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

"You must be one of the supernovas, the [Surgeon of Death]?"

The proprietress, Mrs. Xia Li, with her purple nail polish, took a few puffs of her pipe through her deep red lips and smiled as she spoke.

She wore a dark purple hooded top, with only the middle button fastened, resembling the attire of a dancer from the Western Regions, revealing her high breasts and lower abdomen.

It appears mysterious and elegant, with its crescent-shaped tail fin swaying back and forth.

"So what?"

Law, a straight-laced man no less than Luffy, who is devoted to medicine and superheroes, merely gave Lady Shirley a slight twitch of his eyelids.

“I recognized you the moment you walked into this café. This is the first time I’ve had a pirate with a bounty of over 500 million Berries in my shop.”

Shirley chuckled as she exhaled a smoke ring, "Especially after experiencing the Marineford War with the Straw Hat Pirates, it makes one even more curious."

"Therefore, I performed a simple divination for you."

Mrs. Shirley spoke slowly.

"Fortune telling~"

Luo's expression remained largely unchanged.

He had previously met a charlatan who was very good at divination when he was in the Sabaody Archipelago.

"I received a very interesting prophecy."

Seeing Luo's noncommittal expression, Mrs. Shirley smiled and continued casually:

"I saw you, with the Straw Hat Pirates and the other Supernovas..."

"Even if so-called prophecies are true, I don't want to know about them."

Before Mrs. Shirley could finish speaking, Luo interrupted her.

"The future is unknown."

Luo raised his head, a rare smile appearing on his face:

"What will happen at that time, we will have to witness for ourselves."

"Even if I were to die tomorrow, I would rather live it myself than hear about my so-called ending from other people."

"Is that so?"

Mrs. Shirley's smile deepened even more.

"Indeed, with your [prop master] first mate's many amazing props, there are truly endless possibilities..."

At this point, a hint of amazement flashed in Mrs. Shirley's eyes.

"I have never seen such a prop before."

"That artifact was powerful enough to change the world, affecting the entire ocean!!!"

.........

Meanwhile, at the entrance to the Dragon Palace.

The three figures slipped out of the palace furtively... well, not really furtively, but very carefully.

"Lord Link, are we really alright doing this?!"

Bai Xing was quite uneasy and nervous, looking at Link's back as he walked away.

"We sneaked out during the banquet..."

Just moments before, King Neptune had hosted a welcoming banquet for the Straw Hat Pirates in that extremely spacious and grand banquet hall...

He specially invited the best performers and musicians from the Dragon Palace to perform on the shell-shaped central stage.

The dazzling, multicolored ambient lighting illuminated every corner of the hall.

The exquisite dishes, delicacies, wines, and desserts were served in large quantities.

Luffy, Zoro, and the others thoroughly enjoyed the food and drink.

Thus, with each toast and the beautiful light shining on one's eyes, one gradually becomes intoxicated by it all.

Whether it's the intoxication or the dazzling, mesmerizing atmosphere, everything about that environment is intoxicating.

Taking advantage of this moment, Link considerately led the obviously uncomfortable Shirahoshi out from inside first.

"It's nothing. Luffy and Zoro are there with your father and brother, eating and drinking, and Usopp is there bragging and keeping the atmosphere lively. They're doing just fine, so don't pay them any mind."

Link knew that with his group of friends around, there was no chance of the atmosphere becoming awkward or dull.

"Didn't you just happen to want to go to the Sea Forest?"

Link laughed and said, "I'll take you out for a while. After we're there and we've dealt with Vanda Deacon's problem, we'll come back."

"Just in time for the end of the banquet... don't you think, Robin?"

Link turned around and looked at Robin, who was following behind him and Shirahoshi.

"Hmm~"

Robin smiled and nodded. "With Luffy and Zoro here, we need to make sure the food and drinks are plentiful. This banquet won't be over so quickly."

"It will take at least one night, or even longer."

"I timed my trip perfectly, as I also wanted to visit the Sea Forest and study the historical artifacts displayed there."

Previously, Robin also found historical records inside the Dragon Palace.

But all the historical records on Fishman Island mention one place.

That is the forest of the sea.

Therefore, when Link and Shirahoshi came out and planned to head to the Sea Forest, Robin happened to go with them.

The three then formed a temporary small team.

"Therefore, there is absolutely no need to worry about this aspect of version 1.6."

As Link spoke, he took out the [Bamboo Dragonfly].

"We'll just come back before it's over."

"But……"

"There's no 'but' about it~"

After Link put the headband on Shirahoshi, he also gave one to Robin.

As for himself, he has absolutely no need for it.

"Let's go, let's set off!!"

He clapped his hands at Link's signal.

Shirahoshi carefully pressed the button for the [Bamboo Dragonfly].

Suddenly, she was lifted into the sky.

"It actually... flew up?!"

Bai Xing stared with bright eyes at the ground below, which was getting smaller and smaller.

Seeing the natural environment and atmosphere before had already fulfilled one of Shirahoshi's wishes.

And now, being able to fly high in the sky undoubtedly brings Bai Xing even more wonderful experiences!

"Being by Lord Link's side has given me experiences I've never had before!!"

With this thought in mind, Shirahoshi raised her head and looked at Link's back, which was levitating electromagnetically in front of her, her eyes shining brighter and brighter.

These were all experiences she had never had before!

425 E.S. the Deadly Poison! Cleaning up the trash, Link shook his head. A bunch of useless trash, even worse than that scum, Aaron.

The three of them flew towards the direction of the Sea Forest.

And the other side.

Near Fishman Island, in a dark sea area.

"Shirahoshi, my dearest wife, my sweetheart, my darling, my sweetheart..."

Beside a huge ship, the wailing and howling of ghosts and gods rang out.

Why won't you accept my intense love for you?!

Wearing a small top hat, with spiky hair and a beard, and adorned with multiple necklaces, this wide-striped tiger shark-man with four peculiar legs, but who looked more like a human, muttered to himself.

"How could you be so heartless as to reject me? You won't give me any response, whether it's my love letters or my weapons!!"

Vander Decken IX was waving his hands wildly and erratically.

When he got impatient, he grabbed a huge axe with his red-gloved hand and threw it forward.

Instantly, the axe seemed to activate its automatic positioning, spinning rapidly toward the target it had found.

Vander Decken, the user of the Target-Target Fruit.

Once an opponent is targeted by the user's touch, any object thrown by the user will automatically track them to the ends of the earth, unless it is shot down or blocked by an obstacle along the way.

Vanda Deacon has two hands. One hand is used to locate White Star, so he wears gloves to prevent accidentally touching someone and obscuring White Star's location.

Therefore, this guy's hands have never been washed since he touched Shirahoshi eight years ago.

Their purpose was to covet Shirahoshi's Sea Emperor ability, which allowed her to summon Sea Kings.

"I must marry her at age 25, fulfilling the wish of my ancestors, and obtain that power..."

Vanda Deacon was muttering to himself.

Suddenly, his subordinates rushed over in a panic.

"Captain Van Da, those fishmen from Fishman Street are causing trouble again!!!"

Just as his subordinate finished reporting, several figures walked up behind him.

"Hody Jones from Fishman Street?!"

Vanda Deacon instantly snapped out of his erratic state, squinting his already small eyes as he watched the group of people approaching.

These guys are no good. Vanda Deacon had met them before and knew they were a bunch of cynical lunatics.

We have different goals, so there's really nothing to talk about with him.

However, these guys didn't think that way. After meeting him, they came to see him again and again.

They use the guise of cooperation to make claims about forming a new Fishman Pirate Crew, establishing a new country, and so on.

Vanda Deacon had absolutely no interest in this and had no desire to associate with such a group of people.

However, these guys were like dung beetles that had spotted a dung heap, constantly haunting him.

Just like now, they came knocking on our door.

"Jia, hahaha, why won't you even see us?!"

A group of people strode in, led by a laughing great white shark-man.

He wore a flat cap with a trident pattern, a wolfskin scarf around his neck, and had extensive tattoos of Ah Long and his gang on his body.

A mouthful of sharp fangs opened, emitting a laugh that shook the sea.

"Because I'm different from you bunch of lunatics who want to destroy humanity!!"

Vander Deacon also showed no kindness and immediately refused.

"Your goals are too lofty for me to bear."

He said sarcastically there.

You can't say that!

Hody Jones was the first to approach Vander Deacon, saying, "As long as there are common interests, we can also form an alliance under certain circumstances."

He grinned and said.

But a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes as he looked at Vanda Deacon.

Despite being a fish-man, he can't swim at all, and he's covered in a protective coating.

That's a disgrace to the merfolk!
