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

but……

From what Mom just said, it's clear that she's already convinced that the Straw Hat Pirates and the World Government are the real culprits behind this incident.

So they'll probably have a lot of work to do next.

At the same time that Charlotte Linlin let out such a roar, inside the Charlotte family's medical room...

Inside a room filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.

"I see……"

Weakened by the poison gas, Becky lay there with an ugly smile on her face.

"Charlotte Linlin's weakness!!"

　The "September 13 Incident" happened at his wedding; how could he not have paid attention to it?!

However, at the beginning, he and his bride, Chiffon, were both knocked to the ground by the poisonous gas.

However, he still managed to stay composed and observe the situation.

Especially after he saw Link destroy the photograph of the nun in front of Charlotte Linlin.

Charlotte Linlin's reaction.

"The supposedly invulnerable steel balloon, impervious to swords and bullets, was just shattered like that?!"

"When the body is in an extremely vulnerable state, if we seize such an opportune moment and launch a poison gas bomb no less powerful than this 'Kingdom of Death'..."

The ruthless glint in Becky's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He had been planning to find the right opportunity to backstab Charlotte Linlin.

But now it seems that before he even had a chance to look for it, the opportunity came knocking on his door...

Straw Hat Pirates, you guys really did me a huge favor!!

"Sister-in-law, you can't come in now..."

Suddenly, a commotion arose at the door of the ward.

Then, to Becky's stunned gaze, Chiffon, with her thick lips, weakly barged in.

Well, the main reason she was considered "breaking in" was that no one dared to stop her because of her sickly appearance.

What if their mistake causes something to happen to their sister-in-law...

Their boss is truly capable of taking them down.

"As long as you're okay..."

Chiffon, who had rushed over anxiously, couldn't help but let out a relieved smile when she saw Becky in good condition.

Then he closed his eyes and slowly fell to the ground.

"Sister-in-law!!"

"Chiffon Minister!!"

The gangsters guarding Becky's door, as well as the doctors who came to see Qi Feng, hurriedly rushed over.

"Did she come to see me specifically because she was worried about my safety?!"

Becky stared blankly at Chiffon, his nominal wife, lying on the ground with a smile on her lips.

This was the first time he had ever felt cared for.

Suddenly, a unique emotion welled up within him.

~~~~~~~~~

On the other side, on the sea of ​​the New World.

The Straw Hat Pirates, the group that the Charlotte family and Bege and others longed for...

They also encountered some problems along the way.

At this moment, on an exquisite and magnificent transport ship.

A group of people stood at the front, gazing at a fleet that suddenly appeared on the sea not far away.

"What kind of fleet are those? The navy?!"

With his title "Overlord Spear" in hand, Usopp confidently assumed a fighting stance after touching the Overlord Spear at his waist.

He had just emerged unscathed from a fierce battle in the territory of one of the Four Emperors, and had even swiftly killed one of their high-ranking officers!

Usopp's confidence is off the charts right now; he's ready to take on any opponent!

He was utterly fearless, even towards naval admirals...

Ahem, let's leave the admiral's words for now and talk about them later.

These warships in front of us don't seem to have the strength of a naval admiral at all!

"It doesn't look like one; it's not a proper warship..."

Zoro also glanced at the strange warships ahead, somewhat puzzled:

"Moreover, the flags flying on the fleet weren't the navy's seagull flags with doves of peace; instead..."

"It looks more like a pirate's skull and crossbones flag~"

Luo also shared his opinion.

"Or rather, it's more like a banner that represents the determination to defeat pirates, that sees pirates as mortal enemies."

He touched his chin, feeling that the other person's behavior was somehow in line with his own.

"An important pirate flag, does it have this kind of meaning? Why does the other person seem like a hot-blooded young man?"

Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, commented on the enemy.

Well, rather than a passionate young man, he's more like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

However, Law's guess was correct; the other party was indeed a good match for someone like Law who loved superheroes.

Link, with a smile on his face, looked towards the flag ahead and at the several figures faintly appearing on the deck of the foremost ship...

He remembered that when the other person was young, he also liked and admired heroes, and often called himself hero 'Z' to punish evil and promote good.

Until he joined the Navy, Hero Z ceased to exist, leaving only the renowned Marine on the high seas.

[Black Wrist] Zephyr.

"Are those people...naval personnel?"

Sanji was increasingly confused. "Their attire doesn't seem to match, but their overall style clearly reflects the military discipline found only in the Navy. They..."

Sanji was talking for a while when he suddenly couldn't speak anymore.

Because he saw it: a beautiful woman with wavy hair and blue hair standing directly in front of the deck of the ship ahead.

Sanji: "...!!!"

"Ahhh, it's the beautiful Ms. Letty!!!"

Immediately, his exposed eyes turned into hearts, and he began to dance in a wave-like motion.

"Wow, it's been so long since I've seen such a beautiful woman!!!"

Brooke laughed and laughed, and her fingers moved a little faster as she fiddled with the keyboard.

Their eyes were both fixed on the blue-haired beauty.

The figures that appeared around the beautiful woman also came into view of others.

"That person is..."

Robin looked at the purple-haired old man standing at the front, with a giant shredder in his right hand, and also showed a look of surprise:

"Marine Headquarters Admiral, [Black Arm] Zephyr?!"

She had barely finished speaking when she immediately shook her head and said:

"No, he should be called a former admiral of the Navy Headquarters."

His decision to leave the Navy in a fit of anger caused a huge uproar around the world.

Moreover, the final condition for Link to win the bet with Issho was 1.6, which Robin found very memorable.

Although the other side has withdrawn from the navy, they have upheld their sense of justice for so many years, and they still have a large number of people and a fleet to rely on, as well as their current aggressive posture...

Clearly, they've come with ill intentions!

She couldn't help but glance at Link beside her again, almost subconsciously.

Upon seeing the first mate's familiar smile, Robin was slightly taken aback at first, and then smiled back.

Link wasn't worried at all. It seemed that this unexpected encounter and attack on the high seas wouldn't cause any problems in the end.

Everything was just like any other adventure, without any worries.

This reliable man will take care of everything for them!

"A former Navy Admiral?!"

Upon hearing Robin's words, Usopp's previously high spirits and brimming confidence immediately faltered.

The other party is actually a Marine Admiral?!

520 Zephyr's confidence!! I want that purple-haired veteran!! The remaining three, you can divide them among yourselves!!

Although he was just a former admiral of the Navy Headquarters, he was still an admiral at some point!

In Usopp's mind, Zephyr was automatically ranked on par with Admirals like Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru.

Especially Luo, who was standing next to him, added:

"I heard that the current Fleet Admiral Akainu, Admiral Kizaru, and former Admiral Akainu who has left the Navy were all trained by [Black Arm] Zephyr."

"Many vice admirals were even trained by him, making him a mainstay of the navy."

Usopp: "..."

The more you say that, the more formidable this guy seems!

Usopp immediately pulled the gun he was holding back to his chest and pretended to wipe it.

"A former Navy Admiral?!"

Sanji composed himself. "Judging from their aggressive demeanor, they don't seem to have any good intentions!"

"Yo ho ho ho ho, after all, he was a former admiral of the Navy Headquarters. Even if he left the Navy, he must still have a sense of justice that he wants to uphold, right?"

Brooke was there, chuckling softly.

"So it's only natural that we pirates would lure this group of righteous people here."

"But being chased by a Marine Admiral of the 25th generation is hardly a good thing..."

Pedro, who was traveling alongside on the boat, also gripped his longsword tightly.

"Especially since we just finished the battle in Whole Cake Island, and fought against the Charlotte Family and the pirate crews of the Four Emperors..."

Usopp, unable to hide his frustration, sighed and groaned, his head throbbing.

"And then we were met with pursuit from a former Navy Admiral-level officer?!"

First, he was the strongest pirate, and then he became the top combatant of the Navy and the World Government.

Encountering opponents of this caliber time and time again, their current predicament is truly unparalleled!

However, not everyone is as pessimistic and helpless as Usopp.

"Perfect timing~~~"

Zoro placed his hand on the scabbard at his waist again.

"I didn't get to play enough at the Cake Castle earlier..."

A surge of fighting spirit reappeared on his face.

"I never expected that the sea could make up for my lack of fighting spirit and send me such a group of people."

"This is really..."

Zoro strode forward, facing off against the numerous NEO Navy warships.
