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

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

706 Back to Fishman Island!! Goodbye Shirahoshi!! My All Blue!!!

Shirahoshi pressed down on the brim of the "One-Inch Hat" that Lord Link had given her.

I was afraid it would fall and cause its enormous size to recover, damaging some of the room's furnishings.

"It seems that Luffy and his crew's voyage is going very smoothly. I wonder when we'll be able to meet them again..."

Bai Xing's eyes were filled with both longing and a touch of sadness.

Because she knew that voyages on the open sea were often fraught with difficulties and the adventures usually took a long time.

Some pirates even spend their entire lives wandering the high seas.

"I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to see Lord Link and the others again..."

Shirahoshi gently stroked her pet shark, Mecaro, beside her and sighed.

"Kaka."

Mecca hummed twice, trying to comfort Shirahoshi.

But the next second, its shark eyes seemed to see something incredible, and it immediately froze on the spot, its gaze suddenly widening.

"You also want to see Lord Link and the others again, right, Mecaro?" 663

Shirahoshi drew circles on the body of the Mecaro shark with her fingers.

"If I could hear their voices again, if I could see them again, I think I would be happy for a long time..."

She was talking to herself, completely unaware that her pet shark had stopped moving.

Until~~~

"Kakakaka!!"

Meccalo wagged its tail frantically in unease, pulling Shirahoshi out of her reverie.

"What's wrong, Mecca?"

Bai Xing was initially curious about her pet's unusual behavior, then suddenly realized:

"You also really want to see Lord Link again, don't you?!"

Meccalo: "Click click click!!!"

“I know exactly how you feel, because I feel the same way.”

"Crack crack crack crack!!!!"

"Sigh, but what can we do? Father also said that you can't stop a man from heading to the sea. All we can do here is offer our blessings to Lord Link and the others."

"Crack crack crack crack crack!!!!"

Meccalo wagged its tail frantically, staring at the large, round hole that had suddenly appeared in the wall, its face filled with terror and a look of utter despair.

My mermaid princess, can't you just turn around and take a proper look?!

Or rather, could you please pay attention to my current shouting and tone of voice?!

Mecca was practically in tears; we might be in serious trouble right now!

If it weren't incapable of speaking, it would at least have made its oblivious and utterly unaware owner feel the harshness of reality.

Meccalo was very agitated, but Shirahoshi was completely unaware of its abnormality.

Until~

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

A series of footsteps suddenly echoed in the room.

"Huh? What's that sound?"

Bai Xing then realized something was wrong and turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.

I saw it~~~

"Huh?! When did a huge hole appear here?!"

His young face froze, filled with shock.

"Kakaka~"

Mecca couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad.

You've finally realized something's wrong, but isn't it a little too late?!

"Should we inform Father immediately...?"

Just as Shirahoshi realized the seriousness of the problem, her face gradually became conflicted.

Suddenly, the noise and voices coming from inside made her pause slightly, and then her eyes lit up.

"This voice is..."

"How much further do we have to go before we reach the end? Link, I'm hungry."

"You bastard, didn't you just say you were going to eat before you said goodbye to Ace and the others?!"

"But I'm hungry again, Usopp! And isn't there a saying that a person should eat at least five meals a day?"

"What kind of proverb is this? Besides, you probably just made it up yourself!"

The voices coming from inside, along with that familiar tone, made Bai Xing's eyes grow brighter and brighter.

Until~

"Ah, I see light!!"

Accompanied by cheerful shouts, a series of hurried footsteps came, and feet wearing wooden clogs emerged from the hole.

Then, that familiar figure came into view.

"Lord Luffy!!"

Bai Xing immediately shouted excitedly.

It actually happened!!

The figures he had longed for day and night had actually appeared beside him.

Could it be that my own expectations moved the heavens, and they specially helped me fulfill this wish?!

Or is there something wrong with my eyes? Or am I just too excited and missing you so much that I'm seeing people wrong?!

But after she rubbed her eyes and realized that she really hadn't misread it.

"It really is you guys!!"

Seeing Link emerge from the cave, Shirahoshi could no longer contain herself and ran over with a cheer.

Only Mecaro, a shark, remained frozen in place.

It turns out all my worries were for nothing; the clown was just me!

"Oh, it's Cowardly Star!!"

When Luffy saw the figure rushing towards him, he simply raised his hand and casually greeted it as if nothing had happened.

But soon, he blinked and immediately realized what was going on.

"If you say so..."

Usopp, who was following behind, also stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Here is..."

"Fishman Island!!!"

Sanji immediately transformed into wave-like thighs and dashed forward.

"My ideal AllBlue!!!"

His eyes once again turned into burning red hearts.

"Oh my, I've actually traveled all the way from Wano Country to this Fishman Island."

Aokiji also surveyed the surroundings, "It seems this is some kind of palace or similar building."

"That's right, this is Dragon Palace Castle."

Jinbe stepped in with a look of emotion, saying, "I never expected to return here in this way."

"The wine on Fishman Island is quite good."

Zoro stroked his chin, a look of interest in his eyes.

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

707 [Space Tunnel Bug], congratulations on becoming one of the new Four Emperors of this sea!

"Yohohohoho, the mermaid girls at the cabaret are the best too!!"

"Wow, their cola and other drinks taste really unique!!"

Both Brook and Franky are shifting towards a state of excitement in their words and actions.

Yes, for any man, Fishman Island is a paradise where once you come, you never want to leave.

The fact that they were able to return here again was truly exciting for them.

"Fishman Island? Perfect. I wonder if Papagu has designed any other new outfits. If so, I can take a few more to change into."

Nami's eyes lit up, and she planned to change into a few more clothes and find some good deals.

Well, Papagu might be crying his eyes out in the bathroom.

"That is to say..."

Robin looked around. "Could this fourth Road Poneglyph be located on Fish-Man Island?!"

She had been to the Sea Forest before and knew that there was a historical inscription there, but it was just an ordinary blue stone tablet.

Moreover, it did not contain any historical records, but rather a letter of repentance from Joy Boy.

However, the original historical text of the road sign was not found.

However, I heard from King Neptune here that there was originally a road sign with historical inscription.

It laid the foundation for the Roger Pirates' final voyage, but later disappeared without a trace.

"Is it possible to retrieve the original text of that red road sign?!"

Robin looked at the vice-captain beside her, who then went to greet the approaching mermaid princess.

"It's been a long time, Shirahoshi."

Link greeted him with a smile.

Well, although it's said to be a long time, it's actually only been a few months.

"Yes, I miss you all so much, Link-sama, Luffy-sama!!"

But for Bai Xing, whose longing is like a river and whose days feel like years, even the shortest time feels incredibly long.

"You're back, does that mean your adventures are over?!"

Shirahoshi's eyes sparkled with excitement as she asked expectantly.

“Of course not!!”

Luffy put his hands behind his head and grinned, "Our journey is at a crucial moment!!"

"That you……"

Bai Xing was somewhat puzzled and confused.

"Because there are some things I need to talk to your father about."

Link smiled gently.

"That's it..."
