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

The treasure chest that he had been waiting for for 20 years was empty.

This sense of disappointment was enough to kill a person.

But with the tempering of time, Gaimeng guessed that the treasure chest might be empty, but he just didn't want to believe it.

But as soon as he cried, the animals came out of the forest in a spiritual way, gathered around him and cried, as if telling Gaimeng that his 20 years were not a failure, not a joke, but their "God".

Gaimeng looked at these animals in a daze.

At first, he guarded the forest and the rare animals on the island with the idea that he couldn't get the treasure chest, but others wanted to get it.

20 years passed unknowingly. Looking at these animals, Gaimeng seemed to be enlightened. The real treasure was not necessarily just the five "Schrödinger's treasure chests", but his experience, and the rare animals that survived under his protection and regarded him as a "God".

........

"Compared to these treasure chests, I think these rare animals are more like treasures, your treasures, Uncle Gaimon."

Bai Yun stood on the edge of the hilltop, looking down with his arms folded, and persuaded Gaimon who was surrounded by "ten thousand" beasts.

Luffy sat down directly, his legs dangling in the air, "Hahahaha."

"Bai Yun is right, uncle, don't think too much, you waited for me for 20 years, didn't you?"

"If we didn't come, you might have to wait for 30 or 40 years."

"Maybe you won't wait until you die."

"You've waited for so long, and you've waited for us, you should go find the big secret treasure! Go to sea with us!"

Luffy made an invitation. He didn't care about age or gender when inviting his partners, he only cared about whether the other party was "interesting".

"You...are you inviting me? Straw Hat Boy..."

Gaimon couldn't believe it. The invitation from the pirates after 20 years really made people feel the passing of time.

........

"Have you really decided? Uncle, you want to stay on this island."

The scene changed, and the four of them returned to the beach, and Zoro was still sleeping.

Nami went to untie the rope, and Baiyun asked Gaimon who rejected Luffy's invitation.

"Well, thank you for inviting me. I have decided to stay and be the [Guardian of the Forest]."

"After 20 years of getting along, I have fallen in love with these animals. Long-haired boy, you are right. After 20 years, these rare animals that I have protected are my real treasures."

"I will continue to stay and protect them."

"Hey, it's really strange. I am not sad at all that there is no treasure chest. Instead, I feel relieved."

Uncle Gaimon is also a free and easy person. If he was 20 years older, he would indeed be a good partner and friend of Luffy and his friends.

Facing the sea breeze, Gaimon was a handsome and unrestrained person, but Luffy broke his defense with a word.

"Hahaha, uncle is also a rare animal."

"I will kill you!!"

Gaimon suddenly became furry and shouted with his fangs exposed.

"What a pity, uncle, you are so humorous."

"Yes, it's a pity, the sea journey is not suitable for pets."

Bai Yun replied, why did Gaimon feel a little weird?

Gaimon:........

"I mean these animals, I wanted to keep them, but it seems that nature is more suitable for them than on the ship."

Bai Yun immediately explained, although he did think that Gaimon was a rare "animal" like Luffy, but how could he say it so bluntly.

"Hahaha."

"Okay, go out to sea quickly, it will be dark if you delay any longer."

"You will definitely find a good partner!!"

"You have to find ONE PIECE and buy the whole world, Straw Hat Boy."

"I will."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to Gaimon, Luffy and Bai Yun set off on their journey again.

The two boats slowly sailed away, and Gaimon brought a group of animals to see them off on the shore.

The animals behind Gaimon suddenly bowed in unison in the direction of Bai Yun and the others.

This bow came suddenly, and no one knew who it was for.

.........

"Gu~"

"I'm so hungry!!!"

These days when going out to sea, Luffy said the most that he was so hungry, three words.

"There's nothing we can do. Even if there are fish, we can't grill them on this small boat."

"Didn't Uncle Gaimon give us a lot of fruit? You can eat some fruit first."

Bai Yun was already fishing. In such a narrow boat, there was nothing else to do except fishing.

"Well, I think Bai Yun is right."

"Is it really possible to enter the Grand Line just like this?"

"That's where the pirate cemetery is. We rely on"It's a bit risky to go there with these two small broken ships."

"Well, go south from here, there is a small town, let's go there first and see if we can get a big ship."

Nami took out the sea chart and suggested.

"I have no objection."

Bai Yun replied, of course he has no objection, the Merry can't be missed.

Zoro is still doing push-ups and didn't answer.

"Okay! Meat! Meat! Meat!!"

And Luffy's focus is on the meat in the town, not the ship.
