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

"Stop pretending, just take whatever you want!!"

This is how the members of the Foxy Pirates reacted to Luffy's words.

Putting everything else aside, the last one has backbone, but he's also easily beaten by the captain. You're the captain, am I?

"Okay, I understand. Then I'll take that sign and draw a new one for you."

Luffy replied, sounding very understanding.

Foxy, his eyes also filled with emotion, said, "Straw Hat Boy, I never expected you..."

Bai Yun simply said, "You're celebrating too soon."

........

"that's it."

Luffy's artwork has always been questionable, possessing a kind of reckless and suicidal beauty.

The new logo made Foxy and his team kneel in awe.

"It's so ugly!!"

Luffy thought they were quite satisfied.

"They were all very grateful to me."

Foxy and the others immediately jumped up to retort, "No way!!!"

"Let me hug you one more time, little Qiaoqiao~"

Finally, as Porchi chased after Chopper, Itomimis announced the end of the match.

"The Straw Hat Pirates are the winners!!"

"Davy Back Fight has now ended!!"

.........

"Great, the Going Merry is finally free."

With Foxy and his crew about to leave, they naturally had to loosen the claw anchor that secured the Merry in the middle.

Usopp couldn't help but cheer with joy.

As Foxy walked away, he didn't forget to utter some harsh words.

"Hey!! Straw Hat Boy!!"

"You just wait and see!!!"

"What an interesting bunch of guys."

Bai Yun sighed.

Luffy nodded in agreement.

Who knows what Bai Yun's next line is?

"It makes you want to shoot them."

........

Holding the Foxy Pirates' flag, Luffy and his crew returned to Uncle Donggete's house.

After Bai Yun explained the whole story, Nami finally understood.

"So that's why Luffy accepted the challenge."

"Even if this hadn't happened, Luffy would have accepted it anyway."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Nami's words.

Luffy retorted, "You're so rude!! Nami!!"

Nami shrugged, not understanding him for a moment, and looked at Uncle Donggit instead.

"If only we could help you catch up with your people."

Donggit shook his head. "The ten islands are connected, so there's no way to store records. Sherry and I have plenty of patience, so we don't need to trouble you."

"Oh, right, since you've come to be guests, as the host, I have to entertain you!"

After saying that, Dongjit turned and went into the house.

"Don't take that kind of cheese, sir!"

Usopp immediately said.

But when Donggit arrived at the door of the house, someone came out from inside, and Donggit bumped right into them.

It was a tall figure.

When Robin saw him, she collapsed to the ground, her face filled with terror.

Chapter 422 Admiral

The appearance of the tall figure caused the usually composed and stoic Robin to fall to the ground, his face filled with terror.

"Robin!"

"Luffy!" Sanji called out worriedly.

"What's wrong, Robin?!"

Everyone else was confused, but Bai Yun knew exactly who this tall guy was.

Admiral-sized, mushroom-shaped hairstyle, eye patch, Admiral Aokiji of the Marine Headquarters.

........

"You've grown into a beautiful young woman, Nico Robin."

When Aokiji saw Robin, his expression was, well, a little cunning.

Seeing Robin so flustered, Luffy naturally found it strange.

"Robin, what's going on? Do you know this guy?"

Robin panicked and remained silent in the face of Luffy's questions.

Aokiji, however, answered.

"I knew him before."

"Robin, why are you so flustered? Who is this guy?"

Nami asked again, raising her voice slightly, in an attempt to wake Robin.

Everyone else, except Bai Yun, also adopted defensive or offensive stances.

Whoever it is, whoever made Robin so flustered, can't be a good person.

"Hey, let's talk this out. Don't be so aggressive, young men."

"Well, someone like this young man would be quite good."

Aokiji cued Bai Yun.

Bai Yun did not respond.

"I didn't come here on any orders."

"I just happened to be taking a walk here because the weather was nice..."

Zoro grasped the key point in his words.

"Order?!"

Which organization are you from?

Robin had finally calmed down a bit by then.

"He is a navy officer."

"It's Admiral Aokiji of the Marine Headquarters."

This is also why Bai Yun remained silent.

It's like reaching level 50 in a game but encountering a level 90 boss – it's practically a death sentence, unless you don't fight the boss.

This is different from when we fought Blackbeard.

Bai Yun has fewer trump cards left, especially his most important asset: Karp's physique.

Moreover, it's not moonlit night, it's broad daylight!

"A...General!! How powerful is he?!"

Sanji asked the same question, just like pushing the plot forward.

There are only three officers in the navy who hold the rank of admiral.

"Akainu, Aokiji, Kizaru."

"Above them is only the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the supreme ruler of the navy."

"They are known as the World Government's top fighting force, and he is one of them!!"

Robin explained.

To Bai Yun, these words sounded somewhat exaggerated at this moment.

The World Government's top combat power is not those three; the World Government must have its own secret top combat power.

It's almost fair to say they're the Navy's top combat force, but the Navy hero Garp is like a mountain standing there.

Regardless, these words were shocking enough to everyone else, except for Luffy, who was fearless in the face of anyone—oh no, when Garp came, Luffy was still afraid.

Usopp shouted from behind Zoro.

"What are you doing here, someone as important as you?"

"You should go find those even stronger, more powerful pirates to fight!"

"Quick! Get somewhere else!!"

Meanwhile, Aokiji was flirting with Nami.
