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

But the water inside is undrinkable; the undrinkable water is the distilled water in the small iron pot on top of the main iron pot.

"I'm so bored!"

Clearly, the task of watching the distilled water fill up and then emptying it was too boring for him.

Bai Yun slowly opened his eyes. In his dazed state, he felt very calm and fell asleep sitting up. He was awakened by Luffy's voice.

Opening his eyes, he saw Luffy lying on the ground, and Gan Fall and his bird staring at the flames.

Sanji is preparing the ingredients.

Nami is flipping through a book.

Robin was taking a walk by the lake.

A clanging sound came from the altar; it must be Usopp repairing the ship.

Meanwhile, Zoro and Chopper, who had gone out to find more food, returned.

"Sanji, we found lots of food."

"There are walnuts, aloe vera, bananas, and garlic."

Chopper obediently reported.

Zoro's report didn't sound "well-behaved".

"And there are mice and frogs."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Throw them all in."

Sanji returned.

Nami, who was flipping through a book nearby, immediately bristled, "Wait! I just heard about food I can't accept!"

Sanji chuckled and scratched his head. "Oh, sorry, you don't like garlic?"

"No! That's not what I meant!"

Nami immediately waved her hand.

Bai Yun walked over with a smile.

"I think we should omit the frogs and mice, and add more garlic."

Adding more garlic was purely Bai Yun's own idea.

"Now that you're here, please help prepare the food."

Sanji nodded, and then said.

Bai Yun looked at him with sincere eyes.

"Is it too late for me to go back now?"

But it seems too late.

Usopp and Robin then returned to the camp.

Robin was also holding some blue crystals in his hands.

"Wow! Robin, what's that blue thing? A jewel?"

"It's beautiful, isn't it? It's just a pity it isn't."

Robin replied.

I can tell what Sanji's major is.

"Huh, are those salt crystals? Robin, you're amazing!"

"Yes, Robin is great."

Bai Yun continued.

Robin's crystal was placed down.

“I found it by the lake, and I think it might be useful.”

"Of course, this is a matter of life and death in the battle for survival."

Sanji replied, but there was a hint of flattery in his voice.

Chapter 296 The Former God

Night fell, but unfortunately the sky was mostly obscured by the huge canopy of trees; otherwise, the stargazing from 10,000 meters above the ground would have been spectacular.

In preparation for tomorrow and tonight's dinner, the Straw Hat Pirates are all getting ready.

........

"Give me half of the aloe vera and garlic. I need to make medicine for disinfection and burns. I might need it tomorrow."

As Chopper spoke, he picked out garlic and aloe vera.

Zoro muttered to himself from behind, "Want a frog? Want a frog?"

Bai Yun laughed, finding Zoro's behavior somewhat amusing. "Putting aside whether frogs can be used in medicine, do you have a grudge against frogs?"

"Forest Mask is right, are you bored, Zoro? Come and lend a hand."

Sanji picked up where Bai Yun left off.

"what?"

Zoro turned around and walked over. Although he looked reluctant, that was his expression. He was coming over, wasn't he?

"Na."

Sanji and Baiyun turned their heads in unison, their gazes directed toward the red-hot stones resting on the ground.

"what."

Then, the two of them tacitly turned their attention to the pot.

The meaning is quite obvious: throw the stone into the pot.

"Hey! Hey! That's not how you use my knife."

Zoro complained, but he had already lifted the stone with his twin swords crossed, how tsundere!

"Shut up, or you'll go hungry if you anger the chef!"

Sanji replied, "Although he's fierce, he's also protecting the stone. Of course, he's protecting the stone. If the stone falls, then we won't eat it!"

When the two of them came over, Bai Yun opened the pot lid, and with a "thud," Zoro threw the stone into the pot.

Bai Yun promptly put the lid back on; Luffy had been watching since Zoro and the others were carrying the stones.

"Huh? You can eat stones? Are they tasty?"

Bai Yun was both amused and exasperated. "You're really planning to eat stones?"

Sanji explained, "It would be strange if it were edible! This is called 'Roasted Stone Stew'."

"That is, using heated stones to stew vegetables. Stewing vegetables is very good, as it does not cause the nutrients in the vegetables to be lost."

Bai Yun had never tasted this stone stew before, neither before nor after his time travel. However, he did trust Sanji's cooking skills.

.......

The waiting time passed, and the stew was ready.

Meanwhile, Nami's plan, which she had just started out, is also complete.

"Hey everyone, come here and start the operations meeting to discuss how to proceed tomorrow."

"Good~"

Sanji answered the most enthusiastically because it was Nami; try replacing it with Zoro.

Whether it's discussing plans or having a meal, the best approach is to discuss them while eating.

“Okay, first of all, just as Bai Yun initially guessed, the reason why the Golden City found in Noland's sketchbook disappeared when he set foot on Jaya Island again was because during the time he was away, the part of Jaya Island that included the Golden City was swept into the sky by the surging ocean currents.”

"That is, the island of gods we are standing on now."

"But the forest we visited on Gaya Island is not the same as the forest here."

Zoro asked a question.

This requires the erudite Robin to explain.

"I think it's probably due to the different compositions that form ocean clouds and island clouds."

"There seems to be a force in the environment of this island that allows plants and animals to grow rapidly."

"This explains the civilization buried in the forest."

"Yes, that's very convincing."

Bai Yun struck up a conversation, and Robin returned his smile.

"No wonder those southerly birds surrounding the Sky Knight were so big. By the way, they also called the Sky Knight a god."

Chopper raised his hands and spread them out, gesturing "So big," while simply stating what he had heard Nanatori call Oganful.

His naiveté shocked Luffy, who looked at the silent Gan Fall.

"god?!!"

So you're saying I should punch you, old man?

"Of course not, you blockhead!"

Usopp complained, but then, like everyone else, he turned his attention to Gan Fall.

Ganford didn't react much.

"I was indeed a god, but that was in the past."

"You should focus on the plan; I will tell you about my affairs later."

Chapter 297 The Skull's Right Eye

"You should focus on the plan; I will tell you about my affairs later."

When Chopper mentioned that the Southern Birds called Gan Fall a god, everyone in the Straw Hat crew except Bai Yun was curious. Of course, Bai Yun also pretended to be very curious. However, facing all the eyes on them, the old man Gan Fall remained very composed and replied as follows.
