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

"Stubborn to the end!!!"

Seeing this, the Warring States period also slowly clenched his single hand.

Crack! !

The black arcs of electricity, radiating an overwhelming aura of Conqueror's Haki, shone brilliantly.

"Great Ape King Spear..."

Luffy blew air into his muscular arm once more, making that muscle and his fist grow bigger and bigger!

At the same time, the compression inside the muscle is also at its maximum.

Furthermore, faint black and red lightning crackled and appeared on that fist!

"Has he already glimpsed the basics of Conqueror's Haki [Entanglement]?!"

As Sengoku watched this scene, his pupils contracted slightly.

Although he hasn't quite mastered this technique yet, there's no denying that Straw Hat Luffy has already earned the right to stand at the pinnacle of the world!

"A talent as terrifying as that of Douglas Barrett, the 'Devil's Heir' from back then?!"

"No, he's even stronger than Barrett. After all, Barrett challenged many formidable opponents in the New World, but what about this Straw Hat kid?!"

"They've only been at sea for half a year, and they've already grown to this extent?!"

"Is this... the formidable talent of the D clan?!"

Sengoku, who vaguely knew some of the inside story, was shaken, but because of this, he was also concerned about Luffy's performance...

"Even if I can't keep my white beard, I'll definitely keep you here, Straw Hat Boy!!!"

At this moment, the murderous intent surging within Zhan Guo was even stronger than before!

"Such qualifications..."

The white-bearded man gazed into the distance, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

"He's even better than I was back then."

Whitebeard was known as a terrifying monster, but with Luffy, Whitebeard felt that this monster title might have to be given to someone else.

"Go for it!!"

Luffy's King Kong Gun, compressed to its maximum, blasted towards Sengoku's cheek.

"Buddha's Wrath - Divine Charge!!!"

Sengoku's black and red Conqueror's Haki shockwave, along with his single palm, rushed straight towards Luffy!

The clash between the Human-Human Fruit's power and Conqueror's Haki [Entanglement] is about to produce an extremely astonishing result.

At this moment, Luffy and Sengoku's eyes were only on each other.

Sabo, standing beside him, had a hint of worry in his eyes.

"If they fight like this, then Ace..."

The envelopment of Conqueror's Haki could have a significant impact, especially Sengoku's shockwave, which was almost an all-around attack.

If the two were to collide, the resulting shockwave might affect Ace...

Sabo tightened his grip on the hose.

If that moment ever comes, he'll risk his life to protect Ace!

"Fall down, Straw Hat Boy!!"

"Get out of my way, I'm getting my hair permed!!"

The two roared and unleashed their strongest attacks at that moment.

Everyone craned their necks, their eyes fixed on the execution platform that determined the course of the battle.

On the Sabaody Archipelago, whether people were standing or sitting, everyone straightened their backs at that moment.

Even breathing was unconsciously controlled.

Everyone, both on and off the battlefield, expected an incredibly violent collision to follow.

Moreover, their clash will determine the next step for Fire Fist Ace.

Was he rescued by the Straw Hat Pirates, or was he executed by Fleet Admiral Sengoku?

Nobody thought this collision would have a third outcome, except…

"Are you ready?!"

Link stood atop the iron wall, a red glint flashing in his eyes, a slow smile playing on his lips.

"!!"

At the same time, a red glint flashed in the eyes of Whitebeard, Akainu, and the battling Red and Aokiji.

Then, they all stared wide-eyed.

Meanwhile, on that execution platform, Sengoku and Luffy, who were focused entirely on each other, paid no attention to anything else.

It’s just~

Just the next second...

Wow!

The boundless Buddhist light that had been hovering above the execution platform vanished instantly!

Along with it, the enormous golden figure of the Warring States period also vanished!

"Eh eh eh?!!"

Luffy's eyes widened suddenly, his mouth gaped open, and his tongue almost popped out!

At this moment, the golden hair of the Warring States period, as well as his powerful and awe-inspiring attacks, were no longer visible in his eyes.

Instead, a figure he was very familiar with appeared.

He just stood there on the execution platform.

"Ugh...Usopp?!?"

His voice was filled with shock, bewilderment, and utter disbelief.

Of course, the strongest Great Ape King Spear attack also missed its mark because it was aimed directly at Sengoku's face. After Sengoku disappeared, the attack naturally missed its target.

"Marshal Sengoku... he's gone?!"

Not only was Luffy shocked to the point of jumping up and down, but the other Marines were also unable to believe what they were seeing...

Such a huge golden Buddha statue just vanished like that...

hum~

Suddenly, the dazzling golden light of Buddha appeared out of the corner of their eyes.

The sailors instinctively looked over and saw a place on the coast, far from the center of the battlefield, especially the execution platform, almost far from the naval headquarters.

The enormous golden Buddha statue from the Warring States period stands there.

At this moment, the admiral was also somewhat bewildered, completely unaware of what had happened.

His single palm was still pushing forward and standing upright, and the domineering aura and shockwave gathered in his palm were still solidifying and not dissipating.

"What...what exactly is going on?!"

The spirit and wisdom of the Warring States period made him instantly realize and react.

He suddenly looked toward the execution platform, where a man with a long nose was standing where he had been standing.

"The Straw Hat Pirates' sniper, [Sticky Gun] Usopp, why is he standing where I was just standing...?"

"And now, where I stand..."

Sengoku stared intently at Usopp, who was holding a strange gun on the execution platform, his mind racing. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head.

"So...we've switched places, haven't we?!"

Suddenly realizing this possibility, Sengoku's pupils instantly became bloodshot.

"Only two people on this battlefield are capable of switching positions."

"Trafalgar Law's [Surgeon of Death] has the ability to transfer items using the Ope Ope no Mi (Surgery Fruit), and the other one is..."

His head, stiff as a machine, stared in the direction of the iron wall.

"[Props Maker] Link!!"

He suddenly roared, "Is this your prop?!?"

Only Link's gadgets could achieve the effect of swapping his massive Buddha-like body, which is enveloped in Haki and immovable even by the Op-Op Fruit, with that of the Straw Hat Pirates' sniper!

The people of the Warring States period were no longer able to express their anger in words.

Even though he had taken precautions to protect himself before fighting Luffy, and was always on guard against the other party using gadgets to stop him or move Ace away.

But what I didn't expect was...

1.6 Link himself did not use the gadget; instead, he gave it to his crew.

In such a crucial situation, to entrust this task to a crew member?!

And~~~

This is different from what I expected. It wasn't Ace who was transferred away, but I who was transferred away?!

Did they fail to rescue the primary objective, but instead simply remove themselves, the biggest obstacle?!

"what……"

Link didn't even glance at Sengoku over there, and readily nodded in agreement.

"It is indeed my prop."

He looked toward the execution platform, at Usopp's figure, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"In the most crucial moments, you can always trust the title of 'Usopp the Great in Desperate Situations'!!"

Whether it's shooting through the World Government's flag in the original Water Seven, crucially saving Robin on the Bridge of Hesitation, or helping Zoro defeat a powerful enemy~

Back in Dressrosa, she scared Sugar unconscious, freeing all the little people who had been turned into toys. Later, when Sugar was facing Luffy and Law, she saved them in time.

And that crucial move during the battle against Barrett in the movie.

All of this is enough to demonstrate Usopp's reliability.

Of course, besides that, there is another, most important aspect.

380 The former "Fence Exchange Gun"! Ace rescued! Handcuffs removed, Ent Emperor reborn! Utter chaos erupts!!

Although Usopp was indeed very unlikable in the early stages, under Link's guidance, he has become much more stable and mature.

It can be of great use.

“I know very well that my every word and action will be watched by you in the Warring States period, so no matter what tool I take out, it will arouse your suspicion.”

"Even Zoro and Sanji, who have performed exceptionally well, are included in your scope of vigilance."

"Therefore, only someone like Usopp, whom you all disregard and consider a 'minor character,' can succeed at this crucial moment!!"

"Besides, only a sniper with exceptional eyesight like Usopp could execute your equipment with such precision."

Link glanced at the third gun he had given Usopp in his hand and chuckled.

"that is……"

Besides Link, Zoro's gaze was also focused on the gun in Usopp's hand.

"I think it was called..."

He remembered that when he first met Link, it was Link who used this gadget to successfully save him from the cross. The name of that gun seemed to be...

"It's a position-switching gun!!"

In the corner, Koby suddenly realized.

"I remember Mr. Link used this very gun to save Mr. Zoro!!!"

"That's right, that's exactly it..."
