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

A clear, deep fist mark was still visible on his forehead, and blood was constantly flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Is he really just a pirate with a bounty of just over 100 million?!"

Bruno was quite incredulous, his eyes filled with shock.

He had encountered some powerful pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million before.

But to be fair, although dealing with it was very difficult and strenuous for him, and he couldn't even win a fight.

But even the most powerful pirates with bounties over 100 million have never experienced Luffy's incredible speed and power! "I feel like I don't even need to use my newly developed Gear Second against you."

A rare serious expression appeared on Luffy's face.

"So, don't get in my way! I need to hurry up and find Franky and the method to modify Merry!!" As he spoke, a layer of jet-black luster suddenly appeared on Luffy's two fists.

Armament Haki, Harden!!

Well, even though I didn't use Gear Second, if I used Armament Haki, its power would definitely not be underestimated.

And the most important thing is...

"I feel my body is constantly being strengthened, almost every day, every moment..."

This idea gradually emerged in Luffy's mind as well.

"Ever since I drank Link's [Talent Potion], I may have awakened a sliver of the power of the Nika Fruit."

"Since then, almost every day it seems like a powerful force is surging out from the deepest part of my body."

"And it also made me feel that there are many possibilities in the battle, making me feel that there are more possibilities."

"My body seems to have become freer, without any constraints or limitations. The rubber's stretching range is longer, its elasticity is higher, and even my physical strength has been greatly enhanced..."

"Is this the enhancement brought about by the awakening of the Nanika Fruit? It really is an incredible Devil Fruit..."

Thinking of this, a smile returned to Luffy's face.

"But it's all thanks to Link. Otherwise, the Gum-Gum Fruit wouldn't have awakened for over a decade. Without Link, it might never have awakened."

"Compared to awakening my Devil Fruit powers, meeting Link makes me much happier!!!"

In Luffy's simple mind, the increase in strength brought by the awakening of his powerful Devil Fruit ability was far more enjoyable and joyful than meeting a like-minded and caring partner like Link!

In other words, if you had to choose between your partner and your Devil Fruit ability.

Luffy chose the former without hesitation, rather than the latter.

0. Requesting flowers.......

That's precisely why Luffy, with his unique mindset, is able to become the next Joy Boy and Nikka!

That liberator, the sun god, Nika!

The Nika Fruit, as a Mythical Zoan type of the Human-Human Fruit, not only possesses the properties of rubber itself, but also allows for free-flowing combat, bringing smiles to people's faces.

It is said that the awakened Devil Fruit power will grant his rubber body greater freedom and power.

That was a power that those in the know had heard of—the most unbelievable and absurd ability in the world!

Clearly, Luffy didn't fully awaken his abilities after receiving that "Talent Potion" from Link.

However, it did open a tiny loophole in the awakening seal, allowing the awakening ability of the Nika Fruit to gradually take effect on Luffy's body, giving him greater strength and a more powerful physique.

I believe that if Luffy were to awaken the power of the Nika Fruit one day, it definitely wouldn't be as brutal as Kaido, who simply smashed the seal open with three blows.

Instead, it's like this now, a steady, gradual process, accumulating little by little, until one day in the future...

Accumulated knowledge and experience, a natural and spontaneous awakening—a complete awakening that comes naturally!

At that time, Luffy will definitely be at his strongest!

And now~

Even though he only slightly opened the seal, the resulting physical enhancement, combined with his understanding of giants, the Six Powers, and the mastery of both types of Haki, makes Luffy virtually invincible in the first half of the Grand Line!

Well, except for Link from Luffy's own ship.

There's also the premise that those monsters from the New World and the Navy, such as Ace, Blackbeard, Aokiji, Mihawk, and Garp, won't appear in the first half.

And can CP9 on Enies Lobby be considered one of those monsters?

Bruno's obvious being overwhelmed by Luffy, along with the disbelief in his eyes, already speaks volumes.

"What a joke!!"

Bruno had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but his face was contorted with anger.

"He's just a mere pirate, stop spouting nonsense!!"

He used Moonwalk to propel himself forward, his body suddenly tumbling towards Luffy. "What do you think Enies Lobby is? A place where you can do whatever you want?!"

"Face reality, you piece of scum on the ocean!!"

He roared, "Shave iron blocks and jade!!"

This is a special move that combines the "Shave" and "Iron Block" techniques from the Six Styles.

Using the momentum generated by the powerful high-speed movement of [Shave], the body can rotate at high speed and rush towards the enemy.

Using the [Iron Block] simultaneously in this situation will concentrate all the attack power at the apex, striking the enemy and then unleashing a powerful attack with the force generated by its high-speed rotation!

It's entirely possible to penetrate a wall and still travel three meters!

It must be said that this is a pretty good move that combines the two major techniques of [Shave] and [Iron Body].

In particular, he maximized the use of his well-trained body to develop the hardness of iron, creating a defensive force called "Iron Block" that even bullets and swords could not penetrate!

[Um, because I didn't update properly before, some of you subscribed to an extra chapter and paid extra. So I'm planning to create a group and send the money back to everyone via red envelopes. Of course, anyone interested is welcome to join and make friends. Group name: Great Voyage Props Master (Great Voyage Straw Hat), drink: Angry to death, don't leave a billion, leave a bottle of wine. Once again, I apologize to everyone!]

219. All the top fighters died at the hands of Tesskai! Everyone's here! The Straw Hat Pirates face off against the World Government!

Unfortunately, there is a little-known but profound truth circulating in the world of One Piece:

"Masters all die from iron blocks!!"

How many people have been killed by iron blocks?!

Bruno was clearly unaware of this profound truth.

He was very confident and planned to completely dismantle Luffy's offensive with this strongest move.

However~

Upon seeing this, Luffy simply raised his fist, the black color on it growing increasingly intense.

His expression remained calm as Bruno spun rapidly towards him, about to strike.

"Whoosh!!"

He clenched his fist and brought it down suddenly, striking Bruno squarely in the temple with a powerful downward swing.

boom! !

Suddenly, even more violently flying debris erupted from the ceiling of the courtroom than before.

The ground was instantly riddled with spiderweb-like cracks.

Just like in the original version, on Jaya Island, when Luffy fought Bellamy, he delivered a direct, one-hit kill, hitting the bullseye!

Click?

Bruno lay stiffly on the ground, his eyes completely white.

Blood beads kept seeping from the corner of his mouth; he had lost consciousness and the ability to move.

He became the first member of CP9 to be defeated and eliminated.

On the other side of July 17th?

"One of the voices disappeared."

Having broken through the previous island and arrived at the main island's courtroom, Zoro had just cut down a group of "guilty juries" wielding a large iron ball chain and constantly shouting "guilty."

I couldn't help but look up in a certain direction.

"Looks like Luffy has already defeated one CP9 member~"

Sanji also kicked, sending the chain and the ball flying together.

"We need to hurry, otherwise Luffy might take out CP9 all by himself!!"

At this moment, the Straw Hat crew were all inside the courtroom.

Outside the gate, there was a constant commotion.

The shipwrights led by Barry, the Franky family's younger brothers including Zambai, and Emperor Blue, along with the two giants Oimo and Kashi who defected to the same side.

They were all outside, fighting to prevent the other island guards from breaking in.

"Even the presiding judges don't know where those classified documents from Enies Lobby are kept."

Usopp put down the Truth-Telling Pill and reported his work results to everyone.

Before him stood three men: two short, middle-aged men with bruised and swollen faces and missing many of their front teeth, and a tall, elderly man with a white beard.

The two short, middle-aged men sat on the left and right shoulders of the tall, elderly man, making it look like one body with three heads.

"Really, he's already at the level of a presiding judge, yet he has so little information."

Nami also looked down on the three guys in front of her who had been beaten so badly and looked so pathetic.

These three people are judges who are dressed in one piece of clothing and are called the Three-Headed Baskerville. The one on the left is Baskerville, the one on the right is Kabir, and the one in the middle calls himself Princess.

Hmm... this name is pretty outrageous, isn't it?

In the past, those who committed heinous crimes were sentenced by the three of them together.

However, disagreements often lead to all sorts of arguments.

But now, all three heads were huddled together, trembling, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at the handsome man standing next to them.

That man beat the three of them so badly they were completely powerless to fight back, utterly destroying their morale.

"Then it seems that the real confidential documents are inside the Tower of Justice behind this island."

Link didn't even glance at the three heads he had beaten so badly before reaching this conclusion.

"Let's climb to the top of the tower first to meet up with Luffy, and then figure out a way to get to the Tower of Justice behind it!"

Robin gave the same suggestion, and no one else had any objections.

Nami: "Okay, let's do it that way... Hey, Zoro, where are you going?!"

Zoro: "Weren't we going to find Luffy?!"

Usopp: "But Luffy is on the ceiling, in this passage!! Why are you running in the opposite direction?!"

Sauron: "..."

Nami was also there, facepalming: "Chopper, why don't you prescribe some medicine for Zoro that's good at directions?"

Chopper quickly shook his head. "That's impossible! Being directionally challenged is incurable!!"

"If it's Link's gadget, maybe it could also..."

"No, it can't be cured, is that all?!"

Before Chopper could finish speaking, Link delivered a decisive triple denial.

Unfortunately, even if you were given a guiding tool, it wouldn't have any effect on Zoro's condition.

After finalizing their plan of action, the group ran towards the ceiling.

Meanwhile, inside the Tower of Justice.

What did you say?!

Inside the office, Spandam, upon receiving the message once again, nearly popped his eyes out.

His hand holding the microphone was trembling, and snot was already running down his face.

"Oimo and Kashi have betrayed us? The Straw Hat crew has already infiltrated the courtroom?!"

Spandam roared in disbelief:

"Am I the one who's gone mad, or are you all mad? Are you talking nonsense to me in broad daylight?!"

"It's true, Commander Spandam!!"
