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

After saying that, Ace rushed out of the restaurant.

Bai Yun smiled and shook his head; the two of them looked exactly the same as when they were children.

He bowed slightly to the restaurant owner and said, "Thank you for your hospitality."

"Oh...you're welcome, please come again next time."

The owner replied blankly, watching as Bai Yun also left the restaurant.

The waiter suddenly realized, "Boss, did they... not pay?"

The boss looked at the broken wall, then at Bai Yun's vanished figure, and could only say six things.

"..."

........

"Tashigi!!"

"Yes! Yes! Mr. Smoker! What is this towel? This country is so hot."

Luffy ran outside, where Tashigi and the other soldiers were already waiting.

Tashigi is severely nearsighted, with her eyes positioned on her forehead. She only recognized him as The Smoker because of his voice.

"Stop that guy, he's Straw Hat Boy."

"Straw Hat Boy!"

"I stopped him!"

Tashigi immediately drew her sword, Shigure, and slashed at him, but she still couldn't remove his eyes, or rather, she didn't have time to.

Luffy kept chewing his food as he ran.

Tashigi swung her sword, and Luffy leaped onto the rooftop in a few bounds.

"Humph!"

Smoker snorted coldly, his lower body turned into mist and he flew up, throwing a smoke punch. Luffy immediately jumped down and narrowly dodged it.

........

Meanwhile, after a good meal and changing into their desert outfits, Zoro and his companions were sitting in the cool of an alleyway.

Vivi explained that the next place they were going to was a place called "Yobba," which was the rebels' stronghold.

Zoro suddenly pulled her over.

"Wait, hide quickly."

"It's the navy. Why are they here... and making quite a fuss? Have pirates appeared?"

No sooner had Zoro finished speaking than Luffy was chased by Smoker and the Marines.

"Oh, it's you!!"

I kept complaining to myself.

Everyone immediately turned around in unison and walked away as if nothing had happened.

Even though he had changed clothes, Luffy recognized Zoro instantly.

"Hi! Zoro!!"

Zoro paused.

"What! We've found Straw Hat Boy's accomplices!"

"Ah, everyone is here."

Luffy said with a smile.

"Idiot, don't attract them here."

Nami exclaimed speechlessly.

"Get out of my way!"

Smoker ran to the front and threw a punch.

"You can't escape!"

"White Impact!"

Smoker's fist was about to hit Luffy's back.

"Kagerou!" ×2

Two shouts of "Yangyan" rang out, and two bursts of flame erupted, completely engulfing Smoker's smoky fist.

As the flames subsided, Smoker saw Ace standing in front of Luffy and said with a grim face.

"you again."

"Give up. You are the smoke, and I am the fire. We are evenly matched."

"But we have two."

Ace, his cowboy hat obscuring one eye, looked at Smoker and spoke. The last sentence was spoken by Bai Yun, who appeared from behind Ace, his hand also ablaze with flames.

Who is that guy?

Usopp asked.

Luffy was quite surprised, "A...Ace!!"

Ace turned his head to the side, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "You haven't changed at all, Luffy."

"That applies to you as well."

Bai Yun stared at Smoker, but his words were meant for Ace.

"Hahahaha, really?"

"I've grown a lot."

Ace replied with a smile.

"Alright, we can chat later."

"Luffy, you guys retreat first, Ace and I will cover you!"

Bai Yun shouted.

"good!!"

Luffy turned and ran, showing his trust in Ace and Baiyun, while the smile on his face revealed his joy at reuniting with Ace.

........

"elder brother!!"

"Was that guy you and Bai Yun's brother just now?"

On the Going Merry, everyone was still surprised by the presence of Luffy and his older brother, Haku.

"Yes, that's my older brother."

"It's not surprising that you have an older brother, but why is he on the Grand Line?"

Zoro asked.

"Because he was also a pirate, and his target was also the One Piece."

“He is three years older than me and Bai Yun, so he went to sea three years earlier than us.”

Luffy tilted his head slightly in reply, as if his childhood memories were right before his eyes.

"I never imagined that all three of you brothers had eaten Devil Fruits."

Sanji sighed.

"Hahaha, I was shocked too. Ace didn't eat a Devil Fruit when he was a kid."

"But he's very strong; I never won a fight against him."

"Bai Yun also loses more often than he wins."

"Anyway, Ace is really strong."

Luffy's words shocked Usopp. Ace, as a child, had actually defeated Luffy and Hakuyun, both Devil Fruit users, while he was just an ordinary person.

Bai Yun: No, no, it's just that I don't fight. (The reason Bai Yun won was because his bracelet turned into a flintlock pistol, and he told Ace that times had changed.)

"As expected, the monster's brother is a monster too!"

Usopp sighed.

"Hahaha, that's right, I lost everything."

"But I should win now."

Luffy sat on the ship's railing, laughing as he replied that he didn't care at all about losing to Ace when they were kids—of course, he didn't care now, but back then...

As soon as Luffy finished speaking, Ace's voice came over.

"You kid..."

Ace kicked Luffy off the ship's railing and onto the deck, then squatted down on the railing in Luffy's place, pressing his hat down as he spoke.

Who will they beat?

Just trying to look cool.

But Ace's cool act wasn't over yet. Just like a chain reaction, Bai Yun kicked Ace from behind.

"You jerk, you're on our ship, how dare you be so arrogant!"

Chapter 134 Don't go

As fate would have it, Luffy and Bai Yun found themselves in a restaurant in the port city of Alabasta called "Rapeseed Flower." The "restaurant" is the key point, marking their reunion with Ace after three years apart.

After shaking off Smoker, they went aboard the Going Merry to chat.

Just as Ace kicked Luffy off the ship's railing onto the deck, Bai Yun came over and kicked him off as well.

"You jerk, you're on our ship, how dare you be so arrogant!"
