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

Now, without Franky, the Merry only has one gun emplacement.

Even with Bai Yun and Luffy concentrating their attention, many spears still managed to pierce the bottom of the Going Merry.

"You guys need to think of something quickly!! There's no way to repair the hull."

Chopper in human form burst out from under the ship, wielding a hammer and shouting, "We can't fix it! We simply can't fix it!"

........

"The Black Threshold Army's famous formation, the Black Spear Formation!"

"You think you can break this?! Idiots!!"

Suddenly, two familiar faces emerged from the two ships to the south.

"The world's greatest hypnotist" Zango and "the world's greatest iron fist" Fenbdi.

They met for some reason and were attracted by Hina's beauty, so they joined the Navy and became her subordinates.

"Hypnotist! Aren't you a pirate?!"

Luffy shouted.

"I feel like I've seen that person next to me somewhere before."

Sanji stroked his chin and murmured.

He didn't remember anyone who had wasted the food, even though they had grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up before.

"You've been unlucky to run into me for a hundred years!! I'm going to sink that violent chef and his buddies."

"Come...look at this circle, I'm going to prove I'm not a pervert today!!"

Finbdi raised his fists, and Zango took out his hypnotic hoop; both of them pulled out their "signature moves."

Usopp quietly got down to business and fired a cannon straight at the target.

It hit the target squarely, and one ship capsized, taking another with it.

Defeat the enemy in the south.

"Usopp, did you do that? That's amazing!!"

Luffy said in surprise.

But looking at Usopp's expression, he hadn't expected that a single shot would have such an effect.

As expected of Usopp in dire straits.

Bai Yun agreed.

He had been holding back from swearing for a long time, but he felt that his luck was still no match for "chosen" Usopp.

Chapter 183 The Path of Humans and Demons

With Usopp's masterful shot that destroyed two warships, Hina's Black Cage Formation was breached on the south side.

It's a good opportunity! But it's not.

If we want to go to Donggang Port to wait for Weiwei, then we can't retreat south; we have to go forward.

Seeing that one side of the Black Barrier Formation had been broken, Hina took off his cloak and threw it to his subordinates, then stretched out his hands and pressed them down.

"Once the ships are lined up in a row, you all step back. Don't get in the way; Hina is a nuisance..."

.........

"What are you doing! Hurry up and escape through that gap to the south!"

"That way the loss will be minimized."

"If you keep going forward, you'll be killed."

Seeing that the Going Merry was still moving forward, Bon Clay made a huge leap over, which drove Luffy and his crew crazy.

"This isn't a question of whether or not to flee."

"We must move forward."

“Look, these ships are starting to line up at the front, that’s a problem.”

"But it's easier to intercept them if there's only one side."

Bai Yun replied that Xiao Feng only had two words on his mind: "problem".

"Bai Yun is right, we must move forward."

"If you want to leave, then leave."

Luffy replied.

"Why!!"

Xiao Feng was puzzled.

His men next door were also calling for him to come back anxiously, "Lord Pen Suimo, hurry up, let's escape on our own!"

"We had an appointment with someone at Donggangkou at noon, so we didn't have time to take a detour and had to rush there directly."

Nami replied.

Xiao Feng turned around upon hearing this.

"Ha! Idiot! Idiot!!"

"You must have left behind treasures more precious than your lives at East Port, right? Go ahead and die if you want!!"

Bai Yun replied with a smile, "Whether it's a treasure or not is uncertain, but it's certainly quite 'expensive'."

Luffy raised his right hand and pressed it firmly against his straw hat. "We're going to meet our crewmates."

Xiao Feng's head snapped to attention, his jaw nearly dropping to the floor. He rushed to greet his comrades, for his comrades!!

Xiao Feng fell silent, then turned to his men from beside the Going Merry. "To run away now would be against the principles of the transvestite world!!"

"Even if it costs me my life, I will go to welcome my friends."

"If we don't save such loyal friends, how will you eat tomorrow?!"

"Listen up, everyone, including Straw Hat Boy!!"

"I'll take the clothes of the Straw Hat Boys on your ship and transform into the Straw Hat Boys' appearance."

"Let Blackbeard think that Straw Hat Boy and his crew have switched ships and are trying to escape!!"

"Straw Hat Kid, we'll split up and escape. We'll head south, and when Black Cage catches up, you two can head east!"

After Xiao Feng finished speaking, there was a moment of silence. Just as Luffy and his crew were about to speak, Xiao Feng's subordinates on the opposite Swan shouted in unison.

"Yes, sir! Lord Bon-sui-mo!!"

"Cover the Straw Hat Boys!!"

After shouting, they began to change their clothes.

Sanji lit a cigarette. "Not bad, you damn transvestite."

"Little Feng!!!"

Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper were moved to tears as they looked at the two shining words on Bon Clay's back.

Bai Yun raised his hand, and a pistol appeared. A bullet was fired at the Swan, instantly transforming into a clone that looked towards the Merry.

"This is my clone; it can be of some help."

(Just a quick note: As I mentioned before, the bracelet's ability to replicate under the moonlight is permanent, but there's a limit to the number of times it can be used, which I'll explain later. As for creating clones, that's the bracelet's Human-Human Fruit ability, which limits the number of clones to six, but there's no time limit, unless the original Bai Yun loses consciousness or runs out of stamina.)

The clones created under the moonlight can choose one ability to possess from the bracelet's replicated abilities, or the original body can replicate the Devil Fruit's ability. Only one ability and one technique can be replicated, and once used, the effect lasts for 30 minutes.

However, the clones created during the day can only possess the ability of the original body's copy fruit, and can only copy one ability at a time, with a time limit of 15 minutes. The limitation is on this ability, not on the clone itself.

The six clones Bai Yun created in Albana were all created beforehand from the rapeseed flowers, which is why they could use the bracelet's replication ability. The clones Bai Yun created to help Xiao Feng now only possess the Replicate Fruit's ability.

Xiao Feng understood Bai Yun's meaning: "He even used his clone to help me, that's really loyal!"

"I always said that we felt a special connection when we first met."

Bai Yun: "...Don't overthink it. I'm just worried that you won't be able to hold off Hei Jiannai for too long, and it wouldn't be good if she caught up with you."

Xiao Feng: "......."

"Hahahaha, so heartless...heartless yet loyal..."

Xiao Feng lay on his side on the side of the Merry, murmuring something in an emo-like manner.

.........

"Hahaha, is the Straw Hat Luffy you're looking for referring to me?"

"Hahaha, I was just kidding you guys."

Successfully lured Hina and her group away, but Xiao Feng and his group were also stopped by Hina.

Standing at the bow of the ship, with one foot on the side, still wearing his puffy pants, Xiao Feng laughed loudly, using Luffy's face.

The people behind, except for Bai Yun, are all "the Straw Hat Pirates of the 9.9 Yuan version".

But Bai Yun said it was much better than the goods from the Sabaody Archipelago two years later.

"Miss Hina, the goat boat has fled eastward."

At this point, the soldiers around Hina reported the news belatedly, but at this distance, it seemed impossible to catch up.

"Hahaha, you got tricked! We're experts in disguise, and friends with the Straw Hat Pirates!!"

"Mr. 2 Bon, who embodies the way of transvestites, is here at the end of the year~"

Xiao Feng stood on the edge of the boat, facing the words on his back towards Hina and the others, and almost fell overboard.

Bai Yun grabbed his flailing hand.

Xiao Feng steadied herself. "Whew! Whew! That was close, thank you so much, Bai Yun~" After saying that, Xiao Feng even winked.

Bai Yun: "...Don't force me to throw you over there!!"

"How utterly clueless about romance! How utterly clueless about romance..."

Xiao Feng murmured.
