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

Besides the above-mentioned individuals, Usopp, the "Double Gunner," and Tony Chopper, the "Tanuki," are performing a strange chopstick dance.

Franky, the cyborg, and the Three Musketeers were singing and dancing together there.

Meanwhile, Brooke, the "Nose Song" of the dog tribe, was constantly struggling to deal with the furry dogs who gathered around him, seemingly concerned for him, but whose eyes were gleaming with a greenish light.

Trafalgar Law, the "Surgeon of Death," is also exchanging medical knowledge with the Goat Doctor.

And there was that guy in the orange diving suit, a polar bear-like mink, who looked a lot like Gepo from the Knox Pirates, who was hugging Pedro and crying.

The first mate, Link, the prop master, was having a pleasant conversation with Wanda and Carrot the rabbit.

Also, isn't that Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea? He's also chatting and laughing with Nekomamushi, talking about the Whitebeard Pirates.

Nico Robin, the "Devil Child," and Nami, the "Cat Burglar," were also asking Duke Inuarashi about the island's history, customs, geography, and climate.

Of course, the most crucial figures are Duke Inuarashi, known as the "King of Daylight" of the Fluffy Principality, and Nekomamushi, the "King of Night."

These two people, who would never speak to each other again, actually appeared at the same time and place!

Both of their subordinate groups, the Musketeer Group and the Knights Group, appeared together.

Upon witnessing this rather unbelievable scene, Pokoms suddenly realized that his worries and anxieties were completely unnecessary.

This scene clearly looks like a lively banquet is taking place!

Perhaps my arrival has disturbed them?

"Huh? Isn't that Pokemus?!"

Sicilian, the captain of the Inuarashi Musketeer Team of the Furry Principality, one of the three musketeers, who was drinking with Zoro, looked at Pekoms, who had just stopped shouting and then fell into silence and confusion, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Why are you back?!"

Pokemus?!

The other fur-bearers also turned to look at the sound.

However, their gazes toward Pokemus were all different.

Pokoms has a very poor reputation, and could even be described as infamous.

He was originally a notorious bad kid in the eyes of the Zou residents, but later left his hometown to become a pirate.

His experiences have been full of twists and turns, but he is now a member of the Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors.

And the Four Emperors...

Everyone had only just recovered from being dominated by one of the Four Emperors' subordinates.

They really didn't have any good feelings towards the so-called Four Emperors.

"Gah, I... I came back to get something..."

Sensing the subtle attitude of the crowd towards him, Pokoms swallowed hard and said in a dry voice.

"..."

A slight silence fell over the room until...

"Who is this guy?"

Luffy asked, puzzled, as he chewed on some meat.

"He is Pekoms, a member of our Mink Tribe, but now one of the Four Emperors, and a key member of the Big Mom Pirates~"

There was a rather strange and eccentric Taoist priest among the fur tribe.

"Oh, so it's another one of the Four Emperors' subordinates..."

Luffy nodded casually, then thought of picking up another large piece of meat.

And just then~

"What did you say?!"

His figure suddenly froze. "Another one under the command of one of the Four Emperors?!"

This time, the voice clearly carried a tone of surprise and doubt.

Not only him, but the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates also looked over at the same time.

"Under the command of the Four Emperors? Where are they?!"

Similarly, Kin'emon and Raizo, who were in a slump due to discovering the existence of the traitor Kanjuro, the complete suppression of their ninjutsu, and being looked down upon by Luffy, an outsider, also suddenly stood up.

They drew their swords and formed hand seals while growling.

The two of them are clearly allergic to the title of "Four Emperors"!

Pokemus: "..."

He stared at the group of people who were behaving aggressively towards him and fell into a moment of silence.

478 What a cheapskate! He won't even lend me a little bit! A political marriage! A threat from Germa!!

I did nothing wrong, I didn't understand anything, and I was even thinking of coming up to save people.

And just like that, inexplicably... I was targeted?!

Pokemus was completely at a loss for words.

Fortunately, someone came forward to defend him.

Pedro, who had once worked with the Nox Pirates, stepped forward and explained the situation of Pekoms to everyone.

The hostile attitude of the crowd towards the Four Emperors under Pekoms has improved considerably.

Then...

"Since we're all on the same side, let's all come and join the banquet!"

As a master of banquets, Luffy very casually and generously shared a plate of... salad vegetables with Pekoms.

Well, if you want to take a piece of meat from Luffy, even the King of Heaven himself can't do it.

Pedro, having learned the whole story...

"Gaaah, so it was you who saved Zou Island!!!"

While crying with tears streaming down his face and his mouth agape, Pokoms stuffed the salad greens and rice balls into his mouth.

"Delicious...it would be even better with meat!"

Luffy: "~~~"

You're dreaming!

However, after this farce, everyone also learned that Pekoms was also a member of another Yonko.

However, he has a very good personality and temperament, and he knows how to repay kindness.

Therefore, Luffy was willing to chat with him for a bit, but the content of the chat...

"Hey, Viper!"

Luffy hooked his arm around Pekoms' shoulder and asked.

"My name is Pokemus, gaoo!!"

"Mmm, Viper~"

"...Fine, call me whatever you want, gaoo~"

"That's how it is~"

Luffy chuckled and rubbed his hands together.

"We've heard that Big Mom has a historical record of a road sign. Is that true?"

"Ah, this is something that is widely known throughout the sea."

Pokhomus nodded.

"Can we borrow it to take a look?!"

Luffy asked expectantly.

Borrow it? Take a look?

Pokemus: "???"

When a question mark appears in my mind, it's not that I have a problem, it's that you have a problem!!

He stared at Luffy in astonishment, and only after looking him up and down to make sure he wasn't joking...

He couldn't help but yell, "What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Pekoms grabbed Luffy by the collar.

"That's a Road Poneglyph related to Laugh Tale, the final island, and an important item that could make someone the Pirate King. How could Mom possibly lend it to someone so easily?!"

"I knew it was impossible! Waaah!!"

With his other hand, he lifted his small sunglasses, revealing a pair of cute little bean-like eyes that stared at Luffy.

"You'd better give up on that idea now, Straw Hat Luffy!!"

so cute……

Upon seeing such tiny, beady eyes, the members of the Heart of Law Pirates couldn't help but make an unconscious comment.

"What? You won't even let me see it? You're so stingy!"

"This isn't about being stingy or not. Even if you're my benefactor, you need to be more serious, you bastard!!"

"Then I'll treat her to meat, is that alright now?!"

"I've already told you this is a serious matter, so stop this now, you idiot!!!"

Pekoms and Luffy were spitting at each other there.

However, even when he said he was tired, it didn't change Luffy's nonchalant attitude of picking his nose, which made me feel a little tired.

"Oh, right!!"

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and then his gaze shifted, finally landing on Sanji, who was cooking.

"You must be Sanji, Black Leg? Gaaaa~"

Pokemus got up and started rummaging through his pockets.

"Yes, that's me. What's wrong?"

Sanji raised his head slightly and replied casually.

"It's like this, there's something I need you to know..."

Pokoms slowly pulled out what looked like a letter from his pocket.

"Mom specifically instructed us that if we encountered the Straw Hat Pirates at sea, we must deliver this letter to Sanji, the Black Leg."

"Do not……"

Pekoms adjusted his glasses. "It's from Vinsmoke Sanji's hands!!"

Um? ! !

Pekoms mentioned the name Sanji least wanted to remember, causing his expression to darken.

"A letter to me?!"

Sanji snatched the envelope from the mansion, which appeared to be marked with the Germa 66 logo.

"I think you should take a look, haha~"

Just as Sanji was about to tear the letter to shreds, Pekoms gave him a timely reminder.

"This might also relate to what happened at your hometown restaurant in the East China Sea..."

A restaurant on the sea? Those old geezers?!

Sanji, who was about to tear up the letter, paused instantly.

"I'd like to see what they're really trying to say..."

With a grim expression, he slowly opened the letter.
