"It's Bai Yu, the Navy's Supernovas. Isuka, how do you know him?"
Smoker suddenly woke up.
Seeing Bai Yu suddenly strike and easily sweep across the entire arena, Smoker's facial muscles twitched involuntarily.
Originally, he planned that next time they met, he would make Bai Yu pay a heavy price.
However, before Bai Yu could pay the price, he was once again publicly slashed and sent flying.
This completely embarrassed Smoker, making it impossible for him to maintain his composure.
" Smoker, let's talk about these things later!"
Isuka's face turned pale. She quickly gestured for the two naval soldiers to help Smoker up, then glanced back at Bai Yu and said...
"However, you're right, he's really strong, and he might actually be able to defeat Fire Fist Ace."
Ace?
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and casually gulped down a mouthful of wine.
As expected, nothing stays hidden forever; it seems that news of his battle with Ace has spread.
However, Bai Yu didn't take this trivial matter to heart and glanced at Smoker.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to interfere in Loguetown's affairs either, but someone just suggested not allowing anyone to leave Loguetown, and that's putting me in a difficult position."
"However, the legendary great pirate is definitely worth a shot!"
A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Bai Yu's face, and the fighting spirit that ran deep in his bones shone through his pupils.
The character unlock progress is almost 20%.
Bai Yu believes that the current Golden Lion is definitely a formidable opponent.
"Haha, what a brat! You actually dared to say I'm worth killing right in front of this admiral. Just for your courage alone, I'm truly impressed."
"Kid, what's wrong? Interested in becoming a pirate? What's the point of being the strongest rookie in the Navy? It's all useless. As long as you join my crew, given time, once I'm gone, you can inherit the strongest Flying Pirates and become the strongest person to rule this sea!"
The rolling voices, like thunder, echoed between heaven and earth without dissipating.
Faced with this unexpectedly offered opportunity, everyone's expression changed drastically.
The Flying Pirates are a long-established and dominant force.
In the previous era, Golden Lion was the one who chased after the Pirate King Roger, driving him to the brink of destruction.
It's fair to say that this one condition of his is enough to tempt many people.
Faced with the Golden Lion's olive branch, even Smoker couldn't help but look at Bai Yu.
" Golden Lion, that's indeed a good suggestion, I accept!"
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly and walked straight out of the crowd.
Everyone's expression changed drastically. Smoker, unable to contain himself, was about to rebuke them, but the words he was about to say were quickly cut off.
"However, that's on the condition that you can defeat me!"
Defeat you?
The Golden Lion paused for a moment, then burst into unrestrained laughter.
"What an interesting brat! Daring to be so arrogant as to challenge this admiral."
"Since you want to know what the power of the old era is, then this admiral will satisfy your curiosity and let you find a place to fight without restraint."
The rolling words echoed between heaven and earth.
Everyone was on edge.
They knew very well that Bai Yu was the key to turning the tide.
However, they were also worried about facing the legendary great pirate.
Will Bai Yu really be able to escape unscathed?
"Go fight on your own turf!"
Bai Yu casually took a swig of his drink and looked up at the floating Sky Island in the sky.
Bai Yu's current status is indeed not yet that of a formal member of the Navy.
However, once he were to clash with a legendary pirate like Shiki the Golden Lion...
Bai Yu knew perfectly well that he might be able to escape unscathed, but Loguetown would definitely be reduced to ruins.
To avoid being caught out upon arriving at Marine Headquarters, Bai Yu preferred to avoid trouble.
"Haha, kid, you really have guts! No wonder you possess Conqueror's Haki!"
The Golden Lion burst into arrogant laughter.
"You ant-like creatures should be thankful you escaped death today, but next time, you probably won't be so lucky."
After saying these words, the Golden Lion turned and left.
The ground beneath Bai Yu's feet also roared and tore apart rapidly, rising into the air.
"Lord Bai Yu, let's go together..."
Carina and the others immediately panicked.
Bai Yu casually took a sip of his drink and said with a smile.
"No need. You go up there. I'll have to take care of you. This is the most worthwhile guy I've encountered in the East Blue. I want to fight him without hesitation."
"If I don't return in three days, you should go with my grandfather to the Marine Headquarters and wait for me there."
The words were carried away by the wind.
Bai Yu stood on the rock and was quickly transported into the floating Sky Island by the Golden Lion.
The next moment, before they could even react...
The floating Sky Island, suspended in the sky, shot upwards with a chilling whooshing sound.
They quickly disappeared from sight under everyone's watchful eyes.
"He's gone, the Golden Lion is gone, the legendary great pirate has finally left. It was Bai Yu who sacrificed himself."
Isuka collapsed to the ground, utterly deflated.
However, Carina quickly grabbed his hand and forcefully pulled him up.
"Don't worry, Lord Bai Yu never does anything he's not confident about. If he says he's confident he'll come back, then he definitely is."
"Let's contact Mr. Garp and the Marine Headquarters as soon as possible."
Carina pulled out the phone book Bai Yu had left behind.
Isuka also fell silent.
Despite Carina's words of comfort, Isuka felt uncertain and more guilty.
Facing the legendary great pirate, she really didn't know if Bai Yu could escape unscathed.
But, if I hadn't asked for help in that moment of desperation...
I doubt Bai Yu would fall into such a dead end.
Smoker, standing to the side, also fell silent, his face already ashen, his fists clenched tightly. Only now did he understand why he was known as the strongest in the East Blue.
This is completely useless.
Meanwhile, at the Marine Headquarters dock.
A Dog-Head Warship is rapidly approaching.
Garp stood on the bow deck, eating a senbei (rice cracker) in his hand, occasionally bursting into laughter.
"Haha, Bogard, what do you think Zephyr's expression would be if he saw my grandson, with his extraordinary talent?"
"Would he beg me to let him mentor his grandson?"
"Just thinking about it makes me feel happy."
A series of spittle sprayed from Garp's mouth.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Bogard's usually indifferent face as he looked at the warships that had already docked.
" Mr. Garp, you asked that question hundreds of times on your way back."
"Chief Instructor Zephyr and Fleet Admiral Sengoku are here now. Go and see their expressions for yourself!"
"Haha, Bogard, you're right. I'll go see for myself and find out!" Garp laughed loudly and leaped onto the dock first.
He strode towards Sengoku and Zephyr.
