Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Crocodile knew Ryan Rowan, so he knew that he couldn't stop the man in front of him.

No matter what, this sea will become turbulent because of that man's actions!

So he chose to take the initiative, and began to think about one thing:

How should I face the coming "unknown era"?

...

Vinsmoke Gage knew the sea, so he understood the most likely consequences of the man in front of him doing this.

Numerous forces will express dissatisfaction with Ryan Rowan's actions.

They will inevitably launch their own actions against Ryan Rowan's behavior.

Um? Were they going to help Ryan Rowan cut down that tree?

No, of course not.

Instead of taking the risk of challenging a beast whose strength is unknown...or even extremely strong, it is better to directly deal with the "person" who intends to provoke the roar of the beast.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem!

This is the common thinking of most people on the sea.

Despicable, shameless, unjust and immoral.

— but it works.

Instead of taking the huge risk of "burying Ryan Rowan with him", it would be better to be "overwhelmed", close your eyes and cover your ears, and turn a blind eye to the existence of that tree.

Anyway, judging from the previous situation, at least a few hundred years—or even a few thousand years, it is impossible for that tree to pose a threat to the entire world.

That being the case, why take such a big risk?

Vinsmoke Gage can almost meet, if Ryan Rowan really insists on doing this, what will this sea look like.

The Four Seas Alliance will be the enemy of the whole world!

Even within the Four Seas Alliance, there will be people who disagree with Ryan Rowan's behavior.

Even within Alabasta, there will be people who are puzzled by Ryan Rowan's behavior!

This is the inevitable result.

And the consequence of this result after the development is that this group of people who hold opposing opinions will inevitably do their best to stop Ryan Rowan.

For this reason, they even did not hesitate to start a war!

...

Um?

Will Germa66 also choose to fight Ryan Rowan in order to stop him?

Um……

Won't.

Vinsmoke Gage could vouch for that.

Of course not!

He is not stupid!

After initially seeing Ryan Rowan's combat power, he had already made up his mind that he must not easily become an enemy of that man!

That would be a bad deal.

There is only one thing they have to do, and that is to "wait"!

until when?

Wait until Ryan Rowan finds the tree, wait until Ryan Rowan's plan is exposed, wait until the sea realizes what Ryan Rowan is doing...

At that time, there is no need for Germa 66 to touch Ryan Rowan's bad luck, because countless forces, large and small, will inevitably join forces to stop Ryan Rowan!

...

"So you thought so..."

Gage muttered, and looked at Ryan Rowan in front of him again.

In his opinion, Ryan Rowan should be a conservative emperor who doesn't like war very much, otherwise he wouldn't be willing to cooperate with the navy to create a universal alliance.

But there is a fundamental contradiction in this man's behavior.

He shouldn't have been so aggressive!

"Um?"

Thinking of this, Jia Zhi suddenly realized something, and frowned slightly: "What did you see?"

"I saw the 'future'."

Luo Wen raised his head, then held his scepter in his hand, and slowly stood up.

"I saw what was coming."

"But those things that are about to happen don't know how long it will take!"

Jia Zhi retorted: "It is meaningless to attach everything that is unknown to oneself, and bear it all by oneself!"

"Yes, Vinsmoke Gage, there is meaning."

Rowan grinned and said with a smile: "We can explore the unknown, we can explore the 'future', instead of pinning our 'future' on the 'future' itself."

"That's too...passive and boring."

He took a step, but he didn't continue to walk towards Gage, but turned around in the same direction as he came and went, as if planning to leave.

And at the moment when Luo Wen turned around, the sand table that was originally gathered together with the ability of the rustling fruit was eroded by all the sand at this moment, turning into a pool of gravel.

The gravel drifted with the wind, but it did not form a sandstorm that covered people's eyes. Instead, it spread like a layer of tulle over the deck of Germa Kingdom.

Against the backdrop of the sun and the sea breeze, it is indeed a wonderful picture that can be called a spectacle.

"The future reveals our destiny."

Rowan turned around and looked around.

"What we do now determines the future destiny, whether it is us or others."

He looked beyond the clone troopers around him and out to sea in the distance.

"Sometimes, fate will determine the future of others; and sometimes, others will determine the future destiny."

Luo Wen said slowly:

"And I'm exactly the kind of person who doesn't like 'fate' very much."

His voice was calm and firm, and there was even a faint hint of a well-hidden madness in it.

"Since the fate of the future seems to have been decided, I just want to try to see if I can change what is about to happen."

"It's not that I'm going to challenge fate, but fate is challenging me!"

"..."

After a long silence, Luo Wen, who had already walked a few steps, suddenly stopped his steps.

He turned sideways, one eye on Gage behind him.

The sea breeze blew the ribbon on his body slowly.

"Do you still remember the first time you went out to sea, the first time you encountered a storm, how did you feel at that time?"

Gage didn't answer, because he could hear that Rowan was asking and answering himself at that time.

"Oh, I'm very excited!"

"That feeling of breaking through all the unknowns..."

"The feeling that no matter how many unknowns you break through, there is always a bigger unknown in front of you..."

"I'm scared!"

Luo Wen suddenly changed the subject, and said a comment that Jia Zhi would never have thought of.

Fear?

That man who was willing to make an enemy of the whole sea in order to cut down trees, is actually afraid now?

Rowan continued to speak.

"But it is precisely because of 'fear' that we have the motivation to move on!"

"Gaze into the abyss?"

"No no no no……"

"I want to go to the bottom of the abyss to see what is looking at me there!"

"Gage, and you..."

Rowan grinned, showing a happy smile that he had never had before.

Against the backdrop of the sun, it seemed that Luo Wen was really smiling happily.

"Riding the wind and waves is always exciting, isn't it?"
