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

"You think you can checkmate me like this?"

"It's not that easy, Straw Hat Boy."

"No, no, no, perhaps many things become simpler once you know them."

No sooner had Jonathan finished speaking than Bai Yun's voice followed.

In Jonathan's view, he saw Rika push open the door and walk in.

“Lika.”

"Hmmmm~"

"No, I should call you Bai Yun, long-haired Bai Yun, right?"

"Don't you already have the answer?"

Through their back-and-forth conversation, Jonathan confirmed that the "girl" who was being persecuted by pirates was actually a pirate herself, Long-Haired Bai Yun.

Originally, it seemed like Luffy and his crew had won, but Jonathan actually had a backup plan, a plan to lure them into a trap.

All the gold that Luffy and his crew brought down from Skypiea was now stored in his office, and Bai Yun was watching over it.

"I never expected it, the ability to create clones?"

"That was an oversight."

Jessica will be very sad.

Jonathan saw Bai Yun staring at the gold.

As soon as he spoke, Bai Yun turned his gaze back to him.

"Yes, please tell her I'm sorry and thank you for me. She's a good cook and a kind older sister."

"You're really putting me in a difficult position."

Jonathan replied.

"But I don't understand."

"You came without taking anything with you, so you must have come in by accident."

Why did you arrive before me?

"Does this prove that you separated from them before?"

How did you know they would come here?

"How do you know that the gold is in my room?"

Jonathan's questions and reasoning allowed him to deduce that Bai Yun had separated from Luffy and his crew before; he is indeed clever.

In response to his reply, Bai Yun stated...

"Because I'm very smart."

Chapter 382 May You Have Sweet Dreams

"The Straw Hat Pirates have reclaimed their ship and escaped. Everyone immediately boarded the warship to give chase."

Robin, inside the study, overheard the conversation of the soldiers running outside.

A slight smile crept onto his lips. "They're such a reliable group of people."

"Then it's time for me to go."

Take this map; it's the only thing Robin has found of value during his time in the study.

Then Robin left the study and received the same treatment as "Captain Tecula," but with a slight upgrade.

Four soldiers pointed their guns at her.

"Lieutenant Colonel Schapard, where would you like to go?"

The same question, but Robin's answer was even more domineering than Bai Yun's.

"Where am I going? Do you even have the right to ask?"

Hearing her arrogant attitude, the soldier got angry. He had already learned from Jonathan that this Lieutenant Colonel Shepard was an imposter. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to speak to a lieutenant colonel of the Marine Headquarters. Luffy and his crew had recaptured the Going Merry, but he didn't pursue them. It was also Jonathan's order that Robin be kept in watch no matter what.

"Hmph, no matter what, you'd better stay in the study. You're not allowed to leave without Commander Jonathan's orders."

The soldier forcefully gestured for Robin to return to the study, his finger on the trigger twitching as a form of intimidation.

Robin smiled back, raised his hands, and crossed them. "I'm sorry, it may not be possible to do as you wish."

"Click!"

An arm emerged from the four soldiers, grabbed their heads, twisted them, and instantly killed them.

"It seems our identities have been exposed."

"Then this outfit is unnecessary."

Robin said to himself, then took off his naval officer uniform and felt much more relaxed.

........

The Merry was sailing on the sea inside Fortress G8. Although they had regained control of the ship and left the dock, Drake and his men had caught up with it in their warships and opened fire on the Merry.

So, the priority now is to leave quickly. Luffy can block cannonballs, but if there are too many, he won't be able to block them all.

But here's the problem.

"Where is the exit?"

Bai Yun said.

“That’s right, Bai Yun is right, we just don’t know where the exit is! And Sister Robin hasn’t come back yet.”

Nami added.

"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived."

"What?"

Bai Yun uttered a proverb, but Nami clearly didn't know its meaning. She looked up at Bai Yun, only to see him looking to the left. She followed his gaze and saw Robin swinging on a rope, flying towards the Going Merry.

"Robin!!"

Nami exclaimed joyfully.

Sanji also transforms into a heart-eyed octopus.

"Miss Robin is so cool!!!"

As they approached, Robin released the rope and jumped down, landing perfectly and returning to the Going Merry to reunite with everyone.

Has everyone gathered yet?

Robin asked.

"We're still missing the white luck."

Bai Yun raised his hand to answer, indicating that Bai Yun was still missing.

Robin smiled in response, "Then there's no need to worry about him. Bai Yun is very reliable, isn't he?"

"Navigator, this is a layout map of the G8 fortress."

Robin handed the map to Nami.

Nami opened it and quickly found the exit.

"Very good!!"

"You truly are my only confidante, Sister Robin, you're amazing."

Nami showered him with praise.

Robin was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and could only laugh in response.

"Ha ha..."

Nami clenched her fist. "Alright, Chopper, turn right and head towards the exit."

........

"Because I'm very smart."

Back in Jonathan's office.

Faced with Jonathan's question, Bai Yun replied with great confidence (shamelessness).

"Hmph~ You are indeed very clever, Long Hair Bai Yun."

"However, you don't think I got my position as commander solely through intellect, do you?"

"Those who only have brains but no fighting skills will not get promoted in the navy."

Are you so confident that you can defeat me alone and then break through the encirclement and leave?

Jonathan got up from his chair and went to the table to confront Bai Yun.

"Although I am confident that I can beat you, it will indeed take some time, just as you said."

"I don't want to hold my friends back."

"so?"

Jonathan asked, unbuttoning his sleeve. He was certain that a battle was about to break out, but now he was curious about how this long-haired, white-haired man was planning to defeat him so quickly, given his boastful words.

So, sweet dreams.

"dream!"

Bai Yun looked up and met Jonathan's gaze. He saw that Jonathan's eyes were emitting a blue light, and his pupils had turned into a vortex shape.

This is the Sleep-Sleep Fruit ability of the female pirate that Bai Yun and Luffy encountered when they were about to set sail. They used it now, and that's that. After 30 minutes, if they want to have it again, they can only replicate it. However, it is estimated that the girl is already living in Impel Down.

........

The moment Jonathan and Bai Yun locked eyes, Jonathan felt an immense weight on his head, and drowsiness surged over him like a tidal wave.

However, the Sleep-Sleep Fruit is not a rule-based fruit; it doesn't mean that if you are affected by it, you will definitely fall asleep.

It all depended on his willpower. Jonathan bit his lip, and the pain, combined with his own willpower, helped him get through it.
