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

“Once Luffy is told about this, he will definitely go with him to save Ace.”

"To be honest, he's not strong enough. As his older brothers, we absolutely don't want to see him get hurt, or even pay the price with our lives."

"The cost of lifespan?"

Robin looked into Bai Yun's eyes.

"What did you see this time?"

Bai Yun naturally went along with what she said.

"Even if I saw it, I don't want Luffy to come with us."

“He’s going, and you, as his partners, certainly won’t abandon him, even if it’s Impel Down.”

"So, I hope you won't tell Luffy."

"I hope I can come up with a good reason tonight."

To be honest, this was the first time Robin had ever seen Bai Yun look so troubled, and it seemed like it was a rare sight.

"Okay, I won't tell."

"However, I must say on behalf of the captain and everyone else, we are partners."

"Just like you said, even if the destination is Impel Down, we will go there if you need to."

"I'm leaving now; it's already past bedtime."

Robin turned and walked back into the house. Although she walked away easily, she felt ashamed of her own powerlessness. Luffy and Bai Yun had just helped her find hope in life, but now, with her strength, she couldn't help them.

Bai Yun looked up at the moon; it really was round.

Bai Yun said, looking up at the moon.

"You're not allowed to tell Luffy, Zoro either."

Zoro paused, realizing that his attempt to sneak back had been discovered.

Zoro didn't say much, only leaving one sentence.

"Any crew member leaving the ship, whether temporarily or permanently, requires the captain's consent; that's the rule..."

“Even if he is the captain’s secretary, the captain must still obey.”

After saying that, Zoro went back into the house.

Hearing Zoro's words, Bai Yun couldn't help but smile. "Rules, huh... but I, Bai Yun, don't seem to be someone who follows rules..."

"Hey! Hey!! Where are you going? The house is over there!"

Chapter 556 is mostly awkward and useless.

The moon and the sun take turns.

The second day of the banquet arrived.

Franky, Iceberg, Barry, Biplilulu, and Deluston, five top-notch craftsmen, continue to work tirelessly on the "Dream Ship."

The newspapers about the Enies Lobby incident didn't reach Water Seven until the next day; the bounty hadn't even arrived yet.

Meanwhile, the top-tier, high-level forces received the newspapers and bounty notices on the very first day after the Enies Lobby incident.

The news agency's president still knows how to behave... well, whatever, as long as he knows how to behave.

The Franky family's old home, where they were rebuilding their house, became abuzz with excitement because of the newspaper news.

They had thought they were going to become wanted criminals and live a life on the run, but they didn't expect that the newspapers didn't even mention them.

........

Carrera Company Temporary Headquarters - Pirate House.

Everyone is having breakfast.

Of course, they also saw the newspaper and wondered why the Frankie family and the boatmen weren't in it.

Sanji guessed, looking at Luffy, "Could it be that your grandfather... gave a false report, treating them as ordinary citizens involved in the incident?"

Luffy replied firmly, "Impossible, he doesn't care about these things."

At that moment, Garp, who was returning to base, sneezed.

Robin remained silent, thinking to herself, "If it's not Garp, then only Aokiji has the qualifications. He's truly an unfathomable man."

Sanji doesn't necessarily need an answer.

"Anyway, this is a good thing. It's fine for us, but it would be really pitiful if they had to flee."

After finishing his meal, Zoro sat on the ground reading a newspaper and remarked, "However, in this way, everything is on our shoulders."

"They declared war on the World Government, which even led to the entire island being burned to the ground, and now it's all our fault."

That's a terrible thing, isn't it?

But Zoro smiled and said, "It looks like our bounties are going to go up again this time."

Chopper's eyes lit up; although his eyes were always bright, they were even brighter now.

"Oh! So I could become a wanted criminal too?!"

Sanji replied, "Of course it's possible, but the most troublesome one is me, a superstar is about to be born!"

Nami glared at Sanji. "What's there to be happy about?! You idiot!!"

This is the difference between boys and girls. Boys are concerned with the size of the bounty, while girls prefer less trouble and don't need bounties. They'd rather have the bounty money they're looking for. (This is Nami's thought.)

"Bai Yun, what do you think?"

Bai Yun, who was quietly eating breakfast, was suddenly called out by Robin, and Bai Yun had the right to suspect that Robin was doing it on purpose.

"What do I think?"

"Was there no coverage of the Frankie family?"

"Sanji is right. It's a good thing for them that they're not being reported on."

"Speaking of the Franky family, Luffy, you don't know yet, do you? Franky is helping us build a ship."

Bai Yun seemed to be changing the subject, but Robin didn't bring up any other topics.

"Hey! Is Franky helping us build a ship?!"

"That's awesome! Those guys are really good!!"

Luffy happily lifted one leg and raised both hands.

"Yes, so during the time the new ship is built, we're free to do whatever we want?"

Bai Yun then made the suggestion.

Robin and Zoro remained silent.

Others who were unaware of the Ace incident readily agreed with Bai Yun's statement.

Nami said, "Baiyun is right, so let's spend this time exploring Water Seven."

"Um... excuse me, where is the 100 million Berries here?"

Luffy was completely unaware of the danger approaching.

"Oh, it was used to buy wine and meat when we held banquets."

"You bought so much? Is this all that's left?!"

"Haha, in the end the whole town came, it was so lively, it was truly a great event..."

As Luffy was speaking, Nami's fist was already at him.

Luffy, whose head was swollen from the beating, said, "Well... anyway, we have a new ship now, so it's okay, right?"

Nami sat down and sighed, "Waaah, I was planning to buy some luxury furniture."

Robin comforted him, "Hehehe, let's go find some cheap shops."

It can only be the.

Nami stood up and distributed the remaining 100,000 Berries to everyone.

Bai Yun, Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper each receive 10,000 Berries.

She and Robin took the remaining 60,000 yuan to buy furniture.

"Huh? Nami, I want to go play too! Give me some pocket money!"

"You won't get any!!!"

Nami was furious: "You still want money!"

Bai Yun handed his portion to Luffy, saying, "Here, take mine. I'm going to... enjoy the sea breeze; I don't need any money."

Luffy didn't stand on ceremony either, "Thank you so much, Hakuyun!! You're the best."

"Let's go, Chopper, let's go get something to eat!!"

Nami and Robin went first.

Next up were Luffy and Chopper.

Zoro went to buy a sword.

Sanji went to buy groceries.

Only Bai Yun remained in the room.

Bai Yun suddenly felt a sense of loneliness for some reason. "Judging by the time... Ace should be here by now."

.......

Luffy and Chopper bought some candy to eat together, and then Luffy accompanied Chopper to buy a medical book. When Luffy tried to open a book to look at it, he immediately fell asleep.

Zoro went to buy a sword with 10,000 Berries, and the shopkeeper yelled at him, "You think you can buy a sword with this little money?! Dream on!! You're not serious at all!!"

Not everyone is like Ippon-matsu, the "knife-selling man" who owns the weapons shop in Loguetown.

Sanji bought a truckload of ingredients, unlike Zoro, and the ingredient store owner kept praising Sanji.

"Thank you for your patronage, sir. You have excellent taste."
