Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Ye opened his eyes.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with excitement and excitement.

Because just now, he finally succeeded in erasing the imprint of the original owner's law.

"Next, it's time to collect the spoils."

Bai Ye murmured to himself:

"By the way, kick some guys out."

After saying that, Bai Ye took a step forward and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

At the same time, the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates were watching the Rainbow Tower explode bit by bit.

It turned out that during the time when Bai Ye disappeared, Witten first sent people to use Henzo's invention to enter the rainbow fog.

After confirming that it was possible to travel back and forth, they had the Rainbow Tower turned into a Rainbow Bridge, which became the medium connecting Lujiajia Island and the Rainbow Mist.

At this time, Henzo has also recognized the Pumpkin Pirates and decided to work together to find a way to leave the Rainbow Mist.

So the two sides decisively started fighting.

After being beaten up by the Straw Hat Pirates, Witten and his gang decided to go all out and directly blow up the Rainbow Tower, completely trapping Luffy and his gang in the rainbow mist.

Boom! ! !

With the Rainbow Tower being blown up, the road out of the Rainbow Mist was about to be cut off.

At this time, the only way to leave this place is to follow the direction of the explosion and drive away quickly.

But what made the children on the Pumpkin Pirates anxious was that the people on the Merry had no intention of leaving.

"Hey! Why don't you start the boat yet?"

The leader of the Pumpkin Pirates, Rabbani with short blond hair, shouted:

"If we don't leave, we might be stuck here forever."

"I'm waiting for my second-in-command."

Luffy smiled and said to the anxious Rabbani:

"He hasn't come back yet, so the Merry can't leave yet."

"It's just one person. Do you want to leave all your crew members here?"

Said another member of the Pumpkin Pirates, a girl with short purple hair.

But before anyone could answer, she stopped asking.

Because she suddenly realized that not only Captain Luffy, but all the other crew members seemed to have no intention of leaving.

Waiting for the deputy captain seemed to be a consensus.

Seeing this scene, even Rabbani, who respected loyalty the most, was stunned.

I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "Who is your deputy captain?"

“Although it’s a little sudden to introduce myself, but…”

Just then, a voice came from behind Rabbani.

Bai Ye seemed to appear suddenly and spoke slowly:

"My name is Bai Ye, the deputy captain you mentioned."

Rabbani and others turned their heads and saw Bai Ye with a kind smile on his face.

"You're finally back, Bai Ye."

Nami also smiled at this time, and was ready to assign tasks:

"Zoro will lower the sails, Usopp will take the helm..."

But before Nami could finish, Bai Ye interrupted her:

"Don't bother with that, Nami,"

Bai Ye seemed calm and composed, but in fact, he was thinking about:

[Stand back, I'm going to start showing off! 】

"I have ten thousand ways to get us out of the rainbow fog."

"So that's how it is. It's alright then."

When Nami heard this, she also took action decisively, and even used the weather stick to sweep down a few oranges and threw them to Bai Ye.

What surprised Labani and others was that the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates, like Nami, trusted Byakuya's statement 100%.

No questions were raised at all.

You know, this is a pirate cemetery that no one has ever left.

Seeing the expressions of the few people, Luffy on the side smiled happily:

"Bai Ye is very powerful, hehe."

At this time, after showing off an orange, Bai Ye also spoke to the others:

"Don't worry, I can indeed get everyone out."

"However, I still need to ask for your opinion."

Bai Ye squatted down and spoke slowly:

"You guys, do you want to come out with us, or... go back to fifty years ago?"

Hearing this, not only Rabbani but also others were stunned for a moment.

Even Henzo's eyes widened:

"Can you send Rabbani and the others back?"

Bai Ye nodded without saying much. After taking control of this small world, he also had the relevant authority.

But after a brief attempt, he found that he could not send Henzo to fifty years ago.

After a brief communication with Rainbow Mist, Bai Ye understood the reason.

"A time-space paradox?"

As a Taoist priest, Bai Ye could only barely understand it based on his weak knowledge of science.

The reason why Bai Ye asked this question was to avoid creating a time and space paradox.

After all, what if we send a few people to fifty years later?

Then fifty years later, the Pumpkin Pirates, who have become the Navy, will no longer exist, and neither will the Straw Hat Pirates....

That's the truth anyway.

"We're going to go fifty years ago."

Just as Bai Ye fell into deep thought, Rabbani's voice sounded again.

He looked at Bai Ye and said firmly:

"We have to go back to fifty years ago and save Lujiajia Island ourselves."

Behind him, several members of the Pumpkin Pirates were looking at Bai Ye with the same eyes.

"Well, see you later, everyone."

Bai Ye stood up and without saying anything, he waved his right hand and sent the few people away.

"Rabbani..."

Henzo was still a little confused, but Usopp stopped him and said:

"Didn't Bai Ye just say we'd meet in a while? Don't be so anxious."

Hearing this, Bai Ye also smiled:

"Yes, you will see them soon."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers, and everyone reappeared at the port of Lujiajia Island.

At this time, four warships had appeared at the port.

The leaders were the blond old man and the purple old woman who had previously chased the Straw Hat Pirates.

"What!!! Navy!!!"

Luffy exclaimed and quickly shouted:

"Nami, let's run."

Everyone: ...You really didn’t understand what I said just now, did you?

-

At the port, several soldiers arrested the Witton family and escorted them to the pirate ship.

And fifty years later, the Pumpkin Pirates stood facing Henzo.

"Rabbani, and everyone."

Henzo burst into tears.

"I'm so sorry, Henzo."

Rabbani, or now Major Pascua, said:

"It took us a long time to climb to this point in order to save this island."

"I've really wronged you over the years."

"We may be the navy, but to you, we will always be the Pumpkin Pirates."

"Always your partner."

At this time, the setting sun cast its afterglow, witnessing the friendship between these old men spanning fifty years.

Suddenly, Rabbani pointed at Luffy and the others:

"Straw Hat Gang, I'm going to arrest you!!!"

"What?!!" x3

The three idiots who were enjoying their food reacted most strongly.

Rabbani said calmly:

"We are under the banner of justice in the navy. How could we let go of pirates with a bounty on their heads?"

"But..."

Rabbani suddenly covered his head with his hands, looking very troubled:

"How can this be such a coincidence? I have to escort Witton and his gang to the headquarters now. Otherwise, the Straw Hat Pirates will be able to escape."

"But we really don't have the manpower to spare! Even if we ask for support from headquarters, it will take two days for the reinforcements to arrive."

"If they escape, there's nothing we can do!!!"

Seeing Rabbani's dramatic performance, the three idiots breathed a sigh of relief:

Luffy: "You really are a good person, uncle, hahaha."

Usopp: "Asshole, stop being so scary!!!"

Chopper: “That’s right!!!”

-

Just like that, amidst laughter and joy, the Straw Hat Pirates left Lujiajia Island in a dignified manner and embarked on a new journey.
