Chapter 539

Mr. Maple, I've always wanted to meet you … "

When both Garp and Shanks fell into silence, Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, finally spoke up. With a hint of respect, he politely picked up the bowl of wine.

Maple looked at him and smiled: "You must be the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon."

"Yes, I am."

Ryu took a deep breath and looked at Maple: "As a traveler, Mr. Maple, you should have a thorough understanding of this world by now. The current World Government has always been controlled by the corrupted, and we hope to overthrow it, liberate this world, and lead it to freedom. That's why we hope to receive your help, Mr. Maple"

The work of the Revolutionary Army was still at the stage of spreading ideas, but if they could get Maple's help, then they may soon be able to overthrow the rule of the World Government.

In this world, there were many powerful people. However, there had never been a single person who had the strength that Feng Ye had. He had destroyed a Holy Land by himself and caused even the World Government to fear him.

And.

Many of those powerful people also have endless ambitions. They want to dominate the world, not liberate it.

Like Whitebeard, who doesn't have much ambition, he has no interest in overthrowing the World Government. Like the Pirate King Roger, he only yearns for the freedom of himself and his companions.

Red Hair Shanks, he has never been clear about the other party's intentions, so this time in Windmill Village, he also wanted to test Shanks's thoughts.

But compared to Shanks, Maple's point of view is undoubtedly much more important.

And Maple once destroyed Holy Land Mariejois and killed a large number of tenryubito. He should also be very dissatisfied with the decay of the world, so he is more likely to get Maple's approval.

"I'm sorry."

Maple shook his head and said calmly: "I won't help you."

Dragon didn't expect Maple to refuse so simply, he was slightly startled and was unwilling to give up: "We don't want to overthrow the world, we just want to overthrow the tenryubito who dominates the government. Mr. Maple who hates tenryubito, you should agree with this point of view, right?"

Maple smiled faintly and said calmly: "I really don't like tenryubito, but they have also tasted the pain now … And the most important thing is, can you guarantee that the new world government you liberate will not breed the same people again because of power?"

"This …"

Dragon fell into hesitation.

He can guarantee that he will not decay, and he can guarantee that his subordinates will yearn for freedom, but he can't guarantee that the future world will not decay again.

"There is no empire that will not decay."

Maple shook the wine bowl in his hand, making the wine in the bowl ripple and said: "Even if a country is strong, powerful, and free, it is impossible to survive for thousands of years without changing, so from strong to decay, this is actually an inevitable process."

"I will not intervene in this process. If you want to overthrow the tenryubito's rule and establish a new government, then it is up to you to do it. If you can do it, it means that it is indeed time for the era to change."

Maple's words made Garp and Shanks' eyes show a bit of a strange light. Such words and ideas are not something that ordinary people can have. Maple's overwhelming strength, coupled with this idea that transcends the world itself, does indeed have a bit of a feeling of a god, although Maple denied this guess.

"… I understand."

After a short period of silence, Dragon took a deep breath and nodded at Maple.

Maple smiled softly and said: "I will also not stand on the side of the World Government, so you can still do what you want, but sometimes I may deal with some people who really act too much, such as Golden Lion."

Shanks said with a little emotion: "Golden Lion was destroyed by you."

He also got the news yesterday. At the beginning, Golden Lion suppressed Roger's existence. If it wasn't for that storm, perhaps there would be no later Pirate King.

But in the end, the sea still stood on Roger's side, and they and Roger finally defeated Golden Lion and let the Roger Pirates reach the end of the Grand Line.

"Ok."

Maple responded nonchalantly and drank the wine in his bowl.

The wine that Shanks used to entertain Dragon and Garp was not bought from Magino's tavern, but brewed by himself, and the taste is considered top-notch even in the Country of Peace.

Shanks, Dragon, and others also drank the wine in their bowls, including Garp who also tasted the wine brewed by Shanks.

And just as several people drank the wine in their bowls, Dragon wanted to comment, his eyes suddenly flashed slightly, and he turned his head to look in a direction on the right.

Not only Dragon.

Akagami (Red Hair) and Garp also looked over there, only Maple seemed to have foreseen what was going to happen, and finally looked over with a smile.

Sig, the brown-robed bandit, was walking over from that direction. He was carrying a young boy around seven or eight years old. He looked around angrily and said, "I'm not going to kill you.

"Hey! Who is this kid's family? Get out here! "

The boy who was about seven or eight years old was Luffy, and he was struggling with all his might, but he couldn't break free.

Garp, Dragon, and Akagami (Red Hair) were stunned by this scene.

Akagami was the first to react, and he stood up and looked at Sieg with a friendly smile. "I'm sorry, calm down first. What's wrong with Luffy?"

"You are his family!"

Sieg walked over with a cold face. He threw Luffy on the ground and said, "This little bastard spilled wine on my clothes. How do you think I should settle this? Ah!"

Shanks pulled Luffy up and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, Luffy didn't do it on purpose. He is still a kid, so forgive him."

Crash!

The sound of a wine bottle breaking could be heard.

Sig threw the bottle at Shanks's face. The bottle broke into pieces and splashed in all directions. The wine splashed all over Shanks's body.

Everyone was silent for a while.

Ivankov's mouth was wide open, and his face was pale. He wanted to go over and tell Sieg who the red-haired man in front of him was.

However, the expected outburst of Shanks did not appear. After a short silence for two seconds, Shanks suddenly laughed out loud and said, "That's right.

"Alright, now that I've also been splashed with wine, we're even."

Sigurd was startled for a moment. Then, he laughed and pointed at his own head. "Even? You said even? Are you kidding me? Who do you think I am? My head is worth 8 million Berries! "

As his voice fell, he suddenly pulled out his pistol.

The group of bandits behind him also raised their guns and swords, aiming at Shanks and Maple, Garp, and Dragon behind him.

The corners of Ivankov's mouth twitched uncontrollably. Even Beckman, Jesub, and the others had strange expressions on their faces and were momentarily speechless.

"You guys, if you want to live, take out 1 million Berries, not one less, otherwise this kid's head … and your heads, will be gone!"

"Now go and get the money for me!"

Sigurd pointed his gun at Shanks and shouted at Maple, Dragon, and the others behind Shanks in a vicious tone.

Dragon: "…"

Garp: "…"

Shanks: "…"

Robin, who was standing not too far away, closed her eyes and exhaled. She had a rough idea of who the so-called 'Bandit King' was, and she also knew why Feng Ye called him that.

He was probably the only one who dared to point a gun at two of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and the Marine hero Garp.

He was indeed worthy of the title "King of Bandits".

Maple stood up and threw the bowl of wine on the ground. He ignored Sieg and the group of bandits and smiled at Garp: "Well, I won't participate in this kind of work that belongs to the Marine. Let's meet again in the future if fate allows it."

As his voice fell.

Maple walked towards Robin's direction.

Sieg was slightly surprised to see this scene. He didn't think that Maple would dare to completely ignore him. Anger flashed in Sieg's eyes.

"Hey! That kid … "

Sieg pointed the gun in his hand at Maple.

But before he could finish speaking, he stopped abruptly, as if his words were stuck in his throat.

Because he saw a Marine rushing over with a coat and handed it to Garp who had been sitting there.

"…"

Garp put on the coat of a Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral and stood up without saying a word.
