Listening to Crocodile's mildly enlightened statement, Gawain narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.

"You are right, Crocodile. In some aspects, the East China Sea has special advantages that the other four seas do not have!"

I saw Gawain raising his right hand, and thunder and lightning continued to condense in his hand, and then evolved into the general appearance of the planet today.

That is, the New World and the Grand Line split the planet into two, and then the ocean currents cut it into four seas.

At the same time, Gawain's armed color quietly climbed onto the Thunder Planet, dyeing the Alabasta route, the grand route within it, a deep black.

Gawain continued in due course.

“What we are going to do is something new that has never been seen on the ocean before.

Although both you and I firmly believe that is right.

But for civilians around the world, a new life that they have never been exposed to and personally experienced may not be something worth looking forward to.

Many people in the world have a pessimistic attitude towards the unknown.

In particular, no matter what kind of dilemma we are in, there will be a comfort zone around us...

Even if we are thrown into a concentration camp, when we endure unbearable torture, when we face a life of starvation.

Maybe at night, even the little bits of moonlight coming from the small window of the prison can bring us short-term sweetness and at the same time become our comfort zone in hell.

At this time, if we are about to be transferred to a luxury single-person concentration camp, no matter how beautiful others describe the place we are about to arrive, we will tremble on the way out.

At that time, we will be afraid of the unknown future while painfully missing that glimmer of moonlight in hell.

Human beings are like this. We always find our own comfort zone in different environments!"

"Hiss...!"

"Ouch!"

"Well……."

Gawain's words not only made Crocodile tremble for a moment.

Big Bear and Robin behind him quickly took out pen and paper to record it after being distracted for a moment!

While Big Bear and the two were recording rapidly, Gawain did not stop speaking. He continued to speak softly to Crocodile with his eyes that were as clear as the bright moon.

"Now, we are bringing an unknown life to the world.

No matter what kind of life we ​​claim to make people live, we are actually forcibly breaking their existing life rhythm and driving them out of their current comfort zone!

If we are going to face resistance and resistance from all over the world in the future, then we must not complain or even hate those who regard us as our enemies.

We can pity their ignorance, but we cannot laugh at their short-sightedness, because our vision and theirs are not at the same level from the beginning.

We cannot have bad feelings towards others just because they do not understand us.

What we have to do is to find a way for them to understand as much as possible!”

Gawain raised his hand and made a crisp, thunderous snap of his fingers.

“Remember, when people don’t agree with our depiction of the future, it’s the fault of superiors like you and me, because we failed to make them understand in a better way!

And if people don't recognize the changes we've made to them, it's still the fault of superiors like you and me, and this mistake is even more serious than the last one.

Because if we have changed their lives and they still don’t recognize us, it’s not that they don’t understand us, but that we don’t understand them.”

Having said this, Gawain gently patted Crocodile on the shoulder.

"We have to understand the world, at least sometimes, we have to think from their perspective.

For example, we have been planting our flags on the islands on the route.

Looking at the flying flag of Black Bird, if we are islanders who have not waited for our arrival, then we may not be looking forward to the arrival of Black Bird.

You and I who have walked this road, and the people who have been affected by you and me, are truly experiencing and about to welcome the changes we have brought about.

Only those who have experienced it personally understand that our behavior is not simply oppression and aggression.

So what should we do to get more countries to accept our existence?

The way to solve this problem is not to expand blindly to give more unknowns to others.

What we have to do is to build a future that has come to a conclusion and is no longer unknown before they even have time to realize the unknowns we have brought!

To put it simply, if we go to the North Sea or the West Sea, we will directly leave the unknown to a series of countries with super strong armed forces, such as the Kingdom of Flowers.

But when we go to the East China Sea, we will use the weakness of this sea area to prevent other countries from being extremely resistant to the fact that we are creating a new pattern in the East China Sea, and to create a future that has truly been changed by us!

By then, the East China Sea will be the most eye-catching sea of ​​stars, and the pictures of the future we have created will spread to the four seas at the fastest speed and join the vision of other countries in the Great Sea and the New World.

There is only one outcome, nothing more than success or failure.

The processes are diverse, and it is the process that determines success or failure.

So, Crocodile, do you understand my purpose?"

After saying that, Gawain looked at Crocodile gently.

As for Crocodile, he opened his mouth slightly and kept moving his head up and down.

"I understand, sir!"

Crocodile's tone became much more enthusiastic, and that enthusiasm was even mixed with a little anxiety and excitement.

After listening to Gawain's judgment about the future and the way he decided to act based on it, Crocodile always felt that the possibility of Gawain's success was increasing infinitely!

From now on, Gawain's success is exactly the success of his Sand Crocodile!

As a result, Crocodile's torn face showed an increasingly excited smile!

Looking at Crocodile's knowing sneer...

Gawain couldn't help but pursed his lips.

Here we go again, here we go again, right?

After Xi Liu, there was another guy who kept giving him that fierce sneer!!!

Why…….

As an excellent captain, what can Gawain do? He can only accept his own crew.

Who told his crew that they were all so good that he couldn't bear to let them go?

Even Crocodile!

Looking at Lao Sha, Gawain took a deep breath. Countless data were spinning in his mind.

Although in the original plot, Crocodile was ruthlessly defeated by Luffy who had a bounty of 30 million...

That's right, when Luffy defeated Crocodile, the bounty was only 30 million!

And the most outrageous thing is that Luffy, who defeated Crocodile, only had a bounty of 100 million!

Because of this, Crocodile almost became a shame in the Shichibukai!

Everyone felt that Crocodile was too weak. He was so weak that he almost slandered the reputation of the Shichibukai!

And because of Crocodile's bounty, Whitebeard's strength has been underestimated by countless people.

After all, in the original plot of One Piece, even such a weak Crocodile was able to fight Whitebeard a few times in the battle on top!

Luffy defeated Lao Sha, and Lao Sha and Whitebeard were able to touch each other a little.

In this comparison, Whitebeard should not be much stronger than Luffy at that time, right?

But it turns out that many people were wrong.

Because two years after the War on the Top, that is, four and a half years after Gawain's current timeline.

When the World Government abolished the Shichibukai system and placed the Shichibukai on wanted orders again...

Crocodile's bounty has soared to 1.99 billion!

Infinitely close to two billion, this bounty surpasses almost every lieutenant of the Four Emperors!

Although this bounty does not prove that Crocodile is better than Marco and Katakuri, from a side perspective, Laosha is at least someone who can stand alongside Marco and Katakuri!

At the same time, in the Shichibukai system, Lao Sha's strength is barely enough to rank among the top three.

Big Bear is the second in command of the Revolutionary Army. If the Revolutionary Army is a pirate group, then Big Bear's identity can be equivalent to Dragon's deputy.

At least he is no worse than Sand Crocodile.

Again, Brother Ming, this guy has always been a tit-for-tat character with Lao Sha.

Regardless of whether they are on top or behind, as long as they are in the same frame, he and Lao Sha will always be at odds with each other.

Therefore, if Brother Ming is not a Qibukai, then his reward will not be much worse than Lao Sha at least!

Next, let’s talk about Hawkeye, the world’s number one swordsman. After losing his identity as the Shichibukai, his bounty directly reached 3.59 billion!

Infinitely close to 3.6 billion!

This bounty is already nearly 1.4 billion higher than that of Blackbeard...

It is conceivable that the top spot in the Shichibukai, the legendary strongest swordsman, Hawkeye's strength is at least a monster-like general level!
To be continued...
