Chapter 791 Common Ideal

Kozuki Oden buried his head deeply, his hair spread out to block his expression, his hands clenched into fists, and his nails dug deeply into his flesh.

"Facing the behemoth of the World Government...what are your chances of winning?"

Aizen's face remained as usual when he heard this, and he said calmly: "I don't know."

"No one can accurately predict something that has not happened yet, Oden, not even me."

"There is an old guy on the World Government side who has lost his strength, but as far as he is concerned, he doesn't pose much danger to me."

"And the reason why I say I don't know is just because... there are too many uncertainties in this war."

Speaking of which,

Aizen paused and said firmly: "But I can guarantee that I will use all my strength to kill that guy!"

Kozuki Oden gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Even you yourself are not sure...why should I follow you!"

"Bai Xiaoji entrusted everyone to me...I can never take them to die."

“With any great undertaking there must be sacrifice, and there is never anything certain to die.”

Aizen slowly raised his feet and walked past Kozuki Oden. His eyes were firm and deep, as if he wanted to penetrate the boundless sea.

"I am willing to be this victim not because of how great I am."

His voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a heavy weight.

"But I hope that my relatives and friends can have the right to enjoy a better life from now on."

"As long as the World Government, a dictatorial institution that rules the world, exists, people will never be able to gain true freedom, and war and pain will always envelope the world!"

Kozuki Oden slowly raised his head.

Aizen's figure looked particularly tall under the sunlight, but it also revealed an unspeakable loneliness and determination.

"I realized a long time ago that the world is twisted."

"The pursuit of freedom is people's right, but why should freedom be associated with the profession of pirates?"

"Why do people who pursue freedom have to become pirates? Oden, have you ever thought about this question?"

"I admit that there are a large number of pirates in this world. The purpose of going to sea is to pursue freedom and dreams. They have never done anything like burning, killing or looting."

"But there are too few such people...otherwise there would be no need for the navy to exist."

Aizen's eyes were piercing, as if burning some kind of fire, and he said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "So I want to change everything!"

"And to cut off the root of all these sins is to destroy the existence of the world government and the so-called nobility."

The words fell,

The surroundings fell into silence, and only the breathing of two people and the crashing of waves in the distance could be heard faintly.

Aizen silently glanced at Kozuki Oden behind him and saw him lowering his head again.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said in a low and powerful tone: "Oden, you should have heard of Joey Boy, right?"

The moment I heard this name,

Kozuki Oden's whole body trembled as if struck by lightning, and his originally drooped head slowly lifted up as if being held up by an invisible force.

His eyes widened with an expression of disbelief on his face as he stared at Aizen in front of him.

at the same time,

An unprecedented and incredible idea flashed through his mind like lightning!

This sudden thought shocked him so much that he could hardly speak, as if the whole world had become strange and mysterious at this moment...

Aizen sensed his gaze, glanced at him slightly, and said without hesitation: "I am not a Joeyboy, and I don't want to be a Joeyboy."

After hearing this, the expression on Kozuki Oden's face not only did not change, but also revealed a look of understanding, as if he understood something at this moment!

Aizen couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw this, and said in a deep voice: "Whatever you think."

"Anyway, the power I have now has surpassed Joeyboy, and the cause I want to do is far more ambitious than his original ideal!"

"I not only want to return freedom to the people, but also establish an unprecedented new world order that is completely beneficial to the people!"

"In this new world order, everyone can enjoy true equality and justice, and there will no longer be any form of oppression and exploitation; everyone can give full play to their talents and pursue their own happy life..."

Following Aizen's narration,

Kozuki Oden's tense body gradually relaxed, and his lifeless eyes flickered with a little light at this moment, as if the brightest stars in the night sky were lit up, or like a burning bonfire came to life again, full of thoughts about someone. The meaning of extreme desire and eager yearning for something!

"Oden, you once worked tirelessly to establish the country of Wano. I believe you can understand what I want to do, right?"

Aizen's eyes widened and he stared at Kozuki Oden closely.

His voice was trembling with emotion, and his tone was extremely urgent and passionate.

When Kozuki Oden heard this, his heart suddenly shook, tears flashed in his eyes, he gritted his teeth tightly, and then nodded heavily!

"The restricted freedom of the people of Wano is the epitome of this world, and the source of all this pain is the world government!"

Aizen became more and more emotional as he spoke, his face flushed with excitement, veins popped up on his forehead, and his eyes were full of determination.

"If the World Government is not removed, the country of Wano will never be able to be founded. If the World Government is not removed, the people of the world will never have the right to enjoy freedom and happiness!"

He grabbed Kozuki Oden's collar with both hands, as if he wanted to convey his emotions and beliefs to the other party through this move!

"You should understand, Oden!"

"I see!!!"

Kozuki Oden's face was full of tears, and his voice was choked and he shouted hoarsely. Empathy surged into his heart like a tide, and the youthful pride that had been buried deep in his heart was rekindled and burned!

Seeing this scene,

Aizen felt certain in his heart, and then continued: "It's not just you, I have such an ideal, why doesn't Newgate do the same?"

"He uses his own strength to do his best to protect the safety of a place. Isn't it the embodiment of this ideal?"

Saying,

Aizen turned around and raised his hand to point to the village in the distance.

"You all know that this is Newgate's hometown, but is it really his hometown? Are there really his relatives and friends here?"

"No, there isn't."

"The reason why he regards this place as his hometown, protects it, and keeps delivering treasures here is just because of his thoughts when he was young."

"When Newgate was very young, this place was unable to join the World Government because it was too poor to afford the 'Heavenly Gold', and eventually it became a 'lawless island' where pirates and human traffickers were rampant."

"After the country's demise, more and more children became unfortunate orphans, and Newgate was one of them."

“And isn’t the root of evil that caused all this tragic fate the world government?”

"Newgate did not choose to be an enemy of the World Government just because he did not have enough power, but you are different!"

Aizen looked closely into Kozuki Oden's eyes and said word by word: "Now, this opportunity to end the source of all pain and misfortune is right in front of you."

"You have to make a choice whether to change this or allow it to continue to cause more misfortunes and tragedies."

"I think... if Newgate is still here, he will definitely choose to join me in crusade against the World Government."

"Because he would never hope that a child in the future would have the same unfortunate life as him..."
