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

“You release the princess from your control, and I will step forward to exchange souls with you for the Emerald Heart.”

Bai Yun stated his conditions—or rather, the conditions Changsheng desired.

"Hahaha, chatting with smart people is so easy."

"That would be perfect, Long Hair Bai Yun!"

Changsheng made no attempt to hide his smugness.

"No!! Bai Yun!!"

Ace would never allow his brother to be controlled in front of him.

With a powerful punch, he knocked Giles back and came over to this side, staring at Changsheng and saying decisively.

"no!!"

Chang Sheng wasn't in a hurry. He put on a show-watching look, which he loved. Bai Yun was willing to sacrifice himself in exchange for Bai Yun's help and even had to persuade his own brother. How pathetic!

Bai Yun also started to put on an acting show, grabbing Ace's hand and saying, "Ace, if I don't go to hell, who will?"

"If I don't go to hell, who will..."

I love this sentence!

"I'm going to write this down so that those whose bodies I swap with will one day lose their bodies while looking at this sentence! Hahahaha!!"

Changsheng laughed again, and Bai Yun realized that he was right to say that Changsheng was a pervert.

Looking at Ace, who had seemed so resolute just moments before, he has now changed his mind.

"Alright, since this is your choice, Bai Yun."

After saying that, he struck Giles again, this time with even greater ferocity and force, as if venting his anger.

Chang Sheng didn't know how Bai Yun had convinced Ace, but this was for the best. He only cared that Bai Yun's body would soon be his.

.........

"First, you need to break free from the control over the princess."

Bai Yun said.

Changsheng stood up and made the princess stand up as well, letting the princess walk in front while he walked behind. He grabbed the princess's neck with one hand and made a fist behind her back with the other. The princess's eyes gradually regained their luster.

"Princess!!"

David shouted, testing whether the princess had regained consciousness.

"Uncle David."

"Princess!!"

David's words showed that he truly cared about the princess.

The princess, however, expressed her opinion.

"Mr. Bai Yun, no, I can't sacrifice you to save myself!!"

Despite the fact that he was about to be controlled, Bai Yun acted as if he didn't care.

"Your words at least prove that I didn't save the wrong person, Your Highness."

He couldn't let his good fortune be ruined, so he tightened his grip.

"You have no choice, Your Highness."

After saying that, Changsheng stretched out his hand and placed the Jade Heart in his hand with his aged body.

"Walk."

Having obtained the Emerald Heart, he then gestured for the princess to leave, as he was going to welcome his new body.

.........

Parry with your left fist.

Block with your right fist.

Giles blocked both of Ace's punches, so he crouched down and swept his leg.

As the leg swept across, Ace's legs turned into flames, completely unaffected by the kick.

While Armament Haki can attack the physical form of Logia-type Devil Fruit users, Logia-type users can also evade attacks by transforming in advance.

Ace's Observation Haki detected Gilles's thoughts, so he used his own feet to elementalize and dodge the attack. Even Armament Haki couldn't hit him with this method of dodging, unless it was a wide-range charged punch like Garp's, which was impossible to dodge.

Giles is still in a squatting position; a good opportunity.

"Sacred Fire Shiranui!!"

Ace's hands transformed into flames, and in an instant, the flames turned into flaming spears that pierced Gilles' shoulders.

Armament Haki isn't a 100% defense. Giles withstood it, but still felt pain and tried to get up, but only managed to get halfway up.

Ace took advantage of his illness to kill him.

An elbow strike, seemingly from the same school as Bai Yun, was aimed at Giles's forehead.

Upon seeing this, Giles immediately raised his hands to cover his forehead and block Ace's elbow strike, but he was still knocked back by the force.

As Giles retreated, Ace stepped forward to catch up, flames blazing fiercely on his hands. In an instant, he closed in on Giles and delivered a powerful punch to his chest.

"Fire Fist!!!"

boom!!

With a powerful punch, flames poured out like a giant wave from the point where the fist collided with Giles's chest.

Giles was suspended in mid-air, the two impacts combined, and he shot out like a bullet, crashing into the room door and knocking it down into the hallway, where he lay unable to get up.

Chapter 410 Connection Error

"Whoo~"

Ace exhaled while maintaining his punching stance. Once he finished exhaling, he withdrew his fist, glanced at Giles lying on the door to make sure he couldn't get up, and then turned to look at Bai Yun and the others.

Bai Yun and Chang Sheng were now within a meter of each other.

The princess stood before Changsheng, while David stood three meters behind Bai Yun, as Changsheng had requested.

Ace remained silent, walked to the side next to David, and stood beside Bai Yun. Giles had been dealt with; the rest of the immortality was up to Bai Yun.

.........

"Put your hand on me, and I'll let go of the princess."

"Chang Sheng said, then extended his hand holding the Jade Heart.

Bai Yun wasn't in a hurry and glanced at the Jade Heart.

"If you say that, then it means you can't control people at will, right?"

"Only at the moment when the Emerald Heart exchanges soul consciousness can you control the person you exchange with, which is why you said that no matter how strong the body is, the soul is fragile."

"Given the constant, furtive tapping of your fingers, I'm guessing your fruit is something like a marionette, right?"

Bai Yun shared his guess.

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, not expecting Bai Yun to have guessed this far.

"That's...that's so clever!!"

"The thought that this brain will soon be mine makes me incredibly happy."

"That's right, you're right. The fruit I ate is the Paramecia-type Pup-Pup Fruit. I can control objects or dead people as puppets, but that's not enough for me in combat."

"At the moment the Emerald Hearts exchanged their soul consciousness, weren't those two bodies, devoid of soul consciousness, also 'dead objects'? By taking control of the bodies before the other's consciousness could enter, once it did, they discovered that the control of the bodies didn't belong to them, but to me!"

"And he was fully conscious, yet could only watch helplessly, how pitiful, hahahaha!!!"

Changsheng revealed the principles behind how he controls other people's bodies. Feeling confident of victory, he made no attempt to hide anything, believing that the other person would regret it.

"You're making this so clear, are you out of your mind?"

Bai Yun replied, and Chang Sheng was taken aback.

"Hmph, who's courting death? Only they know."

Are you going to agree or not?!

Changsheng was getting a little impatient.

Bai Yunhui smiled and said, "Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish."

Without saying a word, Bai Yun reached out and placed his hand on the Jade Heart. In the same way, the Jade Heart began to glow with a green light.

Changsheng kept his word and pushed the princess away. Perhaps it was because during the exchange of soul consciousness, no third person was allowed to have physical contact with her.

"Princess!!"

David immediately caught the princess, who looked at Bai Yun with eyes full of guilt. She was conscious but unable to speak, and the feeling of being out of control of her body was incredibly desperate.

Soon, the light of the Emerald Heart enveloped Bai Yun and Chang Sheng, and then spread back, proving that the conversion was successful.

But the two bodies remained silent.

Kama stood motionless, his eyes lifeless, like an empty shell.

Suddenly, Changsheng's voice emerged from Bai Yun's body.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

"This body is mine now!!"

Don't make promises you can't keep!

But suddenly, Bai Yun's voice still came from his own body.

"This is impossible! How are you still here?!"

Chang Sheng panicked instantly. Why was Bai Yun's consciousness still inside his body?

"Nothing is impossible; it was your own choice to change it."

"Now, I'm going to take you to see something good!!"

Bai Yun said.
