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

"Furthermore, I have already agreed to set sail with Luffy as a crewmate."

"Therefore, allow me to refuse. There must always be someone by Luffy's side, not between you and me."

Upon hearing Luffy's name, Dragon's smile froze, and his eyes filled with guilt and longing.

"It's a good thing you're not our enemy; you have too much dirt on us."

"Haha, I should be honored to be said that by you at my age."

"Luffy, Ace, Sabo, and I have already drunk the sworn brotherhood wine."

“We are brothers, and no matter where we are or what we do, this relationship will never change.”

"I need something to contact."

"I won't bother you all the time."

Long laughed, a very happy laugh. He never expected that the one who understood him best was a young boy.

They couldn't take the person with them, and they even lost a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter).

"Thank you, I will take good care of myself."

Bai Yun took the Den Den Mushi, carefully put it inside his clothes, and glanced one last time at Sabo lying on the ground.

"Then, until we meet again."

"Uncle Long, Ivankov, Uncle Bear."

After saying that, Bai Yun took off on the wind and flew towards the mouth of the bay.

"Yay!!! Isn't that your power, Dragon!"

Ivankov, his eyes painted with death eyeliner, stared wide-eyed at the flying Bai Yun, looking quite surprised.

Long nodded; he seemed much calmer now.

"Looks like this kid wasn't lying."

Then he scooped up Sabo.

"Let's go, let's take the first step to change the world."

Chapter 23 The righteous path is one foot high, the evil path is ten feet high

I was turned away.

Blue Sauce could only lead his crew back to the mouth of the bay. Looking at the ship that had been engulfed in flames, Blue Sauce recalled what the king had said to him on the phone.

It turned out that everything was a trap set by the king.

"You bastard, you'll remember this!!"

Anger surged within her, and Lan Jiang continued to utter harsh words.

While the other kingdom is now sitting on a sofa drinking red tea, enjoying themselves immensely, he himself is trapped in a sea of ​​fire, and whether he can escape is another matter entirely.

Moreover, the bottomless pit of desire in a person's heart can never be filled.

Trapped in the inferno, Lan Jiang wasn't thinking about how to escape, but rather how to make a comeback.

Making a comeback requires money; who has the money?

Ace and his crew's treasure is money.

But that's often how fate works. If he hadn't gone back to find Ace and Luffy, he could have survived.

.......

"Whoosh...whoosh...the fire is huge. I wonder if the uncles at the garbage dump managed to escape safely."

Even though he was in the same sea of ​​fire, Luffy was still worried about others. I really cried.

But Ace thought it was stupid, "What's going on? You still have the nerve to care about others?!"

"Damn it, they don't even know where this place is."

The flames burned some things to ashes, and with the billowing smoke, Ace could no longer tell where he was going.

To make matters worse, Blue appeared in front of them again, blocking their way.

"Hey! You brats, who gave you permission to run away!"

"Blue Sauce!"

"Why would the arsonist still be here? Shouldn't he have escaped long ago?"

Luffy was puzzled by Blue-chan's behavior of not escaping while still in the sea of ​​fire, despite being the arsonist.

"Shut up, you brat!"

Blue was already annoyed, and Luffy's words made her even more annoyed.

"Grab them!"

"Aren't we work partners? If we die, we die together..."

“Tell us where the treasure is before it is destroyed by fire, and we will spare your lives.”

Ace was shocked. "Your life is in danger, and you're still thinking about treasure!"

"So, are you willing to talk now?"

"Wouldn't it be a waste if you didn't go and get it?"

"Blue Sauce said."

Ace fell silent, but the treasure had already been moved to the mountains, and now he felt that Bai Yun had been very prescient.

But Blue-chan didn't know that they had already moved the treasure, which could be exploited.

"Okay, I'll tell you!"

Ace, with a stern face, told Lan Jiang the original location of the treasure.

But as the saying goes, "the devil is one foot tall, but the righteous are ten feet tall"—or, from their perspective, it should be said that "the righteous are one foot tall, but the devil is ten feet tall."

.......

"What are you doing! Didn't I already tell you the location?!"

Ace revealed the location of the treasure, but Blue's men not only refused to release Luffy, but also captured Ace as well.

"Who knows if you're lying or not, you all have to come along."

Blue Sauce replied.

Ace was furious. "Are you going to your deaths with me?!"

"Stop joking! By the time you find it, there will be nowhere left to run. Go find it yourselves!"

"Don't piss me off!!"

Blue-chan drew her gun and pointed it at Ace, her face growing even darker.

"Even if I have to rely on that brat's treasure, I swear I will make a comeback and take revenge on that damned king and those damned nobles."

"Your brother is the same way; they see everyone else as trash."

"Being with you guys only makes me feel superior. Otherwise, do you think someone with his immense wealth would come to a garbage dump to hang out with trash like you?!"

"Sabo didn't think that way at all!!"

Ace roared, "Sabo and their friendship cannot be slandered!"

"Don't be silly!"

He looks down on you and is secretly laughing at you!

Lan Jiang replied loudly, having been tricked like this, he now saw all the nobles in the world as the same kind of people.

Ace glared at Blue, veins bulging on his forehead.

"You are not allowed to slander Sabo again!!!"

"Yes! Sabo just wants freedom!!"

Luffy, unable to bear it any longer, bit the arm of the pirate who was holding his throat.

The pirate, in pain, released Luffy, but angrily drew the long sword from his back.

Luffy tried to block the blade with the water pipe, but how could a water pipe without any reinforcements possibly stop the blade?

The water pipe was split in two, and the blade sliced ​​across Luffy's right forehead, splattering blood.

Just as the next strike was about to hit Luffy's body, Ace unconsciously unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.

"stop!!!"

"Conqueror's Haki!"

Upon arriving at the bay entrance, all that could be seen from above was swirling smoke. Just as Bai Yun was about to use his replicated Observation Haki, he sensed the Conqueror's Haki and immediately flew towards the direction from which the aura was erupting.

........

As Roger's descendant, Ace's talent must have been considerable; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become one of the first generation of Supernovas.

With his Conqueror's Haki, he had a great ability to clear out the minions, leaving only Blue standing on the field.

It was a scene straight out of a ghost story. Lan-chan watched as her subordinates collapsed instantly, foaming at the mouth.

Thinking it was Ace's doing, he kicked Ace to the ground, stepped on him, and pointed his gun at him.

On the other side, Luffy, severely injured, gritted his teeth but couldn't get up.

"Ace!!"

"don't want..."

Chapter 24 Fight for Freedom

Ace was being trampled under Blue's feet, and it looked like Blue was about to pull the trigger.

At the critical moment.

Dadan arrived with her henchmen and swung an axe at Lan Jiang.

"Stop! You green-haired devil, let go of Ace!"
