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

Bell said righteously.

Vivi understood what Bai Yun and Belle wanted to do. She hesitated, and before she could say "Isn't there any other way?", Bai Yun spoke first.

"Have you forgotten that I am just an avatar? It doesn't matter if I die. There's no need to sacrifice a real life."

Vivi and Belle were stunned.

"Yeah, Bai Yun, you're a clone, so hurry up!!"

Vivi said happily.

Bai Yun smiled and said, "Although, Weiwei, what you said is really hurtful. Even clones have rights, you know."

Vivi realized she had lost her composure. "I'm sorry, I just..."

"It's okay, it's nothing."

Bai Yun replied, reaching out to pull the enormous bomb out of the cannon barrel.

Just as Bai Yun was about to take a step, Weiwei suddenly asked.

"Bai Yun, if your clone dies, will it affect your main body?"

Bai Yun tilted his head slightly, "It has no effect. It's just that my body felt a momentary heartbreak. As for that feeling... it's better if you don't know."

"gone."

Chapter 172 Have you ever seen a palm strike that falls from the sky?

"That's... Bai Yun!!!"

The battle beneath the tomb was nearing its end.

Meanwhile, at the clock tower above, Bai Yun, the clone, decides to sacrifice himself to watch a spectacular fireworks display.

Zoro and the others watched from below and saw Bai Yun emerge carrying a huge bomb.

"Could it be that Bai Yun intends to sacrifice himself to send the bomb into the sky?!"

Usopp shared his guess.

For a moment they felt a little sad, even though this Bai Yun was just an avatar.

"Bai...Bai Yun!!!!!"

Usopp was just thinking to himself that Bai Yun was a real man when he heard Bai Yun land there holding a bomb.

It's landed here!!!!

Usopp and Chopper were so scared their eyes almost popped out.

Upon landing, Bai Yun held the bomb in one hand and smiled at them.

Usopp, Chopper, and Nami quickly hid behind Sanji and Zoro.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so scared?"

Bai Yun said with a smile.

"What are you doing?! Bai Yun, why did you take down such a huge bomb?!"

Nami immediately shouted.

"It's okay, there are still 10 seconds left."

"Oh, it's nine seconds."

Bai Yun replied calmly.

Nine seconds!!!

Usopp was in tears and almost collapsed in fright.

"Okay, okay, it's alright."

Bai Yun comforted him, then looked at Sanji.

"Sanji-kun, how's your air pressure technique coming along?"

The clone Bai Yun thought to himself, "If there's a way to avoid being blown up, why bother getting blown up? Are you just playing around with being blown up?"

Sanji and Zoro remained calm, understanding that Bai Yun would not harm them.

"I don't think I know how yet."

Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke and replied.

"At least you can still kick!"

Bai Yun smirked and threw the bomb over.

Nami, Usopp, and Chopper were so frightened that they transformed and screamed.

Sanji understood what Bai Yun meant.

He took a step back with his right foot, then jumped up and kicked the bomb up to about two-thirds of the way up the clock tower.

Bai Yun nodded. "Not bad. Watch me now."

Bai Yun shot up like a rocket, moving at incredible speed. When he reached the bomb, he was flipped upside down by the force of gravity.

Taking advantage of the moment when gravity and Newton were not paying attention, he braced his feet under the bomb and used the air compression technique. The impact burst out instantly, propelling the entire bomb upwards.

The bomb exploded instantly at a point two-thirds the height of the clock tower.

The sparks, covering an area roughly the size of the entire square, resembled a dazzling fireworks display, instantly dispersing the dust and allowing sunlight to shine through.

Everyone looked up at the fireworks, and what followed seemed like the first rays of sunlight.

The recoil from Bai Yun's air-pressing technique and the impact of the explosion caused him to plummet rapidly towards the ground, but he mustn't panic!

Bai Yun stretched out his right hand, palm facing the ground, and thought to himself, "Have you ever seen a palm technique that falls from the sky?"

Then!

Then Bai Yun plunged straight into the ground, with only his calves sticking out.

Zoro reached out and pulled him out.

At this moment, Bell also came down with Vivi.

Bai Yun, looking disheveled, asked, "Is my hairstyle still okay?!"

"Yes, perfectly resolved."

"I told you, Weiwei, I swear on my integrity..."

Bai Yun was only halfway through his sentence when Weiwei hugged him.

"Thank you!! Bai Yun!! Thank you!!"

Bai Yun thought to himself, "I've made a profit, it's worth it."

......

The issues on the surface have been resolved, and the issues underground are almost settled as well.

After breaking Crocodile's poison needles, Luffy punched him in the stomach.

Crocodile gritted his teeth in pain, and blood spurted from between them.

Luffy then delivered a side kick to Crocodile's right cheek, sending him flying sideways into the air.

He swung another punch down, this time to Crocodile's right cheek, slamming him to the ground.

Crocodile lay on the ground, struggling to get up with one hand.

He couldn't understand. The scorpion venom must have taken effect. Where did Luffy get the strength? How could he still move like this and have such power?

What he didn't know was.

Just now, when Luffy stood in front of Bai Yun, Bai Yun had already injected the antidote into Luffy's body using a syringe made of his bracelet.

At that time, Luffy was still paralyzed, so he couldn't feel it himself.

Chapter 173 Luffy won!!!

Facing Luffy, who was clearly poisoned but was acting like he was on steroids.

Crocodile became increasingly confused the more he thought about it.

He recalled the news the Unlucky Duo had just shared with him about Luffy.

An unknown nobody.

Just a nobody!

With a clang, a piece of sword blade sprang out from the broken end of the poison needle.

"You nobody brat!! Who do you think I am?!"

As he shouted, Crocodile thrust his sword at him.

Luffy bent over at a 90-degree angle to dodge, then raised his foot and shouted.

"I don't care who you are!!!"

"I will surpass you!!!"

A high kick sent Crocodile flying into the ceiling.

Crocodile hovered in the air, looking at Luffy, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, "Get buried by the sand!!"

"Sandstorm!!"

Sand gathered in Crocodile's hand.

Meanwhile, Luffy below suddenly inhaled, expanded his body, and then twisted himself into a pretzel shape.

He lowered his head and released the air inside his body downwards, and like a deflated balloon, he spun and flew upwards.

The two were close again in an instant, one above and one below.

Crocodile, unable to shake off the sandstorm, immediately changed tactics, and the two attacked simultaneously.

"desert..."

"Rubber... rubber..."
