Sengoku's expression changed.
If this had happened in the past, Sengoku would have already shoved Garp in the back of the head if he had said something like that.
However, there's a clear sense of indecision now.
After a long pause, he spoke in a deep voice.
" Bai Yu, I will verify these things, so you can rest assured."
"Thank you for disregarding your position and telling us this. However, I still have a request. I originally intended to recommend Aokiji to succeed me as Fleet Admiral, but the Five Elders strongly insisted that Akainu take over, which led to a conflict between the two and ultimately escalated into a decisive battle."
"If possible, I hope you can go and take a look. Regardless of the outcome, if nothing unexpected happens, you don't have to get involved. But if something unexpected does happen, I hope you can intervene for my sake."
If the boy in front of him were still a member of the Marine Headquarters, one of his subordinates, Sengoku would have immediately given Bai Yu orders to do things.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world, otherwise things wouldn't have turned out this way.
"Haha, it's been a long time since I've seen you ask for help, Sengoku. When you do ask for help, you're actually quite sincere. But don't worry, Bai Yu will definitely go..."
Garp burst into laughter, but Sengoku mercilessly stomped on his foot, making him scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Bai Yu glanced helplessly at the disrespectful old man Garp and said, " Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you're too kind. It's nothing, I'll go take a look."
"If there's nothing else, I think you should leave now. If the Five Elders find out, it'll probably cost us some more time to argue."
"By the way, do you need me to spar a couple of times? I definitely won't use my full strength. If anything comes up, you can call me..."
"Don't worry, kid. I have indeed retired, but this kind of small matter is no problem. As for asking you for help, I'm afraid we'll have already taken care of it by the time you arrive. Besides, Garp and I haven't reached that point yet."
Sengoku glared at him, then waved his hand and turned to leave with Garp.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Bai Yu took out a bottle of wine and took another sip.
Bai Yu didn't take Sengoku's rejection to heart.
The ocean is simply too vast, and Bai Yu cannot act as a nanny for anyone, providing 24-hour care.
Perhaps, in the eyes of Sengoku and Garp, he was capable of saying these words.
Their trip here was already worthwhile.
"Ding-dong! Congratulations, host, you have successfully cleared the Hell difficulty dungeon and obtained the S-Class reward Flying Thunder God Technique!"
The long-awaited ethereal notification sound suddenly rang in my mind.
Bai Yu's expression froze, and he stood there stunned.
Is this the "Know Me" system?
Or is it a godsend for someone who's sleepy?
While in the dungeon, Bai Yu was genuinely envious of Tobirama Senju's ability to teleport around so quickly.
He also had the idea of stealing Flying Thunder God Technique.
However, the thought that whether or not he had the talent to learn Space-Time Ninjutsu was one thing, but he wanted to return to the world of Sea King to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.
What if I experience problems adjusting to the new environment?
With this in mind, Bai Yu ultimately gave up the idea of stealing the Flying Thunder God Technique.
However, to Bai Yu's utter surprise, the system suddenly offered this reward.
Originally, Bai Yu was worried that the Five Elders would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs for the Marine Headquarters, and that he would not be able to come to their aid in time.
Now it seems that, regardless of how far the Flying Thunder God Technique can teleport, at least we have another potentially feasible method.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu appeared behind Sengoku and Garp like a ghost.
With the help of the system, he quickly imprinted all the information about the Flying Thunder God Technique Flying Thunder God Formula Technique into his mind onto the sake bottle, then shoved it into the bewildered Sengoku's hand.
"Grandpa, if the Marine Headquarters ever encounters an insurmountable crisis, smash this bottle and shout my name three times, and I'll be there immediately."
What?
Bai Yu, are you kidding us?
Sengoku and Garp were completely bewildered.
He stared intently at Bai Yu.
After confirming several times that Bai Yu was not joking, Sengoku glared at him with a livid face.
"You brat, if I find out you're playing tricks on me, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
"Yeah, Sengoku and I do mixed doubles. Back in the day, Golden Lion and those old guys like World had our share of fun. I hope you, kid, won't get that kind of treatment." Garp glared at him too.
However, despite saying that, the two still treasured and carefully kept the bottle bearing the Flying Thunder God Formula mark.
Only after watching the two aged figures completely disappear from sight did Bai Yu secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Browsing through the Flying Thunder God Technique in his mind, Bai Yu not only resolved a major hidden danger in his heart, but was also surprised by the system's generosity.
Originally, Bai Yu thought that the Flying Thunder God Technique he obtained this time was only at the initial level developed by Tobirama Senju.
However, upon closer inspection, it is clearly a refined version executed by Minato Namikaze and later by Tobirama Senju after his Impure World Reincarnation.
This means that, with the help of this Flying Thunder God Technique, Bai Yu can instantly teleport tens of kilometers, or even hundreds of miles.
However, to be able to reach the Marine Headquarters as quickly as possible at any time and turn the tables on the Five Elders, it would probably require leaving behind many Flying Thunder God Mark along the way.
At the same time, such long-range teleportation would probably require a lot of physical strength.
However, having obtained the Flying Thunder God Technique, Bai Yu has also resolved many of his hidden dangers.
At the same time, the number of things that can be done will also increase.
A jumble of thoughts flashed through my mind.
Bai Yu snapped out of his daze, looked at Rayleigh and Shakky with strange expressions, and instantly understood that the two of them clearly didn't care about the wine bottle from earlier.
However, this is understandable. In their excitement and haste, they simply grabbed whatever was convenient and gave it away.
If he wants to get his money back later, Bai Yu can't afford to lose face like that.
Most importantly, what if the Five Elders really decide to wipe out the Marine Headquarters?
Breaking a wine bottle to call for backup—that's so cool!
Bai Yu found the thought of such a thing wonderful.
"Alright, you little brat, you're even making fun of your own people. I, this old man, am too lazy to waste my breath on you. I want to know, did you come here with ulterior motives?"
Rayleigh rolled his eyes at Bai Yu, who looked like he was savoring the moment, and got straight to the point.
Are you planning to let us on board?
Upon hearing this, Shakky's expression changed; she found it hard to believe that Rayleigh would say such a thing.
Bai Yu was also a little surprised, but quickly smiled and patted Rayleigh on the shoulder.
" Rayleigh, it seems you're still up to no good. I didn't invite you; you insisted on boarding, so I reluctantly agreed. Welcome, old Rayleigh..."
"Pah! You little brat, can't you back down? I've already Gate of Opening, and you still want to take advantage? I really suspect you're just trying to scam old men, getting Sengoku to smash the wine bottle and call for backup—only a fool would do that!"
"If I were from the Sengoku, I'd be the first to smash a wine bottle over your head, to teach you a lesson you won't forget. I can't afford to lose face like that."
