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

Isn't this the same path my son, Dragon, took?!

He first gathered a group of capable associates, whom he called comrades.

Then they started stirring up trouble in various parts of the world, and eventually established a revolutionary army that took root.

In comparison, Luffy's threat level is even lower than Dragon's.

239 loves senbei, [Snack Grass]! Garp's shock!! Is this the [Props Master]?!

After all, Dragon was undermining the foundation of the World Government, while Luffy was simply adventuring on the Grand Line, wanting to become the Pirate King.

While his goal is indeed remarkable, it is still a matter of opinion compared to that of Dorrag.

In Garp's opinion, none of his sons and grandsons were easy to deal with or give him any peace of mind.

However, he will not interfere too much with the choices of his juniors.

Everyone has their own way of living in this world.

Although he really wanted Dragon, Luffy, and Ace to become Marines according to their own wishes, things didn't go as planned.

Since they have chosen a path completely different from mine, I have no reason to stop them.

But to think you can help them yourself is just a pipe dream.

At most, he would turn a blind eye and let things slide if he could.

Therefore, when they came to Luffy and his crew this time, they didn't intend to get serious.

He immediately turned around and gave instructions to the naval soldiers behind him:

"Fix the gate."

The other naval soldiers: "???"

"If you're going to fix it, why did you damage it in the first place?!"

"Because it looks cooler to come in like this!!"

Garp answered in a very serious tone.

His "730" others: "..."

What kind of capricious answer is that?!

While everyone was speechless at Garp, he was forced by the strong demands of the marines to pick up a small hammer and join in the repairs.

Before the repairs were completed, the two members of the team finally arrived in front of Link, Luffy, and Zoro.

"Long time no see, Mr. Luffy! Mr. Link! And Mr. Zoro!!!"

Wearing a standard navy blue jacket, trousers, and scarf, with a brightly patterned handkerchief tied around his head, Koby, now taller and more mature, looked at the three with some excitement. Since being taken under Garp's wing, he and Helmeppo had trained day and night, all for the day they could stand before the three of them without losing their courage! And now, he could stand tall, proudly, as an excellent Marine soldier, to formally meet Link and the others!

"Oh! Coby, it's you!!"

Upon meeting an old friend from the East Blue on this Grand Line, Luffy and Zoro were overjoyed and welcomed him inside.

Of course, there's also Helmeppo, whom both Zoro and Luffy dislike.

They still haven't forgotten the arrogant and domineering rich kid's attitude back then.

Later, when everyone reunited and chatted again, Garp also told them about Luffy's father, Dragon.

This surprised everyone in the venue for quite a while.

After the house was repaired, Garp, ostensibly scolding but actually giving instructions, gave Luffy and the others a briefing on the latter half of the Grand Line, the New World, and the situation of the Four Emperors guarding it.

I'm just afraid he'll be too reckless and plunge headlong into the new world only to suffer losses.

Back then, Ace rushed into the New World with his head held high and recognized Whitebeard as his father.

Inch?~?

Ace called himself "Grandpa" and Whitebeard "Dad." Doesn't that mean Ace took advantage of Whitebeard?

Suddenly having this thought in his mind, Garp scratched his head in contemplation before leading a group of marines away in a hurry.

Well, it seems that after he came here, he didn't do anything else besides destroying a door and then repairing it.

However, with Garp's appearance, Link knew that Garp would definitely play a role in this Enies Lobby incident, making the Straw Hat Pirates bear all the responsibility.

The rest of the shipwrights and Franky's younger brothers were finally free from the worry of being wanted and could finally live in peace.

However, just to be on the safe side, Link took out one last insurance policy.

Mr. Karp

Link called out to Garp and his group, who were about to leave.

"what happened?"

The latter picked his nose while casually glancing back.

"I wonder if Mr. Garp usually enjoys snacks?"

"Snacks? Of course I like them."

Garp glanced at Link. "What, do you want to give this old man some snacks?"

At this point, he grinned, "Are you trying to bribe this old man?"

Of course not

Link shook his head with a smile and said, "How can this be called a bribe? It's just that we felt it would be a shame not to share the joy of snacks with Mr. Garp, who loves them so much."

"Haha, you're quite the talker."

Garp laughed heartily, "But forget about the snacks, I've never been used to receiving anything from pirates."

He waved his hand and laughed like a playful old man:

"As an upright marine, I will not leave any room for the pirates to criticize me!!"

He spoke with such righteous indignation, but Garp didn't move his feet at all.

It remained firmly rooted to the spot, showing no intention of moving.

Clearly, he wanted to see what kind of good stuff Link could come up with.

If it were just ordinary snacks, he might have turned around and left.

But if it happens to be something he likes... cough cough!!

The other naval soldiers, seeing their commander's expression, knew exactly what was going on. They all stood there pretending not to see anything, waiting for orders.

"With so many people watching as proof, how could anyone gossip outside?"

Link laughed as he took things out, "Besides, your grandson is our captain. Strictly speaking, he's only meeting your parents for the first time as a friend, so naturally we should give him a gift."

Then I saw that he had a bag of Kapu's favorite rice crackers and a can full of hay in his hand.

"This is [Snack Pasture]. With this pasture, snacks can reproduce and you can keep enjoying delicious snacks forever!!"

As Link spoke, he placed the can of hay on the ground, then tore open the rice cracker packaging and put a few crackers on the hay.

Props: [Snack Pasture].

Description: Feed any treat with this peculiar canned hay, and it will transform into a living, breathing animal like a cow, reproduce, and grow. However, it needs to be fed continuously for it to take effect. If it is not fed for more than an hour, it will revert to its original form and will not be able to transform back into an animal.

This is equivalent to raising snacks like livestock!

"Let the desserts grow, and then reproduce?!"

Karp winked there.

"Ahem, I said..."

He coughed twice there. "Although I am old and my eyesight is failing, and I have not read many books and have little education, that does not mean you can fool me."

"You know, even Charlotte Linlin, who claims to love desserts the most, doesn't have the kind of unique desserts you're talking about in her Whole Cake Island. She only created her dessert kingdom by gathering the Devil Fruit abilities of sweets."

At this point, Garp felt he had truly been deceived and fooled, and he intended to show the young people of today that the elderly are not so easily fooled.

Garp looked over with a rather dangerous gaze:

"Snacks aren't real animals, they're just inanimate objects. How could they possibly come alive, grow, reproduce, and eat grass... They're actually eating grass there!!!" The sight before him made Garp's eyes pop out of their sockets as he stared dumbfounded at the group of senbei that were wriggling on the grass, happily munching away.

"She actually came back to life..."

Garp stared wide-eyed at the group of senbei who were happily eating and occasionally raising their heads to make cow-like noises.

"They can even make sounds like cows, are these senbei really desserts?!"

His snot trickled down in a long trail, and he couldn't help but sniff it back forcefully.

"Even with Big Mom Charlotte Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit, which imbues inanimate objects with souls, she couldn't possibly accomplish something of this magnitude, could she?!"

Karp stared blankly at the group of senbei, feeling that these snacks he used to love now seemed so unfamiliar.

He couldn't help but look up at Link, who was taking out a lot of [Snack Grass] cans one after another.

Not only him, but the rest of the Straw Hat crew were once again amazed by the new gadget Link had brought out.

"Wow, Link!! The sweets really came to life!!!"

Luffy's eyes gleamed as if he had discovered something new.

Especially when it comes to food, his brain immediately becomes active.

"Can I put the Watery Meat on top and let it multiply too?!"

Just thinking about the countless pieces of meat he might face in the future made Luffy's mouth water, and he chuckled foolishly as he imagined the wonderful scene.

"I wonder if wine could also reproduce..."

Zoro was also somewhat tempted.

"And my orange tree"

Nami was also somewhat eager to try.

"So, after level 5.9, do we no longer need to cook desserts and can we just raise them directly?"

Sanji also seemed to be deep in thought as he watched this scene.

And Franky, if that guy were here, he'd probably think of his Coke first too.

"Can cotton candies reproduce?!"

Chopper waved his little hooves, his eyes filled with longing.

"Marshmallows are fine, but I'm not so sure about meat, alcohol, and fruits like oranges?"

Link thought for a moment and replied.

After all, this is "snack pasture," which only applies to snacks.

He wasn't sure whether main meals like meat, drinks like alcohol, and fruits like oranges would be effective.

"But with this hay, I think Mr. Karp should be able to enjoy his snacks freely soon, right?"

Link then turned to Garp and said with a smile.

Garp: "..."

"Ah, now that you mention it, that's true."

He couldn't help but give Link a deep look, then grinned, "In that case, I'll never have to worry about anyone taking away my share of senbei again!!" Even inanimate objects like sweets can come alive; this ability and skill to turn the mundane into the magical—is this what a [Tool Master] is? I'll remember this!!

240 new bounties! 500 million!! Luffy and Link's bounties!!

Karp did not refuse Link's gift and gladly accepted the [snack hay] and the rice crackers that had already started moving.

In addition to canned varieties, snack grass seeds can also be used to grow snack grass on the ground.

This saves the trouble of feeding them with canned food every time, allowing the snacks to grow on their own.

Otherwise, given Garp's memory, it's really unrealistic to expect him to feed him every hour.

Garp was quite satisfied with the gifts and gains this time, but Luffy couldn't stand it and jumped out again, courting death:

"Grandpa, you still say you won't accept anything from pirates?!"

He once again loudly accused Garp: "Didn't you take Link's [Snack Hay]?"

"This stuff belongs to us pirates, keep it! What kind of navy robs pirates?! You... Waaaaa!!"

Clearly, Luffy's protests were completely ineffective against Garp, who quickly suppressed them with his reputation as "Iron Fist."
