Chapter 306 I think it's worth it
Was the Whitebeard Pirates stronger, or the Navy?
This question doesn't actually require much thought; the original work has already provided the answer.
Of course, even without a ready-made answer, getting the result is very simple.
Moreover, even those from the Warring States period who were unaware of the original work did not hesitate at all when faced with this question.
"Of course, it's the navy."
That's right, the Whitebeard Pirates are the strongest organization among the Emperors of the Sea.
However, such organizations only appear once every ten years or so.
The Rocks Pirates, the Flying Pirates, the Roger Pirates, and even now, the Whitebeard Pirates are no different from them.
They cannot withstand the passage of time, nor can they withstand the natural renewal and replacement of pirates.
However, the navy is an armed organization that has existed for a full 800 years.
The difference between the two is like that of a century-old evergreen vine and a yesterday's flower.
The difference in quality is immediately apparent simply based on the length of time spent together.
To be honest, the Whitebeard Pirates were indeed not a significant force in the eyes of the entire Navy.
The Navy repeatedly gave way because their enemies were not only the Whitebeard Pirates, but also other pirates.
If the pirates in the New World were to be weakened in their fight against Whitebeard, they would immediately become restless and cause even more disaster.
Therefore, conflicts should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
"Yes, you know very well that we don't want to clash with the Whitebeard Pirates, not because we're afraid of them, but simply because it would be a losing proposition. So, to put it another way, if Whitebeard were to clash with the Navy, wouldn't they suffer losses? And is that the outcome they want?"
If the powerful are wary of the weak, does the weak really not care about the power of the powerful?
It would be a lie to say that I don't care.
And Sengoku understood Roman's meaning.
Just as the Navy doesn't want to clash with the Whitebeard Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates should normally have the same attitude.
But Whitebeard was just too sentimental.
Even though he wasn't stupid, he often did things that were considered extremely foolish in the Warring States period.
If he were the one who got hurt, he might have tolerated it, but if it was his children who got hurt, he would definitely be furious and take some drastic action.
An enraged whitebeard would be Roman's nightmare.
"But it's still too risky. How much do you know about Whitebeard? Do you think she can resist telling Whitebeard?"
“I don’t know much about Whitebeard, but I still want to give it a try. You can consider it an experiment on my part,” Roman said calmly.
test?
Sengoku felt that he could no longer understand Roman's way of thinking.
"Don't worry, my brain isn't broken. I really want to try it out," Roman explained with a smile.
In fact, Roman had been thinking about a question.
Although the Whitebeard Pirates did not exist for as long as the Marines, their reign was quite long compared to the average duration of pirate crews' dominance throughout history.
The period from the disbandment of the Roger Pirates to Whitebeard's death was more than 22 years.
Roger's reign was actually only a few years after the Battle of Eddward and his execution.
Even the Flying Pirates, who inherited part of Rocks' mantle, only dominated for a little over a decade.
In terms of influence on the era, the Roger Pirates reached the pinnacle.
So, considering only the Whitebeard Pirates, given how long they've been developing, is it possible that the Navy has never had any conflicts with the Whitebeard Grand Fleet?
No?
That's definitely not realistic.
So why did the massive conflict between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates only become apparent during the Marineford War?
Actually, this isn't hard to figure out.
Roman felt that the choices made by the members of the Whitebeard Pirates also played a significant role.
Is it really true that after being reprimanded by the Navy, one should go to Whitebeard in tears to complain?
If this happens every time, then some of the Whitebeard Pirates crew might as well quit being pirates altogether.
Moreover, they are all Whitebeard's sons and daughters, so naturally they don't want Whitebeard to risk his life for them.
They all know Whitebeard's temperament very well.
So just as Whitebeard loved them, they loved Whitebeard too.
They wouldn't easily risk a life-or-death battle with the Navy just for their own sake.
Especially someone like Whitebeard.
She followed Whitebeard for longer than most pirate crews.
Of course, Roman didn't think it would be a big deal if Waidibe didn't keep his promise.
If even a veteran like Whitey Bay insists on getting revenge for him, then the Whitebeard Pirates are probably truly on their last legs.
How long can a pirate crew like that last?
This is quite different from the Straw Hat Pirates.
Although Whitey Bay is a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, she is also a captain. If she really did that, she would lose all her self-respect first.
Moreover, the Straw Hat Pirates only had a few members at the time, while the Whitebeard Pirates had a large and powerful crew, and they were able to stand out every time.
So Roman told Sengoku all his thoughts.
The Warring States period was speechless for a long time after listening.
"Do you really believe in the qualities of Whitebeard and his group?" Sengoku finally couldn't help but ask.
"He's been your rival for half your life, so it's not a bad idea to trust his judgment to some extent. Strictly speaking, I don't trust Whitebeard, I trust you, Marshal, because he is your greatest enemy, so I made this choice."
How cunning!
The Warring States period couldn't help but think of this.
Since they've already said that, what else can I say?
"But is it really worth it? To expose yourself to danger..."
“It’s worth it,” Roman said firmly.
