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

Koby responded with a smile, "We're enemies...we can't get too close!"

"Luffy, do you know the name of the second half of the Grand Line?"

"Beyond the Red Line, that last sea area has been given another name by people!!"

"Call it 'New World'!!"

"The New World..."

Upon hearing the name, Luffy became interested in that place.

Koby nodded, "That's right!"

"That's the sea where the strong gather to usher in a new era! Only the one who can conquer that sea will become the Pirate King!!"

"Luffy! We'll definitely meet again there!!"

"I will become even more powerful and bring you to justice!"

"I will definitely become a...Admiral in the Navy!!!"

Koby shouted out his dream, then became shy.

"I'm...I'm sorry...I got carried away!!"

"How embarrassing!! I just want to crawl into a hole and disappear!"

"After seeing you, I felt a little giddy..."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of."

Suddenly a voice came, and Bai Yun appeared by the window, standing with Zoro.

His face was white, as were his clothes, but his hair was white!

As everyone knows, it's no surprise that Bai Yun has possessed Xiao Bai's body again. It's just that before, Xiao Bai's human form only looked somewhat like Bai Yun, but now they look exactly the same.

Bai Yun himself only just realized that Xiao Bai's human form and appearance could change at will. Xiao Bai himself said that his previous appearance was also modeled after Bai Yun, but it was an enlarged version, after all, he was more than two meters tall.

Bai Yun asked curiously, "Don't you have your own appearance?"

Xiao Bai's answer was a seemingly mysterious smile.

"Bai Yun, you're awake! Long time no see! But what about your hair?"

Koby immediately greeted him.

Bellemere followed suit, pointing to himself with both fingers with great anticipation.

Bai Yun smiled back, "Long time no see, Koby, you...you've grown up."

"And you... your butt and chin, that's you, right? Hmm, your hairstyle has changed, and you've covered your eyes, so it's definitely... easier to see. I wish your chin could change too."

Belmeber wasn't interested in anything Bai Yun said; he was only touched that Bai Yun had recognized him. "Thank you! Thank you!! Bai Yun!!"

"Let's get back to business."

"Kobby, don't be ashamed of what you said. It's good to have dreams and aspirations. What's scary is being clueless about your future."

"However, if you have a goal, you must put it into practice; just crying won't do you any good."

After Bai Yun finished speaking, Luffy also spoke.

"Yeah, Coby, you're going to fight me, aren't you? Then you'll definitely do it."

"A general?"

"When we meet again, we'll be stronger and more amazing!!"

Coby was moved to tears by Bai Yun and Luffy's words, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I thought to myself, I was just saying it casually, just talking big, why do they believe me so much?

Zoro, standing next to Bai Yun, remarked, "What's wrong? You still haven't gotten rid of your crying habit, Koby?"

Koby immediately lay down, caught off guard by such a generous gift.

"It's so good to see you all again today!"

Koby immediately stood up and threw a punch, while Helmeppo also drew his twin swords.

"Please have a friendly spar with us!"

Luffy put his hands on his hips and laughed.

Bai Yun and Zoro exchanged a glance. Bai Yun pointed out that Helmeppo was practicing with a special Gugu Sword.

Zoro thought it made sense, and then climbed out the window.

Let the sparring begin!

The sparring session is over!

As expected, it sold out instantly.

Chapter 550 A Place to Stay

A swift victory after a friendly sparring match.

Koby and Bellumaber stayed.

"We will become stronger, see you in the new world!"

"We'll surprise you then!! Just wait and see!!"

Then they left.

In response to their comments, Zoro said, "You're making enemies everywhere again, Luffy."

Luffy's answer was...

"I know Coby is very capable, hehehe."

As for Bai Yun, he just silently watched Koby and Helmeppo walk backwards, waving their hands constantly.

He doesn't have time to think about anything else right now.

His consciousness will be attached to Xiaobai.

So, the outcome of his battle against the Blackbeard Pirates alone on Crystal Island was self-evident.

Although Garp's physique was impressive at 60%, making Blackbeard scream in pain, it was only 60% of his strength and only lasted for 30 minutes. After that, White Luck wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

It's not that Bai Yun wasn't injured at all during those 30 minutes.

Fate cannot be changed.

Ace was still captured.

Fate can be changed.

Ace wasn't the only one who was captured.

What will the future hold...?

........

Behind the Carrera headquarters is the employee swimming pool.

"Miss Nami? The grilled pork belly is ready!"

How could Sanji, the chef, be absent from a poolside party?

"Delicious...wow..."

"Delicious...wow..."

"It's so delicious... the juicy meat is really tasty..."

Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp moved in unison, tilting their heads, chewing meat, and pressing their hands against their bulging cheeks.

Usopp is saying that people are something he's afraid to face right now, but meat is something he wants to eat right now.

So Zoro complained, "Sniper King, when did you arrive?!"

Sanji didn't care about those grown men. "Robin, how's it? My cooking is pretty good, right?"

"Hmm, not bad."

Robin smiled and showed her support.

I noticed that Bai Yun next to me was silent. Bai Yun usually loves to eat.

"What's wrong, Bai Yun? Is it not to your liking?"

"And, are you really alright?"

As for why he possessed Xiao Bai's body while his own body was asleep, Bai Yun explained to everyone that he was too tired this time and was weak, so this would allow his body to rest better.

Everyone believed it.

Robin just smiled and didn't say anything.

In response to Robin's question, Bai Yun replied, "I was thinking, since I'm currently using Xiao Bai's body, when I eat, should it be considered that he's eating or that I'm eating? I can feel the taste and satisfaction, can he feel that too?"

At that moment, the Franky family entered through the entrance.

"Straw Hat Boy, we heard you're awake! We've come to see you."

Although Luffy loves to eat, he also prefers a lively atmosphere at banquets, and he's definitely the one who eats the most.

"Oh!! It's the Franky family! Come and eat!!"

"Wow! It's barbecue! I love it the most!"

The entire Franky family rushed over, including the two Blue Kings.

Sanji said, "There are so many of you! We need to add some meat."

Then, the entire Carrera company arrived, including Oimo and Casey, who were temporarily helping out.

"Straw Hat Boy, you're awake!"

"It's barbecue!"

Barry, still sporting his cool and aloof look, asked, "What are you guys doing?"

Seeing Nami in her swimsuit instantly made him angry again.
