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

"But there's nothing worth researching anymore."

Dr. Clover knew that he and his colleagues were a burden, but there was no other research to be done now.

Let them be idle anyway.

"No, you can continue your research on technology and energy. If you want the world to return to the state of the Great Kingdom, then energy is something you absolutely must solve. I'm going out for a while now; I'll be taking Robin with me to decipher the Poneglyphs, which is what I promised you."

Unlike you, she's not on the Navy's wanted list, so she naturally doesn't attract anyone's attention. No one would associate Robin with Ohara.

Because she didn't experience the Buster Call, no one knows Robin's current identity; everyone who does is here.

"me?!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Robin's face; she hadn't expected Bai Ye to take her with him.

"Lord Byakuya, could you take me with you on a sea voyage?!"

Yamato looked at Byakuya with expectant eyes; she also wanted to go to sea with Byakuya.

Seeing his daughter like this, Kaido was heartbroken. In an attempt to win back his daughter's heart, he had offered to take Yamato on a voyage, but Yamato refused, saying that she wanted to go on her first voyage with Byakuya.

Kaido immediately went to fight Byakuya, but ended up getting beaten up by Byakuya again.

"This trip isn't for sightseeing; I'm going to bring back the people who belong to our kingdom!"

"Who?"

Golden Lion was a little curious: Were there other crew members outside?

He felt that the kingdom was now so powerful that it had even surpassed the Rocks Pirates of yesteryear.

The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, Kaido of the Beasts, Kuma, Ginny (who ate the Hurricane-Hurricane Fruit), John, Ichisuke, Bullet, and some other pirates similar to the Three Disasters.

It can be said that once the strength of the entire pirate crew is revealed, let alone the emperor of the New World, even the Roger Pirates of the past and the current Marine Headquarters would not be able to match them.

"Isn't that Boa Hancock, the most beautiful woman in the world?"

Yisheng slurped up a mouthful of soup noodles, then looked up at Bai Ye, though his eyes were full of white.

"Bai Ye, Bai Ye, it seems I misjudged you. I thought you liked men!"

Old John grinned lewdly. After settling in Wano Country, Shiki had his own children. Having given up his ambitions, he decided to build a world similar to a giant kingdom with Byakuya.

So he was no longer alone; he now had a family.

He himself loves treasure and believes that having treasure in this life is enough. Hawkeye is obsessed with swordsmanship. Kuma and Ginny have married in front of everyone. Barrett, on the other hand, is still obsessed with challenging White Night, so he trains day and night.

Everyone has their own pursuits. Take Bai Ye, for example. Nobody really knows what he's doing. He just eats and sleeps all day, and then cultivates when he has nothing to do. He hasn't gone anywhere in recent years.

If it weren't for the fact that Wano Country has been constantly changing according to Byakuya's will, everyone would have thought that Byakuya had simply given up.

With so many women around him, he really wasn't tempted at all.

Toki, Yamato, Robin, the mermaid Lilia, and various beauties from Wano Country.

Even going back to the Rocks Pirates, where Charlotte Linlin, a stunning beauty, was interested in him, he showed no intention of taking any action.

Now it seems that this is the kind of style they like.

So, it's not that the world's number one doesn't like it?

"Does Lord Baiye have someone he likes?"

Yamato looked at Byakuya with curiosity, and a sense of curiosity about Hancock also grew in her heart. This made her even more eager to leave Wano Country with Byakuya to see for herself.

"You'll have to explain your whole life!"

He had no idea what was going on between him and Hancock, even though he had only gone to pick her up according to their old agreement.

Ever since Hancock became the Empress of Amazon Lily, she has said more than once that she would fulfill her promise. If I remember correctly, I knew that back then.

"On our way back to Wano Country, we rescued three little girls who had been kidnapped by human traffickers. One of them was Empress Boa Hancock. That little girl wanted to come with us, but at that time, Byakuya said that he would only go to get her when she became strong enough to become the emperor of that country."

He drank the last drop of soup in one gulp, and then explained the whole story to Bai Ye.

However, this was not the answer they wanted.

"Hey! That's the world's most beautiful woman, don't you have any other ideas?"

What do you think I should think about?

"Please, we have pure gold. You know what that stuff is good for, don't you?"

"Old Lion, I never expected you to change like this after you got a wife and kids!"

If Golden Lion had said those words back then, he would have thought Golden Lion was a time traveler.

The Golden Lion has indeed changed a lot over the years.

"So you bring our partner back, and then what?"

Old John asked.

"The Poneglyphs, and some stuff about world governments."

The Five Elders' immortality, telepathy, teleportation, and Im's so-called concept erasure?

In short, there are still so many things to explore on your own.

"Alright then, Wano Country will open its borders now, as you wish?"

The others didn't seem to have any objections; it appeared that Bai Ye was preparing to take action.

Beforehand, Bai Ye had already devised a plan: the Navy might not necessarily become their enemy, and many Navy members could be won over.

When the World Government’s guilt is revealed to everyone, a rift will appear between the World Government and the Navy. However, Bai Ye does not have much expectation for this. After all, do you think those high-ranking Navy officers in the anime do not know what the World Government has done?

"Let's open the country! We need to bring out Pluton. I'll find some suitable recruits, and then we'll start a war with the Navy!"

Bai Ye stood up and looked into the distance. As a supporter of the World Government, if the Navy wanted to deal with the World Government, it would have to deal with the Navy first.

He also wanted to bring the fishmen from Fishman Island over, which was something he had promised Lilia.

When Lilia arrived in Wano Country, she overheard Amatsuki saying that Byakuya was Joy Boy, so she began to have some expectations for Byakuya.

According to legend, Joy Boy wanted to change the relationship between fish-men and humans so that fish-men could also live on land, but he failed for some reason.

"Wano Country has finally opened its borders. Just as I thought, Byakuya, you are Joy Boy!"

Amatsuki's eyes lit up. According to the prophecy of Wano Country, Joy Boy would help him open the country!

Although he was mistaken for Joy Boy, Bai Ye had no intention of explaining. Joy Boy could change the world, so why couldn't he?

"Kaido, you will still be in charge of opening the country. After the country is opened, many pirates will probably flood in, so let's compete for the title of Emperor!"

The world of One Piece is cruel. Becoming a member state of the World Government grants special privileges, such as the protection of the Navy, but requires paying a high amount of Celestial Gold.

If this country does not become a member state of the World Government, it will become a lawless land and a paradise for pirates.

This seems to be what world governments want to see.

Wano Country was protected by its terrain, so no one came here. But once Wano Country opens its borders, things might change.

"I?"

Kaido pointed to himself, completely stunned when he heard Bai Ye say that he should compete for the title of Emperor.

no? !

Are you the captain or am I the captain?

Does the Emperor also want him to come?

Why not just become the captain of the Dawn Pirates?

Without even a moment's mourning for the Dawn Pirates, the Beasts Pirates rushed to the battlefield next!

"Who else do you want to think of?"

Bai Ye pointed to the crowd present.

There are quite a few candidates: Golden Lion, Hawkeye, Life, and Barrett are all options.

The others are not qualified, because only a few of them have the strength to compete for the Royal Team.

"Your strength is enough to qualify you to become an emperor. With your Three Calamities and the Flying Six, that's more than enough. We don't need to lift a finger."

"Where's Yamato?"

Kaido nodded, then pointed at Yamato. He had a feeling that Byakuya was deliberately not mentioning Yamato for his own reasons.

"Yamato? She wants to leave with me!"

I am so fucking!!!

Kaido knew it!

Moreover, judging from Yamato's expectant expression, Kaido knew perfectly well that even if he wanted to stop her, it would be futile.

After all, it seemed that Yamato had already made up his mind to leave with Byakuya.

"Bai Ye, tell me the truth, did I offend you back in the Rocks Pirates?"

Kaido looked at Bai Ye with a gloomy expression, while also wondering if he had offended Bai Ye back when he was with the Rocks Pirates.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't understand Bai Ye's actions at all!

no? !

Why do you keep abducting your own daughter?

"No, I just think Yamato is cute, so I like to take her with me. You know I don't have a daughter."

"."

Recalling how he had boasted to Byakuya back then, and hearing Byakuya say those words again, Kaido now seriously suspects that Byakuya remembered this incident from that moment on.

"Hmph, Yamato, remember my words!"

"I know, Dad, you're so annoying!"

"."

The blond-haired man took his daughter away and said he was annoyed. Kaido didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Robin, then I'll leave the historical matters to you!"

Professor Clover looked at Robin intently. The history research was almost complete, and now all that was missing was some information from the Poneglyphs, so the rest of the journey would have to rely on Robin.
