A New Step Towards the Future
As Bai Yu stepped out of the room, he saw Stussy waiting outside the door, smiling at him with her usual elegance.
Stussy grinned. "Those four girls—settled?"
Bai Yu smirked. "Let's leave the rest to time. One of them seeks revenge, another just wants to be needed, and the last two are fiercely loyal…" He pulled Stussy into his arms, inhaling her fragrance.
Stussy chuckled gracefully. "Actually, it would be easy for you to bring them back—if Doflamingo were willing to submit to you."
Bai Yu shook his head slightly, then nodded. "But he will soon understand that only I can help him achieve his untouchable dreams."
Stussy's expression suddenly turned serious. "By the way… CP0 is coming. I came to inform you."
Bai Yu's eyes gleamed.
It was better for them to come sooner rather than later.
His bond with Stussy had strengthened significantly, and he genuinely enjoyed her company.
But there was still a problem.
Stussy's mind was not entirely free—the pressure from the World Government wouldn't simply vanish overnight. Bai Yu needed to show her something.
At the very least, he wanted her to witness firsthand how powerless CP0 was against him.
Seeing the excitement in Bai Yu's eyes, Stussy hesitated. "You're not thinking of… killing them here, are you?"
"How long until they arrive, and how many?" Bai Yu asked.
"They should still be on Nolan's Island. Three to five members, including a CP0 captain. They're mainly here to mobilize resources on Happy Street," Stussy answered quickly.
"Nolan's Island…" Bai Yu mused.
What a coincidence—he had passed through there recently.
As a habit, he always left a spatial marker on islands he traveled through.
That made things easier.
Bai Yu pulled Stussy closer and smiled. "The island is a few territories away from here. If they suddenly die there, it just means they weren't strong enough. Just bad luck, right?"
Stussy's beautiful eyes widened slightly. "Why are you suddenly set on killing them?"
"The CP units have been hunting me for too long. I have a temper too, you know. And besides…" Bai Yu's lips curled into a smirk. "CP0 is just too weak."
Stussy rolled her eyes gracefully.
Not all CP0 agents were strong.
But those at the top, known as the Strongest Shield, were true monsters.
"Let's go!"
Bai Yu vanished, taking Stussy with him.
Nolan's Island – A Silent Hunt Begins
Nolan's Island was a relatively ordinary island in the first half of the New World.
High above it, drifting in the sky, a floating island of clouds concealed Bai Yu and Stussy.
Stussy glanced at him. "CP0 agents in the New World tend to stay alert at all times to avoid ambushes. If we stay here in the sky, they might notice us."
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? What are they, Fujitora?"
Stussy shook her head. "I misspoke. Not all CP0 members are strong, but captains and above are extremely cautious. They rarely let their guard down."
"Then let's just block their awareness."
Bai Yu didn't care. He didn't believe a mere CP0 captain could be anything extraordinary.
A powerful hum resonated.
"Om!"
When Bai Yu activated his Observation Haki, an overwhelming wave of power spread across the entire island.
Thanks to Aisa's natural Observation Haki talent, combined with Bai Yu's research into Advanced Observation Haki, he completely blocked the sensory perception of everyone on the island.
It was like their ability to sense the world had been erased.
CP0's Perspective – An Unseen Nightmare
The CP0 captain, who had been using Observation Haki, suddenly froze. His pupils shrank.
"Alert! A powerful presence—top-tier strength!"
The three other CP0 agents instinctively activated Observation Haki—and their expressions twisted in horror.
Their senses were completely blocked.
"This… This is an Observation Haki suppression technique?"
"What kind of monster can do this?!"
"I've never heard of such an ability before!"
The CP0 agents were in complete shock.
For those who relied on Observation Haki, suddenly losing it felt like going blind. Even a monster like Fujitora would be rendered helpless if his ability to sense the world was blocked.
Just as their fear reached its peak, a calm voice echoed.
"You set up quite the secure little operation here. It's hard for most people to enter…"
The CP0 agents felt their hair stand on end.
How had someone gotten inside without breaking through any barriers?
That meant spatial movement.
But… they had Sea Prism Stone defenses specifically to counter teleportation abilities!
This shouldn't be possible!
The four agents turned, their minds filled with confusion.
And what they saw shattered their reality.
Sitting on a chair made of clouds, Bai Yu lounged comfortably.
A table made of clouds sat before him, with a teapot and cups elegantly arranged.
And beside him, Stussy poured tea with graceful poise, sharing a flirtatious smile with him.
CP0: …??!!
Did they just walk into a romantic date?!
A Crushing Realization
The CP0 captain's face darkened. "Demon King Bai Yu…"
But when he saw Stussy beside him, his fury exploded.
"HOW DARE YOU BETRAY THE WORLD GOVERNMENT?!"
Stussy rested her hand on Bai Yu's shoulder and spoke smoothly.
"I've worked in the underworld for years… and I had my fill of it. The World Government? All it did was use me like a dog."
Before CP0 could respond, Bai Yu interrupted with a smirk.
"How can you say that about yourself, Stussy? They are the dogs."
Stussy giggled and kissed Bai Yu's cheek. "You're right. My mistake. Don't be mad, okay?"
Bai Yu smiled warmly. "How could I ever be mad at you?"
CP0:
…Are they flirting right in front of us?!
The CP0 captain growled. "So you found a new master. But even Bai Yu won't escape the wrath of the World Government for long!"
"Done talking nonsense?" Bai Yu scoffed. "You're just a squad leader—don't act like you matter."
Bai Yu pulled Stussy closer into his embrace.
"Spatial Transfer."
In an instant, all four CP0 members vanished.
A Watery Execution
The deep sea—1,000 meters below the surface.
"Blub… Blub…"
The CP0 captain and one of his subordinates immediately began drowning.
The other two, who weren't Devil Fruit users, were too shocked to move.
"He… he teleported us into the deep sea?!"
"The World Government completely underestimated him!"
Their minds raced with terrifying possibilities.
If Bai Yu attacked Marine Headquarters…
…then aside from Garp, all of the top Admirals and Fleet Admiral—who were Devil Fruit users—would be helpless in the sea.
"Teleporting enemies into the ocean…"
"How do you even stop that?!"
Their thoughts were cut short.
Bai Yu appeared out of nowhere in front of them.
He wasn't affected by the ocean.
Their eyes widened in horror.
"Y-You're not a Devil Fruit user?!"
Bai Yu vanished and reappeared multiple times in an instant.
Slash!
In a blink, the four CP0 agents were torn apart, their blood staining the deep waters.
Bai Yu opened a portal to Impel Down's Eternal Hell and threw their bodies inside.
"A waste of time," he muttered.
Then, he teleported back to Stussy—completely dry, completely unharmed.
And CP0?
It was as if they had never existed.
