"You drank with the Pirate King?"
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at the old man beside him.
Compared to the phrase he kept repeating about taking his anger out on him, Bai Yu was more curious about whether this guy had ever drunk with Roger.
In his memory, Bai Yu only seemed to recall that Kozuki Oden and Whitebeard had once drunk with Roger.
Of course, there might be some unknown aspects to this.
After all, Roger was the Pirate King, and he had plenty of stories to tell about drinking and bragging.
Even the ancient gods of the Sky Island once said that they had drunk wine with a man named Roger.
The moment Brook opened his mouth, he was referring to that young man who was not very well-known.
This is an even more little-known secret.
"What's wrong? Don't you believe me?"
The old man turned and glanced at Bai Yu, then burst into hearty laughter.
"Haha, it's understandable that you don't believe it. After all, that happened thirty years ago. Who would remember me back then?"
"I'm old, but since I've finally stepped out of this world, I want to remind everyone of the horrors of thirty years ago."
As the old man spoke, he downed his drink in one gulp and slammed the glass down on the table.
Bang!
The immense force was unleashed, and the wine glass in his hand could not withstand it, shattering with a crash.
"Hey, old man, how dare you get sawdust on me? I'm a pirate with a bounty of fifty million, you're asking for death."
A bald pirate with a hideous tattoo covering half his face drew a large, gleaming sword from his waist and turned to slash at the old man's back.
They moved so fast that they closed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Bai Yu paused for a moment while drinking, then quickly shook his head with a smile.
The old man couldn't help but chuckle.
"You little rascal, you're not even afraid of this kind of situation. Looks like you're something else."
"However, next, I will take you to see what the great figures of the old era were like."
Bang!
The old man caught the incoming broadsword with a backhand motion.
The scene that should have been bloody did not unfold before the eyes of the pirates.
Especially when they saw the jet-black Armament Haki spreading from the old man's hand, the leader of the pirates couldn't help but change his expression.
"That's Armament Haki!"
"My lord, please have mercy! I am a member of the Big Mom Pirates!"
As a haven for pirates, the New World's training in Two Types of Haki far surpasses that of the Four Blues.
However, not everyone understands how to cultivate Two Types of Haki.
However, possessing Two Types of Haki makes one far superior to ordinary pirates.
At least, upon seeing this unassuming old man with an imposing physique, they never imagined that he was someone who understood Two Types of Haki.
"What Big Mom Pirates? Let alone now, even in the past, that crazy woman would rank behind me when it comes to madness on this sea."
"If this is what they call a new era after thirty years, then I am truly disappointed."
The old man laughed loudly, his five fingers suddenly clenched, and a cold light flashed in his hand. The seemingly exceptionally sharp broadsword snapped in two.
Meanwhile, the fragments remaining in the old man's hand were casually tossed away.
Pfft!
A sharp, piercing sound rang out instantly.
The blade fragments that flew out of his hand grew more than ten times their original size, much to the astonishment of the crowd.
If, just a moment ago, the old man had a broken knife in his hand...
Now, he flung out a barrage of blades.
These blades were enormous, and their speed and power were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
The pirate, who was already standing close by and had a bounty of fifty million, was the first to be cut in half by the shards of the blade.
A spray of blood splattered everywhere, and half of his body was thrown into the air.
Those hiding behind had nowhere to hide and were also cut in two.
In an instant, screams erupted throughout the tavern as dozens of people collapsed into pools of blood.
The huge tavern was instantly filled with the stench of blood.
Seeing the old man before them who had killed a large number of people without a word, the pirates in the arena, who had always considered themselves to be risk-takers and not to care about their lives, fell silent and couldn't help but shiver.
In their eyes, death is not frightening.
But when faced with an enemy who could wipe them out like harvesting leeks with a mere wave of their hand, who would willingly go to their death knowing it's a suicide mission?
"Haha, kid, did you see that clearly? This is the new era that everyone's talking about. That ' War Demon Bai Yu,' didn't he say at Marine Headquarters that he was ushering in some new era?"
"If this is the new era, it's far worse than our old one."
"Kid, let me ask you, between this old man and that War Demon Bai Yu, whose words are more convincing!"
The old man, completely unconcerned about the bloodshed before him, burst into hearty laughter.
Not to mention the infamous reputation of the Big Mom Pirates, who don't even put the Pirate Emperor in their eyes, would they care about a mere Four Emperors?
Faced with the old man's question, Bai Yu felt somewhat helpless.
Is this forcing someone to fawn over their own worth?
Feeling the old man's gaze, Bai Yu helplessly finished his drink.
"You were indeed very strong in the old era."
"We were stronger in the old era?" The old man paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"You little rascal, you really know how to say things that we old folks like to hear. But I think you're just flattering me; you probably just think I'm bragging after drinking."
"However, since we're on the way, you brat, come with me to see the island that's been burning with anger for thirty years!"
After saying this, the old man reached out and grabbed Bai Yu, placing him on his shoulder before rushing into the tavern.
The pirates along the way were already terrified; none of them dared to utter a single word to stop them.
Despite its seemingly old and large size, it didn't give off any sense of being a burden and quickly darted dozens of meters away.
This speed left even the pirates who claimed to have bounties of hundreds of millions or even tens of millions speechless.
Listening to the gusts of wind rushing past his ears, Bai Yu sat on the old man's shoulders, helplessly took out a bottle of liquor, and took a swig of strong liquor.
Is this considered being held hostage?
If word gets out and the outside world knows that the Pirate Emperor, one of the Four Emperors, was kidnapped by someone from an old era, then...
This would probably absolutely astound the world.
However, after the brief encounter and the old man's methods, Bai Yu could guess who this old man, who kept saying he had been suppressing his evil fire for thirty years, was.
Known as the World Destroyer, with a bounty of 500 million Beli, Bandy World possesses the power of the More-More Fruit.
An entity capable of sinking an entire island with a single shot.
