Pirates from island owner to king

After gaining freedom, he originally planned to start the goal he set in Impel Down City and defeat all the pirate emperors and generals to prove that he surpassed Roger.

It's just that the existence of Peace Island allowed him to see a new world and made him a little confused.

He was even a little worried that this was a fantasy bubble that would disappear once he got close.

Faced with the invitation from Heping Island, he also hesitated.

In the past few years, while silently observing the Peace Island Kingdom, he continued to train hard to improve his strength.

Until recently, with the news that the Heping Island Kingdom had obtained pure gold, he felt that it was time to make a decision.

So here he comes.

He had some interest in pure gold itself.

Even someone as powerful as Roger, the Pirate King, will die of an incurable disease.

After years of hard training, he could feel that his strength was close to that of Roger.

But he still gets worried.

It's not that I'm afraid that one day I will suddenly die due to some uncontrollable factors.

But he was afraid that before he died, he would not be able to prove that he could surpass Roger.

If there was pure gold, Roger wouldn't have died in the first place.

No doubt Barrett felt he needed solid gold, too.

However, he also knew that if he wanted to defeat Whitebeard and snatch the pure gold from Whitebeard, he might not have much chance of success.

Because the original Roger was only at the top of the exceptional level, but now Whitebeard is already above the exceptional level and is recognized as the strongest in the world.

……

When Barrett drove the submarine close, Gu Gao Hong arrived at the Moby Dick first at a faster speed.

Everyone was a little curious about his arrival.

I wonder if he is also thinking of coming here to snatch pure gold.

As everyone watched, Ryder fell from the sky and landed on the deck.

He looked at Marco, Bista and others who were eager to try, and finally looked at Whitebeard.

"Long time no see Newgate, these sons of yours look very good."

Ryder said with emotion, with undisguised envy on his face.

"If there is a chance in the future, I am not here to start a war today." With that, he said something to Marco and Bista.

Marco and Bista were stunned for a moment, and then remembered the information about Ryder. This man's intelligence was as good as mind reading, and he could clearly see through their thoughts.

The two of them didn't say anything, but looked at their father.

Whitebeard's iconic laughter sounded on the deck: "Kulala, my son, is certainly the most outstanding child on the sea."

Of course, Whitebeard would not be happy if his child was praised by others.

After laughing twice, Whitebeard continued: "Ryder, don't tell me that you are just here to reminisce about old times and tell me your purpose."

Ryder did not hide anything and said directly: "I am getting old and I feel that my peak is no longer there. I need pure gold, so... I came to join the Peace Island Kingdom."

On the deck, everyone who was still guessing about Ryder's purpose was suddenly surprised, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

They have thought about many kinds of Ryder's purpose, and joining the Peace Island Kingdom is one of them, but it may be a smaller one.

Because like Barrett, Wang Hai had already invited Ryder to invite him after he came out of Impel Down City, but he did not receive a clear reply.

It was assumed that it was Ryder who refused.

As a result, now, as one of the legendary pirates, Ryder actually chose to join the Peace Island Kingdom for the sake of pure gold.

But at this time, they suddenly realized that pure gold, which can make people immortal or even immortal, does seem to have this charm.

After all, this is a secret treasure worth more than two thousand tons of gold per gram.

If you reach a certain amount, you can buy the entire ocean.

Although it was understandable, everyone couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Even legendary pirates, strong men who once stood at the pinnacle of the sea, will grow old one day.

They couldn't help but wonder, if it were them, could they calmly face the situation that they were getting older day by day, no longer at their peak, becoming weaker and weaker, and being constantly surpassed by those who came after them.

Imagine such a scene, it seems that it is really not that easy to accept.

Especially, knowing that there is a secret treasure like pure gold.

So, will I face the same situation?

It doesn't seem to be needed.

As the main force following Whitebeard out to sea in search of pure gold this time, based on the amount of pure gold they find, there is a high probability that they will receive a certain amount of pure gold as a reward.

Most importantly, they also know that pure gold is not irrenewable.

Although no clear information has been revealed, the rescue of Asier and Olga from the stomach of the giant lantern fish seems to be related to the production of pure gold.

In other words, there is a high probability that the Heping Island Kingdom will not be short of pure gold in the future.

As long as they work hard enough, not only can they get pure gold themselves, but they can even let their families use pure gold.

Of course, many of the people present were still young and could not quite appreciate the feeling of aging, so they did not care too much about the immortality effect that pure gold could bring.

Especially their strength is still in the growth stage, and many of them have not yet reached their limits.

Now they have understood to some extent that although wearing pure gold can lead to immortality, it is very likely that it will also affect the improvement of their own strength.

Whitebeard's loud laughter broke the silence.

"Kulala, you are welcome to become a member of the Peace Island Kingdom, but the celebration banquet needs to wait until Barrett's little trouble is solved. Maybe his final choice is the same as yours."

Whitebeard also directly agreed to Ryder and made the decision directly.

In fact, Wang Hai had already considered this possibility in advance, so he gave Baibeard the authorization in advance to make the decision directly on his behalf.

Whitebeard asked someone to arrange a place for Ryder to sit down, and at the same time gave Ryder a few explanations.

"He is a great king, unprecedented. In fact, I can't wait to see him."

Whitebeard mentioned Wang Hai, Ryder said this, and it was obvious that he was not being polite.

No one present felt that he was just being polite.

Although Ryder who said this is a legendary pirate, their king Wang Hai is indeed unprecedented, and even great cannot be described.

Especially when Wang Hai defeated Kaido of the Hundred Beasts, his current reputation has reached a further level in the Peace Island Kingdom, making countless people crazily worship him.

Marco and others knew that before this, Wang Hai had been worshiped as the greatest figure in the Heping Island Kingdom.

The prestige is still higher than that of the most powerful White Beard, Golden Lion, and Ananda.

Now, it has been regarded as a god and enshrined on the altar.

Even Marco and others, who are already at the top of the sea, have great respect for Wang Hai.

When necessary, they can die for Wang Hai without hesitation.

Therefore, when they heard Ryder say this, they took it for granted.

There was a little regret that Ryder chose to join and didn't get to see a big battle, but now it's all gone.
