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

He still hasn't witnessed the power of Link's gadgets.

"It's something with a lot of strange and wonderful functions..."

Nami couldn't think of a way to explain it for a moment.

"I'll show you myself and you'll see."

Link, who was standing next to Chopper, satisfied Chopper's curiosity by flipping his hand and taking out a box.

"Is there something new again?!"

Usopp, who was initially a little annoyed at being exposed, immediately joined Luffy, who was shouting excitedly, in surrounding Link after he brought out something new.

Zoro, who was exercising, put down the dumbbells in his hand, and Sanji, who had finished making dessert, also put down his plate.

Not to mention Nami and Vivi, who had already secured the best spots.

Appreciating Link's new props and their effects has become a rare form of entertainment on board, and is gradually becoming a habit.

"this is……"

Chopper looked at the group of people who had gathered around him with some confusion.

Although he didn't quite understand why everyone was so curious, the friendly and comfortable atmosphere of being together made him feel really good.

"These are called [Animal Transformation Cookies]."

Link, who was already used to it, didn't mind and opened the box while introducing it.

Inside the box, everyone saw that it was filled to the brim with cookies.

Each cookie is shaped like an animal.

Item: [Animal Transformation Cookies].

Description: When someone eats these animal biscuits, they will turn into an animal shaped like the biscuit and make animal noises.

It won't take effect immediately after consumption; there will be a delay, and the transformation will only last for five minutes.

I remember my mother asking Nobita to buy some snacks to entertain the guests, but Nobita was lazy and took it upon himself to pick up the cookies Doraemon had left on the ground and serve them to the guests. In the process, he even secretly ate a cat-shaped cookie.

As a result, Mom was not satisfied and still made Da Xiong go out and buy it again.

When paying the boss, Nobita turns into a cat.

Then, he and Doraemon tried to get the cookies back, only to find that the customer had already eaten three.

They are an orangutan, a horse, and a frog.

Despite using every trick in the book, she couldn't make the guest transform into a monster in front of her mother.

But after the guests left, Nobita's father returned, and his mother, who had secretly eaten the rabbit cookies, came out to greet him.

The sight of that rabbit head terrified the father so much that he foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground.

It's a prop that can be used for fun, mainly to amuse children, and doesn't have any special effects. And when Link saw this box of cookies, a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.

When he first saw Doraemon on TV, this episode was one of the earliest ones he ever watched.

"Cookies? They look delicious!!"

When Luffy saw food, he couldn't help but drool again.

"do you want to eat?"

Link took out one for him, "Here, take this."

"Then I'm not welcome!"

Luffy accepted it with a big smile.

"Would you like to try some too?"

Link handed the cookie box to everyone.

"no need!!"

The others decisively took a step back in unison, then shook their heads.

"why?"

The one who asked the question was Luffy, who was still chewing on a biscuit. "It was really delicious."

The others didn't answer him, but looked at the biscuit in Link's hand with some wariness.

They haven't forgotten the effect the "Truth-Telling Pill" had on Usopp, and the series of subsequent consequences.

Putting everything else aside, just considering Link's food, if he's so generous and selfless as to give it all to Luffy so easily... then there's definitely something wrong!! Sure enough, not long after Luffy finished eating...

"What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Luffy looked at everyone's increasingly wide eyes and trembling pupils, and scratched his head in confusion.

However, touching his head made him realize that something was wrong.

"This is... hair?! Eh, how come so much hair has suddenly grown on my body and arms?!" He looked at the hairy things on his hands, which were clearly not human limbs, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Chirp chirp chirp?"

At the end, a few words that were clearly not human were uttered.

"Luffy, he's...turned into a monkey?!"

Everyone stared in disbelief at the lifelike Luffy the monkey.

And you know what? Luffy turned into a monkey... this race actually suits him quite well.

"Amazing……"

Chopper stared wide-eyed, his face filled with shock.

He was beginning to understand why Link was called the "Props Master"!

He simply took out a cookie and transformed a person into an animal, giving them the characteristics of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit?!

"You know what, Luffy and the monkey actually make a pretty good couple..."

Sanji, with a cigarette in his mouth, said, "At least to me, I don't sense anything out of place."

Uh-huh??

The others nodded in agreement.

"Hey, Luffy, is there anything that feels wrong or uncomfortable?"

Zoro rubbed his chin, looking at this strange sight of humans and beasts looking alike.

"Does it feel uncomfortable...?"

Monkey Luffy blinked. "I don't really feel anything, but suddenly having a tail feels a bit strange."

As he spoke, he even rubbed his bright red monkey buttocks.

other people:"……"

Everyone was speechless at Luffy's unreliable behavior.

"If anyone else wants to try what it's like to be with a different animal, they can come here and get a few cookies to try."

Link weighed the box of animal-shaped cookies in his hand.

"After all, the opportunity to transform from a human into an animal is rare. This is a rare opportunity apart from Zoan-type Devil Fruits." That's what they said, but no one else had the idea of ​​turning into an animal.

Zoro shook his head, intending to continue training, while Usopp showed no interest in animals.

Nami and Vivi didn't want to turn themselves into animals, lest they become ugly and leave a bad impression and trauma on others.

As for Sanji~~~

"Hey, First Mate."

He quietly approached Link's side.

"After eating these cookies, if I transform into an animal, will I be able to possess animal habits and instincts?" Sanji asked in a very low voice.

"Yes, of course."

Link roughly understood what this person meant, and looked at him with a strange expression:

"Do you want to...?"

"Hehehe?"

Sanji rubbed his hands together, a knowing smile on his face.

Do you have any cookies that can turn you into a chameleon?!

The cigarette in the corner of his mouth seemed to have burned along with it.

Sure enough~~~

Link revealed an expression that said, "I knew it." Old habits die hard; he still couldn't change his ways.

Link couldn't help but purse his lips. "I do have this?"

Seeing the joy on Sanji's face, she said, "But Nami warned me before that this is absolutely not for you."

"The other pets are fine."

"no……"

Sanji's tone suddenly became urgent, "Could you please make an exception?"

"Accommodate?"

Link noticed the figure approaching Sanji from behind, but Sanji was completely unaware.

"Think about it carefully yourself first. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he ignored Sanji's anxious expression and left.

"Link! Link!!"

Upon seeing this, Sanji immediately shouted anxiously.

Link seemed not to hear, or perhaps he did hear but couldn't wait to leave, as if there were some ferocious beast here.

"Sanji?"

Suddenly, a voice filled with murderous intent floated up from behind Sanji.

Instantly, Sanji was so frightened that he choked, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

"Nami-...Miss Nami?"

He turned his head stiffly and saw Nami's narrowed eyes, which held a slightly dangerous curve.

"You, you, you, let me explain... Waaaaa!!"

A scream echoed across the sea, startling schools of fish that flew past in a spray.

Even the fish seem to be mocking Sanji for being so lecherous he'd risk his life!

The journey from Drum Island to Alabasta will take some time.

During this time, Link used the [Genius Helmet] in combination with the [Efficiency Enhancement Pill] to study the giants' physical techniques and moves, as well as the notes on Haki training left by Rocks.

During this period, Link's improvement rate was incredibly fast.

Moreover, it's not just about sitting there alone, meditating.

After finishing his training, Link called Zoro over, ostensibly to spar with him.

Well, although in the end Zoro was always the one passively taking the beatings.

Thanks to Zoro's tenacious will, Link was able to better master and understand these techniques.

Zoro is truly a great tool and a whetstone.

Zoro: Are you being polite?!

boom! !

The sound of three knives being knocked away simultaneously rose from the deck.

The commotion that has been going on almost every day for the past few days has gotten to everyone else, and they're all just going about their business as usual.

"Damn it, is it still not possible?"
