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

So he gave himself all the power of the Four Emperors?

Besides, everyone gave him face today, so does that mean he has all the abilities of the Four Emperors except for Whitebeard's?

"Hey! What the hell are you looking at me for?"

Whitebeard was puzzled. "Why are you staring at me instead of talking to Shiki?!"

"Nothing, just happened to run into you, want to grab a drink?"

Just right?

Didn't you come here on your own initiative?

Whitebeard was speechless for a moment, but he didn't refuse. He didn't know when he would see this old lion again.

The other end.

Roger Pirates.

Even after the naval battle was finally over, many people present were still shaken.

"Captain, which way do we go now?"

They had already traveled through the New World, and Roger had actually been diagnosed with a terminal illness before his battle with Shiki. Only Rayleigh and Jabba knew this.

"Let's go to Twin Gorges! There's still one place I haven't been to yet!"

Although he said he had basically visited all the islands he could, there was still one place Roger hadn't been to!

Raff Drew!

Roger wasn't interested in the legendary location rumored to possess the One Piece; he only wanted to see Laugh Tale, the ruins of a once-great kingdom.

But before that, he needs to find Crocus at Twin Gorges, otherwise he won't be able to continue this voyage.

Roger's recent battle with the Golden Lion made him realize that his physical condition seemed to be getting worse.

"Captain, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't worry! I'm not that fragile. Besides, we're pirates! Who doesn't want to be the Pirate King?!"

Roger's words instantly inspired everyone present.

"But before that, we need to find someone who can read historical texts!"

Roger could hear the voices emanating from the Poneglyphs, but he could not understand their contents.

If they want to go to the final island, they need to find someone who can read the Poneglyphs, which is a problem for them at least for now.

"It seems there are people in Wano Country who can decipher the Poneglyphs, and I've recently heard that some samurai from Wano Country have left!"

Roger's eyes were filled with excitement; he now felt he was getting closer and closer to the truth of the world.

Roger felt an urgent desire to understand this world, stemming from what he had seen and heard in God Valley and the words spoken by Byakuya.

So he's definitely going to become the Pirate King!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 176 At this moment, in the eyes of the Golden Lion, a radiance seemed to shine behind Bai Ye!

"After parting ways at God Valley back then, I never imagined that our next meeting would be like this."

On the Moby Dick, Golden Lion, White Night, and Whitebeard sat together in a circle.

Behind Bai Ye, Tian Yue was curiously observing the other two. When she came with Bai Ye earlier, she had fainted because of the clash of Conqueror's Haki between Bai Ye and Whitebeard.

It took him a long time to wake up. When he woke up, he saw Bai Ye and Bai Hu Zi drinking, and he was lying next to Bai Ye.

Later, when Byakuya intervened to resolve the war between Shiki and Roger, Toki learned a lot from Marco.

It turns out that the three of them all came from the same pirate crew.

Moreover, Bai Ye killed many Celestial Dragons and even made highly provocative statements to the World Government, which was in power. He was challenging the Celestial Dragons and the World Government!

This behavior further reinforced Amatsuki's perception of Nika on Byakuya.

Enemies of God!

"Old Lion, are you still planning to continue with your fleet?"

Whitebeard asked curiously.

Yes.

After the Rocks Pirates disbanded, it seems everyone became a great pirate.

It's a bit of a shame that we witnessed the destruction of the Golden Lion Fleet today.

"Of course, how could I possibly give up so easily?"

Golden Lion took a deep drag on his cigar; clearly, he was unconvinced.

Unlike in the anime, his head wasn't hit hard, so his strength wasn't affected at all. In Shiki's opinion, with his strength, he could easily recruit another group of pirates.

His ambition has not diminished.

"Tch, then you'll probably still fail!"

"You white-bearded bastard, do you want to fight me?"

I haven't even started building my own team yet.

Here, Whitebeard begins to predict that he will ultimately fail!

You freaking want me to fail, don't you?

"He's right, you simply can't manage to build up this fleet to your current size. You've already failed against some powerful pirates!"

Whitebeard's point of view is actually understandable. Shiki actually failed. If you say that your strength is not as good as Roger's or not much different from Roger's, then you lost and that's it.

But you lost by a huge margin.

"What the hell?"

The golden lion is feeling a bit tired; why does no one have any faith in him?

"So you think I'll lose?" Golden Lion suddenly realized something, then looked at Bai Ye with eager eyes and invited, "Bai Ye, let's join forces! If we join forces, we can definitely conquer the world!"

Since he couldn't handle Roger himself, Golden Lion naturally turned his attention to White Night.

Although Bai Ye was unaware of information about ancient weapons, he himself was a humanoid weapon, and his performance in the Valley of the Gods had even shocked him.

In fact, Shiki's first target for invitation was Byakuya, but Byakuya refused the first time at God Valley, and then Byakuya simply disappeared and Shiki never found him. So he had no choice but to settle for Roger instead.

Now that the main character is here, the Golden Lion naturally senses that an opportunity has come.

"Do you know what you look like now?"

"like what?"

Golden Lion asked a question instinctively, and then heard what he felt was the most disgusting thing he had ever heard in his life.

"You're like a simp who got rejected by his goddess. After suffering a major blow, he finally settles for another woman."

Damn it!

I'm actually ranked behind Roger?

So Roger is a succubus in the One Piece world, right?

Whitebeard was optimistic about Roger, Garp pursued Roger relentlessly from afar, Shiki stormed Marine Headquarters after Roger was imprisoned to save his lover, and Oden even left the Whitebeard Pirates for him.

"You're my absolute first choice!"

"Don't! Don't!"

Bai Ye waved his hands repeatedly, which made it even more terrifying.

His expression, which made him look like a ferocious beast, gave the Golden Lion an urge to hit him.

That bastard must have done it on purpose, right?

Although he was still angry, the feeling from before had dissipated considerably. This guy was still the same as before, Shiki thought with a sigh.

"Honestly, let's team up!"

"and then?"

Bai Ye didn't refuse immediately, after all, she was about to share her thoughts with Jin Shi Zi.

So if he refuses so decisively now, he might embarrass the Golden Lion, and the Golden Lion will probably refuse him later.

"And then, of course, it's about ruling the world!"

A hint of excitement flashed across the Golden Lion's face. He thought Bai Ye was interested. The white-bearded man next to him also glanced at Bai Ye. He was obviously a little surprised. Would Bai Ye really agree?

There's no reason for it.

Bai Ye seemed completely uninterested in this.

The same applies to Tengetsu. Didn't Byakuya say he wanted to liberate the world?

Why do we want to rule the world?

"So, your idea of ​​ruling the world is a new world or liberating the entire world, eliminating the World Government and the Celestial Dragons?"

Byakuya smiled as he looked at Shiki. There was a fundamental difference between the two. If it was just about ruling the New World, that would be simple. But liberating the world would require fighting against the World Government and other kingdoms under the existing system.

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Jin Shizi was stunned; clearly, he hadn't thought that far ahead.

He did indeed want to rule the world, but he didn't consider whether it was the whole world or a new world.

As he pondered, the Golden Lion's expression kept changing, because he was unwilling to admit that he actually preferred the New World to the whole world, but that was indeed the case.

Therefore, I always feel that my vision is very small in Bai Ye's eyes, and that he might not even care about my ambition?

"You know it yourself, all you really want is to become the Pirate King. But what good is becoming the Pirate King if you're still just a puppet of the World Government?"

It's nothing more than a disobedient puppet.

This Pirate King might have been intentionally created by the World Government.

"Moreover, you failed this time, and you will fail again next time. You made a mistake on a very fundamental point: quality is more important than quantity. If you had more strong members in your pirate crew this time, you could have dealt with the Roger Pirates even if you encountered this shipwreck, but you didn't."

Similarly, if you have more powerful members, your pirate crew can definitely take care of them before the shipwreck.
