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

"Well... I'm very sorry, but I have no choice but to silence them!"

“I agree,” Sabo replied.

"Then you deal with Bai Yun, and I'll deal with Luffy!"

After Ace assigned the tasks, the two immediately turned their heads away.

Ace grabbed Luffy by the neck, and Zaraki grabbed...wait, where did they go?

"Hey Ace, where's that Bai Yun guy?"

Ace realized, "Oh right, where's Bai Yun?"

"That's right! Where's Bai Yun!"

Luffy also realized what had happened—Where had Bai Yun gone?!

Bai Yun: .......I'm so grateful you guys still remember me.

Bai Yun has disappeared!!!

Luffy panicked only then, realizing that Bai Yun had gotten separated from them.

But before they could go find Bai Yun, the thug who had robbed Ace arrived with Pulsemy, a member of the Blue Sauce Pirates. That money was actually protection money for the Blue Sauce Pirates.

Ace and Sabo immediately hid in the bushes, but they forgot about one person: Luffy.

"let me go!"

"Ace, Bai Yun, help!"

Luffy, held in Pulsemiti's hand, sent out a distress signal.

Ace and Sabo immediately lowered their heads to avoid being discovered.

When Purshami heard the name Ace, he thought, "Isn't that the name of the brat who stole my money?"

"Kid, you know Ace? Where is he?!"

Realizing he couldn't betray his friends, Luffy immediately gestured with his lips as if he didn't know.

"I don't know~ (○?ε?○)"

But her acting was terrible.

When Purschmi saw that he wouldn't speak, he took him away, thinking he would make him talk.

Once everyone had left, Sabo and Ace jumped out, their first concern not for Luffy but for the treasure.

"Move the treasure quickly! Hurry!"

"It's only a matter of time before Luffy speaks up."

They didn't believe it; they couldn't believe that Luffy, at such a young age, could withstand Pulshmi's torture.

........

On the other side, Bai Yun laboriously crawled out of the garbage dump, his whole body reeking of stench.

"Damn it, this is really unlucky."

"Where are we supposed to find Luffy and his crew?!"

Looking at the endless pile of garbage, Bai Yun felt lost.

"Uncertainty's final destination? Luffy, Ace, and Sabo meet for the first time! Oh no! The Pulsemy incident!"

After Ace died in the Marineford War in the anime, the flashback arc of Luffy and his two brothers began. Because of Ace's death, Bai Yun remembered everything very clearly.

Luffy was captured and tortured by Pulsemy, an officer of some pirate crew. Because he didn't reveal the location of Ace and Sabo, he was accepted by Ace and Sabo, and the three brothers were officially formed.

"But where are we supposed to find that?"

Bai Yun was worried, but didn't know how to move his feet.

Just then, a homeless man from an uncertain destination walked over, and Bai Yun mustered his courage and asked.

"Excuse me, do you know where Ace and Sabo are?"

The homeless man glanced at Bai Yun and said, "What little brat? Get lost!"

Bai Yun didn't have time to waste. Since they wouldn't take the toast, then they shouldn't drink at all!

The bracelet instantly transformed into a flintlock pistol. Holding the gun, Bai Yun's eyes turned cold as he asked.

"I'll ask again."

"Do you even know where Ace and Sabo are?!"

With a gun pointed at him, the homeless man's legs went weak, and he pointed shakily in one direction.

Bai Yun immediately put away his gun and ran in that direction.

Chapter 16 Bullets Don't Have Eyes

With the friendly directions from the homeless man, Bai Yun realized there were still many good people in the world and immediately headed towards Ace and Sabo.

Upon arrival, they found no one there; Ace and Sabo had already moved their treasure.

However, Bai Yun's sharpshooting had made his eyesight excellent, and he noticed the faint figures of Ace and Sabo on a hillside not far away.

Bai Yun rushed over immediately, almost exhausted. He saw Ace and Sabo burying their treasures on the ground. He decided to replicate their physiques first and then deal with the rest.

"Ace!"

Where's Luffy?!

After the replica was completed, Bai Yun shouted, startling Ace and Sabo once again.

"Bai Yun!"

"Luffy has been captured by Purshami, a member of the Blue Sauce Pirates!"

"Where are you! I'm asking you! Which direction are you in!"

Bai Yun roared, "If we slow down even a little, we'll land one more punch on Luffy!"

"You! You're a genuine pirate! A ruthless killer!!"

Sabo couldn't help but interject, reminding Bai Yun that if he went there, he would be fighting real pirates, not just thugs.

"I'm asking you for directions!"

"Why do you all think Luffy will definitely betray you?!"

"I just went to your old treasure location, and there wasn't a soul there! Luffy hasn't betrayed you yet!"

Bai was extremely lucky. Although if he put himself in Luffy's shoes, he didn't believe Luffy could withstand the torture either, but now that he was in Luffy's shoes...

Bai Yun's words were a bolt from the blue for Ace and Sabo. They never expected that Luffy would withstand the torture without betraying them. Just moments ago, they had even tried to silence him.

........

"Speak up, you brat!"

Wearing spiked gloves, Pulshmi relentlessly punched Luffy, who was now almost covered in blood.

But he still won't say.

When Bai Yun arrived and saw Luffy like this, he was filled with grief and anger.

"stop!!!"

Sabo and Ace, armed with water pipes, spearheaded the charge.

When Purshami saw Ace and the others appear on their own initiative, he was actually happy, as he wouldn't be punished by the captain.

"They've come to me willingly, so I don't need to look for them! Just give the money back!"

Pulsemi grabbed Ace's head with one hand; his tall stature meant he could easily grab Ace's head. Sabo then struck him on the head from behind, freeing Ace.

Bai Yun seized the opportunity to flank Luffy and rescue him.

"Bai Yun!!! It hurts so much!!!"

Luffy said with tears in his eyes.

Bai Yun nodded with concern, "I know, I'm sorry I'm late! But next time, remember to check if your teammates are there!"

Bai Yun got angry as he spoke, "If only you had pulled me out of the garbage dump, none of this would have happened."

Bai Yun led Luffy to the retreat route and watched as Pulsemi fought against Ace and Sabo. He was a genuine pirate, several times taller than the two of them. After this fight, Ace and Sabo were already injured, but Pulsemi was not without wounds as well.

"call!"

Bai Yun exhaled, raised his arm, and a flintlock pistol appeared, aimed at Pulchermi's head.

"........"

In the end, Bai Yun did not shoot Pulchermi in the head. If he did not kill him, Pulchermi's captain would not let him go, and he quickly adjusted the muzzle of his gun.

"boom!"

The bullet struck Pulchermi's right arm precisely when it left the barrel.

"Uh!"

The shot silenced the scene instantly, and Pulsemy, Ace, and Sabo all looked at Bai Yun.

With a cold look in his eyes, Bai Yun recalled Luffy's appearance and fired another shot at Purshami's left foot.

"ah!!"

This time, Purshami finally couldn't help but shout it out.

"return!"

Bai Yun shouted, bringing Ace and Sabo back to their senses. Sabo and Ace were still children. They had seen guns before, but this was the first time someone younger than them had fired a gun.

"Stop chasing, or the bullets won't have eyes!"

Bai Yun warned Pulsemy's men, then carried Luffy, Ace, Sabo, and the others and began to retreat.

.......

The four escaped to the area beneath Ace and Sabo's new treasure trove.

After bandaging Ace and Sabo, Bai Yun focused on bandaging Luffy, who was the most seriously injured.
