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

Bai Ye stroked his chin, clearly curious about what they had been saying all along—that they wanted to capture him. They had mentioned this more than once or twice before.

At first, Bai Ye thought they wanted to capture him and imprison him in the city.

After all, the World Government would never allow a Devil Fruit user, especially a powerful one, to die.

If someone dies and is reborn using a Devil Fruit, and it falls into the hands of someone else, it could potentially create another great pirate.

Compared to the Navy, the World Government has also noticed that there are more and more pirates lately.

Fewer and fewer people are joining the Navy, while pirates are becoming increasingly rampant. However, everything is still under control. But if this continues, the seas will only become more chaotic. As long as the first half of the Grand Line and the four seas remain stable and under their control, that should be enough.

However, with the number of pirates increasing, it will definitely be necessary to retrieve some powerful Devil Fruit users and imprison them in Impel Down.

They've been doing this for the past eight hundred years.

However, Bai Ye later discovered that what they meant by capturing him was not what he understood—that they wanted to take him to Impel Down, but rather that they wanted to capture him for research.

If Vegapunk had already joined the World Government, it would be quite normal for Byakuya, since at that time he was researching the secrets of lineage factors and Devil Fruits, or perhaps he was studying Pacifistas and needed to integrate his Rumble-Rumble ability like Kizaru.

It seems quite normal to focus on studying something that makes you feel like you're doing it right.

But the idea that he should focus on his own research now was truly baffling to Bai Ye.

unless....

Did the world government actually begin researching this at this point?

Bai Ye suddenly realized that her thinking seemed to be somewhat restricted.

In reality, world governments are probably already researching this.

Or rather, it has always existed for the past eight hundred years, but we just couldn't figure it out later.

These problems were only resolved later because of Vegapunk's appearance.

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly realized that it was actually possible that the other party was trying to capture me for research purposes.

Just like when Kaido was traded, Vegapunk didn't join the World Government, but the World Government still wanted to capture Kaido, right?

It's highly likely that the other side has already started researching this.

"God's Judgment!"

In the sky, several bolts of lightning began to fall, and their frequency increased continuously as CP0 moved.

"Huh?! You dodged that fast. Speaking of which, having Observation Haki is really troublesome!"

Lightning is fast, but it's impossible to hit someone with lightning like Enel did when he fought Luffy. The opponent will dodge it. Compared to the early stages, after his physical abilities improved in the later stages, it's not so easy for lightning to hit someone.

But people... no matter how fast they are, they will make mistakes. Now that the initiative is in his own hands, Bai Ye's lips curled up and he began to appreciate it.

He wanted to see how many times the other person could dodge.

"Damn it, this can't go on, or we'll definitely die!"

One of the slightly shorter CP0s said hesitantly.

Now he understands very well that passively taking hits like this, once he is hit, it will be very difficult to dodge them afterward. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit's attack does not only cause damage at that moment, but also paralyzes his body with lightning afterward, affecting him.

At this moment, they had no other choice but to hide.

"Someone has to step forward and stop him from using his abilities so recklessly!"

The taller CP0 members empathized and now needed someone to stop him.

Chapter 173 - Lei Ying! Utter terror!

"Who stopped it?"

You can say it, but you can't do it.

They are not Devil Fruit users; they simply practice physical skills and Haki.

When facing ordinary Devil Fruit users.

It also has significant advantages.

But now they were facing a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which made them realize one thing: if they couldn't control the opponent or hit them, it was all for nothing, no matter how much they trained their strength.

You said you want to restrict the White Nights?

Excuse me....

How do you plan to restrict it?

If someone possessed a Devil Fruit ability and could confine Bai Ye to a certain area, preventing him from moving freely, they felt that dealing with Bai Ye would be quite simple.

But unfortunately, he simply doesn't have that ability.

You can't trap the opponent; they can use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability to teleport continuously.

Judging from the battle report between Baiye and Garp last time, it can be seen that the other party is not a brainless brute. He can think independently. Even when he knows he can't win, or even when he knows he can win, he will not easily engage in close combat.

He possesses exceptionally strong Observation Haki, making a sneak attack seem impossible, as has been proven before.

They have Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, plus the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and there's still no way to limit them. Can they really solve the problem just by talking?

"Think of a way, send a signal!"

"Wouldn't sending a signal alert other pirates to this place?!"

Don't forget, they're here to collect the treasure chests.

If you send a signal here, aren't you alerting other pirates that something's up here?

Many pirates were searching for it but couldn't find it, and the signal here really does alert them.

"But without a signal, we'll definitely die here!"

If I die, won't these treasures still be taken by Bai Ye?

Therefore, it's better to use a signal directly. They can die, but these things can't fall into Bai Ye's hands.

Hearing what the short CP0 said, the other two suddenly realized that the most important thing at this moment was not whether this matter would attract pirates.

First, the treasure chest cannot be taken by pirates. If it is not used, then the treasure chest will definitely be taken by Byakuya.

There's still a chance if we use it. Actually, we need to grab Bai Ye and tell the others that Bai Ye is here.

"No need, I'll send you a signal!"

Bai Ye smiled, then raised his finger and pointed to the sky. CP0's gaze followed the direction of Bai Ye's finger, where a ball of lightning was slowly descending.

Lei Ying needs some time to prepare, and Bai Ye is using a smaller version of Lei Ying, which he has been preparing for during the previous battle.

Looking up at the thunderball in the sky that covered an area of ​​dozens of miles.

The violent lightning wasn't just noticed by CP0; everyone else on the island at that moment also noticed it.

"Momomo, that bastard Bai Ye really made a big commotion!!!"

Charlotte Lingling's gaze fell on the small lightning ball; it was so big, it was hard not to notice it.

Almost everyone on the island saw it.

"What is the meaning of his fight?!"

Longbread was somewhat surprised. He had thought that Bai Ye was like them, coming here mainly for some personal gain.

They never even considered fighting with the World Government.

After all, they all knew very well that Rocks' goal was impossible to achieve. If you said that he was just here to rob some things and kill some people from the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, then everyone would listen to you and do it that way, and no one would have any objections.

But you have to eliminate everyone on the entire island, then work together to fight the Celestial Dragons, and thus become the King of the World.

That's right!

The proposal and the idea itself were indeed very tempting once spoken.

But it's simply impossible. Not everyone is like Lox; everyone would seriously consider whether there's even a chance of success.

If there are such opportunities, and they are not low, then everyone will naturally join.

After all, who wouldn't want to become a new Celestial Dragon?

But...

There's practically no chance of success.

In Longbread's view, it was simply impossible for their pirate crew to shake the entire World Government.

So from the very beginning, after learning about this plan, Longbread only came to reap the benefits, and once this was completely over, he would leave the Rocks Pirates with Charlotte Linlin.

Then they would form their own pirate crew.

Charlotte Linlin, of course, did not object to this. Since the Rocks Pirates would only suppress her, she shared the same thought.

"That guy..."

Kaido also looked in that direction, though he was still fighting as a member of the Rocks Pirates.

However, he didn't cause much of a stir. In fact, Kaido wanted to check on Rocks' situation.
