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

The village chief coughed a few times, trying to make his expression serious.

He was about to say something more when he suddenly realized a problem.

"By the way, why are you all drinking on both sides of this street?!"

The village chief asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Didn't we always go to Marcino's bar for drinks every time we celebrated before?!"

That's why the village chief came to the street, intending to go to the Makino Tavern to check on the situation... and have a drink while he was there.

Well, mainly because he'd been drinking for several days and wanted to indulge his craving for alcohol.

Before they even reached the tavern, they saw this group of grown men squatting on both sides of the street, raising their glasses.

"Makino's Tavern..."

Upon hearing this, the man who had first handed the bounty poster to the village chief Luffy sobered up a bit and shrank back.

"Ah, we can't go there now, 820!"

The man quickly shook his head. "A group of vicious bandits came down from the mountain and took over Makino's tavern."

"If we hadn't realized they meant no harm to Makino and just wanted to drink and eat, we would have fought them long ago..."

The man, emboldened by alcohol, patted his chest.

"Bandits..."

That must be Dadan and her group. They actually came down here too?!

The village chief said thoughtfully, "And then?"

"Then we were kicked out of the tavern."

The man replied matter-of-factly, "We couldn't beat the bandits to get into the tavern, but we wanted to continue drinking to celebrate Luffy's victory, so..."

"So you guys just stayed outside drinking here?!"

The village chief looked at the group of people with a speechless expression.

"Honestly, a bunch of alcoholics who can't stand not drinking..."

He shook his head.

Since Dadan and the others had come down from the mountain, they even went to Makino's tavern for a drink.

It seems I won't be able to have this little drink today.

Let's not disturb their enjoyment.

The village chief tapped his cane, shook his head, and prepared to leave so he could go home, brew a pot of tea, and savor it slowly.

And at that very moment~

"Oh no!!"

Suddenly, a commotion arose at the village's harbor.

"Pirates are coming!!"

Pirates?!

The village chief paused in his tracks.

Since the Whitebeard Pirates won the Marineford War, another wave of turmoil has gradually risen on this sea.

Many restless pirates began to try setting sail, either heading to the Grand Line or taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

"The world is in turmoil again~~~"

The village chief sighed.

He could also clearly sense that the number of pirates on the high seas had increased significantly recently.

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you again to the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for the generous donation!! Thank you!]

411 Garp was almost killed by Luffy! I'm only responsible for teaching swordsmanship; I know absolutely nothing about pirates!

"However, most of them are just rotten fish and shrimp."

He wasn't too worried about it.

The Kingdom of Goa may be wealthy, but their Windmill Village is simple and unpretentious.

Most of the pirates who come near their village are just scum who want to take advantage of the chaos and make a quick buck before running away.

In this way, they wouldn't even need to call in the navy; the simple and honest residents of their windmill village would be enough to deal with them.

The village chief was about to ignore it and go home.

"Oh no, village chief! This time, the pirates are different!!"

The villagers rushed over in a panic, shouting, "The other side is a genuine pirate, the kind who makes a living on the high seas!!"

"It's Dilar, known as the 'Bloody Reaper,' with a bounty of a whopping 2.5 million Berries!!"

"A real pirate?!"

The village chief's eyes narrowed slightly.

In the East China Sea, where the average bounty is only three million, a bounty of two and a half million is still below average.

But no matter how low the quality, it's still pirates!!

It was far beyond what the villagers could handle.

"This is troublesome..."

The village chief's expression gradually turned serious. "We can only try to find a way to bring the village back to normal..."

boom! ! !

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of cannon fire coming from the open sea.

Then came bursts of cheers.

Interspersed among the sounds were shouts of "Naval Heroes" and other similar cries.

"Um?!"

The village chief was slightly taken aback. Before he could go over and ask, villagers were already cheering and reporting the good news from the port into the village.

"It's Vice Admiral Garp of the Navy!! Garp is back!! He defeated all the pirates!!!"

Garp?!

That bastard actually came back?!

The village chief was somewhat surprised, as it seemed that Garp hadn't returned even once after Luffy set sail.

So this time, we came here...

He was pondering something when he suddenly heard a commotion behind him.

"Garp?! That idiot Garp is back?! Where is he?!"

Accompanied by a rough female voice, the village chief subconsciously turned around.

Then you can see the entrance to the Makino Tavern not far from here.

A middle-aged woman with a broad build, orange curly hair tied back, gold earrings, a white shirt, dark green plaid trousers, and a red beaded necklace, staggered out of the door, carrying a wine bottle in one hand and a long wanted poster in the other.

She is none other than Kali Dadan, the famous pirate from Mount Golpo and the pillar of the Dadan family.

Of course, she also has another identity: the foster mother of Luffy, Ace, and Sabo when they were young.

"Hahaha, his own grandson caused such a huge commotion, leading to the navy's defeat. As a vice admiral, he must be too ashamed to remain in the navy any longer!"

"Serves him right! Who told that idiot to help the Navy execute Ace?!"

"When it really matters, he's completely useless. It's all thanks to Luffy!"

"Get out of my way! I'm going to give that idiot a good scolding!!!"

Dadan rolled up her sleeves, cursing and swearing, intending to go find Garp and have a good talk with him.

As a result, the two bandits, one tall and one short, held Dadan tightly, not daring to let her make any move.

"You're drunk, boss!!!"

Their eyes were filled with terror. "That's Garp!!!"

"So what if it's Garp?! I'll still curse that Navy hero without hesitation!!!"

"But if we anger him, he might send us to jail!!!"

"So what if I go to jail... um~~~"

Upon hearing this, Dadan became somewhat more sober.

Back when she was a bandit, she had a bounty of 7.8 million Berries.

Then Garp used their bounty hunter status as leverage against them.

Fearing capture by Garp, Dadan and her subordinates lived in seclusion on Mount Gorpo. Later, Garp used them as a nursery and placed Ace and Luffy in her care.

Dadan was both heartbroken and furious when she saw Ace about to be publicly executed by the Navy.

However, after Luffy and Sabo arrived and successfully rescued Ace.

Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed completely.

Especially after Luffy's bounty was issued, he was so happy that he simply brought his subordinates to the Makino Tavern to drink and eat heartily to celebrate Luffy's arrival.

He got quite drunk and was a bit out of his mind.

"I actually want to go and curse that bastard Garp..."

A gust of wind blew by, and Dadan's expression cleared up a bit, feeling somewhat relieved.

Click-clack.

A series of neat, uniform marching footsteps echoed through the streets.

Those blue and white naval uniforms appeared at the end of the street.

Dadan was so frightened that he quickly led his men back into the tavern in a panic.

In his haste to leave, the bounty poster in his hand fell to the ground.

Then a gust of wind blew, carrying it forward along the street, and it landed in front of the burly old man at the very front.

"this is……"

Garp, his head wrapped in bandages, picked his nose with one hand and held the bounty poster in the other.

"Luffy's bounty poster?"

Looking at the familiar figure in the photo, Garp's bandaged face twitched.

"That brat really didn't hold back at all back then, he almost killed me..."

Luffy's Gear Fourth punch was indeed formidable, directly causing a fracture in Garp's skull with a single blow.

He was left lying in the rubble created by the collision with the Marine Headquarters, unable to climb out for a long time.

"1.8 billion? You've finally reached this point, Luffy..."

Seeing the string of numbers on the bounty poster, Garp, unusually, didn't laugh and boast, saying things like "Truly worthy of being my grandson."

Instead, he let out a soft sigh, a hint of melancholy appearing on his old face.

"Drag is like that, and so are you. Why can't you just listen to me and join the Navy?!"

"Once you enter the new world, I won't be able to help you with anything after that."

"Whether you are defeated by the Four Emperors or you defeat the Four Emperors and rise to power, only to be completely hated by the World Government, the trouble you cause at that time may be even more serious than what Ace is doing now."

"Forget it, I'm getting on in years. What the future holds is entirely up to you young people..."

Garp stared at Luffy's picture on the bounty poster, lost in thought for a moment.

On the other side of the East China Sea, in the village of Seimo Zhiji.

After this period of development, the Yixin Taoist temple in the village has become widely known.
