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

Speaking of which, the prototype of the Whitebeard Pirates has already been formed, but is Kozuki Oden missing from this timeline?

After arriving in Wano Country, Byakuya did not see Oden. Later, according to the surveillance footage, it was discovered that Oden had run away because of their invasion that day. Now it seems that after the plot changed, Oden has not joined the Whitebeard Pirates, and it is unknown whether he will join in the future.

"Bai Ye, these are all my sons!"

Whitebeard nodded, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

He finally realized his dream of having a family, all of whom were orphans who had experienced the war. They were willing to board the ship and call him "Dad," and he was willing to shelter them.

"Son, I told you long ago that you and your aunt would have children together, and now you have even more. By the way, how many children has your aunt had so far?"

Although Byakuya had just come from Wano Country, he had already heard many rumors about Big Mom.

Speaking of which, this auntie is really prolific, like a sow. Her children are quite good-looking, and her business is booming.

At this time, there are still many people who want to have children with older women. After all, older women nowadays are quite attractive. If it were an older woman from the beginning of an anime storyline, a group of people would probably find it disgusting.

"Don't mention that crazy woman! It's bad luck!"

A hint of disgust flashed across Whitebeard's face, and Marco, standing beside him, couldn't help but interject, "She asked Old Man to have her child back then, but Old Man didn't agree!"

He noticed that Bai Ye and Bai Hu seemed to know each other, so he stopped being wary.

Is he in the same pirate crew as his father?

He also knew that his father had been in another pirate crew, and Charlotte Linlin, who had come to find his father before, was also from that pirate crew.

"Tch, no matter what, Charlotte Linlin is still a beauty. You can just have your fun and run away. Don't you understand the principle of not letting good girls down and not wasting bad girls?!"

Bai Ye muttered to himself, "Don't you even understand this basic principle?"

You deserve to have your feelings deceived by Miss Bakin.

Holy crap!! That's awesome!!

This was the first time Marco had heard of such a theory, and it had a profound impact on his values ​​and beliefs.

It turns out that rejecting Charlotte Linlin was her own father's fault?

"Bai Ye, you bastard, why aren't you going? I remember that woman Charlotte Lingling seems to be quite interested in you, right?"

Whitebeard retorted that he wasn't that shameless, and he certainly didn't want Charlotte Linlin to have a child with him.

He strongly disapproved of Charlotte Linlin's approach of giving birth to her own child and then forming a pirate crew.

But that's their own business, and he can't interfere, but he can control himself.

Besides, Charlotte Linlin wasn't only interested in herself; wasn't she also very interested in Bai Ye back then?

Why not during the day and night?

You said you shouldn't let down good girls, and you shouldn't waste bad girls!

"We're not a good match!"

Bai Ye shrugged, comparing his height to Charlotte Linlin's.

However, Bai Ye was thinking, "Aren't there still the little people? As expected of you, Charlotte Linlin."

So you like this kind of thing?

Whitebeard glanced at Tenzuki, who was being held in Byakuya's arms and had fainted from the Conqueror's Haki he had used earlier.

Could this thing have been kidnapped from somewhere?

But back when he was in the Rocks Pirates, this guy was completely unmoved by any advances. He genuinely never considered other women even if they approached him.

After he managed to retain his position as captain, many women on the ship wanted to find Bai Ye to be their backer.

During the Rocks Pirates era, the female pirates on board were very pragmatic. If you didn't have any strength, no one would follow you. If you had strength and status, then even if you were ugly, people would still follow you.

“This is one of my crew members; I just happened to bring her along this time.”

"You dare to bring other people out here when you're being hunted down by the World Government like this!"

Whitebeard pursed his lips but didn't continue talking about that matter.

Although Bai Ye has been missing for so long, once he reappears, he will definitely be hunted down by the World Government with all its might.

Over the years, the World Government has been working to erase the impact of Byakuya's killing of the Celestial Dragons. The matter of God Valley has been gradually buried by the World Government, just like it was 800 years ago. No one dares to mention it; it is a taboo.

"I remember now, you're Bai Ye, the one who was on the same ship as Dad back then, the guy who killed the Celestial Dragons back in God Valley!"

Marco had always felt that he had seen Bai Ye somewhere before.

He had been thinking about it, and now he finally remembered: wasn't this the guy who used to be known as the Celestial Dragon Killer?

He was young then, but he remembered Bai Ye perfectly.

"Your reaction time is really quite long!"

A dark line flashed in Bai Ye's eyes. The moment he turned to look at Marco, his gaze also unconsciously fell on Blackbeard.

This guy might turn against us in the future. I'm reminding Whitebeard now: if we can get rid of Blackbeard, will it trigger a chain reaction?

However, Bai Ye only thought about it and eventually gave up. First of all, Whitebeard would never listen to him. Whitebeard had already joined the crew. Would he drive Blackbeard away because of what he said?

Secondly, how can I present this with a reasonable explanation?

If I said I knew the future, Whitebeard would probably think I was a fool.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing staring at my son?"

Whitebeard was instantly enraged when he noticed White Night's gaze. Could this guy be plotting against his own son?

Blackbeard was also a little confused at this moment, wondering how he had caught this guy's attention.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 173 Bury Me Here, Roger, Battle of Etwal!

"I just felt that this guy was a bit strange."

When Whitebeard asked him a question, Bai Ye shook his head, looked away, and didn't look at Blackbeard again.

Blackbeard at this point is not enough to attract Byakuya's attention, even after he obtains the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Dark-Dark Fruit.

There are many rumors about Blackbeard. Some say he ate the Octopus Fruit, since his features are like an octopus. Others say he has a special constitution with three souls inside his body, so he doesn't need to sleep.

But no matter how you look at it, Blackbeard's special physique is no longer a problem for Bai Ye, since he has it too.

Blackbeard's unease eased somewhat the moment Byakuya withdrew his gaze.

In that instant, he felt as if Bai Ye had seen right through him.

He joined the Whitebeard Pirates in secret, specifically for the Devil Fruit. If he could find the Dark-Dark Fruit, he would leave the Blackbeard Pirates to realize his ambitions; otherwise, he would stay with the Whitebeard Pirates for the rest of his life.

Without that fruit, he would just be a pirate without any ambition.

"Strange? Don't even think about messing with my son!"

Although I don't know why Bai Ye noticed Teach.

However, Whitebeard believed that he would absolutely not allow Byakuya to take people off the ship!

Since he is his own son, there is no question of him getting off the ship.

"Tch, acting like it's some kind of treasure."

Bai Ye curled his lip; he had absolutely no interest in Whitebeard's sons.

"Too much pampering will only prevent them from growing up, Whitebeard."

Judging from his attitude, he already treats these children as treasures and has been protecting them.

Actually, among these people, Jozu, Marco, and Vista are all very talented, as is Ace, who joined the pirate crew later.

Ultimately, he was simply rendered useless by Whitebeard.

He is truly exceptional in his treatment of his children; one could say that even without Big Mom as a comparison, he is the best father in the One Piece world.

What kind of people are the fathers of One Piece?

After giving birth, he would embark on adventures, claiming that no one could stop a man from going to sea, and then abandon his wife and children to go on adventures at sea, completely disregarding what would happen to them.

Whitebeard was very responsible; at least within his pirate crew, he did his best to protect them.

However, sometimes excessive protection can ruin the Whitebeard Pirates, who originally had great potential.

Whitebeard was both his strength and his weakness.

Mar is a sci-fi beast. Jozu was able to exchange a few blows with Aokiji at the top of the sea, Vista with his flower sword could block Hawkeye's slash, and Ace defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea right after his debut.

It's fair to say that these four people could have grown much stronger, but we haven't seen them use Haki much, and their physical skills are terrible. Perhaps it's because Whitebeard protected them too well.

"Tch, I don't need you to teach me!"

You're a bachelor and you're trying to lecture me?

Whitebeard wouldn't listen to that, especially when it came to children; he had his own way of doing things.

"Whatever you want!"

Since it's not his own son, Bai Ye wouldn't meddle in other people's business.

Taking the sake jar from Marco, Byakuya placed Amatsuki Toki beside him, then raised his sake cup and clinked it against Whitebeard's enormous sake cup.

As the two drank, they reminisced about the past. As they talked, a shrewd glint flashed in the white-bearded man's cloudy eyes as he asked, "Have you decided to participate in the struggle for supremacy this time?"

The struggle for supremacy in the new world has now reached a fever pitch.

After Rocks's fall, Golden Lion quickly recruited soldiers in the New World, while Roger took the elite route. The two sides had been vying for power in the New World for a long time.

There is also the Big Mom Pirates, but they are much weaker than the other two. However, Big Mom has been looking for an opportunity to form a marriage alliance with the giants. Once she forms a marriage alliance with the giants of Elbaf, Big Mom will not take any of the current pirate crews seriously.

Wang Zhi returned to Beehive Island. Kaido and John also disappeared along with Bai Ye. Whitebeard was unaware of their exact whereabouts, but had heard little about them since that incident. He had heard of Kaido before.

The appearance of the White Night coincided precisely with the climax of the battle between the Golden Lion and Roger.

"You're not going to compete for supremacy?"

Although I already knew that Whitebeard had no interest in this.

Most people in the New World now want to join forces with Shiki, Whitebeard, and Roger.

However, for their respective reasons, the latter two were not really needed, so most pirates followed Shiki, thus establishing the title of Admiral Shiki the Pirate.
