After my triumphs and defeats, I created multiple aliases across countless worlds.

Roger sighed inwardly. Judging from Bai Ye's fighting style, he clearly wouldn't give anyone a chance to touch him.

With such a person possessing a fruit granting unparalleled speed, it would be highly unlikely that they could even encounter their opponent.

Roger now understands that all he can do is pray that Sambell can hold off that brat Bai Ye, as long as he doesn't unleash a large-scale attack that would cause him even greater losses.

At the same time, Roger suddenly realized a problem: coming to the New World was incredibly stupid of him.

Roger had known all along that Rocks would come looking for him, but he hadn't taken it seriously. On the contrary, Garp seemed so kind to Roger at this moment.

If Garp were here, I could still run away, but now, seeing the Rocks Pirates coming so aggressively, running away seems completely different from before!

"You're distracted while fighting me?!"

Rocks threw a punch at Roger, but the punch missed Roger and was blocked by Ace in Roger's hand. However, the force of the punch still sent Roger flying.

Rocks is now much stronger than Roger.

Roger, caught off guard, could only passively take the beating, and the two men's Conqueror's Haki clashed fiercely in the air.

Some of the weaker pirates around had already succumbed to dizziness and passed out.

"So strong..."

Bai Ye glanced at the location where Roger and Rocks were fighting.

These two have such powerful Conqueror's Haki, and this is Roger before he even reached his peak...

However, Roger was also somewhat disheveled at this moment.

He now had a clearer understanding of the gap between himself and the top experts.

It seems Kaido was right; Haki is the most important thing.

Kaido was also stunned and stood there for a moment, watching the scene of the battle between the two sides.

I originally thought that the improvement in Devil Fruit power would be huge, especially after seeing Byakuya's Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Kaido also hopes to eat a powerful Devil Fruit to increase his strength.

But he only realized this after witnessing the battle between Roger and Rocks.

I seem to have been naive again.

It turns out that you really can be this strong without fruit.

Neither Roger nor Rocks possessed Devil Fruit powers; relying solely on Haki, they had already cleared out most of the surrounding fodder.

Nowadays, apart from a few captains, the rest of the people, even if they haven't fainted, have almost lost their fighting ability.

"Phew, now I'm your opponent!"

Sambell raised his steel fork and thrust it directly at White Night.

His body was covered in Armament Haki, which clearly showed that after learning that Bai Ye was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, he knew that if he didn't use Armament Haki at this moment, he probably wouldn't be able to harm Bai Ye.

"This fish-man... can actually cover his entire body with Armament Haki."

Bai Ye glanced at Sambell, whose entire body was covered in Armament Haki, clearly indicating that he had some understanding of how to deal with Logia-type Devil Fruits.

Sambell remembered.

It seems that he became a prominent figure in Roger's pirate crew later on, and he appears to be a core member.

Before Bai Ye could think, he flashed to Sambel's back and then unleashed a lightning bolt.

Bai Ye simply wanted to test the gap between himself and the experts.

It wasn't that he particularly wanted to kill anyone, because his and Rocks' goals were different.

He didn't really want Rocks to become the king of the world again after becoming the king of the new world.

Although everyone knows that Rocks will ultimately fail, even if he defeats Roger, Rocks still has no trump card to deal with the World Government.

Ultimately, the God Valley Incident was a battle between Rocks, some members of the Knights of God, Garp, and the Roger Pirates.

Even without the Roger Pirates, the World Government still has trump cards up its sleeve.

Therefore, Rocks was destined to fail, but at this point, it would be possible to help Rocks kill Roger.

So, what came at God Valley might not have been the Roger Pirates, but rather other trump cards of the World Government, or even Im's ability to completely obliterate the island.

In short, regardless of which one it is, Bai Ye feels that it's best not to change the plot at this point.

Once you rewrite the plot, you will no longer have control over what happens next.

Just kidding!

If One Piece is defeated, won't the whole series fall apart?

Who will usher in the Great Pirate Era?!

Bai Ye suddenly gave Rocks a strange look. Could they have sent Rocks?!

That era was truly about to go completely out of control, and it would be a long time before Roger became the Pirate King. It wasn't like Roger became the Pirate King shortly after experiencing God Valley.

At that time, the New World was no longer dominated by the Rocks Pirates, but instead became a battleground for the three legendary pirates: Roger, Whitebeard, and Shiki.

It was during this period that Roger collected all the Red Poneglyphs and became the Pirate King.

Therefore, Bai Ye didn't pay much attention to his fight with Sambel. He was testing his strength while slacking off, waiting to see how Roger would escape this time.

It wasn't mentioned in the original work. Could it be that, like in the battle with Shiki, he was saved by the weather?

Sambell was annoyed by Bai Ye's absent-mindedness, but he was also somewhat relieved. If Bai Ye didn't really want to fight, then he wouldn't need to exert himself too much; he could just hold him off.

Chapter 149 - Is this the power to correct the plot?

"It looks like Roger is going to lose, but if that's the case... why didn't he die?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Bai Ye's eyes. The weather around him hadn't changed much, and Roger had been cornered by Rocks.

It won't be long before this ends here.

But what happens next after Roger dies?

Bai Ye was confused, but felt that even if Roger died, it wouldn't have too much of an impact.

Even without the Great Pirate Era, as long as Nika appears later, everything seems to make sense.

Ultimately, what was needed was Nika, not Roger. Otherwise, Roger wouldn't have laughed and said he was early when they arrived at the final island, because Nika wasn't waiting for him. At this point, whoever died would only have some minor impact.

However, after various subsequent changes, Bai Ye also felt that there were some problems, the first of which was Shanks.

Would Shanks and Bucky's fate have been different if Roger hadn't gone?

Subsequently, Shanks stole the Nika Devil Fruit, if Shanks hadn't followed the original path.

So, this fruit...

Suddenly, Bai Ye felt a headache coming on, but he didn't intervene. After all, there would be other ways to move things forward after Roger died.

There was no need for Bai Ye to do anything unnecessary.

It seems like Roger's fate now depends on his luck.

only...

Suddenly, Bai Ye sensed a naval warship approaching.

That's it!?

"Karp..."

As expected of two best friends, Garp still followed Roger even after he arrived in the New World.

The new world today is not like the one after Rocks fell.

Garp really has a lot of guts to come to the New World like this.

Otherwise, they simply couldn't do something like this.

"Captain, it looks like the navy is coming."

Bai Ye offered a timely reminder: "It seems that Roger was able to leave because of Garp."

Although Rocks can still fight Roger and Garp, it probably won't be easy for him. What's more, the most important thing is that if Rocks gets bogged down here...

But as for the specifics of how to proceed, Bai Ye wanted to see how Lox handled it.

"Navy? Who?"

Rocks turned his head and looked at Bai Ye, asking a question.

"Cap."

"..."

Lockes remained silent for a while, and began to consider things in his mind.

At this point, forcibly keeping Roger would not be difficult for him.

However, if Garp comes, he doesn't know if the Navy will follow. Also, his own plans are about to begin, and he doesn't want to be targeted by the Navy at this time.

As for the God Valley incident, he was waiting for the Navy to lower their guard, for him to launch a surprise attack and wipe out the Celestial Dragons, and then announce it to the world.

It would definitely demoralize the navy and the world government.
