I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Similarly, if Shiki knew that the Devil Fruit he wanted was the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, then Shiki would never give it to him.

Golden Lion is an absolute schemer. In pirate crews, especially pirates like the Rocks Pirates who are gathered together for profit, there is not much trust. Not every pirate crew is like the Straw Hat Pirates. Even the Whitebeard Pirates had a traitor like Blackbeard.

"Well, then you'll have to go to the Grand Line or the Western Summit. One is the rising sea current, and the other is the sky above the Western Sea. You can get up there through the giant tree, but it's guarded by giants, so getting up there might not be that easy!"

Captain John told White Night a few ways to get up there, but he still suggested going to find the Golden Lion.

Because Shiki's abilities are so convenient, as long as Shiki helps, Byakuya can easily go to the Sky Island if he wants.

Of course, if Bai Ye is not willing, then he won't say anything.

After listening to John's advice, Bai Ye fell into deep thought.

One is in the West Blue, and the other is in the Grand Line. It seems that both require too much time to return, and it's impossible for them to return in just over a month. It seems that the only option is to ask Shiki for help.

"Alright, it seems we have no choice but to go find the Golden Lion."

Bai Ye sighed. It seemed he had no choice but to go. This time, he would probably owe Golden Lion a favor.

However, he could simply ask Shiki to drop him onto a sky island. He could then find it himself and return once he obtained the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Alternatively, he could ask Shiki to wait for him, and if Bika didn't have the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he could return with Shiki.

and many more! ?

Bai Ye thought of someone else, then turned to Captain John and asked, "Are there giant trees in the New World too?"

The giant tree is the Adam Tree, guarded by different races of giants. Bai Ye felt that these trees most likely led to the Sky Island, and the way to get there was to climb!

Climb all the way up!

Unless you have an exaggerated physical strength like Kaido, falling halfway down the mountain will almost certainly mean certain death.

According to the original story, after Luffy and his crew left Skypiea, Bellamy also went up there. However, he did not take the route of the rising sea current, but instead went to the Western Summit. The so-called Western Summit is to climb up from the bottom of a giant tree. This is why Bellamy said that most of his underlings died, because they all died on the way up the tree.

"Hey, you don't really want to try this, do you?"

Captain John was somewhat bewildered when he saw that Bai Ye seemed to be taking it seriously.

That's a very high mortality rate!

"Of course, I'll treat it as training. If I can't even do this, how can I keep my position as captain?"

"Are you serious?"

"Reliable!"

Bai Ye nodded. He needed to climb up; there simply wasn't enough time.

The only options are to climb the giant tree in the new world or find the Golden Lion, but Bai Ye doesn't want to owe the Golden Lion a favor.

Once he owes him a favor, he might have to help deal with Roger in the future. At present, Bai Ye doesn't want to have another enemy. Besides, Roger and the others have no conflict of interest with him. He just needs to wait for Roger to die.

Neither the current Rocks, nor the three legendary pirates Roger, Shiki, and Whitebeard, are at his current level of strength to rival.

Byakuya's plan is to survive in the future and then start his own era in the Four Emperors era, because no matter how much he does stupid things at this time, it will be useless, since Poseidon has not yet been born.

Moreover, if you think of asking others for help every time you have a problem, then what the hell are you doing here?

He's not the type to ask for help whenever he encounters a problem!

Rely on yourself for everything you can; you are still yourself in all the myriad worlds!

"Okay, I can take you there right now using the super-fast boat."

"Can those giants let us up?"

"What a joke! I'm from the Rocks Pirates, and you won't let us go up? In this world, power and connections matter. Don't you know which giant race we belong to?"

In the entire New World, who dares to challenge the Rocks Pirates now?

Even giants wouldn't dare!

So you're some kind of pirate gangster, huh?

However, Bai Ye thought about it and it made sense. It wasn't the era of the Four Emperors ruling the New World yet. Big Mom was also trying to win over the Giants, but now the Giants weren't really someone Rocks needed to win over.

The king of the New World is now the Rocks Pirates, who have gathered so many monsters that even giants who offend them will be wiped out.

"Okay, let's set off now!"

After saying that, Bai Ye and Captain John set off together. When they arrived at the giant tree guarded by the giants, Bai Ye looked at the towering tree that seemed to reach into the sky and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes. He then turned to Captain John and said, "I'm starting to climb. John, you can leave if you want."

"Damn it! I'll watch you fall from the sky even if I have to, how can you just leave like that!"

You son of a bitch.

Is this a deliberate curse?

A dark line flashed in Bai Ye's eyes. He then glanced at John, then at the giant beside him who dared not speak out in anger, and began to climb up.

According to the giants, the tree is 10,000 meters tall and can reach the White Sea with island clouds. The tree on the sky island in the New World is the strongest because the New World's changeable weather affects even those at high altitudes.

Although Bai Ye felt a little tired during the first three thousand meters, there weren't many problems. Since coming to the pirate world, his physical strength has become extremely strong.

Upon reaching 6,000 meters, Bai Ye felt that every step he took was extremely difficult. His hands trembled uncontrollably, the air grew thinner, and it felt as if a powerful gravity was pressing him back to the ground.

At 9,500 meters, a lightning serpent, hovering in the clouds, was scratching at Bai Ye's body.

Bai Baihai was right in front of her, but Bai Ye felt her consciousness blurring and her strength decreasing, and a sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously.

There seemed to be a voice in my head telling me that I had reached my limit and could give up. I didn't need to go any higher; I couldn't go any higher!

Bai Ye clenched his fist tightly, gritting his teeth: "I'm going to be the Pirate King! Victory is right in front of me, and you're telling me to give up?!"

Click, click, click! Several obvious finger marks were clearly imprinted on the precious tree's Adam!

Bai Ye felt as if he had broken through some kind of limitation; his dizzy mind became clearer, and a fierce aura suddenly emanated from him!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 24 The Whereabouts of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit! (Please continue reading!)

This is! ?

Overlord color and domineering?

Bai Ye sensed an indescribable aura.

He actually awakened Conqueror's Haki at this moment.

Although it's become an overused ability later on, it's essentially an entry ticket. Only by possessing Conqueror's Haki can you enter the high-end combat power club. After all, how can you train Conqueror's Haki Entanglement without it?

If one were to cultivate to the level of Shanks' Conqueror's Haki later on, he could make Green Bull a disgrace to the Admirals from 800 miles away.

【Pirate - Ada D. Byakuya】(Affiliation: Rocks Pirates)

[Strength]: Lieutenant General

[Abilities]: Intermediate Observation Haki, Intermediate Armament Haki, Basic Conqueror's Haki, Sword Master's Iron Cutting.

His rank has risen from major general to lieutenant general?!

Bai Ye's strength had always been stuck at the peak of Major General. The awakening of Conqueror's Haki was not only about his spirit, but also about the Armament Haki enhanced by Conqueror's Haki. The intensity of it was on a completely different level.

Moreover, while climbing the tree, he felt that his physical condition had been greatly improved.

Naruto Byakuya: [Dude, you're amazing! You've even awakened Conqueror's Haki!]

Yokai Byakuya: [I knew you could do it. Actually, even if you had fallen, you wouldn't have been hurt. You could have just used my ability to fly down.]

Pirate Byakuya: [I freaking forgot.]

He had really forgotten that this thing could fly.

Fortunately, he forgot about it; otherwise, it seems that his awakening of Conqueror's Haki would have been delayed or even impossible.

Looking at the last 500 meters ahead, Bai Ye felt full of energy. In one go, he climbed directly onto the White Sea.

"Intruder?"

"It looks like this guy climbed up here."

The moment Bai Ye landed on the island, he was surrounded by a group of sky island soldiers.

For people coming from Qinghai, the policies followed in different parts of the Sky Island are different.

Like the Sky Island ruled by Enel in the story, because of Enel's policies, it is not particularly friendly to people from below, unless they pay money.

Where is Bika?

"?"

Not a buddy?

Did you hear what they were saying?

Just as one of the soldiers was about to say something, another older soldier quickly pulled him back and gave him a look, signaling him not to make any rash moves.

This guy climbed up here!

Moreover, without exception, everyone who climbs up from below is a master.

They are not to be trifled with. Compared to those who have climbed up by trickery, the people on the Sky Island who have managed to climb up from below naturally understand the ways of the world.

“Bika is not far from here. If you want to go to Bika, we can help you get there, but you will need to pay some transportation fees.”

The older soldiers glanced nervously at Bai Ye. In fact, each of the sky islands knew their location and how to get there.

It's true that some people will do things for money, but some people are unwilling to pay but still want the service. He was a little afraid that Bai Ye was that kind of person. So if the other party was unwilling, he would test the other party's strength first. If the other party was very strong, he would immediately back down and lead the way.

The reason he's been able to live so comfortably for so many years while on duty on the Sky Island is entirely due to his lack of loyalty, cowardice, and his sister-in-law.

"Sure, as long as you take me to Bika!"

Bai Ye has plenty of money; he'd give it all to them as long as they could take him to Bika.

Right now, Bai Ye only has one thought in his mind: to get the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, the older soldiers instantly relaxed, and the younger soldiers beside them went from being annoyed at first to being all smiles.

With some gold, Bai Ye obtained a ship powered by a wind-blown shell and Bica's pointer from the soldiers.

Heading towards Bika, Bai Ye soon arrived at Bika, but upon arrival, he encountered a problem.

He didn't know where Enel had found it.

Moreover, Enel hadn't even been born yet at this time.
