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

This renewed war has no other outcome!

Sakazuki is determined to wage war and reshape the world order and the prestige of the navy!

The Navy has been silent for too long; it's time to make its voice heard again.

Pirates, all they can do is wait to be wiped out!!

"Yes!!"

Upon hearing Akainu's instructions, Tianqing immediately gave a military salute and responded earnestly.

Thus, Sakazuki issued one transfer order after another.

The behemoth that was the navy was instantly mobilized.

Soon, news of the investiture ceremony for the new general, Aramaki, and the designation of him as "Green Bull" spread throughout the world.

This was so that everyone at sea knew that the navy had taken corresponding countermeasures.

703

Meanwhile, at the medal awarding ceremony, Admiral Sakazuki personally announced the upcoming campaign against the Cross Guild.

Although the specific troop strength and personnel were not disclosed, the leader sent out still greatly excited the navy.

This also surprised and shocked the reporters who came to observe and gather information.

Former Fleet Admiral and current Grand Inspector Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp, the new Admiral Aramaki, and veteran Admiral Borsalino...

This lineup is almost comparable to the top-tier combat power of the Marineford War!

Now, let's hunt down a new Yonko organization, the Cross Guild...

Clearly, the Navy intends to make an example of them, to declare to the world that they remain the most powerful organization on this high seas!

Regarding the navy's actions, various parties have offered completely different opinions and made various preparations.

For example, the revolutionary army, taking advantage of the navy's troop movements, engaged in even more clandestine activities.

As for the pirates, Whitebeard is currently contentedly farming on his home island.

725 You strange guy who lost the bet, the day I can once again crush the sea with my fists isn't far off!!

He was completely unconcerned about the actions of the Cross Guild and the deployments of the Navy.

There's a sense of nonchalant indifference to the situation, like "do whatever you want, as long as you don't bother me."

However, given the Navy's public execution of Ace, if the Navy's side were to decline...

The Whitebeard Pirates don't mind settling both old and new scores together.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, the Cross Guild is one of the parties involved.

"So many navy soldiers are coming to attack us?! We're doomed, we're going to die!! We're going to die!!"

Inside the conference room, the great god Baki, whose split hands held his head, floated back and forth in the room.

"It's actually the permanent pointer to Laugh Tale..."

Behind the desk, in the boss's chair, Crocodile had a cigar in his mouth and his hand was constantly stroking his gold hook.

To conceal his rather unsettled heart, and those eyes that hid a burning fire within.

His sights have always been set on One Piece; he previously wanted to use the power of [Pluto] to re-enter the New World.

But now, it seems that without resorting to force, a broad road is unfolding before us once again.

As long as he obtains this pointer, he can still achieve his goal even without collecting the four road sign history texts.

Become the Pirate King and obtain the legendary treasure, ONE PIECE...

"Galah ha ha ha ha, this really is the world's largest treasure!!!"

On the sofa, the treasure hunter, Mad Torega, whose body was bound in chains, was laughing wildly, almost unrestrainedly.

"Nothing can be considered the world's greatest treasure more than the legendary One Piece!"

"And that Log Pose leading to Laugh Tale is the best treasure map in the world! 々～!"

This man has few hobbies and is uninterested in everything, yet he has an absolute pursuit of treasures.

After learning about the One Piece and the permanent pointer, he remained ecstatic, his face still flushed with excitement.

"It's so noisy..."

In the corner, Edward Weebuhr sat cross-legged on the ground like an honest child.

He wiped the snot from his nose and, thinking he was being discreet, asked his mother, Miss Ba Jin, beside him:

"Can I tear his mouth apart, Mom?"

"Don't worry, my dearest child!!"

Miss Ba Jin, adorned with jewels, now had eyes gleaming with the light of wealth.

Now, her mind is completely consumed by things like the [Great Treasure] and the [Permanent Pointer].

"Right now, they can barely be considered our partners. We can talk about other things after we get the Pirate King's treasure, the greatest treasure in the world!"

No pirate can resist the allure of the world's greatest treasure and the throne of the Pirate King.

Even Miss Bakkin, who was once on the Rocks Pirates' ship, is no exception!!!

Even after Whitebeard's death, she was capable of instigating her foolish son to attack Whitebeard's other fleet commanders in an attempt to obtain the Whitebeard Pirates' treasure.

And now, an even greater treasure and the method to obtain it are right in front of her.

How could she possibly remain unmoved?!

"Is this so..."

Edward Weebull nodded, seemingly understanding, though he didn't quite grasp it himself.

Anyway, he'll just do whatever his mother says.

"Mom~"

"Is there anything else?!"

"I am hungry."

"...Didn't you just eat?!"

“I’m not full.”

"You're just like a pig!!"

The disdain in Miss Ba Jin's eyes was not concealed at all.

It can be said that this news spread among the current high-ranking members of the Cross Guild, along with the permanent pointer of Laugh Tale.

They were also caught in an extremely delicate atmosphere and state.

Besides, Pakistan was feeling uneasy about the upcoming naval raids.

The others, however, didn't consider the navy at all; they were completely focused on the One Piece.

The Cross Guild, forcibly assembled by Barrett, was already showing signs of disintegration and undercurrents.

However, Barrett himself didn't care at all, or rather, when he formed the Cross Guild, he never expected that this group of scheming guys would be of much help to him.

The only person he trusted was himself.

On the contrary, Barrett was genuinely pleased that the Navy had deployed such a large force.

"Come on, everyone come on!!"

A murderous urge surged within him as Barrett gazed at the blood-red setting sun, a deep grin spreading across his face.

"The day I can once again crush the sea with my fists isn't far off!!"

"The entire ocean has been mobilized! The Pirate Expo is finally almost here!!"

The surging waves on the sea outside seemed to herald the arrival of another violent era.

Meanwhile, in Wano Country of the New World, there is a sense of prosperity and tranquility.

Freed from Kaido's domination and enslavement, the entire country once again took on a completely new look.

On the back of Mount Teng, the fish-men gradually adapted to the geographical environment and living conditions.

Every fisherman feels the deepest gratitude for life and those who helped them, because (Zhao Hao) is able to bask in the sunlight and stand firmly on the ground.

As for the people they are grateful to, they are already preparing to set sail.

However, just as they were preparing to set sail for their next destination, the arrival of an uninvited guest caused another delay.

"Straw Hat Master!!"

At the general's residence, the yakuza underlings of the Kyoshiro family came to pay their respects.

It was called a visit, but in reality, it was to inform someone of something.

"There was a very, very strange guy who gambled in our casino. After he lost everything, we asked him for his money back, but he didn't have any. However, he claimed that he knew the Straw Hat Pirates."

~~~~~~~~~

[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!!]

The blind swordsman, Yixiao, arrived on July 726th! He came to fulfill his bet and keep his promise!

The tall henchman was gesturing at Luffy, who looked puzzled.

"His attire makes him seem like a wandering knight, but he also seems to be from the outer sea, so we didn't dare to be careless and came here specifically to ask you, Straw Hat Lord."

The short, chubby henchman beside him nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that strange guy doesn't look like an ordinary person either."

"He leaned on a wooden sword, wore wooden clogs, and had scars on his face. His most obvious feature was that he was blind..."

Dressed as a wandering swordsman, leaning on a wooden sword and wearing wooden clogs, he loves gambling but loses everything, and he's also blind.

All these characteristics combined make its features incredibly clear!

"Is that Uncle Yixiao?!"

Luffy's eyes immediately lit up.

"It's been so long! Has he come to Wano Country too?!"

"Where is he now? Take me there quickly!!"

"Uh……"

Seeing Luffy's excited and impatient look, the tall guy and the short, fat guy exchanged a glance.

At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, they didn't do anything to that blind swordsman; it seems he really does know the Straw Hat crew.

Without being hasty, 703 proceeded with caution; indeed, it's always better to be cautious in everything.

The two of them were thinking to themselves, but they also spoke honestly:

“Before we arrived, he said he was hungry and wanted to have a bowl of noodles, so we had someone make him a bowl of ramen.”

"He should still be in our casino right now, eating ramen."

"Hahaha, ramen?! That's definitely Uncle Ichisho's taste!!"

Luffy laughed loudly and walked out with his arms outstretched.

Hearing the commotion, the other Straw Hat Pirates members also came out one after another.

"Hey, has Uncle Issho arrived in Wano Country?!"

Chopper, clinging to Zoro's head, was quite surprised upon hearing the news.

"I didn't expect that you would come all the way from the Sabaody Archipelago to the New World, specifically to find us. You must have something to do with it, right?"

Nami also missed the uncle who had taught them for quite some time.

"Ah, maybe they came here just to fulfill their bet!"

Usopp seemed to remember something and immediately said excitedly.

"The bet... Ah, right, I remember now!!"

Nami and Chopper realized this almost simultaneously.
