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

"If it were a normal object, it certainly wouldn't happen, but..."

Robin's beautiful eyes fell on the Telepathic Device that Link had taken out:

"If the prop was taken out by the first mate, then everything makes sense."

Yes, Link and his gadgets have the magical ability to turn the impossible into possible.

Therefore, anything abnormal or impossible that happens to Link could actually be normal!

Now, if it was Link and his gadgets who did it, then nothing is surprising.

The Straw Hat crew looked at the machine and then at Link, all nodding in agreement.

Although Robin essentially said nothing, they still found her very convincing.

"Furthermore, I've also heard of a legend about the 'Ship Spirit' that circulates on the high seas."

Robin glanced at Merry, who seemed somewhat nervous and uneasy:

"Holding a small hammer, wearing a raincoat, expressionless, short stature... all the characteristics fit perfectly."

So rather than Link giving the Going Merry a soul, it's more accurate to say that Link used a gadget to summon the Going Merry's ship spirit.

Robin thought to herself, and as a scholar, she guessed the correct answer so easily.

"The spirit of the ship..."

A group of people heard a new legend.

Although they didn't know the details of the legend, both Link and Robin's words corroborated the same thing.

"You... are you truly the soul of the Going Merry?!"

Usopp looked at the other person in disbelief. The little 20-year-old looked so kind to him.

"Um……"

Meeting Usopp's increasingly intense gaze, Merry nodded slightly.

Everyone heard this expression of approval.

"It really is..."

The Straw Hat crew stared blankly at the petite figure, finding it hard to connect it with the Goat's Head Merry beneath their feet.

Regardless of the circumstances, even the slow-witted Luffy and the naive Chopper knew that they were about to welcome a new companion.

No, or rather, a "new" companion who has always been with them, but only recently appeared!

After Link and Robin explained the legend of the ship's spirit, the previous limitations on the Going Merry, and the fact that it could now be summoned using items, everyone...

Only then did they realize that such amazing things existed on the sea!

"It really is Merry!!"

Usopp was howling there, wiping away snot and tears.

"Did you show yourself because you sensed my intimacy and longing for you, and came to see me on purpose?!"

He tried to grab onto Merry's illusory figure, but his hand grasped at nothing.

"What do you mean by 'being close to you and missing you'?! It's clearly for the good of all of us!!"

"That's it!!"

Luffy and Chopper were also jumping around on the sidelines, clearly annoyed.

"Enough with the nagging! I'm the one who usually helps repair the ship. It's already a miracle that I don't complain or cause trouble for you two who only know how to destroy things!!"

Usopp roared with his fangs.

The three of them started arguing about the incredibly stupid question of who was the main reason for Merry's appearance.

The others completely ignored these three idiots; they were all amazed by Merry's existence and marveled at his presence.

They had never seen such a life form before.

Afterwards, with Link's introduction and guidance, Merry greeted each crew member, and then, still somewhat shy, crawled back into the ship's hull.

This timid behavior is quite similar to Chopper's initial fear of humans.

After all, the Going Merry had only been built a few months ago, and the ship spirit Going Merry had only been born recently.

He was just a tiny, newly born life form.

As for his desires... no rush, one must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

The others understood Merry's timidity and all looked to the side at the three idiots whose brains were about to pop out of their sockets.

Well, with these three idiots around, getting along with Merry will be no problem at all.

It's only a matter of time before we can get to spend time with them on a daily basis.

After keeping Merry in mind, everyone began to discuss their next move with Link.

Nami's idea was definitely to have Link use the aircraft control stick to take the Going Merry and escape this damned place with them.

She had no desire to face those self-proclaimed gods and powerful figures.

But what if they saw the enormous blue-white pillar of lightning descending from the sky, and realized that their opponent possessed the ability to monitor the entire island, ensuring their every move was under their watchful eye?

Nami knew that it was a pipe dream for them to leave like this.

They've already defeated the priest and learned some of his secrets; how could they possibly let him leave so easily?!

Even if Link manages to escape with the Going Merry, the enemy will definitely not let them off the hook.

Furthermore, given that the Going Merry has already awakened and revived its soul, if Link were to encounter the opponent's lightning attack while piloting the Going Merry away...

If the Going Merry is damaged significantly, that would be disastrous.

So~

It seems that they only have one last path left to take.

"Do we really have to fight them and become their enemies?!"

Nami collapsed onto the table, utterly dejected, while the magnificent cliff in front of her trembled slightly.

"We finally made it to the Sky Island, but we haven't even been here for two days before we have to fight such a powerful enemy..."

"Are we here for adventure or to fight?!"

She once again felt an urge to regret boarding this pirate ship; why were other people's adventures so fantastical and exciting?

When it came to her, while it was exciting, it was also extremely dangerous!

"Accept reality, Miss Navigator."

Robin, who was already preparing to carry her belongings, smiled and said, "Instead of wallowing in self-pity, let's look forward."

"That's right, it's just a god!!"

Luffy, on the other hand, was full of enthusiasm and confidence: "I will definitely beat him to a pulp!!"

Do as you please...

Nami gave them a blank, lifeless look, indicating that she didn't want to talk to them.

Sanji, standing nearby, comforted her, "Nami, don't forget, the Golden City still exists on this island..."

"Yosh! Let's go and defeat that god together!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Nami suddenly revived, waving her arms and shouting.

other people:"……"

Are you looking for a fight? You're clearly aiming for the gold!

Everyone was rolling their eyes, inwardly criticizing Nami.

She's such a realistic woman.

"Where exactly is that so-called god?"

Zoro touched the scabbard at his waist, then looked at Link.

"The Search Cane can indeed help you find his direction, but only temporarily."

Link said.

"Temporary?"

Usopp didn't understand what Link meant.

"If he really possesses the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, then he would naturally have the ability to teleport with lightning and travel at the speed of light. Combined with his powerful Observation Haki, he could appear anywhere on this island."

Link explained, "I wouldn't be surprised if he appeared in front of us the next second."

"Is that so?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone else immediately tensed up.

And inside the palace located in the very center of the island.

"I didn't expect them to know so much about my abilities."

Enel, reclining on the cloud sofa, ate a bright red apple, his eyes half-closed indifferently.

He was shirtless, with short blond hair, a white headscarf, and long, large earlobes that dangled almost to his chest.

"And then there's the ship-manipulating, magical raft, the target-finding cane, the cloud-condensing spray, the gun with powerful slime, the pill that makes it impossible to disobey and reveal one's true thoughts, the machine that summons magical creatures like the 670 ship spirits..."

Enel was there, taking stock of the items he had sensed one by one.

The interest in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.

"With so many unique effects and interesting features, this is simply the perfect divine servant for me!!!"

"This kind of person is the best candidate for me to accompany you to the Infinite Land!!"

It has to be said that even someone as arrogant, self-centered, extreme, and conceited as Enel couldn't help but be tempted after seeing all the items Link brought out.

Simply put, Link's gadgets are just too amazing, too practical, too convenient, and too awesome!!!

Who could resist the temptation of Doraemon's magic pocket?!

"Let me see if you have anything else interesting!"

Enel's intrigued voice rang out: "If there are any more, even if you lose this [God's Selection] tournament, I will make an exception and take you to the Infinite Land."

"This is a gift from the gods! Hahahaha!!!"

That arrogant laughter, as if bestowing immense glory and favor, echoed within the palace.

"And the Shandians too? It seems they're also planning to go all in this time?"

"After Gezda, Shura was also easily defeated. [War Demon] Vepa? He certainly lives up to the qualifications of a divine servant."

"Then let me go and see what kind of determination and fighting spirit these Shandian people have."

A flash of blue-white lightning illuminated the palace, and Enel's figure vanished abruptly.

Enel, who was already getting restless, also felt the urge to join in the fun.

Of course, what he really wanted was to use his invincible power to descend upon everyone as an absolute and superior being, and enjoy their shocked and desperate gazes.

Then they submitted to him, this great and omnipotent god.

Well, if we were to describe his actions in one word that gets to the heart of the matter, it would be...

To display one's divine power in front of others.

To put it simply, it's about showing off.

He wanted to display his divine demeanor and power in front of this group of people, and then reap those very satisfying glances.

Indeed, this applies to people of all races and in all worlds.

The inherent nature of arrogance is forever etched into the very bones of beings with intelligence and emotion.

Leaving aside Enel's eagerness to try his luck, he went to find the Shandian people to cause trouble.
