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

It exploded into clouds of dust.

"You're all getting on in years, so please don't go out and do strenuous exercise anymore."

In mid-air, bright golden light flashed, and Kizaru pointed to his finger, speaking softly:

"If you accidentally get a cramp and break a bone, that could be quite troublesome."

"You want to tear my bones apart? Even Garp and Sengoku wouldn't dare say such nonsense..."

The golden lion squinted at the lewd-looking fellow and slowly said, "And what are you?!"

~~~~~~~~~

[I have to go out today. If I can come back in time, I'll update more. If I can't come back, well, then~~~].

366 It's that man again! Stop him! An assassination attempt by his son!! Whitebeard, he actually betrayed his comrades?!

Immediately, he raised his feet... and with [Sakura Ten] and [Kureki] on them, he kicked out a series of extremely sharp slashes at Kizaru at exceptionally tricky angles!

Since losing his legs, Golden Lion has used these two famous swords for transportation, and he also uses kicking techniques to unleash slashing attacks...

Yes, it's both a kicking technique and a slashing move, essentially a "clever" combination of Zoro and Sanji's skills~~~

However, this in no way diminishes the prowess and powerful output of this former world-class swordsman!

"Lion - Thousand Cut Valley!!!"

A golden sword aura, powerful enough to slice through a mountain-sized body of water, slashed through the air and hurtled towards Kizaru!

"This is so troublesome~"

He clasped his hands together and then slowly opened them.

"Wouldn't it be better to simply fade into obscurity, clinging to the legendary name of the past?!"

Countless photons condensed in his hand, radiating an extremely bright brilliance.

"This would save us trouble, but you insist on showing off your existence despite not being old. It's really scary and annoying, you monsters!"

Swish! !

A sword of light appeared between Kizaru's hands.

"The Kusanagi Sword!!"

Dang, Dang, Dang! !

The moment the dazzling sword of light took shape, Kizaru swung it, deflecting all the slashes!

"oh?!"

The Golden Lion looked down at Kizaru with great interest from above.

"Not bad swordsmanship at all."

He offered a fair assessment: "It's still a bit rough around the edges, relying too much on Devil Fruit abilities."

"But~~~"

He grinned, "After all, it's a Logia-type Devil Fruit ability. If it were me, I would desperately try to develop the fruit's power..."

At this point, the Golden Lion paused.

He thought again of that damned thunder boy who had gone to his levitation domain!

In an instant, his gaze also gradually turned cold.

"I hate you Logia-type Devil Fruit users the most!!"

Having clearly learned his lesson in this matter, the Golden Lion snorted coldly, then snapped his fingers.

"[Viper]!!!"

Rumble~! !

A deafening, earth-shaking sound followed.

Then, once again, everyone was shocked and numb as they watched the huge iceberg of the tsunami, which was sealed by the blue pheasant ice, slowly rise into the air as it split apart.

Just now, while I was chatting with Whitebeard, Shiki touched those icebergs along the way.

It was at this moment that he used the power of the Float-Float Fruit to carry it into the sky.

"Kid, if you want to stop me, just try! Hehehehehe!!!"

Amidst the loud laughter, the golden lion's body soared into the sky.

"Borsalino!!!"

Sengoku, standing on the high platform, let out a low shout, while Kizaru curled his lip and his body suddenly transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the sky.

For Shiki, who possesses the Float-Float Fruit, a Devil Fruit ability that grants him immense mobility, only Kizaru, who also possesses high mobility, could handle him!

Kizaru himself was naturally aware of this situation, although he was very reluctant to fight against this legendary monster from the sea.

After all, it was such a terrifying monster, both dangerous and troublesome.

However, since he was the only one who could be there, he had no choice but to fulfill his duty and go to the sky to fight the Golden Lion.

Thus, in the current Marineford War, two of the three admirals, who represent the Navy's highest combat power, have already been dispatched.

Aokiji, and Kizaru.

Those who faced them were also legendary pirates from around the world: Ryder and Golden Lion.

Therefore, the Navy's highest combat power is left with only the most courageous and aggressive Akainu.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the iron wall...

[The Great Vortex Spider] Squard hurried out with a gloomy expression.

Akainu stood there, gazing into the distance at Whitebeard, who was standing on Moby Dick.

The unwavering killing intent in his serious and focused eyes remained steadfast in the slightest!

On the contrary, as the battle intensified, it gradually became more and more heated!

…………

"Although that guy Golden Lion is a bastard and injured many of my sons, at least the ferocious beasts he brought back did draw the firepower of the pacifists."

"Furthermore, he himself attracted away Kizaru, a combatant of admiral level, so in a way, he did me a favor."

"And the Straw Hat Pirates, each of them is a force to be reckoned with..."

Whitebeard was there, carefully analyzing the battlefield situation. Currently, with the Straw Hat Pirates, Ace's brother, and Shiki joining the fray...

The current battle situation is progressing in a direction that is entirely favorable to them.

Furthermore, with that series of unexpected events, the morale of the navy had plummeted to a low point, while their own side was even more spirited.

If the navy doesn't do something, then the main outcome of this war is basically a foregone conclusion.

As Whitebeard was thinking this, he suddenly saw a figure walking quickly toward him.

"Squard?!"

Whitebeard glanced at the man who was his fleet commander, whom he still regarded as a son, but didn't think much of it.

He didn't even use his Observation Haki or any other senses to detect them, since they were all his sons and he didn't need to have any suspicion or wariness towards them.

However~~~

That's what he thought, and he did everything he should do as a father.

However, his judgment in choosing sons was not very good; among the sons he adopted, there were quite a few who were of mixed quality.

The most typical example is the one who is rapidly approaching us now.

"White beard……"

A flicker of hatred, as if betrayed, flashed in Squard's eyes.

"You actually have some kind of agreement with Fleet Admiral Sengoku, that you won't kill Ace and the Whitebeard Pirates, and in return, all of us pirates from the New World will be wiped out..."

"Is this the plan you conspired with the Navy to kill us all?!"

He drew closer and closer to Whitebeard, slowly raising the large sword in his hand.

It was just as Squard was getting closer to Whitebeard...

On the Navy side, Admiral Akainu, who had just finished negotiating with him, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who was on the execution platform, along with a few others, all had a barely perceptible glint in their eyes.

Just the next moment.

To everyone's surprise, including Whitebeard himself, Squard suddenly leaped high into the air, his giant sword thrusting straight towards Whitebeard's chest!

He was completely unguarded against his son. Even Whitebeard, who had returned to his peak condition, never expected that he would be betrayed by his son... a frontal assassination attempt!

Just as the greatsword was about to pierce Whitebeard's chest, and Akainu, Sengoku, and the others were about to display a cold, satisfied look of triumph...

Ding! !

Two fingers, crackling with lightning, gently gripped the massive blade.

At that moment, the blade of the large sword was less than a centimeter away from the white-bearded man's chest.

"As a son, he planned to ambush and kill his father..."

Link, his fingers gripping the longsword, glanced at Squard's grim face and said calmly:

"If this is the way New World pirates operate, then I've certainly learned my lesson!"

Click~! !

With a gentle push from Link, the Haki on the greatsword, which was wrapped in Squard's Armament Haki, shattered in an instant!

The massive blade, forged entirely from steel, shattered into countless fragments, just like glass, and exploded with a deafening roar!

"Um?!"

This scene caused Sengoku and the others, who had thought their plan was about to succeed, to suddenly change their expressions.

"It's that man again!!!"

The plan, which was originally intended to deal a heavy blow to Whitebeard, was about to succeed.

The result was...

"【Props Master】, it's the 【Props Master】 again..."

Sengoku's face was grim. "Every time at a crucial moment, this man always shows up to cause trouble!!!"

"He's even more hateful than Whitebeard, or even Shiki..."

If we were to list the pirates Sengoku most wanted to eliminate at this moment, Link would undoubtedly be number one!

It has even surpassed Whitebeard and Golden Lion!!

"Scuyard!!!"

When the fighting spirit was boiling over in the Warring States period~

"What are you doing, Squard?!"

The burning, immortal blue flames erupted, and Markuna's bird claws directly pinned the still-stunned Squard to the ground.

He was also startled by Squard's sudden turn of events. After rushing over and pinning Squard down, he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear, and cold sweat poured down his back.

If Squard's slash had actually succeeded, their father...

The thought of the consequences sent a shiver down Marco's spine, and he gave Link a grateful look.

Then he stared at Squard, who was pinned to the ground.

"What exactly do you want?!"

　"(Zhao Zhao Zhao)" Marco asked loudly in anger.

Just like Link said, as a son, how could he poison his own father, especially at such a crucial moment?!

"What do I want to do..."

Squard strained to lift his head, his gaze fixed on the still expressionless white-bearded man before him.

At this moment, his gaze did not seem to be looking at a father, but rather at an enemy.

"You should ask Whitebeard what he's planning!!"
