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

"Bai Yun is hiding many things from us."

"His strength is one of them."

"He can already see what the world's top combat forces are like."

"And we know nothing."

Robin turned and walked back, talking as he went.

"Hehehe... Yes, he has many secrets."

"We are currently unable to participate in the world's top-level combat capabilities."

"However, I believe that one day, Luffy will lead us to participate in it personally."

Chapter 563 Reasonable

"I'm quite surprised that you didn't leave."

These were Bai Yun's words to Kama. He was surprised that the kid hadn't taken the ship away when they left, after all, Bai Yun was the one who had swindled him out of hundreds of millions of Berries.

Kama sat on his sofa chair, looking arrogant. "Although I, Kama, am not a good person, I am at least a grateful person. You saved my life, but I only asked you to give me a ride. I'm not that petty."

With that, Kama picked up her wine glass, asked before drinking, "Where are you headed next?"

"Imperial City."

"puff!!!!"

Upon hearing Bai Yun's answer, Kama immediately spat out a mouthful of red wine.

"Wh...what? What did you say??"

"Where are you headed next? Impel Down?!"

"Are you all crazy?"

Both Bai Yun and Ace remained calm, Ace replied.

"To reclaim our bodies, we must go to Impel Down."

Kama was stunned. He knew that Ace and Bai Yun had swapped souls. After all, he knew about the Emerald Heart and had also taken Ace to Water Seven.

"...I think you're doing quite well in Bai Yun's body, and Bai Yun also has another body, doesn't he? Let's just leave it at that."

Ace and Bai Yunhui gave Kama a "you're so smart" smile when he said that.

Bai Yun couldn't keep his mind focused on Xiao Bai's body forever. Even if he could, it would mean that Bai Yun would lose the ability to replicate the fruit.

Ace couldn't possibly occupy Bai Yun's body forever; even if Bai Yun wanted to, he wouldn't accept it.

The main reason is that Ace's identity is special, so we have to go and save him no matter what, whether he can be saved or not is another matter.

After a moment of silence, Kama hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Bai Yun looked at him. "I know what you're going to say."

"Is it too late to send us down now?"

"Right?"

Kama didn't answer, and Bai Yun continued.

"Even if you don't tell us, we're still going down."

"Because...you know how to get to Impel Down? You have Impel Down's permanent log pointer?"

This raises another question: how do we get to Impel Down?

As pirates, Bai Yun and his crew naturally couldn't possibly have the permanent Log Pose from Impel Down, and Bai Yun didn't think Kama, being a member of the Black Hand gang, had one either.

Impel Down doesn't just hold pirates; it also holds members of the Mafia and national war criminals.

They see all things in the world as theirs, as their slaves, and the Celestial Dragons, who treat them as mere playthings, have no say in the matter.

After saying that, Bai Yun closed his eyes without waiting for Kama's reply or ignoring Ace's attempts to speak. He needed to think of a way to get to Impel Down.

The only clue he remembered about Impel Down's location was...

Impel Down is located in the Calm Belt.

Together with Enies Lobby Hall and Marineford, the location of the Navy Headquarters, they form a triangle.

There are many huge whirlpools and currents between these three places, and the Gates of Justice are located in these three places as well.

Ordinary ships cannot open the Gates of Justice and will instead get caught in the whirlpools. Only by opening the Gates of Justice and allowing seawater to flow in can ships reach these places. Therefore, this means that only naval warships can pass through the Gates of Justice to enter these three places.

This raises another question: even if they find Impel Down, how will they get in? Will they push open the Gates of Justice with their bare hands? Even if Garp came, it wouldn't be certain.

Seeing Bai Yun close his eyes in thought, Ace took back his words, "Yes, this is a problem. Bai Yun, do you have any ideas?" and didn't disturb Bai Yun.

Bai Yun chose to close his eyes and ponder, firstly because he was genuinely deep in thought, and secondly because Xiao Bai was calling to him.

.........

"How can we reasonably open the door to justice before entering it...?"

In the consciousness space, "exhibitionist" Xiaobai watched Bai Yun walk over, muttering to himself as he went. Because it was consciousness, Bai Yun looked the same as before, with his hair still black.

Within the consciousness space, the two-meter-tall Little White had a heroic face, exuding an air of authority without anger, yet with a smile that also seemed to carry a hint of doting affection.

With his flowing white hair, strange scarlet eyes, and tall, muscular physique, he's undeniably handsome.

Bai Yun wasn't sure if this was Xiao Bai's real appearance.

Bai Yun only knew that when Xiao Bai transformed into human form, he seemed to be able to change his appearance. For example, his current body had changed from a strong man who was over 2 meters tall to someone who looked almost exactly like Bai Yun except for his hair color.

"Oh my, isn't this my savior, Little White Lord~"

"Are we almost at the Earth's Core? I'm about to be scalded to death."

"It's so hot, so hot!"

Xiao Bai started their meeting with a sarcastic remark.

Bai Yun was still thinking about how to get to Impel Down and ignored him.

That makes no sense!

Xiao Bai was very unhappy about this.

A tail emerged from behind, stretched out, and wrapped around Bai Yun's waist, pulling him closer.

Bai Yun was pulled back from his thoughts by this tug.

"What are you doing, Xiaobai?"

"Don't bother me while I'm trying to figure something out."

"How heartless, Little White."

"We came out here to help me overcome the curse, why would we need to think of another way?"

Xiao Bai replied.

Bai Yun knew he was being sarcastic, but he hadn't consulted with him and had just made up stories about him.

"Can I consider it a favor I owe you?"

"I have nothing to joke around with you about right now, I really need to find a way to get to Impel Down as soon as possible."

Little White pulled its tail again, pulling Bai Yun directly in front of it. It lowered its head and stared intently at Bai Yun.

"What are you doing? Let's talk this out."

Bai Yun tried to struggle free, but its tail was tied tightly.

"You... you owe me so many favors, and you haven't paid them back yet."

Xiao Bai said with a "sorrowful" expression.

"But I haven't seen you ask for it."

Bai Yun replied, "If you want to repay a favor, then tell me what you need."

"Hehehe... I don't need anything for the time being."

"Okay, I forgive you."

Xiao Bai loosened its tail and put Bai Yun down.

Bai Yun rubbed his waist, which was sore from the tight straps, but he didn't forget to continue thinking about how to get to Impel Down.

Seeing Bai Yun's pained and thoughtful expression, Xiao Bai smiled and said, "I remember that little girl with orange hair said that Impel Down is where you pirates are imprisoned, right?"

"So, to get in reasonably, there are three types of people: the Navy, the World Government, or... pirates."

"It's perfectly reasonable for them to be arrested."

As soon as Xiao Bai said this, Bai Yun almost cursed back, but upon closer inspection, he realized she was right!

It's perfectly reasonable that he was arrested.

Of course, he couldn't be arrested as "Long Hair Bai Yun," otherwise he would be handcuffed with sea stone handcuffs.

To get in this way, it's best to disguise yourself as an ordinary pirate in an ordinary pirate crew, get captured and put in ordinary handcuffs, and then break free of the handcuffs as soon as you enter Impel Down to start the rescue.

This is the best way, because even if they disguise themselves as Marines, they cannot enter Impel Down without orders from Headquarters or the World Government. In the original timeline, Vice Admiral Momonga, who brought Empress Hancock, was stopped outside.

Having come up with a solution, Bai Yun's mood improved somewhat.

"As expected of you, thanks, Xiaobai."

Bai Yun's consciousness departed, returning to the real world.

Xiao Bai looked at the spot where Bai Yun had just been, her smile still on her face.

"Hehehe...What do I need...?"

"What if I said I needed your body, Little White..." (Don't misunderstand, don't sneer)

Chapter 564 Pirate Sisters

"You're awake, Bai Yun. Would you like some water?"

Although Ace has become more polite, he is not as considerate. If it were the previous Ace, he would not have asked Bai Yun if he wanted water, but would have drunk water in front of Bai Yun to show him.

Ace is acting this way because he implicated Bai Yun, whose soul was also captured, and it's a sign of his guilt.
