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

As Bai Yun unbound his feet, she suddenly realized why she had to "reward" him.

When Xiao Feng's men on the Swan saw him being kicked off, they thought a fight was about to break out.

Xiao Feng immediately got up, saying, "It's okay, it's okay."

"It's just a farewell ceremony for the arrogant young man."

"Alright, let's set off!!"

The Swan changed direction and set off on Xiao Feng's orders.

"It's Mr. 2, Lord Bon Reik!!"

"!!!!!"

Xiao Feng's subordinates responded enthusiastically.

But that's what surprised everyone on the Going Merry except for Bai Yun.

"Mr.2!!"

"He's Mr. 2!!"

Usopp and Vivi exclaimed in surprise.

Zoro was somewhat surprised, but he found it strange to see Bai Yun standing beside him so calm.

"Why aren't you surprised at all?"

"......"

"What! He is Mr. 2."

If Bai Yun is only reacting now, then his reaction time is so slow it could circle the Earth.

Zoro: "......."

........

"Weiwei, don't you know what Mr. 2 looks like?"

Luffy asked.

Vivi sat down on the deck, feeling guilty. "Well, I've never seen Mr. 1's team or Mr. 2 before, and I don't know their abilities."

"But rumors say that Mr. 2 is a tall transvestite who speaks in a sissy voice and loves to wear a swan coat with the words 'The Way of the Transvestite' written on the back."

Upon hearing Weiwei's words, Bai Yun was both amused and exasperated. This news was practically written all along that he was Mr. 2, yet he still didn't recognize her. It was truly... quite strange.

Luffy, Usopp, and Zoro also gave a thumbs-up in praise.

You should have recognized me.

Weiwei ignored the praise, covering her forehead, her hands trembling slightly.

"Just now, when he was demonstrating his memory ability, his father's face appeared. What exactly did he do with his father's face?"

"If that guy is impersonating the king, it's definitely not going to be good."

Zoro said.

"It seems we've let a troublesome enemy escape," Usopp remarked, arms crossed.

Is he an enemy?

The goofy Chopper hadn't quite processed the sudden change in identity from the guy he'd been having so much fun with.

“Indeed, it would be quite troublesome if he went against us.”

“He just imitated our faces. Except for Bai Yun, if he uses this to become one of us, we won’t be able to tell the difference.”

Nami made the seriousness of the situation clear.

"However, I don't need to be afraid of him, that's for sure."

"We should be glad that we met him and know his abilities, so that we can prepare countermeasures in advance."

Zoro smiled and said that although they let Bon Clay go, knowing his abilities beforehand wasn't necessarily a bad thing for them.

Bai Yun walked up and nodded.

"I agree with what Zoro said on that point."

“We can come up with some strategies to distinguish us from him, such as some kind of sign.”

"Also, Vivi, I think the greatest use of imitating the king's face would be for..."

"What!!"

Weiwei asked anxiously.

"The king's 'tyranny' exacerbated the conflict between the royal army and the rebels."

"It intensifies the rebels' desire to rebel."

"The defection of the previous 30 Kingdom troops may have been due to being misled by that Mr. 2."

Vivi was stunned for a moment, then understood why the 30-strong Kingdom army had defected.

"However, just as Zoro said, we encountered Mr. 2 first, which may be the arrangement of the god of fate."

"We can prepare in advance."

"Moreover, your main purpose in going back is to persuade the rebels. Explaining Mr. 2's ability will increase the chances of persuasion. However, if you can capture Mr. 2 and make him use his ability on the spot, the effect should be even better."

“There’s no need to panic. We’re very close to Alabasta now, Vivi.”

Bai Yun comforted him.

Nami walked over to Vivi and patted her on the back. "That's right, Vivi, Bai Yun is right."

"quack!"

Karu echoed this.

Weiwei took a deep breath and nodded. "Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome."

.........

The waters near Sunday Island.

The Merry sailed slowly across the sea, and its arrival here proved that Alabasta was very close.

A giant sea cat suddenly emerged from the sea and blocked the way for the Going Merry.

This made Luffy and his crew, who had been starving for four days, drool.

"Food!! Food!!!"

"Let me cut him down!!"

Sensing the murderous aura, the sea cat immediately took a step back. What's going on? I just came out for some fresh air.

"Sea cat? It should be easy to cook, but it ran away from everyone else."

Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were eager to make their move, but Vivi struck them on the back of the head with her staff, sending them flying.

Because the sea lion is a sacred animal to the people of Alabasta.

After being rescued, the sea cat immediately dived back into the sea, wiping the cold sweat from its forehead. "Really, these days..." it thought.

"The food has run away."

Luffy was so angry that he started gnawing on the ship's railing.

Vivi sighed, "You'll have a full meal soon."

"The appearance of the sea cat proves that we are almost in Alabasta."

"Those things that appeared later, weren't they also evidence of getting close to Alabasta?"

Zoro suddenly interjected.

Everyone looked up and saw many pirate ships bearing the BW logo appearing on the sea.

"It seems that BW's senior staff are starting to assemble."

Bai Yun said.

Vivi nodded solemnly, "Yes, a full 200 people, a fighting force that Whiskey Peak cannot compare to at all."

"Then let's sink them with cannons!"

Usopp yelled.

"It would be easier to just fly over and fight! No, we should go eat first!"

Luffy said that without being hit by the cannon, Luffy's fighting power was reduced by half.

"Idiot, don't worry about those small fry."

"We need to prioritize; we only need nine people."

Zoro said.

Bai Yun agreed and continued, "That's right, and Usopp, with so many of their ships, are you sure you can outgun us?"

"Once we clash with them, we'll be busy just intercepting their shells."

"At this point, fighting these small fry is not a sensible decision; our target is the biggest fish."

"That's right, it wouldn't be good if something happened to the Going Merry!"

Usopp realized what Bai Yun meant and nodded in affirmation.

"In short, bandage your hands."

Bai Yun answered, and everyone nodded and began to tie bandages around their hands.

"We're getting closer to the port. Let's stop at the western estuary and hide the ship."

After bandaging herself, Nami began to observe the distance between the port and the ship.

Soon the boat docked.

"Alright, in short, no matter what happens in the future, this badge on your hand means you're one of us!"
