Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"Domineering?"

Smoker's voice sounded somewhat surprised, even more surprised than the speed Luffy had just displayed.

He also became more and more certain of his guess.

Bai Ye’s origin is definitely not simple, and it is even possible that he came from the Grand Line.

If before, Bai Ye's many magical abilities could be explained by adventures such as the devil fruit, then the power of domineering must come from the Grand Line or even the New World.

Smoker secretly complained.

Bai Ye, is it an island in the New World that is similar to Wano Country?

No wonder Smoker thought so.

After all, looking at the entire world, the navy has a great control over the four seas and the first half of the Grand Route.

I have a basic understanding of the distribution of islands.

The only exception is the New World, where the navy's infiltration efforts are not strong because it is occupied by four great pirates.

As for why we mention Wano Country, it is because that island is not only the territory of Kaido, the King of Beasts, but also because it has been practicing a policy of isolation for a long time.

Plus the ninjas unique to Wano Country.

All these characteristics made Smoker think of Bai Ye.

Perhaps, in some unexplored corner of the New World, there is also a country full of Taoists.

Thinking of this, Smoker couldn't help but stare at Bai Ye.

Could this guy be the spokesperson for that country?

With so many mysterious methods and yet acting so high-profile, is it really as simple as it seems?

As for the possibility that Bai Ye was the only Taoist priest in this world, Smoker first ruled out this answer.

-

"Well, according to what you said, it's okay to call it domineering."

The golden light in Bai Ye's hands grew stronger and covered his entire body in the blink of an eye.

"But using the Taoist terminology, I prefer to call it [Qi]."

"Come to think of it, you just used your elemental transformation to play a trick on my friend."

Bai Ye's voice was full of sarcasm. Ever since he learned the Golden Light Mantra, Bai Ye had been rapidly accumulating Pure Yang Wuji Gong.

The energy accumulated in the body has already allowed the Golden Light Mantra to reach the next level.

——Use Qi to change into shape!

As he spoke, a stick made of golden light appeared in Bai Ye's hand.

"Then try my trick too."

[Original creation——Take my stick! 】

Bai Ye suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared above Smoker's head the next second.

The end of the golden rod in his hand suddenly expanded and smashed towards his head! ! !

“This speed!!!”

Smoker's eyes widened in surprise.

The speed displayed by Bai Ye at this time is even faster than Luffy.

What made Smoker even more nervous was the golden stick in Bai Ye's hand.

Although Bai Ye just said another name, [Qi].

But Smoker still thinks it is domineering.

After all, the statement that "only Haki can attack users of natural fruit abilities" is recognized by the whole world.

As for the other name that Bai Ye specifically emphasized, Smoker didn't take it to heart.

Because he knew that in Wano Country, Haki also had another name - [Ryu Sakura].

This also made Smoker more certain that Bai Ye came from a country similar to Wano Country, or even more mysterious and powerful.

The reason why Smoker was surprised was mainly because of the domineering way Bai Ye used.

(Note: The setting here is domineering and colorful.)

There are four ways to use Armament Haki:

They are "hardening", "entanglement", "external release" and "internal destruction" respectively.

And Smoker had never heard of anyone who could condense domineering aura into a weapon out of thin air.

Even if the weapon is the simplest stick.

boom! ! !

The fall of the golden stick stirred up clouds of dust.

After one move, Bai Ye did not attack again. He fell to the ground and looked forward.

After a while, the smoke and dust dissipated.

Smoker appeared in front of everyone, covering his right shoulder.

Although users with natural abilities can transform into elements in advance and avoid domineering attacks.

But that only applies to attacks with a small contact area, such as fists and swords.

Bai Ye's stick, which was faster than a human, smashed down, and Smoker couldn't use elemental transformation to dodge.

In the end, despite Smoker's best efforts to dodge, he was still hit in the right shoulder.

"Hmm~"

Bai Ye looked at Smoker and nodded.

"This way, we won't owe each other anything."

As soon as these words came out, the corner of Smoker's mouth twitched.

Is it so that neither of us owes anything to each other?

The injuries of the three guys behind you combined are probably not even one-tenth as serious as mine.

Not to mention Smoker, even Nami and others felt that Bai Ye was going a bit too far.

Look how badly he was beaten, he even has no shirt on.

Oh, he took it off himself in advance, so it's okay.

"Siguoyi! Bai Ye is so awesome!!!"

At this time, Luffy's voice also sounded among the crowd.

He looked at Bai Ye with shining eyes, and the pride on his face was beyond words.

"It seems that the energy called [Haki] can hit a natural ability user."

Sanji lit a cigarette and spoke slowly.

“I don’t know if it can be used on a knife.”

Zoro's eyes were solemn, and there was a hint of doubt in his heart.

"Well, Colonel Smoker, now you should know our strength."

After saying this, Bai Ye also threw a packet of medicine to Smoker.

"Just apply it to the injured area. You don't want your subordinates to see you injured, do you?"

Bai Ye shrugged.

I felt a little sad because this medicine came from a very powerful source.

That's the leftover medicine residue after refining the healing pill!!!

Although the effect is greatly reduced, do you know how many elixirs were used there?

Although there are many elixirs inside the Taoist collection, if they are wasted like this, Bai Ye estimates that they can only be used for ten thousand years.

Maybe I should ask for some medical expenses?

Bai Ye couldn't help but think so, but immediately dismissed the idea.

No, it’s too cheap!

After Smoker got the packaged medicine, he applied it directly on the wound without hesitation.

Feeling the energy repairing his body, Smoker looked somewhat comfortable.

Just as the intelligence said, this guy has something that can help people recover quickly.

After a while, Smoker's injuries were basically recovered.

He put on his coat again, lit the three cigars in his mouth, and looked at the Straw Hat Pirates.

At this point, he had no desire to continue fighting.

The strength of the Straw Hat Boy, the Yellow-Haired Boy and the Green-Haired Boy was enough to surprise him.

As for the long-haired guy...

Smoker looked at Bai Ye with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"Hey! You know what the consequences will be if you expose your strength like this."

After thinking about it, Smoker decided to remind them.

Although their strength shocked him, it was not enough for the entire navy.

"Thanks for the reminder, but I don't think there's anything to worry about."

Bai Ye smiled lightly and thanked Smoker for the reminder.

He was so confident, and of course he had his own reasons.
