I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

He took a couple of deep breaths and said, "There was a super strong old man who took my weapon away in an instant and injured me."

"one time?"

Longbread frowned slightly and pressed down on the black leather hat. This rough, big guy is quite tough; to beat him up like this, he can't be weak.

He turned around to look, and quickly shouted, "Silver Axe, stop playing around! There seems to be a tough guy over here. Let's go check it out!"

"Oh?" Silver Axe swung his giant axe and looked over with some interest.

Guided by the injured Kaido, the three quickly arrived at the shore and saw the Celestial Dragons landing on a large ship, as well as Figo, who was wielding Kaido's spiked club and giving orders.

Because Figo had disguised himself as 70 years old, they didn't recognize him at first, and their attention was more focused on the large ship.

"Why...does this look familiar?"

"That looks like... Roger's ship?"

Longbread and Silver Axe, both of whom had fought Roger before, looked at each other with some surprise and doubt.

What are those guys doing here?

To rescue the Celestial Dragons?

Just as they were pondering what to do, their expressions suddenly brightened. They turned around and looked at the golden-haired two-handed swordsman flying towards them.

"Golden Lion Boss!"

"What's wrong with you! You can't even stop some weaker Celestial Dragons and children?"

A disgruntled snort came from the Golden Lion, who then noticed the familiar-looking large ship: "What? It's Roger? Wait! Who's that guy?!"

Suddenly, his eyes met those of a figure carrying a spiked club, and a familiar smile magnified before his eyes, instantly pulling him back to the pleasure street of 20 years ago!

Just as the long bread and silver axe below were about to respond to Golden Lion, they suddenly noticed that the third-ranking officer on the Rocks Pirates' ship suddenly braked in mid-air, turned around, and flew back at high speed!

The movements even had a certain degree of skill.

"Run! That's the King of the World!"

Who? The three people in the long bread were stunned for a second.

He transformed into a 100-meter champion.

Figo chuckled and continued, "Hurry up, everyone, get on the ship and find your seats! No one is allowed in the cabins; those are reserved for the Five Elders!"

……

the other side.

Raiola and the other three boarded the Celestial Dragons' emergency escape ship, slightly out of breath.

“We don’t know when Gaston Figo will arrive. We should take the younger generation out of the Valley of the Gods first and ensure their safety!” said Saint Neilboro.

"Hmm." Another former Elder nodded in response, then suddenly paused, looking at the five or six families sitting on the deck who had come to greet them...

"Why are there only you guys?!" Raiola exclaimed in surprise. "Where is everyone else?!"

These families were also confused: "Was it on another evacuation boat?"

"Another one?"

"Where did this other ship come from?!"

The previous generation of five elders, a group of four, were in a great hurry. We personally covered their retreat, and that's how we ended up in this mess.

"Where are they? Which way did they all go?!"

Soon, four elderly men in their eighties ran breathlessly along the coast to the location of Roger's pirate ship. When they saw the unfamiliar ship packed with hundreds of adult Celestial Dragons and two or three hundred infants whom they regarded as the future, their vision blurred.

Then, seeing the guy wielding a spiked club and smiling at them, Raiola almost fainted: "It's you! Gaston Figo! What are you doing?! What do you want?!"

The Celestial Dragons on the ship heard this shrill roar and were puzzled. One of them shouted, "Lord Raiola, you've finally arrived! Get on the ship quickly, let's get out of here!"

I boarded the ship... I boarded... Raiola's legs went weak, and she collapsed to her knees with a thud.

The other three quickly helped him up, and Neil Borough Saint tried to remain calm: "Don't panic. There's good news and bad news. Gaston Figo is here, so we don't need to worry about our juniors' safety. The bad news is... Gaston Figo, what do you want to do?!"

Figo laughed and said, "Long time no see. I didn't mean to do anything, I just wanted to give them a fair chance."

This time, the Celestial Dragons on the ship finally realized something was wrong. The person who saved them... was the enemy?

Gaston Figo... the King of the World, the Celestial Dragons' greatest enemy?!

The small commotion had barely begun when the cabin of the large ship was suddenly pushed open, and Roger and the others scattered with complicated and helpless expressions, saying, "Don't move! Don't scare or hurt the children!"

Emerging from the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's lair?!

The Celestial Dragons, still shaken, quickly protected the children and remained wary of Roger and his companions.

Even Neil Borough's vision went black this time: "Gol D. Roger? You guys are with Gaston Figo too? Forget it, fairness, what kind of fairness are you talking about?!"

“That was 55 years ago, and it was the starting point of my conflict with you all,” Figo recalled. “You should know about the Buster Call that was stopped by Teacher Doug, right?”

Teacher Doug disagreed with killing the children who were recruited into the Revolutionary Army by Sapphire, even though they might be potential members of the Revolutionary Army or become pirates.

Similarly, I rushed over as soon as I received news of the Rocks Pirates' unusual activity. I did not deliberately delay and let these children be in danger, even though they are Celestial Dragons and even though they may still be hostile to me when they grow up.

That's fairness!

Neil Borough was speechless for a moment, then quickly recalled some details from the documents he had seen before, and said with a look of shock and anger, "You don't mean to..."

“That’s right. After fairness comes the right to choose one’s life. I will bring them all back to Marine Headquarters and, on their path of growth, objectively and fairly tell them about the grudges between the Celestial Dragons and the Marines. They can choose to continue being Celestial Dragons, or of course, they can choose other ways of life and cast aside the responsibilities you have instilled in them!”

"Impossible!!" Neil Borro's voice rasped, "Gaston Figo, stop pretending! What fairness is there in taking a child back to Marine Headquarters?! Besides, you're trying to sever the very foundation of the Celestial Dragons!"

"What's the use of the Celestial Dragons' foundation? What's the use of having so many children?" Figo chuckled. "You're not really still dreaming of regaining power, are you? You can fool yourselves all the time, but to deceive yourselves in front of me? That's hypocrisy, Saint Neilborough. After Im's death, you couldn't even handle one Rocks, let alone overthrow an increasingly powerful Navy?!"

Neil Borough Saint clenched his fists, braced his hands on his knees, and breathed heavily, his eyes gradually turning red.

“Look, you’re all over eighty years old.” Figo sighed. “When Im died, the Devil Fruit didn’t expire, and the Devil Fruit user didn’t go berserk. Can’t you guess some things? It’s too easy for an immortal, strongest being toy with you, the younger generation who didn’t personally experience that history, after the deaths of those 19 kings!”

If you knew the truth I saw on the final island, you might die of shame and indignation!

I will not only leave the children behind, but also their parents. Even though this will cause me some trouble, I am not afraid of trouble. It all comes down to two words: fairness. They grew up in God's Valley and had no choice in the matter.

On the boat, Huo Minggu Sheng, who was holding his wife and two children, looked slightly dazed.

Raiola Saint raised his head, gritting his teeth, and said, "It seems we've made the wrong choice again, Gaston Figo. Your ambition to destroy the Celestial Dragons has never died! This time, we will definitely activate the transmitter and will never compromise with you again!"

Figo chuckled: "It's smelly and hard."

"Fine, whatever."

He and the navy are ready!

Chapter 129 That's the feeling

That's all I have to say.

Upon hearing Figo's words, "Whatever," the four former Five Elders trembled slightly, but their hearts calmed down.

Neil Borough Saint looked at Figo's gray hair and said, "You want to try to make contact with space pirates before you get old and your power diminishes? We've considered that possibility. Perhaps you're right, we have indeed been deceiving ourselves for the past 20 years. How dare you let us go?"

Since you want to single-handedly lead the world in an unknown direction, then so be it!

You have to accept the consequences of your bet.

Figo said, "Then the four of you, please board the ship."

"Hmph!" Raiola flicked his sleeves to brush away the dust, maintaining his last shred of dignity and stubbornness, glaring at Figo as he boarded the ship.

The same applies to the other three.

The Celestial Dragon youths on the ship were trying to comfort the children, some of them at a loss. Having undergone brainwashing education since childhood, a few of the bolder ones were even comparing themselves to the Roger Pirates, who didn't seem very fierce, making Roger look troubled.

How did I get involved in something like this?

Boarding Roger's pirate ship, the four former Five Elders surveyed the future of these Celestial Dragons. The hundreds of children they had painstakingly nurtured were filled with a sorrow they could not express. Neil Boro said in a hoarse voice, "Don't resist anymore, it's pointless. Gaston Figo's Observation Haki allows him to foresee the future, and he is not someone you can ambush."

From now on... follow his arrangements. Just remember one thing! You are the great World Nobles, descendants of gods, Celestial Dragons!

Towards the end, he couldn't help but get excited and his voice cracked.

The air on the ship momentarily stilled.

The baby's loud cries rang out.

Figo boarded the ship and said, "Soothe your children. Now we'll assign cabins. It will take five or six days to sail from here to the Navy Headquarters. Sleeping on the deck will probably make many of you sick. This ship isn't very big, but don't worry if you can't get a cabin. There's another large evacuation ship over there that you were supposed to board."

"..." The five elders of the previous generation remained silent, sitting in empty seats, exhausted in body and mind.

Under the supervision of Figo, Roger, and others, the Celestial Dragon families obediently moved into the cabins of Roger, Rayleigh, and the others.

"Thank you." Suddenly, the deathly silence on the ship was broken by a thank you.

Surprised and angry gazes converged on Huo Minggu Sheng, the source of the thanks, while the four former Five Elders of the previous generation propped themselves up in shock and anger.

Who are you thanking?

Why should we thank him?

You thank the enemy for something as trivial as arranging rooms for you, your wife, and your children?!

“I’m glad that someone as sensible as him could grow up in this environment.” Figo smiled at the sincere Homing Ancient Saint.

He immediately recognized him as Doflamingo's father from the original work. Doflamingo naively withdrew from the Celestial Dragons to be equal with ordinary people, but ended up having his wife killed by an ordinary person who hated the Celestial Dragons and nailed to the wall, indirectly leading to Doflamingo's tragedy.

Saying thank you in this situation might seem naive and reckless, but Figo doesn't dislike it; he's an idealist, not a bad person.

He pinched the cheek of the timid child in Huo Minggu Sheng's arms and asked, "This little girl is very cute... uh, your daughter?"

Figo suddenly felt that something was not right.

Huo Minggu Sheng replied, "Yes."

"What's your name?" Figo asked.

"Don Quixote Dolphin".

Figo turned his head: "Where's your son?"

Huo Minggu Sheng sensed that Figo's tone and atmosphere seemed a bit off, and nervously replied, "Don Quixote Doflamingo."

"Oh, nice name." Figo smiled and stepped aside, saying, "Let's go in."

The names are the same, yet different.
