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

"And not only did they destroy the Cross Guild, they also captured most of the greedy pirates who were heading there to seek the Permanent Log Pose for the final island."

Robin carefully analyzed the current situation, "In that case, the Navy can wipe out all those pirates in one fell swoop, and there will be far fewer pirates causing trouble on the sea."

"The navy will be much more relaxed, and the seas will be more peaceful (Qian Nuo Zhao), which is actually a good thing for the whole world."

"Yes, country."

Nami nodded in agreement, largely agreeing with Robin's point of view, but soon she felt a pang of regret:

"I wonder who has gotten their hands on the treasure of the Cross Guild!!"

876 Will the Marineford War reignite? Whitebeard's beloved woman and son have been captured?

Nami said with a pained expression:

"So many treasures, including the [Permanent Pointer], I wonder who stole them all?!"

"Most likely former officers of the [Cross Guild]~~~"

"Who could it be?!"

There she was, unwilling to give up, brainstorming, "The most likely person to have taken all this stuff was that woman named Ba Jin."

"But it seems she was arrested, so the people who took the treasure must have been other officials..."

Nami was racking her brains, but the character she mentioned sparked a lot of discussion among the crowd:

"Ba Jin? Isn't that the guy who claimed to be the woman Whitebeard loved most?"

Sanji was the first to react, but then he felt a chill run down his spine.

When he first heard the news, he was quite interested and wanted to see what kind of great beauty could attract the world's strongest man, a first-rate hero like Whitebeard!

Originally, in Sanji's imagination, the other party was an elderly person from the same era as Whitebeard.

However, with Rayleigh and Shakky as a benchmark, Sanji figured the other woman should be around the same stunningly beautiful type. 897

As a result, after he found some old newspapers and carefully examined them...

clap clap clap! !

He immediately slapped himself across the face several times.

Why, why did I have to be so foolish as to look for a portrait of such an old woman?!

What have I lost my mind about? Aren't those young, beautiful, and attractive girls good enough?!

This is completely self-inflicted suffering!

Therefore, Sanji felt a chill whenever he heard this name.

Wearing heavy red lipstick, sunglasses, and a cane, he was short, with a wrinkled face, and dressed in a leopard-print coat…

All these factors combined lingered in Sanji's mind, haunting him like a nightmare.

"I think I've seen that older woman before too~"

Usopp, who had been engrossed in trying out the new object, also looked up.

"She not only called herself 'Whitebeard's favorite woman,' but she also had a son named Edward Weevil."

"It seems that this mother and child were also arrested by the navy, but I don't know if it's true..."

He stood there watching the spectacle, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Huh? Whitebeard's most beloved woman, and Whitebeard's son?!"

Little Chopper took it seriously, staring wide-eyed outwards.

Moreover, he was not only shocked by the incident, but also held an extremely pessimistic view of the future situation:

"After Ace was captured by the Navy, Whitebeard led his fleet to attack the Navy."

"Now that Whitebeard's beloved woman and his other son have been captured by the Navy, will Whitebeard attack the Navy again?!"

"Could this reignite the tide of the Marineford War?!"

Usopp: "...???!!!!"

Usopp, who had been there with a gossipy and juicy heart, suddenly froze on his face with a smile.

Yes, if those two guys really do have an extremely important relationship with Whitebeard.

Given Whitebeard's extremely family-oriented nature, he might very well choose to cause another ruckus!

At that time, the world will truly become more lively.

The Marineford War just ended not long ago, and its effects haven't completely faded yet. Is an even bigger wave about to be unleashed?!

"That can't be right..."

Nami also realized what was happening and slightly twitched the corners of her mouth.

(cade)

"That's hard to say."

Robin chuckled softly, "Perhaps that woman is the one Whitebeard once loved."

Well, given Robin's somewhat eccentric and cunning aesthetic sense, it's perfectly normal for her to have such a view.

"Aww, if a fight really breaks out again, I'm definitely taking my [General Franky] to the battlefield!!"

Franky clasped his arms together, looking very excited.

During the last Marineford War, he was unable to bring General Franky to the battlefield due to certain limitations, which was a great regret for him. Now, it seems that there is an opportunity to make up for that regret?

Usopp: "...Don't make it sound so scary!!"

They were so close to the final island that they truly didn't want any more upheavals or war!

"Link, say something!!"

Seeing that everyone else seemed to be scheming and plotting their own agendas, Usopp had no choice but to turn his attention to Link.

And Link did not disappoint him.

"Whitebeard wouldn't go to war with the Navy for the sake of Bakkin."

He gave a positive answer.

"Really? That's great~~~"

Hearing Link say this, even though he hadn't given any reason, the cowardly trio of Usopp, Chopper, and Nami all breathed a sigh of relief.

They had complete trust in Link; if he said there would be no war, then there definitely wouldn't be!

"Why is this?"

Robin fully unleashed her curiosity and thirst for knowledge: "Could it be that Ba Jin's statement was all false?"

"Whitebeard never liked her at all; it was all an act she fabricated?"

"Uh……"

Link really doesn't know how to answer that.

After all, Ba Jin's self-proclaimed claims were originally 90% unreliable.

But after her younger self was revealed...

Yes, one of the emperors of the underworld, known as the "Queen of the Pleasure District," whose true identity is Stusi, an agent of CP0, the secret intelligence agency directly under the Celestial Dragons, looks exactly like Ba Jin when he was young!

877 Leopard Print Auntie~ Whitebeard's taste! A man is a boy until he dies, and his preferences are truly unchanged!

Because Stussy is not an ordinary human; he is essentially a clone of Miss Bakkin, a former member of the Rocks Pirates.

This is one of the reasons why her age has remained a mystery for so many years, yet she seems to have maintained her youthful appearance despite being of an older generation!

On one hand, it might be due to its own ability to suck blood; on the other hand, it might be because it is a clone!

Miss Bakkin was once a member of the Rocks Pirates, and was a crew member of Charlotte Linlin.

Stussy, who is a clone of Ba Jin, is naturally close to Charlotte Linlin. He calls her Linlin at the tea party, and she is not annoyed at all.

Because in that era, the so-called "comrades" on a ship basically all addressed her as such.

Charlotte Linlin didn't care at all about Stuart's address; in fact, she found his face rather endearing!

As for how Stuart was cloned by Miss Ba Jin...

Miss Bakkin is 74 years old. Thirty-six years ago, the God Valley Incident occurred, causing Rocks to fall apart. After that, Whitebeard created his own pirate crew.

According to Little Marco, Whitebeard and Miss Bakkin were on the same ship, which was during their time on the Rocks.

At that time, Miss Bajin was only thirty-eight years old, while twenty years earlier, Vegapunk had returned to Ohara to collect books.

At that time, Vegapunk had just been incorporated into the World Government and had previously been the director of the MADS Research Institute.

Therefore, the sixteen years following the destruction of the Rocks Pirates were also the period when Vegapunk was active with his research institute.

In this way, it is very likely that Miss Bajin has made contact with Vegapunk and others.

Then, during that time, she joined the MADS team and became a member.

In the photo of the Five Kills band, besides Vegapunk, Quinn, Vinsmoke Judge, and Caesar Courland, the woman on the right with her back to the crowd is Miss Bajin.

Oh, no, her name back then should still be Miss Buckingham Stussy.

This is Miss Ba Jin's true name. Perhaps after cloning Stussy, she kept the first name, Buckingham, and even more so, Ba Jin.

And then Stussy gave her the cloned product.

At the time, the MADS team consisted of five people, each with their own role: Vegapunk researched lineage factors, Queen researched viral weapons, Caesar Clown researched artificial Devil Fruit technology, and Vinsmoke Judge was a super soldier.

Miss Ba Jin's research likely focused on topics like eternal youth, and she set her sights on human cloning.

Among them, the king of loan sharks, Luther Field, played the role of the financier. All of the experiments were conducted with his financial support, so he had a good understanding of everyone's experiments.

That's why he was so familiar with Stuart at Charlotte Linlin's tea party.

The reason Miss Ba Jin wanted to stay young forever was probably to clone his own beauty and achieve various ulterior motives.

I still remember when Miss Buggy first appeared, she claimed to be Whitebeard's favorite woman. At the time, everyone thought she was lying and that she was only after the legacy left by the Whitebeard Pirates. They thought it was impossible for her to like a woman like that.

However, the clearest point about Whitebeard's preferences, according to official information, is leopard print.

Miss Ba Jin, on the other hand, just happens to be an "ordinary" auntie in leopard print.

Even now, Miss Ba Jin is always seen wearing a leopard-print cape, looking exceptionally wild. In her youth, she was probably a wild and beautiful woman.

Everyone misunderstood Whitebeard's aesthetic sense and taste; he was just a normal man.

After all, while he was receiving an IV drip and drinking, the delicate and beautiful nurses on the ship were playfully reminding him to take care of his health.

Also worth mentioning is that the female nurses were all wearing leopard-print stockings~~~

Yes, a man is a boy until he dies; his tastes really do remain the same!

As for the comparison between Miss Ba Jin's appearance now in her old age and her appearance when she was young...

It can only be said that Oda is not very friendly to older women. The most typical examples are Sister Carmel and Vice Admiral Tsuru of the Navy.

In their youth, they were so dashing, beautiful, and charming; but once they grow old...

Miss Ba Jin was probably like that too; she was radiant in her youth and might have been just to Whitebeard's liking.

Otherwise, Marco asked Whitebeard about something on the Moby Dick. Given Whitebeard's generous nature, if this hadn't happened, he probably would have just laughed and drunk his wine, joking around.

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

However, Whitebeard remained silent.
