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

Moreover, his stomach is quite amazing. After eating a portion of food, it actually shrinks a bit, as if he is digesting very quickly and his body is storing energy.

"It's unbelievable that someone can eat so many portions of our food in one go..."

The chefs were dumbfounded. "This is the first time I've ever seen anything like it."

"one hundred!!"

Luffy tossed the last dish into his mouth, wiped his lips, and, with immense satisfaction, raised his arms high in a triumphant cheer, shouting:

"It's so delicious!!"

"I'm full, I'm satisfied!!"

He was also very frugal, finishing all one hundred portions of food.

“I have no regrets at all… no, there are still a few.”

0. Requesting flowers........

As Luffy watched the Marines scrambling to eat the dishes like chopped chili fish head, his mouth watered once again.

I really want to eat that fish head!!!

You haven't had enough to eat yet?!

The chefs stared at Luffy in shock, especially at his shriveled belly.

Despite having already eaten over a hundred servings of food, her figure hasn't changed at all, and her stomach isn't even bloated.

And surprisingly, I even have an appetite and want to keep eating...

Is this guy a monster?!

The group of chefs first looked at Luffy, and then turned their attention to Link.

Both of them were so young, and one was an amazing chef with incredible skills, while the other had an astonishingly large appetite.

No wonder he came from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise; he's an excellent chef who cooks for those dignitaries.

The chefs in Baron suddenly realized that the rumors they'd heard—that their place was a "small, backwater workshop with chefs a level below who couldn't cook"—were unfounded.

Compared to the two brothers, what they said does seem to make sense.

Although, judging from Luffy and Link's words, actions, and behavior, they don't seem like the kind of people who would say such things.

They were fundamentally different from the nobles; instead, they were like the nobles, having worked their way up from the bottom through their own efforts, giving them a down-to-earth feel.

Most likely, they were misheard or deliberately stirred up trouble to watch the drama unfold, and then they added fuel to the fire or deliberately slandered others to provoke conflict.

After all, the two brothers, especially the handsome young man, are so skilled that they must be top-notch in Mary Geoise, right?

He would certainly be loved by the nobles, and with his excellent skills and handsome appearance, he would naturally attract the jealousy and slander of others.

This is a common occurrence in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise as well.

The two brothers, who have relied on each other since childhood, are a perfect match. The older brother is tenacious and persevering, while the younger brother has a mental disability and just smiles foolishly while eating.

To take care of his younger brother, the older brother, through his extraordinary talent and hard work, gradually developed amazing culinary skills.

Then, he gained the appreciation of a nobleman and came to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, where he won applause and the status and respect he deserved with his skills.

At this time, some envious and jealous people spread rumors and slandered them, which led to the two brothers being estranged from the nobles and driven out of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

They were then essentially exiled and assigned to their remote Nabalon fortress.

Moreover, those scoundrels were not giving up; they spread numerous rumors, attempting to incite conflict between the local chefs and the two brothers…

After imagining such a dramatic palace intrigue and a plot resembling a personal biographical film, many of Nabaron's chefs were suddenly filled with dread and shock.

They were almost used as pawns, which was detrimental to and ostracized the two brothers.

If it weren't for Jessica's decisive decision to settle things with cooking and culinary skills, they might have actually believed the rumors and launched all sorts of attacks and slanders against the two brothers...

The chefs all shuddered at the thought of that scene.

Thank goodness I didn't do that!!

They exchanged a knowing glance, their expressions a mixture of relief and understanding, before turning to look at Link.

Their eyes were filled with admiration and praise for his culinary skills, respect for his unyielding and noble character, sympathy for his tragic experiences, and a kind and compassionate gaze.

179's plot against Luffy's ability? The Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type? Sun King form!!

Yes, once we arrived at their Nabalon Fortress, they were one of our own.

The situation that happened in Mary Geoise will never happen again.

They will treat these two brothers as companions and get along with them sincerely!

Link: "...??!!!"

His face looked very strange.

Even without using Observation Haki or radio waves, he could sense the change in the attitude of the Nabaron chefs towards them.

Especially the way he looked at him, there seemed to be too many complicated things in his eyes that he couldn't understand.

And besides these chefs, the head chef Jessica, who was leading the group, seemed to be staring at him with the same expression.

Well, the reason why the chefs at Baron have such rich imaginations is, of course, because they have an excellent leader.

They all learned from Jessica, which is why they have such amazing divergent thinking.

Therefore, even the chefs under his command could make such connections.

Not to mention their leader, Jessica.

Perhaps in her imagination, Link's background and experiences were so difficult, with his brothers struggling to survive and their lives filled with misfortune...

She couldn't help but look at Link and Luffy, mainly because Link's eyes had softened.

"……let's go!!"

Link felt quite uncomfortable under the intense gazes of the group of chefs, so he patted Luffy on the shoulder, intending to take him away from this abnormal place as soon as possible.

"Thank you so much, thank you for your hospitality!!"

Although he didn't get to eat the food prepared by the so-called chef from the Holy Land, Luffy was already quite satisfied.

And~

He also seemed to have discovered the secret that Link was a true culinary master!

With Link around, Luffy doesn't care about any other skilled chefs.

No matter how powerful he is, can he be more powerful than Link?

Based on the technique Link just displayed, which Luffy didn't understand but which the other chefs considered amazing, he felt he no longer needed to consider it.

Hurry up and take Link back to enjoy the delicious food he's cooked; that's the most important thing to do right now!

Perhaps if he eats a few more meals, his Mythical Zoan-type Nikka form of the Human-Human Fruit will awaken and revive.

Damn, according to the latest intelligence, Luffy didn't eat a Gum-Gum Fruit at all.

Instead, it's given the name and some characteristics of the Gum-Gum Fruit, and is called the [Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type: Nikka Mode]!

(Even the entries on Baidu Baike (Chinese Wikipedia) have been updated and are trending on social media, which is just ridiculous...)

The World Government has been trying to retrieve this Devil Fruit, but it seems to be deliberately escaping the World Government's control; they have never succeeded in obtaining it in the past eight hundred years.

No wonder the Five Elders were so furious when Who's-Who failed to transport the Devil Fruit and it was stolen by Shanks, and they imprisoned this genius.

Shanks was also surprised by Luffy's strong reaction after eating the Devil Fruit, and his willingness to risk an arm for him.

From this more utilitarian perspective, it seems much more reasonable.

After Luffy was beaten by Kaido, he successfully awakened this form and called it his Gear 5.

Then, having awakened this form's ability, he pulled the ground up like rubber, repelling Kaido's heat breath back.

So this also explains why Luffy has such a thick skin, and even though he's often beaten to a pulp, he still manages to stay alive.

Even post-war recovery was so fast, and the so-called secondary side effects caused by accelerated blood flow were almost completely eliminated.

After all, it's the Mythical Zoan power of the Human-Human Fruit. Looking at it this way, Luffy's previous power surges and overpowered abilities, as well as his ability to withstand Enel's lightning, actually seem quite reasonable... What the hell?!

The Gum-Gum Fruit, which has been called that for over twenty years, has suddenly become a Mythical Zoan type, the Human-Human Fruit?!

When others eat Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits, the effects don't always happen immediately, like Orochi and Marco.

Why is it that after Luffy ate this Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, it took him more than ten years to awaken and revive this form?!

Even if it hasn't awakened for eight hundred years, I'll still play?!

The "Gum-Gum...Pistol!" that we've been chanting in anime for over twenty years, are we going to change it to "Nika Nika...Pistol!"?!

Oda clearly stated before that Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit was given to him for fun and entertainment.

But now it seems...

It's obvious that he himself thinks the Gum-Gum Fruit is really trash.

No matter how much you develop it, you can't develop flowers.

Therefore, in the battle against Kaido, without resorting to some powerful cheat codes, it is impossible to turn the tide.

Therefore, Oda forced this extra form into the plot, giving Luffy this new form.

It's obvious that this was a last-minute addition; from beginning to end, except for the last few chapters, no one has ever mentioned this fruit.

The groundwork had already been laid when Foz-Foe began to speak of the existence of the Sun King in previous episodes, but this groundwork seemed too rough and rushed.

Therefore, on this vast ocean, there are no useless Devil Fruits, only useless Devil Fruit users.

All of this is utter nonsense!!

A fruit with inherently powerful abilities and a high ceiling can definitely take a person to even higher and farther peaks!

Do you really think you can reach the top just by having the Rubber-Rubber Fruit?

Haha, how naive!

Oda, the author, has vividly taught all readers a lesson.

Even on the high seas, the hierarchy of strength among Devil Fruits remains remarkably clear!

Even to say~

Even Link was somewhat tempted.

After Luffy's Human-Human Fruit evolved into its Mythical Zoan form, Nikka, he felt his Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability suddenly lost its appeal!

After all, Luffy defeated Enel at full strength using only Nikka's unawakened abilities!

Perhaps, I could also try to get my hands on his Nika Fruit?

"Well then, goodbye!!"

Link, the future Sun King, and Luffy and Jessica passed each other by.

Well, Link wouldn't be surprised if Luffy's nickname changed from "Straw Hat" to "Sun King" someday.

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, Jessica spoke up.

"Are you just going to let me carry this shame for the rest of my life?"

Jessica turned around and smiled at Link's retreating figure:

"I really like you, including your skills and your boldness!"

"From today onwards, you two are our partners!!"

Amidst the friendly smiles of the many chefs at Baron Fortress, Jessica announced this.

"Oh!!"

The chefs of Nabaron cheered.

"Well?"

Link glanced at Luffy, "Hahaha!!"

The latter immediately showed an expression of delight.

Link knew he would stay in the kitchen for a while longer.
