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

After receiving the Wado Ichimonji from his mentor Koushirou, he frequently used it violently, causing the Wado Ichimonji to break more than once.

When he was in the East China Sea, he had craftsmen repair the knife more than once, so he was quite clear about the extent of the damage and whether the knife could be repaired.

As for [Yubashiri] and [Sandai Kitetsu], they withstood the attack of Shusui, which had been famous for hundreds of years and had turned into a black sword, and were already shattered beyond recognition.

Even if you can fix them outwardly, the knife itself is already dead.

It will continue to break until it breaks to the point where it is completely beyond repair.

In the original version, when Zoro fought Ryuma, he was struck by the opponent's strength, and his sword was almost broken by him.

To protect his sword, he sheathed the Sandai Kitetsu and, using only the risky leap of the Wado Ichimonji, unleashed the Hiryu Flame of the One-Sword Style from above, a desperate gamble that finally subdued Ryoma.

Knock him down.

However, even though he had mastered the use of Armament Haki to entangle Ryoma, he still couldn't withstand it against Ryoma's [Ryuo], which had been honed over many years.

In particular, he sensed that the Haki used by Ryoma seemed to have reached the level of external projection, and had damaged the two swords from the inside, making them completely irreparable.

"External application, and internal destruction level Armament Haki too...?"

Zoro looked thoughtfully at the two swords in his hands, as if he had gained a new understanding of the use of Armament Haki.

Then~

"There are only two knives, but it feels like something's missing..."

He carefully wrapped up the broken "Yubashiri" and "Sandai Kitetsu", and placed Wado Ichimonji and Shusui at his waist.

Having only these two knives at his waist was something he truly regretted.

Let's use this for now.

At that moment, Link, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, walked over and threw a knife at Zoro as well.

"this is……"

Zoro took the sword and found it somewhat familiar.

"Fifty skilled craftsmen of fine, fast swords from Huazhou"

Link laughed and said, "I got it from that agent back in Alabasta."

The kind-hearted professional courier, Agent 11, is the person from whom Link obtained this famous knife, which he has kept ever since.

After recharging the [Famous Sword? Lightning Ball], I hardly ever used it again.

258 Oz the Demon! [The Tumbler Hammer That Shranks]!! He's gotten shorter?! He's been knocked down!!

This sword would be just right for Zoro to use now.

"not bad……"

Zoro took it, drew it from its scabbard, examined the blade of the Allegiance Blade, and nodded with considerable satisfaction.

"In that case, we now have three knives again."

He then placed the [Huazhou] sword at his waist, saying, "Indeed, one needs three swords to feel at ease."

Afterwards, Zoro collected Ryuma's damaged clothes from the battle and used his own Sandai Kitetsu and Yubashiri to build a cenotaph for him.

The inscription above is very simple: "Tomb of Frost Moon Dragon Horse".

Six simple words—for Longma, there are no words that can adequately describe his legendary and brilliant life.

Next to this tombstone are the tombstones of [Yukishiro] and [Sandai Kitetsu].

"Frost Moon..."

Zoro looked at Ryuma's surname, which he had learned from Link, with a slightly complicated expression.

He also remembered that when he was young and practicing swordsmanship alone, he encountered a strange old man on a coastline.

That old man, I think, was called Shimotsuki Kozaburo, and he seemed to have some kind of connection with his master, Koshiro.

This old man named Kousaburo, although he never taught Zoro any swordsmanship, did tell Zoro about "what a sword is" and "the wisdom of abandoning one's name".

At the time, young Zoro didn't quite understand, but before leaving, Shimotsuki Kozaburo gave Zoro two swords.

Although those two swords had long been worn out by him, they were also the opportunity that gave him the Three-Sword Style.

Now, Zoro has mastered Haki and aerial slashes, and has learned of the existence of the [Black Blade].

It also gave me a deeper understanding of Kousaburo's "What is a sword?" and "Wisdom in relinquishing fame".

"Although Qiushui is a fine sword, it has already been forged by Longma into his own black sword..."

Zoro glanced at the Shusui at his waist, "If I can find a better sword that hasn't been forged into a black blade yet, I could replace it..."

Rumble~

While everyone was still savoring the battle between Zoro and Ryuma, a loud noise suddenly erupted outside.

"What's wrong?!"

The shockwave made people lose their footing for a moment, and some people immediately expressed their confusion and questions.

"A huge thing has appeared!!"

The senses transmitted back by their Observation Haki made Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and the others immediately raise their heads and look out of the room through the window.

"What is that?!"

Everyone stared in astonishment at the enormous size of the creature, which was dozens of stories high and comparable to the size of a monster from Ultraman.

"Are they giants?!"

"Impossible, right? I don't remember that Master Dorry and Master Brogy were this big."

"This size is almost the size of several of them!!"

The crowd was discussing it amongst themselves, as it was the first time they had ever seen this tall creature.

"His name is Oz, and he is an outcast among the giants."

Link explained, "Just like among ordinary humans, there are people with huge bodies that are five or six meters tall."

"Then, among the giants, there are naturally some who are extremely well-developed and several times the size of ordinary giants."

But isn't this way too big...?

Everyone's eyelids twitched as they couldn't help but complain.

"Leave this guy to me."

Link shook his hand and then pulled out a wooden mallet.

"You guys go find Moria, I'll deal with this big idiot."

"Another new item?!"

Seeing this, Luffy was unwilling to walk any further and stopped there to observe carefully.

"Anyway, Moria is all alone; he can't escape."

As he spoke, he eagerly anticipated Link's move, "Hey, Link, what kind of gadget is this?"

He pointed to the mallet in Link's hand.

"This one is called the 'Tumbler Hammer with a Smaller Size'."

Link twirled the mallet in his hand twice and said with a smile.

With a flash of lightning, Link vanished from the spot, reappearing standing before the towering Oz.

It has a broken bull horn on its head, protruding fangs in its mouth, purplish-red skin all over its body, and a blue curtain on its stomach.

From his appearance, he does look somewhat ferocious and frightening, but in reality, he is all bark and no bite, relying solely on the strength brought by his massive size to act recklessly. Of course, at this moment, Oz's eyes are completely black, clearly not because a shadow has been inserted normally.

"Were they controlled by Moria's shadow?"

A flash of lightning appeared in Link's eyes. On this island, thanks to his Observation Haki and radio waves, no move could escape his eyes and monitoring.

Not only were Moria's arrangements and actions clear, but he also knew everything about the person he had discussed matters with in his room earlier! Therefore, Link had already made the necessary preparations!

"Roar!"

Without the shadow possessing him, he lost his independent thought and was simply at the mercy of Moria's shadow mage, who controlled his stiff body to attack Link.

A heavy fist slammed into the spot where he was standing.

boom! !

As the fist landed, pieces of rock flew everywhere, but Link's figure had already vanished.

Whoosh!

The next second, Link appeared beside Oz, holding the Shorter Hammer.

"Make me shorter!!"

Without any mercy, the wooden mallet in his hand slammed down towards Oz's waist and abdomen!

boom! boom! !

Two crisp, clean sounds rang out as Ozna's two large bulges of muscle in his waist and abdomen struck.

"Read it?! Read it?!"

Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

He was instantly ejected from his body and sent flying.

"They actually punched out his waist and stomach?!"

A group of people shouted loudly in unison.

"Wow, that's amazing! Does he really have that much power?!"

"Even Oz's massive body was shattered?!"

"No, that's not right. Look, there's no blood on his exposed waist and stomach, and no bone is showing!"

"It's like throwing the body out like a toy block?!"

"As expected of Link, he always has such unique gadgets... I really want to try them out!!"

Whether it was the shock of Lola and the squirrel brothers, or Luffy's extremely envious and sour feeling, the noise and commotion echoed throughout the area!

boom! !

Oz's two torsos crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

"The results are pretty good~"

Link gripped the height-reducing hammer in his hand and nodded with considerable satisfaction.

Prop: [The Tumbler Hammer That Reduces Size].

Description: By striking any object horizontally with this hammer, including creatures, you can break off a section of the object, much like a roly-poly toy. The broken section can be restored by placing it back in its original position.

Furthermore, although the part that was knocked off is separated from the original part, it is actually still connected to the original part. For example, after Suneo's buttocks were knocked off, he still felt the pain of being torn apart and could still fart.

This prop is inspired by a Japanese toy called a roly-poly toy. The toy has a head on top and a body that is divided into sections. Players use a mallet to strike one section horizontally, trying to knock off one section without making the roly-poly toy fall over.

0. Requesting flowers.......

It can be said to be an excellent tool for knocking someone down from a height.

boom!boom!

After Link knocked two large chunks of his waist and abdomen away, he continued to strike with his hammer, delivering several more blows in succession.

With the same "I'll hammer you to death" style as the Northwest Hammer King, he smashed several more parts of Oz's body in succession!! Until the very end~

puff.

Oz, with only two legs, two arms, and a head left, was flailing about wildly.

Then, because he was suddenly not used to his current body, he tripped over his own foot with his left leg and fell to the ground.

Yeah, just like Bucky who lost his body, he only has limbs and a head, the torso is completely gone.

"Resolved?"

Link executed a beautiful hammer flourish and put away the [Tumbler Hammer].

He laughed at his companions inside the castle house behind him.
