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

Description: Shaped like a traditional oiled paper umbrella, if people stand under the umbrella together for more than 5 minutes, the person on the left will fall in love with the person on the right. There are no restrictions on the target; it works for both same-sex and opposite-sex individuals.

0 ....

However, it is worth noting that this can also be used for general rain protection, but be careful that friends who did not bring an umbrella and want to avoid the rain do not stay under the umbrella together for more than 5 minutes.

"But if Afang doesn't like me, wouldn't I be forcing her to like me?"

The eldest sister said, with a mixture of anticipation and worry.

What she wants is true love that doesn't rely on external factors!

"Then you can stay under the umbrella for two or three minutes first. At that time, she will develop feelings of love for you. Then you can leave the umbrella with her."

Link gave the correct usage: "In less than five minutes, she will not lose her mind loving you. After you step out from under the 'love umbrella,' she will slowly regain her rationality."

"If she gets very angry about it at that time, it means she doesn't like you."

"But if she's shy and blushing, then that means..."

"That means there's something going on between us!!!"

The proprietress's eyes suddenly lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly.

"That's how Link snapped his fingers."

"Oh, thank you so much!!"

The older sister excitedly grabbed Link's hand, "You've really helped me a lot."

"It's okay, it's just a little effort."

"I'm not saying anything more, sister. I'll waive today's order for you. If you want meat in the future, just come to me! My name is Chunbo!"

Hmm, no wonder you took a liking to Afang~~~

Link felt that, based on the name alone, the two would most likely get together even without the "Love Umbrella".

This is fate bringing the two of them together.

"No need, one thing at a time, the money still needs to be paid."

"That won't do. Listen to your sister Chunbo, this is settled. If you pay any more, I'll get angry!!"

Without a word, the proprietress waived Link's bill. "By the way, sister, where do you live? I'll bring it back to you when I'm done."

"No need, just leave it here for now. I'll come get it when I have time. I have another one just like it."

That's enough.

[Thank you so much to '1370..' for the 2000-point reward!! And to '爱看单女主的猪' for the 1000-point reward!! Thank you!!]

Grandma 299! Was that a man?! It was him! How did he get to this place?!

Well, Link has pulled out quite a few strange umbrellas lately.

For example, umbrellas for weightlifting training, umbrellas for celebratory fireworks, umbrellas for bat-like flight, etc.?

Thus, under the witness of this "love umbrella," the relationship between Link and the landlady made rapid progress.

Then, while Link was enjoying his meal, his older sister was getting even more excited and grilling with great enthusiasm, and the two were chatting happily.

In an attic on the street, an elderly man, shorter than average, with white wavy hair and a flower tucked into his left hairline, was reading a newspaper with one hand and taking a sip of flower tea from the table with the other.

He also tapped the ground with a cane made from the snake he kept nearby, which he had coiled up.

"Things are really getting out of hand lately!"

"This year's Supernovas number a whopping thirteen!! Whether compared to last year's White Horse Cavendish or the previous Fire Fist Ace, both in terms of quantity and quality..."

The quantity has increased significantly.

"Especially that Straw Hat Pirates, including the captain, first mate, and crew, they actually have four Supernovas!!"

"Moreover, both the captain and the first mate have bounties exceeding 550 million. In the first half of the Grand Line, they already had such figures. Just what heinous things did they do?!"

"Well, if Enies Lobby is destroyed, then the '80s and 90s' are indeed committing an unforgivable crime..."

As she spoke, she took another sip of tea and couldn't help but shake her head.

"The world is getting more and more decadent."

"If the Navy doesn't do something, there might be even more Supernovas next year..."

The old woman, shaking her head, also looked down at the street below.

"Furthermore, the Navy has already developed a technology to use Seastone to enter the Calm Belt, which would eliminate Amazon Lily's original barrier..."

Where will things develop in the future?

She looked somewhat worried and let out a sorrowful sigh.

Then, her gaze unconsciously drifted to the side of the street where someone was rowing.

".?"

The old woman paused slightly, then blinked again.

"That person is..."

After blinking several times to make sure she wasn't seeing things, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"It's a man!!!"

"and……"

She suddenly picked up the newspaper on the table and compared it with the article and some information about the Straw Hat Pirates.

They also took out the accompanying bounty posters and flipped through and compared them one by one.

"found it!!"

Suddenly, she paused and took out a bounty poster.

She looked closely at the picture above, then compared it to the people rowing boats on the street below...

"It really is that person!!"

The old woman couldn't help but gasp:

"How did he end up in this place?!"

She gazed in the direction of Link, utterly perplexed, and muttered to herself:

"Link, the first mate of the Straw Hat Pirates, the [Tool Master]..."

Especially when she thought about the other party's bounty of 550 million Berries, she became quite unsettled.

Such a dangerous person, and one who was at the height of his fame, had come to this Nine-Shell Island; she couldn't help but be worried.

"Could it be that this guy came here because he heard about the legend of the Nine-Shell Island's Women's Kingdom?"

A hint of wariness appeared in the old woman's eyes.

It's no wonder she would have such thoughts, given her decades of experience living in the outside world.

She had a fairly thorough understanding of men's nature and essence.

However, the other party did not take any further action, and she did not make any rash moves.

With the Kuja Pirates currently out on a campaign, there aren't many living forces on the island capable of contending with this great pirate with a bounty of over 500 million Berries.

After thinking for a moment, the old woman quietly left the attic.

"Thank you so much, big sister."

"No need to be so polite. If you like the food, I'll give you a discount next time you and your friends come!"

After wrapping up all the remaining skewers, the proprietress waved goodbye to Link warmly.

"Next words"

After finishing the skewer of grilled meat in his hand, Link took two steps forward.

Then~

"Would you like to try some, Grandma New?"

He took out a new skewer of grilled meat and asked Grandma New, who was pretending to look at the goods at the nearby fabric stall, "..."

Grandma New: "..."

He actually knows me?!

Grandma Niu, having been exposed, coughed lightly.

"I never expected that someone would still recognize me, even though I'm already so old..."

Now that her identity has been discovered, there is no need to hide it anymore.

"Grandma New, what are you saying? Anyone who leaves a mark on this sea will surely be remembered by those who come after."

Link said with a smile.

"Leave your footprints..."

Grandma Niu couldn't help but look nostalgic as she recalled the time when she left this land to seek true love and ventured to the open sea. She couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

"Let's talk."

She looked at Link with some curiosity. "How do you know me?"

"During this time, we arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, where we met Uncle Rayleigh and Sister Shakky, and we talked about many things."

"Rayleigh and Shakky~"

Grandma Niu's face showed a look of realization. "It really has been a long time since we last met."

"I didn't expect they still live in the Sabaody Archipelago... So how did you get here?"

"It might be a little inconvenient to talk here?"

Link looked around and noticed that some women were casting curious glances in their direction.

"I wonder if Grandma Niu would do me the honor of inviting you for tea, as a junior?"

"Hey, since you know Rayleigh and Shakky, there's no need to ask for special treatment. Come to my place!"

It's always easier to get things done when you know someone.

With Rayleigh and Shakky's connection, it's clear that Granny New's attitude towards Link has become much kinder.

Link followed Granny New to the door of her little house.

Meanwhile, three figures were already waiting at Grandma New's door.

"Grandma New!"

The woman in the very center, with short blonde hair that curled slightly upwards at the ends and a slender figure, immediately stepped forward to greet Granny New when she saw her return.

"They've arrived, Margaret, Stobby, Aphrodite."

Grandma Niu seemed to be used to this, and greeted the three of them one by one.

"Yes, Captain Kikyo asked us to bring you your supplies for this month."

Margaret, who was in the middle of the trio, replied with a smile, then looked at Link behind Granny New with some curiosity.

As she looked at Link, Link was also sizing them up.

Yes, these three people in front of me are the same three who first discovered Luffy in the original story.

In the center, Margaret is wearing a swimsuit made of animal skin on her upper body and a mini-skirt made of animal skin on her lower body. She is also wearing a white cape. A black and green striped snake is wrapped around her waist. She is wearing black and white striped trousers and high-heeled boots on her right leg.

She presents herself as a very capable female warrior, exuding a wild and beautiful aura.

"This person is so strange."

Aphilandora, who was to Margaret's right and was extremely tall, several heads taller than a normal person, asked with some confusion.

She looked at Link with a somewhat naive expression and said, "She doesn't have breasts on her upper body, does she?"

"It really is, Nozomi!!"

The woman, who was of robust build, always added "zhijuan" to the end of her sentences, and who looked very similar to a man, surprised Stobbi.

"And the clothes she's wearing are completely different from ours, a style we've never seen before. Is it to better cover her upper body?"

"Generally speaking, puberty begins around the age of fourteen or fifteen. Is she malnourished, or does she have some kind of strange illness?"
