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

Mihawk naturally had no desire to stay on this dilapidated ship of the Seven Warlords of the Sea any longer.

Especially after experiencing the battle in Wano Country and learning about Aokiji's decision and other events.

He has also officially returned to his identity as a pirate.

He once again embarked on his journey across the seas as the "World's Greatest Swordsman."

"The Navy's assessment is that he is a swordsman whose swordsmanship surpasses that of the Four Emperors [Red-Haired Shanks], and his bounty is 3.59 billion Berries. This is the amount given to the world's strongest swordsman."

"More than 3.5 billion..."

Upon hearing the bounty amount, even Zoro fell silent for a moment.

The world's greatest swordsman, with a bounty comparable to that of one of the Four Emperors!

"It's only about ten million less than mine!!"

Luffy seemed to be speaking seriously there; anyone who didn't know better would think he was being serious.

But judging from that "3.6 billion" expression on his face, you can tell this guy is definitely showing off.

"Although Hawkeye Mihawk has openly withdrawn from the Seven Warlords of the Sea and no longer obeys the orders of the World Government and the Navy, he still intends to go to Delta Island, where the Cross Guild is located."

Link looked at the newspaper article and read it aloud word by word:

"It is said that he also wants to test the strength of Barrett, the current Yonko, a man who was once on par with Rayleigh, the Dark Lord."

Hawkeye himself is not interested in the Four Emperors; the only thing that can arouse his interest is fighting one powerful enemy after another.

"Another interesting thing is that [Hawkeye] Dracule Mihawk's original nickname was [Naval Hunter], which is quite similar to your [Pirate Hunter] nickname."

HUNTERxHUNTER, hunters and hunters, this is truly a dream collaboration.

Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, Zoro will go further and further down the path of a swordsman and obtain a brand new title to replace the so-called "Pirate Hunter".

Just like Hawkeye, he's following the same path!

"It seems that this pirate extravaganza, the Expo, is about to become even more exciting."

Jinbe, the fish-man, stroked his large fang with the sole of his hand, as if he had just realized something.

Yes, this is also a former Shichibukai. If he goes along, it will be a grand gathering of the Shichibukai, which is quite something!

"But all of that has nothing to do with us anymore."

Zoro gripped the famous sword at his waist. "Is everything ready for departure?"

He couldn't wait to return to the sea and hone his skills once again.

"That's right, that's right, it's time for us to set off!!"

The Yonko with a bounty of 3.6 billion were also there, raising their arms and shouting, "Go find Laugh Tale, find the greatest treasure, ONE PIECE!!"

Pirates' ultimate destination is always the sea.

Having already found four Road Poneglyphs, it's time for the Straw Hat Pirates to embark on their final voyage.

"Awoo, the cola and fuel are all replenished, and the Sunny is in top condition."

Shipwright Frankie is giving a report on his work.

"Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho, the theme song for setting sail and breaking through the waves is ready!!"

The musician Brooke strummed his guitar and roared with laughter.

"The entire historical text of the road signs has been deciphered, Captain!"

Archaeologist Robin smiled slightly.

"Ammunition is fully prepared, and the cannons are all tested and working perfectly!"

Sniper Usopp said with great enthusiasm.

"Me too! Me too!!"

The ship's doctor, Mr. Chopper, also wiggled his deer hooves, saying, "All the necessary medical supplies and materials are ready!!"

As he spoke, he lifted the [Doctor's Briefcase] that Link had given him behind him, exuding even more confidence!

"Ooooooooo!!"

Ah Niu, standing beside him, energetically raised his arm, demonstrating his excellent condition...

"The location of each landmark has been found on the nautical chart, and we can set off at any time!!"

Navigator Nami playfully gave Luffy an OK sign.

"Hi~ Miss Nami and Miss Robin are both ready! The loving and nutritious meal plan and ingredients I prepared for you are all ready!!!"

Chef Sanji was there, doing a wave dance, his eyes full of red hearts.

"Haha, I'm ready to take the helm at any time, always on standby."

Helmsman Jinbe also laughed heartily, blending into the atmosphere on the ship.

The swordsman Zoro didn't say much, but judging from his bright eyes and the smile on his lips, you could tell what he was thinking.

“Ah la la~”

Aokiji, who was a trainee crew member, was also deep in thought.

I wondered if I should say something too, but they were all doing their own jobs and talking about their responsibilities.

As an apprentice pirate, I have no clear position and no specific role on the ship.

The only thing that seems to be visible right now is making smoothies and ice cubes... a refrigerator, perhaps?!

"Just focus on providing your auxiliary support."

First mate Link, seeing Aokiji lost in thought, couldn't help but smile and say something.

"Now that we're on board, we're all partners. We'll find our place with our crew and our companions."

"Is that so?"

Aokiji nodded slightly. As a Marine Admiral, he still had a long way to go on his path as a pirate.

But as he was about to reach the open sea, he always managed to find a suitable place for himself.

The Straw Hat Pirates are finally ready to set sail.

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

734 Momonosuke Awakens!! I've returned to Wano Country?!

This seems to be telling a completely new legend~

"The island of ghosts is shrouded in darkness, with howling winds and torrential rain!!"

"The Azure Dragon roars, the wild beasts thrash!!"

"The fluttering red leaves stretch long, staining the port of Blade & Martial red!"

"The heroic and loyal retainers, determined to fulfill the unfinished ambitions of Kozuki Oden, are about to take the stage!!"

The largest stage in Wano Country was packed with people.

All those present cheered "Red Scabbard" from below, eagerly awaiting the storyteller on stage to draw back the curtain and continue recounting the adventures of the nation's regained freedom.

"I am of limited knowledge and talent, and I hope you will all forgive my ignorance and listen to my advice!"

The storyteller bowed slightly downwards, then his eyes brightened with excitement:

"It all started in the evening of the Fire Festival..."

And just as the storyteller was passionately and eloquently recounting this adventure story...

Inside a cozy room in the general's mansion in the Flower Capital.

In the quiet room, where a young figure lay on the bed, being cared for by a maid, slowly opened his eyes.

"Where am I?!"

The child, dressed in a pink kimono, stared blankly at the ceiling above her head, her hair shaved off on top and only tied up in a bun at the back of her head.

"I remember that I infiltrated that huge golden ship with Kin'emon and the others to gather information."

"After that, I was captured by those despicable guys on the ship, and then..."

My head hurts so much!!!

Seemingly recalling some very unpleasant memory, he immediately covered his large head with both hands, his face contorting in pain.

Just as he was about to wail...

Suddenly, the sound of conversation could be heard outside the room.

"Is the General not at the residence today?"

"Yes, I heard they're going to the stage to see the Legend of the Demon Island again."

"Really? I'd love to go see it too! I never get tired of hearing about it!"

“Me too!!”

The envious, hopeful laughter coming from outside the door brought the child back to reality.

At the same time, it also allowed him to capture two rather crucial words.

"General? Ghost Island?!"

The big-headed child's pupils suddenly contracted; he would never forget these words.

Because these all came from his hometown, his hometown that was under the control of the giant serpent and suffered immensely!

"How could they know all this...wait?!"

The big-headed boy suddenly looked around and realized that he was in a room filled with the style of his hometown.

These decorations and furnishings are clearly characteristic of houses found only in Wano Country!

And the tatami mat he was on, the quilt covering him, the paper sliding door...

All of this seems to be telling the big-headed child a fact:

"I have returned to Wano Country?!"

He instinctively clutched his head, looking utterly bewildered.

"Check it out, what on earth happened?!"

His eyes were filled with terror, and his body was trembling. "What happened while I was unconscious?!"

"Did Kin'emon and the others take me back to Wano Country?!"

"But now that they're back here, were they prepared?! And where are they?!"

The big-headed child was extremely eager to find a familiar figure.

But no matter how they looked, they couldn't find any trace of anyone else.

This made him increasingly fearful and uneasy.

At the same time, the conversation that the two people outside had just been talking about also came back to mind.

"The general is not at his residence, and the heroic legends of Onigashima... could it be?!"

Suddenly, an incredibly terrifying fact came to mind:

"I am currently inside the Shogun's residence in Wano Country?!"

"Who else but traitors like Kurozumi Orochi could possibly regard Kaido and his crew on Onigashima as heroes?!"

"Furthermore, Kin'emon and the others are not with me, which means..."

Multiple clues and pieces of information converged and intertwined, leading this big-headed child to a very surprising conclusion:

"We were captured by Kurozumi Orochi or Kaido's men in the open sea and then imprisoned?!"

His previous experiences led him to have paranoia and thus these thoughts.

The main thing was that before he lost consciousness, he vaguely heard Kin'emon and Raizo's desperate roars.

It easily gives him the feeling of facing danger and constantly struggling to survive.

"They actually got caught?!"
