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

.........

"What!!!"

"Bai Yun, don't joke around. Luffy abandoning you? That's impossible."

Bai Yun's words were startling, and Ace naturally didn't believe them.

Bai Yun nodded calmly.

"That's impossible, I was just saying."

"oops!!"

Bucky and the others immediately fell backward, exclaiming, "You really were just saying that casually?!"

Bucky thought to himself, "If I think it's true, then it'll be easy to win him over."

Upon hearing Bai Yun's answer, Estun immediately smiled and said, "I knew it, how could that be?"

"No, no, then how did you come to be Bai Yun?"

"You're following the Alabasta route, so I shouldn't be on the same route as you!"

Ace was still puzzled: Where did Bai Yun come from?

Bai Yun looked at Ace, his gaze slowly descending to the abs, then below the abs, before turning a corner and looking at Ace's left pocket.

Chapter 240 What, are you going to abandon me too?

Bai Yun's gaze descended, and Ace followed Bai Yun's gaze.

Lower it, and lower it again.

Just as Ace was about to feel embarrassed, Bai Yun turned around and looked at his left trouser pocket.

"In your pocket?"

Ace asked.

Bai Yun nodded.

"I remember only having the bullet Bai Yun gave me in my pocket... Wait!! Where's the bullet??"

As Ace spoke, he reached into his pocket and felt around, but there was nothing there. The bullet Bai Yun had given him had vanished.

Bai Yun pointed to himself.

Ace paused for a moment, then realized, "Oh~ Bai Yun, you mean, you took the bullets!!"

Bai Yun: "........"

As expected, it's Ace's familiar intelligence.

"I am that bullet."

Bai Yun was straightforward; otherwise, Ace might not have been able to guess it for a long time.

"........"

"Hahahaha, Bai Yun, what are you talking about?! Are you a bullet? Do you think we're blind?"

Bucky laughed loudly.

Bai Yun turned around and rushed towards him, his form transforming back into a bullet, only to revert back to human form just before hitting him in the mouth.

Suddenly approaching, Bai Yun and Bucky were face to face. Bucky was so frightened that his eyes and tongue almost popped out. "Oh my god!!!"

Bai Yun, however, remained relatively calm.

"Do you believe me now?"

Bucky was terrified. "What kind of Devil did you eat?"

Just as Bai Yun was about to say "Guess," Ace grabbed the back of Fate's collar and pulled him back.

"Wait, wait, explain yourself clearly, Bai Yun."

"You were transformed from a bullet? So you are...."

"Clone."

Bai Yun picked up where Ace left off.

"Yes, a clone!"

"So you're a clone?"

Bai Yun shrugged. "Wasn't what I just said human language?"

Ace was taken aback; it was indeed the familiar Bai Yun.

"No, I mean, what do you want with me?"

"You've come to see me, haven't you?"

"I didn't come here to see you, did I come here to see him?"

Bai Yun pointed at Pakistan and his group.

Bucky was annoyed. "Hey! What did you say?! What did you mean?!"

But Bai Yun and Ace ignored him.

"I've met Blackbeard."

Bai Yun's sudden remark struck Ace like a thunderbolt.

"What?! Really!?"

Ace was very excited and grabbed Bai Yun's arms with both hands, asking a question.

Seeing his excited expression, Bai Yun's desire to bring him back to the Whitebeard Pirates deepened.

"Yes, on our route, there's a place called Gaya Island."

"But he escaped, and I don't know where he went."

Bai Yun answered calmly.

Gaya Island...

Ace repeated the name of Jaya Island over and over, but then suddenly noticed something interesting.

"Escaped? What do you mean Blackbeard escaped?"

"You fought with him?"

"Ah."

"Neither won nor lost, but his left arm was cut off."

Bai Yun remained calm.

Ace was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, as expected of you! Bai Yun, hahahaha."

Having grown up together, Ace didn't think Bai Yun would lie.

Bai Yun looked at him and laughed, a smile appearing on his lips as well.

"Ace."

“I can come over... I mean, I can come to you with Blackbeard’s severed arm.”

"Take the severed arm and go back to Whitebeard to report. This is a good outcome. Don't chase after him anymore."

Bai Yun advised again.

Ace's laughter subsided, but a smile remained on his face as he looked at Bai Yun. "I know you're worried about me, Bai Yun."

"Sachi is dead! That's a life! It can't be replaced by an arm!"

"Moreover, he violated the ship's rules, and as his captain, I have an obligation to arrest him and bring him back to Dad for trial."

"My father didn't say anything when I came out, so don't try to persuade me, Bai Yun."

Ace patted Bai Yun on the shoulder, expressing his determination.

Bai Yun glanced at Ace's hand on his shoulder, then looked at him and nodded.

“I’ll stay with you while we’re hunting Blackbeard, but I’m just an avatar and can’t be of much help.”

Just as Ace was about to answer, Bai Yun spoke up first.

"What, even you're going to 'abandon' me?"

Ace's words caught in his throat, but finally turned into a loud laugh, "Hahahaha, no way! I'm actually glad Bai Yun is with me. I'm not lonely anymore, hahahaha."

Chapter 241 What a coincidence!

"Hahahaha, where is it? I'm actually happy that Bai Yun is with me. I'm not lonely anymore, hahahaha."

Ace patted Bai Yun's shoulder happily.

Bucky was clearly annoyed. "Hey, hey, hey!! You two, what are you so happy about?! This is my ship!!"

Ace and Bai Yun still ignored him.

"Hahaha, I'm so happy today, let's have a banquet, Bai Yun."

Ace teleported into the cabin and carried out a case of liquor, as if he knew the place like the back of his hand.

"That's great! We were fighting the last time we met. Let me see if your alcohol tolerance has improved."

Bai Yun reached into the liquor box and picked up two bottles of liquor, while Ace naturally took one of them.

"What banquet?! You two bastards, you already cost me a fortune yesterday!!"

Bucky shouted excitedly, his head practically pointing skyward.

Bai Yun then picked up a bottle of liquor, pinched the cork between his fingers to open it, and casually tossed it behind him, the bottle mouth landing right in Bucky's mouth.

After a sip of alcohol, Bucky was rendered speechless.

"What the hell."

"Before, we could only hold one banquet, but now we have to hold two in two days."

"But now that it's open, let's enjoy it to the fullest, my men!!"
