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

"Perfect timing!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his fighting spirit and aura surged up instantly.

Just as Zoro was openly revealing his thoughts...

On the opposite ship.

"Roronoa Zoro, the third member of the Straw Hat Pirates, currently has a bounty of 880 million."

With her long, wavy blue hair, Ain gazed calmly at Zoro directly in front of her.

"According to reliable intelligence, during the Marineford War, he defeated Vice Admiral Onigumo, blocked the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk's, slash, and fought him to a draw."

In the eyes of the world, Zoro, with such a record and strength, is already a true master swordsman.

"And then there's Sanji, the Black Leg, who defeated Dalmesia, Gomir, and Vice Admiral Maynard. He has Vinsmoke family blood flowing through his veins and possesses a monstrous physique and talent."

"【Overlord Spear】Usopp also made a name for himself on the Marineford battlefield with his superb sniping skills, easily defeating Vice Admiral Prodi."

"Brook, the Sword of Soul's Demise, defeated Major General Kadaru and Lieutenant General Keisha, making him a first-rate swordsman."

"[Devil's Child] Nico Robin, the sole survivor of the Ohara incident, had a bounty of 79 million Berries on her head when she was only eight years old."

Ain recounted the information about each member of the Straw Hat Pirates on the opposite ship.

Binz and Xiu Zuo, who were standing nearby, also became increasingly serious as they listened.

Although they were mentally prepared for a fierce battle.

However, hearing about the opponent's incredibly impressive resume and record from Ain made them increasingly alarmed.

They thought they had overestimated their opponent enough, but this sounded like the opponent's strength had once again exceeded their expectations.

"The stronger the opponent, the more powerful the pirate, the more necessary it is to defeat them!!"

Zefa, on the contrary, remained solemn and slowly spoke.

His gaze behind his sunglasses was incredibly firm, clearly indicating that he had identified the group of people ahead.

"And there's also the leader of their 'Operation World' this time, the first mate, the [prop master]..."

When talking about this character, Ain paused slightly.

"After the Battle of Marineford, he was regarded by Fleet Admiral Sengoku as the most crucial figure who influenced the course of the war."

"In fact, the level of care required is much higher than that required for Whitebeard."

"It's not just the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, which is said to have invincible destructive power, but also the many mysterious effects it possesses, some of which are even amazing gadgets that Dr. Vegapunk admires..."

Ain concluded by saying, "In short, he's a pirate whose level of danger is completely comparable to that of the Four Emperors!!"

"Despite being the second-in-command of the Straw Hat Pirates, his danger level is even higher than their captain, Straw Hat Luffy!!!"

After she finished speaking in a rather heavy tone, the expressions on the faces of Binz and Xiuzuo had already become solemn.

Sure enough, this opponent was definitely at a hellish difficulty level.

Such a gap and the pressure brought by the introduction made both of them feel that the prospects for this operation were very bleak.

Perhaps... this really is their last mission outside.

"Another ability user?!"

Their teacher, Zephyr, turned somewhat gloomy upon hearing that Link was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user.

He vividly remembered that his arm was cut off by that ability user.

To this end, he even sought out the Navy's research unit to equip himself with this crusher arm specifically designed to deal with ability users.

"No matter what kind of ability user they are, if they're a pirate, they absolutely must be defeated!!"

Zefa's gaze was deep, and he also tightened his grip on something in his arms.

He certainly knew how powerful and terrifying the Straw Hat Pirates were.

Although he is becoming increasingly extreme and stubborn, he has not become stupid.

Having weathered decades of storms and turmoil at sea, his accumulated experience and operational planning were by no means weak, but rather exceptionally rich!

The main reason why Zephyr dared to bring his three capable student followers to cause trouble for the Straw Hat Pirates was because the 913 in his arms gave him a certain amount of confidence.

"Pirates are destined to be destroyed."

"Let this fledgling pirate crew experience firsthand the immense power to wipe out all pirates..."

"You'll all face the same outcome anyway; it's just a matter of time."

Just as Zefa was making a decision in his heart, a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

The two ships were getting closer and closer.

They had already reached a dangerous range sufficient to initiate boarding maneuvers.

"let's go!!"

Zefa gave a cold command.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

His three most outstanding disciples, Binz, Ain, and Xiuzuo, leaped towards the transport ship ahead.

At the same time, the NEO warships' cannons continued to bombard the area ahead!

boom! ! !

"It seems they're really impatient and eager to take us down!"

Seeing the enemy's aggressive approach and their posture of launching an attack without saying a word, Zoro and the others also got into fighting stances.

"Three people, plus the former admiral on the other side who is the commander..."

Zoro slowly drew the three swords from their sheaths.

"I want that purple-haired veteran!! The remaining three are yours to divide among yourselves!!"

Having said that, Zoro, in a very firm tone, found himself a suitable opponent.

[Thank you so much to the user 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for another 1000 points! Thank you so much!!!]

521 A Battle of Strings!! The abilities of two plant-based entities easily determine the winner!!

"I think I should take responsibility for stopping these shells!"

Usopp raised his hand, and several slime bullets shot out, blocking all the incoming judgment cannonballs.

In this situation, well, it's probably best for him to just stick to what a sniper should do.

“I would never lay a hand on the beautiful Lady Lady…”

Sanji's gaze lingered briefly on Ain's curvaceous figure before quickly shifting away.

He looked at Binz, the tall man dressed in a flashy outfit and dressed as a ninja.

"Wow, she's such a beautiful lady!!"

Brooke, on the contrary, was laughing happily. "I'll ask her what style and color of panties she's wearing..."

"I'll take care of the last one."

Luo looked at the middle-aged man, who had dark skin, a fan-shaped black beard, a long black braid at the back of his head, and arms with three joints, and was rapidly approaching using the Moonwalk technique.

Yes, they are obviously militant.

After careful observation, Luo realized that this was an opponent skilled in physical combat and possessing a powerful aura.

This is also the type that he, as a Devil Fruit user with a skillful control ability, is best at dealing with.

"Then we'll wait here for your good news~"

Robin chuckled and took a step back, standing next to Pedro, who had drawn his sword and was on guard, clearly intending to cover for Zoro and the others.

As for Link...

"interesting……"

He stood there, first glancing at Zefa, then lingering for a few seconds on a certain spot on his body.

Then he glanced sideways at a certain spot on the sea.

There, sea mist hangs in the air, as if figures are appearing and disappearing within it.

This sea area seems to be getting more and more lively!

As Link chuckled inwardly, the battle on the field instantly erupted.

And~~

They immediately entered a heated battle!

Wow~!!

The fiery kicking technique bursts into flames in mid-air.

“So hot!!”

Binz narrowly avoided Sanji's close-range attack and quickly created some distance to dodge.

"As expected of someone from the Straw Hat Pirates, a single attack made me feel the breath of death..."

Binz swallowed hard, his face a mixture of relief and unease, as he looked at Sanji, who was also using Moonwalk and standing easily high in the sky.

Well, the only difference is that the other person's feet are radiating a burning heat like a red-hot iron.

"Let's end this battle quickly!"

Sanji said casually, "It's almost afternoon tea time, and I still need to brew Robin a cup of my special Love Knight Black Tea!!"

So, let's not waste our time!!!

Binz: "..."

Is fighting him less important than brewing a cup of black tea?!

These words, which completely disregarded him and made him feel extremely aggrieved, made Binz feel uncomfortable.

What's even more upsetting is that what the other person said so matter-of-factly... was indeed the truth.

The difference in strength between the two is truly immense.

The kick I just received was clearly a casual one from my opponent, but I had to concentrate all my attention to narrowly avoid it.

Moreover, the sheer power of that attack... Binz believed that if he were hit once, he would absolutely not be able to stand up and take a second hit.

"It seems there's no need for any further probing..."

Binz took a deep breath and put away all the kunai darts he was about to throw.

"Despite the huge gap in strength, I will never give up!!"

"Those who are not righteous pirates have no right to live!!!"

"Disappear like dust right before Teacher Zephyr's eyes!!"

His eyes were resolute as he began to twist his body there.

"So lush! So lush! So lush! So lush!!!"

Accompanied by a strange dance and music, several huge tree branches suddenly sprouted from the wooden boat beneath their feet.

"Clump-forming plants!!"

With Binz's low shout, in an instant, all the tree branches rushed towards Sanji and pierced through him wildly!

"The ability to control plants?!"

Sanji, who had seen the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, also had a slight glint in his eyes.

"I remember there are two kinds of abilities that can control plants. One of them is the Lush Fruit, which can manipulate nearby plants and accelerate their growth."

"It means that you need to move your body when you activate your ability. The frequency of the movement and the amplitude of the swaying will affect the operation of the ability."

Clearly, in Sanji's view, Binz's ability is undoubtedly this Devil Fruit.

As for the other plant-based ability, it is the ability to photosynthesize, allowing it to replenish its energy without needing to eat.

Furthermore, it can grow specific plants on its body. For example, it can grow a large flower on its back, resembling a bamboo dragonfly, which can carry people into the air.
