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

Link glanced at his own captain, a complete idiot who didn't care about his image at all in order to freeload.

"If you're hungry, Luffy-sama, I do have some food here."

Shirahoshi was truly kind; she quickly took all the food out of her food cart.

Clear oyster broth, vegetarian seaweed pasta, several seafood wheat breads, and a steaming cup of black tea.

This was Shirahoshi's simple meal.

However, to match her enormous size, the amount and appearance of the food were also quite large.

"Really?!"

Upon seeing these specialty foods from Fishman Island, Luffy's eyes immediately lit up and he sat up.

"Then I won't be polite!!!"

After saying that, he immediately pounced on the bread and began to devour it.

He devoured a piece of bread in just a few bites, stuffing his cheeks so full he looked just like a hamster.

Seeing Luffy's small stature yet enormous appetite, having already consumed several times his own size, while still relentlessly gulping down food, was quite astonishing.

That appearance completely dispelled Bai Xing's fear.

"Um, Lord Luffy, and Lord Link, are you from outside?"

Bai Xing, who hadn't spoken to outsiders for nearly eight years, also bent down her massive body.

With his upper body supporting the deck, he rested his cheeks on his hands, looking at Luffy and Link with great curiosity.

Aside from her only companion, her pet shark Mecarlo, and her confidante, Shirahoshi hasn't had a proper conversation with anyone else in a long time.

"Yes, we are pirates, from outside."

Luffy, whose face was already stuffed with food, continued eating while Link answered Shirahoshi's questions.

"Also, you don't have to call us adults, you can just call us by our names."

"Yes, I understand, Lord Link!"

"~~~Fine, whatever."

"Lord Link, you said you're pirates..."

Bai Xing then asked, "So, are you bad people?"

"Well, it's up to you to decide."

Link smiled and said.

They were simply taking their own risks, and it didn't matter what others thought or thought of them.

"is it?"

Bai Xing blinked upon hearing this.

However, when she saw Luffy, who had almost finished a plate of bread, and Link, who was standing there leisurely, she couldn't help but laugh and say:

"As expected, I'm sure you guys don't seem like bad people."

As she spoke, a hint of longing appeared in her eyes.

"Lord Link, as pirates, do you have to go on a lot of adventures?"

"Hmm~"

"Then, then, Lord Link, have you ever seen the sun?"

Bai Xing asked curiously, while the huge fish tail, with its varying shades of pink, swayed back and forth behind her.

"Will the stars rise into the sky at night?"

"And all sorts of flowers, and animals covered in fur?"

Have you been to that place called the "forest," a place full of greenery?

She had so many questions, and after finally meeting someone who had seen the outside world, she asked them all at once.

Her two blue eyes were also sparkling, full of longing for the outside world.

Not only is there Fishman Island outside the hard-shell tower, but also the land islands above the sea outside Fishman Island.

Sunshine, forest, flowers, moon, stars...

These are all environments that Shirahoshi greatly yearns for and desires.

You're asking a lot of questions.

Link smiled and shook his head. "Besides, the things you asked about are all very common outside."

"You might see Lord Link quite often, but~"

Bai Xing said with a slight hint of disappointment, "But I've never seen it before..."

"So~"

Link snapped his fingers.

"Then why don't you just use your own eyes to take a good look?"

"But, but I have no way to go to the world outside Fishman Island..."

Whenever this was mentioned, Bai Xing felt very aggrieved, and her voice started to tremble with tears again...

"Leaving aside the world outside Fishman Island, I can't even leave Fishman Island now; I'm stuck inside this hard-shell tower of Ryugu Castle..."

As Bai Xing spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Actually, you don't need to go outside to see the same scenery as outside."

Seeing this, Link slowly took out a new item before Shirahoshi could cry.

It was a pink platform machine.

There are two screens on it, one vertical screen and one square screen with cross points.

It has many adjustment knobs and buttons.

"What is this?"

Shirahoshi, who was about to burst into tears, was immediately distracted when she saw a new object appear out of nowhere in Link's hand.

"Oh? Another one of your new gadgets, Link?!"

Luffy, who had just finished slurping up a big mouthful of seaweed, immediately came over, holding a large piece of oyster meat in his hand, and looked at Link with great interest.

"By the way, it's been a long time since you've brought out a new gadget, Link!!"

He was talking while stuffing meat into his mouth.

"This is……"

Shirahoshi looked at the prop that Link had placed on the ground with some curiosity.

"Lord Link's tool?!"

"Hmm~"

Link nodded and pressed the power button.

"This is called a 'sightseeing projector'."

As he spoke, he lightly pressed the buttons twice, and then...

The environment inside the hard-shell tower changed instantly.

"this is……"

Bai Xing stared blankly at the suddenly changed environment around her.

All around her was a vibrant sea of ​​flowers, a tapestry of red and green.

Pink, yellow, red, green... flowers of all colors are vying for attention.

This is the garden that Bai Xingxin has been longing for.

"So beautiful..."

Bai Xing murmured as she stared at the scene before her, feeling as if her soul had been struck by something unprecedented.

Not only the scene in front of you, but even the brightness received by your pupils has changed.

She subconsciously looked up and saw...

"that is……"

Bai Xing stared blankly at the round object emitting light hanging in the sky.

　1.6 “That is the sun.”

Link's gentle voice rang in her ears, "Looking at the sun for too long is very bad for your eyes."

"Ah, yes!!"

Bai Xing hurriedly lowered her head and averted her gaze.

but……

"Is that the sun?!"

Hearing that it was the legendary sunlight that only existed in the outside world, something he had never seen before, and even his own elder brother had basically never seen...

Bai Xing couldn't help but look up.

"Click click!!!"

The shark Mecaro beside her also stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.

"Where am I?!"

Luffy, who was eating meat nearby, was also taken aback.

"Did we leave Fishman Island?!"

He sprang up from the ground with a somersault.

I wanted to pick up those flowers on the ground, but...

"what?!"

Luffy discovered that his hand passed straight through the flowers!

"How is this going?!!"

Luffy, whose intelligence is usually focused on eating, is once again experiencing a daily drop in his IQ.

"These are all projected illusions."

Link explained there.

Props: [Sightseeing Projector].

Description: Simply insert the relevant map to project the corresponding scenery.

In other words, these seas of flowers and the sun are merely landscape features on a certain island, temporarily projected onto this location.

Beneath the surface of these landscapes lies the hard shell of the White Star Tower.

"Sunshine...a sea of ​​flowers..."

Bai Xing murmured softly. Seeing these things for the first time, she felt that they were the most beautiful sight she had ever seen in the past ten years.

Click.

Link adjusted the button again.

Soon, in the next second, a new scene appeared before them once again.

All that could be seen before me was a landscape of green mountains and clear waters.

The lush forest swaying gently in the wind, and the shimmering lake beside it, its surface rippling with light...
