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

This single slashing wave cleaved the enormous warm water vortex, which seemed poised to pierce through the heavens and earth, in two!

"Amazing!!!"

Chopper, who had somehow climbed onto the sail, stared wide-eyed at the scene before him.

Although I am well aware of Zoro's strength and understand how powerful his slashes are.

But seeing this scene of the world being cleaved open again once more evoked profound emotions within me.

However~~~

He was filled with emotion, but he forgot about his current situation.

After the warm water whirlpool burst open, a gust of wind swept in.

"Eh eh eh?!!"

With a sigh, Chopper, caught somewhat off guard, was suddenly swept into the sky by the powerful cyclone and wind.

"Eh, Chopper?!"

Usopp, who was also a bit of a simpleton and noticed this, immediately looked up, dumbfounded, his tongue twitching in his mouth:

What are you doing?!

Just as Chopper was about to be swept into the whirlwind, at this crucial moment...

"Rubber, rubber..."

Luffy immediately stretched out his arm and firmly grabbed his spare food spur's short hoof.

However, Luffy clearly underestimated the power of this strong whirlwind.

Just when he thought he had Chopper firmly in his grasp and could pull him back...

Suddenly, a powerful gust of wind emerged from the shattered bubble vortex.

He was blown along with them into the sky.

"Eh eh eh?!"

"Eeeeeee!!!"

Luffy and Chopper's screams and cries of pain echoed across the land.

"What the hell are you two doing?!"

Usopp, the only one of the three fools left behind, immediately clutched his head and cried out in despair.

He simply couldn't accept being abandoned... no, it was the series of stupid things these two idiots had done that made you want to open their heads and see if they were filled with Zoro's sake and Franky's cola.

And in his bulging eyes, he saw Luffy and Chopper about to be swept into the giant whirlpool of warm water.

Suddenly, another figure joined the group of these two idiots.

Yes, that's the figure that Sanji sensed earlier, and that everyone saw, floating in this warm water vortex.

With his exquisite sword strike, Zoro not only successfully broke through the warm water vortex, but also accurately calculated the corresponding position of the figure inside.

They successfully rescued the little man inside.

The reason he's called a petty person is naturally because...

"Oh no, a strange little child has fallen out!!!"

Usopp followed closely, clicking his tongue and saying, "But...why does it look so familiar?!"

What appeared before everyone's eyes was a face that looked somewhat familiar, yet seemed completely unfamiliar.

"That person is..."

Robin, on the other hand, had excellent eyesight and immediately recognized the strange child.

"It's somewhat similar to the figure that Shakky described to us back in the Sabaody Archipelago, one of the many 'supernovas' of this year's worst era."

"Looking at her face... especially the way and where she applies her lipstick, she does resemble the 'Big Eater' Joel Bonney somewhat."

"Is it possible..."

Robin pondered for a moment, then began to let her rather dangerous thoughts wander:

"She's Joelle Bonney's sister, or rather, her daughter?!"

"Or perhaps, because of her relatives, she went to sea to seek refuge, but encountered a shipwreck, and her whole family died, leaving only her niece or nephew struggling in this warm whirlpool?"

Usopp: "..."

other people:"……"

Hey, hey, hey, isn't what you're saying a bit too scary?!

And can't you try to see things in a positive light?!

This sounds very uncomfortable and terrifying...

Although the others had some understanding of Robin's way of thinking, they still couldn't help but twitch their lips at the thought.

Even Aokiji, who boarded the ship later, stared at Robin speechlessly for a while before turning to Link:

"Oh my, has she always been like this before?"

"Yes, she probably has PTSD, or some lingering psychological trauma, which is why she has these paranoid delusions and tends to assume things in a negative direction."

Link nodded slightly.

"Persecution complex, is it...?"

Aokiji remained silent upon hearing this.

He hadn't forgotten that back in Ohara, the World Government 807 had promised to only execute the scholars, while taking all the other residents of Ohara to other islands to provide them with shelter and safety.

Robin was originally supposed to get on that ship, but she was delayed because of Saul's situation.

As a result, the ship that Robin was fortunate enough not to have boarded was burned to ashes under Sakazuki's Meteor Volcano.

Moreover, they killed everyone on board, leaving no survivors.

The official reason given was that it was to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, in case any scholars absconded and boarded the ship while hiding among the crowd.

Once it escapes the island, all the previous efforts will have been in vain.

Of course, the rhetoric is that it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free, which is a very ruthless and iron-fisted approach.

However, Aokiji could not accept it at all.

This incident left a very deep impression on him, and he remembered it vividly for twenty years, never forgetting it to this day.

If he was like this, one can only imagine how Robin, a key figure in the group back then, fared.

[Thank you so much to '1370..' for the generous donation of 2,000 points this morning!! Almost 30,000 points in total!! I am truly grateful!!]

790 A giant robotic shark!! Shark pepper and shark giant? Jinbe rescues people!

It's already quite remarkable that Robin was able to overcome the trauma from his childhood.

Not to mention now, only some minor aftereffects remain.

At that moment, in the sky, the foolish captain saw a figure shooting out from the warm water whirlpool.

His other arm also instinctively reached out in that direction:

"Who is that guy? He suddenly flew out of the sea?!"

He grabbed Chopper with one hand, and with his other arm he stretched out rapidly, firmly holding the child in mid-air.

The three of them swayed in mid-air as they flew over the severed warm water whirlpool.

"..."

Joelle Bonney, who was thrown out of the whirlpool, was still somewhat shaken.

She glanced down at the deep sea below, her face deathly pale.

"The monster is still there!!"

She suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs, "Look underwater! It's down there!!!"

Bonnie shouted with all her might toward the Sunny.

Amidst the fierce blizzard, only a faint, muffled sound remained.

When it reached the crowd, it wasn't very clear.

"Great~"

Nami patted her chest in relief, "That little girl seems to still be alive."

"but……"

Zoro, however, noticed something was amiss:

"Hey, Luffy and the others, where are they flying to?!"

"That little one seems to be calling out..."

Franky said somewhat uncertainly, "It seems to be something like 'Quickly check underwater...'"

"Underwater?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked down.

And then I saw it~~~

A gigantic shark was below the surface of the sea, staring with its oily green eyes and its gaping maw.

It perfectly trapped the Sunny in the very center of the gaping maw of sea!

"Ehhhhhhhh?! 々~!"

They suddenly awoke, shouting.

Without realizing it, without even knowing when, they had fallen into the jaws of this enormous abyss!

Beneath the surging blue sea, the enormous black shadow of a shark, its gaping maw revealing two rows of sharp, gleaming teeth.

Piercing through the layers of waves below, it lunged furiously at their large ship.

"What's that underwater?!?"

"Is that...a shark?! How can it be so big?!"

"Run! Get out of here right now!!!"

Nami and Usopp, the two cowardly members, were immediately so frightened that their faces turned as pale as Bonney's.

As for others...

"Wow, such a big shark? Whether it's for shark fin soup or shark fin wine, the portion must be huge, right?"

"Can it be made into fish fin wine? If so, we could chop it up and use it to make wine!"

"It's such a shame we can't make shark cola, ugh!!"

"Wow, this is the biggest shark I've ever seen before. I'm so surprised my eyes almost popped out, ah, even though I don't have eyeballs."

"Such a huge shark! Hmm, it looks quite imposing."

Usopp and Nami: "..."

They turned their heads stiffly, almost in tears, looking at their group of companions.

It seemed that apart from the two of them, no one else was afraid or intimidated at all.

So, we're leaving here, right?

Jinbe was equally indifferent, forcefully turning the rudder.

And in that very instant.

Click! !

The two rows of sharp fangs snapped shut on the Sunny in an instant, and it leaped out of the sea.

Thanks to Jinbe's superb helmsmanship, the Sunny Going Merry managed to evade the attack in an instant, escaping unscathed.

"this is……"
