Seeing Rayleigh staring at him with wide eyes, Bai Yu chuckled dryly and didn't say anything more.
This rare trip to the Sabaody Archipelago not only yielded the Flying Thunder God Technique, but also allowed me to pick up Dark King Rayleigh, making it a very fruitful haul.
"Alright, let's go back and meet up with World first, then head to Punk Hazard, and finally find Whitebeard!"
Bai Yu snapped out of his reverie and said calmly.
Looking for Whitebeard?
Rayleigh paused, somewhat surprised.
"Kid, what do you want with Whitebeard? Don't tell me the Five Elders have their eyes on that old codger too?"
Bai Yu nodded silently.
"Last time, Whitebeard helped me hold off Kaido, Five Elders have long considered them a thorn in their side."
"After the battle in Wano Country, the Five Elders have been hesitant to attack me, which means they have other plans."
"Besides the Marine Headquarters, which is a thorn in our side, I think the other one should be the Whitebeard Pirates."
"Since they can't deal with me, then they should eliminate any forces that could potentially become my allies. The Five Elders have the guts to do that."
Rayleigh's expression immediately darkened. Looking at Shakky, who was silently nodding, he instantly understood that this matter might really happen.
However, being from the same era, Whitebeard was an old rival whom the former Pirate King Roger valued highly, and he was a force to be reckoned with, comparable to the Roger Pirates.
If the Five Elders really dare to Whitebeard Pirates.
Does that mean that even the Five Elders don't take his former Roger Pirates seriously?
This was somewhat difficult for Rayleigh, who had always regarded his former pirate crew as an honor, to accept.
Bai Yu also saw through Rayleigh's thoughts, took out another bottle of wine, patted Rayleigh on the shoulder, and said.
"Don't worry, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. The Whitebeard Pirates are comparable to the former Pirate King King's crew. The Five Elders alone will probably have a hard time dealing with them. I think someone else will be involved in this mess."
"Oh, right, next, I need you to do something for me, something only you can do, and I plan to have the Whitebeard Pirates..."
As the string of words fell, the almost inaudible voice at the end caused Rayleigh's pupils to dilate slightly, and his face to show disbelief.
Three days later.
Only seven or eight nautical miles from Punk Hazard, the massive, island-like Groseade was rapidly cutting through the waves.
"It's so cold!"
Carina, who was on the observation deck, suddenly shivered.
Following the cold wind, what she saw made Carina's pupils shrink sharply, revealing a face full of disbelief.
"What is this? Half ice and half lava..." Nami, who had been observing the wind direction, was also dumbfounded.
No!
It should be said that, apart from Bai Yu, everyone present was stunned.
The vast island was now a scene of stark contrasts, one of ice and fire. If one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they probably wouldn't have believed that what they were witnessing was real.
"We've arrived." Bai Yu stretched, took a swig of strong liquor, and looked up at the island.
Looking at the battle before him, which had completely changed the landscape and climate, Bai Yu understood even more clearly that this was the ability of the two Admiral to go all out and use their Logia Devil Fruit abilities to the extreme.
You can change everything if you want to.
Looking across the ocean, the power of Logia Devil Fruit can definitely be described as extremely domineering.
This is why Logia Devil Fruit are relatively rare.
It gained even more popularity!
"Boss, is Punk Hazard just ahead?" Trafalgar Law Law's expression changed slightly, and he quickly pulled up information about the island.
This is an abandoned naval research base, the place where the mad scientist Caesar once conducted his experiments.
While it's not exceptionally barren, it should have a fair amount of woods, grasslands, and other vegetation.
However, all of that has now been erased.
Trees, rocks, and grasslands were all completely transformed into lava and ice.
The fact that two equally matched forces divided the entire island demonstrates what the three strongest and most powerful combat forces of the Marine Headquarters truly are.
"Boss, are we going to go ashore?" Carina couldn't help but ask.
"Boss, if you need to land on the island, I can use ROOM, but this ship isn't what it used to be; I can't carry it." Trafalgar Law glanced at the island-like vessel and a bitter look appeared on his face.
Since Bai Yu brought World under his command and replaced his flagship with the Groseade, he has never again been so extravagant as to unleash ROOM along with the Groseade.
The reason for asking this question now is mainly because I'm worried that Bai Yu might act impulsively and force me to do it against my will.
"No need!" Bai Yu took a sip of strong liquor and shook his head in refusal.
" The Blue Ogre and Dorry are large and easily spotted. When Admiral fight, their power is immense. If anything goes wrong, they might attack us too. So, for this trip, Luo and I are sufficient."
Bai Yu had learned about Akainu and Aokiji's battle on Punk Hazard along the way.
After ten days and ten nights of fierce fighting, a victor was finally decided.
Even Bai Yu himself admitted that he couldn't handle a high-intensity battle; only Admiral with Logia Devil Fruit ability could sustain it.
Of course, Bai Yu Bai Yu n't be interested in such a long and tedious battle.
Hearing this reply, Trafalgar Law secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, your reply really puts my mind at ease. I was worried that if you put me through some kind of hellish training to move the entire Groseade even just one nautical mile, I probably wouldn't be able to handle it."
"Faced with this island, unless one is a god, who else has the ability to move mountains?"
Devil training?
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and subconsciously looked at Trafalgar Law beside him.
"That's a good suggestion, but not for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Trafalgar Law Law's expression froze, and he almost slapped himself twice.
However, Trafalgar Law was a little unsure when he heard Bai Yu's last words.
"Boss, what do you mean? Is there someone on this ship with a space-time fruit ability who can move this behemoth? I can't believe that!"
Trafalgar Law couldn't help but speak up.
However, when Trafalgar Law saw Bai Yu slowly walking out...
He froze on the spot.
Trafalgar Law absolutely refused to believe that anyone else would do such a thing.
However, now that Bai Yu has stepped out from the crowd, an extremely absurd thought couldn't help but pop into Luo's mind.
The captain even steals the dockworkers' jobs?
