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

"Ooooooo!"

"Because being able to talk affects the speed of a punch? What kind of logic is that??"

Papa Gudang was immediately somewhat disheveled in the wind.

Actually, when Link took Ah Niu as his apprentice, he also thought about giving Ah Niu a tool that would allow animals to speak human language.

The most straightforward solution would be to feed Ah Niu the "translation konjac," and that would solve the problem.

But Ah Niu refused.

In its own words, if it could speak human language, it would be like its master and others, speaking many words every day.

As for manatees, they only need to make a few "roaring" sounds each day to express their meaning.

This would allow for more time to talk, which could then be used for cultivation.

Lu Xun, also known as Zhou Enlai, said:

"There are no geniuses out there. I just used the time others spent talking to cultivate!"

Therefore, Link naturally did not want to force the issue.

Ah Niu sacrificed his chance to speak, and in return, he gained his current formidable strength!

Already possessing exceptional intelligence and talent, it reached an even higher level after drinking Link's [Talent Potion].

Especially with this relentless training day and night, its improvement in strength is quite remarkable!

That said, after Franky and Brook boarded the ship, they each received a [Talent Potion].

There were exactly two bottles of [Talent Potion] left, and they were supposed to be distributed to everyone, one bottle each.

But at that very moment, Link happened to obtain a new item.

It was a cup prop that was entirely yellow and looked similar to an ordinary cup.

The only difference is that it has two buttons, one blue and one red, on the rim of the cup.

Item: [Expandable Cup] (also known as [Automatic Increasing/Decreasing Cup]).

Description: Shaped like a cup, it can be enlarged or shrunk according to the user's preferences, and the contents placed inside will also change size or quantity.

For example, in the original story, Nobita wanted a drink because of the hot weather, but when he got home, he found that Doraemon, who was thirsty, had only given him a little bit of the drink left, so he immediately started crying and making a fuss.

With no other option, Doraemon took out a gadget and poured the remaining juice into the cup.

Then, the red button for enlarging was pressed, and instantly, the cup, along with its contents, expanded.

The juice inside instantly turned into a small pool!

Conversely, if you press the blue button that represents shrinking, the cup and its contents will also shrink.

Link poured one of the [Talent Potions] into the [Expandable Cup] and then pressed the enlarge button.

Suddenly, he no longer had to worry about the shortage of [Talent Potions].

This way, no matter how many more crew members join later, this standard onboard gift will never be lacking again!

After drinking the [Talent Potion], Franky and Brook also gained more insights.

Franky, on the other hand, had a more comprehensive idea about modifying his own body.

Brook composed several moving pieces, and these pieces subtly contained a power that influenced the soul.

And when he sparred with Zoro, the swordsmanship he wielded also carried a hint of icy coldness.

In short, the Straw Hat Pirates are all moving in a positive direction.

Later, because Kemi and Papagu were bragging about Hachi's takoyaki, they were just passing by on their way to the Sabaody Archipelago.

Luffy and his crew then took Hachi's takoyaki boat stall with them as well.

During this time, Xiao Ba used all six hands and put in his best effort to make takoyaki of various flavors for everyone.

Broth-based, sauce-based, spicy...

The Straw Hat crew thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

"So delicious! So delicious!!"

Luffy used both his hands and feet to stuff his face completely...

Usopp ate with a blissful expression, while Chopper wished he had more hands.

Brooke was so hungry that his cheeks were almost falling off, even though he didn't have cheeks.

Zoro devoured the takoyaki and drank heavily, while Sanji ate his own takoyaki, staring at it with a mixture of admiration and resentment.

The taste is truly exceptional.

"The octopus sauce made from the head of a giant deep-sea octopus, combined with the flavor that Hachi made after rejecting his girlfriend, is truly extraordinary."

Link ate two or three boxes in a row; the taste was indeed incredibly delicious!!

On the way to the deep-sea prison, Hachi, with the help of his six arms, successfully escaped from the navy ship and planned to return to his hometown.

During this time, he rescued an injured panda shark from the mouth of a large sea monster, and was warmly invited to his home, where he was given a piece of meat with bones.

Interestingly, a green Devil Fruit was also stored in the panda shark's refrigerator?

After receiving the meat and bones, Hachiko later encountered a hungry man on a deserted island. Giving him the meat and bones, she finally had something to eat and wept with joy. The man devoured the meat and bones, then gave it to Hachiko.

Eight gold rings.

This is the ring that Princess Goldfish lost. After returning it to Princess Goldfish, you will receive a large amount of treasure and the "legendary sauce" for making takoyaki.

During their journey, they once again rescued the mermaid Kemi and the starfish Papagu from the jaws of a sea monster, and with their help, successfully extracted the sauce from the head of the giant deep-sea octopus, which could be opened.

With both money and skills, Hachi decided to make delicious takoyaki to propose to his girlfriend, Octopus.

However, on the way, they encountered the villagers of Yiyu Village who were suffering from disaster. Without saying a word, Xiaoba used all his treasures to buy materials and utensils for making takoyaki and made takoyaki to help the disaster victims.

This led to his failed marriage proposal, but he also received a reward from the villagers of Eyu Village, who built him a takoyaki shop called "Takoyaki No. 8" at sea.

Hachi was thus able to realize his childhood dream of opening a takoyaki shop.

This experience was truly fascinating.

Savoring the delicious taste of these takoyaki, one can also find a reflection of Hachi's inner journey.

After being dumped by his girlfriend, he had a sudden realization: women only affect the speed at which he makes takoyaki. Only by realizing this can he make takoyaki that is absolutely delicious.

And so, while Hachi was making takoyaki and everyone was eating it...

The outline of the Sabaody Archipelago, not far away, slowly came into view.

Near the Naval Headquarters, there is the world's largest mangrove tree, named the Yarchiman Mangrove.

Because the tree roots are always exposed above the water, the various tree roots intertwine to form the Sabaody Archipelago.

Although it is called an island, it is built on a large tree and therefore does not have the magnetic force to record the Pose. It is just a transit station in the middle of the Grand Line.

The most distinctive feature of the Sabaody Archipelago is the special natural resin secreted by the roots of the Yarchiman mangrove tree due to respiration.

The resin expands due to the air, forming bubbles that then float into the sky.

Of course, these bubbles, made from the Yarchiman mangrove, can only exist on this island.

However, due to the increase in bubbles, bubble cars, bubble Ferris wheels, houses built on bubbles... bubble culture has permeated every part of Sabaody Archipelago! Therefore, the Sabaody Archipelago is also known as the "Soap Bubble Islands".

[Thank you so much 'M' for the 2000-point reward!! This is an extra chapter; the rest will be released this afternoon!!]

270 Extortion Bar, Xia Qi, is that what they call a prop?!

The Sabaody Archipelago is composed of 79 trees, each numbered and corresponding to a town and facility in a specific area, dividing the island into different zones.

For example, areas numbered one through twenty-nine are a mixed bag, with illegal human trafficking and auctions taking place there.

After finishing making takoyaki, Hachi collapsed on the deck, panting heavily, and explained the situation of the Sabaody Archipelago to everyone.

In his words, he came to the Sabaody Archipelago from Fishman Island when he was very young twenty years ago, and met some good friends here.

One of them is a very skilled shipyard coating technician. If you want to go to Fishman Island, you can ask him to help you with the coating.

If it were the Straw Hat Pirates who had arrived here normally, they would have already been eager to find the coating master.

Then, while the ship is being coated, enjoy yourself on the Sabaody Archipelago. After the coating is finished, head to Fishman Island.

Everything is so perfect.

But now~

"Link, what should we do next?"

Luffy's round belly instantly deflated, and he stared intently at Link.

Instead of heading straight to the deep-sea prison, they came to the Sabaody Archipelago, just as Link had suggested.

"It's very simple, the first step is to find someone."

Link snapped his fingers. "The 'Extortion Bar' near Mangrove Tree Thirteen?"

"Twist? A rip-off bar?"

Exhausted, Hachi raised his head. "That's the bar that Shakky runs, and it's also the place where Rayleigh, the famous coating artist, lives, which I mentioned to you before."

"Are you going there? I can help you find out more, Ah?"

20

"A coating technician? Rayleigh?"

Luffy scratched his head. "Are we going to coat the Going Merry right now?"

"Can we put this kind of thing on hold for now?!"

"Idiot, Link knows more about this than you do."

Nami, who was standing next to him, then chimed in, "I think there must be a deeper meaning to the place Link is going to and the person he's looking for, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Link nodded. "That guy named Rayleigh is Ace's father's right-hand man, so he should be able to offer some help."

"He was Ace's father's right-hand man..."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded subconsciously.

Then~~~

and many more! !

Ace's father's right-hand man? They heard from Luffy that Ace's father was the Pirate King Roger.

That means...

"That Rayleigh, is a member of the Pirate King's crew?!"

Usopp immediately shouted out.

"Indeed, I've heard of the name Rayleigh before?"

Robin, also holding her face, recalled, "[Pluto] Rayleigh, full name Silvers Rayleigh."

The vice-captain of One Piece...

The group of people were taken aback.

"Aww, I remember now!!"

The vice-captain of the Pirate King's ship!!

Franky tapped his hand, "When Roger and the others arrived at Water Seven, there were two idiots on the ship arguing about whether the South Pole or the North Pole was colder."

"Then I got a lecture from Mr. Rayleigh, which I actually quite miss now, ahh!!"

Of course, there was also a samurai named Kozuki Oden who had to ask questions about everything he saw, had an exceptionally strong thirst for knowledge, and was prone to making loud noises that annoyed people.

Even more reckless and annoying than Luffy now, he casually plays with his inventions and ignores him no matter how many times he yells at him. He's the guy he really dislikes.

"The vice-captain of the Pirate King..."

Luffy's eyes lit up instantly. "I really want to get to know you?"

"Let's go, guys, on our way to the extortion bar!!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"
