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

If we take down this group of scoundrels, the seas may not be completely at peace, but at least they will be peaceful for a while, giving the navy and the civilians who have been tormented by pirates a chance to catch their breath and recuperate.

Unlike before, we no longer need to spend day and night hunting down and chasing these evil pirates.

The navy was working hard to clean up the remaining mess, which caused some delays in their search for the other officers of the Cross Guild and the permanent pointer 860.

And those pirates who also slipped away without hesitation, but among this group, there were two groups of pirates who left and hit the jackpot during their retreat.

On a remote, uninhabited island, some distance from the waters off Delta Island.

Two sizable pirate ships were moored on the beach.

One of the ships was particularly magnificent and eye-catching, drawing attention wherever it went.

The other ship, however, features a distinctive human figure on its bow, and its name is extremely familiar:

Forward - Luffy Senpai.

Yes, the pirate crews on these two ships are the Barto Club and the Handsome Pirates~

So, there's no need to elaborate on the two groups of pirates currently stationed on this island.

But now, on the island, they have discovered a rather pleasant surprise.

Something that almost all pirates, and indeed everyone in the world, desperately desires!!!

~~~~~~~~~

[Today's third update has been delivered. Another big update today! Once again, I wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance, good health, all the best, and peace and prosperity!!]

865 Buggy and Bartolomeo, [Benefactor]!! Is this the legendary [Perpetual Pointer]?!

"Is this the legendary [Permanent Pointer]?!"

On the golden sandy beach, Bartolomeo, the "cannibal," stood with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a small, hourglass-shaped pointer.

No matter how the pointer inside moves, it remains firmly locked in one direction.

"There are no names marked on it..."

Cavendish, the pirate prince known as "White Horse," was also examining the Log Pose, which was completely unmarked and blank, and couldn't help but say:

"How can we be so sure that this is the permanent pointer that points to Laugh Tale?!"

"Or……"

His eyes instantly turned dangerous as he grabbed the famous sword, Durandal, from his waist.

"You deliberately lied to us?!"

Swish! !

The gleaming blade of the rapier was instantly drawn, pointing directly at the bound man who was lying on the beach.

"To save their own lives, they deliberately gave us a fake record pointer without any written instructions as a counterfeit to fool us?!"

Cavendish spoke coldly, pressing the man in front of him, whose hair was practically standing on end in fear.

Why would I lie to you?!

The man, dressed in a jumble of bright, mishmash colors like a clown, was there shouting out his grievances:

"This is the genuine, permanent pointer of Laugh Tale!!"

Seemingly sensing Durandal's sharpness, his striking red nose twitched on his face.

"Although there are no written explanations on it, I can recognize some of the symbols that have special meanings at a glance!!"

This man, who could be called the King of Clowns, said in a hurried tone, "Back when I was on Captain Roger's ship, I knew this kind of thing all too well 々～."

“This was made by one of our ship’s navigators, Spencer. It’s his distinctive mark, and everyone on board knows it, so I can recognize it!”

Fearing that these people wouldn't believe him, this man, who had once served as an apprentice pirate on the Pirate King's ship, hurriedly presented various arguments.

Yes, that's right. The one who has been captured, tied up, and thrown onto the beach by Bartolomeo and Cavendish is none other than the legendary pirate.

He was an apprentice pirate on the Roger Pirates, a sworn brother of Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, and one of the instigators of the Impel Down prison break incident that shocked the seas.

He left a significant mark on the Marineford War, and afterwards, the World Government and the Navy forgave him, making him a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Later, he formed the Cross Guild with another Yonko, Douglas Bullet, a former crewmate of the Pirate King.

[A Thousand Taels of Transformation], Bucky, the King of the Clowns!!

Previously, he was quite imposing, and his reputation on the high seas was exceptionally renowned.

For a period of time, newspapers were filled with his name.

However, at this moment, he looked exceptionally miserable.

His whole body was covered in dirt and dust, and his face had many red and swollen marks.

His eyes were swollen, bulging, and black, and even his teeth looked like he had lost several.

The only thing that didn't seem to get hurt was his very conspicuous big red nose.

With the defeat and capture of [Devil's Heir] Douglas Barrett, the entire [Cross Guild] fell apart, and many of its members took the opportunity to escape.

As one of the key members, [Senryo-do-ka] Buggy, after realizing that something was wrong, also made a quick getaway.

Well, the main problem is that in a battle of that magnitude, with his extremely weak strength, he could easily be caught in the crossfire and die a tragic death at sea if he wasn't careful.

Therefore, he cherished his life very much, so he seized the opportunity and made a quick escape.

Without looking back, they left the waters off Delta Island.

Moreover, during his retreat, he had also collected a considerable amount of treasure on Delta Island.

He prepared it as capital to make a comeback in his pirate career.

However, because carrying all these things alone was too cumbersome, his evacuation was slow.

So he briefly stopped to rest on this island, which was relatively far away and out of the navy's search range, and which he considered to be relatively safe.

However, as soon as he stopped and landed, he was instantly surrounded by two pirate ships that had been following him.

Moreover, he was surrounded by the two captains of that ship, who, without saying a word, immediately gave him a good beating.

Before he could react, he was completely stunned by the blow.

After he was doused with cold water, his slightly dazed expression returned to normal.

At the same time, he also figured out the main purpose of these two guys.

"Is this really the record pointer?!"

Bartolomeo grinned, one hand picking at his nose, the other holding the record pointer, looking rather suspicious.

That is to say, after the ambitions of "Devil's Heir" Douglas Barrett and Delta Island were crushed by the Navy.

These two pirate groups, who were allies in practice, immediately fled in panic, trying to leave the area as quickly as possible.

The usual evacuation methods would make it difficult to escape from that area of ​​sea. So, the two groups gritted their teeth and decided to escape through the center of the island explosion.

Undoubtedly, this choice was very risky and reckless, but they had Devil Fruit users on their side.

If it weren't for Bartolomeo's Barrier-Barrier Fruit ability, which shielded them from a significant amount of explosive damage, the two groups might not have been able to escape safely.

As if surviving a great calamity inevitably brings good fortune, the two groups escaped the center of the battlefield and safely made their way out of the sea, where they then encountered their "benefactor."

~~~~~~~~~

[A huge thank you again to the generous user 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for the countless donations last night! I am truly grateful!]

The first update of the day is here, and there will be more bonus chapters to come!!

In addition, there were generous donations from some big spenders; I'll thank them separately in the next chapter!

Is this guy serious?! Should we call Grandma again and ask her again?

That's right, it's the guy in front of them, the one who got beaten up by their group, the red-nosed clown Bucky.

After escaping safely, both groups were still thinking about where to go next.

Suddenly, they discovered that the red-nosed leader of the Cross Guild was also sneaking away from them, his dog gleaming and stealthily moving away.

Having discovered a large fish, the two naturally had no intention of letting it go.

After briefly exchanging information, without even finalizing detailed plans, both sides decisively made the same arrangement:

"Catch him up and take him down!!"

Although it's unclear what the effect of taking it down would be, both groups shared the same idea.

This plump fish will naturally have its uses once it's caught!

To their surprise, the effect of this was far more significant than they had anticipated.

After they gave Buggy a good beating, the guy, trembling, took out the "Permanent Log Pose" of Laugh Tale, which the Navy, the World Government, and many pirates from the outside world had been searching for!

The treasure that Douglas Barrett used to attract the attention of pirates all over the world is actually in the hands of this Red Nose Clown King, number 867.

This was something neither group had anticipated.

Bartolomeo and Cavendish were completely dumbfounded, stunned by this sudden surprise.

I felt a little dizzy; happiness came too suddenly, and it felt somewhat unreal.

But soon, the two of them realized a problem.

How can we prove that this is truly a "permanent pointer"?

After all, there are no written instructions or markings on it, so it's hard to guarantee that this isn't just a Log Pose that Bucky randomly picked from some small island to save his life!

"This is real!!"

With his swollen, scarred face, Bucky spoke in a mumbled language.

He was almost in tears.

This is indeed a genuine permanent pointer.

Even he himself couldn't believe that this thing had ended up in his hands.

After Delta Island was destroyed, during his evacuation, he naturally had many flying pebbles and clods of earth falling on his forehead.

As luck would have it, the small treasure box containing the [Permanent Pointer] landed right on his forehead, giving him a huge bump.

Bucky was initially shocked, then overjoyed.

After all, obtaining the [permanent pointer] that everyone dreams of in this way is like a gift from heaven.

It's like God wants him to become the Pirate King.

However, his emotions quickly shifted from ecstasy to calm.

Hmm, isn't that perfectly normal for Uncle Bucky?!

It seems that I have always been favored by the gods and God, and sometimes my luck is even more extraordinary.

Of course, he didn't believe that all this good luck would bring him any good results.

Like this right now~~~

He really didn't expect that he had just gotten his hands on this [Permanent Pointer] and hadn't even had a chance to warm it up yet.

As a result, he was caught red-handed by the two pirate crews that had been following him.

Not only were all the treasures he had looted from Delta Island plundered by these two, but his life was also in danger.

Then, the [Permanent Pointer] was found on his body. In order to save his life, he simply told the truth.

This has led to the current rather tragic situation.

Well, if we're talking about something tragic, he's the only one who's truly miserable.

A world where only Buggy is injured has taken shape.

"It's still very suspicious..."

Bartolomeo held the hourglass pointer and couldn't help but think it looked like a fake.

"Hey, what do you guys think?!"

Completely clueless and unable to discern the truth, he turned around and looked at his group of younger brothers behind him.

"Reporting to the boss..."

The missionary, Gambia, was also the first to respond, but the result of his response was:
