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

He didn't even meet with Uta once.

Strictly speaking, how is this any different from Yasopp, who also abandoned his wife and children?!

To be honest, this one incident alone shows that Yasopp and Shanks are the same kind of guys.

If it were Luffy, he wouldn't care about anything else; no matter how dangerous the situation, he would never abandon his crew.

Even if it's some kind of excuse, like abandoning her because it's for the good of their companions...

Luffy scoffed at those words, believing that it was absolutely impossible to abandon one's comrades.

He will do everything in his power to fight for his comrades, and he will never back down even if it costs him his life.

Even if they can't successfully rescue him, Luffy will definitely stay by his side until the very end!!

This is also the reason for Luffy's immense personal charisma!

With a captain like this, you don't have to worry about such ridiculous and disastrous things happening when you're having a really tough time!

"Hate, longing..."

Uta muttered to herself, and then, just as she came to her senses, she tried to say something.

Suddenly, Link and the Straw Hat Pirates members who had awakened all turned their gazes to him.

"It seems they're moving faster than I expected."

As Link watched a ship appear on the horizon and speed towards them, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"that is……"

Uta's eyes became empty once again.

She could never forget the mark of that pirate ship.

The prow of the red dragon ship, fluttering with a massive skull bearing the image of two wielding skulls and two swords, and bearing three blood-red scars over its left eye!

The Red Voss, the ship where she had lived since she was a child!

It was also the ship that left the deepest impression on her, one she would never forget!

"He's here too, Shanks..."

Uta watched helplessly as the pirate ship sailed into Alicia's port.

960 "Hahahaha!!"

Suddenly, her body trembled, and then she threw her head back and burst into unrestrained laughter:

"The timing is perfect!!"

"My fans from all over the world are about to enter a completely new era!!"

"But before we go in, I'd like to get to know you a bit!"

"Shanks!!"

Uta suddenly started waving his arms to both sides:

"Everyone, the worst pirate has arrived! Let's catch him together!!"

She had barely finished speaking~

In an instant, the group of fans and listeners who had fainted on the ground stiffly rose to their feet and, following Uta's instructions, headed towards the port!

They were like a group of walking corpses, completely devoid of their own consciousness, moving forward entirely under Uta's commands and the manipulation of their own fading consciousness.

It was at this time that...

"Jingle Bell!!"

A crisp bell suddenly rang out across the field.

920 [Dream Wind Chimes]! Shanks arrives!! [Give Me Some Face] – the [Face Fruit]!

Suddenly, Link pulled out a red wind chime with strips of cloth attached to its bottom.

"Everyone, stay where you are and don't move!"

Link gave instructions in a soft voice while shaking the wind chimes in his hand.

Jingle Bell.

Amidst the surrounding sounds, the ringtone quickly traveled to every corner of the island.

"..."

Those who were about to follow Uta's instructions and take action all froze in place, no longer making the slightest movement.

"What's this?!!"

Uta watched helplessly as his orders were issued, yet no one obeyed them, and his tone gradually became somewhat off.

"This is called 'Wind Chimes in a Dream'~"

Jingle Bell.

Link shook the prop in his hand and said with a smile.

Item: [Dream Wind Chime], also known as [Dream Wind Chime] or [Dream Dream Wind Chime].

Shaped like a wind chime, it can summon people who are asleep according to specified conditions (such as age) (in "Expanding Pump", it can even wake people whose time has been stopped by using a startling moment) to a meeting place requested by the user as if they were sleepwalking, and can command them to some extent, while the user will feel as if they are dreaming.

Doraemon frequently uses this gadget, which appears in many stories such as "Super Heroes," "The Vastness of Japan," "A Must-Visit for Flower Viewing," and "Nobita and the Dragon Knight."

Originally, when Dad asked Nobita what he wanted to be when he grew up, Nobita replied, "I want to be the king of kids!"

Nobita wants to grow up to be like Gian, leading children in a magical way.

This naturally earned him a scolding from his father, whose blood was boiling, and Da Xiong felt that his father didn't understand him.

So, in order to help Nobita and make him sleep until midnight, Doraemon took out the "Dream Wind Chime" gadget and gathered the ten-year-old children in the neighborhood in an open space, thus fulfilling Nobita's dream.

This prop can be considered one of the tools specifically designed to deal with dreams.

It's fair to say that if any Devil Fruit user possessed the power of the Dream-Dream Fruit...

Therefore, all of Link's various gadgets are designed to counter him!

In particular, the item "Wind Chime in Dreams" involves the existence of rules.

Even those whose time was stopped by a sudden, unexpected event could still cry out, which shows that even the power of time could not stop them.

Not to mention Uta's Devil Fruit ability.

Against this rule-based item that Link has an unsolvable problem with, there is basically no way to fight back.

Therefore, after realizing that their abilities were useless...

Uta's defenses have been breached.

"Why, why did it turn out like this?!"

Her face was filled with disbelief and inability to accept it. She clutched her head and shouted:

"Get moving, everyone! Get moving!!"

Her tone gradually rose and became sharp, immediately turning into hysteria:

"Why is this happening?! You were clearly affected by my abilities!!"

"We are about to usher in a new era, how can we stand still here?!"

"How can it be repaired!!!"

In the end, no matter how she tried to use her abilities, she couldn't persuade the fans who were trapped in a dream and controlled by the [Dream Wind Chimes] to do any of the actions she specified.

Ever since~

Uta's mentality completely collapsed.

Then~~~

"It's all your fault!!"

She whirled around, instantly turning her attention to Link, who was standing there gently swaying the [Dream Wind Chime].

"In the world of singing, you're the one who's hindering my capture of Luffy and the others!!"

"Even in this real world, it's you who's stopping me from going to find Shanks and the others!!"

"It's all your fault!!"

"It's you who's stopping my new era from beginning! It's you, it's you!!"

Is this Nezha?!

Link silently watched Uta, whose expression was gradually becoming agitated and who was speaking incoherently, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

He was simply trying to save Uta, a wayward and self-willed girl, time and time again.

Moreover, they only used these props to easily break through her abilities, without using those powerful moves to take her down directly. That was already being quite polite to her out of respect for Luffy.

Yes, it's Luffy's face, not Shanks' face.

After all, this world's songstress is Luffy's childhood friend and older sister; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe them as childhood sweethearts.

As for Shanks, the user of the "Face Fruit" who's known for his ability to "give me face"...

Sorry, but when it comes to Link, his influence is nowhere near as great as Chopper's marshmallows.

"Why? Why do you always stand up and obstruct me every time I'm about to embark on the most crucial step of this new era?!"

"Is this how the singing world is, and is it the same in the real world? Are you deliberately targeting me?!"

Uta's agitated questioning continued, but Link didn't want to give her an answer right now.

There was no need to give her an answer, since his actions had already shown everything.

Moreover, his attention has now shifted from Uta to...

"We've come to your concert."

Finally, a group of pirates known as the strongest and most balanced in the world, known as the Iron Wall Pirates (Nowang's), arrived here!

Buzz~! !

An incredibly powerful and overwhelming aura erupted from a location on the island in an instant!

Along with that, the voice that Uta was extremely familiar with also came over, causing her pupils to shrink slightly.

"Shanks!!"

That light, laughing tone contained a powerful, commanding presence and composure, a tone that made people feel at ease at all times.

At this moment, it resurfaced once again in the depths of her mind and memory!

The most domineering and legendary man in the world finally arrived at this moment! Fate!

Chapter 921 Link and Shanks!! Meeting and Handshake!! A formal meeting between two great pirate crews!

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The figure, with its powerful stride, slowly walked from the shore towards this side.

Every step they took was so calm, yet the sound of their footsteps resonated in everyone's hearts.

Not to mention the immense pressure, like a mountain abyss, that he exerted as he walked towards us!

That overwhelming aura, standing at the pinnacle of the world!

"Is this the power displayed by the most domineering man in the world?!"

Aokiji had his hands in his pockets, and his hands inside his pants had turned into a sheet of pure white ice crystals, ready to strike at any time.

However, before he made any move...

hum! !

Suddenly, an equally intense Conqueror's Haki erupted from their side.
