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

Just as Franky was about to start, Sanji said something else.

"You don't need to explain this to us. Bai Yun has already told us."

Franky stared wide-eyed at Bai Yun, who smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Ah!"

"No!! I don't care!! I'll say it again!!"

So he told the story again about Adam the Tree, the precious tree that survived the war when everything else was gone.

"Speaking of which, that wish-granting fairy was actually you, the long-haired man, in disguise, right?!"

"Wait, the price you're talking about isn't...?"

Franky suddenly had a change of heart.

Bai Yun rested his chin on one hand, his elbow on the table, smiled at Frankie, and gave a soft "uh-huh," as if to say, "Yes, that's exactly what you think."

Chapter 539 Grandpa

When Franky got there, he realized that White Fortune was truly terrifying.

He pretended to be a wishing fairy to give him money, saying there was a price to pay, and that price was the ship he built. It was as if he knew from the beginning that he would use the money to build a ship, but he never told anyone except his underlings and everyone at Tom's Workshop about his dream.

Moreover, the strangest thing is that now it's not Bai Yun coming to demand a price, but Bai Yun himself coming to deliver the ship!

........

"You're really... terrifying!"

Franky's assessment of Bai Yun after his silence.

Bai Yun said, "You'll find out later. For now, let's just say what you want to say."

"Know?"

"Alright, you're right, let's get down to business first."

"I once decided that I would never build ships again."

"But deep down, I've always had the idea of ​​catching up with the person I consider my role model."

"My dream!! It's to use the wood from this precious tree, Adam... to build a 'Dream Ship' that can cross any sea!!"

"We've got the treasure tree! And the blueprints are ready! We can start construction now!!"

"So, once it's finished, would you... be willing to ride... on this ship I've built?"

"So, just like Bai Yun said, you're going to give us the ship?"

Sanji returned.

"The timber was originally purchased with your money."

"I'm a person of my word. As the long-haired man dressed as the wishing fairy said, there's a price to pay for this money. It turns out the price is the boat."

"That suits me perfectly."

"I believe entrusting the ship to you is a super great decision!"

"On this vast ocean, the ship of Gol D. Roger, the only pirate king to reach the final island, the Al Jackson, was built from the wood of this tree. I will build you a magnificent ship!!!"

Grandma Kokoro burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Hmm, hahaha!"

"You made the same decision as Mr. Tom! You two are truly master and apprentice."

"A shipwright is a shipwright, hehehehe!!"

When Tom was mentioned, Franky's eyes were filled with respect. "That's right... now... I understand how proud Mr. Tom is of it!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone jumped for joy.

Bai Yun didn't jump, but he had a smile on his face. "The wishing fairy is very satisfied."

Sanji expressed his gratitude, "You're such a kind person! Then we won't be polite, thank you, Franky!"

Nami cheered, "Wow! We can go to the next island!"

Chopper shook Luffy, "Great! Luffy, we have a new ship!!"

Luffy: "Snoring...snoring..."

.......

While everyone was excited about the new ship, Zoro spotted the dog-headed warship at the dock.

As a former bounty hunter, he knew Garp's reputation.

Garp is coming, which is even more serious than the arrival of the Admiral!

Zoro immediately ran back to tell everyone, "Something's wrong! We have to tell them right away, Luffy is still sleeping."

However, unsurprisingly, Zoro got lost.

"Huh? Where is this?"

.......

Karp led his team to Dock No. 1, where the Carrera Company's temporary headquarters was located.

The onlookers knew that it was Garp, the "Marine Hero" who had put Pirate King Roger in danger many times, and they couldn't help but worry about Luffy and his crew.

But some people are just being deliberately obsequious: "Marine Captain! The Straw Hat crew isn't in here, they're not here!!"

Your intentions are good, but please don't say that again next time.

Inside the room, Bai Yun was drinking his post-meal red tea when he suddenly sensed an aura of dominance outside the door using his Observation Haki—Garp's aura of dominance!

He personally wanted to see Garp, after all, he was a top-tier replica template; however, he didn't really want to see his head...

"Bai Yun, where are you going?"

Chopper asked curiously.

"I'm going to..."

"boom!!!"

Before Bai Yun could finish speaking, the wall of the room exploded.

Luffy was sleeping, Zoro wasn't around, and Sanji immediately stood guard at the front. "What's going on?"

"Who?"

As the smoke cleared, Garp, wearing a dog-head hat, appeared in everyone's sight.

The old man stood with his hands in his pockets, exuding an air of dominance. "You... are the Straw Hat Pirates, aren't you?"

"Several people want to meet Monkey D. Luffy and Montenos D. White..."

Upon recognizing Garp's attire, everyone immediately became wary, exclaiming, "He's a Marine!"

However, Garp's figure flashed and he appeared in front of Luffy in an instant, so they couldn't see him at all.

"Get up, Luffy!!"

Garp closed in and punched Luffy in the forehead, a move that could be described as "a gentle wake-up call to a sleeping soul."

Luffy woke up instantly, "Ouch! That hurts!!!"

Everyone was incredulous when Luffy said it hurt. "It hurts? What are you talking about? Isn't that a fist?"

"It shouldn't work on erasers!"

"Grandpa, please have some tea."

Bai Yun brought tea to Kapu, his respectful demeanor seeming to say, "If you hit him, you can't hit me anymore."

Karp took the tea first, then said, "Bai Yun, you're still sensible, but! What's the point of drinking tea without donuts!"

As he spoke, Garp also gave Bai Yun a loving punch, one for each of them, he couldn't be biased.

Bai Yun's face turned red from looking at it. Even with his Armament Haki hardened, it was useless. He couldn't help but squat down, covering his head and muttering softly, "It hurts so much!!!"

Xiao Bai poked Bai Yun's head with its tail, seemingly mocking him, but its gaze towards Garp was also scrutinizing, concluding that it was not someone to mess with right now.

Everyone was surprised again, "What? Even Bai Yun?!"

"And Bai Yun, why are you so respectful?!"

In response, Garp said, "There's no way to defend against a fist of love."

As he spoke, Garp took off his dog-head hat. "You guys are causing quite a ruckus, aren't you! Luffy!! Byakuya!!"

Luffy was fully awake. When he saw Garp's face, his eyes were filled with panic and surprise, but also a hint of joy at seeing him again.

"Ah! Grandpa!!"

"Huh? Grandpa??"

Two identical lines, both spoken by Luffy and everyone else, were filled with surprise. However, amidst the surprise, everyone else also expressed doubt: the Marine's grandson is a pirate?

Garp smiled, wrinkles appearing at the corners of his eyes, and crossed his arms. "Luffy, Bai Yun, you two... seem to have done quite a few things that you need to apologize to me for."

“Especially you, Bai Yun, even Huoshaoshan called me.”

"Luffy, Bai Yun, your grandfather was a Marine?"

"Why does this look so familiar?"

Nami asked.

Bai Yun thought to himself, "It's normal that he looks familiar. The old man's name is Garp."

Nami knows the name Garp, or rather, very few people don't.

"Garp? Isn't that the name of that naval hero?!"

Chapter 540 The buffs are fully stacked

"Garp? Isn't that the name of that naval hero?!"

Everyone was surprised to recognize Garp, a legendary figure.

“Eh!!!”
