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

"not good!!"

Luffy's expression immediately changed, and he shouted something that startled Denjiro and Hiyori who were standing next to him.

Just when they thought something bad had happened and were about to ask Luffy what was wrong...

"Link struck Orochi's mansion with lightning, and didn't the ninjas inside also suffer from his lightning strikes?!"

Luffy clapped his hands, looking quite annoyed, and said:

"I haven't even had a chance to see those real ninjas in person yet!!"

To witness... a real ninja?!

Denjiro and Hiyori both looked completely bewildered.

Is it really just for something like this?!

"However, Lord Luffy, you know Kin'emon and Raizo..."

Hiyori asked with some confusion, "Isn't Uncle Raizo an extremely skilled ninja?!"

"Although he looks somewhat fierce and unsightly, as a ninja, his ninjutsu and skills are absolutely exemplary, making him a model of an excellent ninja!!"

Hiyori thought Luffy was judging Raizo by his appearance because he didn't think he was a good ninja.

"Raizo?"

Luffy shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

"He's just a fake ninja using the name of a ninja."

Luffy exhaled a puff of white vapor from his nostrils and said disdainfully:

"You can't even use chakra, and you still dare to call yourself a ninja?!"

Check...chakra?!

Several question marks appeared on the foreheads of both Hiyori and Denjiro.

"That's right, chakra, the chakra that can be used in ninjutsu~"

Luffy was gesturing wildly, saying, "He doesn't know how to use the Eight Gates, the Great Fireball Technique, the Lightning Blade, and other techniques!!"

Eight Gates... Lightning Blade... Are you sure these are really ninjutsu?!

Having little knowledge of ninjas, Hiyori looked at Denjiro with some curiosity.

The latter quickly shook his head, saying, "I've never heard of such things either!"

"Is that so? So you've never seen a real ninja before..."

Seeing the two of them looking completely bewildered, Luffy also looked disappointed and sighed.

Well, if we look for someone by his standards, I reckon we wouldn't be able to find a real ninja in the entire Wano Country.

"The lightning seems to be gradually subsiding."

As the lightning above Orochi's mansion gradually subsided and the dark clouds slowly dispersed, Sanji couldn't help but suggest:

"Why don't we go take a look together?"

"Of course I'm going!!"

Luffy was the first to state that he hadn't given up:

"I'm going to see if any real ninjas have survived!!"

In this respect, he has an inexplicable persistence.

[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!]

610 The liberation of all regions!! Everything has finally settled down!

Besides Luffy, Denjiro also plans to come and take a look.

However, just to be on the safe side, he planned to split up with Luffy and the others into two groups.

In the name of Boss Kyoshiro, go and see this disgusting guy he's been protecting.

As for Hiyori Kozuki, she will be kept under the care of Shimotsuki Yasuie for the time being, and no rash actions should be taken against her.

After arranging everything, the Straw Hat Pirates' three main fighters, along with Denjiro and the others, left the brothel and headed straight for Orochi's mansion.

Along the way, they encountered quite a few residents of Wano Country.

However, they all knelt down on both sides of the road, clasping their hands together and chanting, as if they were praying to a god.

Ignoring the crowd, the group continued walking and soon arrived at the huge cherry blossom tree.

Before they could get close, a hoarse laugh came from ahead.

"Hahahaha, you can run away again!! You can't escape my great Usopp's marksmanship, hahaha, cough cough cough!!"

The familiar laughter that came from there startled Luffy and his crew.

"Usopp?!"

When they got closer, they saw that Usopp was also charred black, standing in the arena, exhaling a cloud of black mist.

At his feet lay a snake head with five heads, all of them rolling their eyes, lying on the ground, their fate unknown.

At the same time, the aroma of burnt meat wafted from his body, causing Luffy, who was getting closer, to involuntarily salivate.

Gollum~

The sound of him swallowing was particularly clear. Usopp heard it, turned around, and saw Luffy and the others. He couldn't help but grin and say:

"Look, Luffy, I took care of this guy with ease!!"

With guns in his hands and the giant five-headed snake at his feet, Usopp certainly looked like a snake-slaying hero.

"That's Kurozumi Orochi?!"

When Denjiro arrived and saw the creature's appearance, he was secretly shocked.

With its grayish-brown scales and enormous square-faced head, who else could it be but the Black Charcoal Serpent?!

He is a Mythical Zoan type of Snake-Snake Fruit user, the Yamata no Orochi form, and in Denjiro's eyes, he is a monster with eight heads.

only……

"Why are there only five heads left now?!"

Denjiro was surprised, but also puzzled.

"That's because his ability is to have eight heads, which represents eight lives~"

Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from beside him.

"The fact that there are only five heads means that he has already suffered three fatal wounds and used up three lives."

Is that so? !

Denjiro nodded subconsciously, feeling that he had learned something new.

Immediately~

"who is it?!!"

He suddenly realized what was happening and shouted in shock and alarm.

The fact that the other party was able to get to my side without me noticing shows that they are also a formidable opponent.

Could they be accomplices of Kurozumi Orochi, or members of the Beasts Pirates...?

Just as he was lost in thought, he saw the two people beside him, one of whom was particularly tall.

"Ah, Link, you're here!!"

Luffy suddenly greeted him with a cheerful laugh, "And... Aokiji, hello!"

Hello... Aokiji glanced at Luffy, unsurprised by his manner of greeting.

"Link? Is that the guy who brought down the lightning?!"

He had already heard this name once when he was at the brothel, and now that Luffy mentioned it again, Denjiro couldn't help but look over again.

This young man truly lives up to his reputation as a righteous man; he has an impressive appearance and is indeed a first-rate hero on the vast ocean!

Having seen Link's appearance and attire, Denjiro, who already had a good impression and respect for his actions and strength, made this judgment of Link in his mind.

"Hmm, let's see if this big snake has turned into a dead snake~"

Link nodded in greeting, then looked at the large, black snake lying on the ground, its tongue lolling out and foaming at the mouth, and couldn't help but laugh:

"I didn't expect this guy to be so tough, managing to survive with five lives."

In addition to granting them formidable physical prowess, each Mythical Zoan type naturally possesses an ability comparable to that of a Paramecia type.

Kurozumi Orochi's Yamata no Orochi ability granted him the possibility of having eight lives.

As the saying goes, cats have nine lives, and the Yamata no Orochi has eight heads, so it's not surprising that it has the ability to have eight lives.

As for whether this ability is too abnormal~

It's worth noting that even Hawkins' Straw-Straw Fruit ability allows him to transfer the damage he suffers to others.

Strictly speaking, as long as he produces enough straw, he can gain enough lives.

This is far more powerful than simply having the ability of Yamata no Orochi with eight lives.

Even though Kurozumi Orochi has lived a life of luxury and hasn't exercised much over the years, his body has become ruined.

However, relying on the terrifying physical attributes of this mythical beast, it managed to withstand Link's ploughing-like lightning.

Well, but it also cost three lives.

Later, after the lightning subsided, the giant black serpent, which had risen from the ashes in the ruins, turned to flee.

However, Usopp, who was hiding nearby and was accidentally hit by a lightning strike, was struck by the Overlord Spear and fell to the ground injured.

He was then hit with several more shock shots before collapsing to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

In fact, even if Usopp didn't intervene, Link, with his Observation Haki, wouldn't have let this guy escape so easily.

It can only be said that Usopp's reputation as a god is well-deserved; he seized this opportunity and was destined to accomplish great things and make contributions.

"In that case, Orochi will have surrendered and fallen into our trap."

Link glanced back at Franky, who was comforting the people around him, and Luffy, who was rummaging through the rubble to check for any other ninjas.

Well, even Kurozumi Orochi lost three lives, not to mention the Oniwabanshu who aided and abetted the evildoers.

Although they didn't receive any special care, it's hard to imagine they could have survived such a brutal attack.

"In that case..."

Link gently closed his eyes, his Observation Haki filling the entire island.

In the Shimi area, Jinbe delivered a powerful straight punch to the main city's commander, Shinta, sending him flying.

In the White Dance Zone, Law and Brook joined forces to first seize Blade Port, eliminating the members of the Beasts Pirates there, and then wiped out the True Fighters there.

Luo ripped out all those hearts and casually tossed them aside, leaving them for the stray dogs that passed by to devour.

After the bell, Komako Onimaru sat calmly in front of the dilapidated shrine, his eyes filled with anticipation, waiting for the arrival of the person he longed for.

After the numerous prisoners were gathered and given a meal by Leopard Goro and the other four yakuza bosses, they tidied their belongings, ate their fill, and changed into clean clothes.

With the help of Kidd, Hawkins, and others, a fire burned the prison quarry to the ground, and then, led by Kawamatsu, they all headed towards Ringo.

In Jiuli, the area chief guarding Boro Town, the Lion-Giver's true fighter Holdem, also met his end at the hands of Ashura Doji.

With the help of Kin'emon, Raizo, and Inuarashi, they wiped out all the members of the Beast Pirates in the entire town of Boro.

Incidentally, within the city, they also encountered Kikunojo, another member of the Nine Red Scabbards, who had traveled through time with Kin'emon, Raizo, and Kanjuro. He hadn't gone to sea but stayed on the island to gather intelligence.

The five members of the Nine Red Scabbards have come together, though they have not yet officially raised the banner of the Kozuki family in the Nine Miles region.

However, they have already officially begun to recruit soldiers and gather the old samurai in the Kuri region who still have their hearts set on the Kozuki family, through methods such as painting.

"Everything has been settled now!!"

Link slowly opened his eyes again, his gaze calm and profound.

"And then there's the downfall of Orochi in the Flower Capital region..."
