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

"Hahaha, how about it? Magellan, can't bring yourself to do it now?!"

Blackbeard, in an incredibly reckless move, lifted the unconscious Saldeese closer to his hand.

"After all, they are colleagues. You can't just disregard the lives of your subordinates like this!"

He grinned, revealing a set of bright, pockmarked white teeth.

"Blackbeard..."

Upon seeing him like this, Magellan's expression suddenly became completely calm.

"Did you know that when prisoners enter Impel Down, they all undergo a kind of [baptism]?"

"And we, the prison guards responsible for keeping watch, also have the same oath, no less solemn than that of baptism!!"

He spoke slowly there.

"Um?!"

Blackbeard looked at Magellan's appearance and suddenly felt uneasy.

“Sarudes made a strong statement in front of all of us when he entered Impel Down and became the warden.”

"If one day, when Impel Down is invaded, he could give up everything he could to protect the peace of Impel Down, even if..."

Magellan raised his head, staring at the black-bearded man whose face had suddenly changed, and said, word by word:

"I'd give my life for it!!!"

boom! !

Instantly, a surge of scarlet poison erupted from Magellan's body.

Beneath the drastically changed faces of Blackbeard and his crew~

"A giant poison soldier!!"

A low, calm shout echoed within the four underground levels of hell.

~~~~~~~~~

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

The sounds of clashing swords and guns, and the continuous roar of cannons, filled the air on this icy battlefield of the harbor.

After Luffy and his crew from the Straw Hat Pirates stormed in, the intensity of the battle seemed to escalate to a whole new level.

In addition to deploying troops to fight the Whitebeard Pirates' divisions and forty-three fleets, the Navy also sent out additional forces to restrict the Straw Hat Pirates' advance.

The first thing to do is to stop Luffy and Sabo.

Coincidentally, the first person to block their way was an old acquaintance of Luffy.

The White Hunter, Smoker.

"Straw Hat Boy!!"

His entire body transformed into a surging cloud of smoke, which rapidly billowed towards Luffy.

At the same time, he also gripped the [Ten-Hand] weapon tightly in his hand.

"You will absolutely not be allowed to pass through here again..."

Before he could finish speaking, a pitch-black fist appeared before him, growing larger and larger in his field of vision.

boom! !

The fist struck Smoker precisely on the right cheek, just like in the original version when he used the "Ten-Handed Sword" to slap Luffy's right cheek.

Boom! !

Smoker was sent flying by the punch.

They arrived so quickly, and flew away just as fast.

"That's...the smoker?!"

Luffy, having retracted his fist, finally saw clearly who he had knocked away.

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you so much to 'Zhu Shen Huanghun' for the two consecutive donations of 5,000 points each, totaling 10,000 points! Thank you!!! Thank you to 'Saber!' for another 1,000-point donation! Thank you so much!!!]

Is 350 really a pirate who's only been at sea for less than half a year? A mere nobody in the Straw Hat Pirates?!

Do you know that person?

"Ah, the garrison commander of Loguetown, I met him later in Alabasta..."

Luffy and Sabo chatted idly for a while, without even turning their heads, and continued running forward.

It was as if Smoker, who had been knocked away by Luffy, wasn't even worth the two of them stopping for long.

"Colonel Smoker!!"

Tashigi hurriedly ran to Smoker's side.

"Damn it...cough cough cough!!"

Smoker staggered to his feet, his face still bearing the clear fist mark left by Luffy.

Needless to say, the bloodstains on the corner of his mouth were also visible.

"Has the gap become this large?!"

Ignoring Tashigi's calls, Smoker stared intently at Luffy's retreating figure.

It felt as if an insurmountable chasm had appeared between the two sides, creating a huge gap!

Smoker clearly felt that he had no time to react to or dodge the attack.

He and Luffy, the Straw Hat Puppet Master, seem to be from completely different worlds!

This realization caused Smoker to grip his seastone weapon tightly.

He remained silent there for a long time.

Not only Smoker, but the other naval officers were also constantly observing Luffy, the captain of a heinous pirate crew with extremely evil blood and a wicked lineage.

"Even Smoker was easily defeated, is that it?!"

The sight of Smoker being knocked away naturally fell into the eyes of their group.

"Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, and if I'm not mistaken, he might also possess powerful Observation Haki..."

With a cigar dangling from his lips, the disheveled and gaunt-faced Onigumo brandished two famous swords.

"He has mastered all three colors of Haki, and probably quite proficiently at it..."

"It seems that unless a lieutenant general-level officer is deployed, this kid can't be stopped!!!"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Onigumo stomped his foot hard on the ground.

Whoosh! !

With the movement of one of the Six Powers, [Shave], Onigumo moved as if he had teleported, diagonally approaching Luffy!

The six famous swords wielding above his head seemed to come alive, aimed directly at Luffy's vital points!

"Stop, Straw Hat Boy!!"

Just as he was about to get close, Onigumo thrust the famous sword above his head with all his might.

And just then~

"throat!!"

A black blade, emerging from an angle, directly blocked Onigumo's attack.

"They want to deal with our captain..."

Zoro held "Autumn Water" in one hand and "Flower Island" in the other, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes revealing a beast-like gaze.

"They'll have to get past us sailors first!!!"

"【Pirate Hunter】..."

Feeling the considerable Armament Haki emanating from the opponent's sword, and the force of the feedback that allowed him to easily parry even his attacks...

Onigumo's expression gradually turned serious.

"No wonder he could block the world's greatest swordsman's attack..."

Onigumo said coldly, "He really does have some skills."

"It seems the guys in the bounty department who set the bounty order didn't give us enough for the 220 million Berry bounty!"

"oh?!"

Zoro raised an eyebrow.

"Then after this war is over, could you please tell them for me that it would be even better if you added a zero to the end of my bounty? That would make me even more satisfied!"

"Heh, not very old, but quite the appetite..."

Onigumo's expression grew even colder. "You really dare to dream of increasing the bounty by that much!"

"However, you are destined not to have that opportunity."

"because……."

Onigumo's hair moved without wind. "This battlefield is the end for your group!!!"

The six famous swords, entwined by the gray-black hair, began to dance once more!

"Life Returns - Spider King's Spear!!"

"Dual-wielding style, double-slash, ascending the tower!!"

The jet-black Armament Haki clashed one after another, and a powerful shockwave spread out from between the two!

"Dual Sword Style: Rhinoceros Return!!"

As soon as the collision ended and they separated, Zoro immediately assumed the Rhino stance, blocking the pursuing swords one after another.

"Eight-sword style, huh? We've met a worthy opponent!"

A look of keen interest appeared on his face. "The sword style I've encountered most often before is the Six-Sword Style."

"But it's a pity there wasn't a chance to fight. I never expected to run into a vice admiral using the Eight-Sword Style here..."

He pulled out the Wado Ichimonji and put it in his mouth.

"That's really lucky!!"

"Lucky?!"

Onigumo sneered, "You won't say that when I cut you down!!"

"Let's see who falls to whom then!!!"

After Zoro put the green bandana on his head, his eyes and his aura instantly changed!

"Um?!!"

Sensing the sudden change in the aura, Onigumo was startled.

He looked Zoro up and down once again.

Although the man hadn't changed much, he was completely different from before.

"Is this the first time they've gotten serious, and only now are they showing their true strength?!"

Onigumo's expression gradually calmed down.

"Looks like I've been underestimated too!!"

The two famous swords in his hands were instantly imbued with exquisite Armament Haki.

At the same time, a question suddenly arose in my mind:

"Is this guy really a pirate who's only been at sea for less than half a year?! How come his swordsmanship and Haki are both so masterful?!"

"If it's truly because of talent that they've grown so rapidly..."

The jet-black blade reflected the flickering light in Onigumo's eyes. "Then, no matter what, we must completely annihilate him here!!"

The blades of both knives also turned an incredibly dark black!
