.

He didn't want to die with an old face, so he would do everything possible to find the coveted Devil Fruit, and Asa's words hit him straight to the point.

"It's really domineering and arrogant, very similar to the annoying golden lion and whitebeard......

He stared at Asa's condescending demeanor in a daze, as if he was remembering the time when he once crossed the sea.

The unscrupulous overlords on the sea actually have similarities in some points, the same domineering, the same ignorance of advance and retreat, fearlessness, and the same empty-eyedness.

I will not shrink from facing a powerful enemy because I am weak, nor will I stand still because of the dangerous and bumpy road ahead.

Roger directly refused the invitation of the Golden Lion Ship Regiment, which had reached the peak of its strength, in the Battle of Ed Wall, and fought his way out of the siege with outnumbered enemies, and the Red Earl himself faced the thousands of troops of the World Government Army, and wreaked havoc on the Red Continent with one man and one sword.

Even the weak Luffy did not retreat in the face of various enemies, and only said the phrase "run away" when he was defeated by an enemy who could not resist at all when he was in the Chambord Islands, and after saying it, the torment in his heart can be imagined.

Spirited and confident, or arrogant and unruly?

In short, Red was able to see in Asa all sorts of undisguised strengths and weaknesses.

I'm not afraid of exposing my shortcomings, I'm not afraid that I don't care if I have advantages, I don't care about other people's eyes at all, I stand quietly, even if I don't move, it's so eye-catching.

"Devil fruits? The Thor Pirates have got what I've been waiting so hard for! Red muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Isn't it really better to be alone than to have a helper? Fighting the world on my own is short-sighted......"

He was torturing his heart if he could really give up loneliness and loneliness, welcome a new life, and grow up as the vice captain of the Thor Pirates.

"Walking alone has no worries, free and unrestrained, but there are a lot of troubles, and forming a pirate group can let people help you solve some things that you are too lazy to do, and there are disadvantages ......to each other," Asa knew that Red was already biased towards him.

"As for the Devil Fruit, it hasn't arrived, but it's no different from getting it, as long as you get out of prison, you can get it immediately."

"Looks like I don't have a choice?" Red sighed softly, and his voice sounded like he was ten years older.

He can face death calmly, but he does not allow himself to die with an old face, and even if he dies, he must remain noble and elegant.

"Let me out, Asa!"

He didn't call the captain directly, maybe it was the only little pride left in his heart.

Asa didn't care at all about whether Red called him captain or not, and when Red had already made a choice, it would be easy to bottom out if he forced him again.

And, there is a saying: over and over again!

With the beginning the first time, there will definitely be a second time, and a third time, as long as the beginning, it is too difficult to turn back.

Life is like this, either you don't start or you don't look back!

It is impossible to reconnect when the bones are broken, just as broken glass cannot be restored.

The reason why Asa is not worried is because of the word habit, habit, this kind of thing is a terrible force.

Just like Jessica was used to Asa's fallacies and heresies, and after getting used to being free, she could no longer bear the constraints of the navy.

As long as Red starts, he will no longer be a lonely red, and one day he will habitually surrender to Asa, a true surrender.

......

"Whoa!"

The entwined chains fell to the ground, and Red moved for a long time, his body looking a little stiff.

His silver-white hair was messily draped back of his head, and although he only had a prison uniform, he had a kind of nobility on his face.

Even if the king is dressed as a beggar, he is the most dazzling existence.

Red moved his muscles and stood up straight, as straight as a javelin, he was about the height of Asa, and he did not behave like a rude pirate at all, but more like a true nobleman drinking red wine and listening to classical music in the castle.

"Seeing the light of day again, why don't you feel as free as before?" Red asked, looking at Asa with long, evil eyes.

"Maybe it's something on your body." A smile finally appeared on Asa's lips, he had been waiting too long for Red to join.

"Freedom is not freedom if you are responsible, real freedom is spiritual, you think freedom is freedom, and what others say is fart!"

"The words are rough, but they make a lot of sense!"

Red nodded, and calmly pulled out a silk thread from his prison uniform to tie up his messy long silver hair, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

"Join the Thor Pirates, you can't command me to do what you don't want to do, how about it?"

"I won't care what you do except the pirates are provoked." Asa.

In fact, the entire captain of the Thor Ship Regiment was doing his own thing, and apart from expanding the territory, Asa never cared whether they were plundering, killing, or setting fire.

As long as he finishes what he tells him, he can arrange the rest of the time freely.

"Let's go, go find the Devil Fruit I want?" After tidying up his appearance, Red spoke.
