Chapter 216: Fragmented Thread
Kuzan's statement carries considerable weight.
As one of the cutting-edge forces that cannot be ignored in this sea, Kuzan's position is enough to guide the direction of the wind. What's more, such a man is only 48 years old and has not yet reached the peak of his strength. His future is limitless.
"Welcome, but I have to explain in advance that you may die." Yamos said this, but he meant to provoke the general.
"Oh." Kuzan disagreed.
The reason why a strong man is fearless is not because he is strong.On the contrary, it is because you are fearless that you become strong.Kuzan is a representative figure of this kind of strong man, he is not afraid of death.
What's more, in this world, everyone is both afraid of death and not afraid of death.If he could live a contented life without any regrets, then death would be of no concern. Kuzan was unwilling to spend the rest of his life in a muddle. In comparison, being able to practice his own path on the verge of death would be quite worthwhile.
Now, one of the three parties sincerely invited to the table is willing to follow Yamos to do something big.The other two parties still did not express their stance, which was quite normal. Yamos was not in a hurry, nor did he urge them to come to a conclusion.
Whitebeard and red-haired people can be called two forces in another way. They are not like Kuzan alone. They have their own foundation, their own sons, and their own partners. They are all leaders.It is not easy for leaders to make decisions. They also need to consider the overall situation, not whether they are happy or unhappy.
To make such a major decision, from a dogmatic and pessimistic point of view, is to choose between life and death.
No one is stupid. If you say you want to fight the World Government, you can fight it. If you say it has been 800 years, it has never been knocked down. Of course, it is because it has a strong foundation, and it is not an existence that you can just kick down if you want.No one is obligated to follow you to death.
The law binds everyone, and morality only binds oneself.Yamos knew this very well, so although he talked a lot about the current situation of the world and the meaning of life, he did not say that everyone must work hard for a better world.
Do not make jokes.Just take Whitebeard as an example. In their current life trajectory, they are living a very prosperous life.Troubled times are a paradise for the strong. In troubled times, you cannot use your own standards of enlightenment to measure other people's views.They are living well now. From their perspective, if you follow your ideal, you are courting death.
"Hiss" Yamos smoked a cigarette and pulled out one for Dolat and Drake respectively.
Kuzan was drinking the Imbit with great interest.This wine is not that noble, it is something that ordinary people on the streets can afford.Moreover, in the eyes of the nobles, bituminous wine, which could be bought for a thousand berries and was poured into the stomachs of people at the bottom of society to fill their stomachs for fantasy or vulgar entertainment, had no value at all.The aristocrats in the imagination of the lower class people are all damn rich people who like to consider the subtle beauty between the years of wine brewing, and are willing to spend a lot of money for the slightest difference in taste.
But Kuzan just sipped it one bite after another, and didn't rush to swallow it. He just swirled it around in his mouth, feeling the mellow aroma under the sourness and bitterness on his taste buds.
He squinted his eyes with a look of enjoyment, but actually he just didn't like to open his eyes and be caught in the middle of the stiff banquet.As a guy who can easily fall asleep in any situation, Kuzan chose to continue to go his own way.
The five people on the white-bearded and red-haired side have stopped eating. Most of them are playing with the half-filled wine glasses to hide their thoughts.
The atmosphere was really pressed to a point where it was a bit uncomfortable.Yamos didn't know whether the two sides were still thinking, or whether they were silent to express their choice.He couldn't figure this out, so he didn't say anything easily. Instead, he let the smoke cover him while smoking and observed the expressions of the white beard and the red hair.
He could use his own perception ability to sense that the two people were entangled in their hearts, like moths hesitating in the face of a raging fire.
Which one of these all-powerful kings doesn't want to fight again with great arrogance?But now I have more worries, and some things I do are not just my own business.
"I know a friend who can help you regain your youth and let you return to your peak in your 50s and become the undisputed strongest man in the world." Yamos thought of something and said to Whitebeard.
Finding Ai Yin and using her ability to help Whitebeard regain his peak was something he had thought of for a long time, and he also planned to use it as a bargaining chip to attract Whitebeard to join.
Yamos just added something, but Whitebeard seemed to have a lot to say: "You are a man like Roger, but even if Roger became the Pirate King and achieved unique achievements, he still failed to achieve his ultimate goal. Goal, change the world.”
"What is one piece?" Yamos asked.
"Do you want to know?" Whitebeard seemed to have said nonsense.
"I don't think it's important. One Piece doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I want to do. I'm just asking casually." Yamos finished smoking another cigarette, crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and took a long breath. He looked around the round table and said, "Actually, I can't quite guess what you are thinking about right now. Are you not interested in what I'm talking about at all, or are you interested but have some of your own problems that are still bothering you."
Shanks also spoke: "Why can it only be your own problem?"
"Then let's talk about the external problems that trouble you." Yamos said with a smile, "Since you became the Four Emperors, the main thing you have done is not to advance to the highest position of Pirate King, but to maintain the balance of the new world and make the new world always It’s stable. I’m not convinced by your explanation, that you think someone who can really change the world hasn’t emerged yet, that you’re just waiting.”
"Why?" Shanks realized that he had just been tricked by Yamos, but it was nothing. He was more curious about why Yamos rejected his explanation and what he thought.
Yamos adjusted his sitting posture: "It should have something to do with Roger. Of course, it's just a guess. How could I know the gossip on your ship better than you, haha."
Shanks said nothing.
Yamos felt that Shanks' heartbeat had accelerated just now.
"Whitebeard, let me call you dad here." Yamos said with enough sincerity, "I can see that you intend to support Ace to become the Pirate King. It seems that the pirate has worked hard to become the Pirate King all his life. There is no difference between a soldier working his whole life to become a general, but dominating the pirate world, conquering the sea, and being titled the Pirate King, are they really what you are so passionate about? I don’t think so. I know that there are countless pirates on the sea who stayed for Roger. They burned, killed, looted and looted the great secret treasure that they had laid down, but you here are definitely not on the world stage because of this."
"Yeah" Whitebeard groaned.
"Okay, I've said too many nonsense, let's end this second thing. In fact, it's not a big deal even if you don't join us, because I know that you are also on the road to get the correct answer, as long as this , then it is no longer important no matter what solution or calculation is used." Yamos planned to finish, and he gave more than 20 minutes of consideration time. He had agreed when it was time to agree. If he didn't agree, he would not agree after another year of thinking.
Shanks felt a sense of relief.
The banquet has been held for an hour and a half, and now it has come to an end.The meeting between the two parties has basically ended here. The red-haired pirates returned to the West Sea a while ago and now they are rushing back, wondering what else they have to do.
"Kuzan and I will go to other places soon to bring my friends to help you regain your peak. In this case, we will be more confident in taking down Teach." Yamos sent Whitebeard and his party away. .
"Ku la la la la, that couldn't be better." If Whitebeard can return to his peak, does Whitebeard need to worry about being unable to protect the children? "Then kid, let's go first."
"By the way Ace." Amos stopped Ace, "According to the information we have received, your brother Luffy arrived in Dressrosa today. That is Doflamingo's territory, I still mind You go there."
Ace grinned: "Ah, that boy is a troublemaker. Okay, I get it."
"Goodbye." Yamos stood at the dock of Leize Island, with Drake and Dorat standing on both sides of him. The three of them stood upright and watched the Whitebeard Pirates leave.
As the Moby-Dick sailed away from the dock, the red-haired pirates were also preparing to leave.
"Another short meeting." Shanks sighed.
"See you soon." Yamos smiled.
"Next time, let's have a good chat alone." Shanks gave Yamos a deep look, "Then let's go first. Just call us when the plan is ready."
"Come back." Yamos watched the Redfors leave again.
Kuzan didn't come to see him off because he was asleep now because of his fruit.
"Are you planning to go find Ai Yin?" Dolat said with a bad smile, "If you think about it, it has been seven or eight years since [-] years. Ah, you have been separated for so long in the blink of an eye."
"You are no longer poor." On the way back, Yamos still had a smile on his face.
"A while ago, Edward Weibull was selected as the new Shichibukai. It's really hard to imagine how much stimulation Teacher Zefa received. He left the Navy directly and established the neo navy. Ain and Binz, as Teacher Zefa's cronies, also After leaving, they entered a new world and seemed to be doing something big." Drake said the information.
Dolat thought of something and clapped his hands: "Oh, I forgot about this. When Whitebeard was here just now, he should have asked Weibull if he was his son. He has been known as Whitebeard II all day long. It looks very unpleasant.”
"That guy bears this name, and Whitebeard has never reacted. Maybe there is something going on. But can you stop being such a gossip? Why would Whitebeard's own son do anything to us?" Yamos thanked him in his heart. Drake changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, are you and Kuzan going to see Teacher Zefa?" Derek asked.
"You also want to see the teacher?" Yamos asked.
"I haven't seen those guys in the Navy for seven or eight years. Now they have chosen a completely different path. I don't know how everyone is doing." Drake felt nostalgic for his days in school.
"By the way, I didn't see Drake and Hina when we were in Marineland. Did you see them?" Dolat asked.
Yamos stretched out: "No, I was busy fighting with the generals at that time."
"I heard that that brat Smoker has been promoted to lieutenant general now, and he's doing well. However, the so-called officialdom can lead to failure in love. I remember that he has some interest in Hina." Dolat started gossiping again.
Yamos looked at Derek and said, "How about we arrange a woman for him? I think he is just depressed and likes to think about other people's things all day long."
"Okay, I'll take some time to help him find someone." Derek deliberately took this as an order.
Dorat shut up obediently.
"But it's better for me and Kuzan to go find Teacher Zefa. We need someone here. The new world is different from other places. If you don't pay attention, someone will eat your flesh." After entering the building, Yamos Still decided to let Drake and the others stay.
"Then why not let Kuzan stay? Anyone he leaves behind can drink a pot of it, right?" Dolat said.
"You probably haven't paid attention to the recent intelligence." Drake explained to Dolat, "After Mr. Zefa and the others left the navy, the neo navy they established developed rapidly, which caused uneasiness in the world government. They were afraid of letting loose again. A troublesome opponent sent Kizaru to destroy Teacher Zefa's team."
Dorat suddenly realized when he heard Kizaru's name: "No wonder. That bastard Kizaru has been monitoring us on the Grand Line for nearly two years in the name of protecting us. Now if we meet him again, he might cause trouble again."
"That's right." Yamos took out another cigarette. His addiction to smoking was getting stronger and stronger. "If we really meet Kizaru, it would be a headache. I have fought against him too many times, but I don't think so." I have found out his bottom. If he is still interested in Laizein, I won't be able to handle it. With Kuzan, the combined strength of the two of us is enough to keep Kizaru away. In the final analysis, it is our strength that is not good enough."
"Now we are basically entering a period of calm again. If we want to make a big breakthrough, we need time now." Dolat broke through and became a great swordsman at the end of last year, which was about half a year later than his original goal.
"Yes, progress has begun to slow down significantly now, and the best growth period has passed. If you want to make any achievements, you have to be in your 50s and 50s. During that time, you will basically enter your peak period." Yamos said.Oda said that people in their [-]s enter the peak period of strength. When Akainu and Aokiji fought, Akainu entered his peak period, and Aokiji had not yet entered.
After going upstairs and entering Yamos's office, Derek took over Dorat's inappropriate question and asked: "As you wish, you plan to bring Ain back."
"Yeah." Yamos said.
"What about Teacher Zefa?" Derek asked the question he was more concerned about.
"Teacher," Yamos looked up at the ceiling in the office, not knowing how to save Zefa who was going berserk.
