Chapter 223: The Navy's Overlord Color
"Alaala, it's you again, how did you earn the bounty?"
At this time, Xia Qi in the bar seemed to be familiar with Mihawk and smiled naturally.
"Well, just came from the Navy station."
Mihawk silently walked over to Smoker and sat down, then ordered a glass of rum, "You're getting stronger again." ”
"yes."
Smoker, who has awakened, is finally qualified to respond to this sentence head-on, although his strength may still be some different from Hawkeye at this time, but he is no longer powerless.
"But why did you come to this bar?"
"Rayleigh, the Immortal King, is indeed here, as you said." Mihawk took a sip of rum and continued, "I saw him, but he didn't want to compete with me. ”
"He doesn't want to?" Smoker raised his eyebrows, pouted and replied: "Then you cut him directly, he will not fight with you when you see it." ”
This conversation made Xia Qi's face stiffen slightly, what did she just hear? Was it Smoker who told Mihawk that Reilly was here? How did he know!
As an intelligence dealer, Xia Qi is very sensitive to this aspect.
"Reilly is a true swordsman and should be treated with the proper respect." Mihawk shook his head and replied.
"Okay, okay, I don't know the rules of you swordsmen,"
Smoker waved his hand helplessly, but he was a little curious, "Now that you've seen him, what do you think of him?" ”
"Very strong!"
"How strong, far better than you?"
"I don't know."
Mihawk recalled the aura on Reilly's body, and his tone became cautious, "But it shouldn't be far beyond me, but it's definitely strong!" ”
"Well, actually, I'm here to find Hades Reilly this time."
Swallowing the cool liquor in his mouth, Smoker was really looking forward to meeting Reilly.
"Catch him?"
Mihawk asked suspiciously, thinking to himself, this guy shouldn't be so stupid, right?
If he really came to find Reilly, then he was ready to persuade a few words, and even rescued Smoker, after all, he still owed him a favor, and then he was ready to ignore him anymore, he didn't want to associate with stupid people.
At the same time, Xia Qi also looked at Smoker with a smile, quietly waiting for his answer.
"How is that possible!"
Smoker almost shook off the wine glass in his hand, Hawkeye was funny: "Don't make such dangerous jokes, I just want to meet this legendary man, of course it would be better if we could talk about something." ”
If Mihawk's words were accidentally heard by the Hades and taken it seriously, then he would not want to leave today!
"Oh, I don't know what do you want to talk to the old man about the dignified Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters?"
At this time, on the sofa in the tavern, a blonde man wearing slippers suddenly appeared, and his opening directly startled Smoker, and the little Rada on the table noticed Smoker's nervousness, and also looked at it with a wary face.
As for Hawkeye, he was not surprised at all, just silently drinking rum.
"Immortal Reilly!"
No need to ask, you don't even need to look with your eyes, seeing and hearing the domineering can clearly make him feel the momentum faintly emanating from this man, this kind of aura that is not inferior to the general of the headquarters at all, who else can there be except the Hades himself?
"When did you come in?"
Smoker looked at Reilly in shock, really, he really didn't notice when the other party entered the house, let alone the other party was already sitting on the couch.
"Okay, okay, don't be so nervous."
Reilly smiled kindly and sat down beside Smoker, "I just came in, too, and I just heard that you didn't come to arrest me, but wanted to talk to me here." ”
Reilly stood up kindly, then sat down at the bar to the right of Smoker, "What do you want to talk about?" ”
"Let's talk about the meaning of the era of pirates and the meaning of pirates."
Smoker slowly shook the wine glass in his hand and looked at the golden wine swirling back and forth inside, "You are the co-captain of the original One Piece Roger's ship, I believe this topic is very appropriate." ”
"The meaning of the age of the pirates......
Reilly fell silent, not only him, but even Xia Qi was speechless for a while, just looked at Smoker lightly, as if he was remembering something in his eyes, as for Hawkeye, he didn't care, still drinking his wine, and from time to time he would pick up the beef on the plate.
"Why are you interested in this?"
"Because I personally feel that you pirates and Draconians are cancers of this world!" Smoker was shocked, it was impossible for the few people present to say this, and even if they did, so what? Who believes!
Even Immortal Reilly and Hawkeye Mihawk were shocked by these words, what did they just hear? A young new vice admiral with a bright future actually said that the Tianlong people are a cancer in the world......
"So the so-called era of pirates is harmful to this world!"
Hades Reilly was not angry, and slowly recalled Roger's face, "Before the era of the sea pirates, this world was like a stagnant water, and it was Roger who threw a stone to make this stagnant water splash again, and one day this wave will get bigger and bigger, pushing away the obstacles blocking the way to the sea!" ”
"Have you ever thought about how many innocent shrimp and fish have died under the stones you have thrown?" Smoker asked rhetorically, "Have you asked them for their opinions?" ”
"People always yearn for freedom, and the times also need to move forward."
"Of course, people yearn for freedom, and the times should move forward, but!"
Smoker looked at Reilly firmly and said, "But you don't have to be a pirate to be free, and the era shouldn't be the era of pirates!" You were right to want to overturn the barrier, but you chose the wrong way! ”
"Why?" Reilly asked expressionlessly, "If more people are not rushed into the sea, how can the waves of the times be stirred!" ”
"Because pirates are disorderly, because pirates are a group that doesn't exist in essence to overturn obstacles!"
Smoker slammed down his empty draught glass.
"The Four Emperors of the New World are the greatest proof! They proved that true pirates, even if they are at the top, will not make any effort to overturn the obstacles! ”
“......”
Reilly fell silent, unable to refute this, and Smoker continued, "Have you ever heard of the Revolutionary Army? ”
"Revolutionary Army?"
Reilly has been in Chambord for more than ten years, and he no longer worries about these except for the occasional newspaper, so he habitually looks at Xia Qi, but Xia Qi actually shakes his head and says he doesn't know.
"Don't you know, too, even if you're an intelligence monger, it's really unlikely that you will know about this kind of thing." Smoker smiled, then took a moment to introduce the basics of the Revolutionary Army, such as their purpose.
"There is such an organization!"
Reilly was extremely surprised, he didn't expect that someone would have the courage to challenge the world government head-on.
"yes."
Smoker looked at Reilly silently, "Personally, I think their actions are beneficial to overthrowing the obstacles, at least compared to their so-called pirates, they have a clear goal. ”
At this time, he suddenly changed the subject, "Did you Roger Pirates plunder civilians during their voyage?" ”
"No, we are just pirates in pursuit of freedom and adventure, and if there is anything needed, the competitors on the sea will naturally provide it to us." Reilly smiled.
Smoker nodded, and the secret path was indeed the same as the Straw Hats in his previous life, and then said, "Then you shouldn't call yourself pirates!" ”
"What's that called?"
Xia Qi, who had been silent, spoke.
"You pursue freedom and adventure, and you don't rob civilians, but deal with pirates from time to time, you should be called an adventure group, you are adventurers and not pirates."
Smoker said with a serious expression: "You are fundamentally different from pirates! ”
"Adventurer's ....."
Mihawk muttered a repeat, then nodded in agreement, his own situation was the same as Smoker had just said, and to be honest, he didn't care to be called a pirate.
"It's just a name, what's the difference?" Reilly said lightly, but he kept studying the word adventurer in his heart, and the more he pondered it, the more he felt that it made sense.
"Of course there is a difference!"
Smoker immediately answered: "If you start the era of great adventures, then not so many people take burning, killing and looting for granted, after all, in the popular mind, isn't this what pirates do?" ”
"But if you had introduced the world to the world the way of sailing, which was to take risks and not burn, how many people in this world would have survived? And it doesn't conflict with your voyage and your purpose of making the times wave, right? ”
At this time, Reilly asked rhetorically, "But this doesn't seem to make the pirates disappear, and what if someone burns and loots in the name of an adventurer?" ”
"At that time, the people wanted by our navy will be real pirates, and the number of pirates will definitely be greatly reduced!"
This is what Smoker dislikes the most, and now because of the beginning of the era of pirates, everyone equates adventure with pirates, as if you have to fly the skull flag when you sail to sea!
"You're right."
Reilly was eventually persuaded to be an adventurer, but he insisted that the era that Roger had started made sense, and that it would never be shaken by Smoker's words!
"So I'm going to put an end to this era of pirates with my own hands, there can be adventurers in this world, people can sail freely, but pirates will never be allowed to do evil!"
"The next era.... It will be the era of the Great Navy under the leadership of our Smoker!! ”
At this time, as his mood stirred, an invisible momentum erupted from Smoker's body again, and this time because there was no reason to suppress himself, the momentum swept away like a wave.
Click, click, click
The draft beer cups and white plates in front of them were instantly shaken into dense cracks.
"This is...."
The pupils of Reilly, Hawkeye, and Xia Qi shrank, and they looked at Smoker who was a little excited in shock, especially this Reilly, who finally determined the truth of the fluctuation he felt in the amusement park before.
"The overlord color of the navy .... Stories through the ages! ”
