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

Luffy immediately took it, not caring whether it was hot or not, and took a bite.

"Hot! Hot! Hot!"

The result was that he stuck out his tongue, which was scalded red, like a dog being repaired.

"Hmm, it smells pretty good."

Karp's snot bubble burst at the aroma, and he opened his eyes just as Bai Yun was offering him another piece of thigh meat.

"Oh ho, not bad, not bad."

"Just by watching for a week, you've developed such skill. That's quite an impressive Devil Fruit ability."

"Kapp said with emotion."

Bai Yun smiled back, but inwardly he was silently cursing the old man.

This is the 8th day of his, Luffy's, and Garp's special training in the forest. Of course, it's Luffy's special training, and it also happens to be the last day of his first month in the pirate world.

Garp's special training for Luffy was basically just teaching him physical conditioning. He didn't use any of the Six Powers of the Navy or any other attack techniques, and Luffy didn't even have a chance to replicate them.

You have to understand that Garp is a pure physical combat expert who didn't eat a Devil Fruit. If you could replicate his physical combat skills and keep them, that would be a life-saving weapon.

However, by replicating other people's cooking skills in 7 days, Bai Yun figured out some of the characteristics of his replication fruit.

He can replicate what he sees, and if he doesn't use it, he can store it and use it when he needs it. That way, he can watch those strong people fight and directly replicate their abilities and skills, becoming stronger just by watching.

However, it seems that only half of the ability can be replicated by simply looking at it.

Chapter 5 Red Haired Pirates

Do you know why the East Blue, despite producing world-renowned powerhouses like Roger, Garp, and Dragon, is still called the "weakest sea"?

The title "Weakest Sea" only exists in Luffy's era.

That's because when Garp was a child, he frequently traveled between Windmill Village and Marine Headquarters to take care of Luffy. Whether they were pirates who had just left the beginner village or pirates who had gained some experience and arrived in the East Blue, they couldn't escape Garp, this boss monster. They simply couldn't escape.

It was Garp who single-handedly "cleaned up" the East Blue into the "weakest sea," where strong players don't want to come, and newbies get hammered halfway through their development. No wonder it's weak.

.......

"Lieutenant General Garp, are you leaving?"

"Yeah, the holiday is over. If we don't leave soon, that guy Sengoku will call to urge us to leave."

Garp replied, already dressed in his navy uniform and adjusting the collar.

If it weren't for his status, and if he weren't an old friend of Sengoku, which lieutenant general could do what he did—work for a month and then take a month off?

"I'll be back next month. Luffy is in your hands during this time."

"Karp said."

Little Luffy disagreed.

"Bai Yunming and I are about the same age, and he still needs a wheelchair. I'm the one who should be taking care of him!"

After Bai Yun transmigrated, his body changed from an 18-year-old adult to a child. He didn't know his exact age, but he said he was the same age as Luffy, 7 years old.

Garp's reply silenced Luffy.

"can you cook?"

"......"

“When I’m not around, you usually help out at Makino’s tavern. But now that Bai Yun is here, you don’t need to. You’ll even have more time to exercise.”

"I'm leaving now, see you next month."

After giving his instructions, Garp pushed open the door and went out. The warship should already be waiting for him at the dock.

.......

Garp is gone, and Luffy seems a little sad.

"Luffy, Vice Admiral Garp has dismissed him..."

"That's great! Grandpa's finally gone!"

Bai Yun: "......."

I still don't understand you, Luffy.

"Haha, Bai Yun, let's go play!"

"I don't care what Grandpa says about needing to exercise; I'm already exhausted these days!"

"Let's go find Makino and get some juice."

"I want to hear those middle-aged men tell stories about One Piece!"

So the seeds were already sown here.

Bai Yun smiled helplessly, but it was indeed more interesting than watching Luffy train.

"it is good."

........

Half a month has passed since Kapu left Windmill Village, and the town is still very peaceful today, with an east wind blowing.

But the arrival of a pirate ship at the port shattered this peace.

"Huh? Bai Yun!! Shanks and the others are back! Hahaha!"

Luffy, who was fishing at the dock with Bai Yun, became visibly excited when he saw the pirate ship approaching. "This is the grandson of a Marine Vice Admiral!"

"Shanks! The Red-Haired Pirates! They've finally arrived!"

After Garp left, Luffy and Hakuyun talked about the Red-Haired Pirates.

During the time Luffy was 7 years old, the Red-Haired Pirates used Windmill Village as their base for a year.

It was during this time that Luffy met Shanks and the others, learned what pirates were, and developed the idea of ​​going to sea to become a pirate.

Using Windmill Village as a base doesn't mean they never go out to sea or stay on land. They still go out when necessary, but they come back every now and then. During the month and a half that Bai Yun traveled through time, Shanks and his crew happened to be out at sea.

Bai Yun lay in a wheelchair, but at the age of seven, he looked at the newspaper with an air of maturity. Upon hearing Luffy's voice, he immediately put down the newspaper and looked out to sea. Sure enough, a pirate ship was slowly approaching.

As expected, it was the Red Fox of the Red-Haired Pirates, with its pirate flag, square-faced skull, three red scratch marks on its left eye, and two swords on its back.

.......

"Ah! Luffy!"

"Long time no see!"

As the ship docked, Luffy immediately ran to the bottom of the ship. At the bow, Shanks, who still had both arms, smiled and greeted Luffy.

"Alright! Anchor! Disembark! This haul has been plentiful, we need to celebrate!"

Shanks turned to Beckman and the others and said, "It seems they had a good voyage this time."

Before Shanks and the others could get off, Luffy climbed onto the ship and stood on the protruding "dragon head" at the bow of the Red Fox.

Below, Bai Yun could only push the wheelchair closer, knowing what Luffy was about to do.

From a high vantage point, Luffy stood with his hands on his hips.

"Hey! Shanks! Take me with you on your next sea voyage! I want to be a pirate!!"

As soon as he said it, he was ridiculed by Shanks and the others, after all, Luffy was still a little kid and couldn't swim.

"Hahaha! Luffy, stop fooling around, get down! What are you doing at sea, you little brat who can't even swim?! Hahaha!"

A merciless taunt from Shanks.

Luffy grinned angrily, revealing his white teeth, and pulled out a dagger from behind his back.

"I'm not kidding! I've had enough!"

I'll prove it to you!

"Hahahaha...that's hilarious! You try it and see what you're up to."

"Luffy is doing something interesting again."

Shanks and the others clearly didn't believe Luffy, treating him like a child.

Available in the next second.

Luffy resolutely slashed his left cheek!

Chapter 6 Silver Bracelet

Luffy resolutely slashed his right cheek to show his determination.

Bai Yun felt a pain in his right cheek just looking at it; that damned empathy.

"don't want!"

"Luffy!"

Luffy's move immediately threw the Red-Haired Pirates members, who had been watching the show, into a panic.

"Ouch! O ...!"

"Idiot! What are you doing?!"

Shanks dodged and caught Luffy, tucking him under his arm and "grabbing" him back onto the deck.

"Get this idiot dealt with quickly!"

Bai Yun sat in his wheelchair on the dock, watching the noisy scene on the ship. Human joys and sorrows are not shared, and he only found their noise bothersome.

.......

"Alright, let's get off the boat. Honestly, don't do this kind of thing again."

"A man's scars are his medals, but the ones he inflicts himself don't count."

The Red-Haired Pirates' doctor, Hongo, helped Luffy stop the bleeding and put on a band-aid. Although it wasn't a serious injury, it would definitely leave a scar. He was very angry about Luffy's "self-harming" behavior. This kid, of all places, he had to cut his face.

"Get off the ship, get off the ship, really, you've given us a very nice welcome gift, Luffy."

Shanks urged Luffy to disembark, thinking, "Honestly, we should go have a drink."
