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

Robin calmly read aloud the words written on the door.

"It's heaven! I can't wait! I can finally come and play here."

Luffy likes this name.

"This is really bad luck, it's like we're about to die..."

Usopp didn't like the name.

"Hey, maybe we're already dead?"

Zoro guessed that he was dead, and a smile appeared on his face.

Sanji agreed.

"That's possible, which makes it hard to understand why the world is so strange."

Chopper was so frightened by this that he almost went to heaven.

"We're dead!?!?"

Bai Yun patted his antlers.

"Don't listen to their nonsense, Chopper."

Chopper trusted Bai Yun's words and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Bai Yun continued.

"I don't think we go to heaven after we die; I think we go to hell, to a fire, to a dark, gloomy hell!"

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

Seeing Bai Yun's expression, Chopper was even more terrified.

"boom!!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Chopper, don't listen to Bai Yun's nonsense."

Nami punched Bai Yun on the head as punishment for scaring a child.

Robin, as always, maintained a smug, amused smile.

........

The Merry continued its journey.

There was no one at the door, so I went straight in.

Behind the door is a relatively short "tunnel" with houses on both sides.

Usopp, with his sharp eyes, spotted someone coming out of the first house on the left.

"Ah, it looks like someone is about to come out over there."

"Are you here for sightseeing or for fighting?"

Then an old woman with small wings on her back came out, taking pictures of Luffy and his crew with a camera while asking questions.

But before Luffy and the others could answer, he continued.

"But it doesn't matter which one it is."

"If you want to go to the upper levels, please pay the entry fee: one billion Iraqi kroner per person. For seven of you, that's seven billion Iraqi kroner. This is the law!!"

"It's an angel! Do all angels look like this? They look like dried plums."

This is what Luffy is focused on.

Usopp's focus was very practical: "How much money would one billion Irks be in terms of Berries?"

At that moment, Luffy suddenly realized that he cared a lot about his crewmates.

"Seven?"

I turned around and counted them; there were seven. Oh, that's normal, no, normal size!

"Bai Yun...."

He had barely opened his mouth when Usopp and Nami immediately covered his mouth. "Ten billion each! We should save where we can. What are you saying?"

But saving one would obviously not suit Nami's wishes.

"Um...excuse me, if...we don't have any money, could you...?"

"You can also go in."

Nami asked tactfully, but before she could even finish, the old woman with the dried plums answered first, giving a very straightforward reply.

Usopp, who had just thought it was impossible to offend someone, was caught off guard.

"Can we really go in?!"

“I’m neither a gatekeeper nor a guard; I just want to ask what you mean.”

The old woman replied.

“Then we must go to the Sky Island. Even though we don’t have any money, we still have to go, Grandma.”

Knowing that it was free, Nami felt more confident.

"Okay, do all seven of you want to go in?"

The old woman asked in detail.

"Yes, but how are we going to get up there?"

Luffy replied.

The old woman didn't answer, and suddenly everyone felt the boat tilt.

Two large pincers suddenly appeared from below and clamped the Merry.

"ah!!"

"What's wrong! Something's coming out!!"

"Those are express shrimp, a specialty of the White Sea."

The old woman explained.

The animal express shrimp beneath the Merry immediately began to run.

"Ah! It's moving! It's moving!!"

Following the cascading spiral "waterfall," it "flew" up, running very fast, as if flying.

The old woman watched the Going Merry and Luffy and the others on board as they walked away.

He then relayed the message to "God" and the various priests.

Divine retribution will be imposed on Luffy and his seven fellow illegal immigrants.

Bai Yun knew all of this.

However, he did not want to change this course of events.

Anyway, Enel is a boss we have to fight. If we change it, we'll have to go find Enel ourselves, which is a hassle.

But Bai Yun wouldn't be willing to be fooled by this old woman like this. He would have plenty of opportunities to get revenge as long as she was still on the Sky Island.

.........

"What on earth is going on?!"

"The clouds turned into ribbons, like a river."

Skypiea is constantly redefining Nami's understanding of the world.

"It doesn't look like it was naturally formed at all."

Bai Yun, who had just disappeared, suddenly reappeared.

"Of course it couldn't have been formed naturally!"

Nami immediately replied, and when she saw it was Bai Yun, she asked again.

Where did you go just now?

"I went to the restroom. Even clones are people, Miss Nami. What just happened?"

Bai Yun replied very casually.

Nami expressed her doubts, but still told him what had just happened.

The others were fine, except for Zoro and Robin. Although their expressions were normal, their eyes revealed that they didn't believe Bai Yun's words at all.

"What a coincidence," Zoro said.

Bai Yun nodded.

"Yes, what a coincidence."

Chapter 250: The end is the beginning, and the beginning is the end.

"So, how much longer until we get there?"

Bai Yun changed the subject.

He said that his going to the toilet was purely coincidental.

"how could I know."

"However, judging by this speed, we're not far from that exit."

Nami replied.

"Oh, speaking of which, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp."

"How are your Armament Haki, Overlord's Nation, Sky-Pressing Step, and Observation Haki training going?"

Bai Yun abruptly changed the subject, so suddenly that it startled Luffy and his crew who were looking at the exit at the top.

Luffy: "Haha, it's alright (I forgot)."

Zoro: "I don't have time to practice (I'm practicing to fully master the Iron Cutting Technique)."

Sanji: "It's alright (it can fly a few meters)."

Usopp: "Haha... Bai Yun, you know me, Usopp. This isn't a simple matter for me, hahaha! (I just don't know how)."
