One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 556

The more Gerald talked, the more excited he became. Can he not be excited? It has been two years, and this is the first time he has spoken so freely in front of his father, and has not been interrupted by Matsurize.

After Fujitora's kind reminder from the bystander, Matsurizawa patiently listened to Gerald's words.

Although he still insisted on his own opinion and did not agree with what his son said, he still listened very seriously, never before.

After all, Gerald's words also represent the aspirations of a large part of the Bailong people, and the aspirations of a large part of the high-ranking Bailong people with high ambitions.

That is, the current White Dragon Kingdom is very strong, and it should no longer be complacent, and should not be trapped on Songbai Island and the scattered satellite islands around it.

In the eyes of many Bailong people, the Hundred Beasts Pirates and their Wano Country are no longer looked down upon.

This vigorous and thriving White Dragon Kingdom, unknowingly, when Matsurizawa, the master, master, leader, and pioneer, hadn't noticed much yet.

Represented by Gerald, a large group of people, especially young people in their 30s and [-]s like Gerald, have long been unwilling to accept the current status of the White Dragon Kingdom, and have already set their sights on the whole new world up.

Hearing this, Matsurize also noticed a trace of seriousness, that is, he must calm down and listen to the voices of these young people.

He doesn't listen or listen, he is stubborn, thinking that his decision is so correct, he can ignore other people's opinions and inner voices. If he does this, he may not wait for what Matsurizawa wants to see in the end, and he and his white dragon. When the kingdom peeks at the world, there will be problems within the White Dragon Kingdom itself.

Listening to the words of his eldest son, Matsurize knew a truth, a truth he should have known a long time ago, that is, no matter what you do, you must unite everyone's hearts and work together to make it possible Make it happen!
But even so, Matsurizawa was still not going to give up his thoughts and change his decision, but he still expressed and responded to Gerald's heartfelt words.

Matsurize stood up solemnly, straightened his clothes, and bowed to his son Gerald.

"Father, why is this, my son can't bear it!"

How could Gerald be worshiped by his father, King Matsurize? He quickly lowered his waist and helped Matsurize up.

"I beg you not because I agree with your reasoning, but because you reminded me that I can no longer ignore your opinions.

Today is just right, let me talk to your righteous brother first, my true thoughts, after you listen to it, you still have to do so, and give me your true thoughts back one or two. "

It was rare for Matsurizawa to treat him as an equal. Even if he still disagreed with him at this time, Gerald was much more relaxed.

"What does the father have to say, but it doesn't matter if you say it, the son just listens."

"Why should I wait, endure, wait and wait, endure and endure, not to mention now, in fact, as early as ten years ago, my White Dragon Kingdom, didn't I have the strength to conquer the world? At least, the new The world, we are more active to participate in, this strength is still there.

But why, since then, the national policy I have formulated is to develop in a low-key manner, not to expand outward, and not to take the initiative to provoke troubles, why? "

"Are you afraid of attracting the coveted eyes of pirates?"

Gerald tried to answer.

"Wrong, afraid of pirates, so what about white beards, I have never been afraid of them, the new world, even Roger and the golden lion back then, how have I ever been afraid of them?"

"Then why is that?"

This made Gerald confused, but Fujitora was very calm. He had already guessed what Matsurizawa was afraid of.

"Why, it's because when we Bailong people covet the world, no force can give us a fatal blow, and it's because we want to establish the foundation of eternal life for my White Dragon Kingdom, and because after that thing comes out, no matter what No matter how we behave, no one will think of sweeping us up like garbage."

Matsurize's words really shocked Gerald, who can sweep them away like sweeping garbage.

With the power of the people, military, and national power of the Hakuryu Kingdom today, Fujitora Issho headed by Matsurizawa, Hanazhi-Hyogoro the Leopard, Black Wolf Matsurizawa-Gerald and other high-level super-strengths, as well as the retired The black dragon Spencer, and the gray bat Moonlight Moriah who hides his identity and lurks in the paradise. With the strength of these people, can they have any power to sweep them away like sweeping garbage!

The reason why Gerald is so confident, so ambitious, and so eager to wait is because he understands the real strength of the White Dragon Kingdom better than ordinary people, and better understands the strength of the White Dragon Kingdom that has been hiding behind than ordinary people!

"Father, are your words too alarmist?"

Gerald is really a good son who listens to his father, and he replied bluntly when he asked him to return his true feelings.

Matsurizawa is also rare. It's been a long time since I heard such a straightforward reply.

Fortunately, the one who replied to him was his eldest son, whom he relied heavily on and had high hopes for, and who was his first successor to the White Dragon Kingdom.

If it were someone else, he who has been on the throne for 13 years, who has been influenced by power and cannot listen to blunt and ironic words, and who is full of confidence in his own growing strength, may directly refute him, or even punish him A crime of disrespect.

Faced with Gerald's questions, and even questioning the key points, Matsurizawa asked Fujitora, who had been quietly on the sidelines.

"Brother Yi, what do you think, am I being alarmist?"

"You can't be too cautious."

Fujitora's answer was beyond Gerald's expectation. He didn't expect that his uncle would agree with his father's opinion.

This is actually because Gerald is too young and energetic. Of course, Fujitora knows some inside information because of his previous experience in the navy.

But in the White Dragon Kingdom, most of the older people are more supportive and agree with Matsurizawa's steady state policy.

Gerald's question was quickly answered.

"That thing, boss, you are the first chief officer, you can't be more clear about it."

"Yes."

"Do you think it's just us?"

"Father, what do you mean?"

"I can tell you clearly that others have them too. Not only do they have them, there are many more. They have a long history, and their scale and system are beyond what you and I can imagine."

"Father, you mean, there."

Gerald pointed to the sky with one hand.
