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

"So you abandoned your pirate crew and came here, most likely for that guy in that run-down restaurant in the East Blue, right?"

"As expected, a failure is a failure. A useless thing with emotions is destined to be unable to become my excellent achievement and can only be used as a tool for marriage."

Judge's tone was exceptionally impolite, and he completely disregarded Sanji's attitude and feelings.

Just like back then, they abandoned Sanji without any mercy.

"Back then, they made a solemn promise to kick me out of the house, but in the end, for their own benefit, they shamelessly resorted to such despicable means..."

Sanji, without changing his expression, took out a cigarette from his sleeve and lit it.

Beneath the wisps of smoke, his face revealed a hint of irony:

"His words are like farts—utterly meaningless!"

"What did you say?!!"

Judge's expression darkened slightly.

Being publicly mocked by his own worthless failure in front of so many people in such a setting made even Judge feel somewhat humiliated.

Just as he was about to reprimand again, he heard:

"Who said I betrayed the Straw Hat Pirates and came here all by myself?"

Sanji's swirling eyebrows relaxed slightly, and a radiant smile bloomed on his face.

"Um?!"

His words undoubtedly sparked a bold idea in the minds of everyone present.

"Could it be that……"

Hey~

A flash of red light appeared quickly in Katakuri's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, his expression changed drastically.

"Quickly find something to cover your mouth and nose..."

boom! !

Before he could finish his shout at his younger siblings, several explosions suddenly rang out from the top of the tower, drowning out the rest of his words.

At the same time, thick plumes of green smoke instantly swept towards the arena.

Before anyone could react to the explosion, they were already surrounded by thick smoke.

"What is this?!"

Some of Charlotte's ministers hadn't even had time to react, or even opened their mouths to ask what was going on.

I felt my body going weak and limp, and then I couldn't even stand up, collapsing to the ground.

"This green smoke is poisonous...!!!"

The children of Charlotte's ministers, their expressions suddenly changing, uttered these words with trembling lips.

They couldn't even shout anymore.

The poison that made them feel weak and powerless had already seeped into their bodies in every possible way.

"this is……"

The well-informed, expert in the field of assassins, the "Master Funeral Director" Piekro staggered as he spoke with difficulty:

"The evil scientist, Caesar Clown's signature poison gas weapon, [KORO]!!"

This is a highly effective poison gas weapon used in assassination warfare!

They are very popular in the underground world.

However, these gas weapons are in short supply in the underground world, and there are not many available even on the market.

It is said that the Beasts Pirates have monopolized most of these toxic gases.

The Drought [Jack] and the Plague [Quinn], two of the three calamities, both favor this weapon.

Yes, this is the poison gas Jack released on the Mink Tribe on Zou.

However, the toxic gas released from the top of the Whole Cake Island tower was of a much higher quality than that of the previous one.

"Why……"

Piekro's voice was hoarse. "How could such poisonous gas suddenly appear here, and in such large quantities?!"

"Whoosh whoo ...

A wild, arrogant laugh with a distinctive voice rose up across the area.

"This is the most wonderful gift that the great and brilliant scientist, Caesar Courant, has prepared for you!!"

That arrogant, smug laughter echoed in everyone's ears.

"Caesar..."

The ministers of the Charlotte family, who were lying on the ground, powerless and unable to move, could only watch helplessly as a cloud of white gas slowly drifted down from the sky.

Above that gas, Caesar's face, the one they wished they could kill, appeared.

"The upgraded version of [KORO], I call it [Death Realm]!! It brings an aura of death to this so-called Totto Land. Whoosh, what do you all think of this name?"

He spread his arms out, raising them towards the sky, a posture that resembled the descent of a god.

"Caesar, you bastard..."

Some ministers wanted to draw their swords, but they could barely lift their heads.

This time, the "Death Kingdom" is far more potent than the previous "KORO" poison gas.

And just as they were staring intently at Caesar.

“Swish swish!!”

In the sky, the glutinous rice bullets rained down like a storm, hurtling towards Caesar.

Each bullet had an incomparably black sheen, clearly indicating that it was coated with a considerable amount of Armament Haki.

Even Caesar's gas-like elemental body could be easily pierced through.

It’s just~

"ROOM!!"

Accompanied by a low drink.

The blue and white inverted circles seemed to have been prepared in advance, appearing instantly and covering the entire venue.

"baton!!"

In an instant, all the rice bullets that were about to hit Caesar were transferred to another location on the island.

"[Surgeon of Death], Trafalgar Law..."

Under the influence of the rice, Katakuri's arm had transformed into the shape of a machine gun. Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared next to Caesar and stood on the high wall, Katakuri's face was covered with black lines.

·· ·····Requesting flowers· ······

"If I remember correctly, the Heart Pirates have been following the Straw Hat Pirates' activities ever since the Marineford War began."

"So that means..."

Ding!

Katakuri's eyes flashed red repeatedly, followed by veins popping out on his forehead.

It was at this moment.

"baton!!"

Luo's fingers trembled slightly.

In an instant, several figures appeared in the center of the arena.

"We've waited so long..."

Zoro led the way, shouting, "Finally, we can really do something big!!"

His gaze swept across the entire area before finally settling on the towering Katakuri.

A fierce fighting spirit surged rapidly in his eyes.

"Pirate Hunter, Dual Pistols, Nose Song, Devil Child... Is this a massive gathering of the Straw Hat Pirates?!"

........ ......... 0

Next to Katakuri, Charlotte Owen, whose body radiated a fiery, roasting aura that burned away all the green poisonous smoke around him and had no effect on him, also stepped forward.

Despite being a Paramecia-type Heat-Heat Fruit user, his expression was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

"It seems the Straw Hat Pirates came prepared this time too~~~"

Charlotte Daifuku, a twin brother with short yellow hair, a mustache, earrings, a blue cotton-padded jacket with shoulder ornaments resembling two mochi, and a yellow cape.

At this moment, he was enveloped by the steaming aura emanating from the belt bearing the symbol of the magic lamp, and the poison gas could not penetrate him at all.

He is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the Steam-Steam Fruit ability. He can summon Steam Demons by rubbing them together, which he can use to fight enemies or defend himself.

"As expected, he was able to destroy Enies Lobby, break into Impel Down, the underwater prison, and even wreak havoc at Marine Headquarters alongside Whitebeard, and participate in the Marineford War..."

Charlotte Smoothie, one of the Sweet Commanders, slowly walked forward, having squeezed out every last drop of the poisonous smoke around her, making the air even clearer.

She was extremely tall, far exceeding the average person, and had striking long white hair that covered one eye.

Wearing gloves, with long legs adorned with tattoos characteristic of the Long-Legged Tribe, carrying a longsword with a spiral scabbard on her back, and dressed in pink, patterned knee-high boots.

She is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the ability to squeeze dry any object she touches, removing all moisture from it.

This demonstrates that even under the onslaught of the poisonous fog, the monsters of the Charlotte family still displayed their formidable strength and various methods of evasion!

Their reputation as monsters is well-deserved.

However, there are still creatures even more deserving of the title of monster who have not yet shown themselves...

494 Morgans' Excitement, Link Appears, Charlotte's Family Faces the Monster!!

"Whoa!!! I never expected the Straw Hat Pirates to show up here!!!"

A muffled, excited sound emanated from beneath Morgans' closed beak.

I never expected the Straw Hat Pirates to suddenly appear.

Is this supposedly the most powerful and vicious supernova in history here to declare war on the Four Emperors and engage in a formal confrontation?!

This is absolutely huge news, BIG NEWS!!

His plump bird-like body trembled uncontrollably as he frantically snapped photos of the scene with his tiny camera Den Den Mushi.

Because his face was covered by fluffy bird feathers, and his breathing passages were temporarily sealed, he was not affected by the poison gas.

Stussy, who was standing next to him, was also unharmed.

"The Straw Hat Pirates?!"

This CP0 member, who was proficient in the [Life Return] technique and also kept the poison gas outside his body, had his eyes gleaming as he stared intently into the arena.

It was as if they wanted to imprint everything that had happened firmly in their minds.

Regardless of whether they are the Four Emperors or the Straw Hat Pirates, they are all key targets of the World Government's attention.

I never expected that a collision would occur at this particular time.

And~

"The Straw Hat Pirates haven't been in the New World for very long, have they? They've already defeated Doflamingo, and now they're going to target one of the Four Emperors?!"

Stussy was there analyzing and judging.

At the same time, she looked left and right, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"Pirate Hunter, Black Leg, and Dual Guns—these pillars of the crew who shone brightly in the Marineford War and possess formidable combat power—have all arrived. But where is their captain, Straw Hat Luffy?!"

Not only Stusi, but Morgans also had the same doubts.

"That's strange, where's their captain and first mate?!"

The enormous bird's head kept searching for traces of its target.
