"Dad, I don't like this."

Ares shook his head, he preferred coffee or all kinds of drinks to tea, and of course, alcohol.

"I know you don't like to drink."

Foxy still poured Ares full.

"Your grandfather once poured me such a cup of tea."

Foxy sat down, memories on his face.

Ares blinked, stunned, "I have a grandfather?" ”

"Nonsense, your dad didn't jump out of a stone, you not only have a grandfather but also a grandmother."

"That's it!"

Ares smirked, then became a little excited, "Then why haven't I seen grandpa and grandma since I was a child, and you haven't mentioned it since I was a child, dad." ”

"Because they're not in this world."

"Ahh Ares' face disappeared with excitement, and he became a little lost: "Are they dead?" ”

"I don't know, maybe it's still alive, maybe it's not there!"

Faulksi looked at the teacup with some gloom, then continued, "Do you know what this cup of tea means? ”

Foxy pulled himself together, his voice a little hoarse for some reason.

"I don't know."

"Responsibility and responsibility!"

Ares was a little distracted, and didn't quite understand what Foxy said.

"Speaking of which, your father and I were much more naughty than you when I was a child, and your grandfather also beat me at that time, but as I grew up, I don't know when your grandfather's voice became quieter, and he began to look at my face.

I still remember the first time your grandfather poured me tea, at first I thought it was just ordinary tea, but later I realized that it was a responsibility and responsibility.

It was also at that time that I found out that your grandfather was no longer young.

And some of the responsibilities should be on my shoulders.

But your father is not capable, and even often quarrels with your grandfather.

Obviously, your dad and I can't support that responsibility and responsibility, and I'm still relying on your grandfather like a bloodsucking worm.

Until now, I haven't had a chance to say sorry to your grandfather, and I've worked hard with you.

Dad grew up in a different environment than you, but the essence is the same.

You have to be ready from now on, maybe I can hold you up for a while, but in the future, this family will need you to provoke.

And there is also this empire.

The responsibilities and responsibilities you have to bear are very heavy.

You may not understand it yet, but it doesn't matter, Dad can hold on for a while.

But time is running out. ”

Faulcy pushed the teacup in front of Ares.

Ares looked at Foxy thoughtfully, then looked down at the teacup, not knowing how to speak.

I don't know why he wanted to cry, and his heart was inexplicably very sour.

He seems to understand, but he doesn't.

"I've always been very proud because you are more sensible, ambitious and responsible than my father was back then."

"In my eyes, my dad is the greatest."

Ares' voice was a little choked, and he looked up at Foxy very firmly.

"That's because of you and I'm great."

"Your father's dream before was to live, and then become stronger and have plastic surgery to live a ** life, three wives and four concubines, and laugh at women from good families.... These are the dreams of your dad and he fought for. ”

Ares' eyes widened, his face full of astonishment.

He didn't expect that his father, whom he had been a goal and admired since childhood, would have such a dream.

"Surprised, isn't it?"

Foxy smiled, then nostalgic, "But I don't know when my dreams changed."

Maybe it's because I've experienced a lot, seen a lot, and met your two mothers, until you and your sister were born, your father and my dreams have completely changed.

In the dead of night, I often wonder what I will do if I die one day, whether I will be bullied, whether I will be unhappy, because your father has too many enemies.

I want to create a world free of danger for you.

The liberation of the world and the fact that all people can live an equal and happy life is just a means, a means to win over people, and the core purpose is still you.

Doesn't it feel selfish?

But there are no perfect people in this world, and there is no absolute kindness.

Doing what you can in a selfish situation is also a kind of kindness, even if it is not the original intention.

In your father's hometown, a great man once said that only in this way will you win over a group, suppress a group, and divide a group, and only in this way will you win and better consolidate your position.

The Utopian Empire is like that now.

Win over the lowest people in the world, feed them, give them dignity, and those hostile forces suppress and divide them.

If one day people all over the world aspire to a utopian empire to rule, the empire will be solid and you will be safer.

Don't underestimate these weak people, they are the cornerstone of the empire, and the stronger these cornerstones, the farther and stronger the empire can go.

Looking at the whole world, how many billions of these weak people are?

While there are many powerful men who can destroy a town, a kingdom, or even an island by themselves, when the whole world supports you, these people will have nothing to hide.

Valuing these vulnerable groups is one aspect, but there are two others.

That is, to gather a group of powerful subordinates, an empire is not enough to be a cornerstone, it also needs a pillar stone that can be supported.

You can coerce and induce, or you can trade sincerity.

But it's all about the last thing, which is that you have to be absolutely strong.

No matter what world you are in, the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle, and only strength is the order of everything.

I've been telling you since I was a kid, and I'm sure you understand.

In the future, when you become the emperor of utopia, these three aspects are indispensable.

The most fundamental thing is to be strong in itself, then the pillar stone, and then the cornerstone ....."

Ares listened carefully, even if he was tired of hearing it.

One said, the other listened, and before they knew it, the father and son sat in the pavilion all afternoon.

"Drink this cup of tea! From now on, you must be ready to shoulder all the responsibilities and responsibilities, you can't afford to bear it, even if you die, you must carry it.

If you can't afford it, then the empire will collapse, and your two mothers, Elise, and they will probably die as a result.

Don't be spineless like your dad because you only get one chance. ”

The tea in front of Ares was already cold, and Foxy had an apologetic look on his face.

"Why?"

Ares was puzzled, he felt that his father was explaining what was going on.

Obviously, my father is still so young, and he is not ready to provoke this huge empire, this family!

"Dad doesn't have much time left, maybe ten years, maybe five or six years, maybe he could die at any time.

I'm really sorry I can't hold up the sky for you. ”

"Dad, what are you talking about, I listen... I don't understand..."

Ares' voice trembled, thinking he had misheard.

Daddy will die at any time?

No way, it's absolutely impossible.

"Dad is hopeless."

"What the hell is going on, dad, how could you die, there are so many devil fruits in this world...."

Ares stood up suddenly, his face turning pale.

Foxy sighed and shook his head slightly, "It's useless." ”

"I don't believe it, how can it be all of a sudden.. Suddenly..."

Ares' eyes turned red all at once, and he wished he had misheard, or that his father was joking.

"Sit down first, calm down and get to know your father's hometown, which is another world, and your grandfather and grandmother, I will tell you all the answers."

Ares was so distraught that he sat down and was grabbed by Foxie's hand.

Then a huge wave of memories began to appear in Ares's mind.
