Chapter 159

"The seeds of hope?" Shanks murmured.

"Yes, hope lies in the next generation!"

Shanks nodded to Ryan's words, indicating that he agreed.

He had really seen too much pain and tragedy in his life, otherwise he would not have said that there was no peace and equality in the world. This meant that Shanks was extremely disappointed with the world.

Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.

The more you understand, the more painful it is. The more you know, the more torn you are!

But the more you know, the more truth you will understand.

For example, the darkness of society, the distortion of human nature, the decline of morality, etc.

But it is not these negatives that make people suffer, but their own incompetence, because you will find that you can't change anything, and some people will not dare to face it.

For example, the Red Count Baroric Redfield, because of his natural observation Haki, can hear people's voices. Although it is helpful for fighting, the darkness hidden in people's hearts also makes him feel sick, so he chooses to escape, alone, without any companions around him, because he knows that his companions are not worthy of trust at all. Maybe he once trusted them, but he saw too much and heard too much!

The same is true for Fujitora, because he can't bear to see the ugliness of this world and digs out his eyes, which is another kind of escape. However, although Fujitora escapes, he is also looking for hope, and Ryan is his hope.

The original Shanks in history is actually similar. Because he is powerless to change all this, he bets hope and the future on Luffy.

"In fact, hope is also in you, Ryan!" Shanks looked at Ryan and said seriously.

"Me?" Ryan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Hope is also in you, Shanks!"

"Changing the world is not just about one person's strength. Only by uniting the forces that can be united can we have a chance to do it. It's not just me here. Tiger, Fujitora and others have all paid a lot!" Ryan sighed as he looked at Shanks.

He found that the current Shanks seemed to have changed a little from the Shanks a few years ago. The previous Shanks believed that he could change everything, but now he puts his hope on others.

Whether it is the importance of the Nika Fruit or the words just now, it is the same.

So Ryan wanted to enlighten Shanks, and he didn't say anything nonsense. The fact that the Kingdom of Goa could have such a huge change in just one year was related to his unique forward-looking planning, but it was also related to the efforts of Tiger, Fujitora and others.

If there is no one who implements it seriously, no matter how good your plan is, it will be in vain.

Just like Chinese football, no matter how good your tactics, coach, treatment, and training environment are, if there are no matching players, the effect will never reach the expected level.

To put it bluntly, it's just that the person is not good enough, not motivated, not strictly implementing the training plan and taking every game seriously, without that hard work, failure is inevitable.

"You are right!" Shanks smiled.

Yes, isn't Captain Roger trying to achieve this effect when he opened the Great Pirate Era?

"Ryan, you have really changed a lot!"

"You are the same!"

Shanks sighed in his heart: "Your change is moving in a good direction, and I..."

Picking up a textbook from Goa Elementary School, Shanks read it. He wanted to see what these children were learning.

Shanks' expression suddenly became wonderful, shocked, speechless, emotional, happy, relaxed, etc. In his opinion, this is simply a book against the World Government. The content in it is completely contrary to what the World Government is doing now.

But there was one thing he was very curious about. Shanks asked, "Why are there so many things Mr. Ryan said in the book?"

"Ahem, this was written by someone else!"

"Okay, let's continue reading!" Ryan quickly changed the subject. He hadn't been out for a while because he was busy with his daily practice.

"Okay!"

Ryan took Shanks to the central street.

Central Street, Gaozhen, the palace, these places are full of Ryan and Shanks' footprints.

When they all finished walking and came to the base of the Free Alliance to meet Tiger, Shanks completely understood the meaning of Ryan's words about changing the world.

The current Goa Kingdom is no longer an era where the nobles are rampant and cover the sky with one hand. The status of civilians has gradually improved. Although there are still nobles, the power they enjoy has become smaller and smaller under continuous weakening.

And Shanks has never seen a slave here!

I asked Ryan about the ban on slavery. The current industrial park was also a waste that was originally despised by people.The terminal.

Unlike the civilians in other countries, here he saw that there was light in their eyes, which was the expectation for the future and the yearning for tomorrow.

If there is a happiness index, then the citizens of the Kingdom of Goa should have a happiness index of at least 60 points.

Below 60 points is "unhappy", 60 to 85 points is "average", 85 to 95 points is "happy", and above 95 points is "very happy".

Don't underestimate this mere 60 points. You must know that in the world of pirates, due to many factors such as war, economy, pirates, nobles, and gangs, almost all countries are below 60 points and are unhappy.

So it can reach the passing line. At this time, the Kingdom of Goa is at the forefront of the world.

"This is Tiger!"

"This is Shanks!" Ryan introduced.

"Freedom Alliance?" After greeting Tiger, Shanks saw the five big words under the fiery red flag.
