The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

The miniature rain cloud made with this machine can be placed anywhere.

If rain clouds could be seen everywhere in Alabasta, it would bring rain clouds closer to people's lives and might even create a unique cloud and rain cloud culture.

..0

"And this tool can not only make ordinary clouds, but it also has a special feature: it can make cotton candy-flavored clouds?"

As Link spoke, he turned on the machine and demonstrated it himself, then rolled out a beautiful pink marshmallow.

It looks like a cloud wrapping a wooden stick, but if you eat it carefully, the taste and texture are no different from real cotton candy.

Even because of the softness of the cotton candy cloud it creates, it tastes even better than a normal cotton candy.

You can tell just by looking at Chopper standing there, his eyes sparkling, wolfing down his food.

"Besides these, there is also this strange umbrella that can provide water."

Link picked up an ordinary-looking umbrella from the table and opened it with a snap.

1671055

Wow~

Suddenly, a torrential downpour began from inside the umbrella.

"This is an umbrella that makes it rain as soon as you open it; it can be used in certain situations as well."

Prop: [An umbrella that makes it rain when opened].

Description: This is one of the strange umbrellas. Its function is to let water fall out of the umbrella when it is opened. It seems useless, but it is actually a very useful water supply tool.

This umbrella appears quite frequently, especially when Nobita is adventuring on the deserted island, where it provides a very important source of water.

"So many rain and water-providing props..."

Cobra stared blankly at the scene before him.

"Of course, you can't have all of these props."

Link closed the umbrella. "You can leave this umbrella, the extra [Multi-purpose Faucet], and the [Cotton Candy Cloud Maker]."

"I'm going to take the [Weather Observation Pen Set] with me. This item might be very useful on our journey ahead."

"After all, on the Grand Line, besides man-made disasters, the most troublesome thing is this extremely bad weather."

"Of course, of course!!"

Upon hearing Link's words, Cobra quickly responded:

"Mr. Link, we are already very grateful that you left us these items..."

"Cough cough!!"

Before Cobra could finish speaking, Chopper next to him started coughing violently.

"Wait?! Link, are you going to keep this cotton candy making machine?!"

Chopper looked on in disbelief, and even the cotton candy cloud in his hand didn't taste so good anymore.

The thought that he would never be able to eat such delicious cotton candy again made Chopper feel heartbroken and sad, and even wanted to cry.

Before he knew it, Chopper's eyes had become teary.

"Don't worry, Chopper, how could I not consider your feelings?"

Link crouched down, patted his head, and said with a smile:

"This is called the 'Cotton Candy Cloud Making Machine,' not the 'Cotton Candy Making Machine.' I just happened to have one more recently, so you can rest assured."

"You'll still be able to enjoy this delicious cotton candy corpse in the future."

116's confusion about justice?! Was this your doing? [Props Maker] Link...

"Really?!"

Upon hearing this, Chopper immediately wiped away the tears in his eyes.

When do you think I've ever lied to you?

"Very good!!"

Chopper cheered happily. His happiness was that simple; his sadness came and went quickly.

He immediately started stuffing cotton candy clouds into his mouth again.

“With the water problem completely solved, the people’s hearts will return to the Nefertari royal family. Now, the second problem is to deal with Vivi, who is walking in with the [message plane].

"Um?"

Vivi nodded gently. "I have already written a letter containing all the causes and consequences of this Alabasta incident, including who was behind it."

"I plan to use this tool of yours, Link, to deliver this letter to Koza, so he can also know the truth of this matter!!"

Weiwei said with a firm gaze.

"That's good now. After the rebels learn the truth, their hostility and aggression towards us will probably disappear."

Link snapped his fingers to signal the end of it. "Now, all we need to do is focus on Crocodile!!"

Based on Link's understanding of Koza, this guy, despite being the leader of the largest rebel army, showed no covetousness for the forces under his control and disbanded his troops without hesitation.

Moreover, he truly loves his hometown and will become the country's Minister of the Environment in two years to manage the country's environment.

It's hard to say whether Cobra is truly magnanimous or just incredibly audacious, considering he dared to appoint a minister to the position of leader of an opposing army.

June 20th

Moreover, one party dared to offer the position, and the other dared to accept it.

Therefore, there shouldn't be any major problems with the rebel army.

Thus, judging from the current situation, Alabasta has been completely stabilized. The only thing left to face is Crocodile and his group—the final big boss.

"It's truly unbelievable that the Alabasta rebellion, which lasted for several years, was quelled just like that?!"

The people who feel the most deeply about the current situation are not any individual in this country, nor are they Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates.

He was Smoker, a genuine soldier who knew all too well how difficult it was to quell a rebellion.

He listened to the reports from Lazi's soldiers, somewhat incredulous.

"Such a powerful rebel army, yet it fell silent in just two short days..."

Smoker's eye twitched. "How on earth did they do that?!"

Suppressing rebellions is never an easy task; otherwise, the revolutionary army that has plagued the world government for so many years would have been wiped out long ago.

"It must be those people..."

Tashigi, standing nearby, hesitated before expressing her thoughts:

"Whether it's the rain clouds that appear all over the country at the same time, or the magical faucets delivered to various cities..."

Tashigi gazed at the town center where a group of residents were queuing up to get water from a tap.

It seemed as if there was an inexhaustible source of water inside; at least, Tashigi hadn't seen the water source diminish in the slightest since she started looking at it this morning.

Amidst the "miracle" of rain falling simultaneously across the country, the Alabasta royal family seized the opportunity and, following Link's advice, sent the surplus "all-purpose faucets" to various cities throughout the nation.

A universal tap that ensures every city has at least one common water source.

In order to prevent the impact of this incident from fading over time, Bale even took matters into his own hands.

Transforming into a falcon-like bird, carrying numerous "all-purpose faucets," it managed to travel all over the country in just one day.

When he returned, he was so exhausted that he almost collapsed on the ground.

Despite the exhaustion, the results of his efforts were gratifying.

After each city received and used the "all-purpose faucet," they truly felt its amazing capabilities.

Immediately, the people in the city happily came out with buckets to collect water.

The residents were all discussing and talking about this matter with great interest.

Their words were filled with deep gratitude and respect for the king.

There were even devout citizens who, while catching water, crossed their hands and prayed, expressing their deep gratitude for their current lives and for the King.

Everyone's face was beaming with happiness, a completely different look compared to when Tashigi and the others first arrived in the country.

In such a short time, the entire country has been transformed like this, and it even has such amazing faucets...

Tashigi had a pretty good idea of ​​who did it.

But it was precisely because she had guessed that she couldn't say it.

"Colonel Smoker..."

She gripped the famous sword "Shigure" tightly in her hand and suddenly spoke.

What does true justice look like?

She said softly, "I always thought that protecting the safety of the people was true justice, and chasing pirates was the most important thing. But now it seems that 'pirates have brought happiness to the people of this country, and have even saved the country to some extent...'"

“As members of the Navy, we are facing this country’s disaster, but because it’s their internal strife, we can’t intervene. We just have to watch them suffer…” Tashigi said, biting her lip, her resentment evident.

They were clearly the navy upholding justice, but the ones who brought happiness to the people were a group of pirates they relentlessly pursued!

This is undeniably ironic considering the "justice" they bear behind them.

Smoker sat there silently, smoking a cigar.

To be honest, Smoker had doubts about the justice of the Navy Headquarters for a period of time, and even raised some questions.

Otherwise, given that he is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, possesses exceptional strength and temperament, and is a distinguished disciple of Marine Admiral Zephyr, would he not be considered a top student?

Despite his impeccable background, he was assigned to be a colonel in one of the weakest towns in the East China Sea.

However, after experiencing so much and reflecting on his own experiences, he realized that justice is not as simple as he had imagined.

At least within the Navy, there are many different understandings of justice and different camps.

Admiral Aokiji's "Lazy Justice", Admiral Akainu's "Iron-Blooded Justice", and Admiral Kizaru's "Ambiguous Justice".

Marshal Sengoku's "Justice that Reigns Supreme," Hero Garp's "Justice That Laughs Out Loud"...

Everyone has their own understanding of justice, and Smoker is also exploring his own path to justice.

He hadn't even found the right path himself, so there was nothing he could offer Tashigi. Everything depended on her figuring out for herself which path she wanted to follow.

"We really can't interfere in this country's internal affairs..."

After a moment, Smoker slowly began to speak, "However, one thing that the king mentioned earlier has caught my attention."

"The reason for the rebellion in this country is that there are behind-the-scenes forces pushing it."

"If there is anyone in this country who is most suspicious, then there is only one person..."

At this point, Smoker's eyes narrowed slightly, and an image of a man carrying a golden hook appeared in his mind.

"Crocodile!!"

Tashigi also thought of it and immediately blurted it out.

The crocodile had left a deep impression on her before; his domineering and ruthless demeanor made her immediately suspect something was wrong with him!

"Let's go to Albana!"

Smoker stood up and said in a deep voice, "If Crocodile really had other purposes, or even if he simply coveted this country, then he would definitely go to the palace to see the king!"

"As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea under the World Government, he ends up harming the member states of the World Government and even trying to steal their countries..."

"As members of the Navy, we can't just stand by and do nothing about this... Tashigi!"

"exist!"

"Take a headcount and proceed to the capital, Albana, to immediately arrest Crocodile!!"

"Yes!!!"

Meanwhile, Smoker is taking action, and on the other side, Crocodile is attracting attention from all sides and becoming their target.

"You've got some skills, Cobra..."

After listening to Robin's report on the intelligence gathered in Alabasta over the past few days, Crocodile couldn't help but take a deep drag on his cigar.

"In a very short period of time, they have disrupted all the plans I have made over the past three years."
