Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"Grandpa...Grandpa!!!"

On the other side, after seeing Garp, Luffy opened his mouth so wide that even the meat in his mouth fell out.

Compared to Luffy, the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates were not that excited.

At least no one called him Grandpa in unison like they did in the pub before.

Robin said directly: "The fact that he can come here already explains everything."

At this moment, Garp obviously had no time to pay attention to Luffy and others.

He just looked at Rayleigh in front of him and laughed:

"I'm not a vice admiral now, I'm just an old man hired to train a few brats, hahaha."

Only then did Rayleigh notice that Garp was not wearing his navy uniform, and even his cloak of justice was gone.

Of course, Cap is still wearing his iconic dog-head hat.

"Oh? I'm actually very curious about what price Bai Ye paid to get a guy like you here."

At this time, Rayleigh also looked at Bai Ye with an interested look.

If he said it was because of Roger, then who was it because of Garp?

He and Roger have been dealing with Garp for a lifetime, so Rayleigh naturally understands the justice that the other party upholds.

He didn't think that Garp would make a decision that went against his own adherence to justice just for the sake of his grandsons Luffy and Ace.

"I promise you, old man, that after the war, the Great Pirate Era will be completely ended!"

Bai Ye walked forward and said calmly, "The old man just thinks my approach is better."

Is the justice that Garp upholds the justice of the navy?

If that were true, Garp would not have disobeyed orders so many times and clearly expressed his disdain for the Celestial Dragons.

The justice that Garp upholds is the justice of protecting civilians.

In order to protect civilians as much as possible, Garp was willing to join the navy.

This is also the reason why Garp couldn't and would not save Ace.

Killing Ace, the bloodline of the Pirate King, and burying the Four Emperors Pirate Group will definitely be able to suppress the increasingly rampant pirate era.

This will also indirectly save more civilians.

And this is Garp's concept of justice.

In comparison, the justice of the Warring States Period was of another kind.

In the eyes of the Warring States, only the navy of the world government can dominate the world and better implement justice.

Back to Karp.

If there is another force that is better able to protect peace than the navy, given Garp's character, he might become the navy of that force.

This was the condition that Bai Ye discussed with Garp in the tavern before.

The fundamental reason why Byakuya impressed Garp was that [the pirate era could be ended without Ace and Luffy dying].

Bai Ye is indeed confident that he can fulfill his promise to Garp.

The fundamental reason why the War of Marineford in the original work triggered the Second Great Pirate Era was Whitebeard's words.

Faced with the endless treasure of One Piece, those who are facing death due to the oppression of the World Government will naturally rush to the sea one after another.

These are the people Bai Ye wants to kill.

As long as these people no longer go out to sea, there will be no pirate era.

As for those pirates who are mentally abnormal or ambitious, they can never be wiped out.

In the Dharma Ending World where Bai Ye lived in his previous life, even in the peaceful country where he lives, there are still people who thirst for blood and wantonly play with other people's lives.

But please note that these people are always in the minority.

In short, what Bai Ye has guaranteed to do is to make going out to sea as a pirate no longer the mainstream.

And for Karp, this is already a pretty incredible result.

Naturally, there was no reason to refuse Bai Ye's request.

"Oh?"

Rayleigh looked a little puzzled:

"You're a pirate, but you promised the navy to end the pirate era?"

At this time, Reilly thought carefully about everything Bai Ye had done before, and slowly formed a guess in his mind.

This guess also surprised Rayleigh.

"Is the current pirate era really what Roger wants to see?"

Bai Ye did not answer directly, but spoke directly:

"I believe that Luffy can do what Roger can't do."

"So the person Roger longed to see in the Great Pirate Era has appeared."

After hearing Bai Ye's words, Rayleigh's eyes became serious.

He understood what Bai Ye meant.

At this moment, Bai Ye no longer regards himself as a younger generation of pirates, but as the future vice-captain of the Pirate King, and declares to himself:

"Because Luffy will definitely become the Pirate King!"

"So it's time for the pirate era started by Roger to end."

Looking at Bai Ye's confident eyes, this was the first time Rayleigh truly felt something:

[They have surpassed us, Roger...]

"Hahahaha, you really know how to talk, Bai Ye boy."

When Garp saw Rayleigh's relieved smile, he also laughed at Bai Ye, and his tone was full of admiration.

Then, Garp turned around and looked at Luffy and the others.

He clenched his fists and bumped them together in front of his chest, revealing the same smile as Luffy.

But this smile reminded Luffy of bad memories.

"Since I have already promised Bai Ye, you guys should get ready."

"I will use the same method I used to train Luffy to train the rest of you, hahahaha!"

How to train Luffy?

Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates simultaneously recalled the cruel training that Garp had given Luffy in the tavern.

Looking at Garp who was laughing, even Zoro couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

He had a bad feeling.

But at this time, Karp turned his head and looked at Bai Ye again:

"That brat hasn't come yet?"

Before Bai Ye could answer, several crossroads appeared in Garp's mind:

"Asshole, how dare you let me wait for him here? It seems that he hasn't tasted the iron fist of my love for a long time."

When Rayleigh heard what Garp said, he subconsciously thought of something.

"Bai Ye boy, you didn't find anyone else, did you?"

Bai Ye shrugged and said:

"Senior Rayleigh, you are responsible for teaching observation Haki and swordsmanship, and Mr. Garp is responsible for honing armament Haki and taijutsu. So naturally, we need a strong person to help teach them how to develop their devil fruit abilities."

Seeing Bai Ye's expression of "This makes sense", Rayleigh suddenly thought of the scene when Roger took advantage of him.

"We only have five months. Finding another teacher can also reduce the burden on Senior and Mr. Garp, right?"

The expression on Bai Ye's face was exactly the same as the smile Roger showed at that time.

"...I'm really impressed by you, kid. Tell me, who is this person who made Garp so angry?"

"It can't be Garp's son."

...

"Yes...it is indeed him, and he is here now."

As he spoke, Bai Ye waved his hands again.
