"Transfer!"
A stone was directly transferred by Bai Yu, hurtling toward Shandora.
The stone instantly broke through the island's clouds and struck the golden bell.
At the moment of impact—
"Boom~~~!"
The majestic and beautiful chime of the bell echoed in everyone's ears in an instant.
The ringing resonated through the White Sea!
It soared into the sky, reverberated through the heavens, and cascaded downward, leaving the people of Jaya Island in a daze.
On Jaya Island, the final commander of the Saruyama Alliance, Mont Blanc Cricket, a descendant of Mont Blanc Noland, stared blankly at the sky. Tears streamed down his face as he trembled with joy:
"The legendary bell… It was in the sky all along! My ancestor wasn't a liar! He was telling the truth all along…!"
Bai Yu: "…"
Damn it.
The sound of the bell definitely reached the sea. He had only intended to strike it lightly with a stone, but he hadn't expected it to be this loud.
"I'm taking Aisa with me."
With a swift movement, Bai Yu disappeared, taking Aisa along with him.
In the next moment—
He reappeared before Nami and the others.
A young girl with small white wings was staring at him in confusion.
She had blonde hair tied into two braids, a short skirt, and was holding a cloud fox in one hand and a harp in the other.
Upon seeing Bai Yu, Kaya chuckled lightly:
"Brother Bai Yu, Conis was just playing the harp. It was beautiful."
"Conis…"
Bai Yu recalled the name.
A righteous and kind-hearted girl. Was she beautiful? Of course, she was.
Nami folded her arms and pouted, "You're recruiting such a young girl now?"
"Her Observation Haki talent far surpasses all of yours…"
Bai Yu knew what Nami was implying, but he looked at little Aisa and smiled gently.
"From now on, you're part of my crew. Understand?"
"Mmm."
Aisa, still bewildered, simply nodded.
Bai Yu then turned to Conis, extended his hand, and smiled.
"Hello, I'm Bai Yu."
"Ah? You… hello, I'm Conis…"
Conis blushed slightly.
He smiled so kindly, but was shaking hands part of Skypiean etiquette?
The moment Bai Yu grasped her hand—
He teleported again.
Now, he stood before Gan Fall and the other Skypieans.
"This one—I'm stealing!"
Gan Fall and the others barely had time to register what happened before Bai Yu vanished once more with Conis.
???!!
Conis was completely lost.
She had just met a few beautiful older sisters who had spoken so highly of Bai Yu. Now, he had abducted her in front of her people and elders?!
What kind of man is this?!
When Bai Yu returned with Conis, his expression turned serious.
"Listen. Agree to join my crew right now, or you'll witness that same thunder again."
Here we go again…
Robin and the other girls watched Bai Yu's bullying with amusement.
"I… I agree."
Conis' face turned pale.
Bai Yu grinned.
"That's settled. We're family now. I won't bully you."
Conis: "…"
She couldn't keep up with Bai Yu's pace at all.
Nami put her hands on her hips, pouting, "Next time, at least let us—Ow!"
Bai Yu flicked Nami's forehead. "You talk too much."
"Alright, Skypiea is pretty big. Get familiar with it, have fun for two days. I'm going to train."
And with that, Bai Yu disappeared into his room.
System Notification:
"Ding! Host has successfully recruited Aisa and Conis as crew members. Would you like to initiate a world lottery?"
"Start!"
Bai Yu was exhausted but excited for the lottery.
His ship was getting too small. He needed a bigger one—something large enough for a full-fledged crew.
A hundred people at least.
The system's pointer began spinning.
Creature, item, ability, information, concept, energy.
The first pointer stopped at Item.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host has won an item!"
"Luxury Spaceship – Special Edition!"
"…"
Just as he was thinking of getting a bigger ship, one fell into his lap.
Bai Yu felt like he had hit the jackpot.
What use is an ordinary ship? I could've bought one myself.
He opened the information panel to check the details.
—
Spaceship: The deck can accommodate 1,000 people, including 72 luxury suites, multiple living and leisure areas, and dedicated training grounds.
Navigation: Advanced AI-assisted piloting, capable of automatic flight.
Maintenance: Comes with hundreds of specially designed female robots for cleaning, modifications, and repairs.
Energy: Controlled nuclear fusion, eliminating energy concerns.
Defense: Energy shield capable of nullifying tens of millions of tons of equivalent nuclear explosions.
Stealth: The ship can enter invisibility mode.
Radar: Scans up to 4,000 kilometers.
Weapons:
• Laser Cannons (x108): Long-range attacks (2,000 km range), capable of annihilating enemy ships in one shot.
• Pulse Cannon: Target-locking island-destroying weapon.
—
"As expected of a system trait…"
What could Bai Yu even say? He had no need for Pluton anymore.
This ship was superior in every way.
"Not bad. Not bad at all."
Building a powerful ship would've taken time—time he didn't want to waste.
Now, he didn't have to.
The system's pointer spun again.
For the first time, it landed on Information.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host has won the information category!"
"Ding! Host may now obtain any information from this world at will. This ability can be reserved for future use."
Bai Yu's eyes sparkled.
If there were mysteries worth uncovering in the One Piece world, they were:
• Raftel (Laugh Tale).
• The true nature of Devil Fruits.
• The Ancient Weapons.
• The events from 800 years ago.
• Joy Boy, Sun God Nika, Rocks D. Xebec, and the ultimate fate of the world.
But Bai Yu had other priorities.
He was more interested in women.
He really wanted to know everything about Imu's gender, appearance, body type, and more.
After all, his system was questionable at best.
So Bai Yu made his choice.
"System, I want to know about…
The exact location of Pure Gold."
