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

"What? After all that, it's only a tiny trial?"

Usopp and Luffy continued Sanji's words, saying, "They really do have distinct personalities."

Nami smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "They seem to be alright, that's a relief."

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a voice rang out.

"Yo ho ho ho".

"Everyone is here."

Who else could it be but someone whose laughter is being imitated by a skeleton that hasn't even appeared yet?

"The main character always appears last."

"Ahhhhh!!"

The Forest Mask, Bai Yun, emerged from the forest and swung from the vines onto the second deck of the Going Merry.

She landed perfectly with a somersault.

"Hello everyone, I am Forest Mask."

Aside from Luffy, Chopper, and the somewhat uncertain Gan Fall, everyone else watching this scene was thinking, "What is Bai Yun up to?"

Chapter 294 Thank you, at least you knew to love me for a short while.

"The mast is gone..."

When he said those words, Usopp felt as if his heart was bleeding.

"Excuse me, Mr. Long Nose."

"We did our best. With ships as the battlefield, it's impossible to guarantee that the ships will remain intact."

"All in all, damn priests!"

"Right, Chopper?"

Bai Yun immediately replied, looking at Chopper with sincere eyes.

"Yes, Forest Mask said it was that priest who broke the mast."

Chopper replied that he wasn't lying; it was indeed Shura who "crashed" it, the only difference being whether it was intentional or unintentional.

"I've fixed everything else, but this mast..."

Chopper always felt disappointed, thinking he had let everyone down.

Bai Yun: ...Sorry...I'll catch Shura's big bird mount and roast it when I have the chance later.

Cross-legged: What does this have to do with me?!

Usopp ignored the fact that Bai Yun called him Mr. Long Nose; he knew it wasn't their fault.

"What about you?"

"White... Forest Mask looks fine. Chopper, are you alright?"

"Huh? Mm."

Chopper paused for a moment, then nodded. This time, with Bai Yun and Xiao Bai by his side, he wasn't injured.

"That damned priest must be tough to deal with. I'm glad you're all alright."

"And you've almost finished fixing everything else, Chopper, that's really impressive..."

Usopp turned and walked away, saying that although he felt sorry for the Going Merry, he would not do anything to blame Chopper and Whitey.

Chopper listened silently, while Bai Yun patted his... antlers.

"Did you hear that? You're already amazing, Chopper."

After saying that, Bai Yun walked away.

Chopper snapped out of his daze, his whole body ablaze with fighting spirit, and he made a silent decision.

I must become a more reliable man.

........

"What a harmonious and joyful team, very good, very good."

Gan Fall overheard Usopp's words to Bai Yun and Chopper. Looking at Luffy, who was making a mess of pumpkin soup, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of magic this leader possessed to gather these crewmates.

And that's how Bai Yun and the others would respond.

Bai Yun: "I'm his childhood friend."

Zoro: "I don't know, I'll cut him down sooner or later."

Nami: "Silly, loves to eat, but reliable."

Usopp: "As the boss, of course I have to protect my underlings."

Sanji: "What? What because of him? I joined the crew because of the beautiful Nami."

Chopper: "Luffy and the others need a doctor, and I will grow into a reliable doctor."

Robin: "...A very interesting team."

“It’s already evening, and the ship needs repairs. I think we should wait until tomorrow to set off back to Angel Island.”

Sanji also commented that Gan Fall's pumpkin soup was delicious, and then made a suggestion.

It's already night, and the boat being broken is one thing, but not having any means of lighting is another.

"How about we stay in the forest tonight and set up camp by the lake? It'll be easier to deal with the enemy if they attack from the lake."

Sanji's considerations are quite realistic.

All Luffy heard was, "Wow! Great! We're going camping...and having a bonfire party!!!"

He was initially very excited, but then Luffy seemed to remember something and became slightly downcast.

"It's a pity Bai Yun isn't here. I wonder how he is now, and where he is?"

Forest Mask: Yeah, yeah.

"It's alright, I trust his abilities! Let's go!"

Luffy, who is capable of self-persuasion, became excited again and shouted about the bonfire party.

Forest Mask Baiyun said: Thank you, at least you knew to love me for a short while.

"Wait a minute! This is enemy territory! How dare you...?"

Usopp is cautious (cowardly).

But it was of no use.

The scene transitions in a flash.

The group had already reached the lake shore and set up camp.

Chapter 295 Let's Go Find Gold

Camping by the lake reminded Bai Yun of his childhood. Indeed, childhood was carefree.

The group reported the information they knew.

But there's not much usable stuff.

In addition, "Just as Bai Yun guessed, the surging ocean currents propelled the island into the sky, and this island is the golden land that the Saruyama Alliance has been dreaming of!!"

Usopp pointed his pointer at the three big words on the blackboard: Golden City!

As he said this, he reflexively glanced at Forest Mask Hakuyun, who smiled back. Usopp immediately looked away, but Luffy still didn't notice anything amiss.

For example, Luffy is very shocked right now.

"Really!?"

Nami was speechless.

"Didn't I just say that?!"

"Haha, that's not important, what's important is the gold."

Bai Yun said with a smile.

Luffy's lips curled into a smile.

"Yes, gold, this is the adventure I've been waiting for!"

When it comes to the Gold Saints, Nami is the happiest.

"It seems the adventure with the Sky Current was worthwhile."

Usopp remained cautious. "Hey, Luffy, have you forgotten that guerrilla's advice?"

Chopper was just as "cautious" as him, thinking, "God will be angry..."

"Hehehe, this seems quite interesting." Robin always used the word: interesting.

"Alright, with such a treasure before them, that pirate isn't tempted."

Sanji replied, "Indeed, with such glittering gold before us, who wouldn't be tempted, let alone a pirate?"

Zoro has always been a battle maniac. "The enemy is strong... looks like I'll have to fight for my life." These words sound terrifying, but he still manages to put on a smile.

Bai Yunlai summarized, "No matter what, adventures are never smooth sailing. As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and this Golden Land is no ordinary place of wealth."

"Hehe, Forest Mask is right. Adventures can't always be smooth sailing; that's what makes them fun! Okay... let's do it this way!"

Let's go find gold!

Luffy stood up, spread his legs, raised his hands, and shouted excitedly.

Ganford remained silent with a smile on his face.

.......

The night was very long.

After the initial excitement, Luffy had to wait for the night to pass before he could embark on his adventure, which made the night feel very long.

He lay on the ground staring at the iron pot, from which the sound of boiling water kept emanating.
