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

"So you're going out to stir up trouble too?"

Captain John's eyes gleamed, and his expression seemed to say, "I saw right through you."

Captain John didn't believe that Byakuya would stay in Wano Country forever, given this opportunity to join in the fun.

"Yeah, Whitebeard and Shiki, those two bastards, are both fine, so why can't I?"

As the Navy's most wanted criminal, he has now disappeared from public view, which has aroused much speculation.

Some say he was captured long ago and imprisoned in the sixth level of Impel Down; others say he was torn to pieces by the Celestial Dragons because of what he did; still others say he was too afraid to show himself.

Regardless of the speculation, Bai Ye is destined for a bad end, and he can't tolerate that!

"That's true. Everyone's been chasing after the so-called Pirate King to reach the final island lately. It's completely different from when we were here!"

Back then, under Rocks' leadership, they fought against the Celestial Dragons, but now every pirate wants to become the Pirate King, Captain John reminisced.

"Isn't the fighting between pirates something that the World Government bastards have been deliberately orchestrating all along?"

In recent years, there have likely been more than one One Piece story or announcements of red Poneglyphs.

What the World Government needs is chaos in the world. In addition, given the previous massacre of the Celestial Dragons by Byakuya, they have also begun to consider eliminating a group of powerful pirates.

As pirates continue to set sail, the number of people joining the Navy is far outpaced, making it difficult for them to control the first half of the Grand Line.

"They've been manipulating the world all along, but unfortunately, we can only play within those rules!"

Captain John took a sip of his drink and spoke with cloudy eyes.

They are not the rule-makers, but merely players, so they must follow the established rules.

Do you mean they don't know?

In reality, everyone knows that it's just exploiting the pirates' greed to control them in their battles and to control the entire world.

"Rules are meant to be broken, Old John, so I'm counting on you here. If I don't get out of here soon, the world will forget about me!"

Chapter 172 Shocks the Entire Whitebeard Pirates: The Clash of White Night and Whitebeard's Overpowering Force!

"Young people are just different."

John chugs down his liquor, a touch of melancholy creeping into his heart.

It seems that this captain is more ambitious, but at my age, I don't know how long I can stay with him.

I really want to see the era he was talking about!

The bitter wine went down my throat and my heart ached; I suddenly felt like I was born in the wrong era.

"Captain, may I sail with you?"

Tengetsu leaned close to Shiro and asked timidly.

She had given up on time travel. Over the years, she felt she had fallen far behind the world. She wanted to go out with Byakuya and see the world beyond Wano Country.

"If you come out with me, you'll be in great danger later."

If Toki Amatsuki were to go out with him, he would inevitably be put on a wanted list and subsequently targeted by the World Government.

He was no ordinary pirate now; he had offended the World Government very badly.

Once Tianyue is on the wanted list, she will no longer be able to go to sea. If she wants to go to sea, she must improve her strength and stay by their side.

"Huh? Is it dangerous outside?"

"No, I'm a wanted criminal."

As Bai Ye spoke, he saw Tian Yueshi's expression change several times before finally settling on surprise.

Is he a wanted criminal?

Why is Nika a wanted criminal?

"After Nika's defeat, the World Government was established, and anyone who disobeyed the World Government was wanted by them."

Bai Ye offered an explanation.

She was in Wano Country, and given that there were probably no wanted posters in her time, or even if there were, they wouldn't have entered Wano Country, so it's normal that she didn't know about them.

"I see."

It's normal for Nika to have a bounty on his head. He himself inherited Nika's will and also wanted to liberate the world. Just as Bai Ye said, after Joy Boy was defeated, the Great Kingdom collapsed, and it was only natural that people like them would have bounties on their heads.

"I still want to go out and see the world with the captain."

Even with a bounty on her head, she still wanted to go out and see the world. She didn't want to stay in Wano Country forever. In fact, after Byakuya persuaded her to stay in this era, she had a restless desire to go out and explore.

The longer she stayed here, the more she wanted to see the world beyond Wano Country. But she was also very sensible; she wouldn't bring it up unless Byakuya mentioned it. And since Byakuya had decided to go out this time, she naturally wanted to go with him.

"Okay, you guys can cultivate here."

After Baiye agreed to Tianyue's request, the other two were also eager to go out. Besides Da Xiong, Ginny and Ivankov also wanted to go out.

They had been in Wano Country for a long time, and they were so looking forward to Byakuya going out that they didn't want to go with him.

However, after Bai Ye told them to stay here to cultivate, the two of them immediately looked miserable.

"You don't want to be hunted down by the World Government when you go out, do you? It's up to you whether you come with me now or go out on your own when you have the strength!"

Bai Ye's words make a lot of sense. In fact, they hadn't thought that much about it before. Tian Yue Shi didn't know, but how could they not know?

As witnesses to the events of God Valley, they knew very well what Byakuya had done.

Once you follow Bai Ye, you'll be labeled and hunted down on the same level as him.

"But Captain, are you not planning to work with us anymore?"

Ginny was the smartest; she actually guessed that Bai Ye wasn't planning to be with them now. But if that's the case, does that mean they'll never act together again?

“At least for now, staying with me is very disadvantageous for you, and I have my own plans, so you should not get involved with me for the time being.”

"Ok, I see!"

Ginny's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood Bai Ye's thoughts.

"Then I'm leaving. You all should cultivate diligently. I will leave a shadow clone here to watch over you."

demon

They originally thought that even if Bai Ye didn't take them away, he could at least take a break for a while, since Old John didn't care what they did. But Bai Ye leaving behind a shadow clone was a different story.

"Ginny, why won't the captain let us come along?"

After Bai Ye left, Ivankov pulled Ginny aside and asked in a low voice.

"Because the captain has his own plans, and we are too weak to develop our power, we can't get involved with the captain for the time being."

Ginny explained.

It's simply that they are still too weak; Bai Ye is just protecting them.

Ginny was quite touched by this, because at least since God Valley, Byakuya had always taken good care of them. Byakuya saved the lives of the three of them, and Byakuya also gave Kuma his Paw-Paw Fruit and her own Hurricane-Hurricane Fruit.

The Whitebeard Pirates of the New World.

"Gulp gulp gulp, go and bring out all my best wine!!"

"Is Dad hosting a banquet today?"

Marco looked at Whitebeard with a puzzled expression. Didn't they just say yesterday that there wasn't enough food on the ship and that they wouldn't be holding any banquets for a while?

"Just take it out!! Marco, get the hell out of my way!!"

Whitebeard let out a low shout, then grabbed the Murakumogiri sword that was beside him and slashed it towards the sky.

At the same time, a figure descended from the sky at an extremely fast speed, under the watchful eyes of Marco and the others.

boom!

The two sides' Conqueror's Haki intertwined in the air, bursting out streaks of purple-black lightning. Many people around were knocked unconscious by the collision of their Conqueror's Haki. Watching his sons fall one by one, Whitebeard didn't care. Instead, his smile widened.

"Gurarararar, you bastard, I thought you'd been kidnapped by those guys from the World Government!"

"Whitebeard, you'll get arrested, but I won't!"

Bai Ye laughed and cursed, while simultaneously increasing the force in his hand and raising his Conqueror's Haki to its strongest level.

Tianyue, who was in Baiye's arms, was so frightened that her face turned pale, and then she fainted.

"You little brat!!"

Whitebeard glanced behind him; his sons were mostly unconscious. A flash of anger crossed his mind, but at the same time, he also had the idea of ​​giving his sons special training.

Even Conqueror's Haki can't withstand it?

Only Marco, Joz, and Vista can hold on, but even the three of them are struggling to stay afloat.

"Forget it, I didn't come here to fight you."

After Bai Ye finished speaking, he sheathed his blade. Once his Conqueror's Haki disappeared, the pressure that had been weighing on Marco and the others vanished instantly, allowing the three to breathe a sigh of relief while keeping a wary eye on Bai Ye.

This guy.

They weren't unaware that this was Conqueror's Haki; the people around them were simply experiencing the clash of Haki between Byakuya and Whitebeard.

"Dad?"

"Ignore this bastard!" Whitebeard glared at Bai Ye, then roared, "Bai Ye, you bastard, I should have taught you a lesson back then!"

Now his own sons are all dizzy, and this bastard just comes up here and plays around like this, huh?

good good!

Don't wait until he encounters the White Night Pirates, then you should do the same thing!

"I'm really sorry, Whitebeard!"

Back then, Whitebeard's fighting power was truly overwhelming. If he wanted to beat me up, even Rocks probably wouldn't have stopped him.

This petty old man, no, this petty middle-aged man.

"Has your dream come true?"

Bai Ye moved his lips slightly. Right now, there was a large group of people lying around, and there were quite a few familiar figures among them, even Blackbeard had already boarded the ship.
