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

"No way?"

Only Grandma, seeing Hancock like this, had a bad feeling about it.

She had been through something similar before, but if the target was that guy Bai Ye, could Hancock really succeed?

Back then, with so many beautiful women surrounding him, she wasn't tempted at all, unlike Hancock now.

Moreover, she developed symptoms as soon as the person left, which is not good news.

Bai Ye and the others had already left the Calm Belt. Bai Ye didn't have time to waste on the journey any longer, so he used Susanoo to fly towards the East Blue.

Now he needs to replicate Nika, and at the same time change a few things that should be changed. Since he is going to fight the World Government, he must take down some things.

Windmill Village.

Inside Makino's tavern, the door was pushed open, and the Red-Haired Pirates, who had been drinking and having fun, instantly tensed up.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the newcomer.

"Oh, I never expected such an important person as you to come to a small place like the East China Sea!"

Shanks subconsciously touched his straw hat, but when he suddenly realized that he had given his hat to Luffy, a look of disbelief flashed across his face. It seemed that he had already staked his arm and the straw hat on the New World.

"You're here too, aren't you? The apprentice kid on Roger's ship. I even saw you when Roger was executed." Bai Ye, ever the friendly one, pushed open the door and walked to the table, then looked at Makino and said, "Just a glass of water will do."

"I want to drink!!"

Yamato raised her hand and said that she really wanted to drink.

However, she was stopped by her father in Wano Country, who said that a little girl like her should not drink alcohol.

Now that she's not in Wano Country anymore, surely no one can stop her now?

Thinking of this, she subconsciously glanced at Bai Ye, still feeling a little uneasy.

"No, I promised your father I wouldn't let you drink alcohol."

Although Byakuya didn't know why Kaido wouldn't let Yamato drink, Kaido looked at Byakuya seriously and asked him to, so Byakuya didn't refuse.

Upon hearing what Bai Ye said, Yamato's face immediately fell.

how come? !

Why won't you let me drink alcohol when I'm not even in Wano Country anymore?

"she?!"

Shanks' pupils contracted slightly. The moment he saw Yamato, he thought of one person: Kaido of the Beasts.

The two people's features were just too obvious.

Are they of the same race as Kaido?

Shanks made a guess in his mind, but didn't think too much about it. Instead, he focused his gaze on Bai Ye.

For him, the current issue isn't about the relationship between the girl in front of him and Kaido.

Shanks' first purpose in coming to Windmill Village was to see Luffy, and secondly, after ending his voyage across the seas, he decided to head to the New World.

The struggle for the Emperor position in the New World has reached a fever pitch, and Shanks has also decided to fight for it. So he left his last place in the four seas here, and then he will head to the New World without stopping.

However, to his surprise, he actually met Bai Ye here.

"Hey Shanks, you're really lame right now!"

Lucky Roux, who was standing to the side, took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand and joked with a smile, "This Shanks is really lame!"

"Haha, after all, we've encountered such a legendary pirate!"

Shanks laughed heartily. He didn't deny his earlier lapse in composure, showing his magnanimity and indifference to his subordinates' teasing.

A great pirate from the Rocks era.

Why is this guy still the same as he was back then?

He had seen White Night's bounty poster before, and later he saw White Night again during the naval battle between Golden Lion and Roger, as well as when Roger was executed.

Bai Ye really hasn't changed at all.

"Speaking of which, it's surprising that you still remember someone as insignificant as me."

Shanks took a sip of his drink, a hint of emotion flashing across his face. He was even reminded that the other party had seen him appear in Loguetown back then.

"Now that you have the power to become the emperor of the new world, do you still consider yourself a nobody?"

Shanks' existence has always been a mystery.

His identity as a Celestial Dragon has been confirmed. As a Celestial Dragon, what he has always wanted to do is actually quite puzzling, such as maintaining the balance of the world?

The fact that Shanks took the Nika Devil fruit suggests that he seems to know something.

So everything he has done from the past to the present is somewhat puzzling. Is he trying to overthrow the Celestial Dragons' rule?

"Hey, Captain, did you hear that? You're certified as a legendary pirate!"

"That's right, let's go to the New World and seize an emperor!"

Everyone laughed and joked, but Shanks, looking somewhat troubled, rubbed his forehead and said, "Come on, with my strength, going to the New World would be suicide."

That being said, vying for the emperor's position requires more than just a strong pirate crew; it also requires a certain level of influence. Consider why Big Mom and Whitebeard were recognized as emperors.

This is because they are not only powerful themselves, but also have a group of affiliated pirate crews.

I have absolutely nothing!

"have a drink?"

Shanks picked up the bottle and placed it in front of Bai Ye. He actually had many questions he wanted to ask Bai Ye.

However, considering that Bai Ye might not answer if he asked from the beginning, he did not think he would.

But if you get drunk, you might find out some answers you're looking for later.

There's no friendship that can't be forged over a drink; if there is, then let's have another one.

"no problem!"

After thinking for a while, Bai Ye realized that Luffy had already eaten Nika, so he would just copy it and leave. He might as well have a drink.

However, after he finished speaking, Yamato behind him also looked at him with resentment.

What?

Why can't I drink alcohol?

Even though she has already left Wano Country and her father is no longer here, she should be the freest female warrior.

Bai Ye had told him that back then, but now he's gone back on his word.

It must all be her father's fault. These things must have been said by her father to Bai Ye, which is why Bai Ye stopped her from drinking and from becoming the freest female warrior on the sea.

That's right!

It's all my father's fault, it has nothing to do with Lord Baiye. Lord Baiye is also doing this because of his father!

Thinking of this, Yamato's resentment was directed at Kaido of Wano Country. What wrong could Lord Byakuya have done?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 236 Naval Live Broadcast of the Encirclement, White Night: Nika White Night's most outrageous ability in the world, shocking the world.

"Aren't you going to the New World to fight for the throne of an emperor? Right now, the people stirring up trouble in the New World are all members of your Rocks Pirates!"

Taking advantage of a slight buzz, Shanks probed Bai Ye with a question.

The disbandment of the Rocks Pirates is truly like a sky full of stars.

Of the legendary four great pirates of the past—White Night, Roger, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion—three came from the Rocks Pirates.

In the current battle for the title of Emperor of the Sea, Big Mom, Whitebeard, and Kaido all originated from the Rocks Pirates.

Back then, I couldn't even imagine what the world would be like now if the Rocks Pirates hadn't disbanded.

"What's so good about an emperor? He's nothing but a trapped beast."

Bai Ye curled his lip. The emperor of the new world is just a nice-sounding title. The world government needs you, but if they don't, they can easily get rid of you.

Ultimately, isn't the goal to create a few exemplary cases so that everyone's attention will be focused on them?

The World Government pointed at the Four Emperors and said, "Pirates, look, this is your target." Then, turning to the member states and non-member states of the World Government, they smiled and said, "These are the Four Emperors, who can destroy a country at will. Let's see who dares not to join our World Government!"

"A trapped beast?"

Shanks paused for a moment, a rare occurrence, when he heard Bai Ye describe the Emperor in that way.

It seems really similar.

Even your own captain eventually dies, doesn't he?

Thinking of Roger, Shanks grinned: "By the way, thank you so much for what happened that time!"

The fact that the captain wasn't killed by the navy was a significant blow to the navy after that incident.

They spread rumors that Roger had been captured by the Navy, but during his execution, not only did Roger ignite the Great Pirate Era, but he also failed to kill them. It's fair to say they completely lost face.

"You're welcome. Consider it a big favor you owe me."

what! ?

Shanks opened his mouth wide and almost choked to death.

Not a buddy?

Thank you is fine, but why do I suddenly owe you such a big favor?

Is this how people chat?

Shanks hadn't expected White Night to play like this.

But since the words had already been spoken, it seemed rather unreasonable not to respond.

But to feel so disgusted by incurring such a huge favor is like swallowing a fly.

"Okay, I owe you a huge favor!"

"Haha, Captain, you're such a loser!"
