Anger at Shanks
" Stop, stop, stop…" Lawton interrupted Shanks.
He held his head and said with a headache,"Can't you people be more direct? No matter what he said, he would beat around the bush. Please, we're doing business, not playing politics. Is there a need to be so secretive? Just tell me directly, what do you want me to do?”
Beckman interjected," Let's get straight to the point. Our captain wants you to distinguish the identities of your customers when you do business. Some people you can sell things to, but some people he wants you to limit.”
Although Beckman said so, he didn't think that Lawton would agree to this request. Although they hadn't known each other for long, after yesterday's exchange, Beckman had already understood Lawton's character. At least in terms of character, Beckman could see that Lawton was a rather arrogant person. This kind of person wouldn't listen to others 'opinions easily.
"Hehe, do you think that's possible?" Lawton finally understood what Shanks meant. He could not help but sneer."You're worried that I'll give my things to the wrong people and pose a threat to the world, so you don't want me to sell my things to bad people…right?”
" That's right, this world is too fragile, I…" Shanks showed his compassionate expression, trying to convince Lawton.
"What does that have to do with me? Who do you think you are? What right did he have to interfere in other people's affairs?”Lawton interrupted Shanks and said coldly,""Don't show that expression, Shanks. Your holy mother's expression is really disgusting. Looking at your face makes me want to punch you hard.”
" You…" Shanks looked at Lawton in shock.
Lawton sneered." I'm a businessman. My aim is to make the customers who come to my stall my customers. As long as they can afford it, I can sell anything. As for whether the customers choose to save the world or destroy the world after they buy my things, that has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with you.”
"Aren't you afraid that someone will take your things and destroy the world?”" Don't try to hide it," Shanks said solemnly." Although I've never bought anything from you, I believe that you do have something that can destroy the world in your bag.”
"You're right about that. The things I have here are indeed capable of destroying the world.”Lawton didn't deny it and admitted it generously. But before Shanks could say anything, he said coldly again,""But what does it matter? It's just destroying the world. You don't think that the things I sell can hurt me, do you?”
" You…" Shanks never expected Lawton to say such a thing." You're actually so selfish…"
"If we're talking about selfishness, you're the one who's more selfish, right?”
Lawton stopped sneering, but his eyes were even more disdainful." Others might not know your identity, but I happen to know a little…In order to protect the era that your captain created, you wandered between the world's righteous axes and pirates, ingeniously maintaining the balance between justice and evil, waiting for the birth of the Son of Destiny…As for how many people this era will hurt and what kind of pain it will bring to this world, these are not within your consideration at all…Am I right?”
Among the four kings, Shanks was the most scheming and mysterious one. Unlike the other four kings, he did not target the Pirate King. From the beginning to the end, he did not show too much ambition, nor was he keen on snatching territory, nor did he go out to burn, kill, and plunder. He only fooled around on the sea all day, giving off the feeling of a Buddhist pirate.
Because the Pirates had yet to finish, Lawton could not guess Shanks 'true identity. However, this did not mean that he really did not know anything. At least, Shanks had been working hard to maintain the balance between the Pirates and the world's axe. Lawton could see that.
In order to maintain the balance, Shanks had stopped Kaido from invading White Beard's territory during the war. He had also personally rushed to Malinfando to stop the navy from hunting down the remnants of the White Beard Pirates. For this, he had not hesitated to go against the Shanghai Army. Of course, he did not really want to start a war with the navy. He understood that after a bloody battle with the White Beard Pirates, the navy was also exhausted. It was already so difficult to destroy the Four Emperors Pirates. It was impossible for the Warring States Period to face another Four Emperors Pirate Regiment at this time, so a truce was the best choice for the Warring States Period.
In order to maintain the balance between good and evil, Shanks let Blackbeard go. In fact, with the strength of the Red-Haired Pirates at that time, Blackbeard, who had just formed his own team, would definitely not be a match for him if they were to get serious.
However, without the Blackbeard Pirates and White Beard's death, one of the four kings would be missing. Not only would the navy gain an advantage over the pirates, but more importantly, in order to seize the throne, the New World would definitely go all-out. Even the other three kings would be involved. It was hard to say what the consequences would be.
However, Lawton could only guess this much. After all, the pirates were not finished yet. Shanks 'ultimate goal could only be revealed at the end.
However, in Lawton's opinion, no matter what Shanks 'goal was, no matter if he was a pirate or the world's axe, he could not gamble with the lives of ordinary people.
Roger had started the era of the great pirates. To the pirates, he was great, but very few people realized that the price of starting the era of the great pirates was countless lives. It was started with the turmoil of the sea. In this turbulent era, countless innocent people died, and many people chose to fall because they could not bear the pressure of the pirates and the axe.
It had been ten years since Roger's death, and the world would still be the same for the next ten years. Shanks had no intention of stopping this era, but he had been intentionally or unintentionally delaying the time of the Great Pirate Era. This would also cause more innocent people to become wisps of souls on the sea. In Lawton's opinion, this was a heinous crime, even more hateful than those ferocious pirates. It was simply not worth regretting. What right did he have to criticize Lawton?
Of course, Lawton wasn't a good person. He and the magical products he sold would undoubtedly push the world to become crazier and more unpredictable. Even Lawton himself found it difficult to predict the future. Even though he had read the original work, his appearance was the greatest irony of the original work. Only a genius knew what the future would be like.
