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

He looked at Bai Ye, but all that was visible beneath his open eyes was the whites of his eyes.

He used his Observation Haki to 'see' the person in front of him as he entered.

Because he was curious about what Bai Ye had done, he chose to stay. It was obvious that the two were about to reach an agreement, and if he didn't ask the question he wanted to ask now, he probably wouldn't have the chance to ask it later.

"The victor is justice!"

"No, it shouldn't be like this."

Hearing Bai Ye's answer, he shook his head. Although he knew that what Bai Ye said made a lot of sense, he felt that things should not be like that.

If the victor is considered just, then does that mean whoever has the bigger fist is just?

"So you're denying that the Navy is righteous!"

"I don't"

He shook his head, feeling somewhat strange about what Bai Ye had said, since he hadn't denied it.

But he...

After thinking this way, he suddenly realized something and abruptly stared intently at Bai Ye with the whites of his eyes.

"So you're implying the World Government is the victor?!"

"That's right! The World Government won eight hundred years ago, so they are the righteous ones, and the so-called pirates are just labels they use. Who really knows who the thieves are?"

In fact, Bai Ye had always had a guess that Im might be related to Devil Fruits, perhaps a demon or something else?

He was later defeated by Joy Boy and imprisoned by Zunesha, guarded by giant robots. The Five Elders were from the Great Kingdom. Because of the Five Elders' betrayal, Im was released. Im then joined forces with the kings of other countries, ultimately leading to the subsequent destruction of the Great Kingdom.

If that's the case, then it would explain why Zunesha has been atoning for his sins, and why the giant robot attacked the Holy Land two hundred years ago.

However, this is just Bai Ye's guess. The truth will only be known after he comes into contact with Im or learns the truth about the destruction of the Great Kingdom.

If Roger were to be resurrected using Edo Tensei, it seems he could indeed learn the secrets from eight hundred years ago.

However, Bai Ye thought about it and gave up, since only by understanding it herself could she discover the fun in it.

“Not many people know what happened 800 years ago, and the World Government has been burying these facts. No matter what they were like in the past, the current World Government is corrupt.”

The Celestial Dragons divide everyone into different classes, and they have always been high above and enjoying everything.

The world has changed. The people I'm inviting aren't just members of a pirate crew, but people who will work together to change this world.

As Bai Ye spoke, he raised his glass and took a sip.

Mihawk, listening nearby, felt a sense of empathy deep down.

This guy seems to have been targeting the World Government ever since he became famous, right?

While all other pirates were chasing power, beautiful women, and treasure, he directly declared war on the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

"If we follow your view, it seems the Celestial Dragons are indeed the greatest evil." The man sighed, rolled his eyes at Bai Ye, and slowly said, "Being blind is a blessing in disguise; there are simply too many filthy and despicable people in the world that are unbearable to look at!"

Having traveled to many places across the seas throughout his life, witnessing the evil of nobles and pirates alike, he suddenly felt that viewing the world through his own eyes was far too tragic.

But he was powerless to change the world, just as Bai Ye said, the world seemed to be sick.

"So, do you want to change the world or become a new Celestial Dragon?"

His words instantly froze the atmosphere.

P.S.: Sorry, I was planning to post one or two more pictures in the recommendations today, but I caught a cold and had a fever, so I can only update with two pictures as usual.

Chapter 185 Hawkeye, Joining for Life, Hancock: That Day I Met My Angel!

"What do you think?"

Bai Ye did not directly answer the question about his life; in fact, he could never answer it well no matter what.

Does he want to become a new Celestial Dragon?

Don't want to.

But once you take that step, everyone will praise you and push you to that position, and it seems like a cycle.

The nobility will never disappear.

Just like my own pirate crew now, if we succeed, wouldn't Kaido and the others inevitably become one of the new 'Twenty Kings'?

"It's unclear what will happen next."

He remained calm on the surface, unsure whether Bai Ye would agree. In truth, many things are not static.

Besides, I'm just a passerby at the tavern; do you really think I can impose my will on others?

"You don't look like a pirate."

Yisheng lowered his head and took a sip of wine. Although he didn't get an answer, or rather, there was no way he could get an answer, from the very beginning he had noticed that Baiye seemed to be completely different from the pirates he knew.

Pirates are greedy and ambitious, but he didn't sense that in Bai Ye. He could sense that kind of ingrained trait.

"I have never said that I am a pirate. I just went to sea and was then treated as a pirate and had a bounty put on me. To the World Government and the Navy, I am a pirate, but compared to others, I am a savior."

It's just a difference in perspective. No one has ever stipulated that pirates must be greedy or do things that would incur divine and public wrath.

The title of "pirate" was merely imposed upon him by the World Government.

"That's true, everything I know about you comes from the newspapers."

He nodded in agreement.

All the information he knew about Baiye came from word of mouth from other people.

The newspapers contained numerous accounts of Bai Ye's 'misdeeds'.

But after getting to know him, I found that he wasn't quite the person I thought he was.

"But if you overthrow the Celestial Dragons, how do you plan to deal with the current pirates?"

He continued to seek answers throughout his life.

He didn't dwell on whether Bai Ye would become a new Celestial Dragon; that matter was still uncertain.

Who knows if it will succeed?

There must be a reason why the world government has been able to stand for eight hundred years.

In his view, there are many reasons for the current era, but the two most important factors are the Celestial Dragons and pirates.

The Celestial Dragons are scum, but there are even more scum among the pirates.

He had seen many pirates who, upon landing on the island, immediately engaged in burning, killing, looting, and all sorts of atrocities.

"Some pirates are actually forced to go to sea, but many of them do evil things because of their own desires. If it were me, I would kill all of these pirates and spare those who are truly adventurous."

Ultimately, the vast majority of pirates in the One Piece world are scum.

If pirates don't produce food, where do they get their food?

Rob.

They robbed all sorts of treasures, and they even robbed pretty women. They relied on robbing for everything. Most of them lived at sea, so how could they possibly have money to buy things?

Even those pirates who specialize in robbing other pirate crews, aren't the treasures they steal also taken from other people or pirates?

So, in the end, pirates are just thieves; it's just that anime has romanticized them.

"Can we kill them all?"

"We can't kill them all, and we also have to cooperate with the policies. Besides, if all the islands are combined into one landmass in the future, there will be no more pirates."

That will be the time for the mountain bandit king, right?

Sig, this prosperous era is just as you wished!

"Such power is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people."

I was shocked by Bai Ye's wild imagination. He actually wanted to gather all the islands together. If Bai Ye really succeeded, then it might be true, as Bai Ye said, that there would be no more pirates in this world.

If all the islands are together, what's the point of going on adventures?

“Five hundred years ago, there was a giant monster named Oz who liked to move his favorite islands away. Isn’t this enough to do it?”

The legend of Oz should still exist.

He will move the island he likes away.

This is actually very similar to what Joy Boyle once wanted to do.

In his letter to Fishman Island, he said that he was sorry to Fishman Island because he had not fulfilled his previous promise.

What was Joy Boy's promise?

The goal is to move Fishman Island to the mainland so that they can also live on land.

In the end, Joy Boy failed, so perhaps the Kingdom of D was complete from the beginning, but the island-destroying weapon used by Im shattered the land, or perhaps Joy Boy was transporting the islands to the vicinity of the Great Kingdom, but was later destroyed by Im and others.

Regardless, what Joy Boy did inspired Byakuya, and he also wanted to gather all the islands together so that there would be no more pirates.

"By doing this, you will completely offend two groups."

Mihawk added from the side, in his opinion, if Bai Ye really did that, the first people he would offend would be the pirates.

After all, if you concentrate all the islands together, how will they go out to sea to rob others in the future?

Of course, not all pirates will be enemies with Byakuya, but they will definitely offend many people because of it.

The second is the World Government. This is breaking the existing rules, which is something the World Government absolutely will not allow to happen. So he has directly offended everyone.

The probability of success will be very low.

"But if it succeeds, the world might really change!"

I always felt that what Bai Ye wanted to do was unlikely to succeed, but if he did succeed, it would absolutely upend the world.

"Changing the world seems pretty cool."

Mihawk glanced at Bai Ye, his mind racing, wondering whether he should accept Bai Ye's invitation.

Some bad experiences in the past have made it difficult for Mihawk to trust other people.

But he also knew very well that Bai Ye was doing something very meaningful, and it would be even more meaningful if he could join in. However, before that, he needed to complete something.
