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

Only when it got closer could one see that it was a newspaper-delivering gull carrying a large number of newspapers.

"Give all of these to me~"

Link flicked a gold coin at it, and the latter immediately beamed with joy, placing all the newspapers it had brought on the deck.

He even threw away the backpack containing the newspapers, leaving it as a free gift, and then happily left with the gold coin in his mouth.

Well, who wouldn't like a customer like that?!

(Zhao Zhaohao) There were plenty of newspapers on the deck of the Merry, so there was no need to worry about fighting over them.

After hearing Luffy's dream, everyone wanted to find a suitable way to express their slightly excited emotions.

The newspaper delivered to her door was just what she needed.

I just happened to take a look; this contains some relevant information.

Link flipped through the pages casually, and the first thing that caught his eye was some strange and unusual messages.

For example, Captain Eustace Kidd loudly announces that he possesses a brand-new Road Poneglyph rubbing, shouting that he's looking for the burned man's whereabouts...

Yes, such a high-profile approach is indeed very much in line with this guy's style.

761 A clash between a rooster's comb and a cabbage!! Just for laughs~

Especially after Luffy became one of the Four Emperors and stood at the pinnacle of the seas~

They were all from the same batch of students who went to sea, and they were all supernovas from the same cohort.

As a result, Luffy suddenly became one of the Four Emperors, and naturally, he was unwilling to fall behind others.

Therefore, he took what he thought was the right approach to assert his presence.

He's got ambitions for the Pirate King's throne, so he's not going to just sit idly by and let Luffy and the others outdo him!

However, the methods he is currently taking...

Yes, to use Robin and Nami's words, that would be the most fitting description:

"Is this guy an idiot?!"

In some ways, he is indeed quite a match for an idiot.

After reading the entire report, Link felt that the evaluation was entirely justified.

He shook his head and turned to the next page.

Then, another rather explosive piece of news was published in the newspaper.

Currently ranked No. 1 on the "Most Desirable Pirates to Disappear Real-Time Ranking," Bartolomeo, the "Man-Eating Demon" with a bounty of 154 million Berries, is basically considered a Supernova this year. He is engaged in a fierce battle with Cavendish, the former Shichibukai No. 780 and a noble pirate prince.

Well, the Seven Warlords system is now completely defunct.

The former Shichibukai, watching this dilapidated ship with hardly any nails left, resigned one after another.

That's how Cavendish avoided being ridiculed as a joke.

The result~~~

Some people actually treated him as a joke and made fun of him.

That person was Bartolomeo.

As this guy set sail, the series of crazy things he did attracted the attention of the Navy and many pirates.

Especially after Straw Hat Luffy became one of the Four Emperors, his popularity also surged.

After all, who told this guy to always claim to be a fan of the Straw Hat Pirates?!

Especially with him constantly calling him "Brother Link" and "Captain Straw Hat," who wouldn't know what kind of person he is?!

Even the Navy's intelligence department, in the first piece of information they analyzed about him, wrote:

“A fervent admirer of the Straw Hat Pirates (Acade).

Yes, it's not just their usual style and way of speaking, but it's reflected in every aspect of their lives.

For example~~~

Their most conspicuous pirate ship was constructed using key elements from Straw Hat, Merry's ram's head, and Chopper.

Rumor has it that Bartolomeo, with his rooster-like hairstyle, is planning to create a life-size model of Link to serve as the ship's prow.

However, it seems they felt that Link might not like this approach, so they regretfully abandoned this tempting idea.

It must be said that their idea was absolutely correct.

Otherwise, they would understand what it meant to receive the Thunder's care from Link, a senior figure.

Currently, Bartolomeo and his crew are making good progress on their voyage.

It is said that under the guidance of their peculiar navigators, the speed of their voyages was surprisingly fast.

We have now arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

Meanwhile, some pirates stationed on the Sabaody Archipelago were quite curious, wanting to know just how formidable their navigator was.

When we heard that whenever they encountered difficulties at sea, they would seek help from their grandmother back home.

Even the route of the voyage was chosen arbitrarily by Grandma.

This comes from Bartolomeo, and his deputy [missionary] Gambia, who speaks with an air of self-assurance and confidence.

Everyone fell silent.

This group of people are all unconventional; it's truly remarkable that they've gotten this far.

They were incredibly lucky to have survived, as their boat didn't capsize on the way.

As for why they got involved with Cavendish, and even fought with him...

The main problem is that later, Bartolomeo somehow learned that the Navy had sent a large army to besiege the Straw Hat Pirates in Wano Country.

They even rallied the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and Cavendish eagerly responded, joining them all.

Although the Marines and Cavendish were stopped by Whitebeard alone outside Wano Country.

But hearing his idol being treated like this, he naturally got furious and yelled.

Dealing with the Navy was his job as a pirate, so there's no need to elaborate.

And Cavendish, who answered the call...

Bartolomeo, of course, was not going to let it go so easily.

It's worth noting that he was ranked No. 1 on the "Most Desirable Pirates to Disappear Real-Time Ranking," and there's some truth to that.

He immediately contacted a media outlet and launched a furious attack on Cavendish, saying that his name, like the man himself, was easily mispronounced and mistaken.

This guy even deliberately mispronounced Cavendish's name as "cabbage."

Thus, driven by the media's desire to stir up trouble and grab attention, they even went so far as to embellish Bartolomeo's image.

When Cavendish saw the report, his crew said he was so angry his face contorted.

The flower he was holding in his mouth was chewed up and crushed.

Subsequently, the former Shichibukai immediately put aside all his disputes and went to find Bartolomeo.

Meanwhile, Bartolomeo and his group, after bombarding him, had already passed through Fishman Island and arrived in the New World via coated diving.

The two happened to run into each other on their way to Delta Island to attend the Pirate Expo.

As a result, enemies meeting are bound to be extremely hostile, and the two of them immediately started fighting over a single word.

Moreover, judging from their desperate and relentless fighting style, it was as if the other party was some irreconcilable enemy.

Although later reports did not cover what happened next, who won or lost, or what the casualties were.

But such news still made Link shake his head slightly.

762 Wang Zhi, who aspires to become the next world overlord, must be taught a lesson!

It's worth noting that in the original story, both of them were captains of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, and they developed a deep bond while fighting Gladius together.

It seems like they don't get along?

So, there must be a reason why they're fighting so fiercely right now?

That's okay~

Thinking this, Link quickly turned to the next page of the newspaper.

"Huh? What's this?!"

The newspaper clearly reported that a massive tsunami had occurred somewhere along the Grand Line, said to be no smaller than the "Water Gods" of the Seven Water Cities.

It submerged a nearby island called Baltigue.

"Bartigo, White Earth Island... Isn't this the island where the Revolutionary Army is based?!"

As Link looked at the entire report, along with the blurry photos, he gradually formed a general impression in his mind.

If he wasn't mistaken, the world king among the flowers of Mary Geoise in the Holy Land had probably made his move.

The methods she employs either involve a strange Devil Fruit ability or a national treasure belonging to the Celestial Dragons, possibly the existence of Uranus, the Heavenly King.

After all, it possesses the power to destroy an island in an instant, and it is located in the sky, hidden in the clouds.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be that third ancient weapon for which there is still no news.

"It seems that the turmoil and unrest caused by Sabo and Dragon's revolutionary army around the world has finally made this old lady unable to hold back any longer."

"Did he personally take action and choose to destroy the revolutionary army's base?"

"I don't know what the current situation of the Revolutionary Army is, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with me."

"As for Sabo, it seems many people say his Vivre Card is tied to Oda's; either they both live, or they both die~~~"

Yes, that could be considered the deepest "greeting" to him.

However, Link wasn't too worried about Sabo's situation.

According to the world view of One Piece, it is rare for important characters to die.

Even if he really dies, there will definitely be a grand ceremony to mark the occasion.

Instead of glossing over it in a simple and vague chapter~

Unless Oda really doesn't want to continue drawing...

Link shook his head, no longer paying attention to such news, and instead continued scrolling down.

Soon, we arrived at the current changes in the maritime landscape, as well as some extremely important details.

First and foremost, without a doubt, it was the Navy that took advantage of the opportunity presented by Charlotte Linlin and Kaido being defeated in Wano Country.

And the newly appointed general, Green Bull Aramaki, took advantage of the weak defenses to seize Whole Cake Island.

They began deploying the numerous naval bases stationed in the New World to launch attacks and wipe out the remaining forces of the Four Emperors from the old era.

For example, Charlotte Linlin's dessert islands, and the territories occupied by Kaido's subordinates.

These islands became history after the fall of the two major Yonko powers.

Although the navy did not have enough manpower to occupy and maintain these islands, it was still a significant achievement.

This is also a good option for people around the world to see.

But~~~

The navy had clearly forgotten the pain of the past, or rather, they felt that the two great emperors of the old era were no longer there.

They felt they could barge into this new world and show off their power.

Unfortunately, they forgot that what this new world has no shortage of is powerful pirates.

These pirates either live peacefully incognito, or they openly control their own territories, so much so that even the Four Emperors dare not easily provoke them.

Naoki, the world-renowned pirate king who was formerly under the command of the Rocks Pirates, was such a person.
