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

Then his eyes lit up and he said:

"Were you having a banquet earlier? Why don't you take me with you?!"

The Franky family: "..."

Why does this pirate with a bounty of 100 million seem like a complete idiot?!

Is this guy really that good?!

Some people even expressed doubt.

"I said……"

Franky looked at Luffy with some surprise at his appearance. (Zhao's Zhao)

"You are the straw hat..."

La!

Before he could finish speaking, he saw an arrow flying toward him at great speed.

Snap?!

The suction cup-shaped nozzle struck Franky's shiny blue hair with perfect accuracy, and the arena fell silent for a second.

"Enemy attack!!!"

Zambezi's heart-wrenching roar immediately followed.

"Ahhhhh!!"

When the other henchmen saw their leader being attacked on the forehead, their eyes turned red, and they brandished their weapons, ready to rush forward.

"Oh, no!"

Usopp, who followed in, was immediately shocked.

"You've misunderstood, that wasn't a sneak attack or assault!!"

Nami, standing nearby, anxiously cried out, "We didn't mean any harm!!"

Unfortunately, he was concerned about his boss's safety and had already prepared himself to risk everything.

The younger brothers of the Frankie family had red eyes and didn't listen to their explanation at all.

They roared and charged forward.

"It's troublesome..."

Luffy smacked his lips, then started swinging his arms.

"Rubber, rubber..."

He had just gotten into position, however...

Buzz?!

A powerful pressure instantly erupted from behind him!

[Thanks to 15200.. and 'Red' for the donations!]

209 Link's Conqueror's Haki! Roger and Rayleigh, how could you be so unreasonable?!

Before Luffy could unleash his prepared attack, he felt a powerful surge of energy suddenly emanating from behind him.

Wow!

There was no sound, nor did it stir up any dust or smoke, but it was as if a wave of air had been created, quickly passing through the group of Franky's henchmen!

*Clatter!*

The sounds of bodies falling to the ground rang out one after another.

The underlings, whose eyes had been bloodshot, now all rolled their eyes back and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Usopp: "..."

Nami: "..."

Luffy: "...Wow, that's amazing!!"

"What was that just now? What happened?!"

Usopp and Nami were still completely bewildered.

But when they thought of Link as a go-to person in times of trouble, the two immediately turned their heads away.

Then they saw Link standing there calmly.

"Did you do this, Link?"

Usopp glanced at Link's empty hands. "Is it that gadget that makes people dizzy?"

"It was me who did it."

Link smiled, then looked at the arena, at Franky, the only one under his control who was still able to move without being affected.

"But this is not a prop."

"Not a prop?"

Usopp didn't quite understand.

If it wasn't a prop, then how did they manage to do this?

Just as he was wondering what was going on, he saw that faint aura reappear on Link's body.

That's similar to the aura of a king.

That's the awakening of a king's potential, Conqueror's Haki!!

That's right, after so much training, Link has finally awakened his Conqueror's Haki!

Although Conqueror's Haki is the rarest of the three types of Haki, and cannot be acquired through learning or training, Link attempted to learn the advanced application of Conqueror's Haki technique, "Entanglement," from Rocks' Haki training manual. He wanted to see if he could awaken Conqueror's Haki and confirm whether he possessed the aptitude of a king.

And the result is quite obvious.

That talent, which only one in a million possesses, also appeared in Link.

Well, after all, they're already time travelers and have a cheat code like a four-dimensional treasure bag.

With such treatment, Link simply wouldn't believe he didn't have the qualifications!

Furthermore, it seems that there are many people who possess Conqueror's Haki. Green Pepper also said that in the New World, people with this ability are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

However, among all the characters who have appeared so far, including the deceased Pirate King Roger and Kozuki Oden, there are only seventeen people who possess this power at most.

It's just that Luffy and his crew have encountered many people; those who truly possess Conqueror's Haki are extremely rare.

"This is really a quick party... This is bad!!"

Franky's expression instantly turned serious.

Franky, who is known for his hot-blooded nature, should have rushed over immediately upon seeing all his underlings lying on the ground.

However, he did not make any rash moves. Instead, he remained there, watching Link with apprehension and wariness.

Because he knew that his underlings were all alright.

He still remembers feeling the same way when he was a child thirty years ago.

They were two important figures who came to ask their master, Mr. Tom, to build a boat. At the time, they didn't seem that impressive, but later they became very powerful.

The Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, and his right-hand man, his vice-captain, Silvers Rayleigh.

This man possessed the same imposing aura as those two!

"Link, the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, the prop master?"

Franky stared intently at Link and his group as they approached him.

They especially focused their attention on Link.

Link's attack just now left a very deep impression on him.

"We came here with no ill intentions."

As Usopp approached, he tried to weakly defend himself.

But looking at the underlings lying all over the ground, this explanation just sounds jarring and hollow.

Usopp sighed inwardly; he was prepared for Franky not to believe him.

"I believe."

Franky nodded.

"Okay, I knew you wouldn't believe me... What did you say?!"

Usopp was speaking subconsciously, but suddenly, as if he had misheard something, he widened his eyes and said.

"You believe that?!"

"yes

Franky looked at Link once again.

He knew that if the other party truly harbored ill intentions and harmed them, his men would face far more serious consequences than simply fainting.

Even if his own men were to fall to the ground, it might be the best possible outcome for the current situation.

"Can I ask what exactly this thing is?"

Franky stretched out his large fingers and flicked the suction cup-shaped feathered arrows on his Moss Blue hair.

"Don't worry about it, this is just a tool to help us identify the person we're looking for."

Luffy also felt that Franky was a pretty good person, so he immediately stretched out his rubber elastic arm and removed the suction cup arrow from Franky's head.

"A devil fruit user?"

Franky gained a new understanding of Luffy, and then~

He felt a burning gaze fixed on him.

"I said……"

Luffy stared intently at Franky. "Your name is Franky, right? You're a very skilled shipwright?!"

"...No, you've got it wrong."

Franky met Luffy's gaze, paused for two seconds, and then continued:

"My name is Franky, that's true, but I'm not a shipwright."

"On the contrary, I'm a shipwright and a bounty hunter by a side job. I make money by defeating pirates and exchanging them for bounties, and by dismantling their ships." Franky picked up the Coke bottle on the table again. "So, if you're looking for a shipwright, you've come to the wrong person, Straw Hat."

"No, you are a master shipwright!!"

Luffy, however, said with absolute certainty, "Link's gadgets don't lie!!"

He always had complete confidence in Link's gadgets.

"Props?"

Franky watched Link put away the suction cup arrows and the two-wheeled cart, and then remembered Link's nickname "Props Master," and said noncommittally.

"In short, I don't know how to repair ships. If you want to find a good shipwright, you can go to Carrera Company."

Franky waved to Luffy and his crew, "There are lots of excellent shipwrights over there, and that bastard Iceberg too. They'll make sure your ships are in great shape!!"

"We just came from that company."

Usopp, seeing that Franky wasn't as fierce as he looked, also came up and said seriously:

"But their technology cannot meet our needs."

"oh?!"

Hearing this, Franky became somewhat interested. "Young man with the long nose, you should know that Carrera's shipbuilding and repair technology is the best in the world."

"It's impossible for a problem to exist that even their technology can't solve. Of course, if the ship's keel breaks, then disregard what I said, even if it's the world's best shipwright..."

It can't be fixed~

"You still say you don't know anything about ship repair?!"

Luffy, however, seemed to have caught a loophole in Franky's words and immediately shouted, "You clearly know so much about the keel of the ship!!"
