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

"And this guy with the mohawk, all teary-eyed, was crying as if he was really excited."

Luffy nodded, then patted himself and got up, intending to ask Sanji to cook for him.

Before he could even open his mouth, his eyelids blinked, and then...

and many more! !

"Eh eh eh eh?!"

He turned his head abruptly, staring in disbelief at the person whose eyes were brimming with tears of happiness and excitement.

"A rooster's comb?!"

He stared blankly at Bartolomeo, who was on the verge of fainting. "I don't remember having a friend with a rooster-like hairstyle!!!"

"Are you judging your partner by their hairstyle?!"

Usopp, standing to the side, muttered a speechless comment, then explained to the bewildered Luffy:

"He came from the East China Sea. He admired us greatly after reading about our deeds, so he brought a group of followers to sea to join us. They are called..."

"Barto Club!!"

Bartolomeo straightened up, excitedly declaring, "We're called Bartolomeo Club!!"

"Everyone in the club is a fan of all the Straw Hat Pirates' seniors!!"

"I am the president of the Bartolomeo Club!! I am a big fan of both Link and Luffy!!"

He's more than just loyal; he's the most die-hard fan of all.

"Fans, fans?!"

Luffy still looked bewildered as he looked at Usopp, who had spoken earlier.

"Ah, just like he said, that's exactly what it is."

Usopp shrugged. He had already been surprised when he sang about the world of Devil Fruits, so he seemed quite calm now.

As for the others, they had already met Bartolomeo and knew about his impulsive and over-the-top fanaticism.

It seems that Luffy had a conversation with Uta at the very end, and it took him a little longer to wake up.

"You're one of the Four Emperors, so it's perfectly normal to have your own fans and supporters."

Usopp, on the other hand, remained quite calm about it, as if it were perfectly normal.

Because he often collected information about the Red-Haired Pirates in order to understand his father.

They knew that many pirates admired the Red-Haired Pirates and had joined the crew.

Compared to other pirates, those guys were practically nobodies, especially in such a dangerous place as the New World. They seemed completely out of place in the New World.

It even makes one wonder if this is a new world, which somewhat lowers the perceived danger level here.

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

Listen to the names of the famous pirate crews under the Red-Haired Pirates!

The "False Teeth" dad of the Good View Club Pirates, the "Round Finger" frog tinny of the Water Pit Pirates, the "Pururu Pururu" Puru of the Bourgeois Princess Pirates...

Well, just from their nickname and the name of their pirate crew, you can tell what kind of pirate crew they are.

However, as everyone knows, the Red-Haired Pirates never consider the strength of their pirate crews when recruiting members; they only consider whether the other person can work well with them.

Therefore, with everyone united, the Red-Haired Pirates are known as the most balanced and the most impenetrable pirate crew.

So it's perfectly fine for Luffy to have fans from all over the world.

This is just a fan who seems a little abnormal.

"Really? So you're one of our fans~"

Luffy crossed his arms, looking like he'd just realized something, and tapped his hands with his fists.

Everyone else glanced at Luffy sideways, as if to say, "So you accepted it so quickly?!"

Yes, as expected, this is very Luffy-like.

"Well then, Baba... never mind, I'll just call you 'Cockscomb' from now on~"

942 Hey guys, bring the ship closer!! Am I dreaming? We're not on the same wavelength!!

"Ah!! Luffy-senpai gave me a nickname, I'm so excited! I'm so happy!!"

Bartolomeo was not offended at all by the nickname; on the contrary, he was so excited that he was trembling.

It's simply because the person who gave him that nickname is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, whom he has always admired and wanted to follow!

It was Luffy-senpai who personally gave him the name, right in front of him!

Such an honor made him feel as if he were dreaming!

Yes, as expected, the world of brainless fans is something that normal people like us don't really understand.

The other members of the Straw Hat Pirates, observing Bartolomeo's expression, internally formed their own opinions.

"By the way, mohawk-haired guy, what are you doing on my ship?"

Luffy asked Bartolomeo a question, and then "980" shouted at Sanji:

"Sanji, I'm hungry!! I want to eat!!"

"Got it~"

"Ah!! Is Luffy-senpai going to treat me to a delicious meal? Wow!! I've only just joined the Straw Hat Pirates and I'm already receiving such hospitality. I'm the happiest person in the world!!"

"No, you're overthinking it!!"

The others watched Bartolomeo, lost in his own fantasy and weeping again, speechless, and all waved their hands.

They could never catch up with that kind of imaginative thinking.

Even Link, upon seeing Bartolomeo in this state, was reminded of Hancock.

Well, one is an idealized version of an idol, and the other is an idealized version of love. In some ways, the two really do have similarities.

"Senior Luffy, there's no need for such trouble and politeness. I've come mainly to deliver something!"

Bartolomeo immediately wiped away his tears, straightened his posture, and proudly declared.

"thing?"

"That's right, men, bring the boat closer!!"

Bartolomeo turned around and shouted, and Luffy then noticed that behind their Going Merry, there was another pirate ship that was just as huge.

However, the prow of this pirate ship...

"Huh? Is that me!?"

When Luffy saw the distinctive figure on the bow of the ship that clearly resembled himself, he couldn't help but blink.

"That's right!! As loyal fans of Luffy and his crew, we've completely integrated our passion for the Straw Hat Pirates into every aspect of our daily lives, including our pirate ship!!"

Bartolomeo was very proud of this, and he patted his chest and said it loudly.

Only by doing this can we demonstrate that their genuine feelings for the Straw Hat Pirates are absolutely true!

"Boss Barto!!"

The crew of the Barto Club sailed in on the "Forward Luffy Senpai".

And as they approached the Sonny Merry...

"That's... ah, it's Luffy-senpai!!!"

"And there's Link, the prop master! I finally got to see him in person!!!"

"I'm so excited!! I never imagined I'd actually meet all of you seniors one day!!"

"Zoro-senpai with the three-sword style!! Sanji-senpai with the Hell Chef Knight style!! Am I really not dreaming?!"

"Ouch, it hurts! I can feel the pain! This really isn't a dream!!!"

"Mom, can you see this?! I'm so happy!!!"

The entire ship was suddenly filled with howls and wailing, everyone screaming and shedding tears of happiness and joy.

Zoro and Sanji: "...Are these guys all idiots?!"

Usopp: "This is the first time I've ever seen pirates like this!"

Robin: "Hehehe, they're all quite interesting."

Luffy: "Hahahaha, these guys are really funny!!"

Aside from Luffy laughing heartily, everyone else looked at them with disbelief, staring speechlessly at this group of wailing, brainless fools.

Moreover, it's not just the Straw Hat Pirates who think this way~

Behind this ship, the "Forward Luffy Senpai"~~~

"Shut up! You bunch of idiots, shut up!!"

A disgruntled, angry voice rang out, followed by the appearance of another pirate ship, one they hadn't seen before, emerging from behind...

On that ship, a guy dressed like a pirate prince stood on the deck, looking at the group of freaks from the Barto Club with obvious displeasure.

"It's Cavendish, the 'White Horse' of the Handsome Pirates."

The seasoned veteran Jinbe recognized him instantly with just one glance at his rather flamboyant demeanor.

"The supernovas from the past two years seem to possess extraordinary abilities."

"Did he and Bartolomeo get together?"

Jinbe looked at Cavendish with some confusion.

According to the newspaper reports, he shouldn't be the kind of person who hangs out with Bartolomeo, right?

Chopper tilted his head: "Is he that guy with the mohawk's companion?"

Nami pondered, "It seems so. I didn't expect this guy, who looks alright on the outside, to be the same type as that guy with the rooster-like haircut?"

Brooke laughed heartily, "Indeed, you can't judge a book by its cover, that saying is absolutely true, yohohoho!"

Franky nodded in agreement: "Indeed, this is the ocean. All sorts of people can appear, and all sorts of things can happen, woof!!"

"you……"

Cavendish was so far away (3.4), he couldn't hear what the Straw Hat Pirates were saying.

But his eyes weren't just for show; he clearly saw that everyone on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship was nodding with deep feeling, and the look in their eyes was so indescribable...

Furthermore, the fact that he himself came on from behind the Barto club's defense, once you think about it...

He roughly understood what this group of guys were thinking.

I'm definitely not on the same wavelength as this idiot with the mohawk and nose ring!

943 Goodbye Buggy!! Always living in the shadow of the Straw Hat Pirates

"This guy and I just happened to be going the same way, and we came to see you together about something!"

After noticing the slightly subtle looks from the Straw Hat Pirates, Cavendish couldn't help but let out a series of thumbtacks appear on his forehead.

After saying that, he seemed to feel that the more he explained, the worse it would get.

Immediately, he could no longer hold back and ordered his crew member, Slyman, to bring out the guy who had been guarding the ship.

"straw hat!!!"

A heart-wrenching, blood-curdling wail instantly echoed across the vast sea.

It was truly like the mournful cry of a cuckoo and the wailing of a gibbon, enough to break the heart of anyone who heard it and bring tears to their eyes.

The heart-wrenching, pitiful screams startled many members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
