Monsters of the old era?
Trafalgar Law, Zoro, and the others were somewhat surprised.
They had long been familiar with World's rebellious mentality from the old era.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone mad and gone on a rampage in the Sabaody Archipelago so soon after escaping from Impel Down Great Prison thirty years later.
Now, this old era, which was like a madman, has actually surrendered on its own.
They even referred to each other as figures comparable to Whitebeard and Roger.
This is a Pirate King, the pinnacle of the old era.
Even someone like this is only on equal footing with this monster from the old era.
So what exactly is he?
No!
Did such people really exist in the old days?
" World, you didn't create this person from the old era just to save face after losing to Captain Bai Yu, did you? Be careful, those young people will look down on you."
The Cat Viper, with a pipe dangling from its mouth, grinned and said...
The people around them also started to laugh and jeer.
However, after all this, World had completely lost his previous hostility. He laughed loudly, not taking it to heart at all, and plopped down next to Nightingale, letting him treat his wounds while he spoke.
"You're neither too old nor too young. I heard you were on Whitebeard and Roger's ships, but it's probably for the best that you haven't, because you're still too young."
"Looking back further, that guy was probably sent to Impel Down Great Prison even earlier than me, at least thirty years ago."
"A kid like you probably didn't even have many hairs back then."
hair?
The Cat Viper was speechless for a moment, looked down at its fur, and a thought involuntarily popped into its mind.
Is this considered sparsely hairy?
However, the thought had barely surfaced when the Cat Viper quickly dismissed it, a hint of embarrassment flashing across its face.
This hair is not that hair.
However, what the Cat Viper was more concerned about was who exactly was the person World so highly praised.
"Is it Red Count Field?"
Bai Yu took a sip of his drink and said with a smile.
"About half a year ago, I ran into him on Level 6 of Impel Down, but that guy chickened out and hid in a corner, just watching me take care of the others."
"I reckon he was genuinely worried that I would lay a hand on him, an old man."
World froze, then spat out his drink.
"You're the guy who was so Haki he almost scared the pants off him?"
Just now, he had planned to keep everyone in suspense, waiting until no one could guess before teasing them about not having enough hair, and then revealing this monster that few people in the old era knew about.
I never expected that Bai Yu would give such an amazing answer right away.
Most importantly, he clearly remembered that when they left Impel Down Great Prison, World and Red Count Redfield, two old men barely clinging to life, had helped each other.
I once asked Redfield what his wish was to be fulfilled.
At the time, Redfield simply replied that he would like to meet that Haki kid who almost scared him to death if he had the chance.
Of course, there's a fair amount of exaggeration in those words.
However, the fact that Redfield could offer such a self-deprecating assessment is enough to show that what happened in Impel Down Great Prison more than half a year ago was something that people were terrified of.
Otherwise, when the others escaped from the Impel Down that day, upon hearing the name of War Demon Bai Yu, they would exchange bewildered glances, their faces turning ashen.
The prisoners held on the sixth floor remained completely silent about the matter.
The story behind this seems to be quite complex.
No wonder, when I was frozen, I vaguely regained consciousness for a moment.
It seems we've overlooked something very important.
It was precisely because of the hesitation and awkwardness shown by the prisoners on Level 6 of Impel Down when mentioning Bai Yu's name that World kept bringing up the challenge against Bai Yu.
" World, you'd better sit properly, or I won't treat your injuries." Nightingale glared at him and tightened the bandages she was applying, causing the fearless World to scream in pain.
After a long pause, World finally came to his senses. He glanced resentfully at Nightingale, who showed him no respect whatsoever as the captain, before reluctantly changing the subject.
"Kid, I lost this battle fair and square. I have to blame Redfield for it. Why couldn't he have kept quiet about what happened more than half a year ago? If I had known he was talking about you, I wouldn't have bothered to go looking for trouble with you."
"However, this is for the best. The knot in my heart that I've been holding in for over thirty years has been untied. From now on, whether or not I cause any more trouble is no longer important. For the rest of my days, I'll just stick close to you, kid, and spend more time with these old buddies."
"As for you, little brat, I'm sure you won't let this good opportunity slip by, will you?"
"What's that saying? You deserve a beating!"
Looking at Wald, whose sharp edges had been completely worn away, devoid of any of the ferocity he once displayed World Destroyer, and who had even mocked World not long ago.
Bai Yu took a swig of his drink and rolled his eyes helplessly.
"That's definitely the idea. Hopefully, he really deserves to be cut!"
"Ding-dong, congratulations host, you have defeated World Destroyer World and gained 3,000 System Points."
A clear, ethereal system notification sounded.
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow involuntarily.
I just fought World, not because I was bored, but to see if World was worth a hit.
The main reason is to see if it's worthwhile to grind for System Points with World, this old-era team that just suffered a defeat.
In retrospect, this farce turned out to be a worthwhile gamble.
This gave Bai Yu an extra 3,000 System Points for no reason.
However, compared to the 10,000 points I got from Ryokugyu half a day ago, the old era really is outdated.
After all, in the original work, Whitebeard, who was known as the pinnacle of the old era, could not unleash 60-70% of his fighting power during the Paramount War.
These greatly diminished injuries and aged physique are enough to show that no matter how strong a person is, they probably cannot escape the ravages of time.
It is precisely for this reason that Red Count Redfield, who is said to be comparable to Whitebeard and Pirate King Roger in the old era, is so determined to find that legendary Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.
The purpose was to use the power of the Devil Fruit to maintain himself in his prime.
Only in this way can we maintain our peak performance forever.
According to World, the main reason he attacked Sabaody Archipelago this time was Redfield's influence.
As someone who was almost invincible in the old era, doing such a thing made Bai Yu think of an absurd guess.
