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

"I'll join your pirate crew, but before that, I need to fulfill my dream!"

Mihawk looked intently at Bai Ye, ready to accept Bai Ye's invitation and join his pirate crew.

He is someone who dislikes trouble and prefers a peaceful life, and this White Night can satisfy his needs. It does not restrict his freedom and allows him to leave at will, while also giving him a stable life free from disturbance.

In addition, what Bai Ye was going to do made Mihawk want to see if he could make the wind that changed the world.

However, before joining, he had to fulfill his own dream.

"can."

Bai Ye was overjoyed and immediately agreed to Mihawk's request.

His dream must be to challenge the strongest swordsmen in the One Piece world, right?

He doesn't care who the world's greatest swordsman is; he only wants to challenge all sword masters and defeat them!

I have a feeling that when my team appears in front of the world in the future, it will surprise everyone!

Kaido, Bullet, Hawkeye, and Kuma—his four lieutenants—he wanted to ask which pirate crew could compare to him.

Immediately, Bai Ye looked at Yisheng. If Yisheng joined him, wouldn't his own team be able to single-handedly take down the Marine Headquarters?

"I can sense your emotional turmoil. Are you trying to invite me to join you? I am just a blind person."

Although he verbally refused, he was secretly considering whether to join Baiye.

He really wanted to do it, but he was also worried that Bai Ye would continue to follow his own will.

"You may be blind in your eyes, but not in your heart. You possess immense power, so why don't you join us in changing this world?"

"I can go along and take a look, but I'm not joining them."

He longed to follow Bai Ye back to his territory.

Bai Ye has been missing for so long, he should have his own territory, so he should be implementing his own policies in his territory.

He couldn't just listen to what Bai Ye said; he had to see what he did.

"Of course you're welcome!"

Once he's gone, he's determined to join. Wano Country has invested so much money; all those initial investments have revitalized a country with a huge wealth gap.

Even Oden was persuaded to leave on his own; once he arrived in Wano Country and saw what Oden had done, he truly wouldn't leave.

He was a very individualistic person. He joined the Navy to help more people and to abolish the Seven Warlords system. He was probably the most considerate of ordinary people in the Navy.

Two general-level fighters were gained from one drinking party, but it's a bit of a pity that the chance to win a prize hasn't been won yet. Is it because they haven't fully joined yet?

"I apologize, Marshal Kong. This was my oversight. Not only did Roger say those things, but Bai Ye even killed Roger and stole his body. I am willing to accept any punishment!"

Navy Headquarters.

After the events in Loguetown concluded, Sengoku immediately returned here to prepare for his punishment.

Although many pirates were captured at the time, it was impossible to make up for the mistakes he had made.

"The responsibility lies with me; you don't need to concern yourself with the Warring States period."

Sora shook his head, showing no intention of punishing Sengoku. The appearance of Byakuya had indeed shattered Sora's expectations.

Now is not the time to assign blame.

He also bears responsibility because he misjudged the situation at the time, underestimated that no one would come to rescue Roger, and did not think that a captured Pirate King was of any use, which led to this situation.

"But."

Sengoku was about to say something when Kong interrupted him, saying, "Sengoku, after this incident, I will be going to the Holy Land, and you will become the new Fleet Admiral. You cannot have any stain on your record!"

Although Kong had already refused several times, he knew very well that his promotion was coming soon.

He was about to finish dealing with all the naval matters, pave the way for Sengoku, and then he could finally go ahead with his promotion with peace of mind.

"Oh dear, Sengoku, this really isn't your fault. That bastard Baiye's abilities make it much harder to catch him!"

Garp comforted her, saying, "If it's Byakuya, isn't this normal?"

His incredible performance during the God Valley incident left Sengoku helpless.

"Let's think about the ever-growing number of pirates. We can't look at that guy, Bai Ye, from a normal perspective."

He spoke calmly, offering a reminder to the group.

The issue of White Night is not something to consider right now.

The pirate frenzy ignited by Roger will definitely give the Navy a huge headache.

"That bastard Roger must have planned this all along!!"

A ruthless glint flashed across Sakazuki's face. He hadn't expected that the Navy would be outmaneuvered by Roger under these circumstances. This guy had clearly surrendered on purpose, using this opportunity to sacrifice his life to usher in the Great Pirate Era.

"Let's send more marines. Everyone, please work harder these days."

It's impossible to stop them now. Steelbone Kong can only hope that they will work hard to capture the pirates in the near future, which will eventually reduce their arrogance.

Upon hearing Kong's order, everyone agreed, even the usually easygoing Garp. However, Borsalino was secretly groaning inwardly.

What kind of nonsense is this?!

I just want to clock in and go to work, why does everyone want me to do all the work?

"It's the same thing we talked about before. We need Bai Ye's intelligence. If we don't even know what the other side is doing, we'll always be at a disadvantage."

intelligence!

We always suffer from a lack of intelligence!

Bai Ye's abilities remain a mystery; we don't know what he's planning to do, and we don't even know where his enemy's stronghold is.

For them, the day and night are now one in the light and the other in the dark.

Given his bizarre abilities, it would be impossible to capture him.

Therefore, the importance of intelligence is highlighted at this time.

"Undercover?"

Steel Bone Kong knew what Crane was thinking, but there were only a few people suitable for infiltration right now, and he felt heartbroken to send even one of them away.

At the same time, whether Bai Ye would accept it was another question, so he was still somewhat conflicted about whether to do it.

In the past, Kong might not have thought so much about it, but now that the Great Pirate Era has arrived, after Roger's words, there will probably be even more pirates. With so many pirates, the Navy simply cannot deal with them all.

"Oh, you..."

Just as Tsuru was about to say something, Sora's Den Den Mushi rang.

Looking at the Den Den Mushi in front of him, Kong didn't really want to answer it, guessing it was there to interrogate him.

"Kong, it seems your navy has completely botched this. Don't you have anything to say?"

Satan Saint held back for several days, and only after Sengoku returned did they call Kong.

Although Sora had mentioned this matter a long time ago, at that time they only told Sora to wait and then decide.

Kong was also a little troubled by this phone call.

"I'll take care of all of this!"

"Easier said than done!"

Mazsan said coldly, "How could he even say that? It has caused such a huge impact, and all he says is that he will take responsibility?"

What can he handle?

"Ku, this is a problem you're handling, and there will be consequences. Also, you'll need to come in early and hand over your position to Sengoku, but before that, Sengoku needs to complete a task!"

Piet Saint said calmly that they still needed the Sengoku period to do something.

"what?"

Kong was also somewhat surprised, not expecting it to be resolved so easily.

Although the Five Elders said they would talk about it later, Kong knew very well that "later" meant there wouldn't be much punishment.

"Ohara, we've discovered a pair of Ohara ships researching history, so... you understand?"

After saying that, the Five Elders hung up the phone immediately, saying that studying history was a capital offense.

According to CP's investigation, they discovered the ship used for historical research in Ohara and also captured people, so this matter needs to be handled by the Navy.

Demon-slaying order!

Kong now understood why the Five Elders had said they would complete this task.

Ohara is known as the island of academia, and if the navy were to intervene, even in matters that are explicitly prohibited, such as researching history, it would likely draw even more criticism to the navy.

But if we listen to the Five Elders, then this matter must be done by them.

"This is really troublesome. We have to wipe out Ohara, otherwise their continued research will be very disadvantageous for us!"

"Vocli said calmly."

Roger's actions not only stirred up the Great Pirate Era, but also meant that to reach the final island, one needed to understand the Poneglyphs, and Ohara was a place that had to be dealt with.

Moreover, they have already begun to study history, which is something they cannot tolerate.

"This is really troublesome. That bastard Roger really caused us a huge problem before he died!"

Saint Satan nodded. If it weren't for Roger, the rampant pirates would have been suppressed because of this execution, which was exactly what they wanted.

The reason they weren't planning to punish the Navy this time was because they also saw that the Navy would need to intervene in the next steps.

Moreover, given the current situation of the navy, it's not certain that they can suppress it.

"Take out Ohara first, then focus all your efforts on Bai Ye?"

"But we have no information about him at all."

This is indeed what they most urgently want to do right now.

But wanting to do something is one thing, but without information about the other side, how can they target them?

"From now on, we'll focus all our efforts on Bai Ye, and then let CP search the whole world for him. I don't believe he can hide forever!"

Although there is currently no way to target Bai Ye, they can still find him!

Moreover, Bai Ye has been very active outside recently, which suggests that he seems to have made some preparations. They can definitely follow this line to find Bai Ye.
