Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

"Alright, Beckman, get ready to set sail."

Beckman took out a cigarette case from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, but didn't light it. He glanced at Shanks, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Captain, you really can't sit still for a moment."

"Hahahaha... Let's go first and wait for Bai Yujun for a month..."

Shanks laughed and turned to walk toward his ship.

Mihawk also stood up, handed his glass of red wine to a red-haired crew member next to him, and then turned and walked toward the ship's railing.

He stepped over the gunwale and onto the black coffin ship.

The boat swayed beneath his feet for a moment, then stabilized, as if it were rooted to the surface of the sea.

He stood at the bow of the ship, his back to everyone, facing the sea. Black Blade Night hung motionless on his back, like a silent tombstone.

Then he turned his head and glanced at Bai Yu.

"Don't keep me waiting too long."

He said his voice was as calm as if he were stating something obvious.

Bai Yu smiled.

"Will not."

Mihawk said nothing more. He turned his head, and the sails unfurled in the wind like a black bird spreading its wings.

The coffin ship silently left the red-haired man's ship and sailed into the depths of the sea.

Shanks stood at the bow of his ship, looking in the direction Mihawk had left, then turned to look at Bai Yu and shouted:

"Bai Yu! We're waiting for you outside Elbaf! Don't be late!"

"understood!"

Bai Yu answered loudly.

Shanks smiled, then turned and walked into the cabin.

The Red-Haired Pirates' ship also began to move.

The sails billowed in the wind, and the ship cleaved through the waves, leaving a white trail on the sea.

The two ships disappeared one after the other at the horizon.

Bai Yu stood on the deck of the Dawnbreaker, looking in the direction they had disappeared, and remained silent for a long time.

The sea breeze blew from the front, making his clothes flutter.

The sun had already set below the horizon; half of the sun had sunk into the water, while the other half still floated in the sky.

"captain."

Robin walked up to him, her voice very soft.

"Ok?"

"What are you thinking?"

Bai Yu was silent for a second, then smiled.

"I'm thinking that the world is much bigger than I imagined."

"It's also much more dangerous."

Robin added.

Bai Yu nodded.

"Yes. It's much more dangerous."

He turned and looked at everyone on the deck.

Rangiku has fully regained consciousness and is inspecting her Zanpakuto, its blade gleaming coldly in the setting sun.

Violet stood beside the mast, posing, her eyes gazing into the distance, her pupils reflecting something only she could see.

Artoria sat in a corner of the deck, wiping her holy sword with a cloth.

Retsu Unohana picked up Kanna and stood up. Kanna was still asleep and had no idea what had just happened.

Chapter 196 Wano Country

Bai Yu looked at them, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

These people followed him.

They trusted him.

They were willing to go with him to a dangerous place, face a dangerous enemy, and do a dangerous thing.

It was not because of orders, not because of interests, not for any utilitarian reason.

Simply because he is everything to them.

Bai Yu took a deep breath and then said loudly:

"Full speed ahead! Destination—Wano Country!"

"Oh!!!"

"Set off!!!"

The sails of the Dawn unfurled in the wind, the ship began to accelerate, cleaving through the waves and sailing into the distance.

The sun sank into the sea, the sky turned deep blue, and the first star lit up on the horizon.

The sea remained silent, as if silently preparing for what was to come.

Meanwhile, in a faraway land, a colossal, enraged prince is sharpening his divine weapon, preparing to declare war on the entire world.

He didn't know what awaited him.

But he wants to destroy the world government.

He would use blood and fire to seek justice for his father.

Meanwhile, Bai Yu, Shanks, and Mihawk—the strongest group in the world—are heading towards him.

They wanted to stop him before he went to his destruction.

The war has not yet begun.

But the storm has already arrived.

The sun had completely sunk below the sea, the sky had turned from orange-red to deep purple, and the first star shone on the horizon, like someone had poked a tiny hole in dark silk, letting out a sliver of light.

Bai Yu stood at the bow of the Dawn, one hand in his pocket and the other casually resting on the gunwale, letting the sea breeze tousle his hair.

His eyes were looking into the distance, but what was reflected in his pupils was not the sea in front of him, but something much more distant.

He wondered who would be summoned next, and when he could break through the barriers of space and time to enter the world of Naruto. He was thinking about Elbaf, and his hazy memories told him that Elbaf was quite important.

"What are you thinking about?"

Violet's voice came from behind, softly, as if afraid of disturbing something.

Bai Yu didn't turn around, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Thinking of Elbaf."

"Elbaf?"

Violet walked over to him and stood beside him. The sea breeze lifted her skirt, making her look like a blooming flower in the night.

"Red said that the warriors of Elbaf are the strongest race in the world, and Loki is the strongest among them."

Violet paused for a moment before saying, "But I just saw Unohana's expression."

"She seemed very excited."

"It's not excitement."

Bai Yu shook his head.

"It's hunger, a hunger for battle. Of course, Sister Hua is that kind of person. This world isn't that big, and with Sister Hua's abilities, there aren't many things that can satisfy her."

He turned his head and looked at Violet.

"Sister Hua is a very strange woman. She is as gentle as a glass of warm water, but when you get close to her, you can always smell a faint scent of blood on her. The scent is very faint, so faint that it is almost non-existent, but if you smell it carefully, you will find that it does not come from any external thing. It comes from her bones."

Violet didn't speak, she just looked at him quietly.

"She has been waiting."

Bai Yu continued.

"Waiting for a certain day, a certain scene, but I have a feeling that in Elbaf, in front of Loki, we might see Sister Hua fight even more frantically."

Violet reached out and gently took Bai Yu's hand.

"No matter what she is like."

She said it softly but firmly.

"She is our partner."

Bai Yu looked at her and then smiled: "Of course, you are all my wings."

Bai Yu gripped her hand tightly.

The night grew deeper, the stars multiplied, and the sea was pitch black, with only the Dawn's bowlight casting a fan-shaped halo in front of it.

The Dawn sailed on the sea for five days.

For the past five days, the sea has been very calm, so calm that it's almost unsettling.

There were no storms, no sea kings, no navy, and not a single ship belonging to any other pirate crew.

It was as if the entire world consisted of only the Dawn Ship, drifting alone on the boundless sea.

Bai Yu spent most of his time standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the sea ahead.

His gaze never lingers in one place for too long; he is engaged in his own unique cultivation, and when his strength reaches a certain level, meditation becomes essential.
