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

Spandam seemed to have already imagined himself being riddled with bullets after being used as a shield by Bai Yun.

"Long-haired Bai Yun, please spare me."

"Kill me, and the World Government will fight you to the death!!"

"The Buster Call is imminent!!"

"I can promise you that your Straw Hat Pirates will leave Enies Lobby safely, if you spare my life."

Spandam pleaded and threatened, hoping that Bai Yun would spare his life.

"Really?!"

Bai Yun's shocked yet delighted tone reached Spandam's ears.

Spandam nodded repeatedly.

"Really, really!!!"

"Okay."

“Tell them that you want to live.”

Bai Yun grabbed Spandam's hair and lifted his head up.

Bai Yun's words only made Spandam feel extremely humiliated.

Bai Yun wanted Spandam to know how Robin felt.

However, Robin was not humiliated, but moved.

Both Robin and her companions had a renewed hope for life, but Robin's hope was rekindled by their perseverance.

Spandam, on the other hand, was simply afraid of dying.

"I want to live!!"

What is shame compared to surviving?

Spandam shouted it out directly.

Bai Yun was very satisfied. "You should be glad that history didn't follow the original trajectory, otherwise, you would have been riddled with bullets by now."

"And you should also be glad that I wanted Robin to take revenge herself and slap your foul mouth."

"I think you're more patheticly stupid than I am of you, sir!!"

After saying that, Bai Yun grabbed Spandam's head and slammed it onto the bridge surface, causing the bridge surface to crack a distance from his head.

Bai Yun kept his word and allowed Spandam to live, then stepped back to stand in front of Robin.

"You're not going to act anymore?"

Robin asked.

"Hahaha, no more acting, there's no need to act anymore. Sister Robin, wait a little longer, the clone sent a message that the key will be here soon."

Bai Yun replied with a smile.

"Sir!! Are you alright?!"

The soldiers pulled Spandam's head out, making his already disfigured face even more disfigured.

"N-no...no...it's nothing, damn it!!! It hurts so much!!!"

"Kill him!! Kill them!!"

Spandam's howl echoed throughout the Bridge of Hesitation.

The soldiers were startled by him, but they immediately carried out the order and opened fire on Bai Yun and Robin.

Bai Yun transformed his bracelet into a blade, slashing it with afterimages, and intercepted all the bullets, cutting them in two.

Based on the feedback from Shanks and Hawkeye, even though Bai Yun had never practiced swordsmanship before, his current swordsmanship is quite formidable!

Chapter 514: Just Treat it as a rhythm game.

What is that steam you're talking about?!

Franky was astonished by Luffy's sudden increase in strength, who had sent him flying in an instant. He was even more surprised by the steam, thinking, "You're a cyborg too? And powered by steam?!"

Lu Qi sat up, covered his forehead, and remained silent, lost in thought.

Luffy did not answer Franky's question, but instead replied...

“This won’t last long. I’ll deal with this guy. You go and give the key to Robin and Bai Yun.”

"I believe Bai Yun will not let Robin be taken into the Gate of Justice. Now all that's missing is the key."

Luffy's thinking is still very clear.

"Alright!! Straw Hat Boy, let's teach this guy a lesson with this move!!"

Franky replied, then ran toward the door.

Lu Qi stood up, instantly activated his human-beast form, transformed into a leopard-man, and spoke in a low voice.

"I told you, I won't let you...the past..."

"Whoa!! You're a Devil Fruit user too!!!"

Franky was seeing Lucci transform for the first time.

"I'll kill you first, Franky!!"

Lucci flashed close to Franky, but Luffy was just as fast and instantly blocked Franky's path.

The two looked at each other.

"Rubber JET Whip!!"

Luffy used Gear Second Gum-Gum Whip to kick Lucci so hard he coughed up blood and was sent flying back into the pile of shattered cargo crates.

Lucci stood up again. If he were so easy to deal with, he wouldn't be the boss this time.

"Don't forget, Straw Hat Luffy, back at Galleyra's Company, I used this very move to send you flying!!"

Finger gun!

Lucci attacked quickly, but his finger struck empty air. Luffy appeared behind him, and Lucci sensed it, immediately turning around to catch Luffy head-on.

"Rubber JET Rocket Launcher!!"

This time, Lucci was knocked to the other side. There was no one guarding the door, so Franky ran over as fast as he could.

"Phew, Robin is now in the hands of Bai Yun and Franky."

Luffy exhaled and continued to face Lucci.

Lucci was hit by Luffy's Gear Second Bazooka, but he seems to be fine. "It was my oversight. I didn't expect you to have such power."

"But it's very good."

"However, you seem to be out of breath, is it because of that steam?"

For Luffy right now, using Gear Second is very physically demanding.

Just like how Haku created six clones before he learned Armament Haki and Garp's Body Feedback.

Okay, Luffy wins by a small margin.

"As long as I can defeat you, that's all that matters."

This is Luffy's answer to Lucci's question.

Lu Qi smiled—a bloodthirsty, warlike smile.

"Then you have to work harder."

.........

The guards on the island who had not yet fled cried out in surprise when they saw the Gates of Justice fully opened.

"Look! The gates of justice have been fully opened!!!"

During Luffy's battle with Lucci, Franky's breakthrough, and White Luck's fight against Spandam, the enormous Gate of Justice was fully opened, a truly awe-inspiring sight, as if another world lay beyond the gate.

"That's terrifying! I heard they only fully open it after the Buster Call warships have completely passed through!!"

"Let's run!! Otherwise, we'll die under the Buster Call's fire!!"

The Buster Call is coming soon.

Franky, carrying the key, also reached the spiral staircase and hurried towards the bridge.

"Robin, wait for me!!!"

"Long-haired man, hang in there!!"

However, what Franky didn't know was that Bai Yun, the protagonist he was telling to "hang in there," was actually... well... quite relaxed on the bridge.

........

"How boring, too weak."

"Everyone had a good fight and stretched their muscles."

"You lot..."

"Excuse my bluntness, but it's all garbage!!"

Bai Yun spoke seriously to Spandam and the naval guard opposite him.

The more serious the face, the more insulting it is.

"Damn it!! Shoot him!! Kill him!! I don't believe he can hold out for long!!"

Spandam shouted, and another volley of bullets came flying.

Bai Yun sighed, "Fine, let's just treat it as a rhythm game."

He gripped the hilts of the swords with both hands, separated them, and wielded two swords. Bai Yun swung the swords rapidly, sparks flying, and the ground was littered with bullets that had fallen and split in two.

"You can come again."

After a volley of bullets, Bai Yun said with a mocking tone.

Spandam was furious.
