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

"Big Brother Nami!!"

"We've arrived at the sea restaurant!!"

Johnny and Yossa's shouts drew everyone's attention, with Nami quipping, "How did I become the boss?!"

People looked up, looked down, or turned their heads to look, and what came into view was a huge fish-shaped ship - the floating restaurant [BARATIE].

Fate's arrangement.

At that moment, a naval warship passed in front of the USS Merry.

It is the warship of Lieutenant Commander "Iron Fist" Hepburn of the Navy Headquarters.

Bai Yun thought that this title was probably something he called himself; having a brass knuckles on his hand made him an iron fist.

Then he's holding a silver staff, isn't that silver... never mind.

He was still a captain at Navy Headquarters, or perhaps Garp simply wasn't in the mood to deal with such trivial matters.

This guy might also be thinking that it would be good to ride on Garp's fame, since Garp is now a genuine naval hero.

.......

Even on leave, Hepburn still couldn't resist firing shells at the Merry.

However, Luffy perfectly bounced him onto the roof of Zeff's room, who used to be a pirate and is now the owner of a sea restaurant.

"Where are you going to bounce it?! You bastard!!"

Zoro shouted in surprise and anger.

Luffy fell backward in guilt.

A group of people wearing chef's hats poured out of the restaurant and looked at the Merry and the warship.

He decisively shouted to the people on the Merry.

"Damn it! Which of you fired the shot?"

Seeing this, Hebodi smugly stepped off the ship and entered the restaurant.

Although it wasn't Bai Yun and his crew who fired the cannon, it was definitely Luffy who launched the cannonball into the restaurant.

Bai Yun bent down, grabbed Luffy by the back of his collar, and lifted him up like he was lifting Xiu Cat.

They then disembarked and walked to the restaurant entrance, with Zoro and the others following closely behind.

"It's him."

Bai Yun handed Luffy directly to the group of chefs. The leader was stunned for a moment, then took Luffy out and couldn't help but ask.

"You don't know him?"

"I know him, he's our captain."

Bai Yun replied nonchalantly, and then entered the restaurant with the others.

The chefs were left standing there, bewildered in the wind.

........

Luffy was taken away.

When Bai Yun and the others entered the restaurant, they saw Sanji grabbing the neck of Captain Hepburn, whose face was covered in blood.

When asked if he also remembered... he replied, "No."

It was to tell him that going against the cook at sea was tantamount to suicide.

Also, don't waste food!

........

Seeing the bastard get beaten up, Bai Yun felt a sense of relief and walked over.

"Oh my, isn't this the naval captain from earlier?"

"Why did you pour ketchup on your head?"

"Eating so fast?"

Hebodi lay on the ground, gritting his teeth as he listened to Bai Yun's mockery.

"and who are you?"

Sanji asked, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

"I am God."

"......"

"What? Didn't you say the customer is king?"

"We're here to eat."

Bai Yun pointed with his thumb to Zoro and the others who were already sitting at a table behind him.

Sanji looked over.

Green algae head, long nose, beautiful woman... beautiful woman!

"Haha, beautiful lady, what would you like to eat?"

Chapter 73 The Gears of Destiny

The moment Sanji saw Nami, he spun around and went to her side, bowing very gentlemanly.

"Beautiful lady, what would you like to eat?"

Zoro had been resting with his eyes closed, but after opening one eye to glance at the curly-browed man, he closed it again.

Bai Yun swiftly moved to the remaining seat, creating a gust of wind; his speed even slightly surprised Sanji.

Do you have any steamed mutton fat?

The dish that Sanji didn't know about was the one that was exported by Baiyun.

What kind of dish is this?

"Then steamed bear paw?"

"You can steam bear paws?"

"They dare to open a shop even though they have nothing."

Bai Yun made a sarcastic remark, which could be considered Sanji's "revenge" for ignoring him.

Sanji secretly thought to himself, "Good lad, I hope the dish you mentioned exists."

"Customer! This is a Western restaurant."

"Oh, then five steaks, a bottle of red wine, a bottle of white wine, and a pitcher of iced orange juice."

Bai Yun replied with a smile, and then ordered some food for Zoro and the others. They didn't object, but Nami seemed a little distracted. She didn't respond when Sanji greeted her earlier.

"Okay, customer."

Sanji is a very competent cook. If he were to board the ship now, he would reply to Bai Yun, "You idiot, can't you cook for yourself? You're keeping me from watching Nami, and then you'd go cook."

But now he's at a seaside restaurant, which is his job, and he won't let anything else interfere with his work.

So when I turned back, I pretended that the naval captain who wasted food didn't exist.

Seeing that Nami was distracted, Bai Yun realized she couldn't eat.

"Hey, who dropped 10,000 Berries under the table?!"

(Because in the manga, Luffy and his crew exchanged the gold they got on Skypiea for 300 million Berries, and it only filled two suitcases, so what I'm writing here is roughly equivalent to the face value of Japanese Yen.)

"Where! There!?"

Like a switch, as soon as Bai Yun spoke, Nami immediately looked down to check, but there was nothing there. It took her two seconds to realize what had happened.

"You bastard, Bai Yun, you lied to me!!"

"Hehe, who told you to be so distracted! What are you doing, Nami?"

Bai Yun returned home.

Nami thought to herself, "Don't you know what I'm thinking? You jerk!"

"Yeah, what are you thinking about, Nami? This isn't like you at all," Usopp pressed.

"Are you worried about something?"

Zoro opened his eyes and joined the group of concerned people.

"No, no, what could I possibly have on my mind? I'm just mentally preparing myself for entering the Grand Line."

Nami's answer is quite believable, if Bai Yun doesn't know about Arlong's situation.

Zoro simply nodded and closed his eyes again.

Usopp affirmed, "Yes, according to legend, the Grand Line is even more dangerous than the East Blue, and it's known as the graveyard of pirates. We should be prepared."

........

While Bai Yun and the others were chatting, Sanji had just walked up to Hepburn when the chef, Paddy, came out of the restroom.

Seeing Hepburnt slumped at Sanji's feet, his face covered in blood, made his eyes bulge in horror.

He immediately scolded Sanji, saying that he shouldn't hit a customer, because the restaurant exists because of customers.

Sanji replied that people who waste food like that don't deserve to be called customers.

Hebodi, seeing the two arguing, also realized what was happening.

"What kind of restaurant is this?!"

"No... this restaurant that beats up customers should not be allowed to exist. I... I'm coming right away to contact the government to destroy this place."

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because Sanji got angry again as soon as he said that.

However, before his foot could even reach Hepburn, Luffy and Zeff fell off the roof.

After learning what had happened, Zeff kicked Sanji in the face, then kicked Hepburn, sending him flying.

Luffy noticed Bai Yun and the others and quickly waved to greet them, but only Bai Yun and Usopp responded to him.
