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

Everyone who saw this man in the green coat looked at him with the utmost respect.

Because this is their revolutionary leader, leading them towards a peaceful, just, and happy world!

"this is?!"

The man in the green coat suddenly stopped next to a telegraph machine and picked up the two wanted posters that had been delivered to him.

"These are the two latest pirates with bounties from the East Blue. They are said to have great potential for danger, and the Navy attaches great importance to them, which is why they have such high bounties," the staff member next to him immediately introduced.

The man in the green coat stared at the wanted poster in silence for three seconds, then put it down, left, and went outside.

[The East Blue isn't enough, Luffy! You have a much wider space and stage to explore!!]

He gazed at the sandstorm raging across the sky, muttering to himself.

Before you set sail for the Grand Line, take a look at yourself now!

At the same time, a green vortex rose from beneath his feet, and in the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared.

East China Sea, Windmill Village.

Inside the Makino Bar.

"cheers!!"

A group of villagers cheered there.

"Cheers to Luffy!!"

"Hey, hey, hey, a notorious pirate criminal has appeared in the village! Is that something to be happy about?!"

The village chief glared at him, but his reprimand had no effect; instead, it sparked another round of toasts.

"These guys..."

Please don't mind.

With the village chief looking troubled, the proprietress, Makino, smiled gently and handed him a cup of tea.

Everyone is happy for Luffy.

"First Ace, then Luffy. Both of them have embarked on the journey of pursuing their dreams, and they are both content. Look, village chief, how happy Luffy is."

Makino picked up Luffy's bounty poster. The grinning face in the photo seemed to remind Makino of Luffy when he was a child, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

"Besides Luffy, it seems he has found other good companions as well."

Makino's gaze also fell on another wanted poster. "And he's so handsome and dashing, he must be very reliable!!"

"I wonder if Luffy, with his personality, would be willing to cause trouble for others..."

"What 'accomplices'? I think they're just a bunch of criminal accomplices!"

The village chief was still there, fuming.

"cheers!!"

Hey! You guys!

Windmill Village, Luffy's hometown, is celebrating for him.

In Syrup Village, Kayamerry and the others saw the bounty poster and were all waiting to see when Usopp's bounty would be announced.

In Shells Town, Coby, who was doing odd jobs, looked at the wanted posters for Luffy and Link on the wall and secretly strengthened his resolve.

Meanwhile, in the prison cell, a navy officer held two arrest warrants, looking with a mocking expression at the trembling hand axe-wielding man inside.

In Cocoyasi Village, Nami's older sister, Nojiko, was pondering whether or not to hang Link's picture in the most prominent place in her room.

On a remote, uninhabited island, a red-nosed dwarf with only a head, hands, and feet, who was frantically trying to avoid strange birds, was panting heavily.

He took out the two wanted posters from his hat, gritted his teeth, and seemed to be filled with renewed motivation.

On the deck of a dog-headed warship in the East China Sea, a bone is being held between its teeth.

Adjutant Bogart, wearing a navy overcoat and a gray hat, held a bounty poster in his hand, pondering whether to disturb his superior officer who was inside the house making notes while breaking down piles of donuts.

However, after glancing at the particularly conspicuous "Monkey and D" on the wanted list, he hesitated slightly before knocking on the door.

Then I heard a sound like a donut collapsing inside.

Bogart: "..."

In short, after the Navy made its decision and the two arrest warrants were sent to every corner of the world, a ripple gradually spread around the globe.

But in such a situation?

Meanwhile, completely unaware that they were being targeted by the Navy's infamous White Hunters and were considered the highest threat by the Navy, with a bounty already issued, the Straw Hat crew was leisurely sailing on the high seas.

"Nami, can't I have one of those oranges?"

Luffy rubbed his head and complained to Nami beside him on the deck.

His gaze was fixed on the oranges that Sanji had brought from Cocoyasi Village and were on the ship.

"No way! If I let you eat whatever you want, you'll have eaten it all in less than two days!!"

On the deck, Nami, sitting on a sun lounger, rolled her eyes at Orange and refused in an annoyed tone.

Sanji also opened his arms wide, looking like a devoted follower determined to protect the orange tree completely.

"call?"

This made Luffy pout, clearly annoyed.

Zoro was resting nearby, while Usopp was preparing his own Chili Star.

Link, on the other hand, was checking and adjusting his props.

During this period of time, the group had not always been sailing so leisurely.

During their trip, they passed by a small shop that made particularly delicious oden (Japanese stew), and the food there was ridiculously cheap.

From there, they learned about Guo Nan, the notorious pirate who claimed to have collected one-third of the world's gold.

When they arrived at their destination, they discovered that the gold was nothing but a myth, and then came the inspirational quote left behind by Guo Nan.

During this time, a humanoid pirate who had eaten the Sound-Sound Fruit jumped out to get in the way, but Link and his crew quickly defeated him. The bounty on his head was used to pay for the oden.

When they passed by a clockwork island for supplies, they encountered a group of poker card pirates with two Devil Fruit users.

The Great Bear King, a user of the Iron-Steel Fruit, has a bounty of 11.6 million Berries.

Sweet Queen, user of the Paste-Paste Fruit, with a bounty of 7.8 million Berries.

The fruit's power is undeniably formidable, but unfortunately, it was obtained by these two good-for-nothings. They merely occupy this small island and act arrogantly, their actual strength being utterly pathetic.

One was knocked away by Luffy, and the other had his body, which had turned into mush, trapped by Nami using a small bottle.

Other pirate crews were also dealt with by Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp, without Link even having to lift a finger.

After dealing with these two groups, the group also felt that there was nowhere worth staying in the East China Sea, and began to set their sights on the Grand Line.

To reach the Grand Line, one cannot bypass one place: Loguetown.

It is also known as the Town of Beginnings and Ends, because it is the place where the Pirate King Gol D. Roger was born and died.

Upon hearing anything related to One Piece, Luffy insisted on going to see it for himself.

Thus, their final destination in the East China Sea was determined.

The Merry is sailing towards Loguetown.

"Things are really turbulent these days."

Nami sat there, flipping through the newspaper while complaining.

"And isn't the inflation a bit too severe? Even newspapers have gone up in price."

"If I buy some nice jewelry and clothes, wouldn't I be losing out?"

As she muttered to herself, two wanted posters suddenly slipped out from the newspaper as she turned the pages.

"Ok?"

Nami glanced over instinctively.

Luffy, who was standing nearby, was also drawn to the scene, and Usopp's Chili Star happened to be looking up at the same time.

Sanji, who was above, also saw this scene. Zoro chuckled and his gaze fell on the bounty poster.

"This is...wait?!!"

A series of exclamations erupted on the deck, causing Link, who was tidying up his props, to immediately look up.

"What's wrong?"

He asked aloud, then looked at his companions' surprised faces and followed their gaze to the two sheets lying on the deck.

"This is... an arrest warrant?!"

Link's eyes widened slightly. "And they're ours?!"

The first wanted poster that fell to the ground was none other than a picture of Luffy.

That smile revealed a set of bright white teeth and looked very happy.

The captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Monkey Luffy, has a bounty of 44 million Berries!

It's worth 14 million more than the original, which probably includes the fact that Monca and Clod faked their deaths, making it perfectly in line with his current net worth.

The second photo shows Link looking down at Arlong. His downcast smile has a touch more elegance than Luffy's sunny smile, making him incredibly handsome!

Link, the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and the "Tool Master," has a bounty of 55 million Berries!

Below the photo are the names and introductions. Luffy's surname is naturally "MONKEY," the English word for monkey, while Link's name is UNK.

A straightforward translation into Chinese would be "connection".

boom! !

The entire Straw Hat Pirates stared in disbelief at the two bounty posters.

"Have we finally... got a bounty on our heads?!"

Usopp stared at the photo and couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Hahahaha, this is my bounty poster! This is my bounty poster!!"

Luffy picked up his bounty poster, did somersaults on the ship, and jumped around happily!

"Yes, I've seen plenty of bounty posters, but this one is different..."

As Zoro spoke, he got up and walked towards the stern of the ship.

"Zoro, where are you going?!"

"Go to training!!"

Zoro said without turning his head, "The highest bounty in the East Blue before was only 20 million Berries, and 10,000 and 60 million."

As a result, our captain and first mate offered over three thousand bounties on their very first attempt.

"Clearly, the Navy attaches great importance to us and is eager to eliminate us as soon as possible."

"We might face a huge crisis soon, so of course we need to seize the time to improve our strength!"

Having said that, he left Usopp without giving him a reply.

Admittedly, Zoro's reasons are indeed very important, but there is another reason that cannot be ignored that drives his intense training with such a sense of urgency.

"Luffy and Link, they both have bounties on their heads, I can't fall behind them!!"

A fire blazed in Zoro's eyes—the fire of competitiveness!

Since you've become a pirate, what best reflects your fame and presence?

Without a doubt, it was a bounty issued by the Navy.

While it's not fair to say all pirates are like this, most pirates take pride in having high bounties, and Zoro is no exception.

"The realm of cutting iron? Let me think about it first. If I really can't understand it, I'll consult Link..."

Zoro went to train, while 580 waited for the next suitable opportunity to issue a bounty.

"Damn it, I fought hard too, why isn't there a bounty poster for me...?"

Sanji was also very resentful of the Navy, and he made a promise with Usopp that they would climb to the top of the pirate bounty list together next time.
