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

"It's like a giant shrimp carrying the Merry at breakneck speed."

Bai Yun replied in detail.

"Really? That's so cool!!"

Luffy thought it was cool, but Nami on the Going Merry was scared.

Pagya saw it clearly too, and with Bai Yun's words, he knew what it was.

"That's a specialty of Baibaihai, the super-fast shrimp."

Express shrimp, express shrimp, of course it's express, and it even has the word "super" in it.

They disappeared from Luffy and his crew's sight in no time, and judging from the direction they went, it should be God's Island.

"Why are you wearing a T-shirt?"

Sanji is still concerned about this.

Usopp complained.

"Hey! Why are you still worried about this! They're gone! Gone with the Going Merry!!"

"Hey, Luffy! Sanji's gone mad! What do we do now?! What do we do?!"

Where are they going!?

Luffy is concerned about this issue.

Usopp was in despair, but thankfully he still had luck.

"Bai Yun!! What do we do now?!"

Bai Yun met Usopp's gaze, still chewing on cake. In response to Usopp's question, Bai Yun continued chewing.

"This cake is really delicious."

Usopp: "......."

"You're pretending to be stupid, aren't you?! Aren't you?! Help!!"

Chapter 269 Living Sacrifice, Test

"You're pretending to be stupid, aren't you! Aren't you!! Bai Yun!!"

"They've been taken away! Did you know that?!"

Usopp is panicking now, more panicked than usual, he's just really panicking.

Bai Yun nodded. "I know."

"Then why are you so calm?"

Usopp asked, puzzled.

"But this cake is really delicious."

Bai said with a very sincere face, "The cake is really delicious."

"Alright, now that they've been taken away is a fact, there's no use in worrying."

"With Zoro and Robin here, there shouldn't be any major problems. The main thing now is to figure out what happened and where they went. Well, we'll have to ask the locals for that."

Bai Yun finished the last bite of cake and turned to look at Paglia and Connie.

Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp understood immediately and turned to ask.

Where did they go?!

Pagya's forehead was covered in sweat. "The Super Express Shrimp is a messenger of God, and what it carries is always an offering to God."

"Then the destination is the 'Altar of Living Sacrifices' northeast of God's Island!!"

"A living sacrifice?!"

"You mean Nami, Robin, and the others will become living sacrifices?! Living sacrifices to God!!"

"Idiot!! Stop joking!!"

Sanji understood what "human sacrifice" meant, and he wasn't concerned about why Nami was wearing a shirt.

"Sanji, I know you're anxious to save Zoro, but don't rush."

"Things aren't that simple, are they, Uncle Pagya?"

Bai Yun said.

Sanji turned around and shouted, "Who wants to save the green-haired moss?! I'm concerned about Nami and Robin!"

Poor little Chopper...

"And Chopper too. Okay, calm down and listen to what the old man has to say."

Paigeya gave Bai Yun a grateful look and then said.

"Yes, Brother Bai Yun is right!"

"I've heard that in God's retribution, there are two kinds of punishments for sinners: 'living sacrifices' and 'tests'!!"

"In other words, your companions are now living sacrifices, hostages, in the hands of God!"

"But in reality, it's the four of you who should be sanctioned!!"

"Huh? What happened?!"

Unsurprisingly, Luffy didn't understand.

"It sounds a bit like a rescue game."

Bai Yun said.

"Huh? What? What game?"

Luffy still doesn't understand.

Pagga said that it would be easier to understand if there was a map.

It just so happens that I found it on the giant ship that fell to the ground that day.

According to Pagia, Luffy and his crew have to start from Angel Island, sail their ship through the forest where the Divine Gate is located, and once they reach the Altar of the Living Sacrifice and reunite with their companions, they will have passed the test.

Usopp was puzzled. "Wait, uncle, why do we need to cross this island? Can't we just go around from the outside?"

Usopp's thoughts

But the idea was not ideal, and the reality was cruel.

Pagya disagreed, because the difference between this ancient map and the current Island of God is that the current Island of God is covered by many rivers.

Even if Luffy and his crew manage to land near the altar, they still cannot walk to the altar.

Hundreds of rivers, large and small, flow through the island, and the only way to get there is by crossing the Cloud River.

Sanji understood, took out a cigarette and lit it.

"I think I understand now. No matter where we land, we'll be trapped by the river, right?"

Pagga nodded. "Yes, and there are piranhas in the river too."

"That's really scary."

Bai Yun sighed soullessly.

Luffy could still laugh, "Anyway, all we have to do is knock that priest that you and Nami were talking about flying, right?"

"That's the theory."

Bai Yun returned home.

"That makes things much simpler, hahaha."

For Luffy, anything involving fighting and not requiring thought is much simpler.

"You can still laugh...?"

A sarcastic remark from Usopp.

As a local, Pagya was naturally afraid of priests and gods, and warned them.

"Everyone, please don't be careless! The strength of the four priests is far beyond your imagination."

"But most importantly, on this island of gods, there is 'God - Enel'!"

Chapter 270: Let's see, they don't agree.

"Most importantly, God Enel is on God's Island!!"

Pagya spoke in a flustered manner, but his face... well, it showed a kind of reverence for God.

"is it?"

"I've met the four priests before, they were alright, but mainly they weren't very bright."

"As for God Enel..."

"If it doesn't match up, how would I know?"

"However, according to what you said, Uncle Pagya, as long as we pass the priest's test, we'll be considered to have passed the punishment. This god Enel won't go back on his word and attack us, right?"

Bai Yun remained calm and composed. Is this a sign of true ability?

No, it's just that the clone died and nothing serious happened; at most, it'll just add up to a few hundred million.

"Haha, Bai Yun is right. How would you know how powerful someone is if you don't match their moves?"

Luffy agreed with Bai Yun's words.

Sanji stubbed out his cigarette on the seashell ashtray. "Anyway, I'll definitely rescue Nami and Robin!"

"I hope the Going Merry is alright."

Usopp prayed that the Going Merry had already suffered far too much for its age.

Pagya didn't know what to say, so he could only reply.

Wishing everyone peace and safety.
