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

Spandam and his soldiers were also nervous when they saw the Forest Masked White.

The soldiers were simply on edge; the enemy had come again.

Spandam watched as Forest Mask White Yun defeated Bruno.

Franky sensed something was wrong and turned around to look.

"Long-haired man."

"Wait, another long-haired man."

"Damn, what should I call you?"

Forest Mask White Returns.

"Why do you care so much? Let's deal with that idiot first. Haven't you been wanting to do that for a while now?"

Franky responded with a smile, "That's true."

Chapter 524 Final Battle

"That's right."

"Alright, good boy, stay put, little elephant."

Franky agreed with Forest Mask Whitey's suggestion that they should deal with Spandam, that idiot, first.

Turning back, first "appease" the elephant, using the gesture of a finger becoming the muzzle of a gun.

"The masked, long-haired man has arrived."

"That means other people are also on their way."

"Right, the masked long-haired man, Robin, and Straw Hat Luffy will come, right!"

"Definitely!"

Forest Mask Hakuun and Robin said in unison.

The two exchanged a glance, and Forest Mask Hakuun helped Robin up.

"Haha, that's great!"

"I told you I'd staked everything on them! Spanda!!"

"I never thought this day would come, if I were strong enough then."

"I will do anything to save Mr. Tom."

"The world only knows the myth of Enies Lobby's immortality, and only knows the power of the World Government."

But the Straw Hat Pirates shattered this myth!

"For the sake of a partner, everyone is willing to become an enemy of the World Government without hesitation."

"That felt so good..."

"To this day, I have never forgotten how Mr. Tom died!!"

"Every time I think of that lackey's ugly face, I wish I could smash him to pieces one day!!"

"Like this!!"

Frankie grabbed the elephant's trunk and slammed it over his shoulder, sending it crashing into Spandam.

"Now, thanks to them, I have achieved my wish."

"I've died once already. If it means the Straw Hat Pirates can get out of here alive, I'd give my life for it!!"

"Make room for the escort ship!!"

"I need to clear a way out for them."

"Weapon left fist!"

Franky fired a bullet with his left fist, clearing out the soldiers in front of him so he could advance and get the escort ship.

Forest Mask Bai Yun looked at Robin questioningly, and Robin nodded. Then Forest Mask Bai Yun released his hand from hers.

Robin stepped forward, raising his hands in a crisscross pattern. "Me too, I'm fine now."

"Things are different now than they were back in Ohara."

"I have nothing to be afraid of, because I am no longer alone."

“Yes, from the moment you boarded the ship, you were no longer alone, Sister Robin.”

Forest Mask Bai Yun stepped forward and helped seize the escort ship.

Franky and Robin cleared the way, while Forest Mask Whitey strolled forward leisurely.

.........

Undersea tunnel.

Because Lucci kicked open the wall, seawater rushed in, and after Kokoro's family and Zoro's group met, a group of people were flooded.

This is also why Forest Mask White doesn't use the passageway.

As for why Zoro and the others weren't warned?

Because Forest Mask Hakuyun knows Zoro and the others will be alright, and some experiences are too valuable to miss (?ω?).

In the water, everyone was holding their breath, their mouths bulging, but their current skills were insufficient to cope with the situation.

A hopeless situation?

Of course not.

As visibility began to darken, a sound reached everyone's ears.

"No problem, hold your breath, I won't let you die."

Everyone felt their bodies being pulled forward rapidly in the water.

In the darkness, Sanji seemed to see a glimmer of light—hair and a tail fin.

what happens?

Ah, am I dreaming? I must be dreaming.

Some crew members who had previously drowned could vaguely see elegant tail fins as they gradually lost consciousness.

Looking further up, you see long hair floating in the seawater.

Her posture was beautiful, dreamlike, like something out of a mermaid legend...

If it's a dream, then let it continue forever...

However, the sound from the water shattered Sanji's dream, shattering it beyond repair, and also jolted him and everyone else back to reality.

"I'm going to speed up, I'm holding my breath."

"Mmm, gaga gaga!"

Yes, this "beautiful" mermaid is none other than Granny Kokoro.

At that moment, everyone's thoughts were surprisingly aligned: This isn't a mermaid, it's a dugong!!!

........

Little Luffy is running inside the pillars. Staying away from Lucci is the right thing to do until he returns to his original form.

However, Lucci, being a wild beast, came running at the scent, appearing in front of Luffy in a flash and stabbing him with his finger gun, knocking him to the ground.

"Your move is unevenly distributed. If this is a side effect of the punch you just threw."

"It's not a loss for me to take your punch."

"Life Returns: Paper-Painted Martial Arts!"

Lucci, in his human-beast form, freely controlled his body, fur, and internal organs. After infusing his consciousness into them, his body shrank and became more compact, reducing his strength but increasing his speed. The effect of the paper drawing was also greatly enhanced, and he could dodge many attacks by relying on the instincts of various parts of his body, thus conserving his stamina.

"Finger gun!"

Activating his Paper Drawing Body Technique, Lucci's speed increased, and he instantly closed in on Luffy. Although it was a finger gun, he grabbed Luffy by the neck, lifted him up, and slammed him against the wall.

"Your ridiculous skills are ultimately of no use to me."

After saying that, Lucci pressed down hard, wedging Luffy into the wall, and then quickly retreated.

"Oh no! It's stuck!!"

Luffy struggled to break free, but the grip was too tight.

This is a great opportunity!

"What a shame, looking like this... you're doomed, Straw Hat!!"

"Finger Gun - Spotted!"

Lucci ran forward, simultaneously firing countless finger guns from both hands, closing in on Luffy once more. Perhaps the reason he left earlier was to build up his power from a distance.

Luffy slapped his face, yelling, "Change back quickly!! I'm going to die!! Hurry!!"

The next second, Luffy's body, like a balloon, suddenly popped back to normal.

Lu Qi, however, collapsed halfway through the run, and blood seeped from his mouth.

"how..."

The injury I just suffered made my legs weak... (referring to the Gear Third punch Luffy delivered to him.)

Luffy returned to the ground, panting, and looked at Lucci with a smile.

"Heh! Looks like my moves are quite effective against you!"

Lu Qi had a cold expression.

Both of them were injured and exhausted.

The final battle has arrived!
