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

"So, Lord Momonosuke, is he destined to be trapped inside that golden castle?!"

Kin'emon was there grieving, and then~

"What did you say? The Golden City?!"

Nami keenly grasped the relevant elements.

"What kind of place is that?!"

When he was introducing the situation earlier, Kin'emon only mentioned that his young master, Momonosuke, was imprisoned, without going into details about where he was.

~~~~~~~~~

[This is the second update today. I'm still out and about, and I'll probably get home around evening to update again. There will definitely be no reduction in updates today!!]

450. Tools to torment Momonosuke?! The journey continues!! Gladiator [Lucy] and scientist [Ling Ke]~

"It's a place called [Gran Tesoro], a place overflowing with gold!!"

Kin'emon replied with a sigh.

"Gold is everywhere..."

Nami's eyes gradually brightened, radiating a golden luster.

"Gulán Tezolo is the world's largest entertainment city, an independent country recognized by the government and a demilitarized zone."

Robin had heard of this place before.

That place is known as an "Absolute Sanctuary" that the World Government cannot easily interfere with. It is said to possess power comparable to that of the Celestial Dragons, and is the Pure Gold Empire ruled by Gild Tesoro, a monster of the New World.

"The Golden Empire..."

Nami didn't hear anything else clearly, but she heard those four words very clearly, and her eyes lit up.

"Alright, our next stop is the Golden City!!!"

Nami decisively made her decision.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm the captain of this ship!!"

Luffy, unable to grasp the situation, was jumping up and down in dissatisfaction.

"The next course should be decided by me, as the captain!!"

"Then, dear Captain Luffy..."

Nami smiled broadly as she twirled her fingers.

"Your dearest navigator wishes to see the splendor of the Golden City. I wonder if you could grant this small wish of yours as a partner?"

As she spoke, she cracked her knuckles.

Luffy:"……"

Anyway~~~

He swallowed hard, maintaining his last shred of dignity and stubbornness as captain even when seemingly threatened by the ship's tyrant.

"I've considered it, but the final decision rests with me..."

"Two big pieces of meat!!"

Nami stated her terms without hesitation, "And I can share some of my treasured oranges with you!!"

Luffy: "...Alright, let's head straight to Gold City then!!!"

Luffy, whose eyes had turned into orange shapes, immediately made his decision.

Everyone: "..."

Were you really bought off by a few oranges?

So your decision-making power is so cheap?!

As expected of our captain... or rather, as expected of Nami!

The group looked at Nami, who had achieved her goal and was throwing two punches into the sky, with great emotion.

Yes, he really is the ship's tyrant.

This tactic involves first using force to coerce, and then using food as bait.

The plot is intricately linked, they have Luffy completely under their control!!

But is Golden City also the world's largest entertainment city?

It's worth going to check it out.

The others had no objections to the journey ahead; they figured it was a good opportunity to broaden their horizons.

Let's see how things are done in this new world.

"Are you really planning to go to that golden city?!"

Kin'emon, who had been anxious, blushed with excitement upon hearing everyone's decision.

"Thank you so much!!"

He trembled with excitement as he exclaimed, "So you really are the ones Lady foretold, the ones who interfere with time!!"

"This is wonderful! Lord Momonosuke is finally saved!!!"

Kin'emon let out a long sigh of relief, as if the heavy burden on his heart had been lifted, and he collapsed to the ground like a limp rag doll.

"Don't get too excited yet."

Link glanced at him and said indifferently, "We only said we were going to the Golden City to broaden our horizons. When did we say we were going to rescue your so-called Prince Momonosuke?!"

"Uh huh huh?!!"

Kin'emon, who was panting heavily to relax, almost couldn't catch his breath.

"Cough cough!!"

He coughed violently a few times, "Why..."

Kin'emon stared wide-eyed at him, "You're not..."

"Not what?"

Link said calmly, "You say we are your so-called saviors, does that mean we have to get involved in your affairs?"

“Our captain has already made it very clear that we are pirates, lawless pirates, and we are not the same kind of people as you so-called samurai.”

"As for your so-called Prince Momonosuke, we have absolutely no interest in him."

Link's words were very direct, you could even say they were directed straight at Kin'emon.

"All we can do is take you to that golden city. What happens after that is up to you."

Kin'emon's face alternated between pale and flushed: "I am..."

"Don't use 'I' or 'I'm not' here~"

Link waved his hand and resumed his verbal barrage mode.

"Just this one sentence, don't give us any more ideas."

"If you still have any objections, you can go wherever you want to stay cool~~~"

Link retorted bluntly, "Our ship doesn't want to host guys with so many inexplicable problems."

The impatience and slight disdain in his words were quite obvious.

Yes, it's mainly aimed at Momonosuke.

Link had absolutely no liking for that guy.

If we reach the Golden City and actually encounter that little brat...

Link glanced at some of the items in the four-dimensional treasure bag.

"There are some really useful props though!!"

Although there weren't as many props as those used to prank or persecute Spandam, considering Momonosuke's unique identity, situation, and his dirty nature...

And let me tell you, these props were even more torturous than those torture props, inflicting even more psychological damage on him!

"Link... he seems to really dislike these samurai?"

Beside them, Usopp blinked slightly, then whispered to Robin and Brook, asking a question.

"As for the samurai, they should be a bit better; it's just that their attitude is so-so..."

Robin fell into thought there, "But when that person named Momonosuke is mentioned, Link's attitude becomes noticeably different."

"Yo ho ho ho ho, don't forget the killing intent that First Mate Link exuded earlier..."

Brook chuckled softly, "I've never seen First Mate Link so hostile towards any particular guy before..."

He was deeply moved as he stood there.

Brook, who has connections to the underworld, is exceptionally sensitive to killing intent.

Especially Link, who has hardly ever lifted a finger or killed anyone, yet he possesses such murderous intent...

That really left a deep impression on Brooke!

"I bet that guy named Momonosuke isn't a good person, is he?"

Sanji rubbed his chin, his guess hitting the nail on the head.

"You've heard from this samurai named Kin'emon that they went to the Golden Castle. What kind of people would go to the Golden Castle?"

He also had a lukewarm attitude towards these samurai, saying, "They clearly bear the burden of national and personal vendettas, yet they still go to places like that."

"No matter what the reason may be, it should not be done this way."

Upon hearing this, the others thought about it briefly and agreed that it made a lot of sense.

Unconsciously, the gaze directed at Kin'emon became even more indifferent.

They're all the same kind of people anyway. Just like Link said, it's already quite good that he was able to take him and get him to the Golden City.

Later on, they helped them rescue Momonosuke and save Wano Country, etc...

Dream on!

They're pirates, not saints!!

Even if they're going to Wano Country, it's for Kaido of the Beasts, and has absolutely nothing to do with these so-called samurai or saving the country!

"Is this so..."

Even Link had gone this far, so Kin'emon had no choice but to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He could sense the attitude in Link's words, and he also knew that if he said anything more, they would really leave him aside.

Having finally found these people mentioned in the prophecy, Kin'emon didn't want to miss out on connecting with them.

And~~~

My own seafaring skills are practically zero!!

Once abandoned, finding Guran Tesoro again would be extremely difficult.

Moreover, the other party was his savior, so he shouldn't ask for too much in the first place.

"I am already extremely grateful to be brought back to that golden city!!"

Kin'emon wisely expressed his gratitude without pushing his luck.

"I am already deeply grateful for your help in saving me, and you have even gone so far as to send me back to the Golden Castle to rescue Lord Momonosuke..."

Kin'emon, the top leader, gripped the two precious swords at his waist.

　847 "I have nothing to repay you with but my swordsmanship, which you may use!"

"The swordsmanship of Wano Country?"

Zoro looked at him with great interest.

"I'm actually quite interested!!"

As he spoke, he placed his hand on the hilt of his knife.

He then decided to learn more about the swordsmanship of Wano Country from Kin'emon.
