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

He, Momonosuke, has made such a huge sacrifice and contribution, so I think those young ladies should be very cooperative with him.

But~~~

It seems those pretty young ladies misunderstood his intentions, ignoring his well-intentioned and sincere inquiry.

Instead, they were terrified, as if they were frightened, and let out piercing screams.

Then, a group of so-called law enforcement officers arrived.

To thwart my good deeds... my good deed of gathering intelligence on the outer seas.

It was also thanks to the timely arrival of my retainers Kin'emon and Kanjuro that I was able to drive away those troublemakers!

However, it seems that they stirred up a hornet's nest.

A large group of pursuers came to arrest them, aggressively chasing after them with weapons in hand.

In response, they naturally fought and retreated simultaneously.

But ultimately, outnumbered, Momonosuke was separated from Kin'emon and Kanjuro in the end, amidst Momonosuke's despairing gaze.

Thus, he was reduced to the status of a prisoner.

545 Momonosuke's agonizing screams!! He truly is a high-quality slave!! Where exactly is his limit?!

Momonosuke wasn't captured by Kaido, but instead imprisoned by this group of forces from the outer seas. This is a disgrace to the Kozuki clan!

Momonosuke felt deeply ashamed, but there was nothing he could do.

They could only watch helplessly as their identity changed and what they were about to face.

At the beginning, when Momonosuke saw the person interrogating him and about to attack him, she was a tall, hot, and beautiful woman with long, wavy hair, wearing golden armor.

He even harbored a secret, almost drooling anticipation, as if he were about to awaken some extraordinary constitution.

However, what he didn't expect was that the more beautiful a woman was, the more vicious she was.

This woman left an indelible impression on Momonosuke from the moment she arrived.

Whips and candles are supposed to be stimulating and fun tools for certain behaviors.

However, for Momonosuke, it marked the beginning of immense suffering.

The woman named Bakala subjected him to unimaginable torture.

It was a heart-wrenching pain he had never experienced before.

It's important to know that even during his most difficult time in Wano Country, he lived in Kuri, inside the daimyo's castle.

25

He has retainers, is the young lord of a daimyo, and the son of a powerful regional lord!

Not to mention, his father is the son of the shogun of Wano Country!!

This kind of status means that Momonosuke is showered with love and affection, and even his mother, Lady Toki, dotes on him.

His delicate skin had never suffered even the slightest injury, let alone endured severe torture.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cry after being punched by Luffy.

It's fair to say this guy was all bark and no bite; after Bakara used a few tricks on him...

Ahhhhh! !! !!

He then let out a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, a scream that seemed to come from hell.

His cries of pain did not stop Bakara; on the contrary, they piqued her interest and made her more and more interested in Momonosuke.

Especially when she saw that Momonosuke, despite being tortured and tormented, could heal his injuries very quickly, aside from his rather shrill cries.

In other words, it's incredibly durable and resistant to rough handling!

This made Bakala's eyes light up, and she felt like she had finally found a treasure.

"I've always heard that there are many creatures with monstrous, tough skin on the high seas..."

A smile of extreme excitement spread across her lips. "But I never expected that I would run into you today!!"

Looking at Momonosuke, whose face was bruised and swollen from her abuse, and who was groaning and moaning in pain, though most of his injuries were superficial:

"And it's a very young kid, that's really interesting!!"

As she spoke, a hint of excitement crossed her face as she flicked the leather whip in her hand.

Subsequently, she gradually loosened her grip on Momonosuke's actions, based on his condition.

Electric shock, burning at the stake, waterboarding, stabbing, whipping, and bestial punishment...

One of the punishments she inflicted was on Momonosuke.

This marked the beginning of the most painful period in Momonosuke's life.

At first, Momonosuke's struggles and screams were exceptionally jarring.

But soon, his screams and wails gradually faded away.

Upon seeing this, Bakala thought that the guy couldn't hold on any longer and had reached his limit.

But after careful observation, she realized that it was just that the little rascal's voice had become hoarse from shouting and he had no strength left.

Such a durable toy is simply irresistible to Bakala.

She even wanted to go a little more ruthless, using the same methods she used on slaves, to test her skills on this peculiar little brat.

Let's see where his limits really are!

What's more~

"I heard this little brat is a little pervert?"

Bakara stepped forward and used her slender fingers to lift the chin of Momonosuke, who looked almost dead but was actually not seriously injured.

"Being able to spend time with a top-tier beauty like me, even if you were treated like a slave, would probably be a very happy and honorable thing for you, right?"

Bakara chuckled as she spoke, preparing to subject Momonosuke to some ruthless methods of slavery.

Just as she was about to take action, Mr. Tanaka walked in.

Hearing the noise, Momonosuke also struggled to lift his head.

Although he didn't know who the guy floating in mid-air was, he whispered a few words to the red-haired beauty.

Then the woman, who had lost interest and looked bored, waved to Mr. Tanaka.

Then, he let the frivolous man lead him away from this place that was a nightmare for him.

Finally, we're out of here!!

Momonosuke was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

This environment, which he found hellish, made him never want to return.

Even though he knew that being taken away might mean being taken elsewhere to suffer other tortures and punishments.

But what if?

If they were to escape safely, what measures or actions did Kin'emon and the others take outside to rescue him?!

Especially after he was taken away from that place, the strange man arranged for someone to give him a bath, clean him up, and apply medicine to some of his injuries to cover them up.

With this thought in mind, Momonosuke's swollen eyes still shone with a hint of anticipation as he was being led along.

However~~~

When Momonosuke was taken to another place that looked incredibly luxurious, bright, quiet, and with an extremely beautiful environment.

Seeing Mr. Tanaka bowing and saying something to the group of people in front of him, his subconscious knew that something bad was about to happen.

Perhaps, his suffering is far from over.

Sure enough, after the guy floating in mid-air finished speaking, the strange man wearing a peculiar bubble oxygen mask and a white protective suit shook his head.

It looks like he's nodding?

That attitude showed that they didn't take the other person seriously at all, or as if the other person didn't exist.

His indifferent gaze and face made it seem as if he were looking down on the ants below from a high place.

Similarly, the way they look at themselves is as if they are looking at some interesting cargo.

That kind of gaze made Momonosuke extremely uncomfortable and uneasy.

At the same time, it also made Momonosuke feel a little familiar.

Yes, back in Wano Country, some local daimyo also looked at their people with that same gaze.

In other words, 943's opponent was also of upper-class status, just like him?

He really wanted to do or say something, like revealing his identity.

Unfortunately, he was unable to speak in front of this nobleman of unknown rank.

He now has no choice or room for action; he is destined to be chosen.

"Very good~"

After having someone inspect it, the guy called out by someone else, named Camuel Saint, nodded and said with great satisfaction.

"As long as you like it!"

After receiving a reply, Mr. Tanaka left Momonosuke behind and quickly passed through the wall to leave.

It's better not to stay here any longer and disturb Saint Camarel's enjoyment.

"Indeed, a high-quality slave!!"

Saint Kamal was very interested in child slaves, especially the one in front of him, whose decorations suggested he came from a special country.

"Wano Country?"

Camarel Saint naturally obtained some information about Momonosuke from Mr. Tanaka.

"It's actually the world's second strongest country, that closed-off and extremely mysterious Wano Country?!"

A keen interest appeared in Kamal Saint's eyes.

If it really is from that country, then I've truly struck gold!

Thinking of this, Kamal Saint subconsciously placed his hand on a jade box beside him.

Inside the box, partially hidden, were banana-like fruits with peculiar, spiral-shaped arabesque patterns, and a grayish-black color.

This was something he had meticulously prepared specifically for this particular slave, a way to enhance his enjoyment!

546 Momonosuke, fed a Devil Fruit!! The mark of slavery!!

The secret treasure of the sea: the Devil Fruit!!

As a Celestial Dragon, it's quite easy for him to acquire a few Devil Fruits for entertainment.

They often used Devil Fruits to amuse their favorite slaves.

If this little brat in front of me really is a high-quality slave from Wano Country, that mysterious land, and as amazing as Tesoro described...

It's not that we can't give him one; let him provide more enjoyment!

Of course, to ensure that his identity was absolutely certain, Kamal Saint still needed to double-check it himself.

As Celestial Dragons, almost every one of them is a self-taught master when it comes to tormenting slaves, possessing corresponding insights.

Even if some Celestial Dragons are so useless that they don't even know how to play with slaves, they still naturally have subordinates to serve them.

So, after Kamal Saint had his CP subordinates use some special methods on this slave brat who was suspected to be from Wano Country.

He got everything he wanted from this kid.

"My father is the shogun of Wano Country, which is equivalent to the son of a king? And a daimyo of a region, the so-called ruler?!"

Kamal Saint, completely ignoring Momonosuke who was screaming in agony from the methods of his subordinates, was instead overjoyed at the confirmed truth of the news he had received.

"I can't believe it's true?! He really is a nobleman from Wano Country, and of quite high status at that?!"

Kamal was overjoyed, and even the range of his head movements slowed down considerably.

He truly never expected that while he was casually strolling around here, he would encounter such a high-quality slave!

Sure enough, this place truly lives up to its name, Gran Tesoro; it's known for having everything, and you can buy anything with money!
