บท 452: Chapter 452: 'The Bandit King' and Luffy
When Garp and Shanks fell silent, Dragon, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up.
"I've wanted to meet you for a long time, Mr. Yeruashi..."
The leader of the Revolutionary Army took a sip of wine and addressed Yeruashi politely.
Yeruashi looked at him with a smile, "You are the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon."
"Yes."
Dragon stared at Yeruashi and said earnestly, "You must understand perfectly well what the state of affairs in the world is right now, Mr. Yeruashi. A corrupt and decadent World Government rules over the common people, and the Revolutionary Army hopes to overthrow it in order to bring this world to freedom...we would really like your help on this difficult path."
Now the Revolutionary Army is still in the stage of spreading ideas in the world, but if they manage to get Yeruashi's help, then the real overthrow of the World Government may be just around the corner.
There are many strong people in the sea, but none of them can compare to The Traveler who can single-handedly destroy the Holy Land of Marijoa and strike fear into the hearts of the Heavenly Dragons.
Also.
Strong people do not usually have less strong ambitions.
They want to dominate the world, not liberate it.
Whitebeard is clearly different, but he is not interested in something like overthrowing the World Government.
The Strongest Man in the World, like Pirate King Roger, longs for freedom only for himself and his comrades.
Dragon did not know Shanks' intentions and ideas, so he wanted to talk to him during this chance meeting in East Blue, but compared to Shanks, Yeruashi was, of course, much more important.
The fact that Yeruashi destroyed the Holy Land of Marijoa, simultaneously killing many Heavenly Dragons, clearly indicated that he was also dissatisfied with the current state of affairs in the world, so Dragon could not miss a good opportunity to get such strong support.
"Unfortunately..."
Yeruashi shook his head and said calmly, "I have no intention of supporting your revolution."
The Dragon was stunned when he received a completely negative answer, but still refused to give up, "The Revolutionary Army has no intention of plunging the world into an era of chaos and ruin, we seek to overthrow only the Heavenly Dragons who rule the World Government Do you, as a person who hates Heavenly Dragons, disagree with this?"
Yeruashi said matter-of-factly, "I really don't like the Heavenly Dragons, but they have already experienced pain, and what's much more important.... Can you guarantee that the released and renewed World Government won't be distorted by power and won't give birth to new Heavenly Dragons?"
"This..."
Dragon was perplexed.
He could guarantee that he would not do such a thing, and he was also sure that his faithful followers were fighting for true freedom, but no one can guarantee that in the future, the new World Government will not start to decay like the current one.
"The state will not begin to decay just in one case... if it is overthrown in time."
Yeruashi swirled the glass, creating a slight ripple on the surface of the wine, "Even the most stable and free state cannot remain unchanged for thousands of years, so the transition from strength to decay is an inevitable process."
"I do not wish to interfere in this process - do you seek to overthrow the Heavenly Dragons and create a new World Government? Then give it a try! If you succeed, it means it's time for changes in this world."
Garp and Shanks were lost in thought when they heard Yeruashi's words.
In their opinion, normal people definitely do not have such thoughts and ideas.
Yeruashi's overwhelming power, combined with his ideas that transcended the world and time, really created an aura of divinity and detachment around them, despite Yeruashi's own denial.
"...I understand you."
Dragon sighed and nodded to Yeruashi, after a few seconds of silence.
Yeruashi smiled, "I certainly won't side with the World Government, so that the Revolutionary Army can continue to advance towards its goal, but sometimes I'll deal with bastards who go over the edge, like Shiki."
Shanks sighed, "You killed Shiki..."
He also heard the news of Shiki's death.
In the past, Shiki managed to suppress even Roger.
There probably wouldn't have been a Pirate King if it hadn't been for that storm.
At the most critical moment, the sea itself sided with Roger, allowing him to defeat Shiki, so that Roger's Pirates would then conquer Grand Line.
"Yes."
Yeruashi replied calmly as he took a sip of wine.
The wine used by Shanks to treat Garp and Dragon, of course, was not purchased from the Makino bar, but was specially prepared for such an occasion, and was considered first class even by the standards of the Wano Country.
Dragon and Garp also drank from the bowls, enjoying Shanks' wine.
Just as the three drank from the bowls and Dragon opened his mouth to assess Shanks' wine, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and turned his head sharply, looking in a certain direction.
Garp and Shanks also looked there.
Only Yeruashi smiled and turned his head belatedly, as if anticipating what was happening.
Just as Yeruashi turned his head, the bandit Higuma, dressed in a shabby brown cloak, appeared in that direction.
Higuma looked around angrily, carrying a boy of about seven or eight years old in his hand, "Hey! Where are this little bastard's relatives? Come here, quick!!!"
Little Luffy struggled with all his might, but could not escape the bandit's strong grip.
Garp, Dragon and Shanks were momentarily stunned at the sight of this scene.
Shanks stood up and smiled at Higuma, reacting faster than the others, "Excuse me, let's talk calmly... What happened to Luffy?"
"Are you his relative?"
Higuma approached Shanks and said coldly, throwing Luffy to the ground in front of him, "That little bastard spilled juice on my cape! How are you going to repay me? huh?!"
Shanks said with a kind smile, picking Luffy up from the ground, "I apologize, Luffy must have done it accidentally, just forgive him, because he's just a little..."
Boom!!!
The sound of breaking glass was heard.
Higuma smashed the wine bottle he was holding in his hand on Shanks' head.
Shanks' clothes were covered in wine, and many splashes and shards of glass flew sideways.
Silence.
Ivankov suddenly turned pale and opened his mouth, intending to remind Higuma what kind of person was standing in front of him.
However, one of the New World Emperors did not become enraged, but only laughed out loud, contrary to the others' expectations, "hahaha, now I'm also sprayed with wine, so we're even."
Higuma was silent for a moment, then grinned mischievously, pointing to his head with his hand, "Even? Don't talk nonsense, you idiot! Who are you and who am I! My head is worth 8 million belli!"
As he spoke, he drew his gun.
The mountain bandits following Higuma raised a variety of firearms and swords, aiming them at Shanks, Garp, Dragon and Yeruashi.
Ivankov, Beckman, Yasopp and the others, who were on the sidelines, simply didn't know what to say when they saw this too ridiculous scene.
"Hey you guys, immediately give me a million and not a belli less if you want to save your miserable lives, otherwise.... I'll rip that little bastard's head off!"
"Now bring me the belli, quick!"
Higuma pointed the gun at Shanks and shouted loudly, looking at Garp, Dragon and Yeruashi, who were sitting in a nearby clearing.
Yeruashi:"..."
Garp: "..."
Shanks: "..."
Robin, who was standing nearby, slammed her fist against her palm, realizing who Yeruashi meant by "the bandit king" and why she called him that.
Dare to threaten the Leader of the Revolutionary Army, the Hero of the Patrol and two Friends with a gun... there is no second person like that in the whole world.
He truly deserves the title of king of bandits.
Yeruashi threw the empty bowl on the ground and slowly stood up, then smiled at Garp, completely ignoring Higuma and his mountain bandits, "I'm not going to participate, because this is the Navy's job, see you later."
As he spoke, Yeruashi calmly took a step in Robin's direction.
Higuma was stunned at first, not expecting anyone to dare to ignore him completely, and then he became enraged.
"Hey! You bastard..."
Higuma pointed the gun barrel at Yeruashi.
But the next moment, the bandit interrupted his fierce tirade, because he noticed a Marine running into the clearing, holding a snow-white cape of a Navy officer in his hands, and politely handed it to Garp.
"..."
Garp slowly stood up and put on the Navy Vice Admiral's cloak, glancing grimly at Higuma and the other bandits in front of him.
