I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

Tell Aokiji what justice is?

joke.

How could he possibly explain such a grand concept clearly?

Moreover, justice itself cannot be accurately defined depending on different classes and different perspectives.

Just like a wolf eating a sheep, can you say the wolf is evil?

Dick wasn't good at talking his way out of things, but he knew about Aokiji's confusion.

Because of Ohara.

Also because of his friend, Saulo.

"Everyone has a different understanding of justice, but I know that the World Government and the rule of the Celestial Dragons are definitely not the justice you want."

"In other words, you want to change things, you want to uphold your own justice, but you are powerless to do so. You can only go with the flow, bury your head like an ostrich, and eventually give up."

Aokiji remained silent.

Indeed, Dick's words truly resonated with him.

"From the moment you mentioned Dragon, I knew that you probably also believed that the Revolutionary Army's ideology was stronger than the World Government's, no, I should say that any normal government was stronger than the World Government's rule."

"But it's probably impossible for you to betray the Navy with your long-standing commitment and lifelong belief."

"With numerous pirates roaming the seas, the navy has become an indispensable part of maintaining order at sea."

"So, let's become Fleet Admiral first, Kuzan."

Aokiji frowned deeply.

"First become the Fleet Admiral and take control of the entire navy, then we can talk about other things."

"At that point, whether you want to uphold your own sense of justice or continue to slack off, you'll have better options, won't you?"

Dick turned and walked away, but stopped after a few steps.

"By the way, I'll let you in on a secret: the Celestial Dragons' ultimate plan is to destroy the world."

Aokiji suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a strong aura of dominance suddenly appeared on his body, which then immediately disappeared.

"Oh, really? Evidence?"

"As for evidence, I don't have any at the moment, but you can try to find Dr. Vegapunk. As a Marine Admiral, you can easily meet him."

"As far as I know, after the destruction of Ohara, Vegapunk collected many books about Ohara, including the blank 100 years of history. Let him study them carefully."

"You want to study taboos during the blank 100 years?" Aokiji's tone was stern.

This reminded him of Ohara.

"No, but the truth about the world's destruction is right there."

"Aren't you curious? Why do the Celestial Dragons live on the Red Line, an extremely barren land? The Celestial Dragons have even slaughtered an entire country every three years, so why are they afraid of the Void Century being exposed?"

"What crime is more serious than the massacre of an entire nation over three years?"

Aokiji remained silent, his face alternating between pale and flushed.

Thinking about it that way, it really is strange.

Crimes more serious than the massacre of an entire country over three years should, in principle, be beyond the reach of any incriminating evidence.

Because nothing is more serious than the massacre of a nation.

Perhaps, the only solution is to destroy the world.

Is it true that the Celestial Dragons are really going to destroy the world?

"Here's some advice for you, Vegapunk. You're under constant surveillance, even on the phone. So, Vegapunk, you'd better be careful when researching forbidden topics. And you two, once you know the truth, don't expose it, or you'll be wiped out by the government."

Oh, and watch out for Caesar and Saturn Satan.

Aokiji gave Dick a deep look.

"As I suspected, you know a lot of classified information. I'm curious, how did you find out this information?"

"Is that important? What you should be concerned about right now is the destruction of the world. This is my phone number. Contact me again once you are certain that the world is going to be destroyed."

He gave Dick a long look.

Aokiji turned around.

"Oh, by the way, I have a gift for you,"

Dick took out a collector's edition of "The Road to Pirate King".

It also has Dick's signature on it.

Qing Pheasant:? ? ?

Staring blankly at the manuscript in his hand, then at Dick, Aokiji was momentarily stunned.

What is this thing?

"It's very beneficial to take more time to look at things."

"Okay, I'll try."

Vegapunk had researched forbidden history in advance, so after concluding that the world was doomed, and given Dick's previous words, it would only take a little guidance to convince Vegapunk of the Celestial Dragons' ultimate plan.

This involves using ancient weapons to submerge the world in the ocean. Only the inhabitants of Mary Geoise will survive. All forces opposing the Celestial Dragons, and all those whom the Celestial Dragons consider trash, will vanish.

Once the tide recedes, the Celestial Dragons will rebuild the world order.

The Celestial Dragons obtained a perfect, unpolluted, and pure new world, and truly became the gods of the new world.

Dick wasn't sure if Im and the Five Elders were planning to do that. He could only say it was a possibility.

But Dick was determined to convince Vegapunk that this was indeed the Celestial Dragons' plan.

And we have been working towards this goal.

By then, Vegapunk will absolutely no longer research any military technology for the Navy or the World Government;

If Aokiji knew this, he would definitely become a leading figure in the opposition against the World Government.

"Hmph, Celestial Dragons, you're going to have to take the blame for the World Destroyer Demon King."

When Nico Robin saw that Dick was safe and sound, she was overjoyed and instinctively wanted to run over.

Then she realized something and calmed down.

"Are you okay?"

"Ah, it's alright. I told you, Aokiji can't kill me."

Robin nodded silently.

She stared blankly at Dick, slightly lost in thought.

For the first time, she gained a deep understanding of Dick's abilities. She also realized that she had truly underestimated him before.

And, partners?

Saulo, perhaps, has finally found a partner he can trust.

No need for precautions, no need for calculations, no need for caution.

Robin seemed to hear "Tre-hee-hee-hee" again.

Dick calls the bear.

He's going to Rogge.

The place where Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, began and ended.

Although Vegapunk was the world's greatest scientist, his intelligence was clearly concentrated in science and technology.

The study of the 100-year gap in our research might be discovered—no, it certainly will be discovered.

Just a matter of time.

If Vegapunk were to be erased by the government, that would be a huge loss.

Therefore, Dick needs to be prepared.

Be ready to rescue people at any time.

Dick was also envious of Vegapunk's technology.

Especially that artificial Devil Fruit, Seraph, is something that completely disrupts the balance.

Loguetown, Dick's Club.

The underworld organization established by Bartolomeo, a devoted fan.

After being impressed by Dick, Bartolomeo organized his brothers and formed an organization with the goal of following Dick.

Its name is Dick's Club.

At first, many people were unwilling because they had no idea who Dick was.

However, as Dick's power and influence in the East China Sea grew, they all changed their minds.

Especially with the support of the highest-ranking official in Loguetown, the Dick Club has developed extremely rapidly.
