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

But seeing your fellow sufferers rise up while you fall so miserably, who could bear it?!

Especially when facing CP9's opponents, it was just the two of them, Ah Niu and I, who fought and defeated them together.

Why does Ah Niu have such a high credit limit, while he only has this much?!

This is really unfair!!

Actually, having 2.5 million is already quite good, after all, it's an extra 10,000, but the increase is in units of 10,000.

None of the crew members on the ship experienced such a dramatic increase in their health as Chopper.

Moreover, compared to the original version at this time, achieving such a high value is already quite remarkable.

It's likely that the World Government learned about Chopper's Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability from CP9's Kujira, which is why they added the "ten thousand" to his name.

Otherwise, he might still not even reach a thousand Berries?

As for Ah Niu, he is proficient in both types of Haki, and his physical skills are also quite strong.

In addition, Link temporarily copied Luffy's rubber powers for him, but he'll definitely change it again in the future.

Moreover, the fact that a beast like the Kung Fu Manatee possesses such strength is extraordinary, which explains why Ah Niu has such a high bounty.

"There's nothing I can do, Chopper."

Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:

"That's life. There are always unexpected situations that prevent us from having a smooth life that goes according to our wishes," he said, then straightened his chest, a confident smile on his face, and waited for Zambry to reveal the final amount of his bounty.

"The Straw Hat Pirates' cook, Sanji [Black Leg], bounty: 177 million Berries!!"

Zambry spoke in a slightly better tone than when he spoke to Chopper, but there was still a clear difference.

"It's not even as tall as that green algae head?! What a failure!"

Completely oblivious to the change in Zambry's tone, Sanji kept repeating Versailles' words, but a smile appeared on his face.

In truth, he was extremely satisfied with the bounty he had set, which had already exceeded 100 million.

It's over 100 million, after all!

But this wasn't what he was most looking forward to.

"Come on, let me see just how valiantly I've entered the eyes of those lovely ladies..."

His overwhelming anticipation drew his gaze directly to the reward notice—the one he had pinned his hopes on, the one that might have altered the photograph. And then—

He saw that his wanted poster still featured that hand-drawn, swollen face.

Of course, there were some changes; the only eye that was exposed was painted as a pink heart-shaped eye.

Rumble rumble rumble~~~

It was as if a lightning bolt, even larger than Chopper's, had struck Sanji, leaving him utterly devastated.

"how……"

His lips trembled, and his face instantly turned ashen and emaciated. "It's like this?!"

"Why, why wasn't it filmed..."

pat.

With all his strength gone, Sanji's legs seemed unable to support his weight, and he collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.

It was as if the person had lost the meaning of life, and the future seemed incredibly dark and hopeless.

Chopper, equally saddened beside him: "..."

You were just giving me such heartfelt advice and encouragement a moment ago, weren't you?

When faced with the same situation, don't you end up being the same pathetic person?!

"But to be fair, the drawing is much more vivid than the original."

Zoro stood by, laughing without any restraint, and stabbed Sanji hard in the heart.

However, Sanji was so shocked that he automatically shut out all external sounds and kept sobbing.

As tears and snot streamed down the ground, he kept muttering to himself:

"I'm sure I'll be laughed at by all the ladies and girls in the world, I'm sure of it..."

He felt his heart shatter completely.

A gentle breeze swept away all his fragments, leaving not a single shard behind.

"Actually, what we're most worried about is this arrest warrant..."

Seeing this, Zanbai could only pretend not to notice and braced himself to explain the purpose of his visit.

As he spoke, he placed the last wanted poster he had been holding in front of Luffy and the others.

"This is... Franky's?!"

Everyone also saw the new wanted poster with Franky's photo on it.

"【Cyborg】Franky, bounty of 88 million Berries, dead or alive. If captured alive, the bounty will double!!"

The reward of over 80 million, plus the note that it doubles if captured alive, is quite interesting.

It seems the World Government still hasn't given up on its plan to seize the blueprints for Hades.

"Oh no! Boss Franky has a bounty on his head too!!"

"And it's such an extremely high amount!!"

The two square sisters were also instantly shocked.

"This is precisely what we came here to ask Straw Hat Brother and Link for a favor..."

Zambai spoke quickly, his voice pleading, "If my brother is wanted by the Navy, then he..."

"I know you want us to take him to the sea, right?"

Luffy picked his nose, interrupting Zambezi.

"Talk? Straw Hat Brother, do you know what we're up to?!"

Zambry was taken aback, then quickly said, "Then we don't need to say anything more. We sincerely want to ask you, Straw Hat Brother, to take Brother to the sea as well!!" "Ah, Link already told me about this before."

Luffy chuckled and said, "Actually, Franky already agreed to it a long time ago."

"And coincidentally, my ship is short of a skilled shipwright, and he is exactly my type."

"so???"

Luffy rubbed his nose with his fingers. "I plan to invite Merry after I've seen him!!"

"That's wonderful!!"

Seeing that their older brother had finally found a safe and good home, Franky's younger brothers, including Zambry, were overjoyed.

He was practically begging Luffy to come and praise him.

Thus, including Franky's bounty of 88 million Berries, the Straw Hat Pirates' total bounty has reached 1.9405 billion Berries!

"Let's go check on the Going Merry!"

Completely unaware that his pirate crew has become a super-large pirate group, Luffy is now preoccupied with the Going Merry.

The others didn't feel much either; they were just happy to see their own and their partners' bounties increase, and that was all.

And so, led by his underlings Zanbai and others, with Ah Niu carrying the lifeless Sanji, the group headed toward the construction site on the coast.

With everyone eagerly anticipating their arrival, they soon reached their destination.

At this moment, Franky, Iceberg, and a group of shipwrights from the Galleyra Company were waiting for Luffy and his crew.

Beside them, a draped ship was moored along the shore.

"Is that the refurbished Going Merry?!"

Luffy's eyes immediately lit up as he looked over, wishing he could rush up right then and there and pull back the curtain.

"I feel like I've gotten a lot bigger..."

Others naturally noticed the changes to the Merry.

The ship that appears on the sea is significantly larger than the previous Going Merry.

[Thank you so much 'xianw..' for the generous donation!! I'll try my best to update more! A testament to the determination of someone with no writing skills!]

243 Brand new ships! You've changed too, Merry!! Let's not let anyone be too satisfied!

"Oh, of course!"

Franky patted his chest proudly and said, "Having finally obtained the precious tree [Adam], I'm naturally going to use all the best materials inside to modify you!!"

"Thank you so much, Franky!!"

Luffy wiped his drool and struggled to shift his gaze from the ship. "And Iceberg Uncle, Mr. Barry, and you guys too."

"No need to be so polite~"

Iceberg smiled and said, "You've helped me so much, and I haven't had a chance to thank you yet."

"This is all I can do to help you, and it's been a long time since I've used such good materials to build a ship!"

"Hahaha, with us on board, you can absolutely rest assured about the quality of the ships!!"

Barry, who was also there with a cigar in his mouth, smiled and made a promise.

Judging from the smiles on their faces, they were clearly very satisfied with the results of the ship's renovation!

"Come and see how your ships look new!!"

"it is good!!"

Urged on by a group of people, Luffy, who was already impatient, immediately rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.

Grab the curtain covering the Going Merry and pull it down hard!

La!

Suddenly, a brand-new pirate ship appeared in everyone's sight!

The ship is entirely red and yellow, with massive three masts and a model at the bow that resembles a sun or a lion, bending and laughing.

"Awesome!!!!!"

Luffy's eyes instantly transformed into incredibly dazzling stars, radiating a light so bright that Franky and the others could barely open their eyes.

"Is this the refitted Going Merry?!"

Not only Luffy, but the rest of the Straw Hat crew were also shocked by Merry's transformed appearance.

The appearance and size of the ship far exceeded their expectations.

If the original Merry was just a simple and unassuming young man...

So this improved Merry ship represents the journey of a simple young man who, through hard work, training, and battles, finally mastered his skills and began to make a name for himself on the high seas, becoming a resolute and powerful figure!

This transformation is something that everyone is extremely happy about!

“Merry…”

Even Usopp gazed with tears in his eyes at the ship that held so many memories and longings for him.

Although it lost its seemingly gentle ram's head, it transformed into the courageous, resolute, and optimistic Sun Lion, a change that Usopp was genuinely happy for the Going Merry.

Of course, the main reason is that he was able to detect that the core of the Going Merry had not changed.

That is, Merry, the ship's spirit, is still active on this ship.

Even Usopp could sense the joy and happiness emanating from Merry inside the ship.

Their partner remains by their side, which is the main reason they've put in so much effort and overcome so many difficulties!

Merry is their comrade, and not one of them can be missing!!

"It bears a striking resemblance to the original Thousand Sunny."

Even Link was there, happy about the transformation of the Merry, and also noticed the new appearance of the Merry after its modification.

It bears a great resemblance to the original Thousand Sunny, also known as the Sausen Sunny.

However, upon closer inspection, there are actually some differences.
