Can Bai Yu Defeat Them Without Abilities?
"From my knowledge, there is absolutely no one who can defeat all of us without using any abilities."
Rayleigh's mind raced through all the monsters he had encountered in his lifetime—none of them fit the bill.
Forget Devil Fruit abilities.
The pinnacle of power belonged to only two men:
• Gol D. Roger – The ultimate warrior, one who had pushed Conqueror's Haki to an unparalleled level, allowing him to hear the Voice of All Things.
• Monkey D. Garp – A man who perfected Armament Haki and raw physical combat to the absolute limit, to the point where even the strongest warriors couldn't help but admire him.
Even they…
Even if they both fought together, they couldn't defeat an entire army of top-tier fighters on their own.
A battle royale wasn't just a matter of stacking power—it was a game of strategy.
Rayleigh glanced at the fighters gathered before him:
• Himself and Hawkeye Mihawk
• Doflamingo, Crocodile, Moria, Enel
• The Four Sweet Commanders (Katakuri, Cracker, Smoothie, and Snack)
• Perospero, Daifuku, Oven
• Cavendish, Rob Lucci, Kaku, and the rest of CP9
With so many powerhouses, even with Future Sight, one couldn't dodge everything.
If one distracted, the others would attack.
If they fought in shifts, even Kaido himself would get exhausted.
"So, what the hell is Bai Yu planning to do?"
No one understood.
Could it be that Bai Yu was intentionally going to lose to boost their morale?
The Five-Day Wait
The group could do nothing but wait for five days.
And strangely enough, a small part of them hoped for a miracle to happen.
Be invincible, Captain.
Because only absolute invincibility could fuel their ambition to overthrow the World Government.
Meanwhile, Nami and the other women were not on Baiyun Island—Bai Yu had temporarily sent them to Beast Island, close to Amazon Lily.
Once the Marineford War ended, he would bring them back.
Or rather…
Once he obtained the Lion Fruit, he would return with all of them.
For now, all the girls would focus on training and studying.
True Strength Cannot Rely Solely on Abilities
Bai Yu leaned back and thought.
"Relying on abilities alone won't truly convince them."
Every time he fought a top-tier warrior, their only reaction was shock at his Devil Fruit abilities.
Even Big Mom, after kneeling before him, had screamed:
"I'M NOT CONVINCED!"
If even Big Mom wasn't convinced, how could Haki-based powerhouses—those who relied on raw skill—ever truly accept him?
So…
Bai Yu chose to evolve.
If he had a cheat system, he might as well go all in.
The First Reward: Gravity Training Space
"System, let's start with a lottery!"
Ding! Detected: Charlotte Galette has joined as a crew member/subordinate. Initiating world lottery…
Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained: Gravity Training Room!
A gravity training room?
Training in high gravity was certainly an effective way to accelerate strength development.
Not bad.
But one room wasn't enough.
It needed an upgrade.
Ding! Optimization Triggered!
Gravity Training Room has been upgraded to: Gravity Space!
Gravity Space:
• A special dimension the same size as the real world.
• Bai Yu can set space gates to allow his crew to enter.
• The environment, gravity levels, and regions can be customized.
• Maximum gravity: 10,000x normal gravity.
10,000x gravity?!
That was instant death for any normal human.
Even Bai Yu wouldn't die, thanks to his Immortality, but he wouldn't be able to move either.
Still, this was perfect.
Now, everyone in his crew could train in gravity-based combat and rapidly grow stronger together.
More importantly…
He had a new instant-kill move.
Space Transfer + 10,000x Gravity = Instant Death.
Logia users? They wouldn't even be able to escape!
"System, continue!"
The Second Reward: Resurrection Coin
Ding! Detected: Charlotte Pudding has joined as a crew member/subordinate. Initiating world lottery…
Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained a Concept Ability: Resurrection Coin!
Bai Yu's eyes lit up.
A Concept Ability?!
His first one was the 100% Hand-to-Hand Strike, which made him absolutely unbeatable in direct combat.
"Resurrection Coin…?"
He checked the details:
Resurrection Coin:
• Can resurrect any creature from any era with pre-set conditions.
• Customizable traits: Age, height, knowledge, and even combat strength.
• Cannot exceed Bai Yu's base combat strength.
A true resurrection.
But honestly…
It wasn't very useful right now.
At least not yet.
For now, Bai Yu preferred to focus on Death Recovery instead.
However…
One name suddenly popped into his head.
Kuina.
Was it worth reviving her?
Bai Yu swore it wasn't because he wanted a twin version of Tashigi.
Absolutely not.
It just bothered him—how did she die so easily?
She fell from a few meters and hit her head? That's it?
Even Kaya, a frail noble girl, wouldn't die from that.
Bai Yu sighed.
"Ultimate plot-induced death."
Kuina's swordsmanship talent was incredible, but people said she couldn't be the world's strongest because she was a girl.
What kind of nonsense was that?
A swordsman's strength came down to three things:
1. Power
2. Speed
3. Skill
Any one of these, when pushed to the extreme, could lead to absolute dominance.
Strength isn't the only path.
Bai Yu shook his head.
He had more important things to focus on.
Ultimate Power Surge – Bai Yu's Evolution
"System, fuse all power!"
Ding! Detected crew members/subordinates: Pudding, Galette, Rayleigh, Mihawk, Charlotte Linlin, Enel, Crocodile, Doflamingo, Katakuri, Smoothie, Perospero, and over a thousand others… Initiating Power Fusion…
A radiant light engulfed Bai Yu.
His body, spirit, will, potential, memory, talent, wisdom, battle sense, and experience all surged.
It was an unprecedented breakthrough.
One day.
Three days.
Five days.
BOOM!
A terrifying shockwave erupted, obliterating everything in the surrounding area.
Final Status Update
• Physique: Six Stars
• Spirit: Six Stars
• Swordsmanship: Five and a Half Stars
• Haki: Beyond the Top
• Abilities: Too many to count
"Finally…"
Bai Yu opened his eyes.
A new era had begun.
And he was at its center.
