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

Her bright eyes were fixed on the knife in Zoro's hand, and a hint of shock appeared in her eyes.

That was a national treasure of Wano Country, lost for a full twenty-one years, and yet today, in such a setting, it has been brought back to light in the hands of a stranger!

And this person is a pirate?!

She was in shock, while the maid beside her stared intently at the old man who had come with Zoro.

"Father……"

Despite her confusion and worry, she let out another melodious, bell-like laugh.

And the old father she was worried about...

"Oh my, what happened so suddenly..."

Sensing the increasingly tense atmosphere in the arena, sweat streamed down A-Kang's forehead.

　(Li's) "Such a thing happened?!"

The current situation and the events that have occurred have truly exceeded his expectations; the situation is even further out of control.

Just as the atmosphere in the arena was reaching a fever pitch, Zoro and Kyoshiro were poised to unleash their power.

"Ah, is this the famous brothel?!"

Suddenly, a joyful, ecstatic voice rang out from one side of the street:

"I've heard that the country's number one courtesan and number one beauty, Miss Xiao Zi, lives here, is that right? Please!"

"I really want to see her!!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the figure with wavy legs and golden hair appeared gracefully.

Sauron: "..."

That familiar tone of voice... it sounds so irritating, makes you want to punch him!

Zoro turned his head with a dark expression and saw the guy he really didn't want to see appear in his field of vision.

That craning neck, looking left and right, with a lecherous and sleazy face, was exactly like a lecherous pig.

Sauron: "..."

It really was that idiot!

How did he end up here too?!

Chapter 597 Luffy, who has been deceived twice, can't seem to shake off this idiot captain no matter where he goes!

"Green algae head?!"

Zoro looked gloomy, and Sanji finally noticed the almost stagnant atmosphere and looked over.

"You actually came here?!"

Sanji said, clearly annoyed, "Why would someone as clueless as you show up in this place?!"

"I'd also like to ask you, you idiot perverted kappa~"

Zoro rolled his eyes at this, "You did the same before..."

boom! !

Before he could finish speaking, the building behind him suddenly collapsed and shattered, and two figures emerged from it.

"Is this the place!?"

A figure, bloated like a black patterned balloon, with black hair flowing wildly down its shoulders and wearing a straw hat, emerged from behind.

"This is the other residence where the giant serpent is temporarily staying?!"

Luffy asked a soldier he had dragged to the scene.

At the same time, his gaze began to sweep over his surroundings.

Then~~~

"Huh? Zoro? Sanji?! You guys are here too!!"

His previously cold and intimidating expression vanished in an instant, replaced by a hearty smile:

"What a coincidence!!"

Yes, after Luffy arrived, the Straw Hat crew's three-man fighting force has once again gathered here!

Sauron: "..."

Sanji: "..."

How come I can't get rid of this idiot captain no matter where I go?!

Both of them were speechless.

"What are you doing here?!"

The two of them twitched at the corners of their eyes and asked the question at the same time.

"I was thinking about that guy called Kurozumi 500 Orochi~"

Luffy answered honestly.

"Kurozumi Orochi?"

Sanji lit a cigarette and pointed towards the conspicuously luxurious mansion beneath the enormous cherry blossom tree in the distance:

"Isn't his mansion over there?!"

Even a complete stranger like him, who just arrived in the city today, knows that place; there's no reason why Luffy wouldn't recognize it.

Surely this idiot isn't like that moss-headed moron who got lost and ended up here too?

"No~"

Upon hearing the question, Luffy scratched his head with his other, thick arm:

"This guy told me that Orochi wasn't at his mansion, but at this temporary residence, saying he was listening to a courtesan's performance, so he specially led the way and brought me here."

Luffy spoke very seriously, and even lifted the soldier in his hand who had been rushing along at high speed and was now foaming at the mouth.

Zoro and Sanji: "..."

Is it possible that the other party is deliberately deceiving you to lure you away?

"Um, Luffy..."

Sanji went even further, saying, "Have you ever thought about it...?"

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, almost biting off the half-smoked cigarette: "Is this guy lying to you?"

Luffy:"……"

"That shouldn't be the case, right?"

He looked at the soldier in his hand with some uncertainty and said, "I even asked him, 'Is it true?' He nodded repeatedly and said, 'It's true.'"

Sanji, Zoro, along with Kyoshiro who had been listening the whole time, Oyasu, and the courtesan in the attic, were all speechless.

In other words, is it possible that the answer to this question, "He was the first one lying to you," is also lying to you?

Sanji and Zoro closed their eyes in apparent pain.

Our own idiot captain has become stronger, but his brain and intelligence are exactly the same as when he first set sail!

"Uh... um..."

While Luffy was speaking, the samurai he had dragged there also slowly woke up.

Soon, after opening his eyes, he saw Kyoshiro standing in front of him, and his eyes widened instantly:

"Boss Kyoshiro!!"

The soldier looked at Kyoshiro holding the sword, his face filled with overjoyed delight:

"This strange man in the straw hat is the pirate who wanted to attack Lord Orochi. I brought him here!!"

He spoke very quickly, impatiently blurting out these words.

Luffy, who heard everything the whole time: "...??!"

"Nani?!!"

He stared in shock at the obsequious man in his hand. "You were actually lying to me?!"

Zoro and Sanji had completely turned their heads away, unwilling to look at this guy.

Forget it, I'm tired. Let's just destroy it already!

Even Kyoshiro, one of the parties involved, stared blankly at Luffy.

When it became clear that he wasn't faking it, but genuinely shocked and felt deceived...

"Those guys are your companions?!"

He was equally astonished, "Why does his brain seem to have..."

Kyoshiro said it subconsciously, but then realized something and swallowed the words back.

"That's right, there's a problem."

Sanji and Zoro were both muttering to themselves.

After meeting Luffy, the two completely lost their tempers, and the previous confrontational atmosphere disappeared.

Zoro lowered his sword.

(cade)

With such a foolish and disgraceful captain, he simply lost all will to fight.

"Boss Kyoshiro!!"

The soldier continued to assert his presence, constantly whimpering, "Hurry up and take care of this pirate!!"

He spoke expectantly, his voice brimming with greed and smugness:

"I went to great lengths to trick him into coming here!!!"

"In the entire Flower Capital, apart from Captain Fukurokuju of the Oniwabanshu, only you could have killed such a vicious thug!!"

"At that time, Lord Orochi will surely reward us handsomely!!"

His eyes were filled with smug satisfaction at having tricked Luffy, and greed for the reward that was about to be received.

It took a lot of effort?

Kyoshiro's expression was somewhat strange.

Looking at the man in the straw hat in front of me, he doesn't seem like he's exerted a lot of effort at all...

Perhaps feeling secure with Kyoshiro present, the soldier became incredibly arrogant.

But he seemed to have forgotten something.

That means he's still in Luffy's hands right now~~~

I don't know if they really thought the situation was already settled, or if they were so blinded by a sense of certainty that they lost their minds.

After he uttered those words, openly treating Luffy like an idiot...

"How dare you lie to me?!"

Luffy was so angry that his eyes widened and he started yelling.

boom! !

Before the soldier could say anything more, Luffy tossed him aside.

"I'm going to send you flying!!"

With sharp teeth and white eyes, it glared at the soldier who had been thrown high into the air, and its arms began to gather strength again:

"Rubber, rubber..."

"Boss Kyoshiro!!"

The soldier immediately panicked, flailing his arms and legs wildly, yelling, "Help me!!"

"Lion Rocket..."
