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

"You're obviously just after the meat on that island, aren't you?"

Law glanced at Luffy, "Besides, the Kingdom of Women isn't a place you can just walk into. There's a rule that absolutely forbids men from entering."

“If a man accidentally wanders in, he will be punished, so…”

Luo glanced at Link with some curiosity.

How did this prop master manage to get into that island nation, and how did he manage to secure the assistance of this "Pirate Empress," one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?!

Although Luo was very curious, it involved Link's own private affairs, so he wisely refrained from asking too many questions.

However, his subordinates, Pekin and Xia Qi, were very interested in this.

"Hey, Boss of the Props Master, since you've reached an aid agreement with that Pirate Empress..."

The group, looking excited and gossipy, asked, "So you must have seen what she looks like, right?!"

"It's said she's the most beautiful woman in the world, with the most beautiful face in the entire world. Is that true?!"

"Legend has it that anyone who has witnessed her beauty, no matter who they are, will be captivated by her and eventually turn to stone!!"

Yes, regarding this point, having observed it up close, I can confidently tell you that it's true...

Seeing the group's curious and excited expressions, Link couldn't help but cough lightly.

He was just about to skip over this pointless topic when...

"Link~!!!"

A roar filled with grief and indignation echoed throughout the space, startling Chopper and Aniu, who were eating barbecue there.

"Seriously, have you really been preparing properly?!"

With snot and tears streaming down his face, Sanji wished he could grab Link by the collar right away.

"You actually went to that legendary island of women, the island of daughters! You're so enviable, no, it's just outrageous!!"

"You didn't cause any trouble on that island, did you? Look at us, we've been cultivating for hundreds of days straight without even seeing a beautiful woman."

"And you, on the other hand, went to that island teeming with beautiful women... Why, why is there such a huge gap between us?!"

In the end, Sanji himself couldn't bear the immense grief and anger of 740, and he knelt on the ground, pounding the ground repeatedly.

Tears and snot streamed down, almost forming a small lake.

"The Land of Women? That must be a wonderful place for men~"

Rayleigh also took a sip of his drink and said with a touch of nostalgia, "Although I've never been to that place, I've heard about the island from some old friends."

"Indeed, the island is made up entirely of women. I wonder how that old friend is doing now~"

The old friend he was referring to was, of course, Granny New from Gloriosa.

"The world's most beautiful woman, the 'Pirate Empress'?"

Robin, standing beside him, also put down his skewer of meat, crossed his silky legs, and looked at Link with a subtle smile:

"It seems our first mate has had quite an eventful time lately!"

"Yes, yes~"

Nami calmly tossed the meat skewers aside. "While we're diligently training inside, he's out there happily searching for outside help. I mean..."

She pursed her lips and scoffed, "Could it be that she went after him because of his title as 'the world's most beautiful woman'?"

"If that's really the case, I'd also like to see what this so-called 'world's most beautiful woman' actually looks like~~~"

The two seemed to be singing in unison, creating considerable verbal pressure.

Ok? !

Link suddenly sensed a peculiar targeting and aggressiveness in their words.

Moreover, this is definitely not his imagination.

"Ahem, those things are all in the past now, let's get down to business."

He pretended not to understand the implication and began to steer the conversation in the next direction.

This is the main topic they will be getting to next.

Heading to that so-called deep-sea prison, Impel Down!!

Once this serious matter was mentioned, all the previous cheerful, strange, and indignant atmospheres vanished.

~~~~~~~~~

[Thanks to 'jind..' for the generous donation of 588 points!!]

316 Farewell, farewell, sea! [Water Processing Powder] and Impel Down! A superb helmsman!!

Everyone straightened their backs and their expressions became serious.

Besides~~~

"Thanks for the treat!"

Yixiao put down the empty ramen bowl and chopsticks on the ground and said thank you.

"Now that Mr. Link has returned, and I have fulfilled my promise to guide you in the bet, whatever you do next is none of my business."

Yi Xiao picked up the cane and knife beside him and slowly stood up under the gazes of the crowd, who were both surprised and suddenly understood.

What they will discuss next is the heinous and unjust act of infiltrating the deep-sea prison to rescue another prisoner.

So it's understandable that he didn't want to stay and get involved, and it's a good thing for both of them.

"Then let's part ways here, and see you again by the sea."

As he spoke, he slightly opened his whitish eyes and gave everyone a carefree smile.

"Uncle Yixiao..."

Although he was also very reluctant, Luffy, who was clear about Ikko's bottom line and principles, did not step in to stop him.

Instead, she placed her hand on her straw hat and smiled at Ichiro, saying, "Thank you so much for everything these past few days!!"

"Thank you so much, Uncle!" Zoro nodded earnestly. "Next time we meet, I'll treat you to a drink!"

"Goodbye, uncle, thank you so much!!"

"Hey? Uncle Yixiao, are you leaving just like that? I'm really going to miss you."

"Aww, this is how men part ways; it doesn't need tears, waaaaah!!!"

"Yo-ho, yo-ho-ho, let's play a tune of parting then~"

After more than two hundred days of dedicated guidance and companionship, how could Luffy and his crew possibly remain indifferent?!

Immediately, everyone expressed their reluctance to part with her, as well as their respect and understanding for Yixiao's decision to leave.

"Uncle Yixiao!!"

Luffy took one last breath and said solemnly, "Don't forget our bet!!"

"Don't worry~"

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Yi Xiao's lips. "I can forget everything, but I can't forget this bet!!"

"That's good!!"

Luffy nodded, and just as he was about to say something more...

"Ahem, you don't mind if this old man comes along, do you?"

Suddenly, Rayleigh also stood up, coughed lightly, put down the meat skewers he had finished eating and the wine he had drunk, and then laughed.

"Uncle Rayleigh, even you..."

"Ah, this is a matter between you and Ace, so it's not appropriate for me to interfere."

Under Luffy and the others' astonished gazes, Rayleigh smiled and said, "Anyway, you've all gone through this period of training, and your strength has been honed to a considerable degree."

"Then my mission can be considered complete. This is your adventure and plan, and has little to do with me."

"After all, I've already retired, and all the turmoil on this vast sea has nothing to do with me anymore. I don't want to pay any more attention to it."

"not to mention……"

He glanced at Link standing there and adjusted his glasses. "You have better and more suitable options than this old man."

"I'm rather superfluous, and I can't offer any meaningful advice anyway. It wouldn't matter whether this old man is here or not."

Having made up his mind, he took a step and walked to Yixiao's side.

"Shall we go? To the casino together?"

He smiled and extended an invitation, "It's been a while since I've played, want to give it a try again?"

"I couldn't ask for more!!"

Yi Xiao tapped the cane-knife in his hand and immediately agreed.

The two of them walked out of the wallpaper shop together, seemingly without any worries.

"Uncle Yixiao, and also, Uncle Rayleigh..."

The group of people watched silently as the two figures walked away with such nonchalance, each silently expressing their own thoughts:

"Thank you very much."

The kindness of being taught is truly worth remembering!

"Okay~"

After the two left, Link clapped his hands slowly.

"Next, we will begin our rescue operation, but before that..."

Link looked at Law, "I'd like to hear your thoughts first, Law."

"I don't have any ideas."

Luo chuckled and sat cross-legged on the ground, "I'll just follow the arrangements of the [Props Master]!"

This statement indicates that he has already relinquished the initiative.

Not only Law, but all the other companions also smiled and looked at Link.

"Alright, regarding this operation, let me share some of my humble thoughts..."

"There's no such thing as a shallow idea, just tell us what to do, Link!!!"

Luffy immediately raised his hands and shouted his support.

"Uh-huh!!"

A group of people nodded in agreement.

"Since that's the case, then I'll just say it directly..."

Link looked around, a slight smile playing on his lips. "First, the first question, and also the most important one~"

"Has everyone... eaten their fill?!"

Ok? !

Everyone was taken aback at first, and then Luffy perfectly delivered his straight man performance:

"Of course!!"

Luffy patted his belly vigorously, "I'm just waiting for the big battle to begin!!"

"That's right, that's right, it's a perfect opportunity to test the results of our training!!"

"Bring on the deep-sea prison, whatever!!"

"There must be many experts inside, and there are definitely suitable opponents for us!!!"

"It's not like we haven't tried to get past the other three major organizations!!!"

Link's simple words immediately ignited the fighting spirit in everyone's hearts!

Seeing my teammates so in high spirits~~~

Link immediately waved his hand and officially announced:

"Then let's head towards our next destination, Impel Down!!"
