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

On the Straw Hat Pirates' daily meals, there are no strict rules. The seat of honor doesn't necessarily have to be occupied by Luffy, the captain. Anyone else can sit there, either the person who cooks or the person who has something to say. Others who don't have anything to say won't try to take the seat of honor.

As soon as Luffy arrived, he immediately went to sit in the main seat, because the portion of food on the main seat was the largest.

The others came in one by one, with Nami being the second last. She brought over three bags of gold.

Finally, there are Bai Yun and Xiao Bai.

After entering, Bai Yun's clone number 5 automatically returned to the bracelet.

There were two main seats, one in front and one behind. Luffy sat in the front seat, and the back seat was reserved for Bai Yun.

After everyone was seated, they began to eat, although Luffy started showing off as soon as he sat down.

White doesn't need a seat; he eats directly on the table, but he has to stay away from Luffy to avoid accidentally swallowing something.

Both he and Luffy risk accidentally swallowing each other, the only difference being that one gets carried away by eating and the other gets carried away by anger.

.........

Eat without talking and sleep without talking.

This is the mark of a gentleman.

But we're all pirates.

"All the shells taken from the Sky Island, except for the Cloud Shells, are usable."

Usopp said.

Bai Yun swallowed what he was chewing. "That doesn't matter. It seems Yun Bei doesn't need it, since we don't have an Ice Blade-type Weapon."

"Hmm...that's true."

Usopp rubbed his chin, then suddenly remembered something. He took a seashell out of his bag and handed it to Bai Yun. "By the way, this is the recording shell you asked me to use to record the sound of the Golden Bell."

"You still remember? I was just about to say that if you forgot, the afternoon training session would be doubled."

"Thank you."

Bai Yun took the recorder, but didn't rush to press the button to listen to the chimes.

Usopp gave him a forced smile, thinking to himself that it was good he remembered, otherwise he would have been in big trouble.

"However, even if there isn't an ice blade type Waver, there is a regular Waver, but only Nami and I can use it, right, Luffy?"

Bai Yun specifically mentioned Luffy.

This morning, he tried it three times, refusing to believe it, and each time he filled his stomach with water.

He pounded on the deck indignantly, "I thought if it didn't work on the floating islands, it would work on the open sea!!"

"Ugh!! I absolutely have to... ugh... Wiba..."

Luffy replied while chewing on something, meaning he absolutely had to learn how to use Waver.

Although we never saw him "conquer" Wiba again after that.

.........

As the saying goes, "Walk a hundred steps after a meal, and you'll live to ninety-nine."

However, as the saying goes, "If you lie down after a meal, you'll live to be eight hundred and eighty."

Since Nami has something to say, it's time for an after-dinner chat.

"Everyone!"

"Sorry to keep you all waiting. Of course, the treasure obtained by the pirates will be divided among everyone."

"So much gold is worth a lot of money."

"YEAH!!!"

"I've been waiting for this for so long, I want to buy the bronze statue!!"

Luffy's inexplicable obsession with the bronze statue.

"I can buy books!!"

Chopper was still studying diligently; he wanted to buy medical books from various countries.

"You can drink as much as you want now."

Zoro only shows a bright smile when drinking is mentioned.

"A new stove and frying pan... tableware and a large mousetrap."

Sanji then put on his glasses, took out his abacus, and started calculating how much money he needed.

Everything before that was normal. As for the "large rat trap," well, there were indeed large "rats" on the ship, with even bigger appetites.

Robin remained silent; what she wanted was history, some of which money couldn't buy.

Bai Yun didn't really want to buy anything. Oh, right, there were some small accessories he wanted to buy, like pirate hats, one-eyed patches, pirate hooks, and the like, which would be helpful for his future character costumes.

Everyone was having a good time, but Nami said something else.

"So, first of all, 8% of it is my personal savings."

Nami gave away 8% of the gold; Luffy and the others would never agree to that! They all stretched out their right hands.

"That's not a good idea!!"

Seeing this, Nami stuck out her tongue and said, "Just kidding."

"This money is for repairing the ship."

"Boat?"

"The Merry?"

Luffy took a moment to realize that Nami was referring to the Going Merry.

"Yes, don't you think it's already in a terrible state of disrepair?"

"Okay!! That's settled."

"Major overhaul of the Golden Going Merry! I approve!!"

Luffy raised both hands in approval of the plan.

Nami continued his sentence.

"Since we don't know how much it will cost to repair the ship, let's wait until the ship is repaired before we divide the remaining money."

Once the captain and the person in charge of the money spoke up, everyone else naturally agreed.

Bai Yun tapped the table, thinking to himself, "If only the Going Merry could be repaired, but alas... it's already too tired."

"That's true. Usopp's piecemeal approach won't last long."

Zoro made a sarcastic comment about Usopp's ship repair skills.

Usopp stated, "Let me make this clear first, I'm just a sniper."

"That's right, it's better to find a proper shipyard and a professional ship repairman to fix it."

Sanji said.

Chopper also believed that Usopp was the best ship repairman in the world, perhaps because Usopp had boasted to him.

"What! There's someone better at repairing ships than Usopp?!"

When it comes to ship repairmen, Bai Yun's mind conjures up the image of a pervert... no, a "robot".

"Two more stops..."

Bai Yun sighed softly, then glanced at Robin. Robin was puzzled; she didn't know what Bai Yun meant by that glance. But Bai Yun simply smiled back.

After listening to everyone's conversation, Luffy simply made a decision.

"How about this."

"We're inviting ship repairmen to join us!!"

Chapter 386 Fighting Illness with Illness

After so many adventures, the Going Merry has long become an integral part of the Straw Hat Pirates.

So as they talked, the topic of repairing the Merry came up.

Luffy simply made the suggestion.

"Then let's find a ship repairman to join us."

"Our journey is still long, and we need someone who can repair ships."

"The Merry is our home, our lifeline on the high seas."

"It protects us, so let's find a shipwright who can protect it."

After Luffy spoke, everyone fell silent for a second, lost in thought.

"This kid..."

Sanji said, and Zoro picked up where he left off.

"Sometimes his words can be incredibly insightful..."

Bai Yun laughed out loud, "Hahaha, Luffy is called being wise in a foolish way, but he's foolish most of the time."

"Yes, that's very important!! I agree!!"

As mentioned before, Usopp would wholeheartedly support anything that benefits the Going Merry.

"Okay!! Let's do it that way!! Hopefully we can find a good shipwright."

I agree!

"And musicians!!"

I agree with that!

Luffy is very devoted to being a musician, while Bai Yun himself only prefers that skeleton who is both perverted and gentlemanly.

........

After finishing their meal, everyone went back to the deck, and at that moment, a huge wave, taller than the Merry, suddenly appeared. The culprit was the sea monkey in the waves.
