Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Rowan came up with one of his theories——

Life is inherently arrogant, and it is precisely because of arrogance that life can survive.

Whether this theory is correct is irrelevant.

And Vinsmoke Gage, a scientist, disagrees.

But Gage agrees with another thing——

The Ryan Rowan nicknamed [Golden Dawn] in front of him was indeed an arrogant and somewhat conceited emperor, as recorded in historical materials eight hundred years ago.

He agrees with the hypothesis put forward by Gage:

Facing the big tree that takes the whole world as nourishment, the "resistance" emotions generated by the lives in the world are also part of the natural cycle, because the "life" in this world will never attack the big tree. Impossible to succeed.

This assumption is indeed frightening, even spine-chilling.

However, Rowan's answer to this gave others a different feeling.

That is a ridiculous, even absurd statement——

The reason why the previous "life" failed to resist the big tree was entirely because they were not "strong" enough.

...

Gaji couldn't comment on this sentence, but had a very weird feeling.

But if [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile himself were here, he must have sighed like this——

Hehehehe, this is really a very "Lian Rowan" idea!

This man only has his own goal in his eyes, and he never doubts whether he can reach that goal.

As he himself put it:

He is [Golden Dawn] Ryan Rowan.

——In this way, it is enough, and that is the best proof.

...

"Hahahahaha, what an amazing man!"

Gage's gaze moved slightly, thoughtfully.

After a while, he glanced at Rowan and asked, "So, what are you going to do?"

Luo Wen didn't raise his eyes, but continued to stare at the tree on the sand table, and replied slowly:

"Just as I said before—cut down the tree."

Jia Zhi asked: "How?"

"Slash hard." Luo Wen's answer was a bit inexplicable.

Gage just thought it was funny, "A tree that can use the world as a nutrient—it's too big, you can't cut it down."

"Then find many, many people to chop together!"

Luo Wen spoke quite calmly, but in the calmness, he did not conceal the indisputability in it.

He really thought so!

But after hearing these words, Gage couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

"Hehehehe, are you talking about innocent ideals?"

"Did you just say that on top of the text recording this information, there are messages written by Shandora scholars eight hundred years ago?"

"What's that? You might as well say it again and listen."

Luo Wen was very generous and repeated those two words.

"Run."

"Run? Yes, just run."

Jia Zhi whispered slowly: "Then have you ever thought about why the last sentence of those scholars who have recorded such detailed information is 'run away'?"

"Have you ever thought about why the ancient city of Shandora, which was capable of casting an entire sea building and stone room, was finally frozen eight hundred years ago and became a lost city of gold?"

"Because in the end, they all become part of the natural cycle!"

Gage's words echoed on the deck of Germa Kingdom.

The clone soldiers around had never seen a commander like this.

So serious, and exuding a completely different aura than usual.

And what the commander of Germa 66 said at the moment made it hard for the clone soldiers to believe it.

That was not at all something that the founder of the Germa Kingdom, who ruled the North Sea with terror, could say.

Reasonable and calm.

"They lost, Ryan Rowan, they - lost!"

Gage's face darkened.

Gage had no doubts about what Ryan Rowan said just now.

Because that [Golden Dawn] Ryan Rowan would not joke about such things, let alone use such incredible stories to achieve certain strategic goals.

Disdain, let alone that necessary.

Therefore, Jia Zhi's way of thinking is based on "all this is true".

It is precisely because of this that Jiaji will show a completely different attitude from the usual.

Because what he and Ryan Rowan are discussing may be the "unknown" that no one in this sea has ever known!

"If Nicole Robin's translation is correct, can I think so?"

Gage said:

"Eight hundred years ago, the scholars of Shandora discovered the existence of that tree, and also knew about the natural cycle of that tree."

"They want to stop that tree from using the world as nutrients, and have been working on it ever since."

"They have spent countless efforts and countless manpower and material resources."

"So that eight hundred years ago—that is, in the era when you were active, Shandora was unknown."

"They just want to cut down that tree, nothing else makes sense!"

"Because no matter what the real world is, as long as that tree exists, the world will inevitably become its nutrient. Everything that seems to exist forever, whether it is a country or power, will be absorbed!"

"But they failed."

"Being defeated in the hands of that tree, it also became the nutrient of that tree."

"Shandora, just perish."

Gage reached out and grabbed a handful of sand on the sand table.

"So, Ryan Rowan—how do you compare the cards in your hand to Shandora?"

He asked:

"Alabasta, yes, that's your country."

"Then, is your Alabasta capable of casting such a large-scale Hailou Stone Chamber?"

Facing Gage's question, Luo Wen shook his head.

"How does the strength of your army, regardless of Shandora, compare to the Alabasta Empire eight hundred years ago?"

"Not as good."

Rowan answered without hesitation.

Eight hundred years ago, the Alabasta Empire was a terrifying existence that could keep the sea nations awake at night.

Although Alabasta is prosperous today, it is far inferior when it comes to military strength.

It can even be said that without the existence of Ryan Rowan and the Universal Alliance, Alabasta would simply be bullied by the pirates around.

This is why Crocodile will be honored as a national hero.

Hearing such a straightforward answer, Gage was a little surprised.

"Since you already know the gap that exists, why do you want to think about such a whimsical thing?"

"Because it's not just Alabasta that's going to have trees cut down."

Luo Wen spoke and replied:

"Having said that, I never said that the Universal Alliance is a...completely commercial alliance, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, Gage reacted instantly.

He seemed to know what that Ryan Rowan was going to do.

"Vinsmoke Gage, have you heard of the Universal Alliance?"

Rowan grinned, looking very happy and excited.

"How about we unite?"
