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

"My dreams aren't limited to just these few. So, you came out here just to fight for this?"

Whitebeard was somewhat surprised, having previously thought that Byakuya didn't care about these things at all.

Back when he was with the Rocks Pirates, Byakuya's personality showed that he didn't care about becoming the Pirate King at all.

With the growing popularity of One Piece, the four red Road Pieces and the One Piece have become coveted items among pirates, and becoming the Pirate King is something that almost 99% of pirates desire.

"I'm not that bored. The so-called Pirate King is just an empty title, something the World Government put up!"

Bai Ye curled his lip and said with some disdain.

What's so good about One Piece?

In Bai Ye's view, it was just a title.

Moreover, this incident occurred some time after Byakuya massacred the Celestial Dragons.

After the World Government cleared up many unfavorable comments, One Piece, the four red Poneglyphs, and One Piece appeared.

Although it exists in the anime, it seems like it was deliberately released by the World Government.

Moreover, judging from the anime, this is most likely a conspiracy by the World Government.

They spread the news of the Pirate King and then let the pirates fight each other to weaken their strength.

At the same time, the fighting among pirates will inevitably lead to chaos in the world. So, should we join the World Government's member states at this time?

Isn't this just making money off the Celestial Dragons?

No money?

I'm sorry!

I won't protect you; you'll have to figure it out yourself!

It's also possible that the impact of God Valley made the World Government realize that pirates were too strong and needed to be weakened.

Therefore, under the guidance of the World Government, One Piece came into being.

To the World Government, it's just an empty title. They'll just have to hunt down a Pirate King when one actually appears. After all, they don't care about any Pirate King at all. In fact, a Pirate King has appeared in this historical context.

They allow the Pirate King, but they absolutely will not allow Nika to appear!

As long as it's not Nika, the World Government has nothing to fear.

In the end, it was just that they messed things up themselves.

Their initial plan was to weaken the pirates, but they didn't expect that Roger's surrender would directly start the Great Pirate Era with his own life. The rampage of the era made it difficult for them to suppress the pirates for a time.

Who could have imagined that Roger, who had just become the Pirate King, would choose to end his life in this way?

It can only be said that Roger concealed his terminal illness very well; otherwise, the World Government would never have given him this opportunity.

Originally, the intention was to use Roger's death to strike at the pirates, but unexpectedly, it made Roger a star.

"Looks like you know something!"

Whitebeard took a big gulp of wine, somewhat surprised that Bai Ye even knew this.

Every great pirate who has reached this point knows that the World Government has been pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Back when the Rocks Pirates still existed, there was no such thing as a Pirate King.

At that time, Rocks was the de facto Pirate King!

The people fighting for supremacy now are either his crew or those he drove out of the New World.

"Father, is there some secret hidden here?"

Marco asked curiously, though he felt it wasn't a good idea to interrupt their conversation, but he couldn't resist his curiosity.

Do they know something that is unknown to others?

"It's just that One Piece isn't anything special."

"."

So it seems like they didn't say anything at all, Marco thought to himself, speechless.

"Oh, by the way, I have some news for you. Those two are about to have their final battle. If you want to go and watch, you can go and join in the fun!"

Whitebeard glanced in one direction and said calmly, "Who in the New World doesn't know that Shiki is preparing to invite Roger to join his pirate crew one last time?"

This time, however, will be the last. If Roger refuses, then he will launch an attack on Roger.

Currently, the only one vying with him for the title of Pirate King is Roger. Since Whitebeard is not involved, Shiki will naturally set his sights on Roger. If Roger chooses to cooperate with him, that would be ideal.

If he wants to replicate the Rocks Pirates of yesteryear, then Roger is essential.

"If those two win, there should be a Pirate King."

Whitebeard sighed, "Right now, only two people in the New World have a chance, and since Byakuya isn't interested, it's between the two of them."

"So, who would you rather become the Pirate King?"

Bai Ye posed a trap question, one involving an old teammate and the other a good friend. For a moment, Bai Ye was taken aback by Bai Ye's question.

He immediately realized what was happening and laughed, "You bastard, you really don't shy away from trouble. But if I really had to choose, I'd still pick Roger, that bastard. If it were Shiki, he'd probably turn the whole world upside down."

He actually preferred Roger to the Golden Lion.

The world was already in chaos before that guy, Golden Lion, even became the Pirate King.

He couldn't even imagine what would happen if Shiki became the Pirate King; he'd probably be even more incredible then.

"But it seems the old lion has a better chance of winning!"

In naval battles, Shiki actually had a very high chance of winning against Roger.

If it weren't for that unusual weather, Roger would have died at the Battle of Eidol.

"Yeah, Roger was basically doomed to lose when he ran into that bastard Shiki!"

Whitebeard agreed with this point, even though he himself hoped Roger would win.

To be honest, this guy really had a blind friendship with Roger.

Bai Ye thought to himself, but then he realized that the world of One Piece was indeed like that. In fact, Roger only really stirred up the whole world after becoming the Pirate King.

Aren't you going over there?

Bai Ye asked curiously, and it seemed that Whitebeard was not planning to go over. After glancing at Marco and the others, Bai Ye suddenly understood. It seemed that he was going to protect these guys!

"Hey, what kind of look is that?"

"What an interesting choice! It would be a real shame to miss the legendary pirate battle!"

Bai Ye shook his head and looked away, but after hearing Bai Ye's words, Whitebeard was indeed somewhat tempted.

He's not old yet. He's not the old white-bearded man who used to stay in his territory and rarely left. What he cares about most is his children, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to go.

Knowing the danger involved, he was unwilling to go; he could endure it himself, but his sons could not.

"Are you going over there?"

"Let's go over there; after all, it's been a long time since we've seen that old lion."

Of course, I have to go to White Night; this place will change the life of Golden Lion.

Isn't this a great opportunity to get a reward?

"How could I be left out? Marco will get these guys together and then set sail!"

A smile flashed in Bai Ye's eyes as he listened to Whitebeard's words. In fact, he had no idea exactly where the Golden Lion and his men were fighting.

Without a pointer, he wouldn't know the direction at all, so if Whitebeard didn't go, he would still need to spend time searching everywhere. But if Whitebeard went, then there would naturally be no need for all this trouble!

"It's Dad!!!"

Marco was also quite excited; it would be such a shame not to be able to participate in such a major event.

Even Blackbeard couldn't hide his composure. He was still just a child. Even if he had ambitions, he couldn't help but feel regretful if he didn't witness this war, a war that could change the landscape of pirates, even if he didn't participate.

"Roger, now give me your answer: join me or die here!!"

Ait Wol Sea.

The Golden Lion Fleet surrounded the Roger Pirates, and the gloomy weather added to the oppressive atmosphere for everyone.

"This is really troublesome!"

Roger's face showed a hint of discomfort. This guy, Golden Lion, was really like a leech; he couldn't get rid of him no matter how hard he tried!

Didn't they already reject me before?

"Captain, this time it really can't be avoided!"

A slight smile flickered across Rayleigh's lips; it seemed even Golden Lion couldn't wait any longer.

That makes sense. They are currently one of the strongest forces in the New World, and to become the Pirate King, they must deal with the enemy, whether by annexing them or eliminating them.

"There's nothing I can do, it's One Piece!"

Jabba shrugged. Which pirate doesn't want to be the Pirate King these days?

"Roger, join me as my second-in-command, and together we'll rule the world!!"

Golden Lion's current thought is very simple: to rule the world. Roger's addition will surely make him have no rivals in the New World, and he will no longer be afraid of that bastard Whitebeard!

The golden lion flying in the air had a cigar in its mouth and its eyes were full of arrogance. At this moment, it was full of pride and high spirits.

Pirate Admiral, one of the three legendary pirates of the New World, and also the leader of the largest pirate crew, the Flying Pirates. With so many titles, some newspapers have already slated him for the title of Pirate King.

In Shiki's view, inviting Roger to join his pirate crew was a sure thing that could not fail.

I've already taken care of everything myself.

Roger wouldn't want to run unless he wanted to die.

Excuse me!

With his own Devil Fruit ability, if they met at sea, he wouldn't have a chance to escape!

"I reject!"

Roger smirked and declined the Golden Lion's invitation once again.

This caused Shiki to lose his patience. Looking at Roger, Shiki snorted coldly, then waved his hand and commanded, "Go! Destroy the Roger Pirates!"
