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

"No one can take this away from me!!!"

The two of them were acting like lunatics, or like guys who had escaped from an asylum.

They had clearly already considered Ravdru to be theirs for the taking.

"嘁~~~"

Crocodile merely glanced at the two men, then scoffed dismissively before turning his gaze away with disdain.

"Now, almost all the powerful pirates in the world have come to our area."

"And even the Navy won't stand idly by in this situation."

"Now, let's see if they have the strength to resolve all of this, Barrett..."

boom! ! !

Before Crocodile could finish his thought, he heard an extremely loud explosion coming from the island not far away.

The violent commotion and noise caused their room to tremble.

Before they could all react, a domineering and unparalleled loud laugh resounded throughout the entire island:

"You come in here wanting me to hand over the Log Pose to Laugh Tale right off the bat, and you're still acting all high and mighty?!"

The familiar tone of voice rang out, and everyone immediately recognized it as belonging to the newly appointed Four Emperors, the founder of the Cross Guild, and the Devil's Heir, Douglas Barrett!

"Who do you think you are, trying to put on airs about being an old pirate and having the seniority of a veteran pirate in front of me?!"

"Your old face isn't as valuable as you think!"

"Even if you want to show off in front of me, at the very least, you should demonstrate your own strength, Wang Zhi!!!"

That final roar, shouting out the opponent's name, also revealed to everyone who Douglas Barrett was currently fighting—the guy causing all the commotion (the one with the money)!

"I remember……"

Ba Jin, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow slightly:

“Wang Zhi, who came from Beehive Island, just arrived on the island today.”

"I didn't expect them to come knocking so quickly, and even cause a dispute?!"

"However... the rules..."

Crocodile picked up the conversation, speaking casually:

"The gap is a bit too obvious."

Within his perception aided by Observation Haki, he could sense the battle situation on the island.

It's obvious that one side is completely dominating the other.

It could even be described as a brutal beating and crushing!

The other side was completely powerless to fight back!

[Thank you so much to the generous user 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch'! You've been giving me tips almost every day, and there's one again today. I'm so grateful!!]

781 The celebration is about to begin!! Wang Zhi is easily crushed!! Barrett's anticipation!

"Hahaha, you're nothing but a remnant of the old era. Who do you think you are?!"

"No, trash like you doesn't even qualify as a remnant of the Party; at best, you're just a wisp of dirty dust left over from an era, leaving no trace whatsoever!!!"

"They're all getting on in years, wouldn't it be better for them to retire peacefully by the sea?! Why do they have to come here and cause such a commotion?!"

"Do you think this is still the era ruled by Lox Giebeck?! He's long since buried in the Valley of the Gods!!"

"Even though I'm a latecomer, I'm still a member of the Roger Pirates. Against your Rocks Pirates, I'm still the victor!!"

"Don't try to act superior here, it's disgusting!"

"Decades ago, you should have perished on that island with your captain, instead of living like a stray dog, barely clinging to life and utterly useless!!"

"Just stay within your own little territory, instead of dreaming of becoming a king? Are you stuck in the era of Rocks for too long, or are you just getting old and your mind isn't quite clear anymore?!"

"You really look terrible, Wang Zhi! Look at yourself now, you're nowhere near the form of a great pirate!"

"Since you're too old to withstand the ravages of the sea, then disappear from the ocean as soon as possible!!"

"Even your captain died such a tragic death, let alone a spineless old man like you."

"So, let me sink into the depths of the sea!!!"

The tone outside suddenly rose, accompanied by Barrett's loud roar, followed by a powerful surge of domineering energy.

Then, very quickly, a tremendous explosion and tremor erupted outside, and then...

And then everything quickly returned to calm.

"That guy Wang Zhi..."

Crocodile remained expressionless as he wiped the golden hook in his hand.

"They got taken down."

This was an expected result.

Rocks, a sea tyrant more than forty years ago, recruited a group of powerful subordinates.

His subordinates include the future legendary pirate Shiki, the future Yonko Edward Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido.

There are also some famous pirates in the future, such as Silver Axe, Captain John, Wang Zhi, and so on.

Because of his ambition to become the king of the world, he openly opposed the world government and was erased from the world and history due to his heinous crimes.

In the battle at God Valley, they were defeated by Garp and the Roger Pirates.

Garp also achieved legendary status in this battle and was hailed as a naval hero.

Wang Zhi became Rocks' subordinate more than forty years ago. At that time, he was a well-known and respected figure who was valued by Rocks.

In other words, he is at least in his sixties or seventies this year.

Even at seventy or eighty years old, there is a certain possibility.

Therefore, such an aging product is really no match for Barrett, who is in his prime.

They were easily defeated, or even killed.

"It seems our boss, like us, is completely uninterested in any of that communist ideology!"

Upon recognizing this extremely familiar style, Mad Torega grinned.

His face also showed a slight hint of joy.

Yes, only a leader who stays true to themselves and can lead them to the treasure is a good leader!

"Alright, tomorrow is the day of the festival~"

Crocodile slowly rose from his seat.

"By this time tomorrow, there will definitely be a lot of interesting guys coming here."

"They all definitely want to get their hands on that permanent pointer that Barrett has."

"I just wonder how many pirates will come under this wave of thought, and..."

His eyes narrowed slightly: "How many marines, and World Government personnel?"

"The Navy and the World Government will definitely be coming..."

Ba Jin, standing beside her, also frowned. Having been on the ship of the Rocks, she knew those CP agents very well.

"I just don't know if they will be influenced by this wave of thought and cause some uncontrollable things to happen during this celebration."

"If it really comes to that..."

Ba Jin couldn't help but look at Edward Weevil beside him: "You'd better remember to protect me then, my silly son!!"

"Don't worry, Mom!!"

Edward Weevil, with snot dripping from his nose, brandished his large sword and nodded seriously:

"Even if I die, I will not let anyone hurt my mother!!"

This expression of determination was very well done, although the noise was a bit loud, and Ba Jin was quite satisfied with it.

The others glanced at the mother and child with disdain, each preoccupied with their own situation.

They were all there, waiting for the celebration to begin tomorrow.

Meanwhile, on the island of Delta outside...

"She's really fragile!"

Tall and muscular, with striking blond hair and crimson skin, Barrett casually flicked the blood off his hands a few times.

He burst into laughter, exclaiming, "What kind of ancient pirate is this? It's absolutely hilarious!!"

Executing a mere Wang Zhi was as easy for him as crushing an ant; it was practically effortless!

"Next..."

His ghostly gaze swept over the ruins of the place, which had just been ravaged by the battle.

"I'm so looking forward to the celebration tomorrow!!"

Beneath his feet, the power of the [Fusion Fruit] activated, merging himself with the island and recreating the scene on the island!

Clean up all the broken parts one by one.

"I've been looking forward to this for so long..."

Barrett was there, grinning and laughing.

And just then~

“Bulu, bulu, bola!!”

The Den Den Mushi in his arms rang urgently.

~~~~~~~~~

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

Chapter 782 Breaking News!! Provocative Action! Pirates are Fighting the World Government and the Navy!!

"Click~"

Barrett casually pulled out a Den Den Mushi and connected the call right there on the spot.

"Something's wrong, Barrett!!"

Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi transformed into a man with an afro, a stubble beard, and a large chin.

"Something's gone wrong!!"

And he was quite exasperated there.

"Another surprise?!"

Barrett simply smiled dismissively at this.

"You said the same thing when Wang Zhi caused trouble on this island before, Festa~"

"But the result didn't significantly affect our plans!"

Buena Festa, Barrett's partner, is also the organizer, person in charge, and driving force behind this "Pirate Expo," as well as the planner of the most brutal war.

"This time, it's different from that bastard Wang Zhi!!"

Festa lit a cigar for himself there, puffing and shouting at the top of his lungs:

"It's pirates! The pirates outside have rioted!!!"

"A pirate uprising has occurred?!"

Barrett raised an eyebrow upon hearing this:

"What? Did they conspire to attack us together and skip tomorrow's celebration?!"

Not all pirates were obediently following Barrett's plan.

After all, being able to secretly obtain the permanent pointer to Laugh Tale is definitely much better than attending that unknown celebration, which is very likely just short of being openly labeled a "trap"!
