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

That makes sense, so Sanji had no choice but to give up.

Then Pagya spoke again.

"Oh, right, could you guys let me take a look at the old Wiba that you mentioned earlier? Maybe we can fix it."

"By the way, my father is a repairman at Wiba."

Connies explained that this proved her family could afford the "seaside villa."

"Really? Please!!!"

Luffy, who was still chewing something, immediately replied excitedly upon hearing this.

.........

Before returning to God's Island, Nami and Bai Yun are here.

Bai Yun said this was a forest, to which Nami replied.

“I’m not blind, I know it’s a forest, but you’re right, this forest feels out of place on the Sky Island.”

"And these trees are just too huge! How old must they be?"

"You can't even see the treetops."

“It will definitely be many years,” Bai Yun replied.

"......"

Nami was speechless. "How come I didn't know Bai Yun was so good at talking nonsense?"

"No la."

Who praised you?!

Nami shouted angrily.

"Shh!"

Just then, a sound suddenly came from the forest, and Bai Yun gestured for Nami to be quiet.

Nami then heard the voice as well.

"Maybe we should go back..."

Nami asked in a low voice.

"That's too late."

Bai Yun replied calmly.

Nami heard a click behind her.

Another guy wearing a bull-face mask appeared behind them, pointing a cannon at them.

Ahead lay a forest, and sounds continued to emanate from it.

The roars of wild beasts, the cries of birds, and the shouts of men.

There were also sounds of people talking.

It seems that some people are hunting down someone.

As they approached the forest's exit, which was where Nami and Bai Yun were, the man wearing the bull-face mask raised his cannon, jumped up, and fired a shot into the forest.

The flash from the violent explosion illuminated Bai Yun and Nami's faces. Bai Yun was alright, but Nami looked terrified. What on earth was going on?!

The minotaur fell silently.

The explosion has passed, but thick smoke still billows out.

Suddenly, on the land in the forest, a person emerged from the dust and lay on the ground, his face covered in blood, looking utterly miserable.

"What's wrong! What's wrong?!"

Nami was completely stunned.

The man noticed her and Bai Yun, and immediately took a deep breath and shouted.

"Hey!! Help me!! Let me on the ship!!"

"I missed the ship, please save me!!"

"I'll repay you in any way you ask."

"I'll let you board... but this boat can only carry one person... I didn't know..."

Nami didn't know how to answer.

The will to survive can drive a person to do anything, and upon hearing Nami's words, the man immediately pulled out a gun.

"Damn it, give me the boat!!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Yun took to the air and flew towards the man.

In the man's view, Bai Yun was bathed in sunlight behind him, like a savior extending a helping hand to him.

The man instinctively reached out his hands, wanting to receive Bai Yun's help, and then...

"Give it to me!!"

Bai Yun snatched the pistol from his hand.

"Thank you."

Then Bai Yun turned around and went back!

Chapter 257 No money needed, but plenty of bullets.

"Give it to me!!"

Bai Yun and Nami have an accident in front of God's Island.

A guerrilla soldier with a bull-faced mask, the sounds of the forest, and a man emerging from the dust, beaten half to death.

Unable to get help, the man pulled out a gun, ready to rob it. Bai Yun said, "How did you know I needed a gun? You're such a good person."

And so, the man experienced extreme highs and lows, going from believing he was being saved by a savior to being completely bewildered.

"What do you mean?! What do you mean?! Help me!! Please?!"

The man shouted in bewilderment, the voice behind him growing closer, and a sense of despair welled up inside him.

Bai Yun glanced at him sideways, then resolutely returned to Nami's side.

It's not worth it. Saving him is not worth it, not to mention we don't know him at all, and he was just pointing a gun at them.

Furthermore, he was already being targeted by Enel, whose Observation Haki had locked him in, making escape impossible. Saving him was like carrying a "bomb."

So why do something that offers no benefit whatsoever?

Accumulate merit?

Bai Yun stated that he is a rather realistic person.

Being tricked naturally fuels anger; if you're going to die anyway, can't you at least get your revenge?

Just as the man was about to curse Bai Yun, he noticed the guerrillas behind him and Nami.

"Guerrilla..."

Just after he uttered those three words, another strange phenomenon occurred, causing those who had rushed up behind him to stop in their tracks.

"Um?"

The man was unaware of the situation.

Blue light poured down on the man, enveloping him, and then a huge pillar of lightning suddenly fell, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring.

Its explosive power was far greater than that of the guerrillas' artillery shells.

Trees, ground, and men were all blasted to pieces.

Nami raised her arm to shield her eyes from the dazzling electric light.

The guerrilla fighter raised his shield, shouting, "Damn it, it's Enel! He used [Earth]!!"

With a flip, the guerrilla revealed the ice blade-shaped Weapon beneath his feet, turned in a different direction, and walked away without looking back.

At this moment, Nami was already sweating profusely, which was easily noticeable as she was only wearing a bikini top.

He turned his head to look at the departing guerrillas, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

Just then, a sound came from ahead.

"Quick! Bring me the [water shell]!!"

"Put out the fire!!"

Upon hearing this, Nami immediately wanted to warn Bai Yun to hide, but when she turned around, she saw...

Bai Yun had already taken cover in the blind spot to the right of the opening created by the lightning pillar, and was waving to Nami, signaling her to come quickly.

Nami:.......

.........

Four men, a dog, and a bird emerged from behind the bombing breach.

Four men.

A person with a spider-like hairstyle, wearing purple clothes, whose expression basically remains the same: biting their upper lip and rolling their eyes.

A bald man, with baggy pants and wearing sunglasses.

A ball-shaped, round creature wearing an orange hat.

A man wearing a pilot's cap and goggles, with two straight mustaches standing upright.

"That man seemed to be talking to someone."

The bald man spoke, his pet dog following behind.

"Woof woof!!"

"Shut that damn dog up!!"

The pilot pointed at the dog and shouted that during the chase, the dog had hit his pet bird.
