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

Robin was the one who felt this most deeply.

As he watched Link's retreating figure, a pang of shared sorrow and pity flashed in his beautiful eyes.

"Okay, let's not talk about those unpleasant things anymore?"

Seeing the heavy atmosphere in the room, Link clapped his hands and changed the subject.

"After these days of hard work, I've finally finished something really good!!"

When everyone's eyes turned to him again, Link's hands suddenly began to tumble.

Ten test tubes, resembling medicine, appeared in his hand.

"this is?"

Everyone looked with curiosity at the bright yellow liquid inside the test tubes.

"Is it Link's gadget again?"

"No, this really isn't a prop."

Link handed out a bottle of potion to everyone while smiling and saying:

"This is the final product obtained by grinding and adjusting the [Millennial Dragon Bone] and the [Golden Horn] of the Qilin Lion, and through my repeated testing and experiments."

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

"I call it the [Talent Potion]!!"

"【Talent Potion】?"

The Straw Hat crew repeated the name again.

That's right, the potion Link took out was the finished product made from [Millennial Dragon Bone] and [Golden Horn]!!

This powerful potion is made by combining the most precious parts of the two most mythical beasts in the world.

Since obtaining the recipe for combining these two parts from the Seven-Colored Mist, recorded by CPO agents.

During this period, besides adventuring, Link has been repeatedly mixing and experimenting with the [Genius Helmet] and [Efficiency Enhancement Pill].

Finally, in the last two days, we have produced a total of ten tubes of the finished product!

What are the effects of this medicine?

When Chopper, who was a doctor, received the vial of medicine, he unscrewed the cap and prepared to smell it.

His profession subconsciously gave him the urge to study it.

However~

Before Chopper could even bring his nose close to the tube, he saw Luffy pull off the cap and pour all the golden liquid inside into his mouth.

Chopper...??III”

"Hey, Luffy!!"

He immediately jumped up from the ground. "Link hasn't said how to use this medicine yet, whether it's for internal or external use, how much to use each time, or at what time to drink it."

Chopper, being a doctor, was both anxious and angry, rolling his eyes and baring his sharp teeth as he roared.

"Before taking your medicine, listen carefully to the instructions the prescription writer gives!!"

"Ah, really?"

Luffy thought for a moment, then looked at Link, "So how do you take this medicine? Hiccup?"

Chopper: "..."

You've already finished eating and you're still burping, what's the point of asking now?!

Chopper looked at Luffy with utter despair.

Fortunately, Link's reply gave him a slight sense of relief.

"Just like you did, pour all the medicine inside into your mouth."

Link addressed Chopper and Luffy, as well as the others who were examining the potion:

"Don't worry, this medicine is very mild and won't have any side effects."

"As for its effects, they're quite simple."

Link held up an index finger and waved it slightly at everyone. "That is to improve physical strength and talent! Physical strength, as the name suggests, is to make the body stronger."

For example, a body that was originally weak will become strong and muscular.

It works similarly to the super soldier serum used by Captain America in Marvel.

Of course, it certainly won't be that obvious, because...

The maximum effect of this medicine lies in enhancing the body's natural talents!

You need to know that in the world of One Piece, if you want to become stronger quickly, there are three things you can never escape.

The first one, naturally, is the strange ability of Devil Fruits.

Secondly, there is the bloodline from ancestors and fathers, like the D clan.

Third, and very rare, are those who are already quite gifted.

The most typical example of this type is Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors.

With a body nicknamed "Iron Balloon," he could easily defeat legendary warriors of the giant race at a young age.

Moreover, after having so many children, apart from becoming plump and bloated, her strength remains terrifying.

The source of her immense power is naturally her formidable talent as a steel balloon! (Corpse)

184. Nika's Devil Fruit power awakened? Luffy, you didn't eat the Gum-Gum Fruit!

Even before obtaining the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Whitebeard possessed considerable strength and was already considered a monster at that time.

And then there's Hawkeye, whose unparalleled talent in swordsmanship has made him the undisputed world's greatest swordsman.

And Coby and Helmeppo 2, who are almost forgotten.

Before they followed Garp, to put it bluntly, they were both good-for-nothings.

Luffy and his crew only began training with Garp after they entered the Grand Line.

In less than half a year, he underwent a complete transformation, with changes occurring not only in his body but also in his will.

His own strength is enough to make him a good member of the lower ranks of the Navy.

He can also easily use the "Shave" and "Moon Step" techniques from the Six Styles.

Two years later, he mastered both types of Haki and became a colonel in the Navy's secret special forces.

At that time, he was only eighteen years old, a year younger than Luffy.

An eighteen-year-old naval captain, and two years ago he was a short, weak, and useless piece of trash...

This clearly demonstrates just how crucial talent is for ordinary people struggling on this vast ocean!

Giants possess immense strength and enormous bodies, and have a lifespan of over three hundred years.

The Mink Tribe can use friction-based electric shocks, while the Fish-Men can breathe freely underwater and are born with ten times the strength of humans.

The influence of the "687" talent is evident in various aspects, including race!

Looking at the entire anime, there are currently only two known ways to change one's talent.

One is the Kamabakka Kingdom, a kingdom of transvestites, which offers nourishing dishes that can build up a human body, known as the "Ninety-Nine Vitality Menu."

Of course, the effect of this construction is also very limited; otherwise, Sanji would have taken off long ago after eating this kind of food for two years.

Another type is the unique Devil Fruit ability similar to the "Op-Op Fruit," which modifies the human body to the point that even innate talents can be altered.

However, this is practically impossible and only exists in the realm of imagination.

Therefore, trying to change talent, something you are born with and given to you by God, is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

But the potions Link has are precisely what can do just that!

In other words, defying fate!

Well, it might be a bit far-fetched, but it's pretty close.

It can transform those with weak physical talents, and it can also enhance the talents of those who are already quite gifted.

In short, it's a good thing that benefits everyone.

"That's it..."

After listening to Link's explanation, Luffy smacked his lips, savoring the taste of the potions.

"I just think the taste is alright."

He glanced at the potions left in Link's hand after he had distributed them to his companions.

Excluding Merry, who was unable to eat, there were nine people on the ship, including Link's disciple, Ah Niu, who was a kung fu sea cow.

Among these people, Link had already drunk some.

Yes, Link tested the potion on himself as a guinea pig the moment it was prepared.

It was precisely because he confirmed the effectiveness that he dared to give it to his group of friends.

Currently, Link has two bottles of medicine left.

Luffy has clearly set his sights on the remaining ones as well.

"One bottle of medicine is enough; drinking more will not provide any benefit."

Seeing through Luffy's thoughts, Link glanced at him sideways and put away the potions in his hand.

It's not like new crew members won't join in the future. They've all been given to Luffy now, so there's no stock left. This stuff is a consumable item; once you use one bottle, there's one less left.

"Well……"

Luffy blinked, about to say something.

Suddenly, a strange halo of light rose up above his body.

The wooden deck of the Going Merry beneath my feet had turned into rubber in an instant. And at that very moment, directly above the distant Red Line, in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Inside the flower room of Pongel Castle, which symbolizes the highest power in the world.

A tall, slender figure, who was strolling among the flowers and fluttering butterflies, suddenly paused.

As if sensing something, the entire body shrouded in darkness shifted slightly, and a pair of emotionless eyes looked in one direction.

That's exactly where the USS Merry is currently sailing!

Above the sea.

"Huh? What's wrong with me?!"

Luffy touched his body, which had returned to its original form, and rubbed his head repeatedly, exclaiming in surprise.

Although it was only a brief moment, the changes in Luffy's features were clearly visible.

Everyone, including Luffy himself, saw it clearly.

"Link, is there really nothing wrong with this potion?"

Usopp shook the test tube in his hand; he had just been thinking of opening it and drinking it into his mouth.

But upon seeing Luffy's transformation, he paused and asked a question.

"If Link says there's no problem, then it's basically equivalent to no problem at all."

Nami, as always, maintained her trust in Link's reliability, saying, "Then it must be Luffy's problem!!"

She didn't hesitate to pin the blame on Luffy, which was indeed the case:

"Hey, Luffy, did you eat something weird again? That's why it reacted with the medicine you just drank!"

"No~"

Luffy was also a little confused. "I just ate the food Sanji made."

"Do you have any other unusual or uncomfortable feelings?"

"uncomfortable……"

Luffy first scratched his face, then looked at his hands.
