"Anshan Village is a remote village similar to Windmill Village. There are more than a hundred villagers in total. Due to the invasion and looting by the Sadai Pirates, no one in the village was spared, and all of them were killed."
William took off his military cap, his expression was very serious.
Looking at the charred land in front of him, he recalled the home he could not return to.
What a similarity.
The simple village, the crazy pirates, the sinful fire burned all the innocent people, leaving only the wreckage on the ground.
"Ace, Luffy, this is the pirate you have longed for."
William turned his head and looked at Luffy and Ace who looked in disbelief. They had no energy to erase the incident at Uncertain Terminal and could not accept the hellish scene in front of them.
In their view, the so-called pirates are just a gang like bandits, bold adventurers who often hold parties, drink heavily, and eat large chunks of meat.
However, the tragic scene in front of them brought them back to reality.
"This is just a tragedy caused by pirates with a bounty of three million. What about pirates with thirty million, three hundred million, three billion? Luffy, Ace, Sabo, and One Piece Roger's bounty is as high as 55 64.8 million beli, which means that if you want to surpass him, you will have to slaughter at least 200,000 villagers."
William walked to Ace and Luffy's side. He squatted down slightly, held down Luffy's lowered head with both hands, and then forced him to control it and look directly at the tragic scene in front of him.
"Imagine killing 200,000 Dadan, killing 200,000 Maginot, and killing 200,000 Village Chief Slap. Luffy, this is the Pirate King."
The devil-like whisper echoed in the ears of Luffy and Ace. Little Luffy was so frightened that he ran to Garp's feet and kept wailing.
As if Ace had been hit by something, he collapsed on the ground with a pale face.
"Kill...200,000 Dadan..."
Ace has always been quite dissatisfied with his father, but at the same time he also wanted to surpass him. However, in the face of William's unreasonable calculation, he couldn't even finish a sentence.
Among the three brothers, the only one who could still stand firm was Sabo. As a nobleman, he knew that William's words contained a hint of exaggeration, but he did not confuse the audience. He just told Luffy and Ace that he wanted to To become the Pirate King, you need to be mentally prepared first.
"Grandpa, I don't want to kill Sister Maginot, and I don't want to kill Grandpa Slap either!"
Although little Luffy was left by Garp to Dadan to help take care of him, he was also a frequent visitor to Maginot's Tavern because of his naughty and cute nature, so he also quite liked the gentle Maginot.
When he heard that to become the Pirate King, he needed to kill Maginot and Mayor Slap, Luffy couldn't help it.
Garp gently patted his grandson on the shoulder. He glanced at William and had no idea about William's actions.
After all, he knew William's life experience. Compared to Ace and Luffy, William was much worse off.
All the Anshan Village in front of them were killed, and William was the only one left in the village.
On this sea, how many people are similar to William and the villagers of Anshan Village?
"Smelly old man, is what he said true?"
While Luffy was crying, a long time passed before Ace staggered to Garp's side. He raised his head and looked at the gray-haired Garp. Although his voice was low, his tone was quite strong.
Garp knew what Ace was asking, but he opened his mouth but didn't know how to respond.
How many people did Roger kill?
Probably no more than 10,000, but how many people died because of Roger?
Since the Great Pirate Era, there have been at least a million!
In other words, William even put it lightly!
"Eh."
Between a thousand words, Garp could only turn into a sigh.
This sigh was the last straw that crushed Ace. His eyes dimmed, and his idea of surpassing his father and becoming the new Pirate King gradually shattered.
Although Ace yearns for freedom, he is not yet a beast.
Although Dadan is a bit nagging, his unadulterated love is enough for Ace to regard Dadan as his closest relative.
If becoming the Pirate King meant killing countless Dadans, then he would rather stay in the mountains forever.
Looking at Ace's lonely expression, William nodded slightly, it was still too early.
If a few years later, Sabo died on the way out to sea, Luffy experienced the red-haired brainwashing, and Ace experienced the fire at the Uncertain Terminal, then his idea of turning these three little animals around would be simply impossible. It goes against nature.
But now, children are the best to fool, aren't they?
"Teacher Garp, I apply to take Luffy and the others to hunt down the Sadai Pirates."
After seeing that his plan worked, William struck while the iron was hot and prepared to lead the three little ones to directly attack the vicious pirate group, thus completely cutting off their thoughts of becoming pirates.
Garp naturally has no idea of rejection. Although he hopes that Ace and Luffy can live happily, if he can stop Ace and Luffy from wanting to become pirates, he doesn't mind letting the three little ones go through the storm in advance!
"Brother William, I want to kill that Sadai with my own hands!"
Ace walked up to William, his expression was quite serious.
Ace, who fights ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests, is naturally not afraid of killing, but he will never kill innocent people indiscriminately. What he wants to kill is just the criminals like this cholera sea!
"Then you have to practice hard."
William rubbed Ace's head. Ace was a little younger than Kuina. Now he wanted to deal with pirates with a bounty of three million, which was still a bit of a dream.
You must know that Bailey in this era is still relatively valuable. The reward of three million will be at least five or six million more than ten years later, not to mention that Sadai has been raised to five million.
Put in the East China Sea, a reward of this level is already considered a big pirate.
Ace was silent for three seconds, then turned around and walked in front of Garp, his eyes very firm.
"Smelly old man, teach me how to practice!"
