In recent times, the strong men who "came back from the dead" can be said to have become the hottest topic on the sea. What is surprising, however, is that the World Government, or the Navy, has responded mediocrely to this issue, taking ordinary measures.

Therefore, the top elders with brains, including Beckman, all believe that it is Sain, the former head of CP0 logistics, who has mastered the huge secrets about the world government during his lifetime, so the five old stars and the high-level officials of the Navy Headquarters will have great concerns about dealing with him, so they can only choose to deal with him coldly.

However, the situation of "Golden Lion" Shiki is completely different. He is the flying pirate who once forced One Piece Roger to almost fall into a desperate situation, and the first criminal in history to escape from the Great Prison Advance City, and the pirate admiral who tried to rule the world like the sea overlord Locks...... These remarkable achievements, combined with the immediate and upright act of meeting the world's strongest men after his resurrection, would have taken a terrible toll on his prestige and image in the hearts of the world if the world's governments and navies had remained muted, triggering a series of bad chain reactions.

Sure enough, the world government made a strong move this time, and even directly sent two admirals, both of whom were the original team that buried the golden lion back then.

But who would have thought that the "professional team" also turned over this time, and Polusalino and Sakasky not only did not send away the golden lion that came back from the dead, but also almost sent them away......

Shanks had already arrived at the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass of wine, and seemed to be in a good mood when he looked smiling and humming a tune.

Beckman, on the other hand, simulated in his mind the battle of "Polusalino + Sakasky vs Golden Lion" in his mind, but he never thought that the result would be what the intelligence said.

Beckman took a deep puff of his cigar, looked at the intel again, and muttered to himself:

"The Golden Lion has shown a new level of power of the Devil Fruit called Swastika, not only inflicting heavy losses on the two Admirals, but also taking over the rule of the New Golden Lion Pirates from the Black Blade......"

"If that's the case,"

Shanks came over with two glasses of wine, handed one of them to Beckman, and said, "The golden lion will meet us soon." ”

"Why are you so happy?"

Beckman's rare attitude towards Shanks was a bit confusing.

"Why are you guilty of the lake, Beckman, have you forgotten my dealings with the Golden Lion?"

Shanks laughed.

As a trainee crew member of the Roger Pirates, Shanks has dealt with the Golden Lion many times, but it has been quite unpleasant for the most part. But at the same time, he also recognizes the Golden Lion as his most admired rival Captain Roger, and his personality is doubtful.

Ambitious, executive, open-minded, and powerful...... Many times, even Roger himself would say that the Golden Lion was the real pirate overlord, the second Locks.

However, it is such a golden lion, but it withdrew from the stage of history more than ten years ago; Roger, who is also a legendary pirate with him, opened the era of pirates with his life after ascending to the throne of One Piece; Only Whitebeard, who does not have enough weight for his opponent, is left and continues to age.

Shanks was well aware that his captain, Roger, had pinned his hopes on the young people of the future, hoping that they would have the spirit of yearning for freedom and not being subject to the domination of the world government and navy. Gradually discover the truth, clarify the goal, and bring change to this decaying world.

However, if there are not enough great "pioneers", how can the young people of the future grow on the road of catching up with the "pioneers" and surpass their predecessors?

For example, Shanks and their generation, when they were young, their forerunners were the three legendary sea pirates at their peak and the powerhouses of the same level. Therefore, whether they regard these people as idols, or regard these people as targets that must be defeated and surpassed, the young Shanks and others have a broad and broad vision.

Therefore, some of them became the Emperor of the Pirates, became the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, and became big shots.

But now, Shanks has taken over the role of Roger and others back then, and has become the forerunner in the eyes of the young people of the future - and can they bring enough "pioneer effect" to the young people of the future? Shanks, who doesn't feel like he's comparable to Captain Roger, is uncertain and has a pessimistic attitude.

After all, in today's world, the regression of the living conditions of pirates is clear to anyone with a discerning eye. Even the Pirate Emperors, who are currently at the apex of the pirates, have been in a state of being beaten by the navy as "three missing one" for a long time......

This is like in the world before Polusalino traveled, young people's dreams changed from becoming scientists and astronauts to becoming Internet celebrities and anchors - although there is no high or low in terms of career or dream, but in terms of the development and progress brought to the world, the "possibility" and "realm" of young people have undoubtedly declined.

This is also why in the original plot of the Pirates, when Luffy and the others went to sea, so many people felt that his dream of becoming the King of the Pirates was too exaggerated - aside from the possibility of realization, the young people of Luffy's generation, including the pirates who were older than him, at most dared to think about the status of the Seven Martial Seas and the throne of the One Piece Emperor......

One Piece? That was the dream of the Pirate Emperors when they were young more than ten years ago!

That's why at the end of the war, Whitebeard shouts again before he dies, "One Piece is real". He is equivalent to injecting a shot of strength and excitement into young people, so that they can become more ambitious like Shanks and others when they were young, rather than being limited by the forerunners who can see with the times.

Therefore, even if he actually prefers to sail freely with his friends and enjoy banquets more, Shanks is still active as the One Piece Emperor - this can not only guard and witness the era of pirates opened up by Captain Roger, but also cheer up and pressure a promising young man like Luffy.

"The era of the sea pirates, which Captain Roger started with his life, was full of vitality at the beginning...... But it soon declined, and the survival and development of our pirate group gradually fell to the way it is now. ”

If Shanks was a teacher in the school before Polusalino crossed over, I am afraid that he would have to shout at this time: "The target is Qingbei, and you can go to 985; Goal 985, Hope 211; Goal 211, sprint one; One goal, guaranteed undergraduate; Target undergraduate, expected to lead a specialty; The goal is to bring special and move bricks into the factory. ”

"Contrary to our pirates, over the years, there have been more and more radical generals in the navy,"

Shanks continued, "The sailors who witnessed how the pirates were reckless before the age of the pirates, and how powerless the navy was, have gradually begun to become the leadership of the navy after more than a decade. Their attitude has become the mainstream in the navy today, so they continue to oppress our survival line. ”

"Now, relying only on me and Black Knife, the two unworthy pirate emperors, and Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world who is getting old, the living conditions of the pirates have deteriorated, and the decline of the pirate era cannot be saved at all,"

Shanks walked to the window, looked at the ordinary pirates who were still carefree outside, eating, drinking and having fun on Red Island, and shook his head, "Look at these people, how can they be the hope of the new era?" If there are young people who are influenced by them, how can they bring about change in the world? ”

"But fortunately, Minister Sain, the careerist, has come back from the dead, and the golden lion who competed with Captain Roger has come back from the dead, and those strong men who will continue to come out of the Yellow Spring in the future will once again turn the declining era of pirates into an era full of dangers and opportunities......"

Beckman squinted at Shanks, the sunlight shining through the cabin window on him, and when viewed from behind, it seemed like a golden glow had been gilded on him.

Although Shanks never refused to admit it, Beckman, from the very beginning, firmly believed that Shanks was the heir of One Piece Roger - just by this vision and this pattern!

"First Whitebeard, then Blackknife,"

Shanks said this, tilting his head and drinking the wine in the glass, and smiled, "It's going to be me with red hair soon, and there will even be dragons, Marvin, and the emperors of the underworld behind me......"

"Just like the formation of the Flying Fleet that directly challenged the authority of the World Government, the Golden Lion will definitely take the lead in establishing a front that is directly opposed to the current Navy and the World Government...... We need to be ready. ”

"At the very least, we can study the new power of the Devil Fruit shown by Shiki, the amazing flying pirates have helped us find out the path after the Devil Fruit awakens, which can save our generation of capable people a lot of detours......"

......

"Shiki, bastard......"

"Whitebeard" Edward. Newgate, sitting in the captain's room, carrying a huge wine jug, poured a sip of wine, and gently put the latest "World Economic News" on the table, sighing.

Although the world government that suffered a big loss did not want to make a noise, the matter of "Golden Lion" Shiji inflicting heavy damage on two admirals and taking over the rule of the new Golden Lion Pirates was still exposed by the "World Economic News".

Of course, there is the courage of Polusalino to the "big news" Morgans, but more importantly, the exhibition match played by Polusalino and Sakasky deliberately let many viewers see - even if the world government can control the major member countries and major news media, can it control the melon-eating pirates under Fraser?

Therefore, it is only a matter of time before this news spreads around the world - if Morgans does not rub the hot spot in the first place, he will not rub it in vain.

On the cover of the newspaper that Whitebeard put down, there was a headline written in bold font, which looked a little sensational - "The pirate admiral who came back from the dead almost conquered the world back then."

Below the title, there are two special photos, and on the left is an old photo, which is a very coincidental photo of the Golden Lion and the young Fraser when they were still competing with Roger. In the photo, the golden lion is domineering and full of kingly demeanor, while Fraser, who was slapped on the shoulder by him laughing, has a green face and is quite restrained - this photo is provided by Polusalino and has been used by Fraser as evidence of the identity of the new Golden Lion Pirates and his own golden lion heir over the years.

The photo on the right is the latest photo of the Golden Lion and Fraser. Frazier's short black hair was combed into a big back, he was wearing a domineering pirate captain uniform, one hand fell on the hilt of the sword above the oblique finger, and his face was grim, his eyes were square, completely faded from the youthfulness of the year, and some were just the precipitation and momentum of becoming the pirate emperor over the years.

Although Fraser has changed dramatically, the golden lion in this group photo and the golden lion in the photo on the left have basically not changed much, and he still looks domineering, still patting Fraser's shoulder, and his status is obvious.

Below the old and new photos, the time when the photo was taken and the ages of the two are written.

That's why Whitebeard sighed, not only lamenting that his old acquaintance Shi Kee had no age change after he came back from the dead, but also lamenting that Fraser, a later life, was actually middle-aged. And before he knew it, he had aged like this—especially compared to his contemporary, Shiki, who came back from the dead and was still what he was back then.

Whitebeard, who once stood at the top, knew very well that although he still held the name of the strongest man in the world, sooner or later, his name would be taken away by stronger young people.

Thinking back then, the Navy's flash imps, candle-lit imps, and frozen imps, he alone could steadily suppress the joint efforts of the three without any pressure. And now, although he still has that heart, his physical functions will be delayed, and he has to regard them as admirals.

At the same time, Shi Ji, who is the same generation as him, is dead and alive, and he can still show the dominance of the year......

Whitebeard didn't like Shiji at all, and he never felt that Shiki had anything to look up to, in his cognition, the other party was a bastard he had known for many years, and if he fought him, his winning rate was always higher, pressing the other party to fight.

But when he saw the news about the Golden Lion, he still couldn't help but feel a little bad in his heart. Because he knew that Shiki had not only defeated the two admirals, the two imps in his eyes, but also defeated the time that had brought his Whitebeard to aging.

What he was helpless with, the other party was able to overcome......

"Maybe ......"

Whitebeard inexplicably thought of an idea that his son Marco had once rejected by him, and he thought ...... It's time to reconsider.

After all, the old bastard Shiki came back from the dead, showed his dominance back then, and tried to form a community of interests, including the pirates. He, as a father, can't let his sons be bullied by his old opponent in this community of interests because of old age and illness at this time......

If it's for his family, Whitebeard is happy to change some of his own ideas!
