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

Looks like she's sleeping.

He immediately grinned, "Then let's hurry up and finish eating, and leave right away!!"

As Luffy rolled up his sleeves, he prepared to pounce on the enormous restaurant.

"Hey, hey, I'm still here!"

Link grabbed Luffy by the back of his neck and collar.

"To take something without permission is to steal."

"But we are pirates!!"

Luffy stood there, speaking with righteous indignation.

“This is different. We are now guests of the Dragon Palace.”

Link shook his head, "As guests, they went to one of the houses of the host family to steal their food..."

"Besides, if you're going to eat it, you'll definitely make sure they finish it all. What if they go hungry?"

"Ah, that seems to be the case..."

Luffy hadn't listened to anything before, but as soon as he heard that the other person would also go hungry, he immediately quieted down.

"Then I'll ask her if she's hungry. If she's not hungry, I'll eat it for her!"

Luffy, being quite considerate, chuckled and said, "We can't just waste all this food!!!"

This guy even knew to consider things from this perspective, making it a legitimate reason for him to eat the other person's food.

Sure enough, this guy would immediately start thinking whenever the topic was related to food.

It seems like Luffy only has two things on his mind.

One thing is eating meat, and the other thing is also eating meat.

While the two were talking, without Luffy having to call out, the figure trembled slightly and awoke from its slumber.

"Is this for food delivery?"

The soft, delicate sound of glutinous rice being cooked rang out.

pat.

The lights inside the hard-shell tower were turned on, and a massive figure rubbed his eyes and slowly sat up from the bed.

"Has the food cart arrived yet? But I'm not hungry at all..."

She spoke softly, her voice filled with sadness and sorrow.

Although her voice sounded soft and weak, it conveyed a sense of vicissitude, as if she had experienced many things in life.

"I really want to go out..."

She spoke in a low voice, with faint sobs.

Since she was forced to live here eight years ago, no one has come to see her except for her father and brother.

She never went out again and has always been alone.

Even the soldiers who came to deliver meals would leave in a hurry after dropping off the food cart, giving her no chance to interact with others.

·· ·····Requesting flowers· ······

Therefore, she still thought that only the food cart was parked there alone, so she talked to herself in bed.

However, this situation did not last long.

Because~~~

"Wow, it's huge!!"

A completely unfamiliar, surprised voice rang out in the room.

The massive, sobbing figure paused slightly.

"Eh?!"

She subconsciously looked up and saw two figures who had entered the room at some point.

One of the men, wearing a straw hat and a red shirt, looked at him with considerable surprise.

Then~~~

"Who are you?!"

She was immediately terrified and kept backing away from the bed, her eyes filled with fear and terror.

Her long, flowing pink curly hair trembled constantly, causing the taiyaki-shaped hair accessory on her head to sway as well.

She wore a pair of seashell-shaped earrings, and her bright blue eyes were watery, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Combined with her beautiful face and ample bust, she was simply an absolute beauty!

"Who are you? Where did you come from? How did you get in here?!"

........ .. .......

She was clearly terrified, her voice trembling with tears, but because of her overly kind nature, she still used polite language even towards Luffy and Link, two people of unknown origin.

"Are you... are you one of Vander Deacon's men, here to take my life?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a huge black and white shark wearing a red prisoner-themed T-shirt, also designed by Papagu, appeared from the side.

"Kaka~!"

Its massive body blocked the path of the frightened man, its mouth open, revealing its fangs to Luffy and Link.

Their small eyes were also filled with vigilance and wariness as they stared at them.

It kept baring its teeth, snarling and baring its teeth at Luffy and Link, trying to keep them away.

"Vanda Deacon? Who's that?"

Luffy tilted his head. "We're not anyone's subordinates, and we don't want your life."

"Huh? Really?!"

Upon hearing Luffy say that, the figure behind the shark immediately and naively believed him.

"So who exactly are you...?"

Her timid voice gradually subsided, and she asked with some curiosity.

"Us? My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm going to be the Pirate King!!"

When asked about his identity, Luffy immediately launched into his standard self-introduction.

"His name is Link, he's my crewmate and the vice-captain of my pirate crew, and he's a really amazing prop master!!"

"One Piece, prop master..."

Although he didn't quite understand what this meant, the man still dutifully introduced himself:

"I, my name is Shirahoshi, and this is my good friend, Mecaro."

Bai Xing pointed to the black and white shark in front of her.

"White Star……"

Link smiled and looked at her. "If I'm not mistaken, you must be the mermaid princess of this Dragon Palace, right?"

"Well, if we're talking about status, I should be..."

Bai Xing replied quietly from there.

"Princess..."

Luffy tilted his head and pondered for a moment.

It seems they encountered a princess from some country somewhere before, back when they first set sail for the Grand Line.

~~~~~~~~~

[I was too busy at work today and it's a bit late, sorry! I'll update a chapter early at midnight!!]

419 New prop!! [Sightseeing Projector]! Is that the sun?!

So, on their first journey to the new world, upon arriving at Fishman Island, did they encounter another mermaid princess?

It seems these people have quite a bit of interaction with the princess...

Luffy was thinking this, and he was about to open his mouth to say something.

Suddenly.

"Whoosh!!"

A sudden gust of wind came from behind them, accompanied by a swirling whistle, its approach extremely fierce!

Bai Xing was completely caught off guard, her gaze fixed on the axe that was getting closer and closer to her, her pupils contracting instinctively.

"Is it that strange big axe again?!"

Luffy knew what it was without turning around, and he had no intention of attacking.

Because he knew that he had a very reliable companion by his side.

"Zi La~"

A dazzling bolt of lightning flashed.

The moment the giant axe pierced the hard-shelled tower, it was swiftly bound by a blue-white chain of lightning and instantly reduced to dust.

Bai Xing: "..."

She was still in a daze, staring blankly at the scene before her.

Her cherry-like... small mouth, which was quite cherry-like for her size, was slightly open, her eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.

Her adorable, bewildered expression, coupled with the slight mist that welled up in her big eyes from the sudden fright...

　"827" truly lives up to her reputation as having a stunning beauty that rivals even that of the Pirate Empress, Hancock.

It's just... a little too big.

Yes, this refers to her body, not her age.

Of course, to be fair, some of these places are quite large and really nice.

Ahem, getting back to the point, the ones who gave Shirahoshi such an evaluation were the squirrel brothers from the Rolling Pirates under Thriller Bark's command.

They said they were lucky enough to have seen Shirahoshi once, and they remembered her beauty vividly.

The Rolling Pirates, it seems, were trapped in the Devil's Triangle area by Moria two years ago.

Shirahoshi entered this hard-shell tower eight years ago, when she was six years old.

She's only fourteen years old now, and just two years ago she was only twelve...

Therefore, it can be concluded that the Squirrel Brothers truly deserve their name!

You beast!

"What exactly is that throwing axe?"

Luffy looked at the entrance with some confusion, not forgetting the various strange weapons embedded in the exterior of this hard-shelled tower.

“Those, those were all thrown over by Vander Deacon.”

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Shirahoshi finally came to her senses and responded quietly.

"Van Da Deikun?"

"Well, it's like this..."

Upon hearing Luffy's question, Shirahoshi quickly recounted some of her past experiences with Vander Decken.

However~~~

"Things like that are fine no matter what..."

Luffy was completely unconcerned about those things; he simply plopped down on the ground, his body limp and lifeless.

"I am hungry……"

You descended into the deep sea, just ate a pirate bento, and stored up enough energy through the Life Return...
