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

........

Luffy placed the gold nuggets he had stolen on the tree stump table, in front of Cricket.

Kurikate stared silently at the gold nugget, while Luffy smiled slightly at him.

The background noise at this moment is the gorillas and apes urging their subordinates to set off to escort them.

Kulikate took the cigarette butt out of his mouth and pressed it onto the ashtray, even though the ashtray was already piled with a "small mountain" of cigarette butts.

It's true that a small amount of lung tissue was found in a large amount of smoke.

"Let's get going. Do you want to waste such a great opportunity to go to heaven?"

"And Bai Yun, right? Is that kid alright?"

Luffy's smile deepened, revealing his white teeth.

"Hehe, it's okay. Bai Yun stayed there not because of Bellamy and the others. He didn't tell me why, but I believe he will come back."

"Also, thank you for fixing my boat."

Kulikate pointed behind him to the boats of the gorillas and apes. "We should thank them."

"Ah! Thank you so much!! I'll give Hercules to you, anyway, Bai Yun has some."

Luffy extended the rhinoceros beetle from his hand.

The gorilla seemed very excited. "Really?! You're such an incredibly kind person!!"

The ape was also very happy, "Anyway, let's get on the boat quickly, the sooner the better."

The gorilla nodded in agreement, "Okay, we'll lead the way, and you can follow behind."

"Hurry up, Luffy!!"

Nami stood at the bow of the Flying Going Merry and shouted, "Everyone else, get on board! Luffy is the only one missing!"

"coming!!"

Kulikate sat on the tree stump chair, touching the bag containing gold nuggets with deep emotion.

There are people who absolutely do not believe in the existence of Sky Island and think that those who do believe in it are fools.

There are also people who go even knowing that their names will be in danger.

The grip tightened, for this was not only an adventure for Luffy and his crew, but also his only chance to prove the existence of the Golden City.

"Saruyama Combined Forces!"

Kulikate suddenly opened his mouth and shouted so loudly that you could see his throat.

"Oh oh oh!!"

"Hey hey! Sir!!"

The members of the Saruyama Alliance on the ship thumped their chests and raised their hands in response.

Listen up!! This mission absolutely cannot fail!

"No matter what happens, we will protect these guys to the very end."

"Yes, sir! Ooh ooh ooh!!"

The crowd responded, as if they had arrived at Flower Fruit Mountain.

Kurikate walked up to the Going Merry with a smile, looked up at Luffy and said.

"Kid, I'm saying goodbye here."

"There is one thing that is absolutely certain."

Kurikate spoke earnestly, and Luffy listened attentively.

"Then no one has ever proven that the Sky Island and the Golden City do not exist!!"

"Bellamy and his ilk are just spouting nonsense without any evidence!!"

"Some might say this is fallacy, but so what?"

"It is because of dreams that romance can be created!!"

When she got excited, Kulikate opened her arms wide.

However, as romantic as it may be, it still feels a bit childish.

"[Romantic!]"

Luffy repeated, clearly he didn't understand.

Yes x2

Two voices rang out at the same time, and just as everyone was wondering, Bai Yun popped out of Luffy's shorts pocket.

Everyone was startled.

"White Luck!!!"

.........

Rewind to the battle between Bai Yun and the Blackbeard Pirates in Mock Town.

It wasn't daytime yet, but it would be soon.

After a few moves...

Bai Yun's record is that he seriously injured Oka, Burgess and Doc Q were slightly injured, and his main target Blackbeard was only slightly injured.

On Blackbeard's side, only Blackbeard punched Bai Yun in the back, but even that single punch drained half of Bai Yun's health.

He was beaten while still in his own physical condition. Now that he's out of Blackbeard's grasp and back to Garp's size, he's mostly unharmed. But once the rerun ends, he'll probably be in a lot of pain.

Because the injury was sustained by someone with their own physique, it will remain. But even if the injury was sustained by someone with Garp's physique, it will remain if their defense is breached. After all, it's a replica of Garp's physique, not a replica of Garp's body used as a shield.

.........

Poison Q went to rescue Oka.

White Fortune is currently facing Blackbeard in front and Burgess behind.

Burgess is not a threat; the rest of the time should be spent launching a fierce attack on Blackbeard.

"No! No!!"

"Given your strength, my punch couldn't possibly have that much power."

"No! No!!"

Blackbeard suddenly realized that, as a "true" pirate tyrant, he was certainly not stupid.

"That's funny. What, you don't believe in yourself at all?"

Bai Yun returned home.

Blackbeard did not answer. He believed in himself and aimed to become the world's ruler, but he would not blindly believe in himself.

"I understand."

"Your strength to lift Burgess up and throw him, your power like a great swordsman, your ability to control the wind."

"It's a capability you possess because of your own abilities."

"So, when my right hand touched you, you lost all those abilities, which is why I was able to punch you until you coughed up blood, right?!"

"Thief, hahaha!!"

After discovering the truth, Blackbeard burst into laughter.

"Such an ability must have some side effects, flaws, or weaknesses."

"Kid, so that's all you're made of? I'll take this ability!! Hahahaha!!"

Making outrageous statements, Blackbeard is already trying to steal Whitebeard's abilities.

"Yeah?"

"Come and take it if you dare!!"

Bai Yun raised his hand, palm facing the sky, and a ball of wind pressure gathered in his palm, gradually growing larger, thanks to the inspiration given by a certain genin.

With a wave of his hand, Bai Yun threw a huge ball of wind pressure towards Blackbeard.

The raging wind blew up some of the roof planks and sheared the ground off.

Faced with such an attack, Blackbeard was not afraid at all. He raised his right palm again, and a black hole appeared that swallowed the wind pressure ball.

Chapter 223 Kick him into the sea

As time passed and dawn slowly approached, well, this was the activation time for Bai Yun's ultimate move. Once daylight arrived, it would enter its cooldown period. With his current strength, he could probably beat Bellamy, but beating Blackbeard would be suicide!

........

Having replicated the Dragon Fruit's ability, Bai Yun temporarily possesses the ability to control the wind.

Bai Yun churned out a "wind ball" and hurled it at Blackbeard.

A violent gust of wind swept by, shearing off a third of the ground.

Like a raging dragon opening its mouth to tear at something.

Faced with such an attack, Blackbeard stood still. Knowing that Bai Yun's strength was merely due to his Devil Fruit ability, he was no longer afraid. He knew that if he could just hold onto Bai Yun next time, Bai Yun would surely die.

As the pressure ball hurtled towards him, Blackbeard raised his right palm, black smoke enveloped his body, and a black hole appeared in his palm, swallowing the pressure ball whole.

Bai Yun remained calm in the face of this situation, as if he had already guessed it.

"Hehehe, kid, I admire geniuses. I'll ask you one more time, do you want to join us?"

"Our goal is world domination, the pinnacle of the world, zehahahaha!!!"

Blackbeard, with his arm still raised, threw the branch at Bai Yun again.

But no matter what branch he threw, Bai Yun did the same thing: he broke it off, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it.

"hehe."

"World hegemon, the pinnacle of the world?"

"Just you?"
