I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Beside them, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, Wang Zhi, and Silver Axe were already prepared.

Today, the seven captains will be challenged by other pirates, and the successful ones will become captains directly. Although it is somewhat cruel, it is a tradition of the Rocks Pirates.

After that, once the final captain is chosen, Rocks will fully disclose his plan to the others.

However, deep down he actually hoped to keep the current captain's lineup unchanged.

He had roughly observed these individuals and concluded that they were unlikely to sell his plan, but the others might be different.

Now that he's stirred up such a storm in the New World, he doesn't believe the World Government and the Navy will just sit idly by and wait to be destroyed.

There must be many spies from the Navy, the World Government, and other forces within his pirate crew.

Therefore, before finalizing the operation, Rocks would only let the captains know what they were going to do this time.

"That guy won't run away."

Lockes looked up at the square where people had gathered, then focused his gaze on the distant sea.

He understands Bai Ye; he won't run away, and even if he dies, he will come back to fight to the death.

It's a bit of a pity. He was too weak when he first joined. If it weren't for Bai Ye's good talent and the fact that he was the first to respond, he wouldn't have been able to become the captain.

However, Lockes did give Bai Ye a good lesson. He originally thought that Bai Ye would definitely seek him out for training in the final days, even though there wasn't much time left.

But Bai Ye left, which inevitably made Lockes a little confused, not quite understanding why Bai Ye would make such a choice.

Could it be that there's something outside that can improve strength even more quickly than training by oneself?

"Gurararararar, that guy really won't run away. Speaking of which, he left with John, could it be that John found him a fruit?"

Everyone in the Rocks Pirates knows that Captain John and Byakuya have a good relationship, and that Captain John also collects treasure, so there's a possibility that a Devil Fruit might exist.

If you eat a Devil Fruit, you can gain a significant boost in power in a short period of time.

"Momomomomo, if I eat a piece of trash Devil Fruit, my life will be ruined!"

"Hehehehe, even if he's trash, there's nothing we can do. I bet everyone else will challenge him soon. What a pity, we're about to get a new captain. Speaking of which, how's that brat you brought back, Whitebeard?"

As Shiki spoke, he looked at Whitebeard. The guy he brought back, named Kaido, was actually from the Oni clan, a race that was becoming increasingly rare.

It was Rocks who specifically requested that it be brought back. It was originally intended to be presented to the World Government as collateral for the Celestial Gold. Even Shiki was very interested in this guy.

Unfortunately, it's clear that Lox was brought back not to have himself poached.

Although they joined the Rocks Pirates, they retained their original fleet, and their squadrons belonged to their own pirate crew.

Among the Rocks Pirates, those who still retain their own fleets are Golden Lion, Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, and John.

The White Night Pirates were basically wiped out in battle. Whitebeard didn't want them; he wanted to create a pirate crew entirely composed of his own children. Charlotte Linlin, on the other hand, was even more insane, wanting to give birth to her own pirate crew.

Therefore, after Kaido joined the Rocks Pirates, Shiki immediately tried to recruit him, but he was directly recruited by Rocks and thus joined Rocks' original pirate crew.

But lately, he seems to be getting a little closer to Charlotte Linlin.

Golden Lion glanced at Charlotte Linlin, a cold smile creeping onto his face. This pirate crew was nothing more than a group of strangers.

Moreover, if the major event that Lox mentioned wasn't of interest to him, he would have left with his fleet immediately.

Even Rocks couldn't stop himself if he wanted to leave, after all, he was a flying pirate!

"Never underestimate a person's potential."

Silver Axe is a quiet person, and his relationship with Bai Ye is neither good nor bad. As captains, they have met. His strength is not great, but Silver Axe thinks he has good potential, but he doesn't have much time left.

It's highly likely that Lockes' plan will begin soon.

In his view, if it weren't for that, Lox would have given Bai Ye some time to grow.

"This is too difficult. If it weren't for the captain, he might have wavered in his resolve. It looks like we'll have one less swordsman to face in the future!"

Wang Zhi wiped the greatsword in his hand, speaking with a hint of regret in his eyes.

Among the pirate crew, only Byakuya is a few who are good at swordsmanship and specialize in it. Whitebeard and Shiki both use swords, but most of them use them with Devil Fruit powers attached to them. In Wang Zhi's opinion, they are not pure swordsmen.

Bai Ye has the potential to become a great swordsman just like him, so he has always been optimistic about Bai Ye. However, he wonders if being defeated this time will have an impact on him.

I really don't want to lose a swordsman opponent.

"Momomomomo, that guy's potential can't possibly reach a very high ceiling. I'm actually more optimistic about that little demon!"

Charlotte Linlin's eyes flashed with a glint of light when she spoke of Kaido.

She was thinking that if she had a child with Kaido, then that child would inherit both her and Kaido's advantages as a member of the Oni clan.

That was truly a wonderful start ever!

"You're back! Looks like you really had a great time this trip, tsk tsk tsk."

Rocks chuckled softly, his gaze fixed on the returning ships in the distance. Even from a distance, Rocks' domineering aura allowed him to sense the presence of the two men.

That aura was definitely not what Bai Ye used to have; he seems to have grown a lot since then.

It seems that this time, leaving Baiye was truly due to some extraordinary encounter.

This actually put Rocks at ease. The current captains were just right. He didn't want to see any changes in the captains. The reason he brought Kaido back was because he valued that even if there were changes, he hoped it would be Kaido, not someone else.

Because of the problems he has encountered, Kaido would never collude with the Navy or the World Government. Even if he becomes a captain, it will not affect his plans.

But it would be even better if the captain was still Bai Ye.

"You're really back? Shall we go down too?"

Once they confirmed that Bai Ye had returned, they were about to head out.

Countless people within the pirate crew were already restless.

"Let's go, this time I'll test the strength of the Rocks Pirates!"

Lockes stood up and strode into the square.

After Rocks's modifications, Beehive Island has become a pirate paradise. Everything here is related to pirates, including this dueling arena.

Because there are a total of seven team leaders.

Therefore, there are seven arenas here, and each person can choose the corresponding captain to challenge.

From one to seven, they are the squads corresponding to each captain: 1. Whitebeard, 2. Golden Lion, 3. Charlotte Linlin, 4. Byakuya, 5. Wang Zhi, 6. Captain John, 7. Silver Axe.

The five people who had arrived at the arena each selected their assigned number.

When the five arrived, the surrounding pirates were somewhat bewildered.

There are two more?!

"Captain? Where's Bai Ye? We're going to challenge Bai Ye!"

"That's right! Captain, you can't cover this up! This time you said it had to be fair, fair, fair, damn fair!"

"Did Bai Ye run away with John?"

"Why don't we just go up there? Whoever stands at the very back will become the captain of the Fourth and Sixth Divisions!"

"Haha, I knew Bai Ye would run away. If it weren't for the captain's connections, how could he have become the captain?!"

"You're here! What's the rush?!"

Bai Ye strode forward and then stepped directly onto the arena.

Do these guys still think they're the same people they were a while ago?!

I'm going to teach them a lesson today, no matter what.

"You bastard, I thought you weren't coming!"

"Captain Rocks, hurry up and get started! I can't wait to punch this guy!"

The pirates below the stage couldn't hold back their urge to beat Bai Ye up when they saw his arrogant expression. They felt uncomfortable watching him show off in front of them.

Especially his handsome face, which looks like a pretty boy, makes people want to beat him up.

"Hehehe, Bai Ye, you bastard, if you don't hide, someone might get killed!"

Golden Lion, cigar in mouth, turned to look at Bai Ye. He couldn't understand why Bai Ye had to come back. Couldn't he just forfeit?

Do you really think you can become very strong in just one month?

"You old bastard, Golden Lion, you're still alive, but I'm not going to die. I'll definitely outlive you!"

Bai Ye retorted without hesitation, saying that in the Rocks Pirates, the weak would only be looked down upon.

Even though Bai Ye was weak before, he was not afraid at all. If the Golden Lion insulted him, he would not tolerate it and would directly insult back.

Why was he so brave back then?

joke!

He's always been this brave!

It wasn't because Rocks was protecting him at all!

"Really?"

The Golden Lion gave a strange smile, taking Bai Ye's words as nothing more than arrogance before his death.

There are many people here who are stronger than Bai Ye, not to mention that so many people consider Bai Ye their primary target.

Bai Ye is in for a lot of trouble later.

"I love telling the truth!"

"."

The golden lion turned its head and looked at Bai Ye with a strange expression. It seemed that Bai Ye could always come out with a sentence that it could not understand.

What does "铁铁" mean?

The reduplicated words suddenly sent a chill down Jin Shizi's spine. Could this guy be like the rumors, liking men?

He was so handsome and dashing, especially with his flowing hairstyle, he was the kind of guy who could charm countless girls. If this guy liked men, he would definitely like someone like him.

What the hell!
