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

"Yes, this is another Homie that I pulled out from Charlotte Linlin when I was sealing her away."

Link placed his hands behind his head and said casually:

“I just happen to think that your Weather Stick would be a good match for these weather-related Homies.”

"Since I found it, I brought it back so you can see if it suits your needs."

3.4 "Who knows, you might just be the next Weather Queen!"

Link chuckled and joked casually.

"Tch, don't think I'm satisfied just because you gave me something like this!!"

Nami's lips curled slightly as she quickly put away the white cloud-like Homie, a happy smile on her face.

“You were clearly quite satisfied…”

Usopp, Chopper, and Luffy, who were standing nearby, all tilted their heads.

754 A gift for Robin! You call this...cute?!

Nami's behavior clearly shows that she is not being honest.

However~~~

Compared to Nami's happiness, Robin's expression was slightly more subtle.

"First Mate~"

Robin smiled and looked at Link, "Nami got a gift too, that's great, I'm so envious."

Well, the implication behind these words might not be clear to others, and they might not take it seriously, but to Link, it was a completely different story.

"Of course, yours is included too~"

Link would never do something that shows favoritism.

Immediately, he snapped his fingers, and another strange object appeared out of thin air in the arena.

"This is a nice doll that I made myself. I don't know if you'll like it~"

It was something with a very peculiar appearance, resembling either an animal or some other strange creature.

Moreover, its appearance is somewhat crooked and distorted, as if it were presented by the artistic smoke of an Art Fruit user.

"What is this?!"

Franky couldn't see anything appealing about this thing. "It doesn't look fast at all!"

It’s just~

"so cute!!"

Robin's pupils trembled, as if various stars were floating in his eyes.

Even her left and right cheeks had a touch of blush on them.

It's clear that she was genuinely captivated by the doll-like creature she had created.

Franky: "???"

You call this thing...cute?!

He looked at Robin, who was there and seemed quite fond of her, with a series of question marks appearing above his head.

A feeling welled up inside me, as if I were meeting her for the first time.

So this is the real Robin!

Yes, as we all know, Robin has experienced too many trials and tribulations since childhood.

This caused her to have different preferences and thoughts than normal people.

For example, when guessing about things, people tend to assume the worst and most tragic scenarios.

And they have a fondness for strange and unusual creatures that are incomprehensible to most people.

Just like in the original version, I found Kanjuro's strange dragons and other things quite adorable.

Link, who had a perfect grasp of Robin's aesthetic sense, naturally didn't miss the right opportunity.

Based on what Kanjuro had drawn in his mind, and which was quite similar, he made this doll for Robin.

Well, to be honest, this might be the first gift Robin has ever received.

Seeing her hold it so tenderly, Link sighed inwardly.

"Alright, now we can finally set sail, right?!"

Zoro, who was lying on the ground in the corner with his hands covering his head, asked with one eye half-open.

"Is everything settled, Link?"

Zoro was also recalling Link's actions earlier.

"I remember you also went to Udon to find the remaining members of the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates who were still imprisoned, right?"

"Yes, I went to talk to them about some things."

Link smiled faintly, as if everything was under his control:

"Everything has been agreed upon."

~~~~~~~~~

And so, a few more days passed.

Wano Country has completely gotten back on track, and the streets are thriving everywhere.

This country has been revitalized.

You can tell all this from the children's joyful play and the adults' beaming smiles.

In her room, Hiyori Kozuki was constantly reviewing the reports sent from various places.

The pipa and guzheng that I had been practicing so hard for were all put aside.

Now that she has become a "general," this title is not only an honor for her, but also a heavy responsibility.

Protecting this country and safeguarding the joy of everyone is the general's heavy responsibility.

Especially when his father and brother were both absent...

Thinking of this, Hiyori paused slightly as she wrote, then began reviewing the reports even faster.

For the sake of Wano Country, for the sake of the island's inhabitants, and for the honor of the Kozuki family, she must become stronger!

Let's keep going, even for my brother who's already gone missing!

Thinking this, her gaze became even more determined.

Da da da.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from the doorway.

"Are they all gone?"

Without even looking up, Kogetsu no Hikari knew who had come.

She recognized those footsteps all too well.

"Hmm~"

Denjiro, who had just entered, nodded. "The Straw Hat crew has already headed to the port and is preparing to officially leave."

"Is that so?"

Hiyori Kozuki paused for a moment, then continued wielding her brush.

"Although it was a bit sudden, I said goodbye to everyone this morning and then left."

"But even the lower class should have expected this situation, after all, pirates are not a group that stays in one place all the time."

Hiyori Kozuki smiled. "But this way of greeting is really quite unique."

"As expected of Lord Luffy, this is something he is capable of doing."

"Although the adults in the Straw Hat Pirates often do things that are unexpected, they have already made us aware of this kind of thing."

Denjiro smiled and reassured him, "It's much better than them leaving without a word, without even saying goodbye."

"I knew that, so I wasn't surprised, but I felt a little melancholy."

Kozuki Hiyori sighed.

"I did not contribute anything during the liberation of Wano Country, yet I was appointed shogun for no reason."

"The Straw Hat Pirates risked their lives to fight Kaido, but I was unable to do anything for them."

"Compared to these two, I am truly ashamed."

By the end, his words had become tinged with a sense of loss and desolation.

~~~~~~~~~

[A heartfelt thank you once again to the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for the countless generous donations! I am truly grateful!]

755 has finally set sail!! The legend of the heroes will live on!! The Mountain God and the Sow~

"Since we were unable to provide assistance during the battle with Kaido and his crew, we must do everything we are supposed to do after the battle!"

Denjiro chuckled, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented firmness and brightness.

"Yeah~"

Hiyori Kozuki chuckled softly.

She slowly rose from her seat and strolled outside the general's residence.

I looked up and saw it.

Under the bright and scorching sunlight, a black and white pirate skull flag fluttered freely in the sky.

"Shall we hang this in Wano Country?"

"If any dangerous guys come in the future, just show them this!"

"Tell them that if they dare to attack my territory, they're going against us!!"

Above the sky, the giant Straw Hat Pirates skull and crossbones flag fluttered in the wind.

In a daze, one could also catch a glimpse of that group of people.

And the immense, trustworthy power possessed by that group of people!

Even across the ocean, they still protect this land!

"We are also Luffy's comrades!"

Kozuki Hiyori gazed at the flag and murmured to herself.

"If one day in the future you decide to become pirates~"

"I can come pick you up anytime!!"

These were Luffy's last words, echoing in everyone's ears.

Without realizing it, besides Hiyori and Denjiro.

Kin'emon, Raizo, and the others also arrived here quietly.

At the same time, their eyes were fixed on that flag.

Subtly, many tears flowed from their eyes.

"Really, I'm so grateful! 々～!"

Outside, the crowds walking on the streets of the Flower Capital were also looking at the flag on the largest cherry blossom tree.

They all wore knowing smiles.

They want to pass on this flag, and the stories of the heroes behind it, from generation to generation.

Even if this story is heard countless times, even if this story continues to be told countless times.
