"Pirates are inherently villains, and no matter how many there are, they have no chance of changing the world."
Fang Yi stated the harsh reality: "In this chaotic world, the Four Seas, ruled by the World Government, are more suitable for villains like them to survive."
"The new era will cause them to perish, so pirates are not a spark, but a darkness that will drag the world into the abyss."
Should we let Straw Hat Luffy end the old era and return to the new era ruled by a giant kingdom?
That kind of thing will only be desperately thwarted by pirates.
Shanks said unwillingly, "But there are also pirates like the Straw Hat Pirates who are willing to save civilians and don't plunder everywhere."
"So, are they pirates?"
Fang Yi suddenly asked.
Shanks was stunned, not understanding the meaning behind the game merchant's sudden question.
Straw Hat Luffy's dream is to become the Pirate King. What else could he be but a pirate?
Fang Yi asked again, "If they don't plunder civilians, don't steal kingdoms, and just travel and adventure everywhere, are they still pirates?"
Shanks opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Those who set sail are a mixed bag, with most being bad people; good people like Luffy are extremely rare.
Therefore,
Whether nobles or commoners, they all referred to them as pirates, and the impression of this group was that of ruthless thugs and villains.
"Pirates are a term used to describe evil seafarers, but the spark that Roger and you want is for those who are burdened by the title of pirate."
Are they really pirates?
The questions exploded in Shanks' mind like Apollo bombs.
Fang Yi simply watched Shanks, who was deep in thought.
He had always felt that the world of One Piece was utterly absurd.
Those who harbored dreams and had the potential to save the world should have shone brightly, but instead they were oppressed by pirates and villains, struggling to survive in the cracks.
Turmoil and chaos
Although they can ignite the flames of resistance, they should not be labeled as pirates.
While the world of One Piece has top-tier powerhouses capable of destroying islands, it hasn't reached the point of collapse; the core population remains ordinary people on the ocean.
Occupying the righteous Navy Headquarters, a single large-scale conscription order could unearth countless vice admirals and two admirals.
The Great Pirate Era
However, those who rebelled against the World Government were branded as pirates and placed on the opposite side of the world.
To win even with all that is thanks to the favor of fate, which spared no effort in helping Straw Hat Luffy.
Without the help of the pirate world's consciousness,
These sparks of resistance had long been wiped out, along with the evil pirates.
Even so, it still caused enormous damage to the entire ocean.
madness.
This is the best adjective that comes to mind for Fang Yi.
"Mr. Fang Yi, are you saying that the spark needed to liberate the world should be distinguished from those plundering pirates, and that we should not associate with them?"
Shanks rubbed his temples, thought for a long time, and then suddenly looked up and asked.
"That's your own business, it has nothing to do with me."
Fang Yi shook his head, explaining that he was simply stating the facts.
He didn't care what insights Shanks had, as long as they didn't interfere with his sales of the Reincarnation Game.
"Yes, evil pirates are destined to fail in liberating the world. We are not pirates!"
Shanks's gaze was intense.
The spark of resistance that Captain Roger longed for should be gathered together, just like the Marine Headquarters, with a common goal and pursuit.
Instead of being mixed in with pirates and being misunderstood and hated by the public.
They're called the resistance army?
Shanks shook his head repeatedly.
In this way, they would easily be targeted by the World Government and the Navy, just like the Revolutionary Army, fleeing everywhere and being wiped out before they could grow stronger.
adventurer?!
They are not pirates, they do not commit arson, murder, or plunder; they go to sea simply to pursue freedom and dreams. Such a group is called adventurers.
Shanks' eyes lit up, his gaze gradually hardening.
"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Fang Yi!"
Shanks took a deep breath and said, "I don't have the assets to restart the world, nor do I want to continue running away to those parallel universes."
“You’re right. Since fate has already been disrupted, it would be very foolish to continue to maintain it.”
"To entrust one's fate to others is the act of a coward."
As he spoke, his thoughts became increasingly expansive.
Shanks raised his head, looking at the game merchant with great pride, and said, "I am not only the inheritor of Captain Roger's will, but I also have my own will!"
"I want to create an adventurer's organization to gather all the sparks that can liberate the world."
"Sever all ties with pirates!"
"Passionate, righteous, and dream-driven individuals shouldn't be labeled as pirates. We are adventurers, people who can liberate and change the world!"
From the state of confusion he was in when he entered the game room after being attacked by Smoker
Now, no longer bound by fate, I see myself as a successor of will, thus burying my own soaring passion and ambition.
Shanks has never been like this before.
I know clearly what I should do and what kind of future I should embrace!
Fang Yi clapped lightly and praised, "That's a really good dream."
It was indeed a pleasant surprise.
After all, for someone like Shanks who is a firm believer in fate, when fate is shattered, the greatest state he experiences is loss and escapism.
For example, that hero of the ninja world is now also shrouded in confusion.
I never expected that players like this would suddenly realize the error of their ways and become loyal supporters of the reincarnation game.
Unexpectedly, Shanks was able to discover his new will so quickly.
A sufficiently strong will and pursuit
It is the key to resisting a polluted world, which is what Fang Yi considers a high-quality player.
Fang Yi only pays attention to these players and values them more.
"The better the dream, the stronger the ability required. I'm already too far behind; I need to become stronger!"
Shanks previously resisted the reincarnation game because he didn't want to change his fate.
but now,
To carry out one's own will, one must exchange for game abilities, at the very least becoming a top player.
Only then will they have the qualifications to negotiate and fight with these powerful forces.
Fang Yi's eyes brightened, and he smiled from the bottom of his heart, saying, "Although the Red-Haired Pirates do not control a large area of the sea as their territory like the other four emperors, they do have some islands, enough for you to buy Destiny items."
The Red-Haired Pirates follow an elite path, with each island possessing unique characteristics, and their inherent essence is not much less than that of the other four Yonko crews.
"Like Hawkeye?"
Shanks turned to look at the products on the shelf, which were glowing faintly.
To become one of the Four Emperors, one must be very clear about one's own strength and attributes.
He possesses superb swordsmanship, comparable to that of a great swordsman, and also has top-tier domineering aura; these are the skills that helped him reach the top.
Therefore,
My own destiny's merchandise should be a type of sword and a sword manual similar to Hawkeye's?
Chapter 237 Shanks' Fateful Commodity
A heart wreathed in blood as red as flames throbbed, radiating a terrifying pressure.
【Dragon Heart】: The heart of a fallen dragon from Runeterra was crafted into an ornament.
"It's actually a dragon's heart?"
Shanks was astonished.
Kaido, one of the Four Emperors known as the strongest creature, is a user of the Blue Dragon Fruit. Even ordinary users of Armament Haki cannot break through his defenses.
This piece of jewelry on the shelf was actually made from a dragon's heart.
Such a craftsman must have extremely exquisite skills and powerful strength!
I really want to invite the craftsman who created this [Dragon Heart] to board the ship and become his partner.
"But does my will desire me to become a dragon?"
Shanks scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
He had witnessed both Kaido's Zoan Devil Fruits and the Dragon Force displayed by the Revolutionary Army leader, and neither of them were particularly suitable for his own fighting style.
"Not all dragon-related products will allow players to evolve into dragons."
Fang Yi corrected Shanks's simplistic thinking, saying, "Although it is indeed unavoidable to gradually become [dragonized] once bloodlines come into contact, or to be exposed to the aura of a high-level life form like a dragon for a long time, the craftsmen who forged the [Dragon Heart] are extremely skilled and have long since eliminated that side effect."
After all, without a strong will to support them, the process of gradually transforming into a dragon could easily turn them into mindless monsters.
