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

He casually tossed the idiot he had knocked down out of his hand, his two arms, which were clearly disproportionate to his lower body, waving wildly in mid-air.

Jumping down from the house, Burgess confidently extended invitations to those around him.

"I challenge you!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a clear female voice rang out in the room.

"Oh? There really are people who aren't afraid of death?!"

Bages narrowed his eyes, looked in the direction of the sound, and then froze:

"Hey, hey, hey, you're not kidding, are you?!"

He pointed at Nami, who had come up to him, and said in an exaggerated tone, "Miss, what we're going to do is a life-or-death fighting competition, not some little girl's pretend play game!!"

"Go back to where you came from. This is none of your business."

As he spoke, he waved at Nami, clearly showing that he didn't think much of her, and his tone was very indifferent.

This shows they completely disregard Nami and don't consider her a potential rival.

You've narrowed your path, young man.

Looking at Nami's signature fake smile, Link couldn't help but silently mourn for her for two seconds.

"It's okay, just treat it as a game."

Nami smiled nonchalantly, "It just so happens that I also want to challenge the champion."

"is it?"

Burgess still looked at Nami with some disdain, "Then come on~"

He assumed a fighting stance, looking somewhat forced and nonchalant, but his muscles were slightly tense.

138 [Lucky Pistol]! Let fate decide! A member of the Blackbeard Pirates!

Burgess stared at Zoro with a grim expression.

He could clearly sense that the guy in front of him was not someone to be trifled with. Although he might not be able to defeat him, at this crucial juncture, he had not forgotten the captain's teachings.

It's best to avoid unnecessary complications.

only……

Looking at Nami's smiling face, he couldn't calm down the anger in his heart.

"I said it!!"

He gritted his teeth and said, very unwillingly:

"What do you want in return for another match with me?!"

"How about it……"

Upon hearing that there were conditions to be offered, Nami turned her gaze back to them.

"Yes, that's right, name your conditions, anything I can do!!"

Bages solemnly stated that he took the championship and the fact that he had failed very seriously.

He wouldn't have any complaints if he lost to those stronger opponents.

After all, there are so many powerful beings on the high seas, and they might just appear out of nowhere, just like their captain.

But he didn't even know how he lost; he was defeated by a young girl in a daze.

Bages's dignity and pride wouldn't allow him to accept this so carelessly!

That championship belt around his waist is absolutely unacceptable!!

"Conditions..."

Nami's eyes darted around. "I heard that fighting matches involve prizes?"

The meaning is already quite clear.

"Do you need money? I don't have any money on me!!"

Having understood the implication, Burgess replied without hesitation, "However, I also have some valuables on me!"

As he spoke, he untied the championship belt with a large piece of gold from his waist and put it aside.

"This belt is adorned with gold and holds considerable influence in the fighting world. If you were to sell it, I'm confident that many fighters would be willing to pay a high price for it."

"A huge piece of gold...a fighter...offers a high price!!!"

Upon hearing these keywords, Nami's face immediately lit up with a radiant smile:

"No problem, I'll have another match with you!!"

She said that, then winked at Link.

The implication is clear: having won a round against Burgess and having five million Berries, if they were to win another round, even if it didn't double, wouldn't they at least get a bigger bonus?

Well, she's really profiting from both sides.

"Let me make this clear first, this time I won't hold back."

After receiving Link's promise to pay more, Nami was clearly more motivated.

She tightened the black belt around her slender waist once more.

This is the guy who makes her money, so she won't be careless about this.

She had just tested it out; the black belt's amazing effect allowed her to easily flip the big guy opposite her to the ground.

I must say, it feels really good!!

"Then let's try again! Spit! Spit! 〃II!"

Burgess spat into his palms and then rubbed them together vigorously.

His eyes were filled with malice as he looked at Nami, and he grinned.

Hey!

He pushed off the ground with his feet.

Nami launched the attack first, and he was caught off guard and somehow fell and flew away.

This time, he chose to take the initiative, determined to see exactly what the other side was up to and how they had managed to do it!

While displaying an aggressive demeanor, Burgess's eyes also revealed a cautious and serious expression.

He had indeed made preparations and taken measures to deal with the situation, as well as carefully observed the actions.

But... it's a pity~

His opponent wasn't Nami, but rather that unreasonable, 22nd-century rule-based gadget from Link's hands that hung around her waist!

So, before his hands even touched Nami, he could already see her hands resting on his shoulders, the weakest point on his body. And then... that was it.

"Let's go!!"

Nami, remembering the words Link often taught Ah Niu, swung her arms and threw the big guy in her hands into the air again.

Then, Burgess once again performed a headfirst, headfirst fall.

"Boom!"

His massive body crashed to the ground, as if the ground itself trembled.

"Why is this happening...?"

Although this level of impact was nothing for Burgess's strong physique.

But the psychological damage to him was nothing short of devastating!

He was a wrestling champion, and according to the fighting rules of this world, landing on his head, shoulders, and back simultaneously would be an instant kill.

How could a fighting champion like him lose so easily to a little girl?!

At a time when Bages couldn't understand this at all, he suddenly felt that his life was also filled with darkness.

Of course, he did try to struggle again:

"Could it be that this little girl ate some kind of Devil Fruit, like the Wrestling Fruit?!"

Burgess, who had gotten up from the ground and sat cross-legged on the floor, looked at Nami, who was gleefully taking away his championship belt, and thought to himself with a sense of existential doubt.

"I won!!"

Nami came up to Link and the others and proudly waved her belt in front of them.

"sharp!!"

Robin smiled slightly, pursing her lips.

"The design is really nice!"

Zoro also praised it in the same way.

"That's great, I even won a belt..."

Luffy muttered to himself with envy, then ate a...

"Click?"

He took a big bite and chewed there.

"Huh? Luffy, where did you get that apple?"

Nami was taken aback when she saw this.

"Oh, this was given to me by the old man next to me."

Apple.

Luffy pointed to the man beside him who looked sickly, as if he were seriously ill and about to die, and was lying on a similarly emaciated white horse.

"Wh...what sir...sir? I'm only...only twenty-eight years old!!"

The man spoke haltingly, repeating himself several times before he could finish his sentence.

"Twenty-eight years old?"

Nami was speechless. "You look eighty-eight years old? People would actually believe it!"

boom! !

Suddenly, a violent explosion occurred at the street corner.

"That is how the matter?!"

"I don't know, it seems like they ate something that exploded!!"

"If I'm not mistaken, it was an apple. It seems an old man gave him a red apple, and then he took a bite and it exploded!!"

The pirates nearby whispered among themselves, clearly wary of the power of the explosion.

"?,apple?!"

Zoro's face immediately turned ugly. "Hey, Luffy, spit out the apple right now!!"

Nami instantly understood and jumped away from the "old guy" in fright.

"what?"

Unaware of what had happened, Luffy swallowed the apple.

"Luffy!!!"

"Ahem, don't worry... It's alright, this is... the only apple in the basket that doesn't have... a bomb."

The sickly-looking old man, or perhaps a young man, weakly grinned at Luffy:

"You're really lucky, you won the jackpot."

As he spoke, he glanced subtly at Nami, and then at Burgess, who was sitting on the ground with his arms crossed, seemingly lost in thought about life, no longer wearing his championship belt.

"But that would be far too dangerous! You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?!"

Zoro spoke in an unusually impolite tone, staring at the strange fellow with an unfriendly expression.

He would not hesitate to cut down anyone who posed a threat to his companions or others.
