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

"Stop talking, kid. Go take a nap, or you'll die in my room."

"Ace and the others went to gather herbs for you. If they can't find any, they'll just steal some from the town."

"You should get some sleep first; they'll probably be back by the time you wake up."

Dadan, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, was concerned about Bai Yun, but he was just being stubborn.

Bai Yun glanced at the clock on the wall; it was 6:10 PM.

He nodded and closed his eyes. In three days, the Celestial Dragons would be arriving, and he had to recover from his illness before then.

.......

A close-up shot shows time itself acting as a sprite, pushing the hands of a clock to spin rapidly.

Bai Yun slowly opened his eyes, feeling as if a century had passed.

Looking at the clock, it was 6:05 PM.

"Time has reversed?"

Obviously not, Bai Yun has been sleeping all day.

Although Dadan had a sharp tongue, she still loved Bai Yun and the others, and sat cross-legged next to Bai Yun, dozing off.

Bai Yun looked around and saw only the other bandits. He didn't see Luffy and his crew and realized something was wrong.

"What the hell could be such a coincidence?!"

Bai Yun directly replicated Dadan's physique. As a bandit, Dadan's physique was still quite good.

Replicating someone else's physique doesn't mean that any injury or illness will immediately heal.

Instead, it is this person's constitution that causes this injury and this illness.

Therefore, Bai Yun is now running a high fever using 60% of Da Dan's physical condition. Although he still feels his head is very heavy, it is much better than his own physical condition.

"Hey kid! What are you doing?!"

Dadan was awakened by Bai Yun's noise. She saw Bai Yun, who still had a fever, put on a coat and ran out.

Bai Yun stopped and realized what was happening. He had panicked too much and couldn't panic; there was still some time before nightfall.

"Dadan, hurry and get everyone moving to rescue Ace and Luffy! They've been kidnapped by pirates! In that harbor at Garbage Mountain!"

After saying that, Bai Yun ran out without waiting for Da Dan and the others.

Dadan was left standing there, stunned, the cigarette in his mouth falling to the ground. After realizing what had happened, he immediately shouted...

"Quick! Quick! Grab your weapons! Keep up with that kid, Bai!!"

.......

Just as Bai Yun guessed, after Blue Sauce used Luffy and Ace to move the oil and bombs from the burning garbage mountain, he discarded them like a used tool.

"What!"

"Burn the garbage mountain!"

"We need to hurry and tell those old men at the foot of the garbage dump!"

Ace and Luffy were both shocked when they heard the news from Blue.

"Don't shout so loudly, or the people at Garbage Mountain will hear you."

"King Goa has promised me that he will grant me noble status only if the garbage mountain is successfully burned."

"To think that I went to all this trouble just for a noble status, while your so-called Sabo brothers gave up their noble status to go to the garbage dump, how foolish!"

Sabo and Blue Sauce are typical examples of people in the city wanting to get out, and people outside the city wanting to get in.

"Now that you know the plan, we can't let you leave."

"One last question for you: where did you hide the treasure?"

With a gloomy face, Lan Jiang squatted down and asked Ace and Luffy that he not only wanted the status of a nobleman, but also Ace and Luffy's treasure.

But I'm afraid that in the end I'll get nothing.

.......

Bai Yun, dragging his ailing body, arrived at the garbage mountain, but the sun had already set and night had fallen.

Looking at the homeless people lying on the ground, who had lost interest in life, Bai Yun still couldn't bear it.

"Tonight, those nobles in Gao Town are going to burn down the garbage mountain!"

"Run now!"

Bai Yun shouted, but no one present cared. Where could they go after leaving the garbage mountain?

You can't reason with a damned devil!

But Bai Yun didn't have time to persuade them anymore.

From the town's wall, a shell was launched and landed on the outer edge of the garbage mountain. It exploded with a bang, and then the kerosene and bombs buried under the garbage were ignited, causing a chain reaction.

Flames ignited at the outer edge of the garbage mountain, forming a wall of fire that burned inwards.

The darkness was instantly illuminated by the firelight, turning the night sky red.

King Goa wanted to burn not only the garbage mountains, but also the lowly people living on them, who were a stain on the Goa Kingdom.

Well, now that's how it is. People always wake up at the last minute. The residents of those garbage mountains can't stay still anymore and have all gotten up to run for their lives!

Chapter 21 Monkey D. Dragon

Seeing this, Bai Yun stopped paying attention to these people. Da Dan and the others caught up with Bai Yun at this time. Luckily, if they had been any slower, they would have been right in the range of the bomb.

"Young man Bai!"

Dadan called out, but Bai Yun did not answer, his mind replaying the incident.

Finally, I made up my mind.

"Dadan".

"Go to the bay entrance and rescue Luffy and Ace!"

"how about you?"

Dadan asked.

"I'm fine, I'm going to save Sabo!"

"Hurry! The fire is spreading!"

After giving his instructions, Bai Yun headed towards the border town gate without looking back. That was the back gate of the Goya Kingdom, and one could only enter the border town by passing through the garbage mountain, but he guessed that the gate would already be closed by now.

Bai Yun didn't care; his goal wasn't to get to the town, but rather Sabo and... Luffy's father, Dragon!

........

On this side of the border town gate, inside the town, the King's Guard was still hypocritically reminding the townspeople not to approach the gate, saying they would put out the fire.

Since the fire originated from them, it naturally wouldn't go out until the last piece of trash on the mountain was burned.

Strangely, the residents of the garbage mountain knew that they could escape once the town gates opened, but they also knew that the nobles would not allow them into the town.

Blue, being a pirate, is even more naive than them.

"Burn! Burn!"

"Once this task is completed, our long-cherished wish will be fulfilled, and the kingdom will grant us noble status! Hahaha!"

As she walked towards the gate, Lan Jiang began to fantasize about her aristocratic life.

But what awaited him was a door tightly shut, so tight that not a crack could be seen!

"What the hell!"

"What's going on! Open the door!"

"Wasn't it agreed that completing this task would grant us noble status?"

"You bastard!! You're playing us!!!"

He knew it, but it was too late.

The Royal Guard behind the door said, "Shout all you want, I'll open the door and I'll admit defeat."

It was only then that Lan Jiang realized he had been tricked by the king. He had initially lured them in by posing as a nobleman, but his real intention was to burn them all alive.

They could also conveniently shift the blame for the arson onto the pirates, while the king remained uninvolved, and even had his guards cooperate in the performance to enhance his prestige—it was practically a complete victory.

........

When Bai Yun arrived near the town gate, the Blue Sauce Pirates were no longer there.

With a fever and the surrounding fire, Bai Yun felt as if his body was being burned to a crisp.

Before Bai Yun could even begin his search, the dragon appeared behind him like a ghost.

"juvenile..."

Just as Ke Long opened his mouth, Sabo was thrown off the wall.

"Sabo!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Yun immediately rushed over.

Dragon was faster than him, and instantly flashed over to catch Sabo.

Dragon put Sabo down, but Sabo's legs went weak and he couldn't stand up. It wasn't fear, but despair and disgust.

Bai Yun immediately helped him up.

"Sabo!"
