Pirates: The Strongest Vice Admiral In History

"Belief!"

A thunder flashed in Balmond's heart.

He seemed to grasp something, but couldn't fully comprehend it.

Dylan smiled and continued: "Back to the point, why did I kill that person just now?"

Seeing Camilla's still confused look, Dylan turned to look at Balmond.

"In this chaotic era, if the ruler of a country is full of benevolence and morality, even if it will not perish, the country and its people must be in danger at any time."

"Fighting the enemy is of course important! But... Unity within is equally important, and it can even be said to be the prerequisite for fighting the enemy!"

"This country is so dilapidated that there is no time and conditions to correct those stupid people one by one. Balmond, do you think the people are smart or stupid?"

After pondering for a while, Balmond said: "It should be viewed from a different angle. If it is an agitator, of course they will advocate that the people are smart, such as the Revolutionary Army. If it is a ruler... For example, from Celestial From the perspective of Dragons, it should be stupid, right?"

Dylan was slightly surprised, this old man is not simple.

"Yes, in fact, the people are the same as the rulers. There is no difference in essence. But why do many people seem more ignorant, dull, barbaric, and rude?"

The scenery of his hometown flashed through Balmond's mind.

"It's education!"

Balmond blurted out: "They have no education!"

"That's right, but education doesn't simply refer to ancient and raw knowledge. Everything that can increase knowledge and be applied to life can be called 'education'. Everything that can build character and establish belief can also be called 'education'. Call it 'education'."

Dylan held the stew in his hand and looked at the old and the young: "The needs of the people are sometimes simple and scary. They only pray for a full stomach, so we will create such an environment for them. Then... ..."

Dylan grabbed the table knife and held it in his hand: "Build this environment as a whole, so that you, them, this castle, and this land are connected together. Let them identify with each other, this is just loyalty to the royal family or for promotion Getting rich is not enough!"

"They need to fight for what they believe in, for future generations, for this land, for this whole."

"When they really realize what they are fighting for, they have faith!"

······

Sea Circle Calendar 1512.

"Leaving East Blue!?"

"Well, it's about time, I'm going to pick up something from the Grand Line. And... I won't be stationed in East Blue from now on."

Dylan patted Camilla on the shoulder: "After a period of time, my identity will become sensitive and will attract the attention of many people. In order to ensure your safety, I will not come again until the 'final goal' is achieved. Girona."

"Protect yourself, I will send someone back to help you, but not myself."

"I will work with you on the other side of the ocean to change the world!"

······

Camila looked into the distance against the sea breeze, although they had agreed that they would not meet again until "that day".

But every day Camila still comes to this tower after dealing with government affairs.

Looking in the direction he had left.

"By the way, Balmond, the World government has invited us several times. When will we respond to them?"

"next year,"

For this question, Balmond seems to have expected it a long time ago: "We just need to participate in the next 'World Summit' according to his intention. Before that, other people will come forward."

Balmond seemed a little drowsy: "People from the CP organization have frequently appeared in East Blue recently. In addition to the Revolutionary Army, I am afraid that some of our actions have also begun to attract their attention. At this time, we must be more cautious .”

"I can understand your eagerness to see him and help him. But the more we get to this point, the more we have to hold our breath."

Balmond's eyes seemed to close.

"Combining the judgment he gave us and the secret investigation results of the past few years, it shows that East Blue is definitely not as peaceful as imagined!"

·······

"The next task is to advance towards the 'New World'. Note that it is not to occupy the territory. Too much territory will become our burden and constraint. Our main goal is to clean up the pirates."

Inside the meeting room of G5, key members sit together.

Dylan pointed to the area near the Calm Belt: "The first target - the area ruled by the original 'Whitebeard Pirates'!"

"yes!"

"in addition·······"

Dylan picked up Shura who was next to him and looked towards the gate: "Shiryu! Tom! Follow me to collect the bill first! Tahir looks after the house!"

Tom's expression didn't change much, he just came behind Dylan first, and Shiryu held the handle of "Thunderstorm".

"'Empress'... I really hope they can resist..."

Bell, who had not yet left, glanced at Shiryu.

"You guy, why did you become more and more weird after the war!?"

After the Summit War, Shiryu's body changed a lot. His teeth began to become sharper, and his skin began to change in the direction of jet black. There were also many weird and frightening lines on the exposed skin.

"If you want to talk about Devil Fruit, it matches your current appearance very well, hahaha."

After speaking, Bell, Mel, Ian, and Luo left together, and the 07 combat unit disappeared long after Dylan announced the mission.

Shiryu didn't care about Bell Mel's ridicule, but said while following Dylan: "I like the current state very much, and I can feel the growth of strength. Dylan..."

Shiryu looked at the cloak fluttering in front of him: "After I complete the 'awakening' you mentioned, shall I challenge you again!?"

"Don't cry~"

Dylan raised his hand and jumped onto the warship first.

"Dylan, bang, I have a question."

After the warship sailed, Tom sat on the deck and watched Dylan.

"Isn't that ring able to carry living things? Why do we still have to take a boat every time?"

"Ah... Everyone wants to know... Bringing us at your speed will save a lot of time, right?"

Shiryu turned his head away while wiping away the thunderstorm, something they had discussed privately many times.

Dylan twirled the "Fortified City Ring" on his finger and shook his head: "Vegapunk said that although brute force can't destroy it, the fruit ability cannot be ruled out."

"The 'fruit abilities' in this world are all kinds of strange things. It just takes more time to take you with you. If you put you in the ring every time and make it a habit, it will become a hidden danger."

"There is a colonel in the headquarters named Hugh, as you know."

"do not know!"

"do not know!"

Tsk!

Dylan gave the two of them a blank look. Compared with CP0, these two guys are much more boring, not qualified to be a fan!

"His fruit ability is the 'rust fruit', all metals will be turned into rust by him. There are also abilities such as... regressive fruit, which can restore matter to its original state..."

Dylan leaned on the ship's side: "The 'ring' itself is just a dead thing, and it doesn't have a mind. I usually need to concentrate on using it. If the enemy makes a plan for it... I may not have the time to be able to use it." Get you out of the ring."

"Once the ring is destroyed, you will most likely be crushed into nothingness."

"So unless we encounter extremely special circumstances, we don't need to save this time, and... this is likely to become one of our means of surprise attacks in the future!"
