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

It is already quite difficult to wrest control of one's body back from these systems.

"You've really worked hard these past few days~"

Link sighed slightly.

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you so much to 'Eternal Night' for another 588 points!! Thank you everyone, here's an extra chapter!! Also, just to reiterate, I really didn't delete the comments. I'm so busy writing and thanking everyone for their donations, let alone the comments~]

362 An outlier among the Celestial Dragons!! An undercover Celestial Dragon!! Garp intervenes! He gets sent flying!!

"It's nothing~"

Big Bear slowly shook his head. "Compared to the people around the world who are suffering, I am nothing."

"Moreover, it is thanks to the tool you gave me, Link, that I have the opportunity and possibility to retain my consciousness."

"Otherwise, what you're seeing now is really just a robotic bear."

He even cracked a joke there, which was quite rare for him.

"It's also thanks to you that you were able to survive alone in that kind of environment."

Without any companions to help him, he had to rely on himself for everything, and Link truly admired Nobita's perseverance.

"So, what are you planning to do next?!"

He couldn't help but ask this crucial question.

"Since you have still come to this battlefield, it means that the Navy still uses you as a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"Yes, in their minds they will still see me as a robot that has lost its consciousness and human emotions."

Kuma spoke softly about his thoughts, "I plan to stay here at Marine Headquarters."

"Before undergoing the transformation, I was there to infiltrate as an undercover agent. Now that I've been transformed and have better cover, this might just be my opportunity."

"During the time I was undergoing the transformation, I waited in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise for the war to begin."

"Because I am a robot, the Navy and World Government personnel coming and going here don't really care about my presence, and they are busy with their own things without being on guard against me."

"After all, in their eyes, a robot doesn't know how to see or hear their affairs; it only knows how to accept and obey orders and act according to instructions."

"It is precisely because of their thinking and approach that I have obtained more intelligence that I could not access before. 770"

The bear's voice held a hint of excitement, clearly indicating that he was quite satisfied with the situation.

"So I plan to stay and stay as an undercover agent to provide intelligence for the Revolutionary Army and Dragon."

"In addition, while preparing for the start of the war, I also heard some even more bizarre rumors and stories."

The bear seemed to have thought of something and quickly shared the information with Link:

"In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, it seems that there are also considerable differences among the Celestial Dragons. Their views on other humans and races are not all about treating them as slaves."

"For example, Donquixote Musgard, whom I know, has always advocated for the harmonious coexistence of humans and fish-men. He even played a part in helping Jinbe become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"I want to see if I can find a suitable opportunity to make contact with this Celestial Dragon without revealing myself."

"If we could recruit a Celestial Dragon to the revolutionary camp, the benefits for us would be obvious!!"

In the end, Big Bear's tone became firm again.

Making contact with a Celestial Dragon carries a significant risk of exposure and was something that was previously considered impossible.

This was both dangerous and difficult, but for the sake of his revolutionary cause and his own conscience, Da Xiong threw himself into it without hesitation.

Link expressed his admiration for this, but also felt it was somewhat strange.

"Don Quixote Musgalud?!"

He had heard of this name before, and was quite familiar with it.

As one of only two Celestial Dragons who were on the good side, and the only one who survived and later reformed, they are truly rare animals.

Speaking of which, the Donquixote Family is simply an anomaly among the Celestial Dragons (cfbg).

Doflamingo's father, Donquixote Homingo, was very kind and friendly to slaves.

More than 30 years ago, he voluntarily gave up his Celestial Dragon identity, hoping to live the life of an ordinary person, but was hunted down by the people who had been persecuted by the Celestial Dragons in the past.

He was also shot and killed by Doflamingo out of resentment, and his head was taken back to Mary Geoise by Doflamingo. He longed to return to the Celestial Dragons, but was refused.

And this Musjarud is also a very stubborn guy.

He enjoyed collecting merman slaves, but later Fisher Tiger set Mary Geoise ablaze and freed all his merman slaves.

He led a group of hardened men to Fishman Island in order to reclaim his freed slaves, but during their voyage, their ship was attacked by sea kings and they drifted to Fishman Island.

Even though he was seriously injured and had nowhere to turn for help, he remained arrogant and coerced the island's inhabitants with his ugly and ferocious face to help him.

The fish-men, who had been enslaved by him, planned to take the opportunity to kill him, but Queen Otohime stopped them in time.

Just as he was about to shoot and kill Queen Otohime, he was so frightened by the sea kings attracted by Shirahoshi's crying that he fainted.

After recovering from his injuries, Queen Otohime personally escorted him back to the sacred land, and he was deeply moved by her admonition.

He turned over a new leaf, not only pushing Fishman Island to join the World Government and become one of its member states, but also deciding that one day he would repay Fishman Island for its kindness.

"If we consider it this way, then the Celestial Dragon who is currently the only one who is still alive and in relatively good condition does indeed have value in making contact with him."

Link nodded slightly at Big Bear's analysis, expressing his support for it.

After all, at the World Government Conference two years later, to repay the kindness of Neptune and the others, he personally taught Charles Ross Saint a lesson for his attempt to kidnap Shirahoshi.

He was sent flying with a single blow from the iron rod, his face contorted in pain; it was clear he had really used force.

He then ordered Rob Lucci, the CP0 officer who was preparing to eliminate Neptune in accordance with Charles Ross's orders, to stop.

After rescuing Neptune and White Star from danger, he knelt down and bowed deeply to Neptune.

As a Celestial Dragon, a member of the world's nobility, he knelt before a Fishman in front of so many people, completely disregarding his status and dignity...

It is precisely this action, in contrast to the previous Celestial Dragons' style of conduct, and considering that the Donquixote Family members are often so unique and extraordinary...

That's what makes people feel that he has truly improved and turned over a new leaf.

"Anyway, if things develop according to the normal trajectory, after the Marineford War ends, the robot Kuma will definitely not escape the situation of using the Celestial Dragons, who he thinks are very prestigious to ride on, as slaves."

"Then it is indeed possible to let Big Bear make some contact with that Don Quixote Musgarud in advance. Given his current nature, the risk of contact is much smaller."

"If successful, with the assistance of this Celestial Dragon, we can not only avoid the miserable situation of being enslaved, but also obtain more useful information and have more autonomy."

"This way, the bear can maintain constant contact with Sabo and the others, preparing for Sabo and his revolutionary army's invasion of the Holy Land Mary Geoise in the future."

"This way, even if the revolutionary army's operation fails, they will have another way to retreat."

"So, it's not a loss either..."

Link internally analyzed and weighed the pros and cons of Big Bear's plan, and after some thought, he felt that he could let Big Bear try it out.

Anyway, he's already managed to retain consciousness, so even if the consequences and his fate are terrible, can they be worse than the tragic situation in the original version?!

"If you need any help along the way, feel free to contact me anytime~"

"I will. I'll also need Link's help to convey this idea to Sabo and Dragon."

"Didn't you contact them?"

"We haven't found a suitable opportunity yet. Even on this battlefield, we can't have too much contact with them. If we do make contact, we should focus on attacking."

Big Bear is very alert and aware of his role as an undercover agent; he knows very well what he should be doing now.

"I understand……"

Link nodded to him, and as the smoke and dust gradually dissipated,

"If there's a chance, I'll treat you to drinks then!!"

He smiled and said goodbye to the bear, then disappeared from the spot once again.

"There's a chance..."

As Link disappeared, Big Bear silently thought to himself, "I really hope that day will come."

As the smoke gradually dissipated and his vision cleared, the battlefield reappeared in his field of vision, and all the expression on Big Bear's face vanished.

The gentle smile vanished, replaced by an expressionless face, like a cold robot devoid of emotion and thought.

"Ace, I'm going to rescue you..."

Little Oars charged forward, and once inside the bay, his massive body brought him very close to Ace's execution platform.

In particular, he only needs to reach out his hand to easily reach Ace's platform.

So~

The threat he poses is obvious.

"Shoot."

With a blank expression, Sengoku slowly pulled up the sleeve at his wrist.

Before Sengoku could make a move, Garp slowly stood up next to Ace.

"I'll do it!"

After whispering those words, he vanished from the spot.

"Ace..."

Little Oz's large hand was about to reach towards the execution platform.

However, in the very next second~

Below, Moria, who had retreated into the harbor, was also gathering a large number of shadows, their eyes filled with covetousness as they eagerly awaited Oars Jr.

Whoosh! !

An elderly man suddenly appeared in front of Little Oz.

"You big oaf, go back to where you came from!!!"

With a roar, a fist imbued with intense Armament Haki slammed heavily into Oars Jr.'s face, who had no time to react.

Boom! ! !

The resounding punches to the face echoed like the grandest bells, striking deep into everyone's hearts.

"Captain Oz!!!"

The Oars Pirates were screaming in shock.

They watched helplessly as Oz's face began to contort inwards where he had been hit, his eyes quickly turning white.

ba da~

One of the exposed large fangs also broke off instantly.

And, even more incredibly, the immense force of Garp's punch to Oars Jr.'s face sent his entire body flying through the air!

"He actually knocked out Little Oz with just one punch..."

The Whitebeard Pirates stared in disbelief at Oars Jr., whose feet were off the ground and who was flying backwards through the air.

"It flew out of the air!!!"

~~~~~~~~~

[Thanks to '13236..' for the 1000-point reward!! Thank you to '龍毅' for the 588-point reward!!]

363. Golden Lion Shiki has arrived! Hahaha! This Marine Headquarters, I'm back again!!

Whew!!

Its enormous body flew backward, blotting out the sky and casting a shadow over the entire bay.

What's most shocking is that his backward flight didn't slow down; he continued flying backward in mid-air.

From inside the bay, it flew out over the ice surface, and then from the ice surface, it flew over the Whitebeard Moby Dick.

Finally, Oz's massive body leaped over the Moby Dick and crashed into the sea outside Marineford Bay!

thump! ! !

A tremendous splash resounded, creating massive waves that resembled a raging torrent!

Like raindrops falling in a downpour.
