I am a Celestial Dragon!

As for Gawain, he looked at the sea kings that were several thousand meters tall pouring out of the sea around Gaya Island.

Akainu looked towards the Black Bird with emotion.

As early as more than three months ago, he heard through rumors among the naval officers that Gao Wensheng might be in control of ancient weapons!

Flying Squirrel seems to have happened upon the moment when the ancient weapon awakened on Nine Snakes Island.

And now these Neptune species….

Akainu's eyes flashed.

These can basically prove that Gao Wensheng has really mastered the ancient weapon Poseidon!

Then, his navy side and Gao Wensheng's side, combining the strength of both sides, actually have the strength to destroy all pirates at the same time!

For a moment, Akainu couldn't help but calculate.

Who is in the navy? The two older generations, Sengoku and Garp, still have fighting power. As for Teacher Zefa, he has severe asthma. Many years ago, a pirate cut off one of his hands due to an asthma attack.

Forget it, forget Teacher Zefa, then our side has Garp, Sengoku, Kuzan, Polusalino, as well as himself and Kaji, and if we add Rayleigh, Yixiao and Gion on Gawain's side.

Even if the two are added together, they already have the ability to defeat the Four Pirate Emperors!

Even though Gion and Kake are still a little green, if they work together, at least it won't be a problem to defeat Big Mom!

If Akainu knew everything that would happen in the next few years, he would definitely murmur in his heart that Gion and Kake are no worse than Law and Kid...

In addition, Saint Gao Wen still has the ancient weapon Poseidon in hand! ! !

For a moment, Akainu looked at Gawain with more and more anticipation.

In his heart, Gawain has become extremely important, the weight that determines the balance of Dahai's strength!

At this moment, Akainu actually didn’t think it was a problem for Gawain to recruit pirates!

He even thought Gawain had done a good job!

Because he suddenly thought that if Gao Wensheng hadn't unified and recruited these strong men in the Black Bird Group.

Once the situation gets worse day by day, almost all the teammates in the Black Bird Group will become enemies without the Black Bird Group!

Look, this is Akainu, even though he is the one who has met Gawain the least often and for the shortest time among the three generals.

But he is also the first person who sincerely regards the Black Birds as teammates, and even regards Gawain as his superior leader!

You should know that although Aokiji and Porusalino will also obey Gawain's request, they still keep a distance from the Black Bird Group for the time being.

Because in their hearts, they are more than just the Navy.

At the same time, in their hearts, the navy is not everything to them, but a platform for them to realize their dreams and their own values.

If the government's requirements completely break their bottom line, and if the Navy really makes them extremely dissatisfied, then they may really abandon their identity as the Navy!

But for Akainu, he is just a marine, and he can only be a marine for the rest of his life, so the rules and responsibilities of the navy are everything to him!

The navy's responsibility is to fight against pirates, so he devotes his life to this!

The navy's rule is to be loyal to the Tianlongs and the Five Old Stars, so he will always be loyal!

If Akainu feels extremely dissatisfied, he will scold all the dissatisfactions and continue to carry out the orders seriously!

Iron-blooded soldiers are nothing more than that.

…

On the side, Gawain certainly couldn't imagine what Akainu was thinking. After he led everyone to the forest, he found a piece of grass that looked pleasing to the eye, and sat leisurely on the grass leaning against the tree, assuming a resting posture.

Seeing Gawain's appearance, the members of the Black Bird Group laughed, this was so familiar!

So, Gion and Hancock occupied both sides of Gawain's tree on the spot.

At the same time, Lei Li and Xia Qi sat on the same wooden post, their bodies slumped carelessly, relaxing as much as they wanted.

Jinbei and Daxiong sat cross-legged on the ground beside them. After a while, Jinbei glanced at the surrounding forest and said.

"There's no point in just sitting around, sir. I'm going to hunt two wild beasts and roast them to eat!"

After the words fell, Jinbei stood up excitedly,

On the side, Gawain pursed his lips and smiled after hearing this. He couldn't help but pointed at Jinbei.

"You are truly a professional animal eater. You fish on the boat, hunt in the forest, and eat wherever you go."

"Haha, the things I hit are more delicious, then I'll go, sir!"

Jinbei laughed and waved to Gawain, then immediately walked towards the north.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jinbei took a step forward, Shiliu, who was holding a cigar not far away, pointed to the southwest.

"There is an 80-meter-long Rushan pig over there. It looks delicious. Brother Jinbei, do you need help?"

"No need, I am a professional old hunter!

Since Brother Xiliu wants to eat suckling pig, just wait a moment! "

After the words fell, Jinbei smiled and changed direction, trotting out towards the position of Shiliu's finger.

As for their brother names, Jinbei is forty-one this year and Hiryu is thirty-nine. Jinbe is indeed two years older than Hiryu.

Speaking of which, let’s talk about the ages of everyone in the Black Bird Group, forget about Gion, that’s a secret.

But among the men in the Black Bird Group, Lei Li is the well-deserved elder, currently seventy-three years old!

Under Lei Li, the oldest one is naturally Yixiao, who is forty-nine years old this year.

Except for a smile, Big Bear is one year older than Jinbei, and is forty-two this year.

Jinping forty-one, Xiliu thirty-nine.

Further down, they are all real young people.

Rob Lucci is currently only twenty-five years old, one year younger than Gawain, and he really has great potential that can be tapped in the future.

Carly's law is twenty-two.

As for Kaku, that guy with the long nose is only twenty years old this year!

Of course, their potential is still slightly lower than that of Hancock. Hancock is just twenty-six this year, only one year older than Lu Qi, but his strength is far beyond that.

This also has a lot to do with Lu Qi's delay of several years.

But having said that, I have to mention one point.

Hancock and Gawain are the same age.

Closer to home

When Jinbei embarked on a hunting trip excitedly, Akainu was a little confused.

Because even Lu Qi and Kalifa sat down, he was the only one left standing!

Seeing everyone's lazy and leisurely look, Akainu couldn't help but clenched his fists.

I saw him suddenly speaking to Gawain.

"Gao Wensheng, are you a little too indulgent towards me and others? Why can't I show any signs of caution?

The red-haired pirates are nearby. Even if you, Lord Gawain, are determined to spare their lives temporarily, we should be prepared for a sneak attack at any time!

After all, they are pirates! "

After the words fell, Akainu crossed his arms in dissatisfaction, and the iron-blooded wind immediately surrounded him.

On the side, after listening to Akainu's words, Gawain took a deep breath.

He really admired Akainu. This guy could definitely become a qualified remonstrator!

Coupled with the pure minister Yixiao...

If you are thinking about the guy Aramaki who looks like a lonely minister at first glance.

Now think about it, the navy after the war fell directly into the hands of such a group of critics. This is obviously the rhythm of the navy's great prosperity, right?

As for Porusalino?

Oh, let’s not mention him. He is probably Xiu Huang Lao, quite inactive...

Anyway, Gawain chuckled and waved his hand.

“Sakaski, for us, respecting others and ourselves is far more important than following the rules.

Just like everyone respects you and no one requires you to sit down, you can also maintain the posture you like.

In addition, don't you think, making Shanks feel that we don't care about them at all is also an invisible deterrent. "

After speaking, Gawain took out the wine bottle from his waist and took a long sip.

The longer we travel on the sea, the more we feel inseparable from food and wine.

On the side, after hearing Gawain's words, Akainu immediately wanted to say something else.

But before he opened his mouth, Shanks and his group were already following him.

Seeing this, Akainu shut his mouth. He would not do anything to destroy his side's morale in front of the enemy.

At the same time, after carefully observing the form, Akainu felt that he had indeed destroyed some invisible aura of Gawain-dan, not paying attention to the red-haired group at all.

So he exhaled heavily, and then quietly found a tree stump to sit down.

He even crossed his legs, with the toe of the top leg pointed straight down.

Just like that, when Shanks and his party arrived in front of Gawain and his party, their laughter immediately stopped.

The other side... is he actually so relaxed?

Ben Beckman's pupils shrank in dissatisfaction, and then he said with a chuckle.

"No wonder Mr. Lei Li looks younger again. This atmosphere is really good. He can almost compare with us, haha!"

After the words fell, Ben Beckman found a comfortable place to sit on the grass.

Seeing this, the red-haired group followed suit, and in a blink of an eye they looked similar to Gawain's group.

Although the two parties seemed lazy, they always maintained a confrontation.

But until then, Gawain moved.

While he drank a large gulp of wine, he took out an ivory wine jar from behind his waist and threw it towards Shanks.

Taking the wine can without hesitation, Shanks took a swig, took a long breath, and smiled.

"I miss the wine from the Seven Waters City very much, but the taste is really not as good as the wine from the New World!"

As he finished speaking, Shanks took off a black gourd from his waist and threw the gourd towards Gawain.

Gawain reached out and grabbed the gourd, then pulled out the cork.

Take a breath of alcohol, it's very strong!

After drinking a whole bottle of wine, my throat seemed to be filled with sparks, which was particularly exciting!

After putting down the wine gourd, Gawain nodded with satisfaction.

“I didn’t taste the island, but I tasted the determination of the new world!”

After the words fell, Gawain held the leash around the mouth of the pot and said with a smile.

"This wine gourd is good, I'll keep it."

"Your wine jar is not bad, give it to me."

After Shanks responded, he put Gawain's ivory wine jar back into his arms, and then he whispered to Gawain.

"After what happened just now, we can barely get to know each other without fighting. So, how about we let our companions get acquainted with each other again and you and I chat alone for a while!"

"They really should be familiar with each other. There will always be times when we interact with each other in the future. This is exactly what I want."

Gawain nodded first, then looked around.

"But Jinbei is hunting pigs. When he comes back, we will end our chat.

After all, the suckling pig is more delicious when roasted by hand. "

After finishing his words, Gawain stood up and hung the wine gourd on the back of his waist.

The moment Gawain stood up, Akainu almost twisted his ankle. He suppressed his surprise and frowned at Rayleigh and the others.

Why don’t you open your mouth to persuade me?

However, seeing that Rayleigh and the others didn't say anything at all, Akainu didn't want to ruin Gawain's momentum, so he could only keep his posture of a big sword and worry.

Under his attention, Gawain and Shanks drifted away from each other until they finally disappeared.

As soon as they left, to be honest, everyone here except Akainu felt a lot more relaxed.

Ben Beckman, who was not far away, even said hello to Reilly.

"Mr. Lei Li, haha, it seems that our two captains get along quite well!"

"Can they get along? Sometimes the two of them seem to be cut from the same mold.

But unfortunately, in the eyes of an old guy like me, the older of the two of them looks younger than the younger one! "

Reilly said with deep meaning.

On the side, after hearing Rayleigh's words, Gawain and his party suddenly smiled with satisfaction. This is what the vice-captain of the Black Bird should look like!

You know, the vice-captain has a very special position in the world of One Piece.

This can be seen from the battle between Roger and Whitebeard.

Before they started fighting, it was Marco who gave the order to attack on Whitebeard's side, and it was Rayleigh who called out the attack on Roger's side!

The captain is more of a spiritual leader on a ship, equivalent to the status of a nuclear bomb. If he doesn't meet a strong person of the same level, that is, if Roger meets Whitebeard.

Whether it is looting or killing enemies, the person who issues the order is usually the deputy captain. That is, the captain decides the direction and the deputy captain leads the execution.

Rayleigh himself knew very well that he had been invisibly given preferential treatment by Gawain like a deputy captain.

Rayleigh really knew this, even though he didn't see anything on the surface, when he encountered any enemy or opponent.

Then he was just like Ben Beckman at this moment, not allowing his side to fall into a disadvantage at all.

At the same time, after hearing Reilly's words, the red-haired group, Beckman leisurely took out a cigarette.

After lighting the cigarette, Beckman took a puff and laughed.

"A few years ago, when Shanks and I were not yet thirty, we really felt that we were still young.

Now, we are all in our thirties. At this time, we are looking forward to someone praising us for being young!

So, haha, on behalf of Shanks, I would like to thank you for your compliments. Youth is the future, right? "

"Yes, the future may be yours, but now it is always in the hands of more mature people.

Little Beckman, and little Chilu and little Jesus.

When you see Shanks again, please tell him something for me: Don’t live your life like Roger just because you have lived on Roger’s boat since you were a child! "

Having said this, Reilly smiled and took the wine that Xia Qi handed him and took a full sip.

Later, Reilly continued to add and emphasize to Beckman.

"Because only when a person no longer wants to be someone, this person is truly mature!"

"Ha ha!"

As soon as Reilly finished speaking, Beckman across from him laughed very simply. While laughing, Beckman shook his head leisurely.

“Old man, you may be right, or you may not be right.

After all, in my opinion, all the turbulence in this sea is caused by a group of innocent people!

After all, if you are not naive, who would dream about it for decades?

Maturity means starting to look at the pros and cons, but the pros and cons are beneath the waves.

As for the waves rising on the sea, if they are all calculating how badly they will fall next, who will be determined to be the highest wave? "

After the words fell, Beckman slowly took a puff of cigarette.

Opposite him, looking at Beckman smoking, a flash of light flashed on Riley's glasses.

He responded with a smile.

“Yes, there are always people who want to be a wave, set off wave after wave, and be the most dazzling wave in the world.

But mature people, they are the deep sea... "

Having said this, Rayleigh slowly stood up.

"Although I watched Shanks grow up in the past, I haven't seen Shanks really grow up now.

Although I no longer know what kind of dream he has now, but for a person who directly bets one arm on the so-called future, I can only praise him as a romantic!

And you, young men led by romanticism, do you know that the waves you set off are always causing harm to the sea below you!

As for me or Gawain, what we want is not one storm after another!

We want to completely calm this deep sea! "

The moment he finished speaking, Rayleigh pulled out his sword and raised the blade towards the sky.

"Everyone, until Jinbe comes back from hunting, let's get acquainted with this group of young people, but don't continue to harm the island!"

At the same time, on the opposite side, Beckman spit out his cigarette butt on the ground.

"Mr. Lei Li's mouth is really sharp, he is worthy of being a legendary generation!

Everyone, learn from your predecessors and get familiar with each other, but don’t harm this island! ! ! "

After the two of them finished speaking, everyone present except Akainu stood up with great excitement!

The two sides immediately became tense, and then fought fiercely!
