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

"Several people split up and go find the location of the Golden Land... Aaaaaah!!"

Before Luffy could finish speaking, he was struck by a thick tail that swept towards him and sent flying.

Only that series of powerful shouts remained, echoing in the sky.

Everyone: "..."

Well, at least I've finally said what I needed to say.

"Luffy!!"

Seeing this, Zoro was the first to rush out, wanting to find Luffy who had been knocked away.

However~~~

"Where exactly are you chasing after?!"

Nami stared speechlessly at Zoro, who was running in the exact opposite direction from Luffy, and couldn't help but exclaim in frustration:

"Can't you see where you're going?!"

Or rather, your eyes are clearly looking in Luffy's direction, but your body and feet are deliberately moving in the opposite direction.

Do you think you're a clock that runs in the opposite direction?!

With this level of neuromuscular coordination, you think you can become the world's strongest swordsman?! Dream on!!!

The others were also speechless at Zoro's almost incurable terrible sense of direction.

They weren't too worried about Luffy's safety, after all, he had a rubber body, so even if he got hit a few more times, it would only be a scratch, not a pain or injury.

Soon, under the attack of the Lord of the Sky, the group was immediately divided into three groups.

One of the groups consisted of Chopper and Sanji, who used the scent Chopper could smell to track Luffy's movements.

The other group consisted of Nami and Usopp, who went after Zoro.

Nami took the flashy pink coil from Sanji's body.

She believed that since Luffy also possessed it, the two of them shouldn't waste any more resources.

Furthermore, she harbors a deep distrust of Sanji and Luffy's luck.

Having encountered such a BOSS-level monster so soon after setting off on the treasure hunt, it's hard to feel at ease with such bad luck.

As for the last group, it is naturally the powerful combination of Link and Robin.

They split into three groups, heading in different directions but towards the same goal.

The Lord of the Sky, flicking his tongue, looked in the directions where the three groups of people had departed.

Finally, its eyeballs rotated slightly before moving in a certain direction.

The spot where it was swimming forward was exactly the direction Luffy was sent flying!

(cafj) Just as the Lord of the Sky was about to take action, a creature riding a pink and black spotted horse, which looked like a pegasus but also resembled a bird, sped towards them from afar.

On the vehicle carried by this creature, whether bird or horse, stood a figure clad in armor and wielding a long spear.

He appeared to be a tall knight, but from the appearance revealed beneath his armor and mask, and his white hair, it was clear that he was quite old.

This is an elderly man who, instead of enjoying his twilight years somewhere else, came to this island for a compelling reason to fulfill his mission!

And so, with the arrival of this old man and the Straw Hat crew scattering, a full-scale war officially broke out on this island at that very moment!

Including the Straw Hat crew, the priests undergoing the trial, and the Shandians, a total of eighty-two people participated in this "Trial of the Gods".

The so-called "Trial of God" is Enel's way of choosing the victor who survives to the end from among these people. Only that person is qualified to go to the Infinite Land with him.

So many people, but in the end only one winner is chosen...

Does this pattern sound familiar?

Isn't this just a survival battle royale game like PUBG?!

The locked area is the island of Apayado, with a total of 82 players. The game is about who can survive to the end.

The last one standing will have great fortune, get to eat chicken tonight, and travel to the infinite land with Enel.

Furthermore, in the middle of the trial, there are minefields that cannot be trodden, supply packs for those who have been defeated, threatening giant snakes, birds, and dogs, as well as various shellfish-based auxiliary tools and vehicles from the floating islands.

Plus a massive treasure hunt storyline... this is what true romance and gaming should be like!!

It has to be said that One Piece is truly an excellent and ahead-of-its-time work!!

Even a single game or adventure within a chapter of it could potentially possess the essence of a game that would later become a global phenomenon.

It is precisely because of these many factors that have made One Piece a household name and a national anime worldwide. The longer Link stays on this island, the more profound this feeling becomes.

"Whoosh? Whoosh? Whoosh?"

Suddenly, as he walked, the treasure detector in his hand emitted a beeping sound.

"Right here?!"

Link stopped in his tracks on a pure white cloud.

Robin, standing beside him, also turned her gaze away from the giant vines in the distance.

They were now above a layer of clouds, with only thick vines standing tall and stretching out in the distance, seemingly reaching for the sky. "This should be it."

Link also pulled out a serrated knife that was forty meters long... actually not that long.

"Use this [Cloud Cutter] to cut through the clouds and go down."

With that, Link got to work and began to move around.

Prop: [Cloud Cutting Blade].

Description: It can precisely cut and separate clouds.

Also from the chapter "Taking a Nap in Heaven", it is a prop from the same episode as "Solid Cloud Gas".

This weapon on this floating island is even more powerful and effective than any so-called famous sword.

With Link's skillful manipulation, a huge downward passage was quickly opened up in the clouds beneath their feet.

The two walked downwards and soon reached the bottom, where they saw the faint light.

After emerging from the light spot, there is a long passageway.

Unlike the surrounding forest and cloud-like landscape, this passage was covered in moss.

Beneath the moss lies a historical site containing ancient statues!

"These are traces left by history..."

Robin gently stroked the ruins with his fingers, looking at each one with great care.

Behind her, Link followed in her footsteps, moving forward.

Soon, a square exit appeared in front of them.

"this is……"

Robin's pupils suddenly contracted as she walked out first.

Even with her rich experience and her icy composure and expression that were almost unaffected by anything, she was shocked at this moment and briefly lost control.

What appeared before Robin and caused her to lose her composure must have been something extraordinary.

And such a thing does indeed have such weight.

"This is the city that the Shandian people have protected for generations since ancient times..."

Footsteps came from behind, and Link followed, arriving beside Robin.

"This is also the [Golden Land] we are looking for, Shandora."

As Link gazed down at the cities built of gold, he couldn't help but murmur.

Directly in front of them, below, stood a series of buildings constructed and sculpted from gold!

Luxurious, solemn, and grand!

This is the most direct and immediate impression this city gives you!

The legendary city of Shandora, home to the "Golden Land"!

Shandora, a city protected by the people of Shandia for generations, is known by legend and as a land of gold on the sea.

All the buildings in the city were made of gold.

In particular, there is a huge golden bell in the city, and whenever it is rung, the sound of the bell resounds through the sky.

This powerful bell tolled four hundred years ago, guiding Montblanc Noland to the island of Jaya.

Before Noland left, he made a promise with the great warrior Calgra that when he returned next time, he would ring the bell for him once again.

Unfortunately, after being taken to the White Sea from Jaya Island, the bell never rang again.

Because the bell rang once when it flew to the Sky Island four hundred years ago, the Sky Island residents believed it to be the voice of a god.

This led to Jaya Island being taken over by the inhabitants of the Sky Island, and that bell rang forever.

The Shandians launched a fierce attack on Apayado, partly to reclaim their homeland.

On the other hand, and most importantly, is to fulfill the last wish of the great warrior Calgrana.

Ring the golden bell, so that the light of Shandora may never be extinguished!

This is their unwavering belief, and they are willing to sacrifice everything for it!

Just as the name Shandora implies: "a magnificent city"!

"This is the Golden Land..."

Robin murmured as he gazed at the magnificent sight before him.

I thought it would take a long time and a lot of hardship to find it.

Unexpectedly, it appeared before them so easily at this moment.

This made Robin feel slightly dazed, as if it were all unreal.

She couldn't help but turn to look at Link beside her, who was also marveling at the stunning city before him, a sight that was incredibly visually striking.

"What's wrong?"

Seemingly noticing Robin's gaze, Link also looked over.

"……fine."

Robin shook his head slightly.

It seems that following Link all the way, we have basically encountered no more difficulties or obstacles.

Moreover, even these legendary things, things that were previously impossible to find no matter how hard Link searched, he could always easily achieve his goals when he was with Link.

The group, all upgraded to level 163! The bold get rich, the timid starve!! Let's seize this opportunity to make a killing!!

Let dreams no longer be out of reach, turn the impossible into the possible, and transform the mundane into the miraculous...

That's Link for you, always bringing surprises and rewards.

Thinking of this, Robin's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a delicate smile involuntarily curved her lips.

"The city built of gold is the place that the Shandians have guarded for generations..."

With graceful steps and swaying figures, Robin and Link explored this famous legendary city together.

“Shandia, according to that priest, if I remember correctly, they should be a group of people dressed in furs, similar to a tribal group.” Robin looked at the surrounding golden city and said with some doubt, “Then such a group should not have much need for gold.”

"This can be seen from the fact that the city has not suffered any obvious damage, and not even the scraps of gold lying on the ground have been picked up."

She bent down, revealing her exquisite figure in full.

He casually picked up a piece of gold that had fallen from the building and weighed it in his hand.

The ancient, rustic atmosphere contained within it is quite evident.

"Since they don't seem to have much need for gold, and judging from the story of 'Liar Liar,' it seems that even Noland knows about the existence of 'Golden Land,' which means that this gold is not something that can be kept secret."

"Or rather, Shandia and the others weren't particularly interested in this gold, nor was it anything especially important to them."

"Then why are they so desperate to protect this city, vowing to take it back even at the cost of their lives...?"

Robin and Link quickly arrived at the very center of the golden city, where the giant vines were.
