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

Therefore, Bai Yun stated.

“I don’t have a son with a chin like yours. My chin is perfectly normal.”

Luffy's sudden appearance caught Helmeppo off guard, and he even ignored the colonel's son, swaggering into the naval base.

Kobi saw Luffy go inside and had no choice but to follow.

........

"Haha, Bai Yun looks quite disheveled. This rope looks like it could be easily broken."

Luffy jogged up to Bai Yun and Zoro, and with one sentence, he subtly insulted both of them.

Bai Yun: No! It's one person.

"Yes, it's quite easy to break free."

Bai Yun replied, then stopped pretending and left directly from the cross-shaped wooden stake.

"It's quite easy to break free."

Bai Yun repeated himself, and both he and Luffy looked at Zoro with smiles.

Zoro said he felt greatly offended.

"I...I broke free!!"

"You're trying to run away!!"

Seeing Bai Yun break free of the ropes so easily, Bellemere exclaimed in shock, a wisp of snot hanging from his nose.

"What do you mean I'm trying to run away?"

"Tell me first what troubles me?"

Bai Yun countered with a question that left Bellemere speechless, but when he thought of his "powerful" father, his confidence immediately returned.

"I thought there was some treasure in the wooden barrel, but it turned out to be someone like you!"

"You made me happy for nothing! That's a sin!"

"I am the son of a naval captain."

Bai Yun nodded. It seemed the World Government was truly hopeless. Even a naval colonel had such an imposing manner; an admiral would be terrified.

"Oh."

"oh!!?"

When asked about the fact that he was the son of a naval captain, Bai Yun simply said, "Oh."

Bellemere was surprised, exclaiming, "Oh! Really!"

"Luffy, this brother's name is Roronoa Zoro!"

Bai Yun helped Zoro introduce himself.

“I know, Kobi and I are looking for him.”

"This guy is called Kobi, a cowardly but changeable fellow."

Luffy also introduced Kobi to Bai Yun.

"Oh, hello, my name is Bai Yun, nice to meet you."

It was our first meeting, not counting what we said on screen.

Hello! Hello!

Kobi acted reservedly, but secretly observed Luffy's crazy companions.

"Luffy, you came to see Zoro, is it what I was thinking?"

Bai Yun said.

Luffy tugged at his straw hat. "Hahaha, just like you thought, Bai Yun."

What are you two doing, playing dumb here?!

Zoro couldn't take it anymore. Did they think this was a marketplace? They were still chatting like this; the Marines were about to swarm over!

"We are pirates."

"We are now looking for partners to go to sea together."

One sentence each, Bai Yun and Luffy replied in perfect unison.

"Pirates? I can't believe you've actually stooped so low as to become bad guys..."

Zoro grinned; he was very familiar with pirates.

"What's wrong with that? It's my own choice."

Luffy doesn't care what others think; it's his choice. As for Bai Yun, well, let's just say he doesn't care.

Good person? Bad person?

"Brother Zoro, how do you tell good people from bad people?"

Are pirates bad people?

"Are those three lowly navy men and their sons good people?"

"In this world, good and bad people aren't just something you can say."

His expression froze, but Zoro still maintained a distant and unapproachable demeanor.

"What an eloquent speaker!"

"Just as annoying as before."

"If it makes sense, it just sounds a little annoying."

Bai Yun smiled and replied, but before he could continue, Bellemere interrupted him.

"Pirates!!"

"You're pirates!!"

"Quickly! Protect..."

When Helmeppo learned of Luffy and Bai Yun's identities, he was so frightened that he immediately tried to hide behind the two soldiers.

"boom!"

But in an instant, a bullet whizzed past his cheek.

“When adults speak, sons should shut up. You said it yourself, you are the son of a naval captain.”

Realizing what had happened, Bellemere collapsed, stunned and unconscious.

"You two, go and call Monka here."

Bai Yun gave instructions to two naval soldiers, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better think he was the naval officer.

The two soldiers didn't even see how Bai Yun fired his gun. Knowing they couldn't afford to mess with him, they immediately ran away.

Bai Yun lowered his hand, and the gun transformed back into a bracelet. The little girl stared curiously at the silver bracelet on his hand.

"Let's continue."

But Zoro spoke first.

"Stop talking!"

"I will not become a pirate. I have my own things to do, and I will not become a bad person like a pirate."

"But you've already been labeled a bad guy."

Luffy crossed his arms and stated the truth.

"I don't care what others say!"

"I have never done anything that I regretted breaking my vow, and I never will."

"Your vow is to become the world's greatest swordsman?"

Bai Yun suddenly interrupted, and Zoro couldn't calm down anymore.

"I heard you use a knife. Isn't that the ultimate goal of all swordsmen?"

Zoro was speechless. It seemed to be true; which swordsman wouldn't want the title of the world's greatest swordsman?

"How does this conflict with your being a pirate?"

"correct."

Luffy agreed that this made sense.

"Just agree, it's a group of three."

"The three of us just happen to form a group."

Bai Yun said.

Zoro remained silent.

Chapter 34 Go to the docks to get some fries

A fateful separation, and a fateful reunion.

Luffy and White Luck, two pirates, reunited at the Marine base, essentially because of Zoro.

Such a coincidence! We must invite them aboard the ship immediately.

Not going?

I don't care, I'll just go for it.

........

Seeing Zoro remain silent, Bai Yun had no choice but to unleash his strongest attack.

"Your knife has been taken away, hasn't it?"

"Luffy, go get your sword back for you."

"But I want a knife..."
