Chapter 1189 The Unstoppable Trend of History
The look on Admiral Kizaru's face as he tries to hold back his laughter in the future (?w?) reflects the mood of most viewers watching the show. Sometimes, content that is too bizarre can really make people feel uncomfortable.
"Shanks is only recorded in the unofficial history of street vendors. Roger's little brother has become like this, I guess he can hardly save face." The Golden Lion Shiki seized this opportunity and of course laughed at Roger's little brother.
He was silent for more than 20 years. After he came out again, the intern on Roger's ship, who was once ignored by the public, unexpectedly became the emperor of the sea and a hegemon.
Shiqi felt worse than if he had eaten a fly. Of course he would applaud when he saw people related to Roger in trouble.
He himself became a background board for Pirate King Roger in the battle for hegemony. Shanks was not even a background board in history. There was no such person in the official history of the empire. This treatment was really tragic.
Whitebeard looked at his old friend, who continued to drink a few more glasses because of Shanks' matter, and instructed his adopted sons with his eyes to continue to add wine and food to Shiki so that he could drink to his heart's content.
Shi Ji is a man of temperament. He is not good at plotting or scheming. When he wants to kill someone, he will just pick up a knife and do it. He will not wait for a moment and is too lazy to pretend.
As for Roger's posthumous son Ace, Ski has never expressed any strong opinions. He doesn't want to do anything to a child, especially a little bastard who doesn't recognize his biological father but only recognizes his godfather.
Shiki agreed to cooperate with Whitebeard because he wanted to take away more navy soldiers before he died of old age. Garp and Sengoku teamed up to lock him up in an underwater prison. If he didn't avenge himself, he would die with regret.
Kozuki Hiyori took the good wine brought by his brothers, walked to the front of the Golden Lion, and poured wine into the old senior's large wine glass. "Senior, I have an idea. The historical traces of Shanks have been erased. I think the Empire did it on purpose."
Shanks has the blood of Celestial Dragons. Whether he admits it or not, most people will regard him as a Celestial Dragon. The overall good or bad of the Celestial Dragons will affect the evaluation of him.
The first sea emperor to be eliminated by the newly established navy was the pirate group to which Shanks belonged. He was the only crew member on the ship to escape.
Shanks was unwilling to participate in any subsequent major events that affected the maritime situation. He was perfectly invisible in the long river of history. It was too easy for the Imperial historical perspective to delete or modify any content related to him.
"The Navy established an empire, where do you think those Celestial Dragons will go?"
After taking a swig from his glass, Edward Newgate posed this question that made people think a lot: Can the navy, which is so decisive and ruthless, let go of the gods after coming to power?
"Either they were all killed or exiled to the underworld. These are probably the only two possibilities." These are the only things Marco could think of.
Following his father's train of thought, Marco somewhat understood what his father was implying. Since Shanks had the blood of the Celestial Dragons in his body, the content related to him should be deleted.
It is very likely that in a few hundred years in the future, the Empire will not recognize the Celestial Dragons from a legal perspective, and famous people with Celestial Dragon blood will be affected, and the true history will be tampered with.
Whitebeard sighed. He began to understand why Sengoku insisted on going ahead with the war even though he knew that it would bring uncertainty.
Sengoku is also old, and like Whitebeard, he belongs to the old era. Before the new era, the navy is paving the way.
Instead of shirking responsibility for matters that he could resolve during his tenure to later Marine Admirals, Sengoku wanted to step on the corpses of great pirates to allow the Navy to gain greater prestige than in the future.
For this, Zhan Guo could give everything. After realizing this, Whitebeard covered his swollen head. He felt helpless at the feeling of being pushed forward by the trend of history.
It is so difficult for a person to change an era. Whitebeard knew that he couldn't do it, and Captain Rocks couldn't do it either. Only the smiling Roger of the same period could do it.
Buggy the Joker is the second pirate who changed the era after Roger. It is no wonder that Harley Quinn admires the clown so much.
Regardless of whether the era he leads is good or bad, Buggy, as the second person, is leading the new era, while Whitebeard only feels that the trend of history is irreversible. As he grows old, his heart also grows old. His former ideals have become out of reach, and he can only live one day at a time.
"If there is a chance, I really want to meet Buggy and see what kind of person this second person after Roger is."
The old man sighed from the bottom of his heart, causing his adopted sons beside him to sense the pessimism in Whitebeard's mood. They wondered how many of those present could survive the battle with the navy.
But as long as he can follow his father to the end, family members must die together. Everything of the Whitebeard Pirates depends on Edward Newgate alone.
Shiki had no impression of the trainee crew members on Roger's ship. The only things he could remember were Roger's two vice-captains. When the final naval battle took place with Roger's pirate group, Buggy and Shanks were still minors.
Shiki won't miss the last chance to see Buggy.
Shanks and his adopted daughter Uta, when seeing the content about the future, actually felt similar to Admiral Kizaru. At times, the word "unlucky" could no longer be used to describe it.
"Tianmu described Mr. Bucky as being so powerful. Is my father really that powerful?"
Uta sat in the arms of his adoptive father, his little head resting on Shanks' broad chest. He raised his little head with a curious look, wanting to confirm the answer from Shanks.
"Uta, let me take you to form a new pirate group. There is really no future in following your father. You won't even leave a name in history." Beckman is a bad friend among bad friends. The crew members are no longer surprised by his captain's sarcastic attitude.
As the vice-captain, Beckman is the person who knows Shanks best in the group. He doesn't care that the man in front of him has Celestial Dragon blood. He doesn't care that his words and his thoughts are two different things. Like the other crew members, he will follow Shanks to the end.
Even if they don't leave their names in history, what does it matter? The frequency of pirate renewal is faster than that of other forces. Pirates have worthless lives. Once they die, they die. Not many pirates care about their posthumous reputation.
"Bucky is not in a good situation right now. He will definitely be targeted by many people. There will be more people who want to kill him than before."
This is the disadvantage of being exposed by Tianmu. He gains fame that he doesn't deserve now, but the result may be backlash. It is hard to say whether he will become the second Momonosuke.
Shanks had a smile on his face and was very patient with his adopted daughter. After all, he only had this one daughter and he himself had no intention of getting married. It would be a bit too difficult for Red Hair to let a drunkard find a woman and have a child.
"To be honest with you, Uta, I'm a little confused. I can't see through Buggy. He was indeed very weak before the fruit awakened. Now, he is more like a stranger to me."
Shanks put away his smile. If he saw Buggy again, he would be on guard. Their relationship would never go back to the way it was before.
