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

Too much talk!

After leaving behind that dry sentence, Zoro, with a dark face, lowered his head and stiffened his neck, followed Luffy's path.

Is there anything more embarrassing than getting lost and dying in a hotel room?

The answer is yes, getting lost and dying twice in a row~~~

Even someone as strong-willed as Zoro couldn't resist the subtle atmosphere in the arena and immediately left.

Behind Zoro, "Pfft, hahaha, a desert cactus, can't even tell which way to go?"

Sanji was behind him, smoking a cigarette and laughing heartily.

He was mercilessly and unscrupulously mocking them.

However, as he stepped out, he was immediately met with a bright flash of a blade.

"Heh, trying to launch a sneak attack~"

Having anticipated and prepared for this, Sanji calmly raised his foot, which was wrapped in Haki, and immediately began to entangle with Zoro.

"That's still better than you, a lewd kappa who's out of the water!!"

Zoro, not to be outdone, retorted.

The two of them continued their playful banter as they walked, eventually leaving the place.

"Are they... alright?"

Seeing the considerable commotion Zoro and Sanji caused, with clouds of dust rising from the open, rocky, dusty ground outside the forest, it was clear that their strength was indeed formidable.

"Don't worry, those guys may not be the brightest, but they still have basic intelligence."

Nami waved her hand dismissively, "They'll leave some room for maneuver, besides~"

She laughed there, "With Sanji fighting Zoro, he can lead the way and prevent him from getting lost again."

"Is that so?"

When Ayu thought of the samurai brother's terrible sense of direction, she nodded in sudden realization.

He then looked at Nami with a hint of admiration.

Sure enough, they were companions on the same boat, able to understand each other's characteristics so well.

"Alright, we should say goodbye now."

After Luffy and the other three leaders had gone far away, Nami stretched slightly and, together with Robin and the others, said goodbye to Link, Tama, and the others.

Then his figure slowly disappeared from the spot.

"You're leaving already?"

Compared to Ayu, the fur-bearing canines were the most reluctant to part with her.

Even Duke Inuarashi, looking in the direction Brook had left, had a hint of regret in his eyes.

Franky, Usopp, and the others changed their clothes at Link's place, picked up their equipment, and set off on their journey together.

Well, the two of them chose to change their appearance because they were both large, their machine-like features were too obvious and easy to spot, and they were both cautious and meticulous in their work.

However, their choice was correct. After changing their attire, no one could tell that they were pirates on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.

They were just like any other residents of Wano Country, easily blending into the crowd and becoming inconspicuous.

After making all the necessary preparations, the two of them, along with Law and the Heart Pirates, bid farewell to Link.

Yes, Luo and the others also plan to go to the Flower Capital to broaden their horizons.

"I've heard that there are brothels and geisha in Wano Country. As the capital, the Flower Capital must have the highest-class brothels and geisha."

Luo smiled slightly aloofly: "Perfect timing to take my companions to see it for themselves~"

Mmm~

Shaki, Pekin, and the others nodded repeatedly.

Even Peibo looked up there with longing:

"I wonder if there will be any female bears performing there..."

"How could such a creature possibly exist?!"

Shaki and Pekin both waved their hands and complained.

"Private Marseille..."

Peibo lowered his head, feeling very down, and whispered an apology.

"He's actually become dejected, and the gloomy atmosphere emanating from the pitch-black background wall behind him is just too overwhelming, isn't it?!"

"Gah~"

Looking at Pebo's appearance, Pokoms, who had come along with him, couldn't help but lick his lips.

This younger brother doesn't seem to have inherited the bold and daring spirit and style of his older brother, Jiebo.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to properly train him, at least to correct this personality trait.

[Thank you so much to the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for the incredible generosity with this donation!!! Thank you so much!!!]

581 Too many surprises and plot twists! Kozuki Sukiyaki arrives!! The departure of everyone~

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, the courtesans of the Flower Capital..."

Caesar, who was floating to the side, also gave a cryptic look, his eyes filled with longing.

Back in the day, he worked under Doflamingo, swindling Charlotte Linlin out of her funds and living a life of unbridled luxury.

Every night, they would call the "GirlsShip," the famous pleasure boat in the entertainment district, to the island for a night of revelry.

To put it bluntly, Caesar's life was probably one of the most extravagant and decadent lifestyles in the entire One Piece world.

At least during the day, he lives a life of luxury, freely pursuing his desired work and research, and in the evenings, he has the company of beautiful girls~~~

So, it's no wonder this scumbag had such bad luck later on!

"Unfortunately, I can't go..."

He seemed lost and adrift there.

He, Ah Niu, and Pokmusi all had to stay behind and watch the ship obediently.

And it was also so that they could communicate with Link and Luffy in a timely manner and inform them of Whitebeard and the others' arrival.

There's also Shiryu, and the Navy crew, etc.

They must report any signs of these other forces arriving immediately.

And if necessary, they also need to steer and control the ships to different places.

Link even left them some props for this purpose.

This effectively locked Caesar and his group up on the ship, preventing them from wandering off and forcing them to stay on the ship and watch Link and the others explore the island's towns.

There, I felt a deep sense of loss and melancholy.

Especially since his heart was in Link's hands, he was even less able to disobey Link's orders.

After having a meal, the three of them—Ah Niu, Pokmusi, and others—headed back towards the pier.

As the three left, the others also headed to their respective destinations.

"They've all left..."

Kin'emon and Raizo watched as the Straw Hat Pirates dispersed and headed off in different directions.

He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

After all, the Straw Hat Pirates had never promised them anything before, and their purpose in coming here had always been very clear: they only wanted the Road Poneglyphs.

Even if necessary, we should avoid conflict with Kaido as much as possible.

Their understanding of Wano Country was simply to learn more about the new island, so as to know their enemy and themselves and never be defeated.

They never said they would help them liberate Wano Country.

"However, even if Lord Luffy and his crew didn't have such intentions, their next move... 々～ ..."

Kin'emon gazed at the group of people heading towards the Flower Capital, their figures gradually disappearing into the distance.

His time together also made him clearly aware of the extent of trouble Luffy and his crew could cause.

Given Luffy and his crew's behavior and temperament, it would be difficult for them to avoid causing a disturbance once they enter the Flower Capital.

so……

"They will eventually push for the liberation of Wano Country."

Kin'emon and Raizo both believed this.

On one hand, they trusted Luffy and his crew's personalities, and on the other hand, they had some faith in Lady Toki's prophecy.

Since it was left behind by Lady Toki, prophesying that Luffy and his companions would be the ones to save Wano Country, then it's definitely true!

Kin'emon and Raizo calmed themselves down and then whispered and discussed it for a while.

Ultimately, they decided to head to Tou-yama to find the leader of the Tou-yama bandit gang, who had changed his name to Shutenmaru, and their companion, Ashura Doji, one of the Nine Red Scabbards.

Without hesitation, they informed Inuarashi and immediately set off for Touyama.

Meanwhile, Inuarashi and the other Mink Tribe members were also there to gather intelligence and contact potential samurai in various locations who were loyal to the Kozuki family.

This also led to the Mink Tribe members, like Luffy, being dispersed to various regions of the island.

However~~~

Numerous canine fur-bearers, seemingly without prior arrangement, all rushed in the same direction.

Even Inuarashi himself subconsciously headed in that direction.

That's where Brooke left~~~

Soon after the Straw Hat Pirates dispersed, Kin'emon, Raizo, and the Mink Tribe members also left one after another.

Only four people remained at the venue.

"I never imagined you came here not to liberate Wano Country..."

Tenguyama Hitetsu said this, then sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Link who was still standing there, and Aokiji who was not far away with his hands in his pockets.

The conversation just now made Tenguyama Hitetsu understand the current situation.

He truly hadn't expected that this group of people would come here with Kin'emon, and that they seemed to have some shared experiences.

However, no agreement was reached regarding the operation to come to this island; it seemed as if they were here for a regular adventure.

He was somewhat surprised, but he wasn't such an annoying, talkative guy.

Having experienced so much, he knows that there are some things you shouldn't ask. If others are willing to tell you, then listen; if they aren't, then it doesn't matter.

Anyway, he was given this life for nothing; he should have been dead long ago.

Tenguyama Feiche felt this way in his heart.

Meanwhile, Ayu, who was beside him, seemed to be encouraged by Luffy and also mustered up her energy to walk into the wooden house to complete her homework for the day.

She aspires to become a glamorous female ninja, and with Brother Ace arriving soon, she can't afford to waste her potential.

We must make sure Ace sees the results of her training over the years!

"Isn't there just too many unexpected things and plot twists in this world?"

Link smiled as he watched Ayu's joyful and expectant figure depart.

"For example, someone who should have been dead, but ultimately appears alive and well before us~~~"

He turned his gaze to the silent Tenguyama Hitetsu and spoke slowly.

"Isn't what I said correct, Mr. Tenguyama Hitetsu?"

"No~"

Link's gaze gradually became leisurely and profound. "Or should I address you as the former Shogun of Wano Country, the father of Kozuki Oden..."

"Mr. Kozuki Sukiyaki?!"
