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

Pythagoras and Edison, seeing the original body's utterly unceremonious manner, directly complained:

"Contacting them before even making a decision? You're really being presumptuous!"

Meanwhile, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Vegapunk had finished explaining and gained an understanding of the situation inside the arena.

Moreover, the mysterious person's answer was unusually straightforward:

"You've already decided to leave, haven't you?"

"Although I had a vague suspicion all along, I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

The tone on the other end of the phone sounded slightly regretful.

"So what's your choice?"

Vegapunk stopped trying to hide anything and went straight to the point.

"If even you are gone from this island..."

The mysterious person on the other end of the phone gave a very straightforward answer:

"Then there's absolutely no point in me staying here!!"

Clearly, his choice was also to leave with Vegapunk.

"Moreover, after you leave, the World Government will realize something is wrong and will definitely come to this island to investigate."

"At that point, I will either have to stay and face considerable danger, or I will be forced to flee the island and continue my nomadic life."

"Since the final outcome is the same for everyone, why can't I leave with you?"

"Anyway, we all know each other. I feel a little more at ease following you guys.

Under Vegapunk's slightly surprised gaze, the Den Den Mushi gave him a very satisfactory answer.

"Oh, that's wonderful!!"

Vegapunk was very excited, after all, the fact that the other party was with him was a guarantee.

Although it's unlikely in the future, if I were to encounter another crisis in the future, this would be my last resort and guarantee for safety.

With this person by his side, he felt more at ease!

"However, if I'm taking a boat, I still don't want to attract attention."

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, a rather unexpected condition was made: "If I board the ship with you, I will only contact you. I will try my best to avoid contact with the Straw Hat Pirates."

"After all, I'm involved with too many things, and I would feel very guilty if I caused them any unnecessary trouble."

[A huge thank you again to the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch'! He gave me yet another donation this morning at 6 AM, and countless other times too. I'm truly grateful!!]

855 Final Matters Before Leaving!! Another Link gadget? Bonney's Trouble and Its Resolution~

Clearly, this mysterious person living on the island also carries certain secrets and is unwilling to show himself in order to avoid the many troubles that might come with it.

The Straw Hat Pirates didn't think much of his idea.

His companions were merely following Vegapunk's lead.

If you stay inside the [Wallpaper House] and don't show yourself, it doesn't matter if no one recognizes you.

Coincidentally, they are also the ones we hate the most.

As for the identity of this "mysterious person," the Straw Hat crew wasn't too curious, after all, curiosity killed the cat.

Anyway, that "mysterious person" is definitely Ah Jin~~~

With that settled, Vegapunk's original forms all breathed a sigh of relief.

"That way, my main body can safely board the Straw Hat crew's ship!!"

"I'll use the [Vega Legion One] to take us away from this area later."

"That's what we'll do then, let's get moving!!"

"What are you acting like? And don't try to boss me around!!"

Everything was almost ready. Vegapunk was waiting for his clones to finish the remaining preparations before turning to look at the Straw Hat crew.

They were also informed of the passengers who needed to board the ship for this trip.

Usopp tilted his head. "Looks like you guys really are planning to all come together~"

"Hmm, this seems a little troublesome~!!"

Nami spoke casually, then rubbed her two fingers, which represented money, together.

"Lilith-chan, are you coming too? You're warmly welcome!!"

This is the cheers of the colorful kappa and the colorful chef.

"I'll be sailing with seven of the world's top scientists!!"

Franky clasped his arms together, forming a giant heart shape, and looked excited.

Meanwhile, in another part of the research institute, Luffy, Chopper, and Atlas, who later arrived to help, successfully stopped Bonney.

After several twists and turns, they finally persuaded her and took her to the research lab upstairs to reunite with her partners.

Yes, this persuasion refers to persuasion in a physical sense.

When this dim-witted captain learned the situation, he immediately broke down:

"Eh, are we leaving already... 々～ ..."

He pouted, looking reluctant to leave.

"We've only just gotten here, let's stay a little longer!!"

He clearly didn't want to leave such a fun place so soon.

Especially the many interesting scientific inventions in the city, and the machines that could produce so much food.

Presumably, there are other, more interesting things waiting for him to explore.

He was truly regretful and reluctant to leave like this.

“We’d like to stay here a little longer, but don’t forget…”

Usopp rolled his eyes, looking utterly speechless, and said:

"This is an island under the jurisdiction of the World Government. Who knows, the Navy and World Government personnel might be heading towards this island at any moment."

"Ah, that's true..."

Luffy was about to argue, but his voice was quickly drowned out by Vegapunk standing to the side.

"Waaaaah, Bonnie, calm down!!"

When Vegapunk saw Bonney come up, he immediately became excited again and wanted to pounce on her and bite her, but he was so frightened that he hid next to Lilith.

"let me go!!"

Fortunately, the burly Atlas, who was beside Bonnie, immediately restrained her, and no matter how much she twisted and turned, she could not escape his control.

"I already told you, your father is definitely alright... Perfect, the person in question is right here, you can go ask the [Props Master] directly!!"

Vegapunk was good at shifting blame, so he tossed the problem to Link, who was watching the show from the sidelines.

Ok? !

Bonnie glanced over instinctively, and then saw that Link was already holding something in his hand.

It was something like a CD.

"I'm personally too lazy to explain what happened in the past."

Link spoke leisurely, and then Vegapunk's face fell, his expression turning bitter.

He casually tossed the memory disc, which recorded what happened on Thriller Bark, to Bonnie.

"You should find out the specifics yourself and make your own judgment. I won't say anything more."

Link clapped his hands, and then Bonnie stood there with a blank look in her eyes, beginning to process the memories of that time.

"What?! Is this a new item?!"

"It seems to be related to memory, and it looks pretty good."

"Ah, I really want to study this!!"

After Link brought out this brand-new gadget, Vegapunk's clones all gathered around.

They all looked at Bonnie with curiosity, and at the beams of light above Bonnie's head that represented memories.

Pythagoras and Edison, in particular, were eager to understand the underlying principles and apply them to their research.

Fortunately, Vegapunk breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Linken make a move.

In this way, his final matters on the island can be considered resolved.

Next, we can get ready to pack up and leave this place completely!

And then there's the Straw Hat Pirates, who, no matter how much Luffy, that idiot captain, struggles, give up.

Led by Nami and Usopp, the conservatives strongly advocated for setting sail and leaving as soon as possible, citing safety concerns.

Then, the final result

~~~~~~~~~

[Whoosh!!! Another super generous donation from '1370..'!! Two more donations!!! One for 2000, and another for 1000!!! Thank you so much, sir!!! We're about to break 40,000 donations, thank you so much!!! You're awesome, sir!!! You've been so supportive, I'm truly grateful beyond words!!]

And then there's the generous donation from the user 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch,' who gave it to me around 7 AM this morning—and yet again! I've given so many donations; I'm truly grateful!!

856 Wasting time?! Put it on the agenda!! The Elbaf Sea, the world's strongest nation!!

Luffy was initially reluctant, until Usopp unleashed his trump card:

"Now we have all the historical texts of the four Road Ptsms, and we also know the location of Laugh Tale, the last island."

"Don't you want to become the Pirate King as soon as possible and fulfill your dream? Why are you wasting your time here?!"

These words were a wake-up call. Faced with his long-held goal of becoming the Pirate King, Luffy, no matter how reluctant he was, had no choice but to leave with a heavy heart.

"Then let's become the Pirate King as soon as possible!!"

Luffy finally accepted Usopp's persuasive words, "Once you become the Pirate King, we'll have more time to adventure on other islands, and we can easily come back again."

Then, the Straw Hat Pirates' departure from Egg Point Island and Agucard's departure were officially put on the agenda!

Meanwhile, the sea outside was also churning with stormy winds.

Those brutal battles have been constantly influencing the current course and progress of this ocean.

...............

　On Egg Point Island, there was a rare scene of bustling activity.

After finalizing the schedule, Vegapunk and his seven clones all planned to move their decades of research data, information, and findings onto the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.

Fortunately, you can put it in the [Canned Food Studio] first, then the [Wallpaper House], and then the [Explosive Studio] inside.

After Link brought out the "Canned Food Workshop," Vegapunk and his clones immediately set everything inside.

As for how to place and organize all those things, that's none of Link's business.

After all, Vegapunk had long anticipated that one day he would have to turn against and break with the World Government, and therefore he had made preparations well in advance.

They have many inventions that can help move and organize data and results, so the Straw Hat Pirates only need to watch from the sidelines and lend a hand when they happen to be there.

Franky, who loves scientific research, said he could handle the whole job by himself.

So he helped Vegapunk and the others, busying himself with various tasks and enjoying it immensely.

With Franky here to help, Luffy thought he should take advantage of this last bit of time to explore the island thoroughly.

Therefore, he formed an adventure trio with Usopp and Chopper and set off towards the interior of the island.

We'll try to finish this adventure before everything is completely organized!

The others also thought that since they had come all this way to the island, they wanted to go out and explore.

Nami and Robin huddled together, while Sanji and Brook, the two lecherous duo, surrounded Bonney, who already knew everything, showering her with attention.

Jinbe and Aokiji weren't particularly interested in the island. Instead, they stayed behind to keep an eye on Vegapunk and see if he would do anything out of line with Link's gadgets.
