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

Enjoy the joy to the fullest and write their own unrestrained legends.

"Pirates, they really are a jubilant bunch!!"

Countless people who redefine the concept of pirates expressed heartfelt emotion and genuine joy there:

"Such a grand banquet is the first I've ever seen!"

"I've never even heard of it!!!"

Countless people cheered, releasing all their physical strength, energy, and emotions in that moment.

But just outside the hustle and bustle of this capital city, on the outskirts of the City of Flowers, beside a clear stream on a high slope.

A table, chairs, and backrests, carved from ice, stood tall, and two leisurely figures leaned against them.

They gazed silently at the brightly lit and dazzling Flower City not far away.

“Ah la la~”

Aokiji adjusted his sunglasses. "It's quite lively here."

The joyful laughter and chatter from within the capital city could be heard even from their side, which showed just how lively it was inside.

"A nice banquet!"

On the chair next to him, Hawkeye Mihawk picked up a wine glass from the table and took a small sip of the equally fine wine.

"A fine wine."

He nodded slightly. "Whether it's the freezing temperature or the quality and taste of the wine, it's just right."

"I specially took this from the Shogun's residence in Wano Country~"

A flash of lightning followed, and Link stepped into the arena.

684 [Red Emperor] Sabo!! Burning! The sparks of rebellion from all corners of the world ignite a revolutionary wave sweeping across the globe!!

"This is a fine wine that has been fermented for a full eighteen years and is made from the best grapes."

"It is said that the former general Kurozumi Orochi originally intended to offer it to Kaido, but it was left to us instead."

Link raised his hand, and a series of exquisite dishes were taken out from his four-dimensional treasure bag and placed on the ice table that had spread out.

"Fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful scenery!"

Hawkeye surveyed the scene before him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"It seems that my decision not to leave earlier was a correct one."

The reason he didn't leave beforehand was that he had anticipated the turmoil and upheaval that might occur outside after this battle ended.

The times could even spiral out of control, with countless troubles and chaos ensuing.

Rather than adding fuel to the fire now and escalating the already tense maritime situation to an even greater level, it would be better to...

It would be better to temporarily escape the hustle and bustle outside and quietly enjoy this rare period of peace on this closed-off island.

It's not too late to go out and wander around after the temperature outside cools down and stabilizes.

Anyway, this country, which is known as the land of samurai, has some good things to offer and is worth visiting.

"The turmoil in the ocean outside is unlikely to stop anytime soon."

Link also roughly understood Hawkeye's thoughts, even though Hawkeye was a guy so bored that he would randomly cut down pirates from all over the world.

But he is also a farmer who can work under the sun wearing a straw hat and with baboons by his side.

　20 This is a guy who doesn't like being in a commotion, noisy, or disturbed.

"The current situation is quite chaotic, apart from the unrest caused by the pirate faction in the New World."

As Link spoke, he found an ice chair and sat down, while taking out a newspaper and tossing it to the two of them.

Yes, ice is definitely more comfortable, otherwise it would be unbearably hot in this weather.

"this is……"

Hawkeye looked at the flipped-up panel and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Revolutionary Army?!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean.

Formerly the G1 base in the New World, now the Marine Headquarters.

Inside the base, the naval personnel were overwhelmed and frantic with the influx of intelligence.

"We can no longer let the revolutionary army run rampant!!"

"If they continue to act so recklessly, the consequences will be unimaginable!!!"

Inside the naval admiral's office, a calm and serious voice reported on the chaotic situation outside.

"Of course I know that!"

Amidst the wisps of smoke, the unshaven figure of Akainu could be seen sitting in an office chair.

"But the navy is indeed not capable of deploying enough troops right now."

Sakazuki, who used to be so disciplined as to almost never smoke in order to maintain his calm and meticulous thinking, now had his ashtray filled with cigars.

"The spread of revolutionary ideas is now impossible to suppress."

"The beliefs they promote have a strong market around the world, and many countries have begun to follow them."

"This idea has even spread to our navy, and many naval soldiers admire it."

"Even some naval officers admired it and felt that practicing their own sense of justice was not at all in conflict with adhering to this ideology."

"They also believe that this ideology enables them to better uphold justice, and some who are not firm in their stance have already adopted this ideology as their belief and dogma!"

"If this continues, the navy will become the navy of the revolutionary army!!"

"We can't let this continue any longer, Sakazuki!!"

At this moment, the guy who kept emphasizing the seriousness of the problem became increasingly agitated, and eventually even shouted out Fleet Admiral Akainu's real name.

"He was just a revolutionary soldier, but now, that guy has become a hero all over the world!!"

"The world calls him..."

"【Red Emperor】Sabo!!"

The figure's tone became even more solemn:

"And the Nefertari clan of Alabasta!!"

"They are the descendants of the original twenty kings who founded the World Government eight hundred years ago! They are also the only superpower among the descendants to participate in the World Conference and become a member of the World Government."

With his mohawk, black-rimmed glasses, black suit, and navy-style hair, the head of the Naval Crime Investigation Bureau, Tianqing, the "dark horse," maintained his characteristically high-spirited tone:

"And now, this royal family and that nation have openly declared that they will follow the ideals and beliefs promoted by the revolutionary army and change the country's system according to this ideology!!"

"This has extremely important significance for the revolutionary army, and even for the entire world!!"

As he spoke, on the Marshal's desk, a newspaper that had been circulated worldwide prominently featured this Alabasta support campaign on its front page!

The photos of the two "protagonists," Sabo and King Neferutali Cobra, have thus become known to the world.

Just hours before this news came, in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, the "Land of the Gods" inhabited by the Celestial Dragons.

Aside from Sabo, the other Revolutionary Army division commanders formed Revolutionary Army action squads.

This also meant completely destroying the emblem symbolizing the world's nobility, the "Celestial Dragon's Hoof," as a declaration of war against the Celestial Dragons!

At that time, Admiral Kizaru, who was in the holy land of the Navy, led the Navy to capture him.

It turns out that there were also members of the Revolutionary Army lurking in the Holy Land, seemingly using their abilities of knocking people away and teleportation to help them escape their predicament.

This allowed everyone to escape unscathed.

"In a place like the Land of the Gods, with the Celestial Dragons residing there, it's difficult to act freely."

Inside the office, Kizaru sat on a sofa, casually clipping his nails, and said nonchalantly.

Stop making excuses!

Akainu glanced at the other person expressionlessly. How could he not know the other person's personality, given his long-time colleague?!

It's nothing more than showing up but not putting in the effort.

What's more~

Those who need to lend a hand are still those Celestial Dragons and world nobles...

Of course, some Navy personnel whispered that Kizaru might be a Revolutionary Army spy... but it's best to just ignore such jokes.

"I hope nothing untoward has happened in Mary Geoise?!"

Sakazuki Akainu glanced at [Dark Horse] Tianqing again and asked.

"Ah, we're still tracking down various things."

He adjusted his glasses. "The matter of the Revolutionary Army's failed assassination attempt on Don Quixote and the Celestial Dragons is also being resolved."

"It seems that one of the parties involved in this incident, Musjarud Saint, also played some disreputable role in it, and was vaguely involved in helping the revolutionary army squad."

"However, during the trial in the Land of Gods, the Knights of God suddenly intervened."

"Therefore, things have become more complicated."

Let them be.

Sakazuki stubbed out a cigarette butt and then lit another cigar for himself.

"Alabasta seems to be developing into another Revolutionary Army base, doesn't it?!"

"Yes, with 630 as such a propaganda role model and excellent example, the Revolutionary Army will naturally not let it go."

[Dark Horse] Tian Qing nodded, "There are rumors that this series of events was secretly planned by Sabo."

"The 'Eight-Nation Revolution' launched in various countries a few days ago seems to have targeted sensitive moments in each country when they are in turmoil due to the spread of ideas."

"Sparks of rebellion began to ignite almost simultaneously in various parts of the world..."

At this point, Tian Qing, the "dark horse," paused.

"Those nations that subscribe to the revolutionary army's ideology and have successfully rebelled seem to worship Sabo like a god!!"

Just as [Dark Horse] Tianqing was reporting all this to Akainu Sakazuki...

That free will to resist the oppression of the Celestial Dragons is spreading like wildfire across the entire ocean.

In the central square of a certain country, on a high platform, people hung Sabo's picture in the most prominent position in the entire square.

Countless people stood there, raising their swords and weapons, their faces beaming with fanatical and worshipful smiles.

"Lord Red Emperor!! Lord Red Emperor!!"

Countless people who are convinced, admired, and follow the ideology of communism regard Sabo, who spread it, as a guiding light on their life's journey.

With their fervent spirit and overwhelming emotions, they inspire every indomitable soul around them, leading them to express their most ardent worship and devotion to Sabo, and to join together in this sweeping red wave that is engulfing the world!

Currently, in every corner of the world, Chief of Staff [Red Emperor] Sabo's popularity has surpassed that of Revolutionary Army Commander-in-Chief Monkey D. Dragon, and his influence is far greater!

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

685 Fatalism! The withdrawal of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!! What a coincidence, it's simply too much of a coincidence…

Meanwhile, his younger brother, Straw Hat Luffy, has also become one of the Four Emperors!

In the Marshal's office, Kizaru put down his nail clippers and glanced at another urgent world newspaper on the desk.

"How terrifying! Those two brothers are monsters!"

The front page of the newspaper prominently featured Luffy and Link, whose Straw Hat Pirates had defeated Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin of the Big Mom, the two emperors of the old seas, and become the kings of the new era.

And the new list of Sea Emperors still includes Edward Newgate, the strongest man in the world among the Four Emperors [Whitebeard].

The world's most powerful and domineering man, Shanks, and the strongest king of the new era, Monkey D. Luffy.

as well as……

"The world of pirates is just like ours!!!"

On the huge platform in the square, a man wearing a scarf printed with the word "revolution" was shouting incessantly down through a megaphone:

"The Red Emperor's younger brother has destroyed the corrupt old order of the pirates!!"
