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

The moment the shoes touched the deck, bullets from the ship's soldiers came flying.

Forest Mask Bai Yun remained calm and composed, raising his hand with his palm facing forward. A black hole appeared from his palm, expanding instantly. Bullets that hit the black hole disappeared without a trace, like mud oxen sinking into the sea.

"What?! What kind of ability is this!?"

The soldiers were astonished.

Forest Mask Bai Yun did not answer. Black smoke billowed from his body as he placed his hand on the deck. Darkness spread across the entire deck, and the soldiers sank slowly into the darkness as if trapped in a swamp.

"What's this?!!"

"No!!"

"Help!!!"

The wailing was useless; in no time, Forest Mask Bai Yun had cleared out the naval soldiers from the escort ship.

Franky and Robin arrived shortly afterward and, seeing the clean, white deck, thought they were seeing things.

"My god, masked long-haired man, what's that dark power of yours?!"

"What a terrifying feeling."

"However, if a friend masters it, then it's super powerful!"

Robin knew this was the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, after all, Blackbeard had betrayed her when she was still under Crocodile's command. As the chief intelligence officer of Baroque Works, Robin quickly learned about the incident of Blackbeard joining the Whitebeard Pirates.

Because Crocodile is very concerned about the Whitebeard Pirates.

"I don't really like this ability, although it is indeed very useful, especially for clearing out minions."

Forest Mask Bai Yun replied, then pointed to the left side of the warship. Black smoke shot out from his hand and formed a black vortex floating in the air on the left side of the warship. In the vortex, the navy soldiers who had been swallowed by darkness were being thrown into the sea one by one like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, with howls rising and falling.

"You can still release him? What would happen if you didn't, masked long-haired man?"

Franky asked curiously.

"It won't be long before it's crushed into mincemeat, just like the crushers you use to process wrecked ships."

Forest Mask Bai Yun calmly stated such a terrifying thing. Indeed, after entering the dark space, one would feel the heavens and earth merging and compressing oneself. If one's strength is sufficient, one can endure it; if one's strength is insufficient, one will be crushed to death. If one's strength is sufficient, one may be able to shatter the dark space directly or not enter it at all.

"Uh...that's really scary!!"

"It's good that you're my teammate."

"Alright, you've cleaned it up. Now all we have to do is wait for Straw Hat Boy and the others to arrive."

"Frankie said."

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than he heard a rapid sound of water.

Not only him, but Forest Mask Hakuun and Robin also heard it.

Forest Mask Bai Yun knew what it was, but Franky didn't. He walked to the side of the boat, about to stick his head out to look down.

"I won't let you die!!!"

"Whoa!!!"

Grandma Kokoro suddenly leaped up, giving Franky a visual shock from the front.

Even though Forest Mask Bai Yun was prepared, the impact was still huge.

Imagine what Granny Kokoro looks like, then transform her into a mermaid—good heavens, this isn't a mermaid, it's a deep-sea alien!!

Of course, this was just what I thought. Grandma Kokoro saved everyone, so no matter what she looked like, she was everyone's savior.

........

"Pfft! Pfft!!"

"Okay, you've vomited up some water. It seems you suffered a great shock and were in a coma, so you didn't drink much water."

"Chopper's injury is a bit serious, and he's still wet. We'll have to wait for the water to dry before we can treat the wound."

"Overall, everyone is fine and won't die."

Since Chopper was one of the injured, only Forest Mask Haku could diagnose him.

"Hmm, that's great!"

"But what caused them to fall into a coma?"

Grandma Kokoro asked doubtfully, and Franky, who had just been hit at close range, replied, "It was you!"

Grandma Kokoro pretended not to hear and looked at Robin while putting on her clothes.

"The friend that kid is coming to rescue is you."

“We’ve seen it on the mobile sea vehicle, I remember.”

"I really didn't expect that at the time."

"You guys are capable of doing something this big!"

"But I never expected him to say he wanted to be the Pirate King. That cracked me up."

"But now it seems that it might actually work, hehehehe."

Robin smiled back.

"The future is uncertain, anything can happen, Grandma Kokoro, just like Mr. Tom didn't know Roger would become a pirate crew."

Forest Mask White Returns.

Franky retorted, "Get dressed first, old woman!!!"

"Cough cough!!!"

"Uh..."

"Miss Nami... are you alright...?"

Usopp, Zoro, and Sanji were the first to regain consciousness.

Franky remarked, "You guys are really tough."

"Not bad, not bad, they're all still alive."

Grandma Kokoro was pleased, but as soon as she spoke, the three of them turned to look and were so frightened that their eyes bulged out and their tongues slithered like snakes.

"Wow!!! Back to reality!! Mermaids really don't exist!!"

"The rumor that it looks like a mermaid but is actually a dugong is indeed true."

"Shut up! She never said she was a mermaid. Don't give up on your dreams so easily!!"

Sanji refused to believe that the beautiful mermaids in the paintings and legends did not exist, or that if they did, they were like Granny Kokoro.

"I am the white mermaid of Fishman Island."

However, Grandma Kokoro replied with absolute certainty.

"Don't say it!!!"

"I object. Mermaids should be more... should be more..."

Sanji pounded on the deck, unwilling to accept the truth.

Usopp calmed down a bit and asked, "I've never seen a merman with legs before."

"After mermaids turn 30, their tail fins fork and turn into legs, allowing them to adapt to life on land. They are a very mysterious race."

"You'll understand when you have the chance to go to Fishman Island."

Grandma Kokoro replied.

Usopp seemed to understand, but not quite.

"Really? It's said that when a cat lives for 100 years, its tail splits into two, and it transforms into a [monster]."

Upon hearing this, Sanji jumped to his feet. "Oh, you're a [cat demon]..."

Grandma Kokoro is angry. Are you being polite?

"Don't compare me to it!!! Can't you say thank you?"

"Grandma Kokoro, thank you."

People listen to advice and express their gratitude. If someone saves your life and you blame them or try to extort money from them, are you even human?

"Hehehe, you're welcome."

Asking someone to thank you, and then saying "you're welcome," what is this? This is social etiquette.

Then everyone woke up. Sanji wanted to pounce on Robin and give her a hug, but Nami and Chopper knocked him away.

Nami and Chopper hugged Robin and clung to her, signifying that she was finally back.

Zoro isn't very good at expressing his emotions (he's a bit of a tsundere), he just exchanged glances with Robin and then looked ahead.

Chopper suddenly fell off Robin, but Forest Mask Hakuun caught him.

"I...I feel like I can't move."

"It's normal, you'll be fine after resting."

Forest Mask White said that Chopper was already too exhausted to move, and his ability to run over and hug Robin was purely driven by emotion.

Chapter 526 Six Kings Spear

As time went by, everyone except Luffy and his main body, Bai Yun, boarded the escort ship—or rather, the escape ship.

It may seem like the end, but the real storm is just beginning.
