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

La!

Several white, bullet-like balls of yarn flew towards him.

But it's always there!

Lafayette also cleverly twirled the scepter in her hand, deflecting all the incoming projectiles.

"This is not a place where lowly fry or scum could get involved..."

Doflamingo, who already disliked Lafayette, now saw him as a perfect target for his venting after he spoke.

146 [Electronic Power Transmission Adapter]! Blackbeard's utter bewilderment! I'll remember this!

"Oh dear, it seems the situation is not good."

Seeing Doflamingo's murderous and ferocious face, and noticing that he was gradually going mad, Laffitte pursed his lips.

A look of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

Facing the killing intent displayed by a powerful figure of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, renowned throughout the seas, is a pressure that ordinary people cannot withstand.

"It seems this mission has reached a hellish level of difficulty..."

Lafayette thought to himself, then subconsciously looked at the Den Den Mushi that had hung up the signal.

Before he came here, he was prepared for the job to be difficult, but he still came here resolutely despite the danger.

This is because it has a very important, even crucial, impact on the Blackbeard Pirates' future actions.

Things weren't going very smoothly, but at least nothing went wrong.

Until Luffy and his crew made that phone call... his current situation became quite precarious.

The Straw Hat Pirates, are they Luffy, the Straw Hat Boy, and Link, the Props Maker?!

I'm making a mental note of this!

And when Lafayette became the target of Doflamingo's wrath...

Inside the tavern in Mogu Town on Jaya Island.

"Wow, Link's amazing! He actually teleported them there!!!"

Luffy praised it while holding a peculiar gadget in his arms, refusing to let go and examining it closely.

It was a pale purple object with an outward-flaring opening, resembling a collar worn around a dog's neck when it's out. Inside the opening were numerous buttons and circuits.

"Just by putting someone in this hole and stuffing them in, they vanished into thin air and were transported to the other side!!"

Luffy stared at the gadget with sparkling eyes, "So, no matter where I go, as long as I have a Den Den Mushi, Sanji can bring me meat right to my doorstep?"

Well, that's Luffy for you. The first thing he thought about when he saw this gadget was how to make it easier for him to eat.

Furthermore, the use of props in the dining scene is quite high.

"By the way, Link, what's the name of this gadget again?!"

Luffy tried to recall the item's name, but the thought of its long name gave him a headache, as he felt he couldn't remember it.

"It"

Link picked up the drink the shopkeeper handed him and took a sip. "It's called [Object Power Transmission Adapter]."

"Ah, right, that's the name. It's... never mind, anyway, it's a really weird phone gadget!"

Luffy delivered the decisive blow with his hammer.

Prop: [Object Power Transmission Adapter], also known as [Microphone Transmitter].

Description: Simply plug this adapter into the telephone handset to make a call, and you can transfer or retrieve anything.

The official name is the former, but it is basically used on telephone microphones.

Doraemon used this gadget to deliver the documents his father had forgotten to bring, while Nobita, wanting to show off the gadget's function, used it to pull Shizuka's skirt over.

Well... that's very much in line with Nobita's nature.

They also helped Dekisugi successfully catch the guy who called him every night, making it impossible for him to concentrate on his studies and causing his grades to drop.

That student was ranked second in the class. Because Dekisugi had always held the first place, they wanted to use this method to lower his grades so he could take over.

This is supposedly a country where people live a comfortable life, yet they already have this kind of harem-like intrigue in elementary school~~~

Link just used this gadget to send Bellamy to Doflamingo's hands by attaching it to a Den Den Mushi.

"Was the sound coming from the phone just now... part of a meeting?"

Zoro was also there, gulping down the drinks the owner handed him, "I feel like something's off."

Yes, if I'm not mistaken, they're having a meeting over there to discuss who should take over the position of Shichibukai after they defeated Crocodile.

If nothing unexpected happens, Sengoku the Buddha, Tsuru, Kuma, Mihawk, and Doflamingo will all be there participating.

Goodness gracious! Anyone who knew would think this was a meeting of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but someone who didn't would think it was a zoo gathering!

Link glanced at Nami, who had turned her grief and anger into appetite and was eating the fruit platter the owner had brought over.

I've decided not to tell Nami this news.

Otherwise, she might have been so excited and happy that she went crazy.

After learning from the boss that the old man Montblanc Kurike, who talked a lot about dreams, might know something about Sky Island on the other side of Jaya Island.

The group thanked them and then took their leave.

"They are truly an unimaginable group of people."

The boss watched the group's departing figures, then glanced at the Bellamy Pirates who had been beaten to a pulp by Zoro, and couldn't help but shake his head.

So why cause such a big dispute? Wouldn't it be better to just be a pub owner like him and avoid all the fighting?!

Even if we sometimes lose money because we get smashed to pieces by a group of pirates, it's still better than being almost dead now, right?

and……

The boss also came out and picked up all the money that the pirates, who had brought out all their belongings because of Link's conditions, had thrown on the ground.

Sometimes, they can still earn a considerable sum of money.

The problem is that this amount of money is a bit too much. It's like having a treasure that invites trouble. It's better to temporarily go to another island to avoid the limelight for a while, and then come back when things have calmed down here.

I have just enough money, and after working so hard for so long, I really deserve a break.

While the owner was once again marveling at his brilliant decision to open the pub and making plans for a break, on the other side...

"What exactly is going on?!"

At the street corner, Blackbeard Teach, who was preparing to gather his companions for a big battle, was stunned by the scene before him.

"Burgess, Doc Q, are you two alright?!"

"It's alright, Captain, cough cough cough..."

"You're alright?! You're both covered in soot, I can even smell the meat... and you're both coughing up blood, your voices are incredibly weak, you know?!" Blackbeard Teach stared, utterly bewildered, at his two companions lying on the ground, their bodies charred black, blood oozing with a meaty aroma. Their appearance couldn't be described as merely pitiful; it was utterly gruesome!

"What on earth happened?!"

Blackbeard Teach simply plopped down on the ground, looking at his two capable subordinates with a somewhat speechless expression.

I was originally planning to cause trouble for Captain Ace's brother and his crew, but now it seems like it's good enough that my own men don't cause any problems.

"nothing……"

Doc Q lay there weakly, his tongue lolling out, "It's all fate's choice."

"Destiny..."

Upon hearing this, Blackbeard Teach recalled his encounter with Luffy and his crew inside the mansion, and how Luffy, despite constantly contradicting him, held ideals that resonated with his own.

"Hahaha, maybe it really really is fate's choice!!"

Blackbeard Teach opened his toothless mouth and laughed loudly.

"Since that's the case, then I'll let it go this time. But next time we meet, I'll be taking your heads, Straw Hat Luffy and your first mate!!!"

After leaving the hotel, Luffy and Link headed straight for the port where the Going Merry was located.

After returning to the ship and reuniting with their companions, they recounted their adventures and experiences. The group then decided to follow in the direction of the strange old man to search for O, but...

'Have they provoked another Shichibukai?!'

Usopp and Chopper, the two cowardly members of the trio, stood there with their mouths agape, as if struck by lightning and frozen in place like statues.

"yes……"

Nami, one of the three cowards, was filled with bitterness whenever she thought about this, and tears streamed down her face.

"I just defeated a sand crocodile, and now I've provoked a [sea rogue]..."

The future world and the road ahead appear bleak in the eyes of Nami, Usopp, and Chopper.

But no matter how helpless and heartbroken you are, there's nothing you can do.

Given their captain's talent for stirring up trouble, the situation was already set in stone, and they had no choice but to accept it.

And so, the Going Merry, carrying the cowardly trio with heavy hearts, Luffy who remained optimistic and didn't care about any of this, and Link and the others who were also indifferent to it, set off towards their destination.

Montbran Cullicue is a descendant of Montbran Rolando, the protagonist of the "Great Liar Rolando" story, who lived 400 years later.

He had short, golden hair, a chestnut-shaped hair on his head that resembled that of his ancestors, and a face that was remarkably similar to (Wang Li Zhao) diamond-shaped.

Four hundred years ago, his ancestor Montblanc Noland was executed by the king for proclaiming the existence of the Golden Land and for never denying its existence until his death, thus bearing the eternal infamy of being called the "Liar King".

The descendants of the Montblanc family were also viewed differently because of this incident, and they went to great lengths to clear their ancestors' name.

Montblanc Kurike himself came to the island of Jaya in order to prove the existence of the Golden City and to dispel the stigma attached to the Montblanc family.

Because Roland guessed before his death that the Golden City had sunk into the sea, Kulik, after arriving there, often risked long dives to search for the truth, which led him to develop a rather serious decompression sickness.

He was also a heavy smoker, and his ashtray was often piled high with cigarette butts.

But no matter what, he was a very brave, strong, indomitable, and persistent man who never bowed to fate.

Well, the above impression of Montblanc comes from the salvage fleet we encountered at sea, the gorilla who chatted happily with Luffy, and his brother, the ape.

They call themselves the Saruyama Alliance Army, and their team's commander-in-chief is none other than Montblanc Kurike, who happens to be the boss that the gorilla mentioned to Luffy before.

On his way to Montblanc Kurike, Luffy happened to encounter the two brothers, a gorilla and a human.

In addition to these things, they also told Luffy and his crew about the Golden City.

147 [Enter the Shoes in the Storybook]! I know where the Golden Land is! Shall we go see the Liar King?!

That's a well-known story in Beihai, a place "made up" by Montblanc Noland, the "Liar King," a place where gold is everywhere.

Nami was initially excited upon hearing about the place, but was somewhat disappointed when she learned it was just Noland's "lie".

But... is this really a lie?!

After the Saruyama Alliance and Luffy's crew finished talking, they hit it off immediately and headed together to Kurike's place.

Montbran Kulig lived in a half-house near the coast.

He used wooden planks as one of the missing walls, and incidentally expanded it and painted the castle that appeared in the fairy tale book Rolando as decoration.

In fact, that half of the house was washed ashore in the White Sea by upwelling currents on the central part of Jaya Island.

The house was divided in two because it was located right in the rift zone.

The house actually has two floors, and the other half of the staircase is on the other side of the island of gods in the white sea.

Because of their ape-human relationship, Luffy and his crew met this strange old man who was known for talking a lot about dreams.

He was a tall man with a bare upper body, strong muscles, a tattoo on his right arm, a cigarette in his mouth, and a distinctly angular, diamond-shaped face.

"So, you want to go to the Sky Island?"

Montblanc Kurike, who also looks remarkably like a gorilla, sat on the shore, sizing up Luffy and Link's group.

If the apes and gorillas hadn't praised them so highly, he probably wouldn't have had any interest in chatting at all.

"Yes, diamond-faced uncle, do you know anything about Sky Island?!"

Luffy directly addresses the other person by their appearance.

"I'm not even sure if sky islands actually exist in the sky..."

Kulikai stubbed out his nearly burnt-out cigarette butt in the ashtray.
