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

Well, in his eyes, something worth tens of millions is already considered a great pirate.

In addition, there are some plans concerning Alabasta.

However, given his limited authority, he couldn't access much information; he only knew that the organization had many plans to carry out in Alabasta.

One of his main missions was to eliminate Princess Vivi and Minister Icarus, who had infiltrated the organization.

However, it was clear that their mission was a complete failure.

"It seems we're completely caught up in this vortex..."

After hearing this, Nami sighed and rubbed her forehead. She also wanted to just leave and pretend that nothing had happened.

However, this is obviously unrealistic. Given the capabilities of the Baroque Works in this area, it would be easy for them to know that they were the ones who killed more than a hundred bounty hunters on this island.

Thus, the blame is placed on them.

Regardless, the feud between the two sides has now been definitively established.

If that's the case... then they're just the Seven Warlords of the Sea, right?! Let's just do it!!

Seeing the eager expressions on Zoro and Luffy's faces, Nami also gritted her teeth and decided to go all out.

"that……"

Just as she was resolutely making up her mind, a weak voice suddenly came from behind her.

Looking back, I saw Weiwei, who had regained her princess-like demeanor and ladylike grace, cautiously approaching me.

"Could you please take me back?"

She made this request, which she herself felt was somewhat excessive, with some trepidation.

"I'll take you home..."

Nami sized up the princess before her, blinked, and said:

"sure!!"

A charming, approachable smile instantly appeared on her face.

"In Link's words, 'to help those in need is the mindset we modern pirates should uphold,' and we must keep up with the times." Nami said kindly in a gentle voice, "We will make sure you are safely returned to your country."

"Really?!"

Vivi, who was already prepared to be rejected and was ready to swallow her pride and beg, was overjoyed to hear Nami say that.

At that moment, she felt that the world was full of love, and Nami's smile was so warm and touching.

Yes, if Usopp or others who know Nami well saw this, they would definitely know that it was indeed a warm smile.

However, the target was not Vivi, but her princess status, and more importantly, the benefits that came with that status.

Nami clearly viewed escorting Vivi as an investment.

"Everyone, is everything alright?"

Although she could have made the decision herself, she pretended to ask her companions for their opinions in order to put Vivi at ease.

Luffy had no objection, Zoro didn't comment, Usopp had no opinion, and Sanji was just hoping another beautiful woman would join the crew so he could fawn over her even more... no, fawn over her even more.

Thus, their decision to escort Vivi to Alabasta was easily made.

The enemy, who was originally on high alert, suddenly became the one that needed to be protected.

Such a wondrous exchange of identities and factions truly makes one marvel at the wonders of the ocean.

Link and his companions rested here for a while, ate and drank to their hearts' content and cleared out all the stock. Then Nami ransacked the place. Only then did everyone board the ship, completely satisfied.

As for the guy with the exploding snot, he was left on the island. When the nearby navy came to inspect him, they could conveniently send him to prison.

Vivi boarded the ship with Nami, and beside Vivi was her pet and mount, the desert land duck Karu, who had been with her through thick and thin.

As for the blond, wavy-haired mayor, Mr. 8, also known as Icarus, who was identified as being on their side, well…

"Sir, what are you doing? Why are you wearing a skirt and underwear?"

Luffy looked at Icarus with some confusion.

Icarum coughed twice and then shared his thoughts.

He planned to disguise himself as Vivi to draw enemy fire.

It's just that he's a tall, thin man in his fifties, pretending to be Weiwei...

Leaving aside whether the enemy will actually fall for the trap, can it really serve its purpose of attracting attention?

Even someone as blind and stupid as Luffy, who couldn't even see through Foxy the Silver Fox's disguise, could tell that Icarus was in disguise. This shows just how terrible his disguise skills are.

Link stared at the minister in front of him, who seemed very much like a cross-dresser, and his eyes twitched slightly.

He even wanted to use some props to help him.

However, considering that this bigwig was able to return to Alabasta unscathed afterward, and that he was able to step forward at a crucial moment, bringing a little boy who had seen the truth to tell the insurgents and residents the whole story.

Link was unwilling to get involved any further, to avoid creating unnecessary trouble.

After Luffy and Usopp learned about it, they admired the man's courage and wanted to invite him to join their crew.

However, Ikaram insisted on his own way, and when everyone saw that they could not dissuade him, they respected his opinion.

"Is it really okay?"

Weiwei gazed at the blood-red setting sun on the distant horizon, which was gradually sinking towards the sea, where the reflections of solitary ships hung in the water.

I couldn't help but feel a little worried for Ikalam.

No problem

Having just finalized the business deal and amassed a small fortune through a spree, Nami comforted Vivi with a cheerful expression:

“We’ve taken care of all the assassins chasing you. He shouldn’t have any problems for the time being, unless…”

boom! !

Before Nami could finish speaking, the ship carrying Icarus in the distance exploded violently.

The towering flames, reflected on the blood-red sea, seemed to be proclaiming something.

"Icarim!!"

Vivi, who witnessed this scene, turned deathly pale and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"Unless there are other assassins following them."

Nami finally managed to finish the words that were on the tip of her tongue, her voice slightly hoarse.

However, before she and Vivi could react again, they sensed a sudden change in the atmosphere on the ship.

"Oh my, beautiful lady, you guessed right!"

Suddenly, a pleasant chuckle came from the deck.

This is definitely not the voice of any member of the Straw Hat Pirates!!

Nami was absolutely certain of that.

She turned her head and saw a woman sitting cross-legged on the second-floor railing. She had slightly dark skin, wore a white snowflake hat, a purple leather jacket, a purple floral pencil skirt, and matching stockings.

A captivating yet dangerous smile played on her lips, and she exuded a mature charm, like a ripe peach or a sweet persimmon.

She is a very charming woman with a fascinating story, and also a dangerous one.

Even in Link's mind, a lyric vaguely appeared:

"What's most alluring is also the most dangerous!!"

He knew the person who arrived all too well.

wMiss.Allsunday!!"

With a trembling voice, Weiwei uttered the woman's current code name within the organization.

At the same time, she also revealed her boss's partnership.

"It seems our little princess has successfully escaped the pursuit."

This woman, exuding both allure and danger, gently cupped her cheek in her hand, her star-like eyes blinking slightly as she smiled and said:

"It seems you've found a new helper."

La!

The moment she finished speaking, the Straw Hat crew members on the ship instantly took action.

[Thank you so much for the generous donation!!]

080 No one is truly alone in this world! I know Crocodile's secret, his secret with the Queen of the West.

Usopp immediately pulled out his slingshot, while Nami nervously gripped the [Tornado Meat Pipe] tightly in her hand.

Zoro drew his sword, while Sanji... Sanji lit a cigarette, trying to calm himself down.

Faced with such a beautiful, charming, and alluring older sister, it's hard for him not to feel his heart race.

As for the scene in the anime where he and Usopp, one holding a flintlock pistol and the other a slingshot, are aiming at the woman, that's just utter nonsense.

Usopp is fine, but as for Sanji, firstly, as a chef, he has personally stated that his hands are for cooking, not for fighting, let alone using a firearm.

Secondly, what about having Sanji point a pistol at a beautiful older woman's temple?

That would be better off just killing him.

The only two people who didn't make any moves or gestures at the scene were our Captain Luffy and First Mate Link.

One was confident in knowing the whole story, while the other was simply recklessly bold and didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

Apart from the two of them and Sanji, who was almost rendered useless in the face of the beautiful woman, everyone else immediately pointed their most powerful weapons at this uninvited guest.

"Don't point your weapons at me!"

This uninvited, dangerous woman, with her eyes crinkling and a gentle smile, spoke in the most tender tone what was rather dangerous.

"Eek?"

It seemed as if the sound of flowers blooming and scattering arose. Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, petals fluttering down, followed by the sound of objects falling to the ground.

Zoro's sword, Usopp's slingshot, and Nami's [Tornado Meat Pipe].

"Is she also a Devil Fruit user?!"

A slightly solemn expression appeared on everyone's faces.

It was only a little, and they weren't too worried.

Previously, when they were at the enemy's base, two powerful ability users appeared, but Link and his gadgets easily took them down.

Now that the other side is on their ship, and this is their home turf, they have even less to worry about.

Didn't you see Link and Luffy looking so calm and collected, like they weren't worried about anything?

With these two powerful figures around, they weren't worried at all about what kind of trouble the other side might cause.

“Princess Vivi, you should thank me. If it weren’t for my intention, how would the two of you have known about the boss behind our company?” The mature and charming older sister looked at Vivi with her beautiful eyes.

Luffy: "So, she's a good person."

Vivi, however, was not fooled by appearances and immediately became furious. "Then, did you also build Icarum's ship?"

"Is it me?"

She didn't deny it.

Luffy: "So he was a bad guy after all!!"

Hearing the other party admit it, Weiwei felt even more grief and indignation: "Why?!"

She was asking them both why they had leaked information to them and why they had come to kill them now.

However, she was destined never to get the answer, and no one could fathom the true thoughts of this mysterious witch.

She didn't answer Vivi's question, but instead shifted her gaze to Link and Luffy, who were standing there the whole time.

"Eek?"

Another sound of petals fluttering filled the air, and Luffy's straw hat suddenly flew towards the mature older woman.

"Straw Hat Pirates, Captain: Straw Hat Luffy, bounty: 44 million Berries."
