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

Bai Yun, perched atop the wall of the Carrera Corporation's backyard swimming pool in Water Seven, immediately spoke up.

Bai Yun went to the top of the wall, partly to see if Aokiji would suddenly make a move, but mainly to talk to Beckman and Shanks. He didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that it was the time when Shanks and Whitebeard were meeting.

"Please don't start fighting, you two."

A slightly youthful and spirited voice came from the Den Den Mushi's receiver.

Both Whitebeard and Shanks were drawn to it.

Beckman stepped forward, extended his hand, and positioned the Den Den Mushi between the two of them.

"Long time no see, Shanks."

"Haha, long time no see, Bai Yun. Please give my regards to Luffy."

"Ah."

"Let's get down to business, old man with the white beard."

"Ace called you 'Dad,' so is it alright if I call you that too?"

"Gurarara, since that's the case, you'll become my son too!"

This was Whitebeard's answer, unsurprisingly.

Bai Yun returned home.

“Ace invited me, and my answer was that I already had someone to support.”

At that moment, Marco handed Whitebeard the Straw Hat Pirates' latest bounty list.

"Straw Hat Luffy? A bounty of 3 million? Gurarara, he's just a newbie brat!"

"You too, you lucky kid with 291 million? You think you can cut off Teach's hand?"

Whitebeard remained somewhat skeptical about the fact that Bai Yun, a novice pirate, could cut off Blackbeard's arm. After all, he didn't know Bai Yun well, and who knew if he was lying?

Bai Yun answered this question with great confidence.

"On the day we meet, I will personally present Blackbeard's severed arm!"

Beckman's face was beaming with pride; he was practically shouting, "This is my apprentice! This is my apprentice!!"

Whitebeard was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Gurararar!! Okay! I'm waiting!"

"So, kid, you called the Den Den Mushi to ask me to recall Ace?"

"As his brother, you should understand his personality."

“I call him, and he will come back, but does he want that?”

Bai Yun fell silent.

"..."

"No, Whitebeard, I didn't ask you to recall Ace."

"Originally, I had already convinced Ace, and he was also preparing to return to the ship."

"However...we still encountered Blackbeard, and the crew he has now recruited..."

Hearing this was the time when Whitebeard's emotions fluctuated the most, though not by much.

"So, you've ended up going up against Teach after all!"

"You can talk to me, which proves you got away unscathed? Or, given your ability to cut off Teach's left hand and fly, do you... capture him?"

Bai Yun was both amused and exasperated. If that were really the case, that would be wonderful, but the reality was quite the opposite.

“I was with Ace, but I was also involved in the Enies Lobby incident, which is strange.”

"If you've read the newspaper reports about the Navy, you'll know that's my ability to create clones."

"Being with Ace is just an illusion of mine; it's not strong enough to deal with Blackbeard."

"at last..."

"What happened in the end?!"

The white-bearded man asked, his domineering aura emanating from him.

Bai Yun first explained the function of the Emerald Heart, and then said that he and Ace had swapped souls.

Therefore, what was taken away was Ace's body and Bai Yun's soul.

However, Bai Yun can place his consciousness into Xiao Bai's body, so he can also be considered to avoid being caught.

This is what Bai Yun told Whitebeard and the others, without going into detail about Xiao Bai, only saying that it was one of his abilities.

However, if Ace's body doesn't return, Ace will become a wandering ghost, and Bai Yun will be forever trapped in Bai's body.

This is even worse than Ace being captured alone.

However, Ace's soul escaped, and Bai Yun's soul can also be switched at will, so the articulation is high.

Furthermore, with Bai Yun added to the mix, then Beckman, as the mentor...

"What?! You mean if Ace's body is gone, and your soul can't return to your body within seven days, then you'll die completely?!"

Bai Yun was just talking nonsense; he didn't know what would happen if the soul left the body for seven days.

Chapter 553: Has the Heavenly Law been violated?

“This is unreasonable!!!”

Beckman's voice echoed throughout the entire Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick, and the anger within it could be clearly felt.

Because his only disciple, the disciple he admired, the disciple Bai Yun who showed no respect for his master and always spoke rudely, might die, and Blackbeard was the one who caused all of this.

"Was that the first mate's voice? He sounds really angry. What happened?"

On the Red-Haired Pirates' ship, everyone was surprised. After all, their vice-captain was a smart man who rarely showed his emotions so intensely. This was very unusual.

"Want to go over and take a look?"

Rockstar, a newcomer to the Red-Haired Pirates, asked.

Yasopp shook his head. "No need. There's no fighting yet. If we go up there without asking questions, we'll have to fight anyway. Let's see how things go."

........

"Calm down, Ben."

"Bai Yun isn't dead yet."

"However, it seems we're going to have something big planned this time."

Shanks offered some advice, but his last sentence also revealed that he was protective of his own.

Whitebeard remained silent; it was Ace's body, and it was Ace's business, so naturally he couldn't ignore it.

"So, Ace's soul is now in your body, and you're together now?"

He should arrive tomorrow.

"You're so calm, you already have a plan?"

Whitebeard had fought his whole life, and while he was worried about Ace being captured, he wouldn't lose his mind.

Hearing Whitebeard's words, Bai Yun laughed, laughing at himself. He wished he had a solution right now; his mind was a complete mess.

"I don't know. I tried my best to keep Ace away from Blackbeard, but in the end, fate brought them together."

"What should I do now? All I want to do right now is cut off Blackbeard's other limbs!"

“If he develops, he will definitely be a major hidden danger. He is someone who can lie low for more than 20 years for his ambition. He is fine as long as he doesn’t show his teeth, but once he does, he will bite others until they bleed.”

Everyone was silent.

Bai Yun's words were really not something a seventeen-year-old boy would say, and Bai Yun seemed to know Blackbeard very well.

Only Beckman replied, "That's right, kid. Cut off his limbs and use him as target practice."

"Master, if only it could be done just by talking about it, that would be great."

"Ace's body is now being taken to the Marine branch base by Blackbeard and his men."

"It's too late for you to get here."

"My plan, or rather, it's just that I think it's the best way to do it."

"Ace will definitely be taken to Impel Down."

"I'm going to storm Impel Down and save him!"

"And Whitebeard, Shanks, and Master, as members of the Four Emperors' crews, the Navy will pay close attention to you."

“The Navy will be watching your every move. I want you to act as if you don’t know that Ace has been captured, so as to mislead the Navy.”

"Just do nothing, oh, it would be best to destroy some naval divisions to attract the navy's attention."

"If you're going to attack Impel Down, then this will be a world war."

"Let me handle it. I have few reservations about pushing it into the city."

"If we still can't rescue Ace in the end."

"It seems that this world-class war is inevitable."

After Bai Yun finished explaining his plan, he fell silent.

Breaking into Impel Down, you can only say they have incredible guts!

That's a place pirates avoid like the plague; even Shiki the Golden Lion lost both his legs after coming out of there.

"Going to Impel Down alone? Are you sure, Bai Yun?"

Shanks asked.

"I'm not going alone, Shanks."

"Although Ace used my body, his Devil Fruit power is still there, and he is with me."

Bai Yun replied, "Of course I didn't go alone; Ace is still here."

"And what about you, kid? If you're handcuffed with sea stone handcuffs, won't your abilities disappear?"
