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

He was drawn to the sesame bottle in Link's hand.

"Able to pick locks, is this some kind of powerful sorcery?!"

At the same time, he stood up and stretched his wrists and body.

"Sorcery? That depends on your individual interpretations."

Link smiled nonchalantly.

At the same time, the clicking sounds of unlocking doors could be heard outside, along with cheers and celebrations from the prisoners.

However, after many guards had been defeated, some prisoners mustered their courage, stepped forward, and took out the keys to their shackles from the guardhouse.

Then, one by one, the sea stone shackles that bound each person were removed.

"Alright, after you ring the bell, go to Komakitsunemaru and explain what you need to tell him."

Link glanced at He Song casually, then turned and left.

Before coming here, he had already discussed it with Komako Onimaru. After he met with Kawamatsu and handed over what he had gained over the years, he would go to the designated location to find Link and the others.

Therefore, Link doesn't need to worry about the rest.

"and many more……"

Seeing Link leave so suddenly, Kawamatsu was taken aback and wanted to follow him to get some answers.

It’s just~

"vomit!!"

Before he could take two steps, his face turned pale instantly, and a feeling of nausea suddenly welled up inside him.

The toxins accumulated from consuming poisonous fish over the past eleven years erupted at this moment.

Ugh!

Kawamatsu quickly found a corner and started vomiting there.

Meanwhile, Link also arrived outside the cell.

The atmosphere fell silent as the prisoners, who were still celebrating, saw Link walk out.

They looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

And at that very moment~

A small, elderly man with light blue flame-shaped hair, eyebrows, and beard, and blue vest-shaped tattoos adorned with pink flowers on his shoulders and back, stepped out.

"Thank you for your liberation!!"

Behind those small, dark blue glasses with orange frames, a serious expression filled his eyes as he bowed and expressed his gratitude.

At the same time, behind him were three men and one woman, all with similarly strange appearances and tall statures, bowing and thanking him.

Yes, those three men and one woman were four people who were gang leaders in Wano Country many years ago.

They are Omasa from Udon, Tsunagorou from Hakumai, Ocho from Ringo, and Mitabe from Nozomi.

They are prominent gang leaders in Wano Country, have a deep friendship with Hyogoro, and were also four of Hyogoro's most formidable henchmen back then.

Hyogoro, who lived in the Flower Capital, was a former yakuza boss of the Kyoshiro family.

But now...

Link glanced at the thin old man in front of the three men and one woman who were bowing there, and shook his head.

"There's nothing to thank me for. I'm just here to accomplish my own goals."

"Although you have your own motives, we have also benefited from this and have been able to be liberated!!"

Leopard Goro, whose real name is Hei Goro, and who is affectionately known as "Master Hei," this thin, old man still spoke very earnestly:

"Regardless, we will never forget your kindness!!"

After saying that, he bowed down once again.

The three male and one female underworld bosses behind him also lowered their heads once again.

Not only them, but also the prisoners who were freed and dressed in black and white striped uniforms all bowed down at this moment.

With the help of Link and others, he was finally freed from his decades-long imprisonment.

It wasn't just about Link's kindness to them, but also about their respect for the strong.

The strength that Link and his group displayed was enough to make them lower their heads.

However, as the person involved, Link really felt that it was a trivial matter and had no intention of seeking any reward.

He didn't pay any attention, just waved to the group of people and raised his hand in a gesture of respect.

Then, he turned his gaze to a secluded corner of the quarry.

In that direction, Aokiji's figure stood tall.

In front of him were three very familiar figures.

Among them, the striking, unruly red hair stood out particularly.

As for the two people next to them~

One wore a shattered mask, the other had a gloomy face resembling a charlatan.

However, their current situation doesn't seem to be very good.

603 Kid and the others are shocked!! [Home-use satellite combo kit], Aokiji and Link!!

"Why……"

Kidd, with his red hair and spiky wig, looked at the tall man standing in front of them, who was sizing them up with a very indifferent expression.

"Why would a Marine Admiral from Marine Headquarters be here?!"

He practically shouted it out, his eyes and face filled with disbelief and incomprehension.

This island is Wano Country, the territory of the Beasts Pirates.

The area where they were located was also the island's recognized prison area.

Why would a great general suddenly appear in such a place?!

Kidd expressed his incomprehension, and Kira, who was carrying Hawkins with his four severed limbs, was equally bewildered.

Well, the trio only recovered a little from their injuries today and were released from prison to work in the mines.

Before they could even get started, the quarry was captured.

What's even more outrageous is that in less than three minutes, the place was completely overrun.

After his initial surprise, Kidd was quite excited, feeling that fate had finally smiled upon them and their opportunities had arrived!

This idea reached its peak after the sea stone shackles and handcuffs on their bodies were also removed.

But~~~

When the trio saw Aokiji in front of them, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads.

Admiral...

They had imagined many things, but they never expected to meet someone of this status and level in this place.

First the Four Emperors, then the Navy Admirals... Some rather absurd ideas even began to surface in the minds of the trio.

Is God playing a cruel joke on them?

“Ah la la~”

Seeing the three of them staring with eyes that looked like they were about to burst, Aokiji scratched his head instead:

"I'm the former employee, I've already left the company!!"

He kindly reminded and corrected it there.

Kidd's trio: "..."

What difference does it make?!

They looked at Aokiji with an indescribable expression.

That feeling, how should I put it...

The shock goes without saying, but there was also vigilance, wariness, fear, deep confusion, and bewilderment at the chaos of the world.

This ocean is truly magical; I encountered unexpected people in an unexpected place...

"Long time no see, you three."

As the three were experiencing complex emotions, a cheerful voice suddenly came from the side.

"【Props Master】..."

Seeing the approaching figure, Kidd and Hawkins were deeply impressed and would never forget it.

They all set sail in the same year, starting from humble beginnings.

However, the gap between the two sides is widening, whether in terms of reputation, achievements, bounty amount, or even strength.

This made Kidd and his crew feel extremely frustrated, but also eager to prove themselves.

Therefore, it was through Hawkins' divination that he came to this land of Wano, thus ending up in this predicament.

At this moment, seeing the target he had been chasing right in front of him, Kidd's eyes instantly turned as red as his hair.

What do you want to do?

Link glanced at the bristling Kidd with a smile, and couldn't help but chuckle, saying:

"Given your current state, forget about fighting, it's questionable whether you can even stay standing."

Kidd with a severed hand, Killer with a shattered mask, Hawkins with broken limbs...

Well, those who know them will recognize them as three famous Supernova pirates; those who don't might mistake them for some sickly or disabled individuals who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"You guy..."

Seeing his most disheveled side exposed to others, Kidd's face immediately turned even redder.

Given his volatile temper, he would have already started fighting Link to the death.

However, firstly, their current physical condition is indeed very poor, and secondly...

He glanced at Link standing with Aokiji and also sensed that something was wrong:

"you……"

He opened his mouth and pointed at Link and Aokiji.

"Ah, this guy is probably the helper I invited here for now~"

Link patted Aokiji on the shoulder in mid-air and said with a smile.

Kidd: "..."

Kira: “…”

Hawkins: "..."

The eyes of the three people at that moment showed what it truly means to leap out of one's eye sockets.

Pirates actually managed to get the Navy as their help?!

Actually, back in the South China Sea, Kidd had seen instances of pirates and the Navy colluding and using money to influence the Navy.

but……

I've never seen pirates and marines of this caliber operate together before!

One is the "Worst Generation," a notorious pirate who successively invaded Enies Lobby, Impel Down, and the Marine Headquarters—the three major institutions of the World Government—a truly heinous criminal!

The other one, however, is an admiral from the Navy Headquarters!

Although he was the former, he was still a true general-level figure!

These two things have actually gotten mixed up and are cooperating with each other...

Especially considering that these two participated in the Marineford War together and were on completely opposing sides!

And yet, in the blink of an eye, less than two months have passed?!
