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

Orcas realized he had misunderstood Bai Yun and felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I just left in a hurry."

"What's the rush? It's better for the elderly to take it slow."

"So, you just called my name?"

Bai Yun asked knowingly, "Was that movement just now because your waist was really itchy, or was it 'bullying a child'?"

"Uh...yes...it's nothing, nothing at all, just asking if you like the tea?"

Ocas was a little embarrassed.

Bai Yunhui smiled.

"Very good."

"Wait until I disembark, then send me several thousand kilograms?"

"What?!" Ocas was startled. Several thousand jin? He probably didn't even weigh 1 jin.

"just kidding."

"I couldn't lift even several thousand kilograms."

Bai Yun returned home.

Orcas: "..."

"Mr. Orcas, a pirate ship is attacking from ahead!!"

"It's the Silver Hook Pirates."

Just as Orcas was wondering how to answer Bai Yun, the shouts of the sailors on the lookout tower "saved" him.

"Is it the Silver Hook Pirates?"

"Okay, drop anchor."

"Omir, go to the cabin."

Knowing that the pirate ship was coming, Ocas dropped anchor, which is very illogical.

Bai Yun guessed.

"Is this pirate crew an 'old friend' of yours?"

"You encounter them every time you travel this route. You pay them and they let you go, right?"

"Mr. Bai Yun is indeed very clever. Yes, that's exactly it."

"These are some of the rules in the waterway; it's better to pay to save your life than to fight to the death."

Orcas replied.

Bai Yun smiled.

"The price has never gone up?"

Ocas's face immediately darkened. "The price has gone up. It goes up every year. If it continues to rise, I'll end up losing money every time I go out to sea."

"It's normal."

Bai Yun replied, "Adventurous pirate crews are rare, but greedy pirate crews are plentiful."

After saying that, Bai Yun turned around and sat back down in his chair, looking as if it were none of his business.

"Go quickly."

Omir didn't want to go into the cabin, but things were serious, and Orcas didn't want his child there alone.

Bai Yun beckoned to Omir, "Come here, the water in the teapot is cold, change it for me."

"Don't try anything funny, I can tell."

Bai Yun said these words with a smile. Although Omir disliked him, he could tell from the looks of his grandfather and the sailor brothers that Bai Yun was not someone to mess with, so he obediently went to change the water.

Meanwhile, the Silver Hook Pirates slowly approached, set up the connecting planks, and walked onto the merchant ship.

.........

"Oh ho ho ho, my old friend, old Orcas, how are you?"

Leading the way was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties or forties, with one eye and a silver hook on his left hand—a complete stereotype of a pirate.

After coming up, he gave Okas a hug and patted Okas's back with his intact right hand, almost making Okas vomit blood.

"Haha...long time no see, Dobar."

Ocas wore a completely forced smile.

"Bring it up."

Orcas continued, and a sailor came over with a suitcase.

"Here's a toll of 50 Berries. Keep it safe."

The sailor opened the chest, faced Dobal, and remained silent, acting like a mere tool; all the words were spoken by Orcas.

Upon seeing the money, Dobal was not happy; his fake smile actually faded.

"50?"

These three words, between the lines, are brimming with the meaning of "just this little".

"My old friend, the world is constantly evolving, money is getting smaller, we've been friends for so many years, don't you understand the rules?"

Dobal's meaning is simple: you have to pay more.

Ocas looked troubled.

“But last year, I already said that if I made any more, I would lose money. The key point is that you agreed to it, Captain.”

"Do I agree?"

"You and..."

Just as Orcas was about to reply, he met Dobal's murderous gaze and immediately fell silent.

"Thank you."

Just then, Omir returned the teapot to Bai Yun.

It was Bai Yun's simple "thank you" that caught Dobal's attention.

"Oh? Orcas, when did you start having women on your ship...?"

"No!! That's not right!! You are... Long-haired Bai Yun!!"

Dobar recognized Bai Yun.

Chapter 261 Okay, then don't bother me while I'm watching TV.

"No!! That's not right!! You are... Long-haired Bai Yun!!"

Dobar recognized Bai Yun.

Bai Yun's journey alone, though temporary, is never going to be smooth sailing.

Where is this?

It's the ocean! If the ocean were always smooth sailing, no one would go out to sea.

........

"you know me?"

Dobal pushed Orcas aside and looked directly at Bai Yun.

Facing him, Bai Yun remained seated, even crossing his legs and sipping tea, looking quite content.

Omir, meanwhile, hid behind the chair beneath him, just like Chopper, watching Dobar with fear.

“I naturally recognize 8000 million people.”

Dobal replied, his eyes scrutinizing the young man before him. He didn't believe that this pretty boy looked like he had an 8000 million bounty on his head.

But he had been at sea for many years, so he wouldn't underestimate his enemies based on appearances. However, belligerence is in the nature of many pirates.

"I don't know you."

Bai Yun replied calmly, "That's the truth, and it sounds very sarcastic."

"you!!!"

The classic saying goes, "The boss isn't worried, but the lackeys are."

Dobal stopped his underling.

"Silver Hook Shetes Dobar".

"Bounty: 6900 million Berries."

Dobar introduced himself.

"6900 million? That's a lot."

Bai Yun picked up his teacup, took a sip, and spoke in a flat tone that was even more infuriating than Bellamy and the others' loud laughter, conveying an impression that Bai Yun was simply unworthy of his attention.

However, Bai Yun was telling the truth. He did indeed earn 900 million more than Green Algae Head. However, Green Algae Head had been at sea for less than a month, while Dobal had been there for less than 20 years.

"With 8000 million heads, they certainly have the right to say that."

Dobal didn't get angry; instead, he laughed.

"Oh."

This is Bai Yun's reply.

I can't figure out how to handle Dobar.

"So, is there anything else?"

Bai Yun took the initiative to ask a question.

"If you think the money is too little and want to kill Orcas and the others, I have no objection."

“But I need people to steer the boat. If they die, you have to steer the boat for me.”
