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

Despite knowing the value of this world's top scientist, Aokiji was still somewhat cautious.

"I think we don't need to intervene anymore."

A smile of interest suddenly appeared on Link's face.

And just as he finished speaking...

Beep beep beep.

Suddenly, a string of curses came through Lilith's earpiece, which represented one of the "evil" aspects—

"Hey, [Evil], what are you doing?!"

"Are they committing such a shameful act as robbery again?!"

"You're completely disgracing our noble profession as scientists!!!"

797 The guy we're really interested in, the [Props Master], we all really want to meet him!!

"Shut up, [correct]!!"

Lily retorted without any hesitation, "Does pride and face really increase funding?!"

"Then you've chosen the wrong target again this time!!"

The voice inside the headset said seriously:

"First of all, this group is unlikely to surrender."

"That's the Straw Hat crew!! A group that only recently became one of the Four Emperors!!"

However, this warning and reminder not only failed to attract Lilith's attention, but also made her secretly delighted:

"Since the other party is one of the Four Emperors, there should be a lot of treasure on their ship, right?!"

Well, it is indeed one of the "evil" aspects; they never consider the consequences of their actions, doing whatever they want and whatever comes to mind.

"Moreover, the captain and first mate on their ship are both powerful enough to rival the Four Emperors of the Sea, and there's also Admiral Aokiji, who originally withdrew but later joined the crew."

The voice of "Zheng" continued: "Therefore, you have made a huge mistake!!"

"That means you underestimated them!!!"

"Look at Aokiji on their ship, and that swordsman!!"

"Zoro, the 'Pirate Hunter' with a bounty of 1.444 billion Berries, and Admiral Aokiji."

"Luckily they didn't make a move, otherwise, given their strength, you would have been instantly killed at such close range!!"

"?!!"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Lilith's face finally vanished.

She looked at the green-haired swordsman, whose hands never left the scabbard at his waist, like a ferocious beast hiding its sharp fangs.

We can launch the most ferocious attack the moment our opponent shows even the slightest threat!

"..."

Sensing the subtle atmosphere, Lilith finally became a little nervous.

Are these people completely unafraid even when surrounded by such a large number of sea monster weapons?!

Thinking of this, she saw Nami, Brook, and Usopp huddled together again.

"..."

Well, there are still some scared guys.

Although his face showed alarm, he seemed to be simply surprised by the scale of the event.

Upon closer observation, it becomes apparent that they do not exhibit any fear or panic.

The voice of "正" continued to come through the headset:

"The strong will first focus their attention on the targets they prioritize. Think about it carefully!"

Upon realizing this, Lilith's gaze suddenly cleared.

"So, all those idiots who acted fearful and grinned like fools were just bait? They were such convincing actors!!"

The silly, grinning idiots she was referring to were Sanji with his heart-shaped face and Franky with his eyes shining and a wide grin.

Well, strictly speaking, these two aren't pretending; they're genuinely complete idiots...

"Besides that, there's another guy on their ship that we're very concerned about."

[Zheng]'s tone suddenly became more serious: "You must be that guy, right?!"

"what……"

When serious matters were mentioned, Lilith's eyes suddenly turned serious: "[Props Maker], is that it?!"

Her gaze, almost unconsciously, fell on the man who had his arms crossed, seemingly watching the show.

"Yes, those props in his hands are, in our opinion, some of the most outstanding inventions."

"It contains many mysterious, even groundbreaking, undiscovered scientific research results!!"

"We all really want to meet him!!"

Lilith also fell silent, knowing what [Zheng] meant by those words.

If you can communicate with the [Props Maker] and obtain his props or some excellent research techniques...

Gradually, her mind began to stir.

at the same time,

"Hey, I said..."

Zoro, who had been silent all along, stared at Lilith and finally spoke: "...Vegapunk~"

Let's call it that for now: "I have a request for you, listen carefully."

This means that this standoff may be heading in a different direction.

Then, Zoro slowly stated his conditions.

Lilith listened to him, while simultaneously relaying his words to Zheng on the other end of the headset.

·· 0 flowers requested ··· ····

That is, representing the [positive] side of Vegapunk, Shaka, or rather...

Shakyamuni!

"It's alright, bring them over!"

After hearing the conditions, Shakyamuni of the Righteousness agreed: "Besides the Props Master, I am also very interested in this group of people."

This PUNK-01 also has his own plans and considerations.

Meanwhile, on the other side, on Egg Point Island...

After shaking off the water droplets, Luffy and his crew, led by Bonney, shouted "For the Horde!"

No, it was "for food," they ventured into the underwater harbor at the bottom of the island in order to fill their stomachs.

........ . 0

When they sneaked in, they boarded a small boat that had been prepared beforehand.

"Have you been here before?!"

While on the ship, Luffy looked around at his surroundings and couldn't help but ask Bonney a question.

"That happened when I was a kid~"

Bonnie replied casually as she steered the boat, "Back then, this was just an ordinary research institute."

"So what are you planning to do here this time?!"

However, Luffy's casual question stung Bonney.

She remained silent, steered the boat, and soon arrived at the harbor, where she found the life ladder leading to the upper deck.

Then, she slowly revealed the pain she had been enduring until now:

"Thanks to Vegapunk, my father became a cyborg..."

Upon hearing this, Luffy's eyes immediately lit up and he blurted out, "So cool!!"

In his eyes, cyborgs are all like Franky, handsome, cool, and interesting robots.

Furthermore, Franky was only modified by himself, a half-baked individual. So how cool would a cyborg be if it were created by the world's most brilliant scientist?!

~~~~~~~~~

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

798 A giant ice cream cone!! A town straight out of a dream! The ultimate in imagination!

Luffy genuinely thought it was a very interesting thing, but Bonney wasn't happy at all.

"He has now completely lost his human consciousness..."

"They don't even know who they are anymore."

"He has now become a pure biological weapon!!"

As Bonnie spoke, she gritted her teeth, her face was filled with sorrow, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"It's amazing you can stay so calm!"

Seeing Bonney's great restraint, Jinbe paused for a moment before speaking.

However, his words seemed to act as a fuse, igniting Bonnie's anger:

"Ahhhhh!!"

She shouted angrily, "Unforgivable!!"

"No... I'm sorry, Pochi 'August 13'~"

Luffy realized this and apologized sheepishly.

"It's Bonnie!!"

"Okay, Portie, no problem, Portie!!"

"..."

In just two short sentences, you've already changed my name three times!

Bonney puffed out her cheeks, indicating that she had absolutely no intention of wasting any more words with Luffy, this idiot Yonko.

Soon, the group ascended the ladder and quickly approached the ground.

"Oh ho!!"

Luffy and Chopper cheered and were the first to burst out of the ground.

Jinbe, the elder fishman, very gentlemanly helped Bonney up from behind.

Yeah, those two guys in front deserve to be single forever.

"These two guys..."

Jinbe looked at Luffy and Chopper, whose eyes were shining and who were eager to find food, and wanted to say something.

But then she heard Bonnie's rumbling stomach behind her, and swallowed back the words she was about to say.

He shook his head and followed the two people in front of him.

These four people finally got ahead of everyone else and entered the town of Egg Point Island!

As the darkness faded and my eyes adjusted, what greeted me was...

"Amazing!!"

A dazzling scene unfolded before Luffy and his crew's eyes!

That was a dreamlike scene that overturned their understanding—

Above the town, countless robotic whales swam and drifted, with dreamlike star trails crisscrossing them.

The meteorological cabin, composed of condensed cloud layers, was used to construct houses and a joyful game hall, making people feel as if they were in an ocean of e-sports fun.
