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

Life was fulfilling and exciting, but life is never peaceful forever, and the trials that fate brings will always come.

........

That day, Ace, Sabo, and Luffy went to the town.

Bai Yun didn't go. He sometimes went and sometimes didn't go to their "saving money" activity. Although it was exciting, it was also tiring.

Bai Yun had originally planned to take a nice afternoon nap, but because of the newspaper in Dadan's hand, he couldn't fall asleep at all.

"Dogura, Magura, [Goa], what place is that?"

Dadan, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and a newspaper in his hand, asked.

Fish-Eyed Dogura explained that Mount Colbo, Garbage Mountain, and Windmill Village were all part of the Goa Kingdom's territory. However, the king didn't care about these dirty places outside the walls; his kingdom should be spotless.

Bai Yun turned to the side, thinking to himself, "Dadan, you don't even know where you live."

Keda Dan's next words made Bai Yun jump up.

"This country is sending a guest, who seems to be a very important person."

"The front page of the newspaper, making a fuss over nothing, is it really that important?"

"Those people called 'Celestial Dragons'?"

"What?!"

Bai Yun jumped up and shouted.

"scare!"

"You scared me! You suddenly had a seizure!"

Dadan was startled and complained.

Bai Yun ignored him, quickly darted past, and snatched the newspaper from Dadan's hand.

"Descendants of the Creator!"

The Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles, will inspect the Goa Kingdom, the most beautiful country in the East Blue, in one month.

The newspaper devoted the largest page to this story, especially the words "descendants of the Creator," which were so large that even a blind person could see them.

"W-what's wrong? Are you so surprised? Is something serious?"

Dadan knew that Baiyun was a polite child, and this was the first time he had ever snatched a newspaper like this. Was it really that serious?

"It's very serious!"

"But it has nothing to do with our Corpo Mountain."

Bai Yun returned home.

"That solves it! Even if the outside collapses, it'll be fine."

Dadan laughed and said that it had nothing to do with her, Kolpo Mountain, so who cares?

Bai Yun didn't answer, and immediately ran out to find Sabo. If his father caught him and took him back, then things would be in trouble!

........

After running away from Dadan's family, Bai Yun headed towards the safest route to the garbage mountain.

But halfway there, they saw Ace, Sabo, and Luffy under a tree on the edge of a cliff.

Ace and Luffy cornered Sabo behind a tree trunk. Bai Yun, seeing the situation, realized it was too late; Sabo's noble father had already discovered him.

"Speak quickly, Sabo!"

"What secrets do we still have between us? Speak up!"

Ace and Luffy pressed closer and closer.

Bai Yun also came over at this time.

Sabo saw it as a savior.

"White Luck".

"Look at those two, they keep interrogating me! What secrets do I have?"

Bai Yun glanced at him, still pretending, and walked over to Ace and Luffy, joining them.

"Just say it, Sabo."

Sabo was stunned. He thought Sabo had come to save him, but it turned out Sabo had come to add fuel to the fire!

"You tell me! Or I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Seeing him like this, Ace, with his fiery temper, couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed Sabo by the neck. Luffy also helped to get Sabo to confess honestly.

"Uh...ah...I'll talk! I'll talk."

.......

Ace: "The son of a nobleman!!!"

Luffy: "Who is it?!"

Sabo: "Me!"

"so what."

Ace and Luffy picked their noses with their pinkies and replied, as if there was nothing to hide.

"Didn't you tell me to say that?!"

Sabo, grinning angrily, shouted, "Who was that pushing me to the brink just now, and now they're acting all nonchalant?!"

But then Sabo changed his expression, saying with a hint of melancholy.

I lied to you, I'm sorry.

Luffy never cares about these things.

"Since you've apologized, then I'll forgive you."

Ace walked to the edge of the cliff and stood side by side with Bai Yun, gazing at the sea.

"But this really surprised me. Sabo, since you are a nobleman, why would you go to the garbage mountain?"

"You should know that those nobles regard the people in the garbage mountain as the same as the garbage under their feet."

"I'm different from them!"

Sabo immediately retorted.

"Although I have parents, I am still all alone."

"They only like 'someone' who can give them power and wealth."

"If I cannot marry a royal daughter, in their eyes I am worthless!"

"Nobility? Compared to that suffocating high town, and compared to the decades of my life that are already planned out for me, I actually think my current life is much better."

"Life with you all."

Bai Zhuan turned to look at Sabo. For someone like Sabo who loved freedom, his noble status was nothing short of a shackle.

"so!"

"Ace! Luffy! Hakuyun!"

"We must go to sea! Leave this country! To roam freely!"

"I want to see this vast world and then record it in a book. Learning about navigation is not painful for me at all."

"Let's become stronger! Let's become true pirates!!"

Sabo also ran to the shore and shouted his ideals to the sea.

Ace smiled and said, "Hehe, you don't need to tell me that!"

Even if the whole world denies my existence, even if they all hate me! I will become a great pirate and make them look at me with new eyes!!

After Sabo, it was Ace's turn. Ace's wish was simply to shed the title of "Son of the Pirate King" and become a pirate who surpassed Roger!

After Ace and Sabo, Bai Yun looked at Luffy.

The anime doesn't explicitly state what Luffy's dream is.

Bai Yun was very curious.

It would leave Ace stunned and Sabo amused.

It would make Ace feel regretful that he couldn't see it when he died.

In Rayleigh's recollection, Shanks said that Luffy's dream was the same as Roger's.

Whitebeard found this dream naive.

What could it be?

Seeing that Ace and Sabo had both shouted out their ideals with great enthusiasm, Luffy couldn't be left behind, so he put his hands on his hips and shouted towards the sea.

"Hehe, okay!"

"Then I..."

Chapter 19 Brotherhood Wine

"Then I'll become the Pirate King! I'll get the One Piece, buy up the whole world, and throw a global banquet!"

We want the whole world to have meat to eat, and for all people in the world to live in harmony!

Ideally, there shouldn't be any annoying bandits around!

Hmm... doing it like Dadan and the others would be fine!

"What?"

"I thought you were going to say something?"

"You really are interesting, Luffy!"

Ace and Sabo were both shocked but also found it funny. They never imagined Luffy had such a grand ambition: to buy the whole world!

Host a world-class banquet?
