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

Luffy stared wide-eyed at his rising shadow.

"How did you do that, Link?"

"Didn't you say you didn't use the [Silhouette Scissors]? Why can my shadow still stand up?"

"Is it a new item? Is this item dangerous?!"

At this moment, Luffy was like a curious child, asking questions non-stop.

"This effect was achieved using the [Magic Shadow Flash]."

Link weighed the small ball in his hand and explained.

Prop: [Magic Shadow Flashlight].

Description: By throwing a magic shadow flash into the air and shining a bright light on a target, you can make a shadow detach from your body and come to life, helping you do anything. The shadow created by this shadow flash is particularly obedient; it will do whatever you ask, no matter what you ask it to do. However, the effect of this shadow only lasts for 30 minutes.

"The shadow created by this prop will not have any side effects. It will disappear automatically after thirty minutes, so there is no need to worry about it replacing you."

Link explained the difference between the flash and the shadow scissors.

"However, while ensuring safety, its effectiveness, that is, the shadow it produces, is very obedient, but compared with the shadows cut by the [shadow cutter], it appears very stiff and rigid."

"It is far less flexible than the shadow cut by scissors, and it does not possess many of the characteristics of a shadow."

The shadows cut out by the "Silhouette Scissors" are highly agile and can pass through walls, drift, and easily perform various difficult movements that shadows can do to move and work.

The shadows created by the [Magic Shadow Flash] are virtually indistinguishable from real people, except that they are shadows in essence and appearance.

It has a physical form, and it will fall when it is knocked down. It cannot fly or move, it can only run, and it will stop when it gets tired.

They simply execute commands in a rigid manner.

Therefore, the former's shadow can complete many difficult and troublesome commands, while the latter is only good for doing ordinary manual labor and exerting its strength.

"That's it~"

After listening to Link's explanation, everyone understood the difference between the two shadows.

Luffy beamed with joy, "Then I don't have to worry anymore, he can help me grill the meat properly!!"

Well, his real purpose in wanting the shadow to come out was simply to help him grill meat.

Not only Luffy, but Link also distributed several of these "Shadow Flash" balls to each of the crew members as spares.

Anyway, these things are sold like they're wholesale; in the original, Nobita took several from Doraemon in one go.

A lot of time was wasted along the way, and several people disappeared.

252. Using shadows as sparring partners! That's... the [Clear-Clear Fruit]?! A grief-stricken Sanji!

"If the movements are stiff and rigid, lacking flexibility and independent thought..."

Zoro looked at the flashlight ball in his hand and shook his head. "Then there's no way to use it as a sparring partner."

Thinking of this, he looked at Link again.

"Link, could I borrow those scissors?!"

Zoro said seriously, "I want it to cut out my shadow and practice with me."

"Only through such real combat can I know exactly where I have problems and be able to improve them as soon as possible!!" It has to be said that Zoro is Zoro. When Link takes out these items, the first thing he thinks about is how to use them for training.

"It's okay for you to use it, but you should already know the precautions I mentioned before, right?"

Link handed Zoro the "Silhouette Scissors," saying, "If your shadow stays outside for more than thirty minutes, you risk being replaced."

“The shadow and the original are two different personalities. Once you become the shadow, you will completely disappear from this world. We don’t want to see another Zoro then.” He reminded Zoro again.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

Zoro took the scissors and adhesive, and said with a serious smile, "I will not be defeated by mere shadows until my ambitions are realized."

"Moreover, I have Ah Niu to accompany me in my cultivation. He will remind me when the shadow is about to expire, so there won't be any problems."

"Awoo~ Awoo!!"

Ah Niu immediately straightened his chest and patted his chest to assure Link.

"Really? It would be best if your shadow replaced you; that way, you might not become so annoying."

Sanji next to him started another group fight.

"Huh? Before my shadow replaces me, I'll definitely send you to hell first, you 'colorful eyebrow'!!"

"Heh heh, let's see who goes to hell first, you seaweed-headed idiot!!"

The two resumed their usual joyful banter, which deepened their relationship.

The others completely ignored them and continued to look at Brooke.

"By the way, Brooke, do you know which zombie your shadow was put into?"

"what?"

Brook nodded slightly. "It's a great swordsman from some country named Ryoma!!!"

Thriller Bark is the pirate ship of Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and is said to be the largest pirate ship in the world.

The ship was comparable in size to a medium-sized island, and the flag flying at the top featured the ship's captain, Moria, with his fiery onion hair and a pair of skulls with flaming bat wings.

The ship's front door is shaped like a giant mouth baring its teeth, designed to catch passing vessels. More than 100 ships disappear in the Devil's Triangle every year.

This pirate ship has stood in the Devil's Triangle for more than a decade since it was completed.

The island is dotted with various cemeteries and tombstones, storing a large number of corpses.

They were all stolen one by one by Moria, who acted as a tomb raider.

There were also some animal carcasses, all sewn up by Dr. Hogback, one of the three eccentrics under his command.

When the Straw Hat Pirates arrived at the main gate of Thriller Bark, they couldn't help but marvel at its sheer size.

Inner skirt 519124243

"Wow, it's huge!!"

Luffy looked the front door of Thriller Bark up and down and couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

The front door alone was enough to make them realize the sheer size and vastness of the ship.

"The door is open. Are they letting us in?"

Usopp looked at the gate (cafj), "Could it be that the other side knows our whereabouts?"

"Isn't this just right?"

Link chuckled, "Since they knew we were there and even opened the door to welcome us, saving us the trouble of explaining, it means we meant no harm."

As he spoke, a deep glint flashed in his eyes, "Let's see what kind of scheme this Shichibukai is plotting against us."

The others nodded in agreement.

Indeed, since the other party opened their doors wide to welcome them, they must already know of their presence and still put on such a show.

Therefore, there will definitely be some negotiations between the two sides.

After all, one side is a Shichibukai, and the other is a super rookie who has recently become famous throughout the world and is currently enjoying great popularity!

If the two sides meet in these waters, who knows what kind of waves they'll create?

"Then let's go in!!"

With the mindset that "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear," Luffy immediately called out and swaggered into the entrance with his crew.

Now that it has been discovered, there is no reason to cover it up.

Besides, they didn't need to hide anything in the first place; they were just there to make a deal, not to fight or cause trouble.

Of course, they are not afraid at all if others want to cause them trouble.

And so, the Straw Hat Pirates sailed into the Thriller Bark.

And in some corner of this island ship.

"Oh, another pirate crew has arrived?!"

In a gloomy and eerie cemetery, which was completely deserted, human voices could be heard.

"And there are two such beautiful women here!!"

The voice in mid-air became noticeably more hurried, "So beautiful! This is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful lady!!"

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to capture both of them and make them my brides!!"

A howl, like that of a lecherous wolf, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. In the blink of an eye, the open space fell silent once more.

It's as if all those words and sounds just now were an illusion.

After boarding the massive island ship, Luffy and his crew found a makeshift dock and moored the Going Merry.

As usual, Ah Niu stayed on the boat to watch over it, while everyone else disembarked to go find Moria.

"This environment really is almost like a cemetery?"

Zoro surveyed the surrounding mist, the strangely shaped forests, and the faintly visible graves within the mist.

"Are all the Seven Warlords of the Sea so strange? They actually like places like this?"

He couldn't help but complain there.

"It's precisely because of this environment that we're able to survive without being exposed to strong light, yo-ho-ho-ho!!"

Brooke, on the other hand, took it all in stride.

"Indeed, there are quite a few people hiding in these dark, dense forests."

Those who had gained some experience in observing and interpreting things also discovered the rustling figures hiding in the woods and graveyard, those who hadn't shown themselves but were secretly observing them.

"Um?!"

They paused, looking in a certain direction.

The group of people also spotted a guy approaching them at the same time.

"Um?!"

When the arriving guy saw so many people looking at him, he couldn't help but catch his breath.

"How could they possibly see me? I'm completely invisible!"

He looked down at his hands to make sure he hadn't given anything away; they had all become transparent.

"Was it my imagination? Or was my breathing too heavy, and they noticed something was wrong?"

"That's quite possible. After all, the bounty on their captain and first mate alone exceeds 550 million Berries. It's only natural that they have such strength and vigilance."

The man carefully analyzed the situation, and once again cautiously held his breath, making his movements light and silent, before changing direction.

Then~

He noticed that as his body angle changed, the gazes of the group opposite him also changed.

The completely transparent creature: "...???"

"So there really are people here!!"

Usopp rubbed his long nose. "I thought my Haki senses were wrong."

"It must be some kind of Devil Fruit ability that allows one to become invisible, right?"

As Nami spoke, she looked at the invisible figure approaching their side, her eyes filled with a hint of wariness and resistance.

He could have appeared openly and honestly, but he chose to approach in this invisible and transparent way. Clearly, this guy had ill intentions and was obviously up to no good! And on their ship, there happened to be another fanatic who was also obsessed with transparency and loved to peep into women's bathhouses.

Given the existence of this type of character, Nami has to be extremely wary of these transparent individuals.

"The ability to become invisible... a Devil Fruit power?!"

Sanji was staring blankly at the guy he could clearly sense but couldn't see, and a guess had already formed in his mind that he was very reluctant to face.

However, with Nami and Usopp's reminders, he realized that no matter how unwilling he was to face reality, he had to accept the cruel side of life.

"A transparent fruit..."

His lips trembled as he read the words aloud, one by one, his eyes fixed intently on the man.

"Huh?! They can actually see me, and they even know the name of the [Clear-Clear Fruit]?!"
