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

[Thank you so much to 'Call Me Monster' for yet another generous donation of 1000 points! Thank you!!]

335 retrieved his sword and robe, and stormed into the chief's office! "How about it, want to come out and do something with me?"

"We no longer need the power of someone like him!!"

Unlike the original Luffy, who was all alone and lacked allies, they were now trapped on the sixth floor and needed Crocodile's help.

Their current lineup is already incredibly strong, and they no longer need the power of someone like Crocodile!

Luffy and Link shared the same thought, and after unhesitatingly rejecting Crocodile...

Instead of rushing out again with a howl, he looked around at the cages with a strange expression.

After pausing for a few seconds to make sure no one would make a sound and disrupt his momentum,

"Let's go!!"

Luffy then gave a low command, intending to lead his group away.

"Do we need to go back to floor 5.5?"

He looked at Ivankov.

"No need. If the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marine Headquarters go to war, a battle of this scale could kill even a Shichibukai. My adorable boys are better off staying here."

Ivankov shook his head. "Anyway, I've handed everything over to little Feng boy. He'll be the queen of this new [New Human Paradise] from now on."

"I guess I've got a successor, hee hee~!!"

Ivankov spoke softly to Luffy.

These details about the 5.5 level were, of course, not to be revealed to the prisoners nearby.

"is it?"

Luffy thought of the way Bon Clay had looked at him when they came down, his gaze firm yet reluctant to leave, and he nodded.

He has always respected his friends' opinions.

"Should we just go straight to the ground floor and exit?!"

"Let me take my sword, number 25, first."

Shiryu said slowly, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be in Magellan's bastard office."

"Let's go back to the fourth floor then."

Luo said softly.

For a swordsman, the sword is his second life, a fact that everyone here understands and therefore has no objection.

Then~

"【ROOM】!!"

After Luffy's approving gaze fell upon him, Law immediately and skillfully opened his surgical space, the Slaughterhouse.

"Transfer!!"

Swish! !

The next second, the Straw Hat Pirates, including Shiryu and Ryder, the two newly joined subordinate pirates, Sabo and Ivankov, Jinbe, and Law himself, etc.

They all vanished from this place in an instant.

Only the prisoners on that entire floor remained, standing there in silence, staring at the spot where the others had stood.

Those were a few pieces of wood still radiating heat, with some burning ashes, seemingly representing the restless yet helpless hearts of the group.

They couldn't be as completely disillusioned with the World Government as Shiryu, nor could they accurately identify a suitable successor with a "what's the use" attitude.

They also couldn't do what Ryder did, willingly choosing a subordinate alliance with his mentor.

They themselves were once powerful and renowned pirates who dominated a region.

Asking them to choose to become a subordinate of a junior is absolutely impossible!

Even if you kill them, their remaining pitiful self-esteem and pride will not allow them to do so.

So they simply watched Link and the others leave without saying a word.

But the scenes that just happened here will be forever etched in their minds!

~~~~~~~~~

It's still the fourth level of Impel Down, the Burning Hell.

This time, however, it didn't appear in that storage room.

"This should be the place."

Luo looked up at the door in front of him, which had the words "Director's Office" pasted on it.

“That’s right, my sword is in here.”

Shiryu gazed at the door, his eyes filled with undisguised nostalgia, expectation, and hatred.

His hands were even unconsciously rubbing together, as if he couldn't wait to get his knife.

He could even feel his own sword, Thunderstorm, calling out to him.

"Hehehehe, and my robes and staff... but decades have passed, they should all have been disposed of by now~"

Ryder chuckled and, along with Shiliu, rushed into the now empty director's office without hesitation.

These monster-level pirates kept their most important personal items in the storage room of Magellan's office.

Normally, it might be difficult to search, but with Shiryu as an inside guide, it becomes incredibly convenient.

Just as the two were about to go inside to retrieve their belongings, the Straw Hat Pirates, also curious about the warden's room, went in to take a look.

Luo turned his head slightly, looked in a certain direction, and started walking.

At the entrance to this road, he saw it once again: the bald man who had noticed him and Zoro earlier but hadn't spoken up and had chosen to remain silent.

"It must be tough working here while being imprisoned~"

Luo chuckled as he looked at Mr. 1, and Daz Bonis laughed.

"Has it revealed its form?!"

Daz glanced at Law with his calm eyes.

At this moment, Luo did not use [Blind Spot Star] to conceal his figure.

Having confirmed that their target was not there and that they had come up empty-handed, there was no longer any need to conceal themselves.

"How about it, want to go out and do something with me?"

He extended an invitation to Daz.

Law noticed this person when he was the head of the Pirate Hunters and it seemed that he had some interaction with him before.

To be recognized by the leader of the "Pirate Hunters" must mean he's quite strong.

Moreover, he was a fairly intelligent man, quiet and reserved, and quite calm and composed, a rare type on his ship.

In the original version, Law did recruit the giant slave, Chamba, who belonged to the Celestial Dragon Roswald, in the Sabaody Archipelago.

He is incredibly strong, possessing superhuman strength comparable to the Pacifistas. Furthermore, having served as the captain of a pirate crew, he has considerable experience in team command and management, making him a valuable addition to Law's team.

Now that Chobaru is gone, Law has set his sights on Daz Bones, who once fought Zoro.

"Work with you?"

After receiving the invitation from Law, Daz's eyes twitched, but his gaze remained calm as he looked at him.

Give me a reason~

"Because I think you're pretty good."

Law smiled and said, "I am Trafalgar Law from the North Blue, and I am currently the captain of a pirate crew."

He introduced himself there.

"North Sea?"

Daz raised an eyebrow after hearing about the sea area where Law was located.

"So, you must know the story of the sea warrior Sora and Germa 66?!"

He asked in a very serious tone.

"Sora, the Ocean Warrior?!"

Upon hearing this title, Luo's expression became unusually serious.

"Everyone in Beihai knows the story of the sea warrior Sora!!"

He said in a deep voice, "I am a fair reader who supports the warrior of the sea, Sora!!"

"I hate despicable villains, Germa!!"

His voice held an unprecedented firmness.

Sora, the sea warrior, is the protagonist of a comic book serialized in the World Economic Newspaper.

Legend has it that Sora, the warrior of the sea, is a hero who appears alongside a fantastical giant robot warrior. She can walk on the sea and leads a combination robot and seagulls to fight against the despicable Germa 66!

Sora is a legendary sea hero based on the true stories of naval heroes, who lead their crew against an evil organization that repeatedly tries to corner them.

Furthermore, through the perennial villain Germa 66's repeated failures, the image of the Navy as a powerful and righteous force was created, which also served as a good brainwashing lesson for children.

Beihai is the region where this story has a fervent following.

Both Luo and his sister Rami were avid readers of this story.

Even among the supernovas, Hawkins and Drake, who also hail from the North Sea, are huge fans of this story.

In Wano Country, when Sanji first revealed his hidden darkness, it was rare for these two to remain on the same side, given their fanatical attitude.

"You admire Sora too?!"

Upon hearing this, Daz's calm gaze finally wavered.

The way they looked at Luo now held a hint of approval and... a sense of kinship as fellow book lovers and fans.

.........

Despite being an assassin and pirate, Daz's true dream is to become a hero.

Therefore, after sharing common interests and supporters with Luo 753, it was not difficult for the two to communicate.

Thus, with the help of the ocean warrior Sora, Luo successfully recruited this powerful reader into his ranks.

After using the power of the Op-Op Fruit to remove the seastone handcuffs from Daz, he took him back to the entrance of the warden's office.

There, he also met Shiliu, who had found his sword, and Ryder, who had changed into a bright red robe.

"Hehehe, I really have to thank Magellan for keeping my clothes, staff, and sword safe and sound."

Ryder stroked the alluring blue rose on his chest with one hand, and held the staff that was almost identical to Brooke's in his other hand.

The sword—no, more like an umbrella sword—was tapped on the ground.

"That's all he's good for."

Shiryu stroked the sword, which was entirely red and gold in color and had a crimson scabbard.

His hand rested on the crimson hilt, grasping the golden blade tip and the square golden guard, and slowly drew it out.

The blood-red blade, brimming with murderous intent, gleamed with crimson light, causing a flicker of intoxication in Shiryu's eyes.

He couldn't help but look up at Daz, whom Luo had brought back.

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes.

"Alright, now that we've got what we wanted..."

Luo subtly blocked Daz's path.

"Then let's leave."

Once again, he held up that operating room, a veritable slaughterhouse.

Shiryu, with a cigar in his mouth, turned his attention from Daz to Zoro.

He hadn't forgotten that this green-haired swordsman was just as strong!
