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

Jonathan spoke slowly.

"I never expected that the Commander would know my name. I am truly flattered."

Link said that, but he didn't look surprised at all.

"I just can't figure out your purpose?"

Jonathan wiped his mouth, crossed his arms, and walked out.

"My fortress is located in a remote area, and there are no islands that the log pointer points to nearby, nor are there any strange treasure legends in the vicinity."

"Furthermore, I had previously contacted the naval branch, and there was no pursuit operation in the nearby waters where they might have driven us over."

"So, what is your purpose in coming here, and how did you suddenly arrive?"

This was the main question he had been pondering all along, and he couldn't help but ask it after meeting Link.

"Have we arrived here?"

Link thought for a moment, "It should be considered an accident, I guess."

"Accident?"

"Hmm, you've managed this fortress very well, Commander."

Link shook his neck. "To be honest, it's rare to see a naval base with this kind of appearance. I've really learned something new this time."

"Now that you've discovered me, it's time to leave. Farewell (Wang Qianhao)."

"Want to leave?"

Upon hearing this, Jonathan chuckled and took a step forward. "That's not something you can decide."

"You're wrong about that."

Link clapped his hands and said with a smile, "It really is up to me to decide this."

"Um?!"

Jonathan was taken aback by what he heard.

"There are more than a thousand soldiers in this fortress, as well as some other miscellaneous personnel. Feeding them every day is quite a task."

Link thumped his shoulder. "Cooking for so many people is quite a tiring job."

"What did you say?!"

Jonathan's previously nonchalant expression instantly darkened. "You mean, give those soldiers..."

"It's poisoned, isn't it, neighbor!"

"No, no, no, I would never stoop to such a despicable act as poisoning."

Link waved his hand. "Although I am a pirate, I have my own principles. Don't lump me in with those guys."

Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "Then you..."

"It's nothing, I just mentioned it casually."

Link laughed and said, "Then I just casually added some seasoning that wouldn't affect the taste."

Seasoning?!

[The previous content has been mostly revised and now flows smoothly; the plot is no longer problematic! Luckily, I didn't overthink Luffy's abilities, and I guessed correctly! As a die-hard One Piece fan, I'm proudly standing there with my hands on my hips!]

182 All down! The end and departure, Link's left-behind recipe! [Regarding the Sun King's arrangements for the Nika Fruit]

Jonathan's heart, which had finally settled down, jumped again. "What did you put there?!"

"Don't be so nervous~"

Link waved his hand, "It's just some ingredients that make people sleep very soundly."

It has to be said that there are too many fantastical things and items in the world of One Piece.

I still remember in the movie "The Island of Fog", Lieutenant General Kongming, who was stationed there, used the island's specialty, the "Useless Mushroom".

Using a competitive eating contest as an excuse, they tricked Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, the three strongest fighters, into eating.

This turned them into spineless, listless losers, like useless good-for-nothings.

There are also many strangely shaped mushrooms in the Amazon Lily and the matriarchal society on Amazonia Island.

I ate the mushroom that always smiles, the mushroom that always cries, and the mushroom that grows mushrooms all over its body...

In short, it has all sorts of strange and wonderful species.

Link borrowed some powder made from this material from Chopper, a powder that could weaken and deplete the body.

I just sprinkled some into the soups and sauces.

However, this amount is definitely enough.

"you……"

Jonathan wanted to say something, but suddenly he also felt dizzy and disoriented.

He got infected too!!

The more I enjoyed my meal, the more dizzy I feel now.

Even though he was a lieutenant general, he was still flesh and blood.

Before even meeting Luffy, the Fifth Emperor two years from now, he was almost poisoned by the skin of a purple fish caught from the sea.

This is Luffy, who previously had the Magellanic Toxin Antibody and was even immune to Caesar Clown's gas poison, yet he collapsed on a piece of fish skin...

If it weren't for Sanji's older sister Reiju arriving in time to suck out the poison, Luffy, who was already seeing the Yellow Springs and the River Styx due to the poison, would have truly gone to see God ahead of time.

Jonathan felt a wave of weakness and powerlessness wash over him, and his face turned unusually pale.

"Let's go, Luffy."

After getting everything ready, Link beckoned Luffy and headed towards the fortress outside.

"Thank you so much for your hospitality during this time."

Luffy thanked the chefs in the kitchen who had also been drugged by Link, and then happily followed in Link's footsteps.

The chefs could only watch helplessly as their imagined companions, who were now actually pirates, left so easily.

Check it out!!!

Not only in the canteen and kitchen, but also at the outposts of the outer fortress, the guards were already in a state of disarray.

"This is your doing, isn't it, First Mate?"

Not long after Luffy and Link came out, they ran into Robin, who had also given up her disguise.

Holding a thick stack of books and documents, she smiled and said, "I saw that the guards had all fallen, so I just grabbed some."

You call that taking "a little"? Your skill level is about the same as Nami the Cat Burglar's!

Not only Robin, but Link and his crew also encountered Nami on their journey, who, true to her nature, was trying to take advantage of the Navy's inventory to steal something.

They're already so rich, yet they're still thinking about such paltry sums; it's really beneath them.

Usopp, standing nearby, also morally despised Nami, and then got a few beatings from her.

And then there's Sanji, who almost appears out of nowhere when he sees Nami and Robin, suddenly showing up to express his true feelings.

And then there's Zoro, who, quite miraculously, appeared out of nowhere after a few twists and turns, right in front of Link and the others—he was lost again.

Thus, the Straw Hat Pirates are now complete... no, they're still missing one member.

Then everyone remembered that there was still one Chopper left.

After searching for a while, they finally found Chopper in the medical room.

彳、1 inch????

"Wait?! Did you cook these dishes, Link?!"

Even though he was extremely weak, it didn't stop Chopper from exclaiming in shock as he lay there.

"No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I said these dishes tasted like this..."

So, the medicine I concocted made me sick?!

This is truly a matter of karma, and retribution is inevitable!

"It's because Link's cooking smells so good that I couldn't resist having a few more bites."

Chopper, who was being carried on Zoro's head, couldn't help but drool over the thought of all the dishes he had eaten.

"I really love those sweet potato balls and fried ice cream..."

"Hey! Chopper, you can talk, but don't drool on my head!!!"

Amid Zoro's complaints, the group left the fortress.

"Alright, brothers, let's march toward our goal, Water Seven!!"

After boarding the Going Merry, amidst Luffy's cheers, they headed towards the exit of G8 Fortress.

Soon, it disappeared into the vast blue sea.

A while passed like this~

The fortress, which had fallen silent, then came back to life.

"Wow, that's really unexpected."

Inside the office, Jonathan slapped his forehead, "I've been tricked."

"I should have realized that if we were to target all the soldiers, the kitchen that supplies the food would be the best option."

"After all, no one in this world goes without food."

Jonathan looked at the wanted poster on the table and said, "For the vice-captain, Link, to have such abilities, the Straw Hat Pirates are indeed not to be underestimated."

"Lieutenant General, are we just going to let this go like this?!"

Drake, his face flushed, stood at his desk and said, "Let me lead the troops out in pursuit!!"

He felt deeply humiliated to be so easily defeated by pirates!

"They've been gone for quite some time now, and we don't know where they've gone. Even if you try to catch up, you won't be able to find them."

Jonathan waved his hand, stopping Drake from acting impulsively, which was clearly a bit too much for him.

"hateful!!"

Drake gritted his teeth and had no choice but to give up.

"But is this also a good thing?"

Jonathan stroked his chin. "Then Baron Fortress has been quiet and peaceful for too long. It's time to ignite the fighting spirit of those young soldiers."

"Aren't they all ashamed and humiliated by this? Then let them train hard and try to get revenge the next time they encounter pirates and that group."

"Yes!!"

Drake responded loudly.

The one who felt most ashamed was not him, but the person in the most sacred place in Nabalon: the kitchen.

"Damn it, how could those two be pirates?!"

As the cooks picked the vegetables, they lamented, "We didn't even notice!!"

"There's nothing we can do about it. His skills are just too good; no one would even think of using pirate tactics."

"Yeah, and his demeanor is nothing like that of a pirate. Who would have thought that you can judge a book by its cover?!"

"His cooking was indeed delicious, but we were really careless and got ripped off by him."

"Sigh, who can argue with that? Perhaps the one who's most heartbroken here is Jessica, right?"

The chefs chatted for a while, then all looked at Jessica, who was instructing two chefs, one tall and one short.

"You can't even cut a potato, let alone peel a carrot?!"

"Can't even hold a pot steady? Can't even hold a spoon?!"

"You can't even tell the difference between sugar and salt, what are you even doing?!"

Jessica was spraying water wildly with a spatula in one hand, and kept hitting the two men on the head, leaving them with big bumps.
