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

"Rossantini..."

Upon hearing this, the heartstrings of Zhan Guo, who rarely felt sorrow, were touched.

When he recalled the time when the photo of Rosinandina, whom he had adopted as his godson, died in a pool of blood in the snow came to him, a look of sorrow flashed in his eyes.

The sadness and choking he felt at that time are still vivid in his memory.

Doflamingo paused for a moment upon hearing this.

The faint smile that had been on his face vanished completely. "Straw Hat Boy, is that your name?"

His tone was very calm, and his face showed no emotional fluctuation.

"I didn't expect you to be so well-informed, even more so than the king of the underworld news and the queen of the entertainment district!"

"Perhaps your title shouldn't be 'Straw Hat Boy,' 'Gossip King' might be more suitable for you."

Although there was a hint of mockery in his tone, everyone present could hear and feel the deep killing intent contained within Doflamingo's words.

145. Surprise! [Item-Fruit]?! He showed off his skills in front of so many big shots!!

Luffy not only knows that he killed his useless father, but also that he betrayed his younger brother.

More importantly, he also knew that he had cut off his useless, good-for-nothing father's head and given it away as a gift.

Gifts are meant to be given away. Who should I give them to? I gave them to those Celestial Dragons' pigs before.

But those pigs still refused to accept him and kicked him out.

If Straw Hat Luffy even knew that he had given his useless father's head as a gift, then there's no reason he wouldn't know that he has Celestial Dragon blood flowing through his veins.

A fledgling pirate actually knows such a secret about me...

For a moment, Doflamingo's fingers began to unconsciously rub together.

That was a sign that he wanted to kill someone!

"What are you saying? I'm going to..."

"Shut up, Luffy!!"

Before Luffy could finish speaking, the Den Den Mushi started making noise again.

"Don't you think you've caused us enough trouble already?!"

"Who greets someone like that before? Are you afraid they'll hold a grudge against us?!"

"What did we do to offend you that you're torturing us like this?!"

The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) emitted waves of frantic sounds, perfectly capturing Nami's utter helplessness.

"But what we're about to do will probably offend him to death."

Zoro, standing nearby, chuckled indifferently, "Anyway, we've already defeated his subordinates and formed a grudge. If we can resolve it, great; if not, it doesn't really matter."

"Anyway, it's not like we haven't defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea before."

These somewhat arrogant words caused the various maritime bigwigs present to have different expressions.

The marines, in particular, instinctively looked at Hawkeye Mihawk, Kuma, and Doflamingo who were present.

The first two didn't react much and remained seated as usual.

But Doflamingo~

"Wow, wow, wow, wow, you're so confident?!"

He chuckled darkly, a hint of gloom in his voice, "Then I'd like to see how you're going to defeat me!"

"You know, I'm not like that crocodile who hangs out in the first half of the Grand Line's paradise!!"

"and?"

His eyes, hidden behind his flashy pink sunglasses, were fixed on the Den Den Mushi in front of him.

"I'd also like to know what you're planning to do next to completely offend me?!"

After Doflamingo finished speaking, there was no more voice on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, as if someone was busy doing something rustling around.

However, he soon found out what the other side was doing.

The next second, under the focused gazes of Doflamingo and the many other maritime heavyweights present, they saw...

Suddenly, a figure appeared from the microphone that Doflamingo was holding.

To everyone's astonishment, a human body miraculously emerged from the microphone!

"Bellamy?!"

Looking at the messy, golden hair and the face that had been pinched and was somewhat deformed but still recognizable.

Doflamingo raised an eyebrow, his shout a mixture of surprise and expectation.

As expected, since Luffy is currently using Bellamy's Den Den Mushi to contact him, it's only natural that Bellamy would be defeated.

Surprisingly, after Bellamy was knocked down, he was brought back to them.

Could this kind of technique be the power of some kind of Devil Fruit...?

While Doflamingo was pondering there~

"This guy is one of your subordinates, right? He was annoying, coming up to bother us right away and trying to do something bad, so we took him down." The Den Den Mushi was picking its nose very vividly, perfectly portraying Luffy's nonchalant and somewhat arrogant demeanor at this moment.

"Since they're your subordinates, then you, as their captain, should discipline them properly. Hmm, that's settled."

"Clap."

After saying that, the Den Den Mushi hung up the signal, lowered its head, and stopped making any sound.

The entire room fell silent.

The group first looked at the Den Den Mushi that had been disconnected, and then at Bellamy, who had suddenly appeared and was lying on the ground.

For a moment, the atmosphere inside the venue became unusually quiet.

"The ability to send people from the other end of a Den Den Mushi to our side..."

The silence was first broken by Sengoku, who calmly stared at Bellamy on the ground and said softly.

"This shouldn't be a Devil Fruit ability..."

The Chief of the General Staff, He, standing beside him, also shook his head and slowly spoke:

"I remember that the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates was a prop master who had many strange gadgets at his disposal."

"If it's one of those tools he has, he might actually be able to do it..."

"but?"

Chief of the General Staff Tsuru asked with a hint of doubt, "Where did he get those props?!"

"I don't recall any Paramecia-type Devil Fruits having a 'Item-Item Fruit' ability?"

"But if it's not the power and ability granted by Devil Fruits, could it be technology?!"

The naval staff officer beside him subconsciously echoed Tsuru's point of view, but he himself shook his head:

"No, it can't be technology. There's no technology in the world that can do that yet!!"

"Even if such a thing existed, it would only appear within the Navy and the World Government, in Dr. Vegapunk's hands!!"

The other naval officer also spoke with certainty, prompting the surrounding admirals to nod in agreement.

Indeed, Vegapunk is widely recognized as the most brilliant and talented scientist in the world.

Therefore, if any amazing black technology has indeed appeared on the high seas, it can only be the work of Vegapunk.

Thus, the power of Devil Fruits was rejected, and advanced technology was deemed impossible.

So this person, who has gradually gained fame, has now shown off this skill at this important meeting in front of many bigwigs.

[Props Maker] Link...

While many powerful figures pondered how he possessed such a peculiar tool to achieve this, they also deeply imprinted his name in their minds.

"Take this pirate away."

At Tsuru's command, naval soldiers immediately stepped forward to take Bellamy, who was lying on the ground unconscious and unaware of anything, away.

However~

"Sizzle!!"

A faint sound of fine wires cutting echoed in the room.

despair?!!

Then came the clanging of metal against metal, echoing throughout the room.

"how……"

Doflamingo looked up at the expressionless Tsuru, his longtime rival, who stood in front of Bellamy, his arm now completely black.

"Are you going to stop me, Lieutenant General Tsuru?!"

Several bulging veins slowly appeared on his forehead, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry at this moment.

"I just want to remind you that this is the World Government's territory, not your pirate territory where you can draw your own lines and act as you please."

Tsuru withdrew her hand, which had just blocked Doflamingo's resentful attack for Bellamy, and returned to her previous aged and decrepit appearance, saying leisurely:

"This is not a place for you pirates to run wild!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, some of the naval personnel present also quietly stood up and placed their hands on their waists.

This is the World Government's home turf!!

If Doflamingo is allowed to run rampant here, their reputation will be utterly ruined.

Inside the room, a pirate killed another pirate right in front of so many marines—it was a blatant slap in their faces!

"He's just a trashy pirate, is it really that big of a deal?"

Doflamingo's fingers were rubbing together, indicating that he had not given up on the idea of ​​killing him.

Bellamy, that good-for-nothing, made him lose face in front of everyone and was even mocked and ridiculed by a group of rookie pirates.

He was determined to settle this score with Bellamy, the petty thug he had taken in so casually and who hadn't cared about his life or death! Only by killing him could he calm his resentment and murderous intent.

"Any pirate who appears before our navy will have their fate decided by our navy!!"

Crane did not answer. Instead, 657 Sengoku, who was sitting there, retorted angrily with a blank expression.

Luffy's words reminded Sengoku of the tragically deceased Rosinante.

He has absolutely no goodwill towards Doflamingo right now!

Moreover, rescuing Bellamy not only disgusts Doflamingo, but also allows them to question him.

What kind of conflict happened between him and the Straw Hat Pirates on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, and how was he defeated?

And most importantly, how was he transmitted from the Den Den Mushi's receiver?

If they could know this, it might bring about a qualitative leap in their navy's technological capabilities!

If their navy were to obtain a method that allows them to reach the other end of a phone call with just one phone call...

Perhaps, a major shift in the global landscape is about to occur!

Therefore, Bellamy is no longer just a small-time pirate.

He has become a breakthrough the Navy is looking for!

Under these circumstances, the Navy naturally wouldn't allow Doflamingo to cause any more trouble!

Seeing that the Navy's number one and number two figures had come down to show their stance, it was clear that they wanted to take Bellamy away.

Even though he was very unhappy, Doflamingo still suppressed his inner turmoil and murderous intent.

Without giving Bellamy another glance, he sat back down.

"that……"

At this moment, seeing that the atmosphere inside the room had gradually calmed down, the person who had been standing silently on the balcony...

Having witnessed everything that had happened, Lafayette finally spoke:

"I wonder if I can..."
