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

"Hello, my name is Monkey D. Luffy."

"Why did you fall from the sky? You are indeed a bit weak. I fell off a cliff and I was fine."

A little polite, but not much.

At this time, Luffy was seven years old and had already been trained by Garp for some time. Falling off the cliff wouldn't cause him any serious injury.

"My name is Bai Yun."

"The others..."

"I've forgotten. All I remember now is that my name is Bai Yun. Where did I live before? Who was I? I can't remember."

After thinking about it, Bai Yun still felt that amnesia was an easy way to fool people; otherwise, he would have to make up a fake identity.

"Don't you remember?"

"I didn't see it hit his head, did I?"

"You're lucky, kid. You had a newsbird fall on you first, and when it landed, it hit a crooked tree, which reduced some of the impact before it hit me."

"Otherwise, with your physical condition, you might not make it."

A crooked neck makes a great contribution!

As Karp ladled a bowl of soup and handed it to Bai Yun, he explained.

Bai Yun took the bowl and said thank you. He remembered that when he was "lying" in the air, after that dog of a system disappeared, he did hit something in mid-air when he fell down. It turned out to be a news bird.

"Thank you so much, Brother Bird. If it weren't for you taking the fall, I might have had to send it. I will never forget your great kindness."

After silently thanking the news bird, Bai Yun suddenly realized...

So, what about the bird? How is it?

"Then, where is the newsbird?"

Bai Yun asked while drinking his soup.

Little Luffy held up his bowl, tilted his head back, and drank his soup without answering.

Karp stopped the bowl he was about to bring to his mouth. "Look, it's in the pot, in the bowl, and in your mouth."

"Ugh! Cough cough cough!!!"

Garp's answer made Bai Yun's eyes widen, and he almost choked to death.

"Cough! Cough! Wh...what? This soup was made with that newsbird?"

"Oh, what else? It fell from the sky, why not take it? It can be made into soup to nourish your body. You should drink more of it."

Karp replied, handed Bai Yun a piece of cloth, and then began to drink his soup.

Bai Yun took the cloth and wiped his mouth, looking at the soup in the bowl, where the reflection of Bird Brother seemed to appear on the surface.

"I'm sorry, Bird Brother, but this soup is really delicious."

........

"belch!"

"Thank you for hospitality."

By the time Bai Yun finished drinking a bowl of soup cooked by his "lifesaver" Bird Brother, Little Luffy had already finished the whole pot. He put down his bowl and expressed his gratitude to Garp and Luffy.

"Ah."

"Luffy, go wash the dishes."

Garp nodded, then told Luffy to go wash the dishes.

"Oh."

Luffy did not refuse, put the bowl in the pot, and then left the room with the bowl.

Garp's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression. He looked at Bai Yun, crossed his arms, and slowly pressed his aura down on Bai Yun.

The atmosphere instantly became tense. Bai Yun panicked, thinking, "I haven't done anything wrong, have I? Vice Admiral Garp!"

"Bai Yun?"

"Young man, you were lying just now, weren't you?"

"You don't remember nothing, right?"

"Karp asked, his tone flat."

Oh, so you were exposed. It's alright then.

Nothing my ass!!

"Ah... well..."

Bai Yun started to stutter, but Garp's "death stare" remained fixed on him.

A brainstorming session ensued, and Bai Yun, drawing upon his nine years of compulsory education in writing, began to fabricate an identity for himself.

"You can't hide anything from Lieutenant General Garp."

"I'm actually a mercenary, just hanging out with the older guys in the team. I'm from Loguetown."

"Yesterday, we were assigned to escort a merchant ship, but we encountered a powerful group of pirates during the escort, and everyone... everyone was killed."

As Bai Yun spoke, tears streamed down his face. His acting was so good, even Oreo would have to give him an award. However, it wasn't that Bai You's acting was good; under the covers, he secretly pressed his thigh hard. Damn, it really hurt!

Those tears were tears of pain.

Chapter 4: Becoming Stronger by Watching

Continuing from the previous text, Bai Yun continues to deceive... no! I mean explain, explaining to Garp why he fell from the sky.

"When I was a child, I ate a fruit by chance and escaped with the protection of my older brothers. But after a battle, I flew in the air for half a day, which caused me to fall due to exhaustion. Fortunately, I met Vice Admiral Garp."

"I have internal injuries, and whether there was blood at the corner of my mouth when I fell is evidence that I fought."

"I really didn't mean to lie to you, Vice Admiral Garp. I have nowhere else to go. I've lost...all my comrades..."

"I was thinking that pretending to be stupid would allow me to stay, so I lied to you. I really didn't mean any harm!"

Bai Yun wiped away his tears, his expression genuine, as he recounted all the sad things that had happened to him over the past 18 years.

Who would have thought that the blood I coughed up when I drew the ability to be weak and sickly could actually help? Life is truly unpredictable, and the large intestine is wrapped around the small intestine.

Upon hearing this, Garp's expression softened, and he withdrew his imposing aura towards Bai Yun.

"Is that so?"

"What kind of fruit did you eat, kid? It lets you fly?"

"It is... Paramecia-type Replica Fruit."

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Yun decided to tell the truth. Since fate had brought him together with Garp and his grandson, he would probably stay here for a while... whether he wanted to or not!

"A replica fruit?"

"Yes, it can temporarily replicate the abilities of others."

"For example, if Vice Admiral Garp is a Marine, and he uses the Six Powers of the Navy in front of me, I can replicate and use the Six Powers of the Navy in a short time."

Bai Yun explained with sincerity, but he didn't finish the explanation. He could also replicate Devil Fruit abilities, and the strength of the replication depended on the method of replication.

Moreover, if it is a technique like the Six Styles of the Navy, as long as you can remember the feeling after replicating it once, and then practice it yourself, you can completely learn these techniques.

Simply put, once you've replicated those techniques and moves, even if the replication period has passed, you'll automatically get the hang of it without needing to practice at all.

"Hmm...it is indeed a 'terrifying' fruit. It allows one to master techniques that others have honed over countless years in an instant. This is truly 'fair' to those people!"

"But that's the power of the Devil Fruit."

Garp replied calmly. He had become a Marine and risen to his current position as a Marine hero. He had seen all sorts of storms and waves, so this was not surprising to him.

"Get some rest."

"You're too weak, you need to train harder."

There is a kettle on the table.

Karp stood up and walked away, his words implying that he agreed to let Bai Yun stay.

Perhaps seeing that Bai Yun's Devil Fruit was very powerful, he took a liking to his talent and planned to train him and Luffy as new naval talents.

However, things don't always go as planned.

Bai Yun slightly opened his eyes, suppressed his excitement, and said calmly.

"Thank you, Lieutenant General Garp."

........

This is time.

He is constantly on the move. You can vote for me for fifty and try to make him stop.

Okay, the experiment failed.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

"Bai Yun! It's done! It's done!"

Luffy sat cross-legged on the ground, not caring about the dirt, and waited for Bai Yun's roasted meat.

Bai Yun lay in bed for half a month before he was able to get up, but his legs were the most severely injured and he still needed to sit in a wheelchair.

He then sat in a wheelchair and had Luffy push him around the village restaurant kitchen.

Garp is a master of hand-to-hand combat, but cooking is a challenge for him.

The father and son either ate a quick meal while hunting or ate at a restaurant.

Now that we know Bai Yun has the ability to learn something just by looking at it, we must make use of it!

Therefore, Bai Yun, despite being in a wheelchair, had to become the exclusive chef for this grandfather and grandson.

"Almost done, just wait a little longer, let me sprinkle some cumin on it, tsk, that flavor, so good!"

Sprinkle cumin on it, and it melts on the crispy roasted surface, releasing an aroma that makes Luffy's mouth water.

Bai Yun skillfully drew his boning knife from his waist, cut it in two, and handed a piece of thigh meat to Luffy.
