IW: Chapter 189 - The Impact of Bai Ye Becoming the World's Most Dangerous Man!
Bai Ye held the Devil Fruit in his hand, feeling unsure whether to take it or not.
This Devil Fruit had a high status in the early stages, but later on, it became so undesirable that even dogs wouldn't eat it; every attack seemed to carry the effect of the Mera Mera no Mi.
However, this was just a running gag. In reality, Logia-type Devil Fruits still needed to be used effectively with Haki.
After Ace ate the Devil Fruit, he genuinely didn't practice any Haki and was constantly protected after joining the Whitebeard Pirates.
Since this Devil Fruit was with him, it seemed Ace wouldn't neglect his Haki in the future.
However, Bai Ye would not eat this Devil Fruit.
But...
Bai Ye had a question.
"System, why did I get the Mera Mera no Mi, but Ace's fate hasn't been changed by me?"
Since the Mera Mera no Mi was with him, Ace's fate should have changed at this moment; he wouldn't be able to eat it!
"Ding! Ace's turning point in fate is not related to the Mera Mera no Mi."
A turning point in fate?
Does it refer to being captured by Blackbeard, joining the Whitebeard Pirates, or being killed by Akainu?
So, changing a character's fate requires starting from changing their turning point?
Bai Ye suddenly realized something. No wonder he received a reward for Golden Lion last time. Golden Lion's turning point in life was likely that sea battle.
After his defeat, and with the ship's rudder stuck in his head, he became completely incapacitated.
And it was even considered a reward when he killed Roger, that abnormal guy.
But if he hadn't eaten the Mera Mera no Mi, perhaps he would have trained Haki, and then he wouldn't have been so easily defeated by Blackbeard?
Shaking his head, Bai Ye eventually stopped thinking about it. It seemed he couldn't rely on the System to provide him with other people's items to earn rewards.
He was still wondering if the System brought him other people's Devil Fruits or weapons, wouldn't he be able to keep getting draws?
"Old John, I'll leave these people to you for now."
After returning to Wano Country, Bai Ye released all the people he had brought from Ohara.
He pondered for a while and finally decided to entrust these people to Old John.
He was the most suitable person here.
Others would either be too saintly and might let these people go, or they would be a bit perverse, enjoying torture and other such things. So, after some thought, Bai Ye finally decided to hand them over to his sworn brother, Old John.
"Hey, am I a babysitter?"
A hint of displeasure flashed across Old John's face. He had to manage money and people.
What did he think he was?
"I recently heard that a treasure was discovered in a certain place."
"Heh heh, do you think I care about that little bit of treasure?"
Old John snorted. He wouldn't be blinded by such a small treasure.
He was no longer the person he used to be!
"Too bad, they are historians who have sailed to many places and know the locations of many treasures, even ancient ones. If you don't care..."
Before Bai Ye could finish speaking, Old John's expression immediately changed. He then warmly grasped Bai Ye's hand and said, "We're sworn brothers, you know. Your business is my business. I'm a professional at judging people!"
What a joke!
This wasn't just a small amount of treasure!
These people could really make him a fortune!
So Old John agreed to the matter without a second thought.
"Tone it down a bit. I still prefer your untamed look."
Bai Ye patted Old John's shoulder. This guy was indeed a mercenary.
"Big Brother, how did you know what I was thinking just now?"
Before being led away, Robin approached Bai Ye and asked curiously.
Before she even spoke, Bai Ye knew her thought about wanting him to take Sauro away.
"Because I can read minds."
"Really?"
Robin's eyes widened, her heart filled with curiosity. Was this also a Devil Fruit ability?
"Of course, just like what you're thinking right now is 'How can he be so amazing? Is it a Devil Fruit?'"
It's true!
"But I usually don't read minds."
"Mm-hmm, I knew it!"
Robin patted her chest, a hint of relief flashing across her face.
Just now, she was afraid that her little secrets would always be seen through in the future.
"Big Brother, thank you."
Robin said, her face full of gratitude.
Just now in Kamui Space, Robin realized that if Bai Ye hadn't appeared, all of Ohara would have been killed, and she would have only seen her Mama once, and died without even knowing her identity.
She had talked a lot with Olvia in Kamui Space, things she had prepared for a long, long time to tell her mother.
As they spoke in Kamui Space, they hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"No need to thank me. If you must thank me, just help me with some things in the future."
Bai Ye stroked her head. Why say such empty words? Let's be practical; just do things well in the future!
"Mm-hmm, I will!"
Robin nodded seriously. Indeed, Robin, who hadn't experienced darkness, was truly easy to fool!
"What is the truth hidden by the World Government?!"
After Morgan spread the newspaper all over the world.
The whole world exploded.
Ohara had disappeared, which was confirmed by many people from the West Blue.
Bai Ye's appearance in the latter half also proved that the people of Ohara had been taken away by Bai Ye.
At the same time, the truth that the World Government had tried so hard to hide became the most discussed topic recently.
No matter how much the World Government tried to stop it, it was useless. People continued to discuss it as they pleased.
And this also gave the World Government a huge headache.
"Imu has said that the priority now is to deal with Bai Ye."
Currently, the World Government was not planning to do anything else but to fully attack Bai Ye!
As soon as Bai Ye was found, he was to be eliminated.
They believed that if the five of them attacked together, along with the Admirals and others, they would surely be able to eliminate Bai Ye.
"The most crucial thing now is that we don't know Bai Ye's current location!"
They had searched for a long time, but they couldn't find any trace of Bai Ye.
"This time, he took so many people from Ohara; finding him will be much easier than before!"
Saint Jeygarsia Saturn said slowly.
Previously, Bai Ye was just one person. As Bai Ye continued to appear and recruit more people, his chances of exposure increased.
They only needed to follow the people of Ohara, and once they discovered their traces, they would be able to confirm Bai Ye's location.
Moreover, he explicitly stated that he wanted to study history, so as long as they found the location of the Poneglyphs and ambushed their people there, they could also get information on Bai Ye.
"It's too passive. We need to plant an undercover agent by his side."
"Alright, isn't there a talented individual recently cloned from that woman's genes? They haven't been used yet!"
"Stussy?"
They had originally planned to send her to the New World's underworld to gather intelligence.
But now, the New World's underworld was no longer their target.
"Alright, and have Kong quickly get promoted. Those Celestial Dragons are getting more and more anxious!"
Pite Saint said, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing across his face.
With them present, those Celestial Dragons were still worried that Bai Ye would attack Mary Geoise, constantly clamoring for Kong to come to Mary Geoise to protect them.
Originally, they had planned to punish the Marines for these incidents.
But now, Bai Ye's situation was very special, and until Bai Ye was dealt with, the World Government was not going to take action against the Marines.
"Then how about Sengoku becoming the Fleet Admiral, and Borsalino, Kuzan, and Sakazuki being promoted to Admiral?"
"Agreed!"
"Also, have Vegapunk hurry up with his research. We need to develop more technology, and then extract the genes from those individuals to create technology that can eliminate everything!"
The wonderful power of the Lineage Factor!
If they were given some time, they could eliminate all dissent in this world!
"What about that bastard Morgans?"
It's Morgans again!
It was always this guy causing big news.
Their patience had its limits!
"That guy is as fickle as ever, and he's very difficult to catch."
Morgans's lair was in the sky, and it was constantly moving, making him very difficult to catch.
"Then we can't just let him continue like this, can we?"
Although he was difficult to catch, if they were willing to pay the price, they could still catch him.
"Give him a warning, or kill him if possible!"
"En."
After speaking, the lights in the hall gradually dimmed.
With a transfer order.
Kong also knew it was time for him to leave.
"Before I leave, I'll issue my final order. Gion, are you willing to leave the Marine and go undercover in the Pirate Bai Ye's pirate crew?"
"En."
Gion nodded in agreement.
She had already made preparations. Kake, who was beside her, was almost dying of anxiety, but he couldn't find a reason to stop her.
"The World Government will formulate plans regarding Bai Ye later. Bai Ye is no longer our primary target. We need to suppress the rampant era."
Kong continued with the second matter. Currently, Bai Ye could no longer be treated as just a pirate.
"Indeed, Roger really did a good thing!"
Garp sighed. Roger had caused such a stir before his death.
Now, because of Roger's words, the number of pirates setting sail was increasing daily.
"Before I leave, I don't have much more to say. Anyway, I'll leave the rest to you, Sengoku."
"You can rest assured, Fleet Admiral Kong!"
Sengoku nodded with a solemn expression. He accepted the position, but he secretly vowed that he must capture Bai Ye. Although the World Government had taken over, Bai Ye started as a pirate, so it was their business.
Moreover, he had already suffered several losses at Bai Ye's hands, and he absolutely would not allow such a stain on his record!
"Everyone, don't be so sad. This is a promotion. I'm fine!"
Kong patted their shoulders, then stepped out and left Marineford.
He was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the entire military, taking up a post in Mary Geoise, responsible for dealing with Bai Ye later.
He thought that just as he had captured Red Count, next time he would capture Bai Ye!
The World Government's bounty on Bai Ye was updated once again.
"The World's Most Dangerous Man - Bai Ye"
"Bounty: 6.8 Billion Berries, Dead or Alive!"
A bounty order that shocked the world.
The Celestial Dragons' private bounty was canceled and all added together, finally reaching 6.8 billion. It should be noted that after God Valley, Bai Ye's bounty was only 4.4 billion.
And the highest bounty was Pirate King Roger's 5.5648 billion Berries.
Now Bai Ye directly surpassed him by 1.2 billion Berries.
He was also given the title of the World's Most Dangerous Man.
It listed Bai Ye's various crimes: massacring the descendants of gods, the Celestial Dragons, preventing the Marines from executing Roger, provoking the World Government, attempting to revive ancient weapons to incite war, and so on.
The previous video was also propagated by the World Government as a fake video released by Bai Ye to cover up his attempt to revive ancient weapons.
At the same time, all aspects of Bai Ye were completely blackened, directly portraying Bai Ye as the devil of the current age.
And with the appearance of this bounty, the entire world was stirred up.
"Shihihihi, Bai Ye, you bastard, you really surprised me! I'm taking a gamble with you!"
"Old Lion, welcome. But first, dismiss your subordinates... You know my current situation."
"Of course!"
Golden Lion's joining was somewhat unexpected for Bai Ye, yet also within reason.
"Momomo, I really should have had a child with Bai Ye back then!"
Mama was now filled with immense regret. When Bai Ye wasn't so powerful, she should have acted forcefully.
Now, she couldn't even have a child with him.
"Fufufufufu, this guy is truly insane. If he can really pull those guys off their thrones, that would truly be a delightful thing!"
Doflamingo laughed maniacally, recalling the looks those guys gave him when he returned to Mary Geoise with his father's head, wanting to reclaim his Celestial Dragon status.
He would never forget it, so he wanted to destroy this world, this world controlled by the Celestial Dragons!
"It seems I should fulfill my promise sooner."
At this moment, Mihawk, who was already known as Mihawk on the seas, was carefully reading every line of the newspaper.
He felt that Bai Ye had taken a huge step forward, and he couldn't fall behind either.
Amazon Lily.
Hancock was diligently training, her eyes unconsciously sweeping over Bai Ye's bounty poster in the newspaper. She secretly vowed that she must train hard, then become the Empress of Amazon Lily to help Bai Ye.
Only Elder Nyon, who was beside her, had a troubled expression. She knew that Bai Ye, that scoundrel, would definitely lead Amazon Lily to ruin!
It was just that this was truly exhilarating!
Pirate Bai Ye: [Look, I'm now the most dangerous man in the world!]
In the chat group, a bounty poster appeared simultaneously with the spoken words.
Naruto Bai Ye: [Oh, 6.8 billion, truly the most dangerous man. The World Government must be going all out to hunt you down, right?]
Pirate Bai Ye: [Am I afraid? My pirate crew now has Kaido, Bullet, Mihawk, Issho, Kuma, Golden Lion, Old John, and later there will be the grown-up Empress, Ginny, Yamato, King. I really don't know how I can lose!]
He was really looking forward to the day when his fangs were bared to the whole world, and what kind of expressions the whole world would have!
KOF Bai Ye: [Excellent, excellent!]
Nichijou Bai Ye: [Not settling down anymore?]
KOF Bai Ye: [It's time to go out and explore. After all, KOF also invited me, and I need to form my own team!]
