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

"How can someone like me join the Navy?!"

"Although I will become your enemy, Luffy, joining the Navy has been my dream since I was a child."

"I'm going to arrest all the bad guys, including... Abida!"

Luffy's reaction to Kobi's emotional declaration of his dream was...

"Oh."

At that moment, Abida also rushed over and swung a spiked club at Kobi. Even though it didn't hit Kobi, the impact on the ground caused Kobi to stagger backward.

"Who are you going to arrest, Kobi?!"

"That guy is the bounty hunter you hired to capture me? So it wasn't Roronoa Sauron after all."

Bai Yun: I can vouch for you, it's definitely not Zoro, after all, we're cosplaying together right now.

Seeing Luffy's appearance, Alvida realized that the unexpected visitor was not Zoro, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 32: Roronoa Zoro Appears

"Brother, how many days have you been tied up?"

"This doesn't feel good, does it?"

Bai Yun asked again, but Zoro still ignored him.

In the original story, Zoro was tied up for nine days before Luffy rescued him.

Bai Yun sighed. He needed to know how many days Zoro had been tied up before he could be sure whether Luffy could come to rescue them today.

........

Meanwhile, Luffy...

"Who is this uncivilized old lady?"

In one sentence, he successfully stunned everyone.

"Take back your words! Luffy, she's... she's the most..."

Kobi grabbed Luffy and shouted.

But halfway through his sentence, Luffy's determination to become the Pirate King, even at the cost of his life, resurfaced in his mind, directly overcoming his cowardice.

"The most savage and despicable auntie!!!"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Ke Bi finally made up her mind to say it.

He doesn't know Luffy's strength yet. If he knew that Luffy was as weak as him, then neither of them would survive.

However, courage is always rewarded.

"Rubber gun!!"

Despite taking a blow from Alvida, Luffy was completely unharmed. Instead, he punched the obese Alvida away. How could Alvida, no matter how fat, be as big as a Coastal King?

"Give Kobi a ship, he wants to join the navy! None of you are allowed to stop him!"

Pointing his finger at Alvida's underlings, Luffy said, "That's cool."

"Yes, sir!"

Seeing Luffy defeat Alvida in one move, they must have gone mad to dare to resist.

........

"You're a rubber man who ate the Gum-Gum Fruit, Luffy? That's incredible."

The scene shifts, and Luffy and Koby are now on a small boat, sailing on the sea.

"If you want to get the One Piece, then you have to enter the Grand Line."

"That place known as the 'graveyard of pirates'."

Kobi continued, saying that his dream was to be a naval officer and that he had some knowledge of the sea.

“Yeah, so we need to find some strong partners,” Luffy replied.

"Friend, speaking of friends, where is your friend Bai Yun? How are you going to find him?"

Kobi still remembers the name Bai Yun.

"Haha, just like Bai Yun said, we will meet again if we are destined to."

“His strength is no less than mine, he just doesn’t show it usually.”

"Don't worry about him."

"The main thing is, the place you want to go to is where someone named... Roronoa Zoro is imprisoned, right?"

"If he's a good person, let him be my partner."

Luffy grinned and said.

.......

Bai Yun's side.

"I heard there's a bounty hunter in the East Blue named Roronoa Zoro, with green hair. Is that you, bro?"

"How did the bounty hunter get captured by the Navy? Interested in becoming a pirate?"

.......

"What nonsense are you spouting now! Luffy, that guy is a devil!"

"Like a bloodthirsty wild dog, roaming the seas and hunting down pirates."

"He's been called a 'devil in human skin'!"

.......

"A devil in human skin."

"Tsk tsk tsk, how terrifying."

"If you're not my brother, at least acknowledge me."

"Shut up!"

After Bai Yun's dismissive efforts, Zoro finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Can't you shut up when you're tied up?"

"Shut up, you useless piece of trash!"

"I don't like hearing that from you, brother."

"Aren't you tied up just like everyone else? If I'm useless, then what are you?"

Bai Yun replied, his tone irritating, which Zoro found inappropriate.

“I’m different from you. You were forced to come here, but I came voluntarily.”

Zoro replied that Zoro's earlier act of writing Helmeppo's nonsense was also naive.

"Yeah?"

Bai Yun felt a little itchy on his face, so he took his hand down and scratched it.

Zoro caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes widened instantly. "Did you just take your hand down?"

"No, you're mistaken. If it were true, I would have run away long ago."

Bai Yun responded with a smile, "How could that be?" implying that he was now "a lamb to the slaughter."

Just then, a little girl climbed over the wall of the naval base and sneaked in. Is this how the naval base is defended?

Seeing the little girl, Bai Yun felt relieved. He didn't need to go anywhere else; he could just wait for Luffy here. Although it was a bit sunny, Zoro was with him.

"Big brother, I saw you've been tied up for several days. I made rice balls for you."

The little girl held up a rice ball and spoke to Zoro.

She only brought two people, but unexpectedly Bai Yun was there too. She glanced at him a little shyly.

Bai Yun laughed. Such innocent joy from a child!

"I'm not hungry, I just arrived today."

Upon hearing Bai Yun's words, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zoro while holding up her rice ball.

"Are you looking for death?! Get lost! I won't eat your rice ball."

Zoro is fierce, but he's actually doing it for the little girl's own good; it wouldn't be good if the Marines found out.

Things could turn bad, and just then, Berumeber came over with two soldiers.

"Oh dear, it's not good to bully people, Roronoa Zoro."

"I will tell my father."

"I am..."

"White Luck"

"...the son!"

Luffy's appearance was very timely.

Bai Yun shook his head slightly and smiled, "No, I don't have a son like you... with a big, round butt."

Chapter 33 Three People Form a Group

A whirlpool separated Bai Yun and Luffy.

Luffy met Kobi according to fate.

Bai Yun then became Zoro's neighbor.

Fate is truly unfathomable.

Almost simultaneously with Helmeppo, Luffy and Kobi's heads emerged from outside the base's walls.

He called out "Bai Yun," drowning out Bellumeber's words, and it sounded like...

"I am... Bai Yun's son."
