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

Snapped! !

Even Aokiji, who was sleeping with snot bubbles coming out of his nose, was shattered by this sound wave, and then~

"What's wrong?!"

Aokiji slowly opened his eyes, which he had just woken up from, and looked around at his surroundings with a drowsy gaze.

Then, he instantly locked onto the extremely noisy guy who had woken him up.

"[20 Taels of Dao Transformation] Bucky?"

In an instant, with just one glance, his sleepiness dissipated slightly.

That's right, the one that the Handsome Pirates have brought out and presented to everyone is none other than Buggy the Clown, dressed as a clown with a huge, distinctive red nose!

"Oh my god, what's this guy doing here?"

Aokiji scratched his head and got up from his seat.

Before he left the Navy, this guy had already stirred up countless waves on the high seas.

Leaving aside the previous prison break incident at Impel Down, or the later exposure of his identity.

He was an apprentice pirate on the original Pirate King Roger's crew, a legendary great pirate, and also the sworn brother of the Four Emperors, Shanks. He was truly renowned!

Subsequently, after the Marineford War, he answered the World Government's call and became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

However, he later betrayed the World Government by announcing his withdrawal and joining the forces of another Yonko, the Cross Guild of Douglas Barrett, the Devil's Heir.

On the sea, waves and turmoil were stirred up.

It can be said that he is a man who has a firm grasp on the trends of the times. Every time he appears, he is always at the forefront of the times, making him impossible to ignore.

And now, he has appeared before everyone again, and his current situation is equally difficult to ignore.

Because~~~

He's really in a terrible state right now.

The Straw Hat Pirates almost all tilted their heads, looking at Buggy, who was beaten black and blue, with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"Ah, it's Buggy~"

Luffy blinked. "What's wrong with you?"

He asked the question very directly.

"What's wrong with me? Can't you tell?!"

Bucky burst into tears, wailing, "I've been captured! Captured!!"

Good heavens, ever since he encountered that damned Straw Hat Pirates, he hasn't had a single peaceful day.

First, he was knocked away by their captain, Straw Hat Boy, and then he was imprisoned in the deep sea prison on his way to revenge.

He then stumbled into the Marineford War in a daze, and was subsequently targeted by the Navy.

Having finally become a Shichibukai, he thought he could finally have some peace and quiet.

But before he could even enjoy a couple of days of peace, Douglas Barrett appeared.

Subsequently, his own guild, the Cross Guild, was wiped out, and he had planned to go into seclusion to avoid trouble for a while.

But little did they expect that they would be intercepted by these two guys before they had run very far.

And the final outcome, which Buggy could no longer contain, was that they were going to hand him over to the Straw Hat Pirates!

It's like, from the very beginning to the very end, he was completely dominated by the Straw Hat Pirates!

He's always lived in the shadow of the Straw Hat Pirates!!

"Were they captured?"

Luffy stuck out his little finger and picked at his nose, "Oh~"

"Hey!! Is that all?!"

Seeing Luffy's nonchalant attitude, Buggy immediately shouted excitedly.

"At least show some concern for me!!!"

"I was captured by these guys because of you guys!!!"

"Because of us? It's not like we told them to do this to you."

Nami waved her hand dismissively, "We've crossed paths many times before, so why do you always look so disheveled every time I see you?!"

What you're saying is exactly what I wanted to ask!

Bucky sniffed hard, his lips trembling. He was like a mute who had swallowed bitter herbs, unable to express his suffering.

"Luffy-senpai!!"

Fortunately, Bartolomeo stepped in at that moment and took something out of his pocket.

980 "We captured him because we intercepted this item from him!!"

Bartolomeo carefully held the object in his hands, then proudly boasted about it.

"What is this? Can it be eaten?"

Luffy tilted his head, looking at what was clearly a pointer.

"This looks exactly like a record pointer!"

Usopp patted his head, his gaze also fixed on the Log Pose, which bore no name of any island.

"And it's quite obvious that it looks like a [permanent pointer]."

"That's right, it's a permanent pointer!!"

Bartolomeo immediately puffed out his chest proudly, "And it's Luffy-senpai, the permanent Log Pose you all need right now!!!"

"What do we need most?"

Nami, who was the navigator, immediately looked over and said, "I'm sorry, we don't currently have an island we really want to go to."

She shrugged and joked, "Of course, if this leads us directly to Laugh Tale, then that's a different story."

~~~~~~~~~

[A huge thank you again to the generous user 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch'! Last night around 11 PM, they gave me countless donations. I'm truly grateful for their support!!!]

944 A permanent pointer to Laugh Tale?! That's a bit too far-fetched!!

After saying that, Nami shook her head with a slight smile.

How could a random group of pirates—who seem like fans but are actually more like idiots—and their casually pulled out Log Pose be the permanent Log Pose to Laugh Tale?!

Given such a probability, it would be more believable to let Nami believe that Luffy could go a day without eating meat.

Thinking this, Nami then saw Bartolomeo looking at her with starry eyes and an extremely admiring expression.

"Ah!!! As expected of Nami, the navigator-senpai, she recognized it at a glance! This Log Pose is the permanent Log Pose to Laugh Tale!!!"

Bartolomeo's eyes were filled with stars; he was completely in awe.

Nami: "..."

"What did you say?!"

Whether it was Zoro wiping his sword or Sanji carrying a plate, both paused for a moment.

"Is this the permanent pointer to Laugh Tale?!"

Everyone, including Aokiji and Link, raised their heads and looked at Bartolomeo.

To be precise, they were looking at the permanent pointer in his hand.

This looks like an ordinary permanent pointer, it doesn't seem like one at all...

Everyone's first thought was disbelief, but it was at this moment...

"【Qianliang Daohua】escaped from Delta Island and was intercepted and captured by you, right?"

He sat there slurping his ramen and smiled, then suddenly spoke.

“That’s right!!” Bartolomeo nodded vigorously.

"Well, as far as I know, after the destruction of the Cross Guild, its members either died, fled, or were captured. The leader, Douglas Barrett, was even captured by the Navy."

"The permanent compass in Barrett's possession, leading to Laugh Tale, was claimed by the Navy to have been destroyed, but whether it was truly destroyed is something no one knows..."

Having said that, he smiled and said no more, but his words left everyone with endless speculation.

In other words... this record pointer might actually be...

"Is it a permanent pointer to Laugh Tale?!"

Nami's eyes widened instantly, a storm of ideas raging through her mind:

"You, Bucky, got your hands on the Perpetual Clock, and then during your escape, you were intercepted by this mohawk-haired guy and his gang. They captured you, and the Perpetual Clock fell into their hands as well, and then..."

Nami pointed to Bartolomeo, whose face was filled with ingratiating pride, her voice slightly hoarse as she spoke:

"So they've come to deliver this permanent pointer right to us?!"

After careful consideration, this logic seems to make perfect sense...

But... isn't this a bit too bizarre, and also a bit too unbelievable?!

Is it really possible that there are truly free lunches in this world?!

As they sailed on their ship, the permanent pointer to the final island was delivered to their doorstep?!

This is simply... for a moment, it leaves one completely at a loss for how to evaluate this matter, and utterly speechless.

Everyone was stunned, staring at Bartolomeo with a smug look on his face, as if to say, "How about that? I'm pretty amazing, right?" and the permanent pointer in his hand. For a moment, they felt a little unreal.

"but……"

Usopp, who has deceived countless people, is experiencing for the first time a situation he's not entirely sure about:

"That doesn't guarantee that this permanent pointer will lead to Laugh Tale!"

"What if this Log Pointer is fake? Or what if Bucky thinks it's real, but actually has a fake one, and the real one is still in Barrett's hands, hidden away or destroyed long ago?"

After Usopp finished speaking, everyone immediately came to their senses and realized what was happening.

Yes, although it could point to the location of the final island, Laugh Tale, it's only a possibility.

Whether it's true or not, no one can be sure. What if it's a dangerous place...?

Everyone shook their heads inwardly. Besides, they had already obtained the contents of the four Road Poneglyphs through Link's gadgets.

Basically, we can pinpoint the location of the final island.

Logically speaking, such a permanent pointer should not be needed.

Of course, that's one way of saying it...

Many people's eyes flickered with an uncertain light, especially Luffy, the silly captain.

This guy practically has the adventurous spirit written all over his face.

Clearly, regardless of whether this is a permanent pointer to Laugh Tale or not, he is quite interested in such a permanent pointer!

"Instead of getting hung up on whether it's a true permanent pointer..."

Seeing the various expressions on everyone's faces, Link couldn't help but smile.

"Then let's get it properly appraised, isn't that enough?"

As he spoke, Link pulled out a new gadget.

It was a peculiar hat prop with a small mustache and blue eye circles.

The hat connects to glasses and a nose ornament, and the top has a light grid that flashes like a computer.

"Just use these [Future Quality Assessment Glasses] to assess it, and that will be fine."

Link tossed the item to Usopp, who frantically caught it.

"【Future Probability Assessment Glasses】? What's that? A new gadget?! Oh my god!"

Luffy and Chopper turned their heads in perfect unison, both looking at the new gadget Link had taken out, which was in Usopp's hand.

"Yes, by using this tool, we can accurately determine the value of this [Permanent Pointer], and thus determine whether it is genuine."
