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

"It would be best if we could walk, but it looks like it will be difficult."

"Hold on until I get there."

Ace nodded, "Okay!"

........

"Damn!!"

Upon reaching the shores of the City of Seven Waters, Bai Yun discovered the problem.

That direction leads to Crystal Island of Destiny!?

Even if you could take the sea train to the food town next to Crystal Isle, you still wouldn't know where Crystal Isle is without a log pointer! Besides, the sea train is far too slow compared to flying!

........

"It's back to normal!"

"Seeing the captain in pain like a tortured prisoner, yet you didn't utter a sound, you really are... a tough guy."

Lafitte, Doc Q, and Burgess ganged up on Ai Baiyun.

Blackbeard and Ace continued their one-on-one duel.

Oka provides remote assistance, and which side he assists depends entirely on his mood.

The 15-minute duration of the Dark Fruit's effect has ended. If the time runs out, it will be even more difficult to deal with these three people. I'm afraid I'll have to resort to other methods.

Moreover, at this time, Ai Baiyun received another message from the main body saying that the exact location of Crystal Island could not be determined.

Is this truly a dead end?!

Ai Baiyun watched Ace fight Blackbeard.

Is Ace's fate truly so unchangeable?

In the instant despair welled up in his heart, Ai Baiyun caught a glimpse of something, and suddenly, a plan popped into his mind—the only feasible plan!

"Torture to Death!!"

Lafitte lunged forward with a thrust, but without finding Ai Baiyun, he didn't dodge at all. His longsword pierced through Baiyun, and the double pain nearly made Ai Baiyun lose consciousness.

Lafitte never expected Ai Baiyun to be so tough!

Ai Baiyun, of course, was not going to take the blow for nothing, so he clenched his fist and punched Lafitte in the abdomen.

"Fishman Karate - Karakusa Tile Fist!"

With his rudimentary mastery of fishman karate and the power of his clone, this punch didn't deal much damage to Lafitte. So, Ai Baiyun threw a punch and quickly transformed his fist into a hand chop.

"Hegemony!!"

After two attacks, Lafitte finally broke through his defenses and retreated backward with his sword still attached.

Although it was pulled out instantly, the pain didn't disappear immediately.

But Ai didn't have time to deal with the pain.

He turned and ran towards Ace.

Doc Q throws a bomb apple, but Ai Bai intercepts it in mid-air with his gun.

How can you tell which one is the bomb apple?

Why not just do it all?

Burgess blocked his way and charged in with an elbow strike.

Seeing this, Ai Baiyun took a step and leaped up, using Bages' elbow as a stepping stone to somersault around him.

"Ace!!"

Ai Baiyun shouted loudly to attract Ace's attention.

Ace didn't know what Ai Baiyun was up to, but since Ai Baiyun was coming, he figured he should just meet up with him.

The two met up, and just as Ace was about to speak, he saw Ai Baiyun grab the Emerald Heart around his neck and pull his hand down to press it onto the Emerald Heart as well.

A burst of green light erupted in an instant!

Blackbeard and his crew didn't know what was happening, but the green light was so bright they couldn't open their eyes.

When the green light faded, Blackbeard and his crew looked at Ace and Ace, but nothing had changed.

But then Ace said, "Fate can be changed!!"

Chapter 547 As long as he doesn't die, that's fine.

The Emerald Heart bursts with green light, and Ace and Aibai's souls are swapped.

Therefore, after thinking of this method of swapping souls, Bai Yun, the original body of Water Seven, prepared to return to the house, since he couldn't leave his body outside.

However, the transformation begins halfway through, and only after being pulled by the soul will one stand dumbly by the roadside, because the soul transformation of the Emerald Heart is a whole soul, and it is impossible for it to be just a fragment of consciousness.

Since his soul is intact, he will be called Bai Yun instead of Ai Bai Yun.

Bai Yun and Ace swap bodies.

Therefore, Ace is now Baiyun, and Baiyun is Ace.

To distinguish it, the name refers to the soul.

........

"Fate can be changed!!"

Bai Yun clenched his fist and muttered to himself.

Just as Ace was about to speak, Bai Yun punched him directly, his own body making the blow feel surprisingly natural.

"Uh..."

"Hahaha, what's wrong? You two good brothers are fighting amongst yourselves!"

Blackbeard was curious about what had caused the green light burst earlier, but seeing the two suddenly fighting amongst themselves made him even happier.

Ace was puzzled. What was Bai Yun trying to do by switching souls with him? And now... he wasn't allowed to speak?

Bai Yun took the Emerald Heart down, placed it in Ace's hand, and said...

"Come find me in Water Seven, we can discuss the rest later!"

"Walk!!"

Abilities transform with the soul, so the White Luck currently inside Ace's body is the original White Luck, who can freely use the Replica Fruit's abilities.

But it's daytime now, and we don't have any powerful trump cards left, except for the physique of Garp that was just replicated. Just in case, and to avoid being exposed, Bai Yun decided to let Ace go first!

Ace listened to the advice and left immediately, but in Blackbeard's eyes, it was a lucky escape.

"Yan Shangzhang!"

With the Replicate Fruit at his disposal, Bai Yun could easily replicate Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit.

Once Ace had run past, Bai Yun unleashed a massive wave of flames, creating a huge wall of fire to isolate Blackbeard and his crew. Of course, they could also force their way through, as long as they weren't afraid of getting burned.

"Hahaha, you've been abandoned by your brothers, Captain Ace!"

"Or did he go to get reinforcements? Is the captain really that confident he can hold out until then?!"

The five members of the Blackbeard Pirates slowly formed a circle around Bai Yun.

"I'm the one who should say that, Blackbeard."

"Are you so confident you can beat me?!"

"This is a grudge between our Whitebeard Pirates, and has nothing to do with Bai Yun!"

"We both want to catch each other! Let's see how capable we are!"

After saying that, Bai Yun used Garp's physique to replicate the attack and took the initiative to attack. However, it was daytime, and the replication effect only lasted for 30 minutes!

........

"White Luck..."

As Ace ran, he looked at his hand, which was, of course, Bai Yun's hand.

"Bai Yun...you have such delicate hands."

"No! What are you thinking?!"

"He's taking on Blackbeard and his crew all by himself, but... he's using my body? What does this mean? Oh dear! This is all messed up! Let's get to Water 7 first!"

Although Ace didn't understand Bai Yun's thoughts, he had lived with him since childhood and trusted Bai Yun's judgment and actions. Besides, now that he had run away, he couldn't possibly run back!

........

Back to Water Seven.

Zoro had just seen Bai Yun and was planning to have him take him back. Surely Bai Yun wouldn't get lost?

But when Zoro reached Bai Yun, Bai Yun collapsed like a statue. Zoro immediately caught him, not knowing what was going on. No matter how Zoro called out to him, Bai Yun did not respond.

Left with no other option, Zoro picked up Haku and called back the two con artists to lead the way back to the Pirate House.

........

"Ok?"

"Someone's come in from outside."

"You're... um? What happened to Bai Yun?"

When Garp saw Zoro return, he initially wanted Koby and Helmeppo to stop him, but upon seeing Zoro carrying Bai Yun, he immediately changed his mind.

"Yeah, what happened to Bai Yun?!"

"Why did the long-haired guy faint?!"

When Koby and Helmeppo saw Bai Yun faint, they were quite worried, as they were old acquaintances.

Zoro asked, puzzled, "Who are you guys?"

Ignoring them, he led Bai Yun into the room and walked through the hole that Kapu had dug.

When everyone saw that Bai Yun had fainted, they all gathered around him.
