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

"You guys are just too strong..."

Jinbe's strength is also extremely reliable, as evidenced by his ability to fight Ace for five days and five nights on land without a clear winner.

He definitely possesses the strength of a Yonko (Four Emperors) pirate captain.

When he reaches the open sea, his home turf, he can unleash his extraordinary strength even more.

Jinbe originally thought his strength was pretty good among the Straw Hat Pirates.

But now it seems...

I'm feeling a little pressured.

With this in mind, Jinbe couldn't help but put away the gift that Vice-Captain Link had given him, which he called a welcoming gift.

It is a golden test tube of medicine that is said to improve a person's health and greatly enhance their qualities and talents after drinking it.

With this kind of cultivation, progress is incredibly rapid.

The Straw Hat Pirates have already tested this medicine, and it works not only on humans but also on reindeer and manatees.

So naturally, if he, being a fish-man, were to take it, the effect would be absolutely no problem.

Zoro and his crew used this potion to enhance their talents, and through rigorous training, they reached where they are today.

"Improve your physical talents..."

Jinbe stood there thoughtfully, thinking, "Looks like I need to find a suitable opportunity to give it a good try..."

"Woooooooo..."

Just as Jinbe was pondering, a sobbing sound suddenly came from ahead.

"Ah, it's that samurai!"

Luffy looked closely and realized that it was none other than the samurai named Kin'emon whom he had abandoned at the entrance to the Golden Castle!

How did he get here?

The group was puzzled. The other party had clearly been in the Golden City, but suddenly appeared here. This leap was truly unbelievable.

However, this is not the point.

"How could you have suffered such serious injuries?!"

Chopper, being a doctor, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon seeing this.

Kin'emon has truly suffered many misfortunes and his life has been quite tragic.

First, he was burned in the battle with CP0, then he was shot by Jack, and then he fell into the water and was pulled out and severely tortured.

And beside him, Momonosuke, who had been unconscious almost since he was brought out of the Golden Castle, was also covered in bruises and swelling.

Aside from Kanjuro, who appears to be seriously injured, as an inside agent, he only suffers superficial wounds.

Moreover, it wasn't just Kin'emon and his group; the Mink tribe members bound to the crosses in front of them were also already on the verge of death.

"Put them down right now!!"

At Chopper's urging, the Straw Hat Pirates, the Heart Pirates, and others all took action.

Chopper and a few others rushed to treat Kin'emon and the others' injuries.

And those fur-bearing inhabitants...

"ROOM!!"

Luo Shizhan created the surgical space and then immediately replaced all the residents on the cross with pebbles.

Pat pat!

One by one, bodies ravaged by the poison gas lay on the ground, limp and lifeless.

"Remove!!"

Luo's fingers were constantly turning there.

As a doctor himself, he knew perfectly well what the culprit was that caused such a tragic situation for this group of fur people.

Immediately, he activated his surgical ability, peeling the toxins from the blood of these people one by one.

"Alright, now all the toxins have been cleared away, but..."

Luo looked at the group of fur tribesmen who were still weak and exhausted, with no strength left in their bodies.

"As for replenishing physical strength and energy, it depends on your own condition."

He shook his head.

"Leave the rest to me~"

Link smiled and then took out a sticker with a picture of a healthy, slim, and upright green frog standing tall.

Or rather, it's a plaster.

"Just use this [fatigue relief plaster]."

As Link spoke, he placed the plaster on the cat viper shopkeeper, who was struggling to get up.

"The power of a Devil Fruit..."

The cat viper shopkeeper, who had once sailed the seas with Whitebeard and Roger and was quite knowledgeable, was not surprised to be suddenly transported to the ground.

Just as he was about to struggle to his feet and say something...

870

"Meow?!"

The cat viper shopkeeper was startled to find something stuck to his body.

If he hadn't known that the others had saved his life and were his benefactors, he would have already grabbed the trident.

"What is this?"

The moment the thought crossed the mind of the Cat Viper Shopkeeper, he suddenly felt a change in his body.

In an instant, to the astonishment of the Cat Viper shopkeeper, streaks of red light flashed across his body, all converging on the frog pattern on the plaster sticker.

As the red glow faded, the frog's healthy, spirited smile turned into a sickly, flushed appearance.

"My body... feels lighter~ Meow?!!"

The Cat Viper Shopkeeper's eyes widened slightly.

He clearly felt all the fatigue in his body vanish completely!

His energy and spirit have returned to the level they were in before facing Jack!

"What on earth is this..."

Even though he was still in a daze, he guessed that his change must be related to the sticker on his body.

"Looks like it's working quite well~"

Under the bewildered gaze of the cat viper shopkeeper, Link smiled and took down the [Fatigue Relief Plaster].

Item: [Fatigue Relief Plaster].

Description: It comes in the form of a plaster sticker with a frog pattern printed on it. When applied to a person, it absorbs their fatigue, which is then reflected in the frog pattern. The more fatigue absorbed, the more depressed and listless the frog becomes.

Once fatigue absorption reaches a certain limit, exceeding it will trigger an explosion.

In addition to absorbing fatigue, this medicated plaster can also be applied to other people to release the fatigue they have previously absorbed.

Strictly speaking, this tool is similar to Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability, which can deflect fatigue and pain.

And it can also transfer this fatigue and pain into the bodies of other people.

However, it is far less convenient than the ability of the bear.

However, it's quite suitable for this context.

471 Familiarity grows! Deepening their bond!! The two bosses have a very pleasant conversation! Momonosuke, oblivious to the shock!

"how do you feel?"

Link casually handed the [Fatigue Relief Plaster] to Pekin and Shaki, asking them to help the Mink Tribe regain their vitality, while he smiled and looked at the Cat Viper shopkeeper who was slowly getting up in front of him.

"Unbelievable, they've completely recovered..."

Cat Viper looked at his hands and feet, which were now intact and had not been severed by Jack, and couldn't find any fault with them.

Of course, he still had the injuries he sustained from being tortured by Jack.

However, after their energy and spirit were restored and their physical condition returned to its peak, these injuries were nothing to the Mink Tribe's powerful physique.

Within just a few breaths, these injuries showed signs of healing.

"Is this also a Devil Fruit ability?!"

Duke Inuarashi, who had also regained his energy after the plaster had taken effect, stood up and asked in amazement.

"No, this is Link's gadget, isn't it awesome?"

Seeing that these two big shots had recovered, Luffy grinned and boasted.

"Props..."

Neither of them had ever heard of such a thing existing in the ocean before.

"Looks like we've been here for eighteen years and we've completely lost touch with everything, meow!!"

The Cat Viper Shopkeeper spoke with a mixture of emotion and regret.

"They've been stuck on this island for eighteen years, without taking any useful action..."

Inuarashi sighed, his voice tinged with a sense of melancholy and loneliness.

Since their lord, Kozuki Oden, died by boiling in a pot eighteen years ago, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi have been arguing all the way back to Zou Island.

They never stepped out of here again.

Moreover, their relationship deteriorated to an extreme degree after a major argument, to the point that they would never speak to each other again.

Even the rule over Zou Island was divided into two periods: day and night.

"By the way, I haven't yet asked everyone's names..."

After a moment of reflection, Duke Inuarashi realized that he still had important matters to attend to, and quickly bowed to Luffy and Linksch and asked.

Bah, bah, bah.

Even the usually unruly Cat Viper shopkeeper scratched his head with his cat paw, took out his well-worn pipe from his pocket, and started puffing away.

They pricked up their ears, making a gesture of listening attentively.

"Us? My name is Luffy, Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King."

Luffy once again uttered his signature line.

"He is Link, a [Props Master], who possesses many powerful props!!"

Link was also introduced along with them.

"One Piece, prop master..."

Duke Inuarashi and Nekomamushi couldn't help but take another look at Luffy and his crew.

"Oh, you're a pirate, meow~"

A smile appeared on Nekomamushi's face as well. "Speaking of which, many years ago, I was also a pirate."

He smacked his lips, revealing a nostalgic and blissful expression, "Those were truly memorable days!

Not only him, but even Duke Inuarashi, who was standing next to him, slowly stuck out his tongue.

If his clothes hadn't covered his tail, it would probably be spinning around there right now.

"Indeed~"

Link also nodded and smiled in agreement:

“I’ve also heard Mr. Rayleigh and the white-bearded uncle mention your affairs.”

"Um?!!"

Upon hearing this, both Duke Inuarashi and Nekomamushi's eyes lit up instantly.
