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

Does the Golden Lion's fleet have any capable individuals?

It seems that apart from the Golden Lion, Bai Ye really doesn't have any impression of the others. What's the use of having so many small fry?

"It has been proven that the elite strategy does not work, or rather, the strong will not gather together!"

Golden Lion said coldly, admitting that he had failed this time. But according to Bai Ye, does the elite strategy really work?

How did the Rocks Pirates fail?

Ultimately, it all boils down to a lack of unity among the people. With so many capable individuals, if Bai Ye had intervened back then, perhaps Rocks wouldn't have even died.

So, he did consider it at first, but ultimately gave up.

Although unwilling to admit it, Golden Lion now understands that he is no match for Rocks.

"Ski, you're still limiting yourself. Back then, Captain Rocks just changed his goals. If he had followed the plan from the beginning, wouldn't we still be working together?"

Unfortunately, his ambition began to swell, but if he had acted this way from the start, everyone would have been prepared for battle.

In Bai Ye's opinion, if Rocks' only goal was to steal the treasure, then they would probably cover each other's retreat.

But what was Rocks thinking at that time?

He wanted to kill the Celestial Dragons and become the King of the World.

But they had no desire to see Rocks become the King of the World, so Rocks' defeat was inevitable.

"Heh, I get it now. You want to invite me to join your pirate crew, right?"

When Jin Shizi glanced at Tian Yue beside Bai Ye, he had previously thought she was just one of Bai Ye's women.

Now it seems that this guy is probably a member of Baiye's crew. It's likely that Baiye hasn't been lying low all these years.

“That’s right, Shiki. If you want to become the Pirate King, then there’s no need for us to be together. But if you want to become the one who liberates the world, then I can still talk to you.”

Bai Ye now has a pirate crew, but he prefers to think of himself as part of the Revolutionary Army.

Ultimately, they'll all have to confront the World Government anyway, and the pirates are going to face the Navy, which is just an organization under the World Government.

"You want to become the king of the world?"

Golden Lion scrutinized White Night with his eyes. Is this guy like Rocks?

He wasn't like this back then; his ambition has only grown over the years.

"No, I want to liberate this world. Shiki, do you remember why you became a pirate?"

Bai Ye shook his head; he had no interest in becoming the King of the World.

In the end, he posed a soul-searching question, and Golden Lion was also caught in a moment of recollection: why did he become a pirate?

"I can't go on living!"

Golden Lion said calmly, "No one's initial dream is to become a pirate. It's just that his hometown was impoverished and experiencing war back then. If he wanted to survive, he had to go to sea."

Whitebeard, standing nearby, also felt the same way, as if he too were an orphan of war.

"So you became the Pirate King, but in the end you didn't change anything. What good is being the Pirate King? It's just an empty title. But if you change the world and make it less full of war, isn't that more meaningful than being the Pirate King?"

The so-called Pirate King, isn't he still just a thief in the end?

So-called freedom mostly comes at the cost of sacrifice, and if a reasonable world is created, then the tragedies of this world will be greatly reduced.

After listening to Bai Ye's words, Tian Yue Shi's eyes sparkled. She clearly agreed with Bai Ye's point of view, just like Bai Ye had told her before that he wanted to build a country where all races were equal.

Isn't this a giant kingdom?

"So Shiki, go and think about it. Try to understand the meaning of your existence in this world. See if you want to become the Pirate King or a champion of justice!"

"You spoke with such righteous indignation!"

Golden Lion pursed his lips, but didn't say anything more. He was actually a little confused, wondering if he really needed the title of Pirate King.

He used to answer "yes" very confidently!

Because he was so proud in the past, and also had formidable strength and a huge influence, he only needed to become the Pirate King to prove that he had surpassed Captain Rocks and become the first Pirate King in history. At least he had never heard of a Pirate King before.

But now he understands that he will never become the Pirate King, and he has wasted his last chance.

Of course, he believed that if Byakuya joined forces with him, they could definitely succeed, but the other party didn't care about the so-called Pirate King at all.

Have you found the meaning of your existence in this world?

Also good

Since his fleet had been completely wiped out, he felt he could finally travel the world and see what it was like.

However, as a cruel and ruthless pirate, he would never be a savior of the world as Bai Ye thought, nor did he want to be a partner of justice!

Thinking of this, a sneer flashed across Golden Lion's face. When did he, a pirate, become a savior?

However, compared to those Celestial Dragons, I do seem to be worthy of the title, don't I?

"By the way, I owe you another favor this time, but I won't join you because of it. So if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Newgate, you're really annoying!"

"Shiki, you bastard!"

As he spoke, Whitebeard picked up Murakumogiri and Sakuragi Kujusai, which were placed to the side, and clashed them together.

Another burst of Conqueror's Haki caused many members of the Whitebeard Pirates to faint once again. Even Marco and the others who were initially holding on lost consciousness after Byakuya joined the battle.

The collision of three powerful Conqueror's Haki was simply beyond their ability to withstand.

The tremors, the surging sea, the flashing lightning—this sea area was now like a hellish realm.

"You really are a pervert!"

Golden Lion, panting, glanced at Bai Ye. He had initially thought that he would be stronger than Bai Ye, but now it seemed that Bai Ye was even stronger than him!

"Gurarararararar, those guys at the World Government are probably having a terrible headache!"

Whitebeard took a hearty sip of his drink, knowing that White Night would have a significant impact on the World Government in the future.

"Then I'm off, I'll find you for a drink next time."

Golden Lion gave Byakuya a deep look, then used the power of the Float-Float Fruit to take away the remaining parts of his fleet.

He needs to leave for a while to see the world.

Bai Ye didn't stop him; he wouldn't agree so soon.

Looking in the direction where the Golden Lion had left, Byakuya turned around, then held the unconscious Tenzuki in his arms, and then looked at Whitebeard and said, "Newgate, I'm leaving too. You can clean up here yourself."

After the sound faded, Bai Ye was nowhere to be seen on the ship.

Seeing them all run away and leaving behind such a mess, Whitebeard was now feeling quite annoyed.

These guys really left all the trouble for themselves!

"Let's talk, that guy has shown up again."

Holy Land Marie Gioia.

With the reappearance of the White Night, the Celestial Dragons started jumping up and down again.

After Bai Ye disappeared, they secretly increased the bounty by 200 million to find him, but they still came up empty-handed. Now, Bai Ye has reappeared and appeared at the sea battle between Golden Lion and Roger, stopping their fight.

This guy's appearance seems a bit unusual!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 177 Kizaru: You want me to capture Byakuya? I'd risk my life for a few hundred dollars a month!

"Are they still hiding on the Sky Island?"

The World Government has been in control for eight hundred years, so it is naturally aware of the existence of Skypiea.

They even sent people to the New World, but still couldn't find Bai Ye. So they sent people directly to the Sky Island to search for him.

They still couldn't find any trace of Bai Ye, which left them very confused as to where he had gone.

But considering he's a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, if he's determined not to be found, he'll be really hard to find.

"No matter where he hid before, he's shown up now, with a woman by his side. It seems he's also tied down?"

Satan said calmly.

He knew very well that Bai Ye in the past had no weaknesses, was strong, and was elusive, without any attachments.

It would be very difficult for the world government to deal with such a person.

But now Bai Ye has his only weakness. Unless Bai Ye truly doesn't care about anything else, this woman will definitely become his Achilles' heel.

Their current plan can be entirely centered around this woman.

"Let's investigate that woman's background first, and see if she has any relatives."

Nassuro Sei remained silent for a moment, then agreed with Satan Sei's point of view.

It would be very difficult to capture that woman from Bai Ye's side, so it's better to start by targeting her social circle.

"Anyway, let's catch that guy as soon as possible. Since he's already appeared, I have a bad feeling about him just waiting."

Saint Satan always felt that something had changed since he returned from the Valley of the Gods, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He even checked himself after returning, but found nothing unusual.

Moreover, as the person in charge of scientific research within the World Government, he naturally hoped to capture Bai Ye and study him thoroughly to understand Bai Ye's situation and why he could use so many abilities.

"By the way, has Kaido still not been captured?"

They had planned Bai Ye's plan long ago, but since Bai Ye had never appeared before, they couldn't carry it out.

No matter how capable he is, he can't escape their inescapable trap.

But what he cares about most is Kaido. They wanted to capture Kaido for research in the first place. Later, after destroying the scientific organization led by Vegapunk, they captured Vegapunk and brought him to the World Government, whereupon they made him continue to research the bloodline factor.

They are even more eager to capture Kaido and Byakuya.

They had already organized a capture operation and had captured Kaido, but what they didn't expect was that Kaido was not only a user of the Blue Dragon Fruit, but the guy who was captured along with him was a user of the Snake Snake Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Yamata no Orochi form.

In the end, not only did Kaido escape, but the Lunaria brats they had captured also got away.

They had originally been hunting down Kaido, but after searching for a long time, they discovered that Kaido seemed to have disappeared.

This also rendered the original research plan futile.

They have an idea to create a robot that can perfectly inherit the strength of gene clones, and may even surpass them.
