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

Page 481

Link looked completely innocent and said, "I was just trying to prevent that guy from escaping."

"That being said..."

Zoro stroked his chin.

"But you clearly had a chance to make your move earlier."

Sanji also lit a cigarette for himself.

"And you should have realized that the other party wanted to use Momonosuke as a hostage, right?"

Nami also crossed her arms over her chest.

"It could have been stopped much earlier."

Robin smoothed her bangs and chuckled.

"But they let him go..."

Little Chopper was also somewhat puzzled.

"Hehehehe, this must have been intentional, right?"

Bruker played his electronic keyboard for a bit.

"Ah, are you planning to take down that brat and the traitor together?"

Franky clasped his hands together to form a star shape.

"That's probably how it is..."

Jinbe pondered for a moment before offering his assessment.

"Because you dislike that child?"

Luffy tilted his head there, "I don't know why, but when I saw that brat, I felt like he wasn't a good person."

"I share the same sentiment as the Straw Hat Master on this point."

Luo, who was standing next to him, also nodded in agreement, joining in the fun.

He really didn't like that brat named Momonosuke.

Both captains expressed their dislike for the brat named Momonosuke.

"Okay, although I don't understand what you're thinking..."

The other crew members glanced at Luffy and Link:

"The fact that Link hated him so much that he sent lightning to strike that little guy shows he's definitely not a good person~~~"

Well, between an unfamiliar child and the reliable first mate Link, everyone knows which to choose.

On the other side, where Kanjuro and Momonosuke landed.

"Lord Momonosuke, are you alright?! Lord Momonosuke!!"

Kin'emon held Momonosuke, whose eyes were rolling back and whose mouth was wide open, spewing out black smoke, and shook him anxiously.

As for Kanjuro, who was standing nearby, he was knocked to the ground by Nekomamushi and Inuarashi.

Well, the traitors and spies hidden among the Nine Red Scabbards have been completely eliminated.

The price they paid was that their young master, Prince Momonosuke, had suffered further injuries.

Well, if you calculate it that way, he might become even more withdrawn and it would be even harder for him to break free of his shell.

~~~~~~~~~

After Kin'emon and the others brought Momonosuke back, although he was unpleasant to be around, at least he was a patient.

Chopper also treated him.

Aside from the added burns from the lightning, it's the same old problem, nothing serious.

Subsequently, led by Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, and their respective subordinates, the Three Musketeers and the Knights of Fame, solemnly thanked Luffy and Link.

In this regard, along the way, from Alabasta to Skypiea, to the Whitebeard Pirates, and then to Fishman Island~

Luffy, who had become somewhat numb from being thanked so much, simply let them do as they pleased and didn't intend to pay any more attention to them.

However, their final words after expressing their gratitude piqued Luffy's interest.

"You mean you're planning to take us to see the historical inscription on that road sign, right?"

Luffy was clearly intrigued.

He didn't care about gratitude or repaying kindness.

However, when it comes to becoming the Pirate King, he won't hold back.

"Well, besides the Road Poneglyphs, we also intend to take you to meet Kin'emon and our companions..."

The leader of the cat viper slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

"That ninja from Wano Country, Raizo."

Ninja?!

Everyone was visibly taken aback.

"If you say so..."

Usopp's eyes widened. "This country really has ninjas and samurai?!"

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi nodded slowly.

"It's true, the entire country was sacrificed for one person..."

"To betray our comrades is something we would rather die than do!!!"

Before Nekomamushi and Inuarashi could utter a sound, the Mink Tribe combat team members behind them roared to the sky.

Once someone is valued and approved by them, no one can take that person away from them!

"Ugh, you bunch of guys..."

Upon hearing this announcement, Frankie immediately burst into tears.

Even Zoro and Sanji slowly smiled.

How could someone so loyal and devoted not be lovable?

"Ninjas? I really want to see them properly!!"

Even Luffy was smiling, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Ninjas..."

Link was also there, sighing slightly, as if he had remembered something.

"Link, you're looking forward to it too, aren't you?"

Luffy excitedly moved closer to Link and wrapped his arm around his neck.

"It's okay~"

Thinking of Raizo's spider-like, round face, Link wasn't particularly interested in these ninjas from Wano Country.

"What, has the head of the [Props Master] ever seen a ninja?"

Seeing Link's lack of interest, Luo asked from the side.

"In terms of experience, we're about the same..."

Link thought for a moment and gave a vague answer.

"Huh?! Link, have you ever seen a ninja?!"

Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper, the Straw Hat trio, immediately turned their attention over.

Even Franky and Zoro turned their attention here.

Luffy mimed throwing something: "If they were ninjas, would they be able to throw shuriken with great skill?!"

Chopper pounced on him, his eyes sparkling: "Then we can meditate under the waterfall?!"

Usopp also made a hand seal: "Can't you say 'Ninja' while unleashing a ninjutsu?!"

Luo also expressed a slight longing: "I also want to see the clone technique."

Zoro, with a hint of interest, asked, "So you also train hidden in the ceiling and get stabbed by spears, right?"

"Or perhaps fly into the sky wrapped in a cloth?!"

The group looked at Link with great curiosity and asked him questions.

"that……"

Kin'emon and Nekomamushi, who were familiar with Raizo and his ninjutsu, opened their mouths as if to say something.

And then I heard...

"In my hometown, ninjas are defined as a group of mysterious and powerful individuals who use various ninjutsu by extracting chakra."

"Each of them possesses immense power, and they are ranked according to their strength..."

"There are various types of ninjas in the world, such as the Sound Ninja and the Sand Ninja, who form all kinds of ninja villages."

"After becoming a formal member of a ninja village, a ninja will start as a genin and be promoted based on their training and mission completion."

"Ninjas are generally divided into Genin, Chunin, Jonin, Special Jonin, and Kage-level, with Kage-level ninjas representing the highest level among ninjas."

"All ninjas strive their entire lives to become Kage-level ninjas; it is their lifelong dream."

"In addition, although there are rankings, lower-ranked ninjas are not necessarily weaker than higher-ranked ninjas, but different ranks can basically represent the general level of strength."

"In addition to ranks, ninjas can also be classified according to their duties or the jobs they do."

"Besides that, there are also Jinchuriki, who are ninjas with tailed beasts sealed within them. As for the tailed beasts, they are..."

Link was there, giving everyone a long, detailed explanation of everything about the so-called "ninja".

Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates listened intently, and even the Mink Tribe residents gathered around.

Listening intently to the legends of ninjas from the outside world, they were captivated by the wondrous things and people of the outside world.

Nekomamushi, Inuarashi, and Kin'emon were all dumbfounded.

"Chakra? Sand Ninja? Jonin? Jinchuriki???"

"These are all junk? Why have I never heard Raizo mention them before?!"

"Furthermore, I've never heard of Fireball Jutsu, Rasengan, Sharingan, Byakugan, or Eight Gates?!"

"And what about Chibaku Tensei, Shinra Tensei, Night Guy, Reverse Lotus... what are these techniques?!"

"Are ninjas really such a powerful and formidable profession?!"

The three of them thought about Raizo, with whom they had spent many years, and his performance and ninjutsu abilities, and for a moment they began to doubt the world and life itself.

If ninjas are truly as powerful as Link claims, then what is Raizo?

"Wow, ninjas are this strong!!"

After Link gave a brief overview, Luffy's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"Wow!! That sounds amazing!!"

"So this is what a ninja is like! Just like we imagined!!"

"Not only did it not disappoint us, it exceeded our expectations!!"

"It's even more powerful than we realize, wow!!"

A group of people were sighing over the matter when Luffy quickly asked with great interest:

"Link, have you ever seen what real ninjutsu looks like?!"

There was also a longing in his eyes.

"Of course I've seen it!"

Link nodded matter-of-factly, "Besides having seen it, I also know a little bit myself."
