Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

Of course, it’s because I watched anime~

Bai Ye naturally did not say this, but instead turned his wrist and took out a yellowed photo.

"After the Pirate King conquered the Grand Line for the second time, he appeared in the town of Rogue in the East China Sea and took a precious photo at a tavern called Gol D. Roger."

Bai Ye continued to talk, then pointed at a middle-aged man in the photo and said:

"Although twenty-five years have passed, the saffron on your head is still very conspicuous, old man."

Nami and the others also took the photo and looked carefully at the person Bai Ye was pointing at.

"They really look alike." Everyone came to the same conclusion.

"Hahaha, you guys are really interesting."

Having said that, there was no need for Kurokas to hide his identity and he chose to admit it.

"Hey, hey, hey, Luffy, don't you want to ask old man where Raftel is? Wouldn't it be faster to get there this way?"

Usopp suddenly spoke up.

"do not want!"

Luffy smiled, as if he really didn't want to know:

"I want to go by myself. This is our adventure."

"Hahaha, very good, Straw Hat Boy."

Crocus laughed loudly, not trying to hide his admiration for Luffy.

Then, Kurokas also told everyone about his experience and precautions of traveling on the Grand Route.

Afterwards, after learning that the straw hat in the Straw Hat Boy's hands was passed down to that boy Shanks, the look in Crocus's eyes when he looked at Luffy became even more wrong.

A few days later, the recording pointer that Nami bought finally collected enough magnetism.

The Straw Hat Pirates said goodbye to Crocus and Lab and continued their voyage.

Kurokas stood on the shore and watched the Merry leave, with Lab beside him.

It is worth mentioning that before Luffy drew the pirate flag on Laboo's head, Byakuya also took out pills to heal the scars on Laboo's head.

Kurokas was curious when he saw this.

"What a nice pirate ship."

Recalling the past few days together, Kurokas couldn't help but sigh.

"Are they the ones we've been waiting for?"

He muttered, "Shanks gave your straw hat to that brat."

"He really does look like an incredible young man."

"You said so, Roger."

-

What no one expected was that on a reef, there were two people who had been observing their every move from the very beginning.

"Mr. 9, are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?"

A blue-haired girl put down the telescope in her hand, looked at the yellow-haired man with two 9s written on his face and said.

"You can't be wrong, Mr. Wednesday."

The man also put down his telescope:

"Even if people might make a mistake, the straw hat pirate flag is not wrong."

"They are the overlords of the East Sea, the Straw Hat Pirates, whose first bounty reached 245 million."

These two people are members of the Baroque Studio. This time they are here to complete the mission of killing Lab and bringing him back to the town as food.

But after discovering the Straw Hat Pirates with a bounty of over 100 million, they gave up the idea of ​​charging straight in.

It can also be seen from this that the changes that Byakuya brought to the Straw Hat Pirates also inadvertently affected the direction of many things.

Then the man took out a newspaper from his pocket, opened it, pointed at a photo and said:

"And their captain is this man."

The blue-haired girl looked at the photo the man was pointing at.

A young boy wearing a straw hat is facing the camera with a sunny smile.

Behind him, there seemed to be smoke and dust raised by something collapsing.

"Monkey D. Luffy?"

The blue-haired girl muttered to herself, fixing her eyes on the title on the photo—

[The boy who walked out of the ruins of One Piece's execution platform, is he the next one? 】

She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

The man's voice continued: "Looking at their sailing route, their destination should be there."

"I really don't know whether to say they are unfortunate or lucky?"

"That's the last place pirates should go."

Then, he also said to the blue-haired girl:

"Then let's go back to town early to tell them about this, Mr. Wednesday."

"Perhaps we can avoid the penalty for mission failure."

After hearing this, the blue-haired girl nodded in agreement.

-

How unpredictable is the weather on the Grand Route.

The sky may be clear one second, and the next second, it may turn from spring to winter.

Heavy snow fell, instantly covering the entire Merry with a layer of white skin.

"It's really good, Sanji. After drinking this, I feel like I'm alive again."

Bai Ye took a sip of the hot tea prepared by Sanji and said to Sanji with gratitude.

When Sanji saw Bai Ye's reaction, he was stunned for a moment.

Then he kicked Luffy beside him and said, "Learn from his attitude."

Maybe because he was too angry, Sanji even used a bit of domineering.

Luffy: Huh? Why did you kick me?

"Hey, hey, hey, Luffy, look,"

Usopp shouted to Luffy at this time:

"Look at this artwork that I worked so hard on—"

"Snow Sculpture! [Snow Queen]!!!"

"Wow!!!"

The moment Luffy saw the snow sculpture, he forgot that he had just been beaten.

With shining eyes, he came to Usopp:

"You are awesome, Usopp."

Then, the next second——

Boom!

Nami raised her fist and turned it into fangs and shouted:

"Just clean the snow properly, don't do this unnecessary work."

Luffy, Usopp: "I'm so sorry" X2

At this moment, Sauron on the observation deck suddenly shouted:

"Hey, Nami, there's an iceberg ahead."

"What!" Nami was shocked:

"Usopp, turn the rudder quickly."

"Luffy, go and retract the sails."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!!~ Phew, that was close, we almost collided."

I have to say that traveling on the Grand Line is much more interesting than traveling to the East China Sea.

While everyone was still getting familiar with this kind of travel, the destination had already been quietly reached.

【Whiskey Peak】——Welcome Town

"What? You said the Straw Hat Pirates are coming here?"

In the town, a middle-aged man looked at the two people in front of him and asked.

"Yes, they just arrived at Gemini Cape via Upside Down Mountain not long ago. Calculating the time, they should be arriving soon."

Mr.9 nodded and said.

"The Straw Hat Pirates?"

The middle-aged man recalled the information he knew:

The newly emerged pirate overlord of the East China Sea heads to the Grand Line for the first time.

"Based on the bounty, their captain and vice-captain are undoubtedly the most difficult to deal with."

"The Straw Hat Boy Luffy with a bounty of 60 million, and the Heavenly Master Byakuya with a bounty of 100 million."

Thinking of the bounty on the two men, the middle-aged man was somewhat frightened.

After all, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile's bounty is only 81 million.
