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

A hopeless situation?

Where did they put the protagonist's halo?!

Enel's words pierced Luffy's heart. Images of Conis and Aisha's tears, Zoro and the others being electrocuted, and Bai Yun falling from the sky flashed through his mind. The buffs piled up, and Luffy, who had closed his eyes in pain, opened them again, his eyes filled with determination.

He gritted his teeth and stepped forward with all his might, pulling his waist off the crosses, then jumped backward, letting the golden ball in his hand fall with him.

Enel smiled even more broadly upon seeing this, assuming that Luffy had given up on his own.

"Are you going to jump yourself? Hahaha!!"

"Luffy!!"

Nami immediately lay down at the edge of the cloud and looked down, shouting worriedly, only to see Luffy hanging in the air, one hand gripping the edge of the cloud.

"Get out of Nami's way!!"

Luffy yelled.

Enel saw it clearly at that moment, and his smile vanished instantly.

"What!!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Don't underestimate me!! Big earlobes!!

Luffy roared, spun his right arm with the golden ball attached, twisting it into a pretzel shape. Then, using the force of the spin and his left hand, he hurled himself up again, level with Enel.

"Rubber, rubber..."

Luffy's stance before launching his attack.

"Want to do it again?!"

Enel asked.

Luffy's answer was resolute: "Until the Golden Bell rings!!"

"Hahaha, then I'll play along to the end!! This time I'm going to skewer you into a meat skewer!!"

Enel was very confident.

Luffy didn't answer this time. He gritted his teeth and exerted his strength, unleashing a twisted right arm.

"Golden Spinning Bomb!!!"

He threw out his right hand, his twisted arm spinning back, taking the golden ball with it, spinning faster and faster.

Just as Enel was surprised by its speed, Luffy's fist combined with the Golden Ball slammed directly into his Thor-like body.

Gold conducts electricity and has a large enough surface area to be unavoidable for Enel. He was struck and forced to dissolve his Thor form, being slammed into the golden bell!

The golden ball shattered, Luffy retracted his arm, spread his limbs, and shouted!!

"Let it ring!!!"

The golden bell was thrown backward and fell down with its base. As the bell swayed, the iron bell inside struck the bell wall, and the bell rang out.

The bell tolled, deep and solemn, as if from the heavens. Its sound was continuous, like a stone thrown into water, spreading outwards to the entire sky island and to the Qinghai Lake.

"Did you hear that?! Chestnut-headed uncle!! Apes!!"

"The Golden Land is truly being searched!!!"

Luffy shouted at the top of his lungs, as if he wanted to send his words out along with the sound of the bell.

As the bells rang, birds flying south took flight in response.

The Lord of the Sky wept again upon hearing the familiar voice from 400 years ago.

The Shandian chieftain wept bitterly, “Did you hear that? The great warrior Calgara, the echoing voice of the Lamp of Shandora.”

Connie, McKinley, and the residents of Angel Island also heard the song of the earth.

Like the old chief of Shandia, Ganful was in tears. "I always believed that this day would come."

Compared to the elderly people's emotional tears, the young people were relatively happy.

"Hahaha, that bell sound! I knew it! I knew it!! They can do it!!"

Usopp jumped up with joy.

"How melodious!"

Miss Robin closed her eyes to enjoy the sound.

Chopper, awakened and unaware of what was happening, exclaimed in amazement, "What was that sound? It's so beautiful!!"

Sanji, still with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, said, "Is this the sound Noland heard? It's truly indescribable."

Because the foundation was destroyed by Enel, Zoro and Wapa were at the broken vines under the ruins of Shandora.

Zoro simply listened silently to the sound of the bell.

What Wapa was feeling at this moment was not only the relighting of the Shandora Lamp, but also the hope that Noland's descendants would hear this voice.

And Kulikate and the apes did indeed hear it; even in Qinghai, thousands of meters below the surface, the sound of the bell continued to resonate.

Luffy's figure, reflected in the sunlight, also appeared in the Golden City; this is the truth behind the "giant monster shadow."

The sound of the bell and Luffy's voice were undoubtedly telling Cricket and the others something.

"The Golden Country is there, isn't it, Straw Hat Boy?"

Thank you so much!!!

Kurikate responded, though Luffy couldn't hear her. Then, Kurikate broke down in tears, bowing her head and saying, "Thank goodness, they're safe and sound."

These tears were genuinely for Luffy and his crew, but also for the joy of seeing his life's perseverance validated; they were tears of overwhelming happiness.

Chapter 346 Of course, it's because I care about you.

(I won't write the ending of the Skypiea arc. After finishing the adventures of Bai Yun and Ace, I'll directly write about Luffy and his crew coming down from the Skypiea and meeting up with Bai Yun at the Marine G8 Fortress.)

.........

"Will this really wake me up?"

"Of course, if one isn't enough, then we'll have a few more."

In his hazy state of consciousness, Ace could hear the conversation between two people.

One was Bai Yun's voice, and the other was unfamiliar, but it was probably a girl's.

Ace struggled to open his eyes, and then...

*Smack!! Smack!!!*

Bai Yun mercilessly gave Ace two large slaps.

Ace had already opened his eyes. He was already dazed, and the slap made him even more dazed.

When Bai Yun saw that he was awake, his expression immediately changed. "You're finally awake! You scared me to death, Ace."

Ace: "...(Brain booting up...)"

Why are you sitting on me?

Bai Yun smiled and stood up, "Of course I'm concerned about you. (Of course I won't tell you it's so I can slap you.)"

Bai Yun stood by the bed, and Ace also sat up.

"here it is?"

"This is Morda's house, the one she pulled you out of the river."

As Bai Yun spoke, he poured a glass of water and handed it to Ace. He had slapped him, but he still had to show concern, since Ace was now sober.

"I see! Thank you then."

Ace took the cup and thanked Moda, who was wearing a white headscarf and had long brown hair.

"You are welcome."

"I'm going to feed the cows now, you guys chat."

Moda smiled back, got up and left the room, knowing to give Bai Yun and Ace some space to chat.

Bai Yun and Ace smiled and watched her leave. Then Bai Yun sat down on the chair next to the bedside table and poured himself a glass of water.

"So, I got thrown into the river because I kicked the wrong town doctor who looked like Blackbeard and was also named Blackbeard."

"Then it drifted here, and then Bai Yun, you came looking for it."

"Is that right?"

Ace went over the sequence of events.

"That should be it."

Bai Yun crossed his legs, took a sip of water, and then leisurely replied, adding a sentence.

"It's not that I don't want to save you, but after all, you kicked a good doctor, so it's not appropriate for me to help, right? Even though we're both pirates, I don't want to be 'utterly wicked'."

Ace burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Hahaha, that's true, after all, it was my rudeness."

"It's been a long time since I've been this disheveled."

"These clothes?"

Ace noticed that his clothes had changed; his jeans had been replaced with pure black ones, and he was wearing a red short-sleeved shirt.

Sensing Ace's gaze, Bai turned to meet his eyes.

"What, who else could it be but me? You expect some young girl to help you change your clothes, don't you?"

After speaking, Bai Yun's gaze slowly moved to Ace's abs and below them, then he turned his head back, sighed, and the meaning was self-evident.

Ace blushed. "What do you mean?!"

"I just think your abs have faded a bit. Don't just focus on developing your Devil Fruit; you need to pay attention to your overall strength too. What's wrong? What do you mean by that?"

Bai Yun suppressed a laugh and asked in return.

"Uh......"
