Chapter 301: The Huang Yuan Coming to Deliver Goods

Regarding Saint Saint Saiwen's wish to adopt Luffy as his son, Luffy's father Dragon raised no objection, and Luffy's grandfather Garp likewise raised no objection.

For they had heard more than once that a Pirate Emperor on the seas liked to adopt sons everywhere.

Perhaps all pirates are fond of this sort of thing.

Moreover, if Saint Saint Saiwen became Luffy's godfather, it would be even more beneficial for little Luffy's safety and growth in Inazuma.

Regardless, Saint Saint Saiwen is, after all, the Raiden Shogun of Inazuma, the king of Inazuma.

Garp picked his nose, and a barely concealable look of pride suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Then wouldn't I become your father?"

After Ace, Luo Jie's son, became his grandson, and now Luffy's godfather Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen would become his son, Garp felt he had made a huge profit.

Saint Saint Saiwen rolled his eyes.

"Garp Saint Saint Saiwen."

"I dare to call you that; do you dare to answer?"

Did Garp dare to answer?

If it were before, Garp would certainly have happily agreed; gaining a Celestial Dragon son for nothing, it looked like a sure profit with no loss from any angle.

However, in the future Luffy would live in Inazuma, and Saint Saint Saiwen was the boss of Inazuma.

Even just for the sake of his own grandson Luffy, Garp did not dare to agree.

"Ahaha~" Garp laughed to cover his embarrassment.

Ace, who was following Rouge, stared curiously at Saint Saint Saiwen without stopping.

"Mom, little Luffy has gained another father."

For Luffy, who had just been born not long ago, Saint Saint Saiwen could call out without any hesitation: Little Luffy, be my son.

But for Ace, Captain Luo Jie's son, Saint Saint Saiwen could actually also say, be my son.

It just felt a bit awkward to do so.

In fact, Saint Saint Saiwen always addressed Luo Jie as Boss and Rouge as Sister-in-law, rather than viewing Captain Luo Jie as a father like Shanks and Buggy did.

He was, after all, a formal crew member of Luo Jie's crew, while Shanks and Buggy were merely interns.

"Let's go, first look at the place where we will stay."

The huge Shogun's Mansion was purchased by Saint Saint Saiwen from the Shangcheng system with ten thousand points back then; while its security was maxed out, the internal facilities were all complete.

There was no problem for the entire Morning Star Crew to move in.

After settling Rouge and her two children, taking advantage of the chefs preparing the banquet, Saint Saint Saiwen led Garp and Dragon to the conference room.

Discovering that gray hair had already appeared at Garp's temples, Saint Saint Saiwen hesitated for a moment but ultimately took out a pure gold pendant.

For fruit users like Golden Lion and Whitebeard, old men of the old era who were also skilled in using weapons, wearing a pure gold ring was no problem.

Garp was different.

If a pure gold ring were given to Garp, given Garp's combat style, the ring band would very likely be damaged during battle.

Who on the seas does not know that Garp is skilled at using his Iron Fist?

Garp, taken aback, accepted the pendant: "What is this for an old man like me?"

The moment the words fell, Garp suddenly sensed something was wrong; it seemed that from the second he accepted the pendant, his body fell into a strange state.

"This is?"

"Pure gold, pure gold that makes people live forever."

Garp and his son displayed the same shocked expression, their eyeballs bulging round, their gazes tightly locked on the small pendant.

"Nani?!"

"The pure gold the Celestial Dragons have been searching for?"

Gazing at the pure gold that previously existed only in legends but now appeared in his hand, Garp shook his head and handed the pendant back.

"Living forever... it is too precious."

Having roamed the seas for many years, Garp naturally understood why Saint Saint Saiwen would give him a pure gold pendant; it was nothing more than to win over him, this Navy hero.

But Garp was unwilling to leave the Navy.

After the God Valley Great War ended, facing the invitation to join the ship launched by Luo Jie, Garp made the same decision as he did now.

If he left the Navy, who would protect the Navy?

Seeing this, Saint Saint Saiwen could only explain.

"It is not to make you leave the Navy, but to preserve top-tier combat power, so that you do not become unable to exert your full strength in the future due to age issues."

Peak Garp alone holding back two or three Gorosei was no problem at all.

Top-tier strength was only one aspect; more importantly was Garp's unparalleled prestige within the Navy.

The God Valley Great War was nineteen years ago, and Garp becoming the Navy hero was also nineteen years ago; his calling power within the Navy was unmatched by anyone.

Even Navy Fleet Admiral Sengoku could not do it.

Therefore, Saint Saint Saiwen gave the pure gold pendant to Garp, hoping that in the future Garp could call upon a group of Navy members to maintain neutrality or join the camp to overthrow the World Government.

Before launching a full-scale war.

Saint Saint Saiwen wanted to do everything possible to make their own side stronger, while simultaneously weakening the World Government's combat power.

Funding the Revolutionary Army was, inviting Kizaru to board the ship was, lending money to Harald was, and causing a disturbance in Impel Down under a different identity to rescue the Red Count was also.

"Preserving strength..." Garp understood.

Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen was certain that he would not side with the World Government, and would even call upon the Navy to rebel.

Luo Jie indeed did not speak wrongly: Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen really has a keen eye for people.

"I will accept the item."

"As for future matters, let us discuss them in the future."

Karp gave Saint Saint Saiwen no promise, but both understood perfectly what Karp's acceptance of the pure gold pendant truly meant.

The dragon, silently watching all this, finally understood at this moment how Saint Saint Saiwen had persuaded the Red Count to join the Revolutionary Army.

For old-era powerhouses like the Old Man, the Red Count, and the Golden Lion, the power of pure gold was incomparable.

I ask you, who does not wish to remain forever at their peak?

To enjoy an endless life, to do things one previously wanted to do but lacked the time and ability to do... commonly known as enjoying life.

The dragon simultaneously realized that Saint Saint Saiwen must have a great deal of pure gold and had already given it to quite a few people.

Then, after the World Government is overthrown, these old-era powerhouses possessing pure gold might become hidden threats in the new era.

Though he had already realized the problem, the dragon said nothing.

He was mainly worried the Old Man would feel hurt, or even beat him, his unfilial son, into a pulp.

The most urgent task is to overthrow the World Government.

The troubles that will arise after the World Government is overthrown must naturally be considered only after it is overthrown, or when it is about to be overthrown.

Considering this problem now is too early.

Seeing the Old Man put away the pure gold pendant, the dragon felt a bit envious, yet did not speak up to ask Saint Saint Saiwen for one.

He was only thirty-six this year; there were still many years before he would need pure gold to maintain his peak.

"Mr., the Revolutionary Army's next step..."

Before the dragon could finish speaking, Saint Saint Saiwen casually took out the "Collected Works of the Great Man" purchased from the trading platform.

"The path of revolution lies within it."

Two flowers bloomed; let us speak of one branch.

While Saint Saint Saiwen was exchanging revolutionary experiences with Karp and the dragon, Kizaru, who had retrieved the goods from the Holy Land, was speeding toward Wano Country in the form of light.

To be honest, Kizaru could no longer recall how many times he had delivered goods to Saint Saint Saiwen.

Every time the Five Elders provided a Devil Fruit, every time it was after a major event, and every time it was him who made the delivery.

It truly left one speechless.

Sometimes Kizaru couldn't help but wonder if the World Government, especially the Five Elders, had a problem with their brains.

Delivering Devil Fruits to Saint Saint Saiwen before was one thing, after all, back then the World Government wanted to woo Saint Saint Saiwen and the Morning Star Group.

This time, Saint Saint Saiwen killed a Celestial Dragon.

Yet, the Five Elders still rushed to deliver Devil Fruits to Saint Saint Saiwen, rare Mythical Zoan types at that, and even had him, an Admiral of the Navy, deliver them personally.

With the Five Elders... the World Government will sooner or later fall.
