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

Luffy raised his hand to his forehead, looking at the light that was gradually getting bigger in front of him.

Sanji had a cigarette in his mouth, and at that moment, the cigarette on his lips was the brightest.

Chapter 278 Wait, I'll starve to death before I fall to my death!

"Beautiful lady, the weather is lovely today."

At the God Island Shrine, Bai Yun, disguised as Sanji, started flirting with Enel's maid during the boring wait.

The maid dared not answer and cautiously glanced at Enel.

Suddenly, Enel struck the maid with a bolt of lightning from his fingertip, and Bai Yun immediately pulled the maid away.

Fifteen minutes had passed, and his replicated Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability had ended. Moreover, his own replicated Fruit ability could only be used once, and he had no weapon, so he dared not take the lightning head-on.

Before the maid could even stand still, Enel swiftly grabbed Bai Yun by the neck.

"Do you think I don't want to kill you?"

"I am God, and God is free. I don't care about your betting game."

Enel is domineering, or rather, unreasonable.

Although Bai Yun was being choked, he remained calm.

"You are a god, you can think whatever you want."

“But would the God of Thunder kill someone by strangling them with his bare hands? So, you don’t want to, or don’t want to kill me now, esteemed god.”

Enel didn't say anything upon hearing this, and just kept choking Bai Yun. Even though he was almost out of breath, Bai Yun remained calm. When he was about to give up, Bai Yun wanted to make a move. It would be too embarrassing to be choked to death.

But Enel released his grip before Bai Yun could make his move.

"You, get out of here."

"You fan me."

The first sentence was spoken to the maid, and the second sentence was spoken to Bai Yun.

Bai Yun disagreed.

"What! Me? What right do I have to fan you?!"

"no?"

"Of course! How's the wind strength?"

........

Here, after a series of "daredevils," Luffy and his crew arrived at the exit of the Ball Trial Passage. Although it was the exit, it was only after they left that the trial truly began.

As the light drew closer, Luffy suddenly spoke.

"Ah, right, right, this can't be that!"

Sanji couldn't understand.

"Hmm? Which one?"

Luffy explained.

"Aren't there four entrances? Could it be that only one is correct, and the others are wrong?"

It's understandable that they think this way because they don't understand the trials.

"Why are you only telling me now?! What if I guessed wrong?!"

Usopp turned around and shouted, "Isn't it too late to tell me now?!"

"What should I do...? We just fell off a sky island..."

Luffy answered Usopp's question very seriously.

Usopp cried; he'd be scared to death sooner or later.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How could you fall down like that?! We're 10000 meters above the ground!"

"The time it takes to fall is enough to relive one's life several times over!!"

Usopp was right.

If Bai Yun were here, he would at least add, "Yeah, you'll starve to death before you fall to your death."

We're getting closer to the exit.

Sanji couldn't listen anymore.

"Hey, what's the point of talking about something so idiotic? You two."

"That's simply impossible..."

As Sanji said this, the Crow emerged from the cave, and then... then the Crow took flight.

At the cave entrance, the Cloud River became a 90-degree vertical line, and the Raven, no longer attached to the Cloud River, flew directly out. The area below was empty, and if nothing unexpected happened, something was going to happen.

Luffy and his two companions were so shocked that they ran away from home.

"Huh!!!"

"How could this be?! It can't be real!!!"

Is it true?

The Raven plummeted vertically, crashing into the clouds with a thud that sent water splashing nearly ten meters high, confirming that it was true.

The ship that goes on adventures with Luffy is really strong.

........

After everything calmed down, the Raven was still intact, which was a relief.

It is now situated on the Cloud River, which descends vertically from the cave entrance.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

"saved."

Sanji panted to catch his breath.

Usopp was so frightened that he couldn't stop crying, still shaken. "I thought I really fell from 10000 meters in the air!!"

"Hahaha, oh... I was so scared!"

Luffy can still laugh.

Sanji kicked him directly.

"You can still laugh? You're just spouting nonsense!! You damned jinx!!"

Chapter 279 The Ball Trial

After experiencing a "drop tower" ride, Luffy and his crew landed "smoothly" and officially arrived at the Ball Trial venue.

"But where is this place?"

Sanji asked, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

""ball"!"

Luffy said excitedly.

Countless white spheres floated above the Cloud River and the forest before them.

"It's actually a miniature island cloud 'sphere'."

"Is that why it's called the Trial of the Ball?"

Sanji guessed.

"Haha, that's great! It's like a snowflake that's gotten bigger."

It fits Luffy's thought process.

Usopp just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

"The 'Cloud River' flows through the trees, so let's just follow it, right?"

"What kind of trial is this?"

Luffy looked at the numerous balls with great confusion.

"Who knows? It would be best if there were nothing, but that's unlikely."

Sanji replied, "I have both fantasies and a clear understanding of reality."

"Could it be that we took the right path? If we had chosen a different entrance, we would be in big trouble now."

Luffy guessed, "How naive."

But then he suddenly contradicted himself.

"What would Bai Yun say?"

When Luffy was a child, Bai Yun told him that if he encountered any problems and Bai Yun wasn't there, he should think about what Luffy would think.

Luffy sat down, crossed his legs, and imitated Bai Yun's kind smile. It has to be said, he's a real genius at imitation.

"If that's the case, then why are there 'trials' written at all four entrances? I don't think it's just for fun... Of course, it's not necessarily true."

This is Luffy imitating what Haku said.

Usopp had already recovered with a smile.

"Hahaha, he really looks like Bai Yun!"

Sanji smiled and said, "'White Luck' is right. Let's keep our guard up and keep going until we reach the finish line."

No sooner had Sanji said that than Luffy pulled out his water bottle.

"I'm so thirsty, let me have some tea and rest for a bit!"

Usopp agreed.

"Ah, great idea! Let's take out the pancakes we packed too."

"Ah~ that feels so good."

Drinking tea and eating pancakes, Luffy and Usopp felt a sense of profound comfort.
