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

It must be said that the tone and content of these words were handled quite well.

Everyone else absolutely believed that Luffy was capable of saying such a thing.

"So, before he fell into a coma, he only had this one request, and of course I had to fulfill it."

Link smiled and looked at the sticker on Luffy's eye.

Those are round stickers that look exactly like eyes. When you stick them on your eyelids, they look just like you have your eyes open.

Item: [Nap Sticker].

Description: Simply tell these nap stickers what you want to do, stick them on your eyes, and you can do it while you nap. You can get things done in your sleep, saving a lot of effort and time.

Luffy was able to do the amazing thing of eating while sleeping because he had these stickers on.

Of course, this is a piece of cake for Luffy.

"I always felt that this guy was obsessed with eating. Even without Link's gadgets, he could still do this in the future...?" Zoro rubbed his chin and suddenly thought this.

"Mmm~!!"

Everyone else, including Sanji, strongly agreed.

They firmly believed that Luffy was absolutely capable of doing it, and Luffy certainly did not disappoint them later on.

It's worth noting that after Luffy sailed to Water Seven, he was already able to eat and sleep at the same time, just like he is now.

And after arriving in Dressrosa and defeating Doflamingo, things became even more outrageous.

It was a process of eating, sleeping, feeling anxious, angry, sad, crying, and surprised all at the same time...

It's like one person playing seven roles, even more terrifying than schizophrenia. Doing seven things at the same time and expressing all sorts of different emotions made Zoro complain for a long time.

After joking around with Luffy and the others, they began to discuss their next plans.

As a group of pirates, the Straw Hat Pirates' final destination is certainly not Alabasta.

That turbulent sea is where they should be.

When do we plan to leave?

When Zoro brought up this issue, most people in the room fell silent.

Weiwei bit her lip lightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

"Let Luffy decide after he wakes up."

Link put the newspaper away, picked up his black tea, and took a small sip.

"After all, he is the captain, and the ship's future course is up to him."

"it is good!"

By leaving the decision of the problem that one is unwilling to make to this silly captain who doesn't need to think about anything, one can save time and effort and make the captain appear to have a legitimate claim.

Soon, the group spent the afternoon chatting away.

When night fell, everyone else was sound asleep.

They had been informed that King Cobra would be hosting a celebratory and thank-you banquet for them at noon the next day.

In preparation for the big meal tomorrow noon, they naturally need to rest and recharge, ready to feast.

The moon was bright and the stars were few; the starry sky in Alabasta was very clear.

However, due to the sandstorm, it is difficult to see any stars in the harsh weather conditions.

"However, such scenery is truly rare."

On the rooftop, Link, who was not asleep, looked up at the starry sky above and exclaimed in admiration.

"Did you know? In my hometown, there's a story called the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. They're like two stars in the sky, separated by the Milky Way, and can only meet once a year."

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Link said without turning his head.

"But even so, the feelings between them have never faded..."

He knew who the person coming was.

"You're still awake..."

Vivi walked over to Link and stood beside him, just like Robin had stood with Link before.

"You weren't asleep either, were you?"

Link replied, "I saw the hesitation in your eyes during the day. Can you tell me what you're thinking?"

He smiled and turned to look at Weiwei, who was still struggling with her thoughts. "No one else is here. You can tell me. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."

"That's how it is..."

Looking at Link's smiling face, Vivi's heart trembled, and she finally revealed her true thoughts:

"I want to stay."

Link showed neither surprise nor frown, but quietly waited for Vivi to continue.

"It's not that I'm unwilling to go to the sea with you. You are all the most important companions in my life, and I'm willing to risk my life for you, but..."

Vivi bit her lip, trying hard not to cry:

"After what happened with Crocodile, I realized that besides being your partner Vivi, I am also the princess of Alabasta, Nefertari Vivi!!"

"I need to fulfill my duty as a princess in this country and prevent a tragedy like Crocodile's from happening again."

"Moreover, after this incident, my father suffered a great blow, and his health has deteriorated. I want to spend more time with him and help him share some of his stress and worries..."

Vivi was explaining her reasons for staying when she felt a warm, large hand pat her shoulder.

"We all understand."

Link placed his hand on Vivi's shoulder and chuckled softly:

"Not only me, but Usopp, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, and even Luffy and Chopper, they all really understand your decision."

Whatever your choice, we will support you; you will always be our partner!

Link had long felt that Alabasta had a problematic system; its main ministers were only Ikaram, Gaka, and Bel, and its administrative system was very crude.

Indeed, we need more talented people like Vivi to help this country continue to function normally.

Moreover, King Cobra's already poor health was further weakened by this blow, making it even more difficult for him to continue.

Two years later, Kobra had gray hair, a haggard and aged face, and could only lie in bed coughing constantly, clearly suffering from a serious illness.

(Wang Lehao) If Vivi really leaves with Link and the others, it's quite possible that Cobra might collapse prematurely?

"Link..."

After hearing Link's words, Vivi looked up, her face already streaked with tears.

"Actually, I could sense it as early as when you told me the country was facing a crisis..."

Link put his other hand on Vivi's shoulder as well, saying, "Your deep love for this country is so profound."

With a slight turn, both hands brought Weiwei to face them.

Their eyes met. "Be brave and make your choice. At least, I will stand firmly on your side."

"Link..."

Vivi stared blankly into Link's clear eyes. In this situation, for no apparent reason, an impulse suddenly rose within her:

"I have a deep love for this country, and the same goes for you!!!"

Weiwei blurted out those words without thinking.

After she finished speaking, her brain went blank.

The tears stopped flowing, and the tears quickly disappeared—evaporated by her flushed face.

To say something like that in such a setting is truly embarrassing!

Weiwei felt a shiver run through her heart, but also a sense of relief. At least she had finally expressed the genuine emotions she had accumulated over this period of time without any regrets.

that is..

I wonder what Link is thinking?!

Weiwei felt a sense of unease and anxiety again.

But when she looked at Link again...

"I know it all."

Link, on the contrary, showed no surprise or astonishment, and simply smiled gently.

[Thank you so much to 'Call Me Monster' for the generous donation of 1000 points!!!]

124 Farewell and End! Robin, boarding the ship! You have to take responsibility for me!!

"I know how you feel about me, but I thought you would never say it..."

Link isn't stupid. After all, he's watched so many action-packed and romance anime. He's not one of those blind people who can't see through the emotions of these women, even if he doesn't have a perfect grasp of them.

"You all know?"

When Weiwei heard this, she was stunned.

"Then why..."

She instinctively wanted to ask Link why he wasn't responding, but then she thought that would be too forward and too unreserved, so she quickly shut her mouth.

Do you know Usopp's family?

Instead of answering her question directly, Link mentioned Usopp on their ship.

"His father was a pirate who abandoned his wife and children to venture out to sea when Usopp was two years old."

"As a result, Usopp's mother had no one to take care of her when she was seriously ill a few years ago, and she passed away."

"So, if you plan to stay in this country..."

"I see!!"

Before Link could finish speaking, Vivi declared firmly, "I can wait!!"

"The fact that Usopp's mother could wait for Usopp's father shows that even if he was not a good husband or father for abandoning his family and going to sea, it also shows that he was a good man worthy of trust."

“I don’t think I’m inferior to Usopp’s mother, and I think you’re a much better man than Usopp’s father…”

Weiwei smiled, her face blooming like a flower. "In your hometown, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can only meet once a year and never be separated. So what is this distance across the sea to me?"

"Besides, with the tools you have, surely you can't keep us separated like this forever, right?"

Vivi winked at Link.

"Items that won't cause separation...maybe there will be more in the future~"

Link scratched his face, a little uncertain.

The items he draws are randomly selected, drawn once a day, so you never know what item he'll draw.

"And waiting is one thing, but I'm mainly worried that this Grand Line is known as the graveyard of pirates. What if we have two white jade fingers pressing down on Link's mouth before he can finish speaking?"

"There's no 'what if'!!"

Her tone was extremely firm.

At this moment, Vivi finally abandoned her little girl persona and displayed the domineering presence and decisiveness befitting a desert princess:

"I told you, I will wait for you, forever!!" 627

She spoke each word with conviction, each phrase reaffirming her determination.

Link stared at her intently, while she stubbornly met his gaze.

Finally, Link wrapped his arms around Vivi, bringing them even closer, almost to zero distance.

Now that things have come to this, and the woman has already made her stance clear, what else can Link, this grown man, say?! Under the cool moonlight, two figures embraced each other.

A cool, holy light shone upon the two of them, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene!

The desert princess is dancing gracefully, while the prop master of the seamen is adding to the festivities with props.

Everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful~~~

On the second day.
