Chapter 153 Persuasion
()(Unforgettable 9.18. Every time I read a history book, I wish I could travel back by myself, but considering the reality, I might only write a book to travel through history and get angry...)
"You're talking to your father like that?"
“…”
Long thought that he was just angry for a moment, so he quickly calmed down and could only speak out for Kap's words. After a long time, he continued to say it.
"I promised to hand over Luffy to you, and I give you his education, but you can't interfere with his choice. Yes, I was just a wanted criminal back then, and the Revolutionary Army was also hiding in the dark. For the sake of Luffy's future, I did promise to put Luffy in the Windmill Village, but what did you do? When I was a child, I threw him to others. I didn't even have a quarter of his time with him in a year, and I could only look at him from a distance. None of us elders took good care of him, so we have no right to block Luffy's dream.
To be honest, I don’t want Luffy to be a pirate. Now, unlike a few years ago, the pirates can be said to have completed its historical mission. Roger opened the door, but I want to close it. Since that is the case, I have long wanted Luffy to join the Revolutionary Army, but I respect Luffy’s choice, so I will try my best to help him.”
"Is Donghai still a place where pirates can stay? Are you trying to let him die?"
Regarding Dragon's words, Karp quickly found a loophole and attacked it. Dragon knew that Karp would say this early in the morning, so he said it without thinking about it.
"Of course not, but Luffy's team still needs to be found, so I stopped the navy here. After Luffy found some partners, I will kick him into the great route immediately."
At this time, the boss walked out, put a bucket of wine on the counter and then walked into the back. As for Liushan, he didn't plan to come out while the two were still arguing, so the atmosphere in the store became strange again. It seemed to be to soothe a little, Capo picked up the bucket of wine and started to pour it into the innermost part. Long also picked up the wine at hand and started drinking it.
"Let's talk about our situation first."
Then Long started a conversation first.
"What do we have to say?"
However, Long turned into a serious expression toward Cap's careless reaction.
"It's different now. You didn't hesitate to be kicked out of the house and joined the navy. Although my grandfather didn't want to, he didn't force you to make a choice too much. It's just that I'm different."
"Shut up! What were you talking about!"
Hearing the Dragon's words, Cap immediately jumped up like a cat with his tail stepped on, as if he was angry because of the Dragon's words.
"We are talking about things seriously, please be serious."
"Oh, what's your tone? Are you scolding me?"
"Yes, I am scolding you, and scolding you with the will of d!"
The first half of Long's words made Cap's veins burst out, but the second half immediately made Cap's sit down like a deflated ball.
"This generation of D is me! If you don't join the Navy, you will probably be able to compete with Roger for the next generation."
Karp wanted to say something, but when he spoke, he shrank back, and his whole aura also faded a little lowered. Seeing Karp's reaction, Long was secretly happy, but on the surface he still looked dead, and he didn't let Karp see anything.
"Liushan is a terrible person, and he is also a generation of m."
"I've known this a long time ago."
"For his blessing, we have now mastered the South China Sea and the North China Sea."
...
"Is there nothing wrong with you when you are silent? You must understand what I said. Many people in the clan are dissatisfied with you, especially during this period, the lightest is to fire the clan tree, the heaviest... But if you come back, there will be no problem. I can suppress those contradictions. No one can say you. I have made the decision that grandpa could not make. Now it's time for you to choose."
"Are you just forcing me?"
Karp lowered his head with pain, and his hands supported his head, as if he would fall down by accident. However, Dragon ignored all this and still looked at Karp with bright eyes.
"Father, this is the only time I have called you in these years. When you ran away from home and joined the navy, I don't blame you. I have grown up with my grandfather since I was a child. I have been working hard to become stronger and I dare not stop training even if I am injured. I wandered on the brink of life and death again and again. Finally, I defeated all my opponents to seize the position of the patriarch, and then took over the family, suppressed all the opponents, and tried every means to strengthen the power of the revolutionary army, and even captured two oceans with the help of Liushan. To be honest, I am very tired, so I hope Luffy can have a happy beginning in his life."
As Long said, he went off topic and finally mentioned Luffy, but this was more effective than simple persuasion. Long kept talking about himself, but Cap thought of Luffy and himself, and as his father, he felt guilty. Seeing Cap's shaken expression, Long continued to strike while the iron was hot.
"Father, what's the point of replacing you next? You should take this responsibility that has been escaping for decades. You should always let your son take it. Do you have the heart to bear it?"
Later, Long himself felt a little stingy, but these words must be said, while Cap suddenly picked up the barrel of wine and carried it all up and poured it into his mouth, regardless of the wine flowing from the corners of his mouth wet his clothes.
Gudu Gudu...
For a moment, the only sound of Karp pouring wine into his mouth was left. Until a small barrel of wine disappeared, Karp threw the barrel in his hand aside, and then pushed the golden mountain and poured it backwards like a jade pillar. Long couldn't let him fall to the ground like that, so he reached out to hold Karp, but what made Long embarrassed was that Karp was already asleep at this time.
That's right! Karp used his great skill and could fall asleep as he talked.
Faced with such an obviously spoiled method, Long could only cry without tears, but his heart was a little relaxed. Since Cap used this method to avoid it, it means that he was not easy to make a decision. As his father, Long knew Cap's temper very well. Doing so was almost the limit. With Cap's feelings for the Navy, it was impossible for him to abandon his identity as the Navy in a short time.
"After listening for so long, you should come out."
While holding Cap, Longtou said without looking back. When he heard his words, Liushan walked out from behind. In fact, as long as Liushan wanted to hear, he could hear the conversation between the two people even on the other side of Roger Town. However, people always had such a mentality that they could not see the heart, so Long and Cap didn't say anything. The two people had no intention of bypassing him when they talked.
"Help me and carry my father into the house first."
Liushan's face was suddenly covered with black lines. Kapu's strong physique was not easy for both of them to move. Fortunately, all this was only for ordinary people, so Kapu finally lay on the bed, and Long and Liushan also came outside again, but the two of them had no intention of talking.
"I'll leave first, after a while, I'll head to the Great Route."
