Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

Hiyori shook her head and rejected Nami.

"I plan to go back to Jiuli in a few days and use the snake's head to worship my parents and brother."

She looked towards the direction of Goten Castle, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

It's been too long since I went back.

"This time when I go back, I won't leave. That's where I was born, and it was also my father's territory. I will stay there and try to help the people there return to their former days and rebuild Goten Castle. This is what our Oden clan owes Kuri."

"Neko Viper and the others are going back to Zou Province. As for me and Denjiro, we will also follow the young master back to Kuri." Kin'emon at the side also said at this time: "After all, we are originally from Kuri."

After hearing this, Nami knew that she didn't need to persuade her anymore. She just hugged Hiyori with a little sadness and said words of blessing.

-

“Even people who have the same experience will make different choices.”

When Bai Ye saw Nami and Hiyori hugging each other, he couldn't help but sigh.

Even if he didn't deliberately eavesdrop on their conversation, he could roughly guess what happened.

Nami also chose to leave her hometown after taking revenge because her relatives were killed. She also helped more people who had the same experience as her during this journey.

Hiyori chose to stay in her hometown and work hard to heal the suffering of this place and its people.

There is no question of which one is better, it is just different choices for different people.

Bai Ye sighed a little, but that was all. However, at this moment, a teasing voice came from behind him.

"Oh, is our vice-captain disappointed that we are missing an Oiran crew member?"

Needless to say, the only one in the Straw Hat Pirates who would speak to Byakuya like this is the 'older' beauty Robin.

"What? Are you annoyed by Luffy and the others being too noisy? Or are you trying to avoid Sanji's attentions and coming to me?"

The best way to deal with such "battle-hardened" people is to ignore their teasing and change the subject directly.

They have high emotional intelligence and will not provoke you like some short-sighted people. They know that they should be moderate, so at this time, they will change the subject as you wish.

"Both." Robin sat down next to Bai Ye, stretched to show off his sexy figure, and touched Merry in Bai Ye's arms before continuing, "Of course, there is a more important reason."

"I always feel that your plan this time is not over yet."

"Oh?" Bai Ye tilted his head and looked at Robin, his eyes full of interest: "What do you mean?"

"I didn't find anything." Seeing Bai Ye's eyes, Robin knew that he had misunderstood something: "I just made a judgment based on my intuition. It's okay if I guessed wrong."

Bai Ye didn't say anything, so Robin continued:

"Since entering the Grand Line, your plans have become more and more complicated. If at the beginning they were only targeting the enemies in front of the Straw Hat Pirates, then the subsequent plans are like a ball of yarn messed up by a bad cat."

"You collected all kinds of conditions, grabbed one of them at the right time, and linked all the people and forces that could be used one by one, making it a problem that looks terrible. Even for outsiders, it is difficult to understand, let alone those who are involved."

"But this ball of yarn is too tangled and dense. Every force that is deeply involved in it has to try to untangle the yarn in its own way, following the beginning thread."

"And at this time," Robin pinched the index fingers and thumbs of both hands together, as if he was holding a thread end in each hand.

"We just need to give it a gentle pull."

As he spoke, Robin spread his hands apart, as if pulling two threads together.

"We will get the yarn we want."

As soon as Robin finished speaking, Bai Ye looked at her with admiration.

"Although I don't like you comparing me to a cat who likes to play with a ball of yarn and whose temper is hard to figure out, I have to say that you understand it very well."

"But you really overestimate me. Although I like to create trends and take advantage of them, I am just a part of the trend. I can't be the one who controls it."

"Most of the time, I just made some choices at certain key points, pulled more people into this incident, and predicted their possible reactions, so as to choose the route that was most beneficial to us."

In fact, according to Bai Ye's personality, he is not very willing to explain these things.

After all, even if you explain it, it will be difficult for others to learn.

This requires not only a smart brain, but also the memory of the original work and thoughts that far exceed those of this era. This is the most difficult thing.

So Bai Ye’s approach to his partners has always been that you are just like Luffy, you don’t need to understand, just wait and eat what’s ready.

But this time, since Robin has come to this point, and he is indeed waiting for some news, he doesn't mind saying a little bit.

"Just like this time, maybe in your opinion, the whole war started when we came to Wano Country, but in my opinion, it started when we split into two groups and got the historical text from Zou and Cake Island respectively."

"So early?" Robin was a little surprised.

"That's right." Bai Ye shrugged and said, "When I make a plan, I usually like to collect what happened on the sea recently and grasp the movements of all forces."

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a collector...Okay, I do have a habit of collecting bounty warrants, but I definitely don't have a habit of collecting other things...I admit that I did collect these things, but it's definitely not because I'm a collector!"

Seeing Robin's expression of "I didn't say anything", Bai Ye gave up explaining and continued speaking.

"The situation at that time can basically be summarized in a few points: Dressrosa joined the Spark, and the Prairie Fire Army officially extended its territory to the New World, and it was in urgent need of further progress;

We have collected two pieces of red historical text from Kaido and Big Mom respectively, and the next step is definitely to seek the piece from Wano Country;

Admiral Green Bull raided Daughter Island but was repelled by Zephyr and Kuma, which led to the first internal conflict between the Navy and the World Government. Green Bull was transferred to Marijoa and the new Admiral Jizono was appointed, but the conflict between the two had already occurred, which was obviously a point that could be used;

Don't ask me how I know, the only thing to know is someone.

The Cross Guild was established. In time, another hegemonic power in the New World would be born, so they would definitely do something while their reputation was just established.

Blackbeard suddenly appears near the Whitebeard Pirates, and the two sides start a chase;

The World Government is in contact with the Red Hair Pirates Captain Shanks..."

Bai Ye told Robin a lot of information in one breath, which shocked Robin.

These news may not seem like much now, but they were considered secrets at that time. Even Morgans couldn't know all of them. The fact that Bai Ye was able to know them accurately at the first time shows that...

Bai Ye is really a collector.

Bai Ye habitually ignored Robin's strange look and continued with his explanation.
