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

"It's nothing, just a hand... I'm glad you're alright."

"Waaaaah...waaaah...waaaah!!!"

Leaning against Shanks's chest, Luffy's cries echoed throughout the entire dock. While Bai Yun was moved, he still couldn't understand why Shanks had his arm bitten off.

Chapter 10 Inheritance

The experiment I mentioned earlier about v50 time.

The good news is that the experiment was a success.

The bad news is, it's moving even faster.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since the Red-Haired Pirates lasted there.

For the first half of the month, Bai Yun received "special training" from the executives of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Then they went out to sea for half a month, exactly one month. This time they came back to say goodbye.

........

"I will become the Pirate King!!"

Luffy's excited voice rang out from the dock in Windmill Village.

After a month, Shanks and his crew set sail again, and this time they would not be returning to Windmill Village. It's not that they would never come back, but at least not for a while. Their year-long trip, with Windmill Village as their base, was coming to an end.

"Heh...are you trying to surpass us?"

"So..."

"You can keep this hat for now."

"This is a hat that I cherish very much."

"Next time we meet, you must return it to me, when you've become a great pirate..."

famous scene.

Shanks took off his straw hat, half-squatted down, and placed it on Luffy's head; this is called passing on the torch.

Hidden behind his hat, little Luffy was already in tears.

On the other side, Bai Yun and Beckman, who had spent half a month as master and apprentice, quietly watched this scene.

In the two weeks after Red Hair and the others left for sea, Bai Yun's leg had recovered, but the little kid's height, standing next to Beckman, only reached his waist, making him an easy target.

Bai Yun shifted his gaze from Luffy and Shanks, looked up and met Beckman's eyes, then slowly lowered his gaze to the flintlock pistol tucked into Beckman's waist.

"What are you looking at? This is my livelihood. What are you trying to do, kid?"

Beckman blocked Bai Yun's view; you've got a good pick, kid.

Bai Yun didn't answer. He turned his head and looked at Luffy and Shanks again, then sighed softly, as if he hadn't said anything, yet also as if he had.

"You boy!"

Beckman knew, of course, that Bai Yun was targeting him.

After thinking for a moment, he took a bullet out of his pants pocket.

"I call this 'the last bullet'."

"The ocean is mysterious and interesting, but it is also full of dangers."

"If you want to be a pirate, you're bound to have enemies."

"This bullet I'm giving you."

"Either it's a one-shot kill on the enemy."

"It's either a desperate struggle in a dead end."

"Or perhaps it's to give myself a quick end to things."

“It’s very meaningful.”

By placing the bullet in Bai Yun's palm, Beckman explained the significance of having so many bullets.

Bai Yun glanced at the bullet in his hand, then looked up at Beckman.

"Thank you, master."

"But it must have been hard on you."

"You're just picking up a bullet and you're trying to come up with all this nonsense to fool me."

"......"

"You think you're so clever with words, huh!"

"At the same age, can't you be like Luffy, shedding tears and hugging my leg to express your feelings of parting?"

Beckman's complaint comes, look at others, how compassionate they are!

Bai Yun glanced at Luffy, who was saying goodbye to Shanks and started to cry as he spoke.

"We're not that dramatic."

Luffy: ? ? ?

It's not that Luffy is being dramatic. Bai Yun has the body of a 7-year-old but the soul of an 18-year-old. If he were really the same age as Luffy, he would cry too.

.......

"Weigh anchor!"

"Raise the sails!"

"set sail!"

Parting is inevitable.

Bai Yun and Luffy stood at the dock and waved goodbye to Shanks and the others.

As the boat turned, Bai Yun reached out and tossed something towards Beckman.

Beckman, with a cigarette between his fingers, quickly reached out and grabbed it with the other hand. Opening his hand, he saw a silver lighter.

Looking up at Bai Yun, the kid was smiling at him.

"Smoke less, sir."

Having spent half a month with Beckman, Bai Yun felt like he was almost completely influenced by his scent.

Beckman smiled and asked.

"Where did you get the money to buy that, kid?"

“Who said it was bought? It was stolen,” Bai Yun replied.

Beckman was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you really do look like a pirate! Hahaha!"

"We'll be waiting for you on the high seas in the future!"

"Don't blame us for laughing at you if you don't achieve something outstanding!"

Shanks was also very happy, flashing a bright white smile.

"That's right! Next time we meet, you must become an excellent pirate! Luffy, good luck!"

"We'll meet again!"

The sound echoed at the dock in the windmill village, and resonated in the hearts of the two boys.

The boat left them with its back turned, slowly sailing towards the setting sun and into the distance.

on board.

Beckman looked at the lighter in his hand, flicked the half-smoked cigarette into the sea, took out another one, and lit it with the same lighter.

For some reason, this puff of smoke felt even better.

"Look how happy you are."

Shanks said.

"Who wouldn't be happy to have a good apprentice?"

"And Luffy, I've known him for a year."

"These two lads will make something of themselves!"

Beckman looked up at the sky and replied.

"Yes."

"After all, Luffy looks exactly like me when I was a kid."

"If Bai Yun is also there to help him, then it's even more certain."

"Isn't this just a miniature version of you and me? Hahaha!"

Shanks suddenly realized that Luffy and White Luck looked a lot like him and Beckman.

Beckman turned around and quickly denied it, "I'm nothing like that 'eloquent' kid."

Even though that's what he said, he glanced at the lighter again and smiled with satisfaction.

The crew members found it amusing to see their first mate looking like that.

"Let's not talk about anything else!"

"Let's have a feast!"

Shanks raised his remaining "two" hands (「?ω?)「, announcing the start of the banquet!

The crew cheered in agreement; the Red-Haired Pirates were real party pros.

Some things are said well.

Kaido uses artificial Devil Fruits.

The old lady is creating a world of nations.
