Chapter 423 Lively Banquet

Peace Island, Cocoa West Village, where the expeditionary force headquarters is located.

When Kizaru arrived here on Garp's warship, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates had already been here for a day.

At this time, the two pirate groups were having a lively banquet, hosted by Hashirama.

The pirates gathered in twos and threes around the burning bonfire, drinking, dancing and bragging.

Hashirama and several pirates were playing a guessing game with dice. Judging from the pile of banknotes in front of the pirates, Hashirama's luck was as bad as ever.

Outside the lively crowd, Whitebeard and Shanks sat opposite each other, drinking.

The two talked a lot about the war on top and Kizaru.

The voyage along the way allowed them to see the excellent grassroots management capabilities of the Kingdom of Light. The Kingdom of Light occupied a large area of ​​the East China Sea in a very short period of time. It was able to maintain the order of various island towns and combat pirates. Such Efficient, nothing short of miraculous.

"The Kingdom of Light led by Kizaru may reshape the order of this sea." Shanks concluded after finishing his drink.

Whitebeard picked up the wine glass in his hand, which was larger than the basin, drank all the sake in one gulp, and then let out a heroic laugh.

"Of course, Kizaru is a hero of the sea that I recognize! That guy's ambition is higher than the entire sea."

"Oh! The ambition is too much. I'm just an ordinary social activist."

Kizaru let out his signature laugh and walked up.

Hearing the sound, Whitebeard and Shanks looked at Kizaru. Whitebeard said with a somewhat grateful tone: "My silly sons were able to evacuate smoothly because of your help. I, Whitebeard, will remember you." Kindness, Kizaru.”

Shanks looked at Kizaru with a smile and said with praise: "The speech you gave at the Navy Headquarters was quite brilliant."

Kizaru walked over to the two of them and sat down. He picked up the unopened wine next to him. After pulling out the cork, he picked up the bottle and drank.

After taking a sip, Kizaru took out a cigar, threw one to Shanks and Whitebeard, and then lit the cigar in his hand.

After slowly exhaling the smoke from his mouth, Kizaru said: "You two, what do you think of the governance of the Kingdom of Light?"

"You are doing better than the navy and the noble officials of the kingdom." Shanks has been to the East China Sea several times before, and he has the most direct feelings about the changes in the East China Sea.

Apart from anything else, just the fact that the civilians on the island were able to return to normal life in a very short time without any worry at all proved the Kingdom of Light's ability to govern at the grassroots level.

"Hahaha! Your soldiers are the first ones I have met who dare to warn the Four Emperors not to break the law. For this reason alone, they are more than the cowards of those participating countries." Whitebeard has never seen Donghai before, but he I have seen too many dirty things from franchise countries and navies.

Kizaru smiled and continued: "I think you must be curious about how we managed to create a systematic military and government management personnel out of thin air in such a short period of time."

Hearing this question, Whitebeard and Shanks both looked at Kizaru curiously. They were indeed curious about how Kizaru did it.

With so many manpower and a large number of powerful ninjas, these personnel seemed to appear out of thin air on the sea.

Kizaru took a puff of his cigar, with a calm smile on his face, and said slowly: "Because, before this, I had already established a country, a huge country that is completely independent of this sea."

Kizaru's words surprised both Whitebeard and Shanks, especially Shanks, the Yonko who likes to run around and has been to almost every corner of the sea.

But in his previous voyages, he had never encountered a country with a similar appearance and temperament to Kizaru's troops.

"Do you want to go and see it? Go and see the prosperous country that I built with my own hands. My speech at the Navy Headquarters was not an exaggeration. I have already implemented it in my own country." Kizaru sent out invite.

"Hahaha! Of course I want to see such an interesting thing." Whitebeard laughed and agreed without any hesitation.

"Sounds quite interesting, we won't miss it." Shanks agreed, his eyes full of curiosity.

"You won't be disappointed there, but today, let's have fun!" After finishing speaking, Kizaru raised the wine bottle in his hand.

After the three of them bumped into each other, they drank all their drinks, then looked at each other and laughed heartily.

"It's too much to not notify me in such a lively occasion, Kizaru." Garp's voice came from afar. He put on casual clothes and flip-flops while eating senbei. , while stepping forward.

With the appearance of Garp, Whitebeard's smile faded slightly, and he turned his head to look at Garp who was walking towards him, "Garp, you old guy, are you ready to leave the Navy?"

"Hahaha, this old guy like me has taken a back seat and started to take care of his old age." After Garp finished eating the senbei, he sat down next to Whitebeard and picked up the bottle of wine that Whitebeard had not yet finished. , took a big drink.

Shanks smiled and looked at Garp who was sitting down. After clinking wine with Kizaru, he continued to pick up the glass and started drinking.

Garp drank all the wine in the bottle and placed it heavily on the ground. He looked at Whitebeard and Kizaru, his expression becoming serious.

"This time, I thank you not as a navy officer, but as Grandpa Ace. Thank you for saving Ace."

After saying that, Garp laughed. He touched the back of his head and said self-deprecatingly: "If Sengoku hears this, he will scold me again, hahaha!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Ace is my son! As long as I am alive, no one is allowed to hurt my Whitebeard's child!" Whitebeard said very seriously. Although he was suffering from illness, he still had the heroic demeanor of his youth.

"Everyone, there is no background or position here. You are all guests of the Kingdom of Light today! You are all my friends, Kizaru!" Kizaru raised his glass.

The atmosphere at the scene became joyful again. The four of them had excellent alcohol tolerance, and soon they were surrounded by empty bottles.

At the end of the drinking, Garp and Whitebeard, a navy officer and a pirate, directly hugged each other's shoulders and laughed and drank together.

The pirates who were drinking and dancing around the bonfire gradually noticed the four people sitting on the periphery. Seeing a navy hero, two pirates of the Four Emperors, and the world government's number one enemy, drinking and eating meat, they couldn't help but feel a little magical.

Ace was also at the banquet. He was sitting inside the bonfire, eating meat and chatting with his crew. After being reminded by other pirates, he noticed that his grandfather had also come here.

He didn't take the initiative to say hello, but just looked at the grandfather who appeared and laughed. (End of this chapter)
