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

Thus, one walks on this vast ocean as a single person.

Brook and the Rumbar Pirates are arguably the purest group of people Red has ever met.

Of course, this is only in comparison; Ryder still cannot understand Brooke's love for panties.

That's why he regarded Brooke as his mentor and admired and respected him greatly.

And after he had discerned the thoughts of Mr. Brooke's companions...

"Meat?"

"liquor?"

"Beauty?"

"boast?"

"Treasure?"

"history?"

"Marshmallow?"

"Perverts and Coke??"

After he had looked around, he was speechless.

Indeed, in terms of such interests... he is quite a good match for Mr. Brooke, no wonder they can be companions on the same ship.

And besides these people~~~

Ryder glanced at Link, who was smiling at him, but whose eyes were flashing with lightning.

"..."

He withdrew his gaze from that direction.

This man is also very skilled in displaying domineering presence; there's no need to provoke him, he wouldn't go looking for trouble!

"Mr. Brooke's companion is indeed quite interesting, so let me join in the fun and have a drink with my little brother."

He looked at Brooke and said with a smile.

"Even that aloof Ryder has the idea of ​​forming an alliance?!"

"No! This isn't an alliance!! It's more like becoming the other side's subordinate fleet!!"

"Hey, you're kidding, right?! Ryder is someone who's on par with Pirate King Roger and Whitebeard, how could he possibly be willing to be someone else's subordinate?!"

In the nearby cell, the criminals saw that Ryder wasn't joking and was actually going to drink a little brother's drink.

Immediately, a sense of shock and excitement erupted.

A cacophony of unbelievable noises began to rise.

"Even the legendary pirate, Red Count Red Devil, chose to drink his underling's sake...?"

Shiryu also recovered from his shock and disorientation.

He couldn't help but press down the airplane cap on his head.

The cigar in his mouth burned at an alarming rate, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a wild, exaggerated upward curve.

"I guess I made the right bet!!!"

"I made an absolutely correct choice!!"

Shiryu's hands clenched suddenly, he took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, his eyes shone with an incredibly bright light!

That was just the tip of the iceberg of his already glimpse of a bright future, an overwhelming feeling of joy!

Unlike the uproar of others~

Ryder, however, completely ignored him, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at Brooke.

In Ryder's heart, drinking the little brother's wine was no burden at all.

Only Mr. Brooke could have done this much for him.

Others, including a pirate crew like the Straw Hat Pirates, were, in Ryder's eyes, merely incidental.

The only person he truly wanted to admire was Mr. Brooke, whom he had finally met again after decades!

As for his previous solitary nature, his sudden decision to join a faction this time...

The reason he was solitary before was because he had become accustomed to the ugliness of humanity, but Ryder's impression of Brook, whom he had just encountered for the first time, was very positive.

People always have a filter effect.

Especially over the decades, as Ryder witnessed this ugliness and depravity more deeply, he increasingly idealized and missed Brooke, the man he had first met.

Now, facing Brook right in front of him, how could he possibly remain unmoved?!

Moreover, people always change.

Having weathered decades of ups and downs, Ryder also wanted to find himself a companion.

Even at the very end of the Endless World, didn't he find Padong as a companion and start traveling the world together?!

"……I see."

Feel the determination in Ryder's words and eyes.

After a moment of silence, Brooke nodded slightly.

"Mr. Link, please help me open Ryder's cell as well."

"Good~"

Amidst the shock of everyone watching, Link stepped forward and sprinkled some sesame seeds on Ryder's door to unlock it.

The next second, the cell door opened.

"Thank you~"

Ryder gave an elegant bow, as if it were the etiquette of noble knights, displaying his noble temperament to the fullest.

He walked slowly out of the cell and stood with Shiryu, but kept a certain distance between them.

"He actually did it for real..."

All the prisoners in the surrounding cages, along with Ivankov and others who had heard of his legend, stared blankly at the scene, feeling as if the world was so fantastical that their gazes were slightly dazed.

"Crack~"

Link placed two small red neon-colored saucers in front of the two of them.

He took out a pot of baijiu (Chinese white liquor) and poured the clear, cool liquid into it.

As the liquor was poured, its rich aroma wafted out, tempting the throats of many prisoners in the arena.

It made their throats involuntarily roll there.

Among them, the tall male prisoner with a bright red nose was the most ardent, making no attempt to hide his craving for alcohol.

Even with such a strong desire for alcohol, he dared not utter a sound at this moment.

Those who could witness the events at Impel Down, one of the three major agencies under the World Government's Impel Down, including one of its two main combat forces, the warden Shiryu of the Rain, and Ryder, the "Lone Red" who is known for never forming alliances and having no companions.

·· ·····Requesting flowers· ······

These two figures, who are considered legendary figures in the world, pledged allegiance to an unknown... well, they do have some reputation, but they were only established for less than half a year and were extremely immature.

Such a scene absolutely gives one the feeling of witnessing history, making one's life worthwhile!

Tick ​​tock!

After pouring out the last drop of liquor, Link took out a larger bowl and plate, placed it in front of Luffy, and filled it up again.

In the original version, Luffy and Bartolomeo, among others, appear quite casual, and even the sake for Luffy's underlings is drunk in advance by Zoro.

However, when facing figures like Shiryu and Ryder, who have special identities and important backgrounds, the proper etiquette for serving wine to his underlings is especially essential.

This is especially necessary for someone like Ryder, who has an aristocratic air and values ​​rules.

Thus, after Link made the arrangements, the "little brother's wine" model was officially established.

"We hereby promise..."

....... ..... 0

Under the watchful eyes of everyone on the entire sixth underground level, Shiliu and Ryder picked up the red cup and saucer in front of them.

"I'm always willing to be the Straw Hat Pirates' shield, or their spear!!"

"I'd gladly risk my life and fortune to drink this cup of brotherly wine!!"

After saying that, the two raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp!

Seeing this, Luffy scratched his head, picked up the large glass of wine in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.

Thus, witnessed by many famous pirates in Impel Down, as well as the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Jinbe, Sabo of the Revolutionary Army, Ivankov, and many other heavyweight figures...

Shiryu and Ryder officially announced their joining the Straw Hat Pirates!

From this moment on, the Straw Hat Pirates gained two more formidable fighters!

This situation also brought an indescribable shock to the entire sixth underground level.

Besides the two guys~

"Ha, that's ridiculous."

Inside that multi-person cell, a figure with crimson skin, sitting upright on a cell bed and whom no one dared to approach, let out a disdainful sneer.

Only the weak resort to the strength of others!

He looked at the scene before him with disdain, "The weak cannot survive on this vast ocean!"

Then he closed his eyes and stopped paying attention.

This man firmly believes that only his own strength is important.

Believing only in his own strength, he firmly believed that as long as he became the strongest, he would not need to rely on anyone else. At that time, he could surpass everyone and obtain everything by his own strength.

This person is a believer in the supremacy of individual power.

And in the cage next door~

"Shiryu of the Rain, and Ryder of the Red Earl, have both chosen to join..."

The man stroking the golden hook in his hand spoke with a slight glint in his eyes.

"Perhaps this is the only chance to escape..."

As he thought this, Shiryu of the Rain and Ryder, who had drunk the wine for their younger brother, both stood up.

"From now on, we're captains under the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, hehehehe~"

Ryder, on the other hand, laughed heartily. As one gets older and experiences more, it's not uncommon to encounter predecessors from the past and experience things one hadn't experienced in the previous decades!

"They drank the 'little brother' sake with Luffy, so they're practically family now, right?"

"Well, that should be true."

Chopper and Usopp were having a question-and-answer session there.

Shiryu also looked up at Luffy and Link.

His gaze was mainly fixed on Link, and a burning intensity flashed in his eyes.

"As for your abilities, you can choose and decide for yourself, and then I'll lend you this glove."

Knowing what Xi was thinking, Link replied leisurely.

"Have you chosen your abilities carefully...?"

Shiryu's eyes flickered as he passed through the surrounding cells, among the prisoners who possessed peculiar Devil Fruit abilities.

The Fusion Fruit seems to be of little use to me...

The Mythical Zoan type of the Inu Inu no Mi (Dog-Dog Fruit), Nine-Tailed Fox form. Ha, a power only women use.
