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

"Punishment: Catching Fish in One Go"

Then, twisting his waist and using force, he flung Lu Qi out like a fish out of water.

With a thud, Lucci was pulled over and slammed to the ground, upside down.

"Are you serious?!"

Seeing this commotion, Nami was surprised; they were really fighting.

Icebergs are nothing new.

"This is commonplace for them."

Usopp suddenly shouted in surprise.

"Wow!! Look, he caught that move with just one hand!"

Although Lu Qi was upside down, he didn't plunge headfirst into the ground. Instead, he supported himself with one hand and stood steadily.

"Fingers stuck in the ground? What kind of fingers are they?! What kind of craftsmen are these?"

Usopp couldn't help but complain, but sometimes his words would come true.

Forest Mask Bai Yun agreed, saying that they were indeed not ordinary craftsmen, but craftsmen from "Wang Wei's poems".

........

Lucci rolled over and got up.

Barry immediately went on high alert.

"What, you want to fight? Bring it on."

"Stop, Barry!"

Even the iceberg couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hehe, I'm so sorry for disturbing everyone."

The pigeon spoke again.

“My name is Rob… no, I’m Pigeon Hadley, and this guy is Rob Lucci. He works here. Nice to meet you.”

"Huh, you think you're a human being?"

Nami caught the mistake in starting with "pigeon" and finally realized what had happened.

"I get it, it's ventriloquism!!"

Luffy: "Really? So you're the one who's been chattering away since just now."

Usopp: "Wow, that's amazing! I never even noticed."

Barry: "Yeah, this guy rarely talks to people, he's a weirdo! Hahahaha."

Lucci: "Shut up, it doesn't matter what happens!! *coo coo*!"

With a stubborn "coo," Lucci was still pretending.

Only Bai Yun knew.

Lucci was just pretending. His personality wouldn't allow him to act, and he wouldn't allow himself to say things like "I'm sorry" or "I disturbed you." But he had to go undercover, so he could only relay what Pigeon said, which meant it wasn't actually his own words.

It's clear that he could have easily mocked Barry after the mission ended, regardless of his exposed identity.

.......

"Hahaha...Ah!!!"

Barry was laughing when he saw Nami, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. It wasn't that he was lecherous, but rather that he wasn't lecherous at all.

"What kind of outfit is this?!"

"You shameless woman!!!"

"This is a men's workplace!! How could you dress like this?! Don't be ridiculous!!"

Lucci immediately grabbed him.

Kalifa came over to persuade him, but ended up getting herself involved as well.

"Ugh!! And you, Kalifa!! Instead of reflecting on your actions, you're wearing such indecent clothes again!!"

"Hahaha, he really is a weirdo."

Listening to Barry's words, this is Luffy's assessment of him.

Bai Yun's evaluation of him.

A gambler with outdated, feudalistic, male chauvinistic thinking.

Bai Yun just wants to say...

You'd better not meddle in other people's business.

Chapter 437 Troubled Times

Sitting on the Going Merry, with the wind blowing, Zoro remained silent as he watched Kaku's departing figure.

Kaku's words just now reminded Zoro of what Haku said: "We're enemies now."

Zoro couldn't help but feel that many things were about to happen.

These are turbulent times...

.........

After getting their money back at the shipyard, and with a little bit of commotion, Luffy and his crew successfully gained entry to the shipyard for a tour.

"Let me carry it for you, Usopp."

"Forest Mask Hakuyun said, extending his hands to Usopp."

Usopp trusted Bai Yun a lot, so he directly handed over 200 million Berries to him.

"Then it's up to you. I trust you with this... White Forest Mask, hahaha."

Bai Yun smiled back, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

The group strolled around the factory, and the workers visibly showed respect and deference to the iceberg.

Kalifa explained.

Originally, the city of Seven Waters had seven shipbuilding companies competing with each other.

It was Iceberg who won over the craftsmen with his superb shipbuilding skills, and five years ago merged the seven companies in the entire Water City into the current Carrera Company.

What Carly didn't mention is that Iceberg also collaborated with the World Government, making Carrera Corporation the World Government's official shipbuilding company, which prevented World Government officials from taking action against Iceberg.

"The craftsmen are proud of their skills, so they won't bow to pirates or powerful figures. This is the kind of place this is..."

Just as I was marveling at Kalifa's superb acting skills, Luffy suddenly appeared in front of me, patting the iceberg, "Hahaha, so you're such a skilled craftsman, uncle! Come join us as pirates!"

Barry and Kalifa were so frightened their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Don't be rude!!"

Iceberg naturally declined Luffy's invitation. He was the mayor of the city, and although he was a bit of a slacker, he wouldn't stoop to becoming a pirate.

However, the craftsmen in this factory are all very skilled, and he won't stop anyone from going with Luffy.

"I see. You're so understanding, uncle. But can't you come instead?" Luffy replied with a smile.

"No, I'm the mayor."

"it's okay."

"........"

Luffy is clearly very determined, and Iceberg changed the subject when he saw this.

"Aside from that, do you have a woman named Nicole Robin on your ship?"

Luffy nodded. "Yes, she's a very intelligent person..."

Just as Iceberg was hesitating whether to continue speaking, Kaku returned.

Seeing this, Iceberg decided to keep quiet.

.........

Meanwhile, Usopp and Baiyun left the main group and toured the factory together.

"Wow!!"

"That's the Demi Karubarin Cannon! It's so long!! So impressive!!"

Usopp saw the shipwrights loading a cannon, and as a sniper, he recognized what kind of cannon it was—well, it was quite famous.

"coming!"

A gust of wind came from behind, Bai Yun thought to himself. Before he could do anything, the Franky family appeared from behind, covered his mouth, and led him and Usoppra away.

"That's made of bronze, right? It looks so...uhhh!!!"

.........

On the waterway, Sanji, riding on Blue, looked worried.

He reunited with Chopper, but that's why he's so worried.

"I'm sorry, Sanji, I was just too engrossed in reading."

Chopper transformed into his deer form and joined Sanji on the ship, expressing his apologies for being separated from Robin.

"No, it's not your fault."

"I thought the one with Robin was you in your human form... but it seems that's not the case..."

"Is it Bai Yun? Then why is he dressed like that?"

"Also, there's no way they couldn't hear me."

"It disappeared where there was water ahead. It just doesn't seem right."

"I hope she's alright, I just can't shake this feeling."
