A day later, the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates will work together.
The news of the Four Emperors Alliance exploded like a thunderclap at sea.
The terrifying shadow of the Rocks Pirates' resurrection, under deliberate manipulation, is gradually brewing on the seas.
What was once covered up by the God Valley World Government has now been widely publicized.
At this moment, the alliance between the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates was brought to the forefront of public opinion.
The feeling was comparable to the major event the day before, when Bai Yu killed the Five Elders Nusjuro in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, announcing the end of the old era and the beginning of a new one.
What's most unimaginable is...
Two weeks ago, the Totto Land Yan (a large banquet venue in Taiwan) set up a trap to kill Bai Yu.
Among the invitations for this alliance between the two major pirate crews was the name of War Demon Bai Yu.
This outrageous invitation is so extreme it's almost breathtaking.
It's completely baffling.
Is this considered Four Emperors Alliance to put pressure on Bai Yu and establish their authority?
Of course, no one knows what Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin's divine actions were aimed at.
They wanted to know more about only one thing.
Faced with this invitation that seems like a trap, will War Demon Bai Yu," still go without hesitation?
Meanwhile, on a stretch of sea in the New World.
A warship was speeding forward through the waves, and not far away, a flamethrower ship flying the Whitebeard Pirates flag was anchored.
" Bai Yu, I never imagined that one day you would leave the Marine Headquarters."
On the deck, Ace looked at the vast sea stretching out before him.
"It seems that once it falls into the hands of the navy, there's no way you can get it out."
"However, what are your plans next? Charlotte Linlin and Kaido of the Beasts formed an alliance, and they've even publicly invited you to a banquet. I'm afraid this is a warning to you."
"Without the Marine Headquarters, do you need someone to back you up?"
Looking for someone to back you up?
Looking at Ace, who had traveled a long way to come here, ostensibly to help him solve his problems, Bai Yu rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Forget it, I know you'll say I have no interest in becoming Whitebeard's son."
"But are you really going to continue searching for Blackbeard? He's no ordinary man."
On that day in Holy Land Mary Geoise, Bai Yu did indeed kill Blackbeard.
This was also to disrupt the historical process of Ace going after Blackbeard.
Unfortunately, just one day later, Bai Yu was surprised to discover from the Big News Morgans that Blackbeard had actually left the Holy Land Mary Geoise alive and well, and left on a World Government ship.
This scene instantly reminded Bai Yu that Blackbeard possessed multiple souls coexisting within him.
This meant he didn't need to rest at all, 24 hours a day.
According to Red-Haired Shanks, Blackbeard has twice the time of an average person.
" Bai Yu, I knew you would reject me."
Ace took a sip of his drink and said.
"I know what you're worried about, but I'm not the same little brother who was defeated by you six months ago."
"You have indeed become as powerful as a monster, but I am no exception."
"Most importantly, Teach is a member of my Second Division. He broke the rules set by my Pops, and I must bring him back. Otherwise, the prestige of the Whitebeard Pirates will become a laughing stock on the high seas."
Looking at Ace's resolute expression, Bai Yu sighed helplessly.
"Alright then, since you've made up your mind, be careful from now on."
"I've almost reached my destination. Are you leaving now?"
destination?
Ace's expression froze. He was genuinely surprised that Bai Yu, who had just left the Marine Headquarters, had traveled hundreds of miles to this godforsaken place.
However, it was precisely for this reason that Ace was curious about why Bai Yu had come here.
" Bai Yu, what are you doing here? That small island over there looks like Han'erbana, a place where pirates live."
Ace glanced at the Log Pose, then, using his clumsy navigation skills to compare it with the map, finally figured out the truth.
"I'm here to find someone. If things go smoothly, I might be able to add another crew member, which will make it easier to escape in the future."
Bai Yu smiled as he looked ahead at the islands that were gradually becoming clearer.
"Are you looking for crew members?"
Ace's expression froze for a moment, then he quickly smiled and patted Bai Yu on the shoulder.
"The guy you've set your sights on is probably no ordinary person. And since he can easily escape, he must be Devil Fruit User."
" Bai Yu, as you know, I just joined the Whitebeard Pirates and became the Second Division Captain. My subordinates are still a bit lacking in strength. You don't mind if I get involved and try to recruit some of them from you, do you?"
Kidnapping people?
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstily.
"Heh, that's a strange guy. If you can take him away, I certainly have no objection. But please don't say anything about becoming Whitebeard's son. I'm worried that it would embarrass Whitebeard."
Bai Yu was very familiar with Whitebeard's catchphrase.
Upon seeing someone they like, they immediately say they'd treat them like their son.
If someone who lacks a father's love were to hear these words, they might be moved to tears.
However, if the other person doesn't lack love at all, then it becomes awkward.
Ace's expression froze instantly, clearly having his weakness exposed by Bai Yu. He quickly glared at him and said...
"Shut up! This is Pops's tradition, and I can't disgrace it."
"However, before that, Bai Yu, did you promise Jinbe and the others that the Sun Pirates would be incorporated into your forces?"
"If you agree, then don't compete with me for the next selection."
Along the way, the ship became noticeably more lively due to Ace's presence.
However, no matter how much Ace pressed him for details, Bai Yu did not reveal who he was recruiting next.
This undoubtedly made Ace's heart itch with curiosity, wishing he could fly to the island immediately and unveil the mystery of this person.
With this sense of urgency, by the time the warships approached the shore, it was already dark.
Bai Yu had long since replaced his naval uniform with ordinary civilian attire, and a white cloth was wrapped around his head to completely cover his face.
This time, Bai Yu came to invite new companions and did not want to reveal his identity.
At the same time, we don't want any problems to arise at this critical juncture, hindering the major events to come.
Hannabaru is a small island in the Grand Line inhabited by pirates.
Both the architecture and the atmosphere are imbued with a strong Eastern European feel.
When Bai Yu and Ace set foot on the island, a banquet had already been held in every corner of the island.
