General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 567 Red Hair and Dragon

Several days have passed since Lu Luo Xia's public trial, but there are still more than a dozen ships anchored on the sea outside Judiciary Island, choosing to wait here for the World Government's final judgment on Luo Xia.

"Weiwei, it's time to eat."

On the Carrera Company's large cargo ship, Bell shouted to Weiwei, who was standing on the side of the ship and looking in the direction of Judiciary Island in a daze.

Weiwei stared at the huge city gate standing on the island for a long time, then took a long breath, pursed her lips, turned around, and walked towards the cabin.

"coming."

Somewhere thousands of meters away from Judiciary Island, on the seemingly deserted sea, a layer of flowing wind drove the sea water to slowly fluctuate, swirling the air currents, forming a barrier that distorted the air.

Within the barrier, two men who were considered to be at the top of the world met for the first time.

Shanks looked at Dorag, who had condensed his figure out of thin air, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that I would be here, meeting the famous leader of the Revolutionary Army. Dorag, are you also here for the navy boy named Rorschach?"

After hearing this, Dolag slowly shook his head, stood on the air barrier formed by the air flow, and looked at Shanks, "No, I'm here for you."

"Oh? Are you here to find me?"

Shanks was a little surprised.

However, he did not panic at all. Instead, he smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed at the simple wooden boat he was on, "In that case, if you don't mind, let's get on the boat and talk about it."

As he spoke, he took out two bottles of wine from under his feet and handed one of them to Dolag who stepped onto the wooden boat.

Dorag took the wine he handed over and sat on the wooden board opposite Shanks.

Shanks uncorked the wine bottle in his hand, smiled and gestured to Dorag, raised his hand and took a sip of wine into his mouth, looked in the direction of Judiciary Island, and said with a smile:

"I thought you were just like me, out of curiosity about this navy boy, so you came here to have a look."

"It's not because of this."

Dorag did not deny it.

He did come over to take a look because he learned from the revolutionary army's intelligence that Rorschach was going to be publicly tried, and he happened to be on an island not far from Judiciary Island.

Then, Dorag discovered Shanks, so he showed up specially to see him.

Hearing that Dolag did not deny it, Shanks' eyes moved slightly and he said in surprise: "Oh? Is Mr. Dolag also interested in this navy boy named Rorschach? I don't know how interested you are in this young man who emerged from the navy. How much do you know about Xinxing? Think about it, if it’s information from the Revolutionary Army, you must know more about him, right? Can you tell me about it?”

"What we know is almost the same as what you know. There are traces of Rorschach's life experience and past experiences. This information has been checked out by the reporters a long time ago. If you want to understand him, you only need to read Newspapers will do.”

The expression on Dorag's face remained unchanged, and his tone of voice was calm and low, making it impossible to tell what he was really thinking.

"That's true." Shanks laughed dumbly, took another sip of wine, then became serious, looked at Dorag and said, "Then, why did Mr. Dolag come here to see me?"

Dorag looked at him quietly, and it took a long time before he uttered two words from his mouth.

"Luffy."

The smile on Shanks' face gradually faded.

"Redhead, you should know that for parents, children are their greatest weakness. You should have known for a long time that Luffy is my son, right?"

Dorag's voice sounded a bit deep, and even Shanks could feel a strong sense of oppression in his voice.

Shanks was silent for a while and nodded slowly, "Yes, when I saw Luffy in Windmill Village and heard him say that he was Monkey D Luffy, I knew that his grandfather was the naval hero Garp , his father is Dolag, the leader of the revolutionary army.”

"So," Drago paused as he picked up the bottle of wine in his hand, "are you going to put your idea on Luffy's head and want him to follow Roger's path?"

Shanks was silent again.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, but Luffy is really suitable."

Speaking of Luffy, Shanks' smile returned to his face.

"Do you know? When I was in Windmill Village, the first time I saw Luffy, I knew that he was a born king, the one Captain Roger was waiting for. Although he was young at the time, he already had an outsider who could not help him. A strong spirit of adventure and resistance. If I am Captain Roger's chosen successor, then Luffy is my chosen successor. I believe that he will be able to accomplish what Captain Roger has not been able to accomplish. Path to become the real Pirate King!"

Dorag listened silently, still sitting on the wooden board opposite Shanks, but a strong wind was gradually blowing on the sea dozens of miles around.

The sudden strong wind stirred up waves, driving the clouds thousands of meters high in the sky towards the sea around Judiciary Island.

After a while, thick dark clouds enveloped the surrounding sea area, a sign of an imminent storm.

Shanks sighed inwardly when he saw this, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He could understand Dorag's anger at the moment. If it were him, from the perspective of Luffy's father, he wouldn't have a good look on a person who leads his child to become a pirate.

Although Luffy has not yet gone to sea, as the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Drago has a huge intelligence network of the Revolutionary Army. It is impossible not to know that Luffy's dream is to become the Pirate King.

And Luffy's dream can be said to have been created by himself.

If he hadn't gone to Windmill Village a few years ago, Luffy might have joined the navy under the leadership of his grandfather Garp.

With his powerful talent, he might be able to compete with that Rorschach for the position of leader of the new generation in the Navy Headquarters.

But because of his intervention, Luffy's future changed.

No, or rather, this is how Luffy's future should have been.

Because of this, he will become the person Captain Roger has been waiting for.

Thinking of this, Shanks' apologetic mood became firmer.

Just when he was about to tell Drago about his high hopes for Luffy, he heard Drago say: "You know how dangerous the path Roger took is."

Shanks was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "I know, but I believe in Luffy. Like Captain Roger, he will be able to find a group of like-minded and strong partners to realize his dream. When necessary, I will help him."

Dorag shook the wine in the bottle, his eyes calm, "Are you so sure that Luffy can accomplish that goal? After all, that fruit... has not awakened for eight hundred years."

Shanks was shocked, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

"Yeah, eight hundred years."

Then he changed the topic, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "However, I believe that Captain Roger's expectations will not be wrong. The turning point of destiny is in this era. And Luffy will definitely be the helmsman of this era. I know that this is a big gamble, and it is also a big gamble that cannot fail. So, Mr. Dorag, if you still have problems with me, I..."

Before Shanks could finish his words, he heard Dorag suddenly say:

"What do you think of Rorschach?"

"what?"

Shanks had not yet recovered from the anger hidden in Dolag's previous tone, and did not respond for a moment.

Shanks followed his gaze and looked at the Judiciary Island. He pondered for a moment and said: "A very powerful navy boy. However, his views are a bit too extreme. Not to mention completely denying the Shichibukai system, just looking at it On the issue of pirates, in my opinion, it’s a bit unfair.”

"He only saw the pirates raging on the sea, but he didn't see clearly why there were so many pirates. If they could live and live like a human being, how many people would really want to go to sea and become pirates? "

"Not to mention the brutal fighting on the sea, the harsh sea weather and the countless giant sea kings hidden under the sea can easily destroy countless ships."

Shanks sighed and shook his head.

"As long as this world is not properly changed from its roots, pirates will never disappear. The courage, talent, and belief of that navy boy are all first-rate, but he has not yet seen the nature of this world clearly. . Now he only wants to kill all the pirates in the world. How similar is he to Akainu? "

"Have you not seen the true nature of this world clearly?"

Dorag glanced at Shanks out of the corner of his eye, but in his heart he remembered the candlelit night conversation he had with Rorschach in Beihai.

That young man analyzed the world clearly at that time. Even he, the leader of the revolutionary army, was deeply shocked and gained a lot after hearing this.

Seeing that Dorag didn't answer, Shanks thought for a while and suddenly realized why Dorag suddenly asked him how Rorschach was.

Is he worried that when Luffy goes to sea to become a pirate in the future, he will meet this young navy boy who is not weaker than Luffy in every aspect and is extremely strong?

So, is Drago acquiescing to lead Luffy on the pirate path?

But now, this navy boy named Rorschach seems to be unable to protect himself, and is about to be sentenced by the World Government for killing Doflamingo.

If he was imprisoned in Impel Down for a few years, maybe by the time he came out, Luffy would have realized his dream and become the Pirate King.

Just as they were thinking this, suddenly, Shanks and Drago's eyes moved slightly at almost the same time, and they both looked in the direction of Judiciary Island.

Then, Shanks frowned.

"One year? This sentence is a bit beyond my expectation. It seems that the World Government still doesn't want to throw away this outstanding naval talent, and chose to give him a slight punishment. I originally thought he would be sentenced to ten Eight years old. After all, as a navy, killing a former Celestial Dragon is a serious crime."

After Shanks finished speaking, he turned to look at Dorag's position, but there was no one on the wooden board there, leaving only an empty wine bottle.

Shanks seemed to have known this for a long time, and there was no surprise on his face.

He stood up, stepped on the small wooden boat under him into the sea, jumped, covered a thousand meters distance in an instant, and landed firmly on the coffin boat of Hawkeye who had left Judiciary Island, ignoring Hawkeye's words. With disgusted eyes, he looked back at Judiciary Island again.

"One year? It seems that Luffy has to set sail earlier. Otherwise, it will be really troublesome if he really encounters this powerful navy boy."
