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

"Eek~ Captain, let me hug you too."

Porki came to "rescue" Chopper; at least being held by a beautiful woman was better than being held by a fox-headed old man.

"Then, from now on, you are a member of our Foxy Pirates."

Foxy placed Chopper on a chair and put the Foxy Pirates' signature bat eyepatch on him.

"Waaaaah π_π, everyone..."

Chopper cried his eyes out.

"Chopper!!!"

"A real man!!"

"Stop crying!!"

Zoro, with his back to Chopper, was drinking heavily. Although he still had a cold expression, he was the one who was angrier.

Chopper was stunned for a moment after Zoro's shout, then took a deep breath and held back his tears.

"Everyone!!"

"I won't cry anymore!!"

"I believe you will take me back!!"

After saying that, Chopper crossed his arms and struck a brave pose.

"Well said, Chopper."

Bai Yun's voice rang out leisurely.

"Bai Yun!"

"You're awake? What happened?"

"Great."

Upon seeing Bai Yun wake up, everyone immediately looked over and asked with concern.

Chopper on stage also breathed a sigh of relief.

"......"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

Bai Yun remained silent for a moment before replying.

Intelligent people remained silent in response to Bai Yun's words, such as Xiao Bai, Zoro, Sanji, and Robin.

Nami and Usopp also sensed that something was amiss.

As for Luffy, "Hahaha, are you that tired? Good luck, but you'll feel better once you wake up."

"Yes, it's good that you're awake."

"Let's get back to business."

"Chopper, you're right, we'll bring it back for you, we definitely will."

Bai Yun was furious, mainly because he hadn't expected this unexpected turn of events to cause him to lose the match, and besides, he'd never even touched Chopper's fluffy face!

Flames seemed to blaze in his eyes, and his aura was palpable. This was the first time Bai Yun had ever been truly angry, except for when he burned down the terminal station as a child.

How terrifying!

Faced with Bai Yun, who seemed to have descended from hell, the Foxys were quite startled.

"Click."

"call."

Sanji lit a cigarette and exhaled smoke in one smooth motion.

"Leave the rest to us."

Zoro tossed aside his empty sake jug, stood up, and without saying a word, began warming up.

"But in the second match, Chopper was there, but Chopper was..."

Nami asked, puzzled.

"This is the essence of the competition. As I said before, once the number of participants is determined, it cannot be changed. Therefore, there are only two of you in the second match."

Foxy said with a cunning look on his face.

"Don't be too confident."

Bai Yun glared back and stepped onto the stage.

"What are you doing?! What are you doing?!"

"Are you going to break the rules and fight?!"

Foxy took two steps back and said.

There's nothing I can do; Bai Yun's expression right now looks just like that of a serial killer.

Bai Yun ignored him and said, "Chopper, transform into human form."

"what?"

"it is good."

Although Chopper was puzzled, he obediently followed orders and transformed into human form with a bang.

"Eek, this form is not cute at all."

"Porchi murmured."

Bai Yun adjusted his emotions, his expression turned into a smile, and then he reached out his right hand and touched Chopper's face.

Then he reached back and touched his face.

Bang.

Bai Yun then transformed into Chopper's human form.

"What!!!"

This left Foxy and his team so shocked that their jaws nearly dropped to the floor.

Chapter 400 The Heart of Emerald

Originally, Chopper was one of the three players in the second match.

But Chopper was taken away by Foxy.

Therefore, for the second match, only Zoro and Sanji can participate; no replacements are allowed—that's the rule.

The rules, right?

Bai Yun directly replicated Bon Chopper's Imitation Fruit ability, transforming into Chopper's human form.

"It's Bon Clay's Devil Fruit ability!!"

Luffy answered first.

"Is it okay now?"

Bai Yun asked in a cold voice, and it was Chopper's voice that came out. It was rare to see Chopper's voice so cold.

Foxy and his colleagues were so shocked they didn't know how to respond.

Is this okay or not?

No way, he has Chopper's face.

That's true, although he has Chopper's face, he's not the real Chopper.

Bai Yun didn't care about any of that. He took it as their consent, turned around, and jumped off the stage.

"It will be resolved in 30 minutes, is that alright?"

Bai Yun said to Zoro and Sanji that during the day, his replication ability can only last for 30 minutes.

Sanji smiled, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

"Not a problem."

Zoro crossed his arms and said, "Of course."

Bai Yun nodded slightly and turned to look at Foxy and the others.

"Let's begin!"

........

Before the second match begins, let's explain why Bai Yun suddenly fainted and why he felt like his soul was being pulled apart.

During the long round-the-island race.

On another part of the world, the clones Haku and Ace are also on their journey to Water Seven.

However, because the boat is small, it is best to go ashore and buy some dry food when you arrive at each island.

Although Ace's appetite wasn't as big as Luffy's, it wasn't small either.

To avoid starving to death, Bai Yun carried out this plan.

Moreover, if you could get a permanent pointer to Water Seven, the route would be much simpler, so getting to shore sometimes depends on luck.

On this day, the same day Luffy and his crew encountered the Foxy Pirates, Bai Yun and Ace arrived at an island: Auction Island.

This is an island where people make a living through auctions. There is no kingdom. The largest auction house on the island, "Life Auction House," is the biggest boss on the island.

........

"Hmm...the annual...hmm...large-scale auction."

"I have no interest."

Ace was eating his food while looking at the flyer in his hand, showing no interest whatsoever. He tossed it behind him and then, as he was chewing, his head suddenly slammed into his food. Luckily, at the last second, a hand reached out and caught his face, slapping it back down.

"oops."

"Hmm...did I fall asleep again, Bai Yun?"
