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

Page 92

The rule is, you can't just lift it randomly, or Little White will slap you with its tail.

Whitey randomly commanded the two fish, and it seemed to be having a lot of fun, while Usopp suffered and kept howling in pain.

.......

"So, all that's missing is Luffy, where are you?"

Bai Yun stroked his chin and looked at Luffy.

"Hehe, bring it on, Bai Yun, I'll take any training you want! As long as I can beat that crocodile."

Luffy raised his hand, full of confidence.

"Oh, is it?"

Bai Yun seemed to have come up with a good idea.

.......

"Bai Yun~ Can we try a different training method?"

Luffy looked troubled and said.

Bai Yun plans to give Luffy special training in both Armament Haki and Observation Haki, after all, he's the captain, isn't he?

This method is also particularly suitable for Luffy.

During his Armament Haki training, Haku had Luffy knead and eat pudding.

To succeed, you need to pinch the pudding so that your five fingers touch together without breaking it; it's all about controlling the pressure.

And special training in Observation Haki would be even more suitable for Luffy.

A large plate of meat and bones is placed in front of Luffy; he can only look at it, not eat it, to train Luffy's composure.

However, it's not impossible to eat one. Bai Yun shakes the dice. The dice in the sieve cup are randomly generated by the bracelet. As long as Luffy can tell how many dice are on the plate, he can eat one.

But with delicious food in front of him, Luffy was too busy drooling to concentrate.

So you have to practice.

........

And so, while Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp trained, the Straw Hat Pirates headed toward Little Garden.

Luffy initially wanted to exploit a loophole, but having the pudding crumbs in his hand would have been even better, as he could have eaten them directly.

If you're guessing a number of dice, he'll keep guessing the same number.

Bai You retorted, "This isn't enough to deal with you?"

"Sigh, Luffy, eat whatever you want."

"Really?"

"Hmm, maybe I shouldn't have treated you like that. I should have tried a different training method."

"It's alright, eat up. We don't have Armament Haki or Observation Haki, so at worst we'll just get beaten up on the Grand Line."

"At worst, I can save someone again like I did with the smoking man last time."

"At worst, I'll just fight to the death."

"At worst... I've said too much."

"If you really want to eat it right away, then go ahead and eat it."

Holding the large bone and meat, Luffy just couldn't bring himself to bite into it.

Bai Yun's words pierced his heart.

And Bai Yun's dejected look, rubbing his forehead, is just...unbelievable.

"I won't eat it!"

"Come on, let's guess a few more. I'm guessing seriously! Bai Yun (meaning 'good luck')."

Luffy put the large bone and meat back and said with high spirits.

"Really? Okay, good luck..."

Bai Yun still looked somewhat disappointed.

But what I was really thinking was, "You little brat, I've known you for so long, and you still can't be dealt with?"

What Luffy fears most is his crewmates' disappointment and loss.

After all, as the captain, how could he let his crewmates down? That was his thought about the captain—simple, but good.

........

Above the sea.

The Going Merry sailed on, a day having passed since Luffy and his crew's special training.

Bai Yun, Nami, and Vivi sat at the bow of the boat, enjoying the breeze and drinking beverages.

After witnessing Bai Yun's strength, it became clear that being anxious was useless.

Vivi also tried to calm down and patiently waited for Alabasta to arrive.

She was indeed a strong princess.

Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew continued their training.

Seeing Bai Yun with women on both sides, Sanji was so angry he gritted his teeth.

He was also a genius in leg techniques; he could stand and walk steadily in just one day, but he couldn't run yet.

And yesterday.

The issue of food.

Bai Yunlai started cooking, after Sanji struggled and fell several times, eventually putting the pot on his own head.

As for the issue of food...

Everyone else has no problem eating.

Luffy, well, if White Fortune doesn't give him food, he can go hungry for a day without any problem. He only has a day and a half at most to get to Little Garden.

If they eat their fill, the effectiveness of the special training will be greatly reduced.

Zoro, huh?

Bai Yun fed him.

What? Drinking?

Whether Bai Yun helps him drink or not, they're all partners; it doesn't matter who drinks.

Zoro: ????

Sanji fell and scraped his knee.

Usopp was the same; his feet were bitten here and there, and after his toes were bitten, he would bite the back of his foot or other places.

The four said: "Thankfully, we don't have to do special training while we're sleeping."

The two fish said: "What did we say when we ate foot skin all day? We were swimming freely in the ocean, and you caught us to drink our foot-washing water and eat our foot skin. What did we say?"

........

Finally, thanks to the prayers of Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp.

The outline of the small garden came into view.

Nami pointed at the pointer and affirmed.

"That's right, the pointer is pointing steadily to that island, the next island connected to Whiskey Hill, the second leg of our Grand Line: Little Garden."

"Really? That's great!" ×4

If all four spoke at the same time, then there's no need to spell it out.

After saying that, Luffy and the others all looked at Bai Yun.

"It's about combining work and rest."

"Alright, let's pause the special training for now and go downstairs to take a look. We also need to record the pointer... though we can't really record it anyway..."

Bai Yun returned home.

"What? What did you say at the end? Bai Yun?"

Nami heard Bai Yun's mutterings and asked him a question.

"It's nothing, I've just never seen such a special island before."

"It looks like a rainforest, and the plants seem to be things I've never seen before."

The Merry sailed into the waterway in the small garden.

All around were dense rainforests, and then a bird's call came from the sky.

"What was that just now? A bird?"

Nami asked in a panic.

"Yes, it's just a...bird?"

"A lizard?"

Sanji answered with a smile, and then a strange animal with wings and a lizard-like appearance flew by.
