I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

"Look at me!"

Suddenly, PigJack leaped into the air, his entire body encased in white armor, transforming into a ball with spikes instantly emerging as he rolled down.

The attack method is somewhat similar to Lucky's human bowling ball technique, but it's far inferior.

Pig Jacks crashed down and rolled straight towards them. Luffy and his crew dodged, but those who were knocked away were all their own people.

The deck was torn open by the spikes, and Pigjax slammed directly at Bai Yun and Nami.

Bai Yun has experience dealing with this.

The pistol transformed into a long stick, which was inserted diagonally into the ground to stop Pig Jacks. Then, with force, the stick was pressed down, lifting him up and sending him flying back to his own ship, where he knocked many of his own men away.

What a great teammate.

Chapter 112 Nami, the Going Merry Rescue Operation

Bai Yun used a (physical) argument to knock PigJacks back down.

Pig Jacks rolled around and killed several more of his companions before stopping.

"Leave it to me next!"

Usopp ran over, and Bai Yun thought he had some good ideas.

He grabbed the single oar at the stern, activated his powerful arm, and the small boat turned and "flew" away in an instant.

That was incredibly fast. This was the second time Bai Yun felt like he was racing, and he wasn't even in a car. The first time was when he was in a wheelchair, and this was the second time.

Usopp is really good at escaping and outflanking maneuvers.

But Luffy and his crew were puzzled.

Why did you run away?!

Look

Watching the small boat speed away, the Sweet Queen smiled.

.........

"Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!"

Usopp rowed hard, and with a rocking motion, Akith's music box fell into the sea.

"stop!"

Akis immediately picked up a wooden board and slapped Usopp to stop him.

Borod had already jumped down to retrieve the music box.

Akis breathed a sigh of relief when he turned around, picked up the music box, and said he was alright.

But just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Sweet Queen caught up with Jack the Pig, who was rolling on the sea.

Several bombs painted with playing card colors were thrown onto the small boat, and in Bologna's view, the boat was blown to pieces.

Only one large wooden plank remained floating.

Everyone was holding onto the planks; Zoro was pulling Luffy, and Sanji was pulling Bai Yun.

Soaked in seawater, these two ability users felt utterly powerless.

"It's riddle time again."

"What is it that we need most?"

"Nami-san!!"

Sanji called out, and Bai Yun felt weak all over. He turned his head and saw Nami being held in Sweet Queen's arms, already unconscious.

"Correct answer, we'll accept her."

"What?"

"She is the gift we want to present to the Great Bear King."

"Pig Jacks replied."

The Sweet Queen, standing on him, added to the discussion.

“We’re going to take her back and do this and that.”

"This kind of thing and that kind of thing!"

Those gripping the plank couldn't help but repeat themselves. Bai Yun said, "Explain yourself more clearly. You'd better write a novel describing it in detail."

"......"

"......"

A silence fell, as if nothing more could be said.

Sweetheart Queen stomped her foot, and Jack the Pig threw another bomb at the wooden board, shattering it completely.

Zoro and Sanji switched places to rescue Luffy and Hakun, who had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Sweet Queen has already taken Nami back, riding on the rolling pig Jax.

"hateful!!"

........

swoosh~

The scene changes.

The group sat on a wooden plank, with Borod holding onto the ropes and using a piece of white cloth as a sail, heading towards Clockwork Island.

The rescue plan for Nami and the Going Merry was launched.

"Is this really possible?"

Zoro was a little suspicious.

"This is a current from the Grand Line. That's quite impressive."

"You should be quite familiar with Clockwork Island."

Bai Yun picked up where he left off.

"Of course he's amazing! Borod is a genius when it comes to utilizing the wind and waves!"

Before Bologna could say anything, Akis interrupted to answer for him.

"is it?"

"Genius."

"What are you so smug about, kid?"

Usopp said to Akith, "The one who's really good is Borod. What are you so smug about?"

"Besides, Miss Nami got caught because you dropped your things in the sea."

Although Sanji said that, there was no hint of blaming a child in his tone.

"Honestly, it was so hard to escape."

"Is this your treasure?"

Usopp didn't blame Akith either.

Seeing that Akis had taken out the music box that had worried him so much, he bent down to look at it.

Akis didn't answer, but wound up the clockwork, opened the cover, and music slowly began to play.

"A soothing lullaby."

Bai Yun said.

While controlling the white cloth, Bologna offered an explanation for Akith.

........

It turns out that Akith and the music box were found by Borod at sea.

At that time, Archis was still an infant, placed in a cradle and drifting with the waves.

It was Bologna who raised Akis, and that music box is Akis's only memory of his hometown.

........

"Aren't you brothers?"

Even though it was obvious, Luffy still asked a question.

"Even without blood ties, you can still be brothers."

Bologna replied.

"Yes, I want to become a thief like Borod."

Akis followed up on Bologna's words.

Their words made Luffy glance at Bai Yun, who returned a smile.

Luffy thought of Shanks, White Luck, Ace, and Sabo.

You can be brothers even if you're not related by blood, and you can do something because of someone.

He is not related to Bai Yun, Ace, or Sabo by blood, but they are like brothers.

It was because of Shanks that he chose to become a pirate.

........

"There is a whirlpool."

Usopp noticed a whirlpool not far to the left of the plank, meaning he wanted Borod to stay away so he wouldn't get caught in it.

But Bologna remained calm. "Ah, that proves we've arrived at Clockwork Island."

Everyone looked up.

"Then let's go with Clockwork Island."

All you could see beneath Clockwork Island was a patch of land, and nothing at all.
