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

Just like when Luffy was hit, Bai Yun woke him up with a gong sound, so he fell asleep, not passed out.

However, this was enough to make Jonathan lose consciousness for a few seconds.

In that instant, Bai Yun flashed past, pulled something from his pocket, and stabbed it into Jonathan's arm. He had even unbuttoned and rolled up his sleeve earlier. Seriously, I'm devastated.

After Jonathan fought off the sleepiness, his vision returned, and he saw the syringe on his arm. The liquid inside had disappeared; it had definitely been injected into his body.

Jonathan looked up at Bai Yun, who was right in front of him. Before he could speak, Bai Yun knew what he was going to ask.

"The potent anesthetic for dealing with sea monsters was found in the infirmary."

Jonathan was speechless. He even brought him an anesthetic meant for dealing with giant sea monsters. How much he was being given such a high regard. Ordinary anesthetic would have been enough.

"I didn't expect to be checkmated by you."

"Long hair, white luck".

"You have clones and different Devil Fruit abilities. You're even more dangerous than the Straw Hat Pirates."

Jonathan braced himself against the table to stay upright, and before the anesthetic took effect, he spoke to Bai Yun.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yun simply shrugged and walked behind the table to move a chair over for Jonathan.

Jonathan glanced at the chair, then looked at him. "What do you mean?"

"Consider this my way of repaying Sister Jessica for her kindness."

"It's up to you. Do you want the soldiers to find you lying on the ground or sitting in a chair when they find you?"

Jonathan sat down in the chair without hesitation, as the anesthetic began to take effect and he could no longer stand.

Chapter 383 Do you believe it or not?

Bai Yun is a person with a script.

He knew, of course, that Jonathan had taken the gold brought from Skypiea to his office, so that even if Luffy and his crew eventually escaped, they would come back. Forget pirates, who doesn't love money?

Therefore, Bai Yun's clone acted out for two reasons: first, to hide the identity of "Rika," and second, to use this identity to retrieve the gold, so that Luffy and his crew wouldn't have to take another risk.

Even if Jonathan is very capable and intelligent, he can't compare to Bai Yun, who has the script and the Replica Fruit combined. These two abilities combined create an acting skill that is simply flawless.

So Jonathan was checkmated. Even though he was strong, the powerful anesthetic used against the sea monster was enough to put him to sleep for a while.

........

As his consciousness was gradually eroded and his vision became increasingly blurred, Jonathan sat on the chair that Bai Yun had brought for him, saying it was to repay Jessica for taking care of him. He watched as Bai Yun picked up the packages containing gold one by one and walked towards the window.

He knew he had lost, but he felt no resentment or dissatisfaction. He had no choice but to accept that he was outmatched.

Bai Yun walked to the window and pushed it open with one hand.

From this vantage point, you can see the Merry fleeing toward the gate, with Drake's warships in hot pursuit, bombarding it relentlessly.

Bai Yun turned his gaze to the Going Merry. "Hmm, everyone's here. I should head back now."

"Well then, sweet dreams, Commander Jonathan. Fort G8 is indeed a decent fortress; at least, the officers and soldiers are fairly normal."

After saying that, Bai Yun jumped onto the windowsill and flew away.

Before Jonathan's consciousness faded, he murmured something.

"It's fairly normal..."

........

"fire!!"

"But, sir, there are still..."

"That's fake. Commander Jonathan said that not a single nurse from the infirmary is missing, and that one of them is with the Straw Hat Boy!"

"Ah!! Yes!!"

This is a conversation between Drake and the soldiers after Drake chased after them in his warship.

Without the help of Mechao and his maintenance crew, Drake and his men only managed to sail out one warship, but they still managed to get shells fired at the Merry.

Jonathan took all the cannonballs and gold from the Merry.

"Damn it, all the cannons on the ship have been taken away, we can only passively take the hits."

Usopp clenched his fist and punched his thigh angrily.

However, it wasn't a big problem. In the world of One Piece, bullets and shells are all "outlined." Although many shells came, only a few reached the Going Merry. Luffy could handle them, while the rest landed on the sea.

"What do we do now! Without ammunition, we can't blast our way out of the mountain!!"

Nami said anxiously.

Robin and Nami told them what Bai Yun had told them.

Although the gates of justice cannot be blown open.

The cliff face is fine, but we're out of ammunition. What's the point of blowing it up?!

"Calm down, Miss Nami. We don't have it, but others do."

Bai Yun comforted her, reaching out to grab the manual propeller of the Merry, which slowed the Merry down.

The base gate was right in front of them, but along the defensive path built into the mountainside, the muzzles of cannons were already pointed at the Merry.

However, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and even Robin all appeared quite calm.

Because they all understood what Bai Yun meant.

"Hehe, Bai Yun is right. We don't have it, but they do. We've come all this way, how could we not get out?"

"fire!!"

"Rubber balloon!"

Luffy squatted on the sheep's head and replied with a smile. At that moment, more than a dozen cannonballs came from the defensive path at the same time. Luffy took a deep breath and turned into a rubber balloon to catch all the cannonballs. He then bounced them to the right side of the gate, and more than a dozen cannonballs exploded in the same place. The power was self-evident.

The firelight illuminated every face on board the Going Merry, and the sounds of violent explosions and the smell of gunpowder filled everyone's ears and noses.

After the fire subsided and smoke filled the air, you could see from the edges that a large hole had been blasted into the mountainside, leading to the outside.

"I see, that works too. Okay, then hurry up..."

Nami was overjoyed to see an exit. Once they got out, they successfully escaped from inside a naval base.

But then something occurred to her, and her expression changed instantly, becoming one of extreme terror.

"Oh no!! Oh no!!"

She immediately climbed down from the second-floor deck, quickly reaching the warehouse door at the stern of the first floor. She pulled open the door and saw that the several bags of gold that had been placed in the center of the warehouse were all gone.

"Gold!!!"

Nami let out a wail.

"What's wrong?! Miss Nami!!"

Sanji ran over and asked, and of course the others followed, except for Chopper, who was in charge of the helm.

"The gold is gone."

"The gold we brought down from the Sky Island has all disappeared."

"It must have been taken by the navy."

Nami collapsed to the ground, looking utterly dejected.

"What!!"

Luffy was very surprised.

"That's absolutely despicable!!"

Usopp cursed.

Zoro and Sanji remained silent.

Robin turned his gaze to Bai Yun, who responded with a smile.

"Nami, if you wish for the gold to return now, maybe it will come back, believe it or not."

Bai Yun spoke up.

Nami looked up at him, "Now that things are like this, what are you still joking about?! How can you..."

Before she could utter the word "can," Nami noticed everyone staring at her back, and she couldn't help but turn around curiously to look.

Then, Lika Baiyun slowly descended from the sky, her hair fluttering in the wind, her back radiating light, and her white chef's uniform appearing holy, like an angel descending from heaven.

But the most important thing was the three bags of gold he was carrying, which were filled to the brim.

"Spread".

"I'm not late, everyone."

Bai Yun landed completely on the deck, smiled, and asked a question, placing the three bags of gold on the deck as well.

Nami looked at the gold, then at Bai Yun, and excitedly stood up to give Bai Yun a hug.

"Great!! Great!! You'll get a bigger share of the profits later, Bai Yun!!"

The funny thing is, Nami's voice was almost choked with tears when she said this; she was crying tears of joy.

Gold is back, and everyone is naturally happy.

Sanji was a bit different; Nami hugged Baiyun, which made him so envious he almost ground his teeth to powder.

"Haha, then I'll be very happy."

"Right now, let's leave first. Our tour of the naval base is about to end."

Bai Yun replied, extending his right hand towards Taikula Bai Yun. Taikula Bai Yun was then drawn in and merged into the bracelet, and Xiao Bai also took the opportunity to come over and coil around his hand.

Chapter 384 Special Training

Just as Bai Yun said, the exit has been opened, everyone has arrived, and the gold has been retrieved. Therefore, their visit to the Navy G8 branch base is over, and it's time for them to leave.

.........

Since it was time to leave, and at this point there was no need for a clone, Bai Yun recalled the Taikula clone.

Nami released Bai Yun. "You were right, Bai Yun."
