One Piece: Wudang Byakuya, deputy captain of the Straw Hats

"Is this me?"

The fog on the west coast of Gaya Island had not yet dissipated, and on the deck of the Melly, Meli tilted his head to look at the puppet in White Night's hand, seemingly puzzled.

Just now, Bai Ye tapped Meili's forehead with his finger and taught Meili a mental method suitable for spiritual cultivation.

Then, White Night prepared to fuse Melly with the puppet in his hand, allowing Melly to completely get rid of the many restrictions of the ship elves and become a higher-level existence.

"That's right, this is also a gift that I have prepared for you a long time ago."

Bai Ye said with a smile, and the movements on his hands did not stop.

After making the final changes to the puppet, White Night motioned for Melly to walk next to the puppet.

Melli did not hesitate and soon sat down cross-legged according to Bai Ye's instructions.

And the puppet was also put into the same pose by Bai Ye.

[Soul Condensing Array - up! ]

With a soft drink in the white night, the magic array glowing with a faint blue light enveloped Melly and the puppet.

Then, under the influence of the formation, Melly and the puppet also began to gradually move towards the center of the formation.

And then - start merging.

Seeing that the fusion went smoothly, Bai Ye also smiled.

As for Melly, he had already prepared for it.

In the formation he recorded on the Melly, there was a formation with a spiritual effect.

It is also these formations that are subtly changing the Melly.

To put it simply, unlike the original Meri that White Night saw in his previous life, today's Meli is no longer an ordinary ship, but a kind of existence similar to a magic weapon.

Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why Melly was able to talk smoothly with Bai Ye shortly after he was born.

At the same time, this change also makes Melly himself more in line with the mental method given by White Night.

As for the main material used for the puppets, it is the same wood as the keel of the Melly.

Bai Ye also uses various rare materials to smelt and process it.

And he invested so regardless of the cost, there is only one purpose.

That is to make Melly a member of the Straw Hats once and for all.

A ship elf with entities and can become stronger.

On the one hand, it is to make up for regrets.

After all, in the original book, Melly was not able to appear in front of others until he was consumed by flames.

Now with the help of White Night, Melly can also appear in front of everyone as a partner.

On the other hand, it is also to prepare for the complete transformation of Meli in the capital of seven waters.

At the beginning of the construction of the Melly, White Night considered the issue of changing ships.

At the beginning, he did not hesitate to smash 50 million Bailey, but only for the fact that the damage to Melly was not so serious in the process of sailing to the capital of seven waters.

At first, White Night only wanted to transfer it to the Sunshine in the capital of seven waters after Meli was conceived and born.

But this raises a problem:

in the original work, although the later Miles of Sunshine never appeared ship spirits.

However, in some pictures, Oda still draws scenes where the Sunshine has changed its expression.

This may also mean that ship elves have also appeared on the Sunshine.

In this way, to take an inappropriate reason, White Night's move is to let Melison occupy the Magpie's Nest.

So after thinking about it, Bai Ye finally chose the current plan.

That is to choose to preserve the Melly.

And when it was the capital of seven waters, the Meli was completely remodeled.

In the middle, another problem naturally arises.

That is the replacement of the keel.

The materials used in the Merley's current keel are not good, not even excellent.

Even with the protection of the White Night Formation, it is still somewhat difficult to face the more severe weather and dangers of the New World.

So the keel must be changed.

But once the keel is replaced, it is almost a new ship to be built.

At that time, even if there is a white night, it is difficult to guarantee that Melly will not be affected.

After all, Melly himself is an elf who relies on ships.

It is also with such concerns that White Night will prepare all this for Melly early.

Melly, who owns the entity, although still relies on ships.

But the relationship has been reversed.

If it was Meli who controlled Melly's life and death before.

So now, it is Melly who holds the power of life and death.

Not only that, as Melly becomes stronger, it can also feed back to the Melly.

In this way, replacing the keel will not only not have an impact on Melly, but will bring benefits to Melly.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye also looked up at the French array, and under the blue light, a figure had gradually become clear.

"This feeling..."

In the formation, Meli felt his gradually solidified body, and the excitement in his heart was indescribable.

Finally, Melly clenched his fists, raised them above his head, and excitedly shouted:

"It's really fantastic!!

At this time, the blue light also completely dissipated, and a reborn Meli also appeared in front of White Night.

However, looking at the figure in front of him, the corners of Bai Ye's mouth twitched slightly:

"Hey, although I have expected it for a long time, but..." The

reason why Bai Ye said that he had expected it was because when the spirit body condensed the body, the image would subconsciously bias towards the most important person in the heart.

And Luffy is the captain of this ship, and in Melly's heart, he naturally occupies the most important position.

Bai Ye looked at the small figure in front of him and the miniature version of Luffy, and couldn't help but complain:

"This is too similar to Luffy, right!!

"Hey, hey."

Melli grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth, smiled at Bai Ye, and then reached out and pulled off the hat of his raincoat and continued:

"Bai Ye, look, is my hair the same as yours?"

Melly tilted his little head and showed Bai Ye his long white hair that was tied up.

"Hmm..." Bai

Ye rubbed his chin, looking at Melly in front of him a little awkwardly.

Luffy's face, plus my hair, turned out to be so ugly?

Bai Ye couldn't help but sneer.

He crouched down, his hand condensed innately, and touched towards Melly.

A moment later, Bai Ye stood up, looked at Melly in front of him, who was completely different from just now, and nodded.

He didn't pinch Melly's face again, he just erased the specific characteristics of Melly about Luffy and himself.

These were originally what Melly intended to appear at the moment of condensation, and now the white night erases these features, which is equivalent to restoring Melly's original appearance.

Today's Melly doesn't make people think of Luffy at a glance.

But Melly is still cute and cute, and must be very attractive to Robin and Nami.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye couldn't help but think to himself:

The status of the group pet of the Qioba Straw Hat Regiment is dangerous!!

"Okay, next, let's introduce you to other partners."

Bai Ye stood up and said to Melly.

Hearing this, Melly raised his head, his eyes full of expectation.

Looking at him in the white night, he nodded heavily:

"Uh-huh!"

-

At this time, the thick fog finally cleared, and White Night and Melly also jumped off the boat.

Feeling the solid land for the first time, Melly seemed particularly excited, and couldn't help but tentatively step on several feet.

Seeing Meili's curious baby, Bai Ye also smiled.

Today's Melly has completely escaped many of the restrictions of ship elves.

In the future, Melly can also get off the boat and follow everyone on adventures, and will no longer be left alone on the ship, waiting for everyone's return.

Bai Ye turned around, activated the escort array again, and walked towards the Magic Valley Town with Meili.
