I don't want to be a general, I choose Buddhism

On a piece of white ice, with the pure golden lantern fish frozen in mid-air like a large island as the background, a large-scale "Whitebeard Pirates" banquet with thousands of people is in full swing.

Indulge in singing, eat meat, and drink freely...

Perhaps the posture and style of these pirates are far from being elegant, but they fully reveal their unique freedom and romance as pirates, and the relationship between each pirate is like brothers, a joy and harmony !

The white beard, who was not worried about further deterioration of his body before, showed a heroic posture, and almost gulped down nine jars of wine that could be called the height of ordinary people, and then let out a long and comfortable breath.

Immediately, White Beard looked at Ace, who was warmly received by Marco, Joz, Vista and other cadres, but his face was completely forced and ungrateful, and he couldn't help smiling. But he didn't care about Ace's resistance and awkwardness at all.

In this banquet, in addition to Ace's resistance and awkwardness, Kong and Ying, who participated in this special banquet for the first time, also felt extremely uncomfortable.

Especially Kong and Ying, who were swallowed by the pure golden lantern fish for nearly two years, had almost no chance to contact strangers except Olga.

However, the scene at the banquet in front of them completely changed Sora and Ying's perception of pirates.

After receiving Zefa’s education in the past and experiencing Edward Weibull’s attack on the training ship, in Sora and Ying’s young minds, they almost instinctively believed that pirates were heinous, cruel and ruthless bastards like Weibull , it has a considerable degree of hostility towards the pirate group.

Now, it is the first time for Kong and Ying to see a scene of harmony and love among the pirates, which can't help but make Kong and Ying feel a little at a loss.

"Are these all pirates? Brother, why is it different from what the teacher taught..."

Ying said with some puzzlement, but even Kong, who was also quite precocious and intelligent, was at a loss when faced with the impact of this concept, and didn't know how to answer Ying's question at all.

At this moment, Yaen gently patted Kong and Ying's shoulders with his warm palm, and said.

"Almost everything has two sides. Perhaps a common label can be attached to a certain group, but it doesn't mean that everyone in the group is the same..."

"What's more, different standpoints often lead to different perspectives and perceptions of the same thing."

Ying heard the words and nodded with some half-understanding, while Kong fell into deep thought. At the same time, he recalled the video he saw after Yaen disappeared, and vaguely understood that his father The real stand is not the Navy.

And I remembered that guy named Sabo claimed to be a revolutionary army, so...

'Father is the revolutionary army? '

Thinking of this, Kong couldn't help but looked up at Yan.

Facing Kong's probing gaze, Yaen smiled and did not answer Kong, but let Kong and Ying relax at the banquet.

And although Yaen didn't mention his name during the conversation between Kong and Ying, White Beard heard the concern from Yaen's tone and asked.

"What? Are these two your children?"

Yan touched Kong and Ying lightly, nodded softly with his eyes, and replied. "Um."

Valley

Seeing this, Whitebeard couldn't help but look at Yan with a little more approval, and then asked. "Hinlunwan, I've always been curious about what kind of purpose your 'Xuquan' organization is doing."

"What? Is Whitebeard, who is the 'World's Strongest Man', also paying attention to the 'Virtual Circle' organization?" Yann asked.

"Although most of the members of the 'virtual circle' organization have joined the 'Qiwuhai', I can still see that you seem to be planning to challenge the authority of the world government..."

After a pause, the white-bearded eyes opened a little bit, covered with alcohol, and said.

"Especially the monster that appeared seven or eight years ago and caused the entire 'New World' sea area to heat up. Who is he?"

Ion pondered for a moment, then answered indifferently. "The blade is like fire, that's its name."

"The blade is like fire?"

White Beard said with a fighting spirit almost subconsciously on his face. "That kind of monster, I really want to have a good fight..."

After a pause, Whitebeard bowed slightly, leaned his huge body towards Yaen, and asked.

"What is the purpose of the 'virtual circle' organization with so many monsters? Or is there really a so-called god behind it—the 'lord of the virtual circle'?"

Yaen turned his eyes and looked at the white beard who was close at hand for a few seconds. His thoughts turned rapidly, and then he asked in a calm tone.

"White Beard, do you want to know about these things, are you planning to regain the hegemony of this sea? Or are you planning to pave the way for your own children?"

The corners of Whitebeard's mouth curled up into a few smiles, leaning back towards the throne again, and said. "Also as a father, you should understand my purpose very well, don't you?"

Yann heard the words, fell silent for a few breaths, then nodded, and looked at Kong and Ying with soft eyes that were almost similar to white beards.

The reason why some things are done is not only to practice one's own will and dreams, but also for one's own offspring.

"Grumbling..."

Whitebeard once again drank a jar of fine wine, sat on the throne and looked down at the harmonious and joyful banquet in front of him, with obvious satisfaction on his face, and said in a voice that only Ion could hear.

"At first, I thought that the person that Roger once told me would change the sea would be the 'Virtual Circle' organization. At that time, I was still wondering why the time difference was so large..."

Yan turned the wine glass in his hand, and then said.

"Really? Does the One Piece who was sentenced to death still have this kind of dream? But that kind of dream has nothing to do with me. If I want to change something, I will choose to do it myself instead of pinning my hopes on other people." things, or pure prophecies, fates, and so forth."

Whitebeard tilted his head slightly, and he had already heard what he wanted to know from Yan's answer, and then began to answer the answer that Yan wanted to know, and said.

"Children can't stay by Dad's side forever. That's not good for the children's growth. It's just that in this sea, how can I let the children go alone and listen to the children at ease? The laughing sound of adventure at sea?"

Chapter 684 Make a Promise

After a pause, Whitebeard clenched his fist, feeling the strength in his body, as if he had made up his mind, he straightened his tone slightly, and said.

"I used to have the intention to change something, but as a remnant of the era, there are not many things that can be done, and that body can't support my waywardness, but now..."

At the end, Whitebeard's voice paused, and he looked towards Yan.

But Yaen raised his eyebrows slightly, but he vaguely understood what Whitebeard meant.

Immediately, Yaen pondered for a moment, patted Kong and Ying beside him, and said in a gentle tone.

"It's not good to stay by my side with such a lively banquet, go, since you have already started your journey in the sea, then go and learn more about something different."

Ying heard the words with her mouth stuffed a little, she blinked her eyes at Ian, and before she could realize what Ian meant, she was pulled up from her seat by Kong Kong, and then turned towards Marco, Ace, Joz and the others walked in the direction.

"By the way, no drinking, no nonsense..."

In the end, Yann did not forget to remind Kong and Ying to avoid inadvertently revealing any identity-related information.

And as Kong and Ying walked a little farther, Yaen looked up at White Beard and said. "It seems you've already made up your mind, Whitebeard."

White Beard also put down the wine jug in his hand, and said domineeringly in his eyes that were slightly drunk.

"Since I have obtained this body that can support my self-willedness again, if I don't do anything, I'm afraid I will be looked down upon by Roger, the guy who created an era with his own life."

Ian reminded.

"White Beard, according to my judgment, the role of pure gold is to slow down the aging of body cells almost infinitely, so as to realize the immortality of the body and prevent all diseases related to body functions from worsening, but this does not mean that It's like having an immortal body."

"Little ghost, are you underestimating Lao Tzu?" White Beard asked sharply.

"No, it's just testing your awareness. If you don't even have the awareness to give your life, then naturally there is no need to continue to cooperate. The only end for the old guy who is greedy for eternal life and refuses to be buried in the coffin is to slowly decay Drop." Ian said flatly.

"Gu la la la, who do you think I am, kid! I have a white beard!!!"

As Whitebeard's words fell, Whitebeard lifted the "Supreme Great Sharp Knife Cong Yunqie" next to the throne with his backhand and slashed at Yan.

"Arrogant brat, if this is the case, let me measure your size myself."

"Really, it's exactly as expected, that's why I really hate drunk old men, I'm afraid I just want to find an excuse to fight..."

Yann muttered helplessly, the "卍解·Dahonglian Binglun Wan" that had not been lifted suddenly rushed towards Cong Yunqie, and...

"Overlord color winding!"

Black and red lightning suddenly appeared on Yan's body.

"Sure enough, you kid also has the qualifications of a king..."

Seeing this, Whitebeard almost simultaneously used the ability of "Overlord Color Entanglement".

Gu Xiong

For a while, before Cong Yunqie and Zhanhundao really collided, the two completely different domineering arrogances had already confronted each other, causing a storm centered on Whitebeard and Yaen, and they collided violently The black and red lightning spread wildly.

This... is not a pure brute force confrontation, but a real collision of strength in the form of "dominant look and arrogance".

This sudden change almost caused the entire banquet to fall into a moment of silence. It was completely unexpected that White Beard and Yaen, who were sitting alone drinking, would actually start a fight.

"what happened?"

"It's a terrible collision. If you don't have the corresponding awareness, get back quickly, otherwise no one will take care of you if you faint."

"Wait, the sky... the sky actually cracked..."

As Joz inadvertently glanced above Whitebeard and Ion, he suddenly discovered that the aftermath of the domineering collision between Whitebeard and Ion even changed the sky.

Immediately, Whitebeard and Ian also noticed the aftermath of the battle with just one blow, which made most of the pirates in the banquet almost unable to bear it.

In the next moment, the figures of Whitebeard and Ian moved quickly towards the opposite side of the banquet center at the same time, and in the process, the two sides still fought as if they did not forget to hold back.

"Empty shock!"

"The ice dragon spins its tail!"

For a time, pure white ice cubes and cracks filled large areas, and a large number of fine ice crystals that were shaken to the size of powder floated in the air, forming a shocking and dreamy scene.

And as Whitebeard and Ian moved away to a certain extent, the battle between the two sides became more and more exaggerated, with ice dragons roaring, chamfering icebergs falling, and spider web-like cracks intertwining continuously...

Few of the pirates attending the banquet could maintain a calm expression at this moment, and they all watched the battle between Yaen and Whitebeard from afar with shocked eyes.

Compared with the unpretentious battle between Whitebeard and Garp nearly two years ago, or the shocking confrontation between Whitebeard and the pure gold lantern fish that was comparable to the size of an island not long ago, it is far from the movement in front of him. exaggerate.

The confrontation of flying slash, the confrontation of domineering look, the conflict of extreme cold and shock...

This scene fully demonstrated to the pirates what is the most top all-round battle in the sea!

Especially Ace's pupils shrank from time to time, and while showing shock, he even gritted his teeth and muttered. "This bastard actually kept so much when he was fighting with me, he's looking down on someone!"

In the end, the battle lasted for a long time before it gradually calmed down due to the weakening of the physical strength of both sides.

In addition to Yaen's own physical problems, it is not suitable for long-term battles that last for several days. Whitebeard's physical fitness at an advanced age of nearly 70 years old is still quite large compared to his peak period.

However... as far as the battle process is concerned, both Yaen and Whitebeard are quite appreciative of each other's combat power.

Finally, nearly an hour after the fighting subsided, Ian and Whitebeard slowly returned to the banquet area and had a real drink with each other.

"Then... that's the agreement, Hirinmaru." Whitebeard said slowly.

"Well, let's make an agreement here, Whitebeard..."

However, no one knew exactly what agreement Whitebeard and Ion had made. After having a drink with each other, Ian got up and took Sora and Ying away from the ongoing "Whitebeard Pirates" banquet.

Chapter 685 The Price of Bloodline Factor Awakening ([-]rd update)

At the edge of the ice far away from the "Whitebeard Pirates", Yan took off his mask, removed the "卍解·Daguren Hirinwan", and adjusted many physical characteristics such as hair color back to "Naval Hero". Tefimer Ian's normal appearance.

However, Yaen's face was slightly abnormal, and there was obvious blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Father, are you injured?" Ying asked nervously.

Yan smiled, and comforted Kong and Ying disapprovingly. "It's okay, it's just a small injury, Whitebeard is probably much more serious than me..."

In fact, Yan's injuries were quite serious, and it could even be said that he was seriously injured in the true sense.

In the hands of Whitebeard, the "Zhenzhen Fruit" has indeed exerted a terrifying power that can be called destroying the world, especially for a weak person like Yaen, it has a real restraint effect.

Fortunately, the Soul Slaying Knife used by Yaen this time is not "卍解·Sakura Kageyan", but "卍解·Dahongren Hirinwan", which can form a layer of protective ice on the body surface. En's physique couldn't hold it for long.

but……

Yan closed his eyes slightly, with a bit of joy on his face.

Through this battle, after the Reiatsu was enough to fully control the power of "卍解·大红莲冰萨丸", Yan thoroughly confirmed that he really had the strength to confront monsters like Whitebeard head-on.

Rather than the previous battle between Ion and "Red Hair" Shanks, "Red Hair" Shanks himself was quite exhausted in the battle with "Beasts" Kaido, and in the end Ian was almost pure Relying on "卍解·千本樱景凤" and speed, the "red-haired" Shanks was dragged down abruptly.

Although "Red-haired" Shanks readily admitted his defeat in that battle, in fact, Ian knew very well that he was not "red-haired" Shanks in the real face-to-face confrontation again. opponent.

Now, Yaen, who has fully mastered the "卍解·Dahonglian Heirunwan", has truly confirmed that his strength has already stood at the top level of the sea.

In addition, what made Ian even more delighted in this battle was the secret agreement reached with Whitebeard, which greatly promoted the plan that Ian had been secretly planning.
