Zhutian: Countless me, join the chat group

"If you send those two, are you trying to make Loki explode?! Or are you trying to make the Titans of Elbaf lose their minds?!"

After hearing Bai Ye's words, a hint of helplessness flashed in Old John's eyes.

What was this guy thinking?!
They actually want Bai Ye to go! Wasn't that exactly what Old John was saying?!

It turned out that Bai Ye actually sent these two people!
You should know that Loki probably wants to kill Shanks right now, and those giants probably want to beat Loki to death too.

Therefore, all three parties have some grudges against each other.

"Otherwise, did you think I was the one to handle this?! I feel like I wouldn't be able to solve this problem at all!"

Bai Ye shook his head; of course, he couldn't possibly go and handle this matter himself.

As for the Elbaf incident, after I initially went there and beat up those people, I basically only managed to get them to join my side. As for the rest, that was beyond my ability to handle.

Some things must be left for them to resolve themselves.

"That's true, but aren't you afraid of things going out of control?! After all, Elbaf just joined, and if a civil war breaks out right from the start, that wouldn't be a good thing!!!"

After listening to Bai Ye's words, Old John expressed his agreement.

But I couldn't help but remind Bai Ye.

If he were to really go berserk at this point, then there would probably be a real problem.

"There won't be a civil war. Although those guys talk a big game, you just need to keep an eye on them. With Whitebeard and the others around, a fight is unlikely to break out."

Let them handle it themselves. Some things are better left to them to resolve on their own. If I get involved, the consequences will be much more troublesome!
This shouldn't be my responsibility; it's not something I need to handle!

Bai Ye was well aware that this was not something he needed to consider for himself, Elbaf, or anyone else!
After all, stepping in personally can temporarily resolve the issue.

After all, Loki had already been completely defeated.

However, I still cannot get involved in this matter at this time.

Ultimately, White Night did indeed subdue Loki, and even the entire Elbaf was subdued by him.

But what about it?!

The matter seems to have been resolved only temporarily. Some things can indeed be resolved through violence, but some things cannot be resolved by violence.

Take, for example, the story between Elbaf, Loki, and Shanks.

These are things that only the three of them truly understand, as long as they openly discuss the matter.

So even if I don't step in, this problem can still be solved.

"Fine, if that's how you think, then what else do you want?! Just say what you have to say, stop dawdling here!!!"

Old John nodded, realizing the situation at this point.

He realized that Bai Ye might have had other intentions, which was why she said that.

After all, if Bai Ye were to handle this matter, even if I didn't take action myself, I could still watch from the sidelines.

Didn't I just say that Whitebeard and the others should keep an eye on things from the sidelines?!

It seems that Byakuya's purpose is to have Whitebeard and the others watch, while he himself remains unseen!
That doesn't necessarily mean they're off to deal with something.

But haven't all the issues here already been resolved?!

In old John's mind, almost all the islands that could be transported from the New World had already been transported.

But if Byakuya were to go out now, would he go to the first half or go directly to confront the World Government?!
No! ! ! !

That's absolutely impossible!

Old John had just had this idea in his mind when it was immediately rejected.

He knew that the first part was Bai Ye saying that it wouldn't happen again.

If action is to be taken later, it will inevitably be Drag who takes the lead.

It wasn't even Bai Ye's turn to make a move.

In other words, Bai Ye can no longer recruit people in the first half of the process.

As for fighting the World Government and waging war against it, that's utter nonsense.

Just kidding.

This is already tantamount to starting a war with the World Government.

How could they possibly start a war against the World Government right now?!
Having made this judgment, Old John understood the situation perfectly.

Bai Ye probably also has something to deal with.

However, if it's different from all of these, then...
That's right!!!
Old John suddenly thought of something. It seemed that there was something in the New World that Bai Ye hadn't had time to deal with yet. So, if it was this matter, then it would be quite normal for Bai Ye to go there.

Thinking of this, after seeing Bai Ye's expression, he became even more certain of his guess.

Yes!

This must be exactly what I expected.

"Is it Beehive Island?!"

Beehive Island!
That is, the old stronghold of their Rocks Pirates. After Rocks died, they followed Byakuya and left, arriving in Wano Country.

Then the old woman and the white-bearded man left as well.

Neither of them occupied Beehive Island.

Beehive Island was subsequently occupied by the pirate godfather, Wang Zhi.

From this perspective, Wang Zhi was actually not qualified at all, if it weren't for the fact that everyone else had given up on Beehive Island.

However, judging from this, it seems that Bai Ye is about to cause trouble for Wang Zhi at this time.

Come to think of it, Wang Zhi did something unforgivable back then!
Although they weren't particularly loyal to the Rocks Pirates, they were just pirate allies.

It's just an alliance, where do all that talk of loyalty come from?

However, what Wang Zhi did did indeed disgust them.

That's why Wang Zhi didn't send anyone to look for Bai Ye and the others after they came out.

After all, we were all colleagues in the Rocks Pirates. Even if we didn't join, if we had a normal relationship, we would definitely send someone to ask us about it.

Moreover, Wang Zhi also harbored some ambitions. Faced with this situation, he was certainly unwilling to do nothing.

Therefore, Wang Zhi should have come over under normal circumstances.

But since Wang Zhi ultimately didn't come, what exactly was he thinking? Didn't they know?!

Isn't it just because they feel guilty?!
It's safe to say that Wang Zhi is probably feeling quite guilty right now.

Earlier, Old John had been wondering if White Night had forgotten about this matter.

But the fact that Bai Ye suddenly brought this up now means that he has not forgotten about it at all.

Then it's time to go and settle things with Wang Zhi.

Beehive Island over there
So many years have passed, and although Old John doesn't have a deep affection for Rocks, he was still once a member of the Rocks Pirates.

I used to be Rocks's logistics minister and did quite well in the Rocks Pirates. At least Rocks would always turn a blind eye and let me embezzle a small portion of the treasure.

In this matter, old John certainly approved of Lox.

After all, they're good to me!
However, since Bai Ye had the opportunity back then, and no one brought it up at the time, and Bai Ye didn't mention it either, Old John naturally didn't say anything either.

Looking at it now, Bai Ye has already said such things.

That means Bai Ye is prepared to represent the Rocks Pirates to resolve this grudge!?
After all, there was a considerable grudge between Bai Ye and Wang Zhi in the past. If Bai Ye were to take action now, it would inevitably be to settle that grudge.

"Of course we need to find out! What was that Wang Zhi thinking back then, that he actually betrayed us?!"

Bai Ye rubbed his chin. Back then, he had always wondered what Wang Zhi was thinking!

After all, Bai Ye joined the group halfway through, and didn't have much direct contact with Wang.

Of course, for this pirate alliance, what is the point of betrayal or not betrayal?!
Hasn't this always been the case for them?
Even though Bai Ye is now saying why he betrayed them in the first place!

When Bai Ye said those words, he actually realized that it was rather funny to say them out loud.

It seems that I was always thinking about running away at any time, and my mind was not on this at all.

Although I did not betray anyone, I have no right to say anything about it.

Old John, on the other hand, was one of the veterans of the Rocks Pirates, having sailed with Rocks from the very beginning.

There were things that Bai Ye didn't know, but Old John did, and knew them very well. So after saying that, he immediately thought of those things from back then.

"In fact, Wang Zhi has always wanted to inherit Beehive Island and the pirates on it. Although Wang Zhi joined the pirate alliance, he always wanted to take Rocks' place."

However, this guy's strength is not enough to replace him, so if you were to ask who among these people is most dissatisfied with Rocks, you might initially think it would be Shiki, Big Mom, and the others.

On the contrary, the one who has always had some ulterior motives, and has already shown them, is Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi betrayed us by kidnapping Shakky and handing her over to the World Government, but that's really no big deal for us, since even if Shakky was kidnapped...

Even those Devil Fruits were taken away by Wang Zhi. If Rocks had been calmer, none of this would have happened.

But Wang Zhi did indeed do this. That guy stole the Devil Fruit and gave it to the World Government, then kidnapped Shakky and sent her away with him, which led to the God Valley incident!!!

Old John spoke slowly.

There was a hint of disgust in his eyes towards Wang Zhi. As a pirate, he was actually quite annoying.

Or rather, although they keep saying that pirates' words cannot be trusted, etc.

In short, I will not choose to believe anyone.

However, even pirates have a sense of morality.

At the very least, if possible, I certainly wouldn't want to see anyone betray me.

Therefore, from this perspective, Old John and others actually felt more disgust towards Wang Zhi.

It was because of this guy's betrayal that this happened!
Even the Rocks Pirates themselves were not a monolithic entity.

It can be said that what happened in God Valley was something that everyone had thought about, but no one had even thought about being buried with it.

But as I said before, even though they were all prepared to run away, this matter was still a big deal for them.

But no one wants to be a traitor.

He kidnapped Shakky and handed her over to the World Government, then gave them the treasures of Beehive Island. His actions are truly beyond words.

Wang Zhi is a real traitor.

"Regarding the Valley of the Gods, the reason that guy Rocks went back was actually for his wife and children. His hometown is the Valley of the Gods."

Bai Ye spoke slowly.

Everyone thought that Rocks went back for Shakky and for the treasures of Beehive Island.

Many people are unaware that Rocks had a son.

Everyone initially thought that Rocks liked Shakky, but then one day Rocks suddenly said that he didn't like her anymore.

While others may not have realized it, the older woman had already guessed that Rocks had a wife and children.

After all, Big Mom has been in this pirate crew for a while, so she naturally knows that sometimes, the reason why someone suddenly changes like this is actually quite simple.

So from this perspective, all that Lox did back then was save his country and his wife and children.

Even if someone is like that, Bai Ye actually thinks they're pretty good.

As for someone like Wang Zhi, Bai Ye naturally felt that if necessary, eliminating him wouldn't be a bad idea.

Initially, for the sake of the plan, no action was taken against Wang Zhi, but now that the World Government is about to be targeted, Wang Zhi must be eliminated.

Wang Zhi, in the end, is a ticking time bomb.

If this guy can betray once, then he can betray a second time.

Just like the situation with Lox back then, although there is no alliance or anything like that between him and Wang Zhi now.

However, the possibility of Wang Zhi taking action against himself is not nonexistent.

Ultimately, if they didn't take action against Wang Zhi, and the World Government and Wang Zhi continued to cooperate, and he brought pirates from Beehive Island to encircle them, then they had already guessed what would happen.

Why give the other party another chance?!
Killing Wang Zhi would be a way of repaying the debt of gratitude owed to Lox.

At least they taught me back then. (End of Chapter)
