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

Bai Yun chimed in cheekily, "Brother is so amazing! (～￣▽￣)"

Zoro: "(?_?)"

"Isn't it obvious at a glance!"

"And Bai Yun, stop pretending!!"

"There's no pretense, it's just admiration, okay?" Bai Yun replied. "There's no pretense, this is genuine."

"Okay, come in quickly."

Nami was speechless. Seriously, these guys.

.......

Before everyone could even descend the stairs, Bai Yun and Zoro immediately shouted.

"Get down!"

"roar!!!"

A blue sound wave shattered the wooden house, becoming the last gust of wind to extinguish the candle flame.

A foot appeared, and Iwazo protected Tobio. Looking up, he saw the Golden Dragon and the others.

"Damn it!! Damn Wu Nan's men and daughter!"

"How dare you lie to me!"

"The real gold is here, right?!"

"Mine! This gold can only be mine!!"

Golden Dragon shouted fiercely.

"And who are you, old man! What's that thing on your head?!"

Golden Dragon kicked Iwazo, who fell backward, and the oden on his head fell to the ground.

Tobio opened his eyes slightly, stood up, and punched the golden dragon's knee.

"This is the best oden in the world that Grandpa cooked for Wu Nan. Grandpa went through so much trouble to bring it up. This is Grandpa's 'gold'! You bastard! Unforgivable!!"

Golden Dragon grinned maliciously, kicked Tobio away, and stomped on the oden at his feet.

"Kid! What do you mean this junk can be called gold?! Don't be ridiculous!!"

Iwazo watched helplessly as his oden was trampled underfoot.

He was powerless, but Luffy was!

A rubber gun shot hit the golden dragon in the face, causing him to stagger backward.

With a gloomy face, Luffy walked to the oden on the ground, squatted down, picked it up, and ate it.

"As expected, Uncle, your oden is really delicious. It's no wonder it's the best in the world."

Iwazo and Tobio looked surprised and didn't know what to say.

Meanwhile, Bai Yun, Zoro, Nami, and Usopp smiled.

"I don't have money, so I'll pay you back by beating this bastard up for you."

Standing up, Luffy adjusted his straw hat, the brim obscuring one eye, while the other eye glared at the golden dragon.

The golden dragon scoffed, "Golas, kill him! I'll give you 10 gold coins!!"

Golas hesitated for a moment, glancing at Bai Yun, but knowing that money could buy anything, he grabbed his large cleaver and charged at Luffy.

Luffy remained unmoved, but Zoro instantly appeared in front of him, blocking Golas with his twin swords.

"Since you're a swordsman, then let's have a match."

Luffy smiled, grabbed the Golden Dragon with both hands, flew over, and fired a Gum-Gum Machine Gun shot, engaging the Golden Dragon in combat.

"kill!!"

"Grab the gold."

Meanwhile, his henchmen raised their weapons, ready to fight for the gold.

Bai Yun dodged and placed his hands on the necks of the blond-haired man and another passerby, the gong and stick in his hands clearly visible.

"You bunch of misfits, just stay put."

Remembering how Bai Yun struck the gong and emitted blue sound waves, these passersby broke out in a cold sweat, too afraid to move, and could only obediently nod.

Chapter 69 Something More Precious Than Gold

Just as Luffy and his crew discovered the basement, the Golden Dragon gang reappeared, seemingly out of nowhere.

They can't leave satisfied without getting a beating.

.......

Zoro faces off against Golas.

Luffy faces off against the Golden Dragon.

Bai Yun then used a gong to intimidate Huang Jinlong's other useless underlings.

Enraged that his sword had been blocked, Golas roared and forcefully slammed Zoro onto a boulder.

The child is stupid, but he is strong.

Zoro slammed his back against the boulder, gritting his teeth as he exclaimed, "That's some serious strength!"

Despite this, Zoro showed no sign of panic; instead, he smiled.

"It's really sad."

“I see shame in your eyes, shame for drawing your sword for money.”

Focus on the heart.

As soon as Zoro spoke, Goras's eyes changed noticeably; it was that instantaneous opening that revealed his weakness.

Instant kill!

Zoro appeared behind Goras in an instant, and blood splattered from Goras's chest along with bits of clothing.

Zoro sheathed his sword with a flourish, the two sharp clicks sounding perfectly smooth and without any hesitation.

"Come and challenge me again when you have truly grasped the glory of a swordsman."

As he spoke, Zoro, carrying Golas on his back, never looked back, a true man never does.

Over there, Bai Yun cheered and encouraged Zoro.

"Wuhu~"

"Awesome~ Zoro!!"

"Brother, kill me!!!"

Zoro rolled his eyes at him and didn't help Luffy, because he knew Luffy didn't need it.

.......

Aside from the Sound Wave Fruit, the Golden Dragon doesn't have much else to offer, except for being a bit too fleshy. Of course it's fleshy when it's wearing golden armor.

"The gold is mine!"

The golden dragon opened its mouth and spat out a sonic blast, but Luffy didn't dodge. Instead, he took the hit head-on with his body. However, he grabbed a rock with one arm, and the force of the sonic blast pushed him away. He then bounced back and hit the golden dragon.

"Rubber Rocket!"

It slammed the golden dragon directly into a boulder, creating a human-shaped rock.

Luffy continued his attack, firing a Gum-Gum Pistol at the Golden Dragon's face, but the dragon was bitten instead.

Golden Dragon followed suit, grabbing Luffy's arm and pulling back quickly to approach Luffy, then crashing into him.

"boom."

"You! You actually copied other people's moves."

Luffy accused Golden Dragon of plagiarism, but Golden Dragon ignored him and kept stabbing Luffy with his golden finger gloves.

It doesn't look like a dragon; it looks more like a standing lion.

The claws kept stabbing at Luffy, who could only dodge quickly, but he was still scratched, his clothes torn open at the abdomen, and he bled.

Losing his footing, he fell to the ground. Golden Dragon pressed his advantage, saying, "Why don't you just attack now? Stop wasting time and charge up your power."

"go to hell!!"

Luffy kicked him directly in the chin, and he sprang to his feet.

"Rubber Machine Gun!"

Luffy unleashed a rapid barrage of afterimages from his Gum-Gum Machine Gun at the Golden Dragon, followed by a Gum-Gum Whip to his right hip.

The golden armor on the golden dragon instantly disintegrated.

"The captain's golden armor has shattered!!"

The blond-haired guy and his gang were so scared they almost dropped their jaws.

The golden dragon crashed into the boulder, shattering it completely. His golden armor disintegrated, but he still bravely got up.

"Gold! It's mine!!!"

A golden aura enveloped its body, and the golden dragon opened its mouth to gather power.

Luffy inhaled and inflated into a balloon, and just as the golden dragon released its sonic waves, he reached out and grabbed its body.

"Roar!!!!"

After the sound wave ended, the Golden Dragon looked and saw that Luffy had actually blocked the sound wave with his body. As Luffy released his body, the sound wave bounced back.

This is called treating others with their own medicine.

The sound waves struck the golden dragon, and the explosion created a huge trench.

Golden Dragon flew towards Bai Yun and Huang Mao. "Oh my god!" Huang Mao and the others were so frightened that they immediately jumped back.

Bai Yun remained calm and even smiled.
