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

Chapter 235 The road to pursuing a goal is always full of excitement.

Time flew by, and three hours passed quickly.

It is 10:10 a.m.

Bai Yun was leaving the tavern.

Bellamy and the others were so reluctant to see Bai Yun leave, afraid that he would stay even a second longer. They didn't respond to anything Bai Yun said and just wanted him to leave quickly.

Hey, Bai Yun wasn't having it. He went back to each person one by one, saying he'd only leave after he finished.

Bellamy and the others thought that meeting Bai Yun had paid off all the sins they had committed in their past and present lives.

.........

After saying goodbye to Bellamy and the others, Bai Yun went to the tallest existing building in Mogu Town and felt the wind blowing.

A seagull flew over and landed on Bai Yun's shoulder.

A person and a bird stare at each other.

Neither side was afraid of strangers.

Bai Yun knew he was probably "heinous" in the seagull world. Was this guy brave, or just stupid?

"I don't have fries here, that's the ultimate pursuit in life."

"This is not a dock, and the ultimate pursuit in life is not so easy to obtain."

Bai Yun turned his head back to look ahead and said.

The seagulls also looked ahead. Whether they could hear Bai Yun's words or understand them, who knows?

Perhaps it understood, for the seagull flapped its wings and took flight to find its ultimate goal.

As soon as it flew away, Bai Yun raised his hand and fired a shot.

"boom!!"

Missed.

But the seagull was terrified; a few feathers fell from its wings and it slowly drifted down.

Turning around, the seagull stared at Bai Yun, as if asking, "What do you mean by this?!"

Bai Yun lowered his hand, and the flintlock pistol transformed back into a bracelet.

"It doesn't mean anything, I just wanted to tell you that the road to pursuing your goals is always full of excitement."

"Like that."

Bai Yun pointed behind him, and the seagull, as if by magic, turned around again. In the far distance, so far that it was almost invisible, a huge column of water shot into the sky.

..........

5 minute ago.

The Flying Merry has officially entered the vortex orbit.

The ape told Luffy and his crew to go into the whirlpool and reach its center, where the current would break out.

The splashing waves soaked our faces, but no one had time to care about that now.

Nami covered her cheeks in fear, "They didn't say anything about entering the whirlpool beforehand!!"

Chopper was imagining what it would be like for the ship to be lifted up by the ocean current, and he felt a little excited about it.

Even the well-informed Robin exclaimed, "I've never seen such a huge whirlpool before."

Sanji immediately declared, "Everything will be alright, Nami, Robin. I'll protect you!!"

Usopp had gone "crazy," tears streaming down his face, yelling, "Stop! Stop! Stop!! Turn around and let me go back!!!"

"Give up, Usopp, we've already entered the vortex."

Zoro remained relatively calm and even tried to persuade Usopp.

Hiding behind him, Bai Yun also agreed, "Yeah, Usopp, stop struggling and just enjoy the feeling of flying."

As for why he hid behind Zoro, it was obviously to avoid the splashing waves. On the ship now, Zoro's back is indeed the broadest.

Bai Yun is about the same height as Zoro, but of course, he's not as well-built.

Luffy was the most excited, shouting, "Let's go!! Skypiea!!!"

........

As the Going Merry circled along the whirlpool's path, it gradually ventured deeper into its center. Suddenly, a gigantic sea king emerged from the whirlpool's core.

"Awoooooo!!!!"

Then it was swept away by the whirlpool. Its flesh was intact, but its bones were broken. It howled for half its body before going silent. Its entire enormous body was swept back into the sea.

This scene terrified Nami, Chopper, and Usopp, who were already scared, so much so that they hugged themselves tightly.

I thought to myself, "How the hell can I even get in here? Going in is just suicide!!"

Luffy, however, said goodbye to the ape as if nothing had happened, and sent them into the vortex orbit, their mission already accomplished.

"The rest is up to you!"

"Okay! Thank you for bringing us here, goodbye!!"

Luffy waved goodbye.

Nami and the other two went mad.

Chopper screamed in fear, unsure of who to look to.

Usopp begged the apes to come back and take him away, pleading, "Spare me! Let me go back! Do we even have a chance to survive in a place like this?!"

Nami still felt cheated. "Why didn't anyone tell me there was such a huge whirlpool? This is a scam!!"

"Haha, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, don't panic."

"The road to achieving your goals is always full of excitement!!"

Bai Yun spoke up, even though he was also afraid.

Chapter 236 The Flying Going Merry Takes Off!!

Seeing Nami, Usopp, and Chopper in a state of panic amidst the vortex, Bai Yun offered his opinion.

"The road to achieving your goals is always full of excitement!!"

"Haha, Bai Yun is right, this is the fun of adventure!"

Luffy agreed.

Nami was furious, but she didn't dare to make any big moves now. She couldn't bring herself to hit them or utter any insults, and the environment had changed.

"Aaaaaaah, it's turned into night!"

"We're gradually being sucked into the vortex!!"

Usopp shouted in alarm, then immediately tried to calm Luffy down.

"Turn around quickly!! Luffy, while there's still time!!"

"You saw it yourself, this giant whirlpool alone is enough to kill us several times over!"

"Sky islands are just a fantasy within a fantasy!!"

Luffy looked ahead; it was clear that Usopp's words had no effect, and had only excited him more.

"A dream within a dream..."

Turning his head, Luffy revealed a bright white smile.

"What if I missed the grand adventure of the Dream Island?"

"You'll regret that for the rest of your life!!"

Seeing Luffy looking so happy, Nami and Usopp resigned themselves to their fate.

Bai Yun left behind Zoro, saying something philosophical: even with an umbrella, the rain will still hit you, it's just a matter of whether it's your upper or lower body.

"Hahaha, that's something only Luffy would say."

"Hey, while you're putting up a futile resistance, you should think about what to do now."

Zoro suddenly said.

Usopp, puzzled, turned and asked, "What's going on now?"

Then we saw that the Going Merry had reached the edge of the center of the rotation. After completing the last rotation, the Going Merry was thrown into the center of the vortex and floated in the air.

"We're about to be swallowed by the whirlpool."

Zoro explained, "Although everyone saw it."

"Nami-sama, come hide in my arms!"

Sanji immediately went to protect Nami, but with a pout and an excited look on his face, Nami gave him his favorite slap.

Usopp couldn't take it anymore and screamed until his throat almost popped out.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!"

But the moment the Going Merry began to fall, it landed steadily on the sea surface, and with a "whoosh!" the whirlpool disappeared!

"what?"

Usopp's panic turned into confusion.

"What happened? Why did they disappear?"

Sanji asked, puzzled.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Clearly, Luffy was even more confused than Sanji.

"Such a huge vortex disappeared in an instant? How could that happen?!"

Usopp gripped the side of the boat and looked out at the sea, completely bewildered.

As everyone wondered what was going on, Nami walked to the side of the ship and looked down.
