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

By this time, Crocodile had long since lost his Haki.

Luffy defeated him using blood and water, but Byakuya, who possesses Haki, is naturally much easier to deal with than Luffy.

Even so, White Night was 'killed' by Crocodile several times.

On the last day of the 365 days, White Night successfully defeated Crocodile.

"Phew... As expected of a Shichibukai, even the weakest one in the early stages..."

Bai Ye clenched his fists, after 365 days of special training.

Bai Ye has become even more adept at cultivating domineering aura.

His panel was updated at that moment.

【Cronus D. White Night】

[Identity]: Member of Wang Zhi's Squad

[Strength]: Rear Admiral

[Abilities]: Armament Haki (Advanced), Observation Haki (Intermediate)

[Task]: Cultivate to the highest level of domineering aura and reach the strength of a major general.

He jumped directly from the rank of colonel to the rank of major general, demonstrating the strength of a warrant officer.

This is equivalent to the Smoker period during the Alabasta era.

Bai Ye was somewhat dissatisfied with this improvement in strength.

Even with the Time Chamber acting as a cheat code to feed him experience, he only improved by a small amount.

Moreover, with his Observation Haki, he always felt like he was about to break through, yet he always felt like he was just one step away.

Chapter Twenty - Promotion! Core Crew Member!

"Bai Ye, come over and let's talk."

Wang Zhi sat at the bow of the boat, looked at Bai Ye who had come onto the deck, and waved to him.

Yesterday, after recruiting Bai Ye, he originally wanted to have a chat with Bai Ye.

However, because of Captain John, he temporarily gave up, and the welcoming ceremony for the newlyweds after boarding the ship directly disrupted Wang Zhi's plans.

"Your physique?! It's so much stronger than yesterday?"

As the night grew closer, Wang Zhi could clearly sense that today's night was very different from yesterday's.

Yesterday, Bai Ye appeared to be in very poor health, in Wang Zhi's opinion.

He probably couldn't even withstand a single blow from himself.

"Never mind, that's your own business. But there are some things I still want to tell you. My pirate ship doesn't have that many rules. As long as you have the strength, you can climb up the ranks."

Of course, you wouldn't want to die in a battle with the Navy or another pirate crew someday, would you?

Wang Zhi had relatively high standards for his fleet.

He is not like the Golden Lion or Captain John.

As long as a pirate has even a little bit of strength and is willing to join you, that's enough.

He doesn't want to hire trash.

"Then let's have a fight, and I'll see what you're really made of!"

As Wang Zhi spoke, he raised the greatsword in his hand and looked at Bai Ye.

Seeing this, the surrounding pirates couldn't help but smile.

"Hehe, the captain's welcoming ceremony is always so unique!"

Every pirate who joins Wang Zhi's fleet must fight him.

If he does well enough, he'll be assigned to the core crew; if he doesn't, he'll just be a regular crew member.

At the same time, this also satisfies Wang Zhi's own fighting desire.

"Ok."

Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, but listening to the surrounding discussions, he roughly knew that joining Wang Zhi seemed to mean that everyone would have to fight a battle.

But aren't you afraid of smashing the pirate ship to pieces?

Bai Ye silently complained to himself.

But he still took out kunai and shuriken in preparation for fighting Wang Zhi.

"How long can this newcomer last? Place your bets!"

"I think I can last thirty seconds with a new player!"

"The captain will probably hold back in the early stages, I'll guess for a minute!"

"me too!"

Life at sea is inherently dull and monotonous, but now that there's something fun to do, the pirates are intrigued and want to see how long White Night can last.

Is this group of people... doing something right at this time?

Shock!

The longest pirate record is actually one minute!

If this gets out, how am I supposed to survive in the world of One Piece?

"Captain, my living expenses this month are all depending on you!"

"I'd also like to find a few women on Beehive Island!"

"Fuck off!"

Wang Zhi laughed and cursed, "These people are using me as a topic of conversation?"

However, this is an old tradition, and Wang Zhi doesn't mind.

"It's starting, you make the first move!"

Wang Zhi held his weapon but did not make the first move; he wanted to observe Bai Ye's battle first.

Otherwise, if he were to make a direct attack and accidentally injure Bai Ye, there would be no need for that.

It was just a test of their crew's abilities.

"correct..."

Bang!

Before Wang Zhi could finish speaking, Bai Ye flashed forward, punched Wang Zhi into the air, and then kicked him away.

He was stunned, and Wang Zhi was stunned too.

What the hell!

He hadn't even finished speaking when you made your move.

He was careless at the time, didn't dodge, and launched a sneak attack!

These young people have no martial ethics, and they're even using their domineering attitude!

Why didn't you use your domineering aura yesterday?

Hitting the captain makes all the difference, doesn't it?

Get powerful right away?

However, he felt more delighted than surprised by Bai Ye, realizing that all his previous guesses had been wrong.

Bai Ye's breakthrough is definitely not as weak as it seems.

Because people with weak physiques simply cannot cultivate Armament Haki.

"Captain, what are you doing?!"

"RNM!! Refund!!"

So while they were still discussing how long Bai Ye could hold out, you were just kicked out?

Who are you, the trader?

You must have spent a lot of money, right?

"Kid, you've got some nerve, huh!"

As he spoke, Wang Zhi flashed behind Bai Ye and raised his greatsword to slash at him.

Great swordsman!

Bai Ye could sense this sword intent. He had tested it against Hawkeye before, and ended up suffering a crushing defeat.

They can't even withstand a single move from their opponent unless the opponent holds back.

Although Wang Zhi's strength may not seem to be comparable to Hawkeye's, a great swordsman is a great swordsman, and no great swordsman is without merit.
