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

The situation is almost exactly the same as in the original version.

Vinsmoke Judge, the leader of the Germa Kingdom and head of the Vinsmoke family, after seeing Sanji's bounty poster and learning that he had come to the New World.

They also started to have some crooked ideas.

He planned to reuse Sanji, the son he had once abandoned, as a tool for a marriage alliance with Whole Cake Island.

The Germa Kingdom and the Vinsmoke Family, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Charlotte Family formed an alliance through marriage.

What he wanted was to obtain Charlotte Linlin's power in order to realize his Vinsmoke family's dream of reunifying the North Sea.

·· ·····Requesting flowers· ······

Charlotte Linlin, on the other hand, coveted the many technological weapons, bloodline factors, artificial soldiers, and other achievements of the Germa Kingdom.

So the two sides hit it off and decided to take this marriage approach.

This led to the Vinsmoke family issuing a bounty to the World Government, demanding that the crew be captured alive, and sending their subordinates and the Big Mom Pirates to search for the Straw Hat Pirates on the high seas.

Then deliver the letter to Sanji.

"What kind of joke is this?!"

After Sanji finished reading the letter, he couldn't help but tear it to pieces in anger.

"He wants me to be a tool for his political marriage? Is that bastard out of his mind?!"

The condescending tone and attitude in the letter, in particular, clearly showed that Sanji was not taken seriously, which made him even angrier.

........ ....... ...

"We had already agreed to let each other live our own lives, but then they discovered my existence, thought I wasn't dead, and figured they could make use of me again, so they came after me again?!"

Sanji was so angry he laughed; he was practically laughing out of rage.

Judge made no attempt to conceal the contents and thoughts in his letters.

This attitude of completely ignoring him and merely using him as a tool to be used and bestowed with immense favors undoubtedly enraged Sanji.

Under normal circumstances, Sanji would definitely spit twice and then completely ignore him and continue doing what he was doing.

But~~~

"So, by borrowing the power of the World Government, they can take action against that old geezer and his gang at any time?!"

Sanji suppressed his anger, his face grim, recalling the threat Judge had given him at the very end of the letter.

The Germa Kingdom is currently a member state of the World Government, paying substantial Heavenly Gold and even engaging in technological cooperation with the World Government. They also possess some power to influence the actions of the World Government.

Sending the navy to hunt down the pirate "Barefoot" Zeff, who once roamed the Grand Line, would be an easy task for the Germa Kingdom.

That is precisely why Sanji had to consider Zeff and the others.

He wouldn't mind if he were alone and went on adventures with his companions.

However, when it comes to that old geezer and his gang from his hometown, we have to be careful and consider things carefully.

However, it would be difficult for Sanji to find a proper solution based solely on his own thinking.

Fortunately, Sanji isn't such a rigid person.

When his brain was working frantically but he still couldn't find a suitable solution...

"Link, can you give me some advice?"

Without hesitation, he turned to look at the most trusted first mate on the ship.

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you so much to 'Eternal Night' for the generous donation of 588 points! Thank you!!!]

479. Turn around and threaten them!! The next plan is to split our forces into two groups!! How should we split them?

"What should we do? Actually, it's quite simple~"

After listening to Sanji's explanation, Link smiled and said:

“Since the Vinsmoke family is threatening you with their sea restaurant, you can also threaten them in return. Let them know that you are not to be trifled with and can shake their foundations. Then they will naturally not act rashly against you, but will be filled with fear and hesitation.”

"Turning around and threatening them?"

Sanji seemed to be deep in thought.

"That's right~"

Link snapped his fingers lightly and said with a smile:

"For someone like that, you can only make him realize how wrong it was to target you by making him feel pain."

"Some guys only learn to back down when they feel pain. And only by cutting off the outstretched hand can you deter the other limbs that are about to reach out."

"You should know that you are now a world-renowned pirate, not the weakling that the other party thinks you can be manipulated at will."

"You have the strength and the qualifications to cut off that outstretched hand of the other party!!"

"not to mention……"

Link gently patted Sanji on the shoulder:

"You still have us~"

"That's right, Sanji!!"

　Although Luffy didn't understand what was going on, it seemed someone was trying to harm or threaten Sanji, and he immediately objected.

"Anyone who dares to bully my cook, I'll be the first to get revenge!!!"

"That's right, that's right! Anyone who dares to lay a hand on Sanji, we'll all be out there and take them down!!"

"Get it!!!"

The other two fools, Usopp and Chopper, were also there cheering Sanji on.

It was also there that they demonstrated their determination and attitude.

Even Zoro instinctively placed his hand on the sword at his waist.

"A member state of the World Government..."

He pondered there, "It seems I really haven't cut it before..."

Although the others didn't say much, the smiles on their faces and their determined eyes showed their attitude.

"Everyone..."

Sanji's lips trembled slightly, moving but he couldn't utter a word.

Yes, they are companions.

They will fight to the very end for their own cause.

So when others encounter such a situation, he will naturally be the first to rush forward.

They were already partners, so there's really no need for further thanks or politeness.

"...So what's our next step?"

After a brief silence, Sanji finally spoke up and asked the question.

Link, upon seeing Sanji, did not leave with Bege alone as in the original story. Instead, he was willing to discuss and solve the problem with his companions.

This attitude made him very gratified.

The reason Sanji did that in the original story was that he felt the Four Emperors were too powerful and strong for Luffy and his crew to handle, so he chose to leave alone and bear all the consequences.

Just like Robin's fate in Water 7 and Enies Lobby.

He even boarded the Sea Train to comfort Robin, but after it actually happened to him, he couldn't let it go.

However, Sanji now trusts his comrades without reservation.

As their strength grows, they experience numerous life-and-death encounters and adventures alongside their companions...

They even made it through Enies Lobby, Impel Down, and Marine Headquarters.

They have already fought against the Navy's 100,000 elite troops, including the three admirals and elite vice admirals, as well as the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

They dared to fight against such a lineup, and in the end, they still managed to win.

So what about those mere Four Emperors...?

Sanji is absolutely confident!

He had unwavering faith in Luffy and Link, and in all his crewmates!

Even if it means opposing the Four Emperors, they are completely fearless!

Just ...

"Are we going to face off against another one of the Four Emperors?!"

Nami sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"First Kaido, then Big Mom..."

She shook her head, looking a bit of a headache, and said, "It really is one thing after another, making it impossible to relax for even a moment!"

"Isn't this just right?"

Zoro laughed instead, "If we can defeat two Yonko at the same time, it will greatly save us time on our adventure."

"Perfect timing to gather those two road sign historical texts together!!"

You're oversimplifying things...

Nami's eyebrows twitched as she looked at Zoro, somewhat speechless.

"Gah, I'm talking to you guys..."

Pokemus listened in utter astonishment the entire time.

Do you even know what you're saying?!

"Of course~"

Luffy replied matter-of-factly, "We're discussing how to defeat two Yonko at the same time."

Pokemus: "..."

Am I crazy, or are you all crazy? Or perhaps, is the world crazy?!

"Those are the Four Emperors! The Four Emperors!!"

"So what if we know?"

"So... do you guys know what the Four Emperors represent? Gaa ...

"Of course I know. They're just four powerful pirates, right? They're all pirates anyway, we can just defeat them all."

"..."

Pokoms thought this straw hat kid was hopeless.

Is he genuinely stupid, or is he oversimplifying the problem?

He could only helplessly look at Link, who was lost in thought.

This prop master, the first mate, seems quite reliable and reasonable...

"If we are to face two Yonko, then we may need to split our forces into two groups."

Link offered his suggestion there.

"Whether it's Jack being defeated by us in this 'drought' or Sanji's 'political marriage' incident, these are the kinds of things that can't be delayed."

"Having defeated the Beasts Pirates' top commander, Kaido will definitely take action, so we need to act in advance and strike first."

"As for Sanji, the Germa Kingdom is very likely to launch an operation against the Baratie restaurant because of Sanji's long absence, so this matter is also urgent."

"Therefore, we should start planning to deal with two Yonko at the same time as soon as possible."

The other members of the Straw Hat Pirates listened thoughtfully and nodded in agreement, finding the point quite reasonable.

Upon hearing this, Pokemus exclaimed: "~~~~~~"

I take back what I just said. They're all lunatics, gaooooo!!!

"Should we split our forces into two groups? How should we do that?"
