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

Sanji asked again, still incredulous, "Luffy, Bai Yun, is he really your grandfather?"

Bai Yun stated, "He is Luffy's biological grandfather."

Luffy declared, "That's right, whatever you do, don't touch him, you'll get killed!!"

“I’ve almost died at his hands several times before.”

Bai Yun nodded in affirmation of Luffy's words. He was very fortunate that when he met Garp and Luffy, he was able to fall from the sky. He was injured in the leg for a while and did not have to participate in Garp's special training of Luffy. He just cooked for the grandfather and grandson all day long.

Moreover, at that time, Garp was still a bit wary of Bai Yun, this "visitor from outer space." Although he could have crushed Bai Yun with a single finger back then, perhaps after spending more time with him, Garp learned about Bai Yun's character and felt at ease letting him play with Luffy. Or perhaps, they really needed a cook.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't put it so harshly."

"I'll push you off a cliff into a deep valley, throw you into a forest in the dead of night, tie you to a balloon and lift you high into the sky..."

"It's all so that you can be trained to become a strong person!"

"If Bai Yun hadn't been so weak as a child, I'm afraid I would have killed him, and I wouldn't have escaped with anything!"

Bai Yun said, "I thank you, sir, for sparing my life."

Hearing Garp's words, everyone felt scared just listening to them. Sanji remarked, "Now I finally understand why Luffy's vitality is so strong."

"Finally, I've entrusted you and Estoril to my friend for special training..."

"And after not seeing you for a few years, you've all turned out like this..."

"I want to train you into powerful naval soldiers!!"

It came from Garp's disappointment and frustration.

Luffy immediately retorted, "Haven't I always said I wanted to be a pirate?!"

At this time, Bai Yun would transform into a sleek, robot-like figure, raising and lowering his hands repeatedly, "I support Luffy! Luffy will become the Pirate King!!"

Garp was furious, "You two have been bewitched by that [Red-Haired] brat!!!"

Whenever Garp mentions Shanks and the others, Bai Yun is always glad that he told Garp about becoming Beckman's apprentice, otherwise Garp's punches might have been a bit heavier.

"Especially you! Bai Yun! I heard from Huoshaoshan that you have a close relationship with Beckman?! You know his marksmanship?! Did he teach you?!!"

Luffy immediately retorted to Garp, "Shanks... Shanks saved my life! You're not allowed to speak ill of him!!"

Bai Yun maintained his feigned ignorance, "What? What do you mean by a close relationship? I just know you..."

As he spoke, Bai Yun recalled Beckman's appearance and sighed. He still felt a sense of kinship with his master.

Bai Yun walked behind Luffy and said, "He is my master."

Garp could tell from Bai Yun's serious expression that he wasn't joking.

"You two brats..."

"How rebellious!!"

Garp instantly appeared, grabbed Luffy's clothes, and lifted him up.

With Luffy blocking his way, Bai Yun sped away through the window at top speed.

Haku could only say that he was powerless to help Luffy, and that Luffy should suffer in his brother's place.

"Bai Yun, don't abandon me!!"

"Where did that kid go? He's gotten faster these past few days."

"Fine, he's not here! You'll take his place in my teaching, Luffy!!"

Garp's fist seemed to explode with energy.

Luffy immediately begged for mercy, "Oh dear, I was wrong!!"

Sanji, Nami, and Chopper couldn't help but worry about Luffy.

"I have absolutely no resistance to my grandfather."

"Luffy!"

"Oh no! Luffy has been captured by the Marines!!"

Then, the next second, their heads tilted back and they both fell asleep with bubbles coming out of their noses.

"Snoring..."

"Snoring..."

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, "Asleep?!?"

Frankie was puzzled.

"This is how to do?"

"This is the first time I've encountered something like this."

However, the blister on Garp's nose popped soon after, and he woke up.

"Ah, no, no, I'm asleep."

Seeing that Luffy was also asleep, Garp raised his fist and delivered several punches of his "Iron Fist of Love".

"Get up! Luffy, is this how you respond when you're being scolded?"

"Ouch!"

"How dare you talk to Grandpa like that?!"

"Ouch!!"

Seeing this scene, everyone could only think that there was really no way to deal with this grandfather and grandson. As for the captain being beaten, the crew watched, after all, it was a grandfather disciplining his grandson, so they couldn't say anything.

.........

Garp delivered a powerful punch, leaving Luffy with five bumps on his head: a large bump on top of a medium bump, and a medium bump on top of a small bump.

After all that, Garp calmed down.

Usopp and Yokooka, who had sneaked in from outside, were peeking through the window. They had greeted Bai Yun when he went out earlier.

Usopp thought to himself, "Luffy and Haku's grandfather is actually a Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters. This is terrible."

However, it is clear that his worries are unnecessary. Garp would not personally capture Luffy and Hakuyun unless it was a certain death situation, in which case his intervention would actually save Luffy and Hakuyun.

"Besides, do you even know what kind of pirate Shanks is?"

Popular science after the lesson of Karp.

"What happened to Shanks and the others? Are they alright? Where are they?"

This is what Luffy cares about.

Garp is angry? Is your focus the right way to be?

"This is no longer a question of whether it's good or bad."

"Over the years, that red-haired kid has completely matured."

"Among the countless pirates... he is already on par with Whitebeard!"

"They are one of the world's four great pirates. In the latter half of the Grand Line, they reign supreme like emperors, and are known as the 'Four Emperors'!"

"Only the Marine Headquarters and the Seven Warlords of the Sea can restrain these four people. Once the balance of power among these three forces is broken, the entire world will face collapse!"

Garp's serious statement was probably meant to scare Luffy.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea cannot be involved with the Four Emperors, as all Four Emperors wield considerable power.

One Shichibukai is not enough to deal with one Yonko, and the strength of the Shichibukai varies greatly.

After Garp said all that, Luffy took off his straw hat and said, "I don't know anything about these things. As long as they're doing well, that's all that matters. I miss them so much."

Then Luffy got punched again.

Robin, unaware of Luffy and Bai Yun's connection to the Red-Haired Pirates, quietly inquired of Nami.

"Do Luffy and Bai Yun have any connection with that Shanks?"

“I heard Luffy and Bai Yun say that Luffy’s straw hat was given to him by Shanks, and Bai Yun just said that he is the apprentice of the guy named Beckman on Shanks’ ship.”

"However, I didn't know that Shanks and his gang were that powerful."

Robin was silent.

She has a relationship with the Red-Haired Pirates, they're master and apprentice, and her grandfather is a Marine hero—that's a huge advantage!

However, what Robin didn't know was that the buff wasn't finished yet.

Chapter 541 Free?

Meanwhile, Garp continues his loving relationship with Luffy and his grandson, while Bai Yun, who has slipped away, is actually going to find Zoro. He doesn't need to guess to know that Zoro is lost. Since he himself slipped away to escape Garp's iron fist, he might as well go and find Zoro along the way.

"Not bad, not bad. Although it took a hit, it replicated the physique of old man Garp. This is a trump card for survival."

"The next adventure... Ace should arrive tomorrow. If the Marineford War is over, there's nothing that requires using our trump cards."

"However, with everyone's current strength, facing the new world is indeed a challenge. What should we do...?"

"Never mind, let me contact Ace first."

Bai Yun and the main body share consciousness, but since they are in two different places, if they share consciousness all the time, their minds will become chaotic. Therefore, they are usually disconnected. When they need to contact each other, they establish a consciousness link. In that instant, the main body will absorb the memories that the clone has experienced in the past few days.

"Yes...this way, Mr. Zoro!"

Zoro encountered two swindlers while searching for the way. After beating them up, the two obediently led the way. However, even with someone to guide him, Zoro would sometimes take the wrong turn, which confused the two swindlers. As a result, Garp and the others had arrived for some time, but Zoro was still not there.

"That's... Bai Yun."

On his way back, Zoro happened to run into Bai Yun, who had come looking for him.

"Alright, we don't need you to lead the way."

Zoro immediately abandoned the two liars.

"I'm sorry!"

"I never thought I'd be scamming you."

The citizens of Water Seven have all heard of the Straw Hat crew who saved the mayor and hold them in high esteem, but not everyone knows what they look like. After learning that it was Zoro, the two con artists, despite being thoroughly beaten, still took the initiative to apologize to Zoro.

As Zoro ran towards Bai Yun, he replied, "Ah, it's nothing, don't worry about it. Thank you for showing me the way, see you later."
