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

He couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"So, merfolk and the like are just awful..."

Sanji muttered to himself with a hint of resentment, "If only I could meet a real mermaid."

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the sound. "Especially those cute and pretty mermaid ladies, they're practically... real mermaids!!!" The next second, Sanji burst out with a tone and voice even higher and sharper than Nami's earlier.

He stared blankly at the mermaid with a forked pink fishtail beneath him, who was pounding on the cage, looking pleading for help.

It was as if it were an arrow from Cupid, the god of love.

Leaning, leaning, leaning!

It pierced directly through his loving, pink heart.

"Oh my gosh, my incredibly beautiful, incredibly cute, incredibly gorgeous mermaid!!!"

On Sanji's forehead, countless pink hearts seemed to sparkle like stars.

"Wait for me, your beloved guardian knight, Sanji, I'm coming to save you!!!"

At that moment, Sanji felt as if an infinite amount of power was being poured into his body.

At the same time, the affection in his heart was like a river bursting its banks, flowing endlessly and without end!

Just as he was about to step forward to save the person...

"Sanji?! You're saying you're that damned 'Black Leg' Sanji?!"

Suddenly, a voice that was no weaker than his, and perhaps even stronger, rang out from the side, startling Sanji and Luffy.

"Who are those people?!"

Looking around, they saw a group of guys riding strange fish, dressed like gangsters, standing on the shore of the base.

The one leading them was even more peculiar; not only did he ride a large black water buffalo, but he also wore a thick iron mask on his face, as if afraid of revealing his true appearance.

Is this their stronghold?

"It should be; that person should be their leader."

Why does he harbor such strong malice towards Sanji?

"Is this a grudge Sanji formed when he was a chef at the sea restaurant?"

A group of people were guessing.

The main reason was that the voice that the masked man shouted just now was just too pitiful.

It's like having a deep-seated hatred, and then seeing the person in question brings a feeling of overwhelming joy and a sense of fulfillment.

This inevitably makes the Straw Hat Pirates suspect that Sanji might have some deep-seated grudge against the other party.

Who are you?!

Having his carefully prepared emotions and actions interrupted, Sanji glared at the other person with considerable displeasure.

"Do I know you?!"

"Of course you don't know me, but I know you!!"

The masked man waved his hand, pointing it at Sanji, and said, "I owe everything I have today to you!!"

He was so excited that he started there:

"So there really is a God in this world, who can hear the call of my heart, fulfill my wishes, and let me meet you!!"

"What a joyous day! The one I've been dreaming of killing has appeared right in front of me!!"

Even if it means we both die here today, I will still kill you!

The more he said this, the more he expressed such a deep-seated hatred and bitter resentment, the more curious people became.

"So who exactly are you?!"

Sanji tried his best to recall, but he couldn't remember anything.

Although he had done many things that made people hate him, he had mostly been dealing with dirty pirates and disgusting nobles.

He had never really been in contact with such a triad-like group before.

"You, you wouldn't happen to be called Dibaru, would you?"

Link suddenly asked from the side.

"Huh? You know me?!"

The masked man who had been staring intently at Sanji immediately turned his face away upon hearing Link's words.

"Dubaru? I've never even heard of that name before?"

Sanji frowned and tried to recall, but he had no recollection of the name at all.

"Duval, a baby said to have been born a week after the death of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, was called the 'Cursed Baby' by his own mother because of his unusual appearance."

Link explained to the curious crowd, "Back then, this was quite a sensation!"

"I see……"

Everyone nodded.

"So what does this have to do with me?!"

Sanji, somewhat exasperated, said, "You can't blame me just because you have a strange face, can you?!"

"Well, to be honest, Sanji, you do bear some responsibility."

Link thought for a moment and said something quite reasonable.

Sanji: "???"

"Diva, right? You can take off your iron mask first."

Link greeted Duval across the sea, "Didn't you want revenge on Sanji? You should at least give him a reason to admit defeat."

Reason, perhaps~

"Completely convinced? I see. I was going to show you the sins you've committed, Black Leg Sanji!!"

Dubal roared and ripped the iron mask off his face.

The face that was revealed was clearly reflected in everyone's eyes.

"what……"

"that is……"

"No way……"

"is that a lie?!"

[Thanks to 'Lycra Cotton' for the 5,000 points!! And to 'I'm a Big Shot?' and 'jkjr' for the 1,000 points!! Alright, I'll add an extra chapter today, and after I save up the draft, I'll add another one tomorrow!!]

What does 268 have to do with me?! Takoyaki?! I'm going to boil your bones into a rich broth!

Almost everyone on the Straw Hat Ship was astonished by Duval's face.

Dubal also took out the wanted poster and presented it to everyone.

"Can you understand the fear of suddenly having countless people wanting to take my life?!"

"Why, why am I being hunted down by the Marine Headquarters and those infamous bounty hunters?!"

"It's all because you went to sea and became a famous pirate that I've had to live this life of hiding and running on the high seas!!"

"This is all your fault!! Give me back my life, Black Leg Sanji!!"

To everyone's surprise, Duval's supposedly cursed and bizarre appearance was exactly the same as Sanji's.

No, to be precise, it's very similar to the graffiti-like hand-drawn portrait on Sanji's wanted poster.

Luffy was greatly surprised: "Ah, it's exactly the same..."

Zoro nodded repeatedly, "They're practically identical!"

Franky wiped away his tears: "I feel a little sorry for that Duval guy."

Nami clutched her chest: "This is amazing! This world is truly vast and full of wonders!"

Usopp was also surprised and doubtful: "Sanji, could he have been born on the Miracle Star?!"

Robin also speculated, "His death will be quite interesting..."

Chopper swallowed hard: "I never thought there really was someone who looked exactly like the graffiti-like portrait on Sanji's wanted poster!" Ah Niu: "Awoo, awoo!!"

Merry, who had transformed into the ship's spirit, nodded frantically.

Whoosh whoosh! !

The continuous barrage of comments from his companions felt like sharp arrows, piercing Sanji's chest relentlessly.

This time, however, these arrows are not Cupid's arrows of love, but rather real arrows of harm!

Especially Brooke standing to the side~

"Yoho hahahaha, hahaha, cough cough, hahahaha!!"

Upon seeing the bounty poster and Duval's face, Brook laughed so hard he could barely stand. He lost all strength and collapsed to his knees on the deck, tears streaming down his face, clenching his fists and pounding the ground repeatedly.

Sanji: "..."

"Brook! I'll teach you a lesson later!!"

Instantly, a raging fire of extreme rage ignited within him. With a leap, he used Moonwalk to launch a swift attack towards Dival!

*'?II”

Dibaru was still grumbling on and on when suddenly he saw a pair of black leather shoes.

"What's it to me?!"

Sanji roared and kicked Duval off the giant black buffalo.

"I myself absolutely loathe that arrest warrant!!!"

Boom! !

Duval flew backward and crashed into a pillar, instantly passing out.

"Boss!!"

The Flying Fish Knights were immediately alarmed and surrounded them.

Well, at least for the time being, things are quiet.

"Yohoho, hahaha!!"

It came into view.

Only the uncontrollable laughter of the skeleton echoed there.

Sanji: "...Brook, I'm going to boil your bones into a soup!!"

As he spoke, still not satisfied, he rushed up to Dibaru, grabbed his face, and unleashed a flurry of kicks.

Plastic surgery? SHOOT!

In short, after the Sunny Going Merry landed in such a strange place, the conflict between the Straw Hat Pirates and the Flying Fish Knights came to an end after the personal grudge between Sanji and Duval was resolved.

Especially after Sanji gave him a thorough beating.

After waking up and realizing he had become handsome, this guy immediately treated Sanji like a benefactor, expressing his gratitude profusely.

Even their own Flying Fish Knights were renamed the Colorful Life Knights.

However, given his already not very bright personality, he seemed even more of an idiot.

Thus, after obtaining the nautical charts of the Sabaody Archipelago from Dubaru, they learned that their target island was not far away and could be reached in just a few hours.

Without hesitation, they headed towards the Sabaody Archipelago.

However, there was a little incident.

As a token of gratitude, Duval packed up all the fish-men and starfish imprisoned in the cage and gave them to Sanji and his friends.

Thus, Hachi and Kemi Papago were trembling with fear on the deck of the Going Merry.

The latter two already know that this group of people are not only not Xiao Ba's friends, but are actually his enemies!
