Chapter 965 Agreement

...

"Why... do I sense a familiar aura emanating from you..."

Im narrowed his eyes, his scarlet pupils fixed on Gel.

"Tch, what an old-fashioned way to pick up girls. Too bad, this captain isn't falling for that, you old monster."

Gel waved his hand dismissively.

Im frowned in confusion, then continued speaking to himself.

"I don't see what you want in your eyes. What is the purpose of your attack on Mary Geoise?"

"Enough with the nonsense! There's an inherent, irreconcilable conflict between us. You want complete control over the world, while I seek freedom from being controlled by anyone! Words are useless; in the end, we'll settle this with fists. So, let's get started, and let's see something I've never seen before."

"free?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Im's eyes.

"Are you going to go against the World Government for something so vague and unrealistic?"

"What is this vague and ethereal concept of freedom? I can see it and touch it."

Ger reached out and gave Im a firm grip, looking at him confidently.

"I have enough power to protect what I want to protect, and no one can take it away from me! Not even a god!"

"madness!"

"Hey, can't you even have a conversation? Don't I have any dignity?"

Ger couldn't help but complain, but Im ignored him and continued to ask.

"So, your purpose in attacking the Holy Land of Mary Geoise was to liberate those lowly slaves and give them their freedom?"

"Of course not!"

"Hehe, a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. It was just a small favor, a trivial matter, the purpose is not important."

Gerd said frankly.

"We are now enemies. I, the captain, am more than happy to do anything that will cause trouble for you Celestial Dragons, hehe."

"Humph!"

Im snorted coldly.

"Do you think that without the Celestial Dragons and without Mu, the world would be completely liberated and everyone could rightfully enjoy their freedom?"

"How will we know if it will work if we don't try? Even if it really doesn't work, the only ones who will suffer the loss are you Celestial Dragons."

Ger replied nonchalantly.

"Innocent!"

Upon hearing this, Im couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"The essence of this world is the survival of the fittest. So-called fairness, justice, and freedom simply do not exist. The weak submit to the strong, and the strong dominate the weak! This is the natural order! The 'liberation' and 'freedom' you talk about are nothing more than slogans shouted to realize your own ambitions."

Im's tone was icy.

Ger rested his chin on his hand, looking like he was listening attentively.

"Ah, yes, you're right, but what does this have to do with Captain Ben?"

"Hehehe! The freedom I'm talking about is simply 'I can do whatever I want!'"

"As for liberating the whole world? Or making everyone free and happy? That's the Laughing Boy's job. I, the captain, am too lazy to do such a stupid thing! In comparison, I agree more with your point of view, because the vast majority of people in this world actually need to be ruled!"

"Oh? Since you agree with Mu's point of view, then why did you choose to become Mu's enemy?"

"Im asked, puzzled."

"Why? Of course, it's because if you Celestial Dragons continue to wreak havoc, this world will be completely destroyed! How can I live happily then?"

"This ocean needs someone to rule it, but who rules it is another matter entirely! Idiot!"

Im narrowed his eyes, stared at the unrestrained and arrogant smile on Ger's face, and remained silent for a while before suddenly speaking.

"Davy Jones? No, you're a remnant of the Davy family!"

"The David family? No, no, no... the real remnants of the David family are now... um... no, it seems that can indeed be considered that way."

Gel scratched his head somewhat guiltily, then instantly switched to a serious expression and said earnestly.

"I never thought that after all my efforts to hide it, you would still see through it at a glance!"

"It really is Davy D. Jones's bloodline! Has it appeared again?"

Im's gaze sharpened, and his expression instantly turned serious.

"Haha, regarding bloodlines, I did hear some kind person talk about it when I first came to this world. However, I hate the idea of ​​bloodlines the most. It makes it sound like I, the captain, didn't work hard and that everything I have today is thanks to someone else."

"I never imagined that any remnants would still exist today! They really are a persistent ghost! Therefore, you should all be wiped out, the David clan should be completely erased from history..."

Im's eyes gradually turned angry.

"Oh, right!"

"I've also heard that you made a very important agreement with our David clan?"

Ger scratched the back of his head and said with an inappropriate laugh.

"Hehehe! Since it's an agreement, it should be kept! I'm already here today, so why don't you fulfill the promise you made back then?"

"Agreement? What agreement?!"

Im's tone turned somber.

"Well..."

Ger thought to himself, "Who knows what kind of agreement you have?"

"Clap clap clap!"

Ger suddenly clapped his hands, then pretended to know the whole truth and continued to probe.

"What a pretentious guy! No wonder he's the world's number one deadbeat. The title of King of the World should rightfully belong to Davy D. Jones, to our Davy family, right? We've been shirking our responsibilities for hundreds of years, and now you're really not going to pay it back?"

"No! That guy has never been the king of this world!!"

Im shouted excitedly, his huge and ferocious black body trembling violently. Then, his sixteen thick tentacles came together and slammed down with overwhelming force!

“Hmph!!”

Gehr reacted with lightning speed, dodging the attack in a flash. At the same time, he swung his hand back, unleashing a cold glint of light that neatly severed the incoming tentacles, sending them falling to the ground and raising dust that spread throughout the hall…

"His position was illegitimate!"

"They have tried every means to cover up the truth of history, and have gone to great lengths to erase everything related to that period of history and everyone who tries to explore the blank history, causing a serious regression in science and civilization!"

"They established order through violence, arbitrarily exploited and slaughtered, and used the resources they plundered to feed a group of stupid and corrupt privileged people!"

Gel hovered in the air, the smile on his face long gone, looking down coldly at Im.

"I must say, the actions of the World Government are becoming more and more like those of a certain dynasty, a dynasty I know of that has long since perished! And you! Are destined to follow in its footsteps!!"

"It is Mu's rule that allows this world to function properly! This is Mu's world!"

Im roared in fury.

"Stop talking nonsense! Since when did the world become yours alone?"

Ger couldn't help but retort.

The moment their eyes met, two invisible wills collided violently!

"Crack!"

The Conqueror's Haki solidified into a solid wall between the two, and the fierce clash unleashed countless black and red lightning bolts powerful enough to tear through space!
