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

Chapter 11 I'm Going to Be the Pirate King

During the two weeks he spent with the Red-Haired Pirates, Bai Yun discovered a flaw in the Replica Fruit.

If a person possesses multiple abilities, such as Devil Fruit powers, physical skills, marksmanship, swordsmanship, Armament Haki, and Observation Haki (Conqueror's Haki cannot be replicated).

Therefore, if Bai Yun were to replicate something, he could only replicate one ability.

As mentioned earlier, after a re-creation, it can only be used once. Technical abilities are fine; after one re-creation, you can directly master them. However, Devil Fruit abilities are different; after the re-creation ends, you have to re-create them again to use them.

However, there is one outcome that falls outside of these two categories: physical constitution.

Even the best skills and abilities require a good physique to support them. Bai Yun was given a "weak and sickly" buff by the system, so it would take too much time for him to train on his own.

Therefore, he will probably set sail with Luffy in the future, constantly replicating Luffy's physique, using it once and then doing it again. After all, in the world of One Piece, who has a stronger physique (aura) than Luffy? He's practically an unkillable cockroach.

As for what abilities Bai Yun replicated during those two weeks of replicating the Red-Haired Pirates, that's a story for another time; it will be his capital for future adventures at sea.

.......

"I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

At Makino's hotel, Luffy stood on the central table and shouted out his ideals and wishes.

He wanted to take Bai Yun up with him, but Bai Yun refused. Why?

There was a three-second silence in the tavern, followed by bursts of laughter.

Makino looked at Luffy with doting eyes, completely unconcerned that he was standing on the table.

"Haha, little Luffy really has ambitions!"

"Hahaha, do you have that ability? Little Luffy, the sea is extremely dangerous."

"Of course, I've become a rubber man! Although I'll be a landlubber for life, it's amazing!"

"Bai Yun has also agreed to be my partner; he's really strong!"

Luffy opened his mouth with both hands, demonstrating the power of the Gum-Gum Fruit.

"Really? Then we support you! If you become the Pirate King, our village will benefit too! Hahaha!"

The villagers treated Luffy very well.

"Benefiting from the situation?"

"What's so great about being a pirate!"

"It's incredible to become a rubber man, but so what?"

"I've told you countless times I won't let you become a pirate! Luffy, don't let the town be tainted!"

"Although that captain seemed reasonable, we shouldn't associate with him anymore!"

Wearing a striped hat and striped pants, the old mayor, who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, makes his appearance, banging his cane on the ground, expressing his strong disapproval of Luffy's idea of becoming a pirate.

Luffy didn't listen at all, covering his ears and sticking out his tongue, looking like he hated being lectured.

After the mayor finished speaking, Luffy immediately replied.

"I don't care, I will definitely become the Pirate King!"

"You! Tell me! What! Do! You! Want! To! Be!?"

"Luffy!!!"

Like the voice of a demon, Luffy had clearly forgotten that today was the day Garp was returning, and Bai Yun had also forgotten that he had been studying Devil Fruit abilities these past few days.

The voice sounded like a curse, and Luffy seemed to be cursed into becoming a puppet. He turned around stiffly and saw Garp standing at the entrance of the tavern, dressed in a black suit.

"Grandpa, I..."

Luffy felt a little guilty because Garp's punches were no joke, but Luffy felt the hat on his back and for some reason, he felt confident.

"I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

Garp's forehead immediately creased with a 'well' sign. "You little brat, you're not even trying to hide it from me now, are you?"

Garp slowly walked into the tavern and stood beside Luffy. Everyone in the tavern fell silent and watched them.

Garp looked at Luffy, then quickly shifted his gaze to Bai Yun.

"Hey kid, didn't I tell you to keep an eye on Luffy? You're still letting him hang out with Shanks and his gang!"

Bai Yun felt guilty; he couldn't be happier if Luffy and Shanks were to hang out with them.

Not knowing how to answer, Bai Yun chose to play dumb, climbed onto the table and stood next to Luffy, raising Luffy's hand.

"Luffy will definitely become the Pirate King! I support him!! We will get the One Piece!"

Luffy smiled, a very happy smile. Of course he was happy to have someone supporting him.

Garp's face instantly darkened, and a grid pattern appeared on his face.

"You two brats!!!!!"

........

"Damn it! It hurts! I'm supposed to be made of rubber, so why am I still in pain?! Let me go, Grandpa!"

On the mountain road of Corpo, Karp held a little kid in each hand.

He was carrying Bai Yun in his left hand, grabbing Luffy in his right, and on his back... oh, there was nothing on his back.

Garp grabbed Luffy by half his face and lifted him up. Luffy kept hitting Garp's thigh to resist, but Bai Yun didn't dare to resist. He knew that they were going to Dadan's House next.

Garp said with a disapproving tone.

"You two brats, One Piece, One Piece!"

"They've been brainwashed by that red-haired guy!"

"Leaving you guys in that unreliable Windmill Village was a real mistake. I thought you'd be more sensible, White Boy, but I forgot you're still just a little kid!"

"I let you stay because your Devil Fruit ability is pretty good, but I didn't expect you'd been brainwashed too!"

"You, Luffy, and Ace can only become excellent Marines in the future!"

Bai Yun: Yes, yes, you're right.

Chapter 12 Ace and the Dadan Family

"Bang bang bang!"

"Come out, Dadan!"

Kap pounded on the wooden door of Dadan's family.

Three people immediately came out of the house, the one in the lead being none other than the pillar of the family, "Fist Saint" Dadan.

There were two people standing on each side of her.

A tall man with a rooster-comb hairstyle was named Magula.

The other one was small and thin, with fish-like eyes, and was called Dogura.

There were other members of Dadan's family in the house, but they were insignificant; let's just call them Passersby A, B, C, and D...

"Mr. Garp...please spare me! Ace is already ten years old, we can't control him anymore, please take him away!"

After Dadan came out, she complained before Garp could even speak, wanting him to take Ace away. Little did she know that Garp not only refused to take him, but also sent two more.

Before Garp could answer, Dadan saw Luffy and Baiyun. She's now afraid of children.

"Hey hey hey!! Who are these two kids?!"

"Hello, my name is Bai Yun, and this is Luffy."

“Luffy is Garp’s grandson, and I… am just a freeloader. If nothing unexpected happens, the two of us will probably be living with you for a while.”

Bai Yun bowed slightly. Da Dan was taken aback. He was quite a polite child, but he became uneasy after hearing what followed.

He immediately looked at Garp, who nodded, indicating that what Bai Yun said was true.

"And... plus Mr. Garp's grandson!! And another... rather polite little brat! Mr. Garp, please spare us!!"

Dadan began to beg for mercy, saying that one Ace was enough, but now there were two more, and they were trying to kill her.

Karp didn't want anyone to "live," and threatened Dadan with a smile, asking them whether they would go to jail or raise children.

Dadan immediately complained that although she didn't want to be arrested, sometimes she felt that going to jail would be more comfortable. Having one Ace was bad enough, but now there were two more!

It's really hard to believe. We had no idea how mischievous Ace was as a child, enough to make Dadan and the others act like this.

Meanwhile, Karp and Dadan were talking.

Luffy noticed Ace returning and pulled Bai Yun over to him.

Little Ace sat atop his spoils—a dead bison—carrying a bloodstained water pipe, his eyes fixed on Luffy and Bai Yun with a sinister gaze.

Upon meeting, they presented each other with a gift: two mouthfuls of saliva.

Luffy was stunned as the vomit landed on his face.

"Ugh! Drooling! So disgusting!!"

Who are you?!

Although Bai Yun wasn't a germaphobe, he didn't like having spit on his face, so he dodged to the side.

Ace saw that Bai Yun had dodged the attack, and thought, "I can't stand it, I'll keep vomiting!" So Bai Yun continued to dodge.

He's still vomiting!

Then keep hiding!
