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

~~~~~~~~~

[A huge thank you again to the generous user 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch'! They gave it to me around 8 AM this morning, and this is yet another one of countless donations. I'm truly grateful for their support!!!]

945 [Future Quality Assessment Glasses]!! It's hard to feel any surprise here~

Props: [Future Quality Assessment Glasses]

Description: Wearing these glasses and pressing the switch on the nose will cause the light grid on the top of your head to flash, evaluating the objects in front of you and providing a rating of superior or inferior quality, as well as their monetary value.

It can be said that with such a pair of glasses, anyone, regardless of their background, can become an excellent appraiser.

At this moment, Link taking out such an item to authenticate this permanent pointer is perfect!

"Is that so?!"

After Link explained the specific effects of the glasses, Luffy and Chopper's eyes both lit up with golden light.

"This looks so fun!! I want to play!!"

Almost simultaneously, Luffy and Chopper roared and then pounced on Usopp at the same time!

"I'm not going to give you such an interesting prop!!"

Usopp, of course, wouldn't just hand it over like that. He quickly dodged, clinging to the glasses and playing around with the two of them.

In an instant, the three of them, who were having a lot of fun, started playing around on the deck.

"I'm talking about you..."

The next second, bright red crossroads appeared on Nami's 980 head, and then...

boom! boom! boom! ! !

With three muffled thuds, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper collapsed onto the deck, as if they were playing Jenga.

On everyone's head, a large, scarlet meat bun appeared, still emitting steam.

In stark contrast, Nami's eyes rolled back fiercely, revealing sharp teeth and a menacing expression: "What kind of time is this? Still fooling around like this, not behaving properly at all?!"

She roared angrily, her fists steaming.

“Ah la la~”

Aokiji watched this scene and silently moved closer to the side.

"Slurp~"

After finishing his bowl of ramen, Issho didn't wait for Sanji to bring him more food. Instead, he got up and walked directly towards the kitchen.

Okay, I'm outta here, getting away from this troublesome place.

Two seasoned veterans who have sailed the seas for years can naturally tell who the real boss is on this ship, not just in terms of general direction, but in the small matters of daily life.

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp stood there with their heads hanging low, weakly apologizing.

Yes, the result is quite obvious, you could say.

After Nami stepped in and calmed the three unruly guys down, things got back on track.

Under the envious gazes of Luffy and Chopper, Usopp put on the glasses and then pressed the switch on his nose.

Bilibili~

In an instant, a flash of light appeared.

The two long tufts of nose hair below the nose began to tremble suddenly as they faced the permanent pointer in front of them!

"Identified as...top-grade!!"

Guangge immediately gave his assessment result: "The value is immeasurable!!"

It's immeasurable!!

These four words alone are enough to prove the authenticity of this permanent pointer!

Only the permanent pointer that points to the final island, Laugh Tale, and to the great treasure, One Piece, can be given such a high evaluation!

"Looks like it's genuine..."

Nami murmured to herself, looking at the somewhat ancient and seemingly ordinary permanent pointer.

Suddenly, she remembered something else.

"Luffy, can you go a day without eating meat?"

She previously thought that the probability of that was even lower than Luffy not eating meat for a day!!

Now that the permanent pointer is in hand, (cade) what about Luffy...?

"Hahaha, this is so funny!!"

"You've played so many times already, it's my turn, let me play!!"

"It was clearly my turn next, but you all tried to take it from me!!!"

Nami had just looked over when she saw Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper, those three guys who never learn their lesson, making a ruckus again.

"I'm talking about you..."

In an instant, Nami's fist hardened, crack crack crack!

As if her knuckles were producing an extremely crisp ringing sound, flames suddenly burst forth from behind her.

"Shut up, all of you!!!"

Bang!! Thud!! Crack!! "Whoa!!!"

After a flurry of activity, things finally calmed down on the boat.

"In this way, the authenticity of this permanent pointer can be confirmed."

Link casually remarked as he put away the [Future Quality Assessment Glasses].

Completely oblivious to the three twitching guys lying on the ground next to them, whose heads now had several more large fleshy bumps on them.

"Yes, it's unbelievable that something the Navy, the World Government, and all the pirates in the New World are so eager to obtain would end up in the hands of someone like us who's done nothing. It really is..."

Robin clasped his hands under his chest, genuinely moved.

Indeed, this vast sea is truly magical; anything can happen on any trajectory of destiny.

They hadn't done anything, yet this permanent pointer, which had made countless people green with envy and desperate to possess, appeared before them on its own initiative.

Moreover, it was presented to them by others; they simply received such a precious item for nothing.

"It feels like this comes too easily, making it hard to feel any sense of surprise."

Sanji lit a cigarette, took a light drag, and said in a somewhat complicated tone.

"We probably already obtained the signpost to the final destination, so it's actually not really necessary for us, right? Ahh~"

Franky then gulped down several more mouthfuls of cola.

"But then again..."

~~~~~~~~~

[A huge thank you again to the generous user 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch'! Yesterday morning around 8 AM, he gave us yet another, countless donations. We are truly grateful for his support!]

Sorry, I finished writing it yesterday, but I was too busy and forgot to update it. My apologies!!!

Captain 946's brother has been captured by the World Government!

"But then again..."

Zoro, stroking his chin, subconsciously looked at Luffy, who was lying on the ground covered in bumps.

"They've only been at sea for less than a year, yet they've already reached this point, and they've even mastered the method to reach Laugh Tale and obtained something like this. It's truly..."

For a moment, even Zoro was somewhat skeptical; Luffy's luck was just too good.

Despite encountering many tough battles along the way, the final result was very satisfactory.

Moreover, the wars he experienced were fought by countless veteran warriors.

Moreover, every battle might be even more dangerous than Luffy's, and there have been failures and setbacks.

A guy like Luffy, who defeats powerful enemies one after another and whose strength improves by leaps and bounds... it's practically like he's been given a cheat code!!

As if blessed by the heavens, we have made great strides and arrived at our current position.

The term "Child of Heaven" is something Zoro and his crew don't know; otherwise, they would definitely think it's the most fitting description of Luffy.

"Actually, I have another question that I'm really curious about~~~"

Sanji removed the cigarette from his lips and slowly exhaled a white ring.

"If Luffy had to choose between eating meat and becoming the Pirate King, which would he choose?"

This seems to be an unsolvable problem, but...

"He'll choose both!!"

The Straw Hat Pirates, who knew Luffy's personality very well, said in unison.

"He can be very stubborn; even if he says no, he won't give up either of them."

This is absolutely something Luffy is capable of doing!!!

"But according to our next destination, we're going to the land of giants, Elbaf, right?"

Robin thought for a moment, "But now that a permanent pointer to Laugh Tale has been delivered, it seems our destination can be adjusted a bit more flexibly."

Yes, Elbaf, the world's strongest nation, and Laugh Tale, the final island where one can become the Pirate King and possess the One Piece.

If any pirate were faced with this choice between these two places, they would choose the latter without hesitation.

However, the Straw Hat Pirates, who already had complete control over the situation, were not in such a hurry.

In any case, they had already obtained everything they were supposed to, and their journey had only lasted a year.

Compared to the other seasoned veterans who have been navigating the high seas, he appears to have very little experience.

Should we head straight to the final island to fulfill our dream, or take our time and enjoy the ocean scenery first?

This is actually a rather happy kind of trouble for them.

"Hey, I said~~~"

Just then, Cavendish of the Handsome Pirates spoke up, looking at the Straw Hat Pirates with great vigilance.

"This permanent pointer was the first one I discovered, and I've been escorting it all the way here..."

He said this aloud, but his vigilance was heightened to the extreme, and he planned to leave immediately if things didn't go his way.

Even as his ship approached, it maintained a fairly safe distance from the Straw Hat Pirates.

He's taking such a huge risk, naturally seeking a golden opportunity to make a name for himself worldwide!

Whether the Straw Hat Pirates agree or not, it would be best if they agreed, but if they didn't, he wouldn't waste any more words and would run away immediately, knowing there would be other ways to achieve his goal later.

"However, given the Straw Hat Pirates' past deeds and reputation, they should be fundamentally different from those vicious pirates, and..."

Cavendish glanced at Aokiji scratching his head and Issho drinking ramen, and nodded to himself.

At least, judging from his close contact, the Straw Hat Pirates are no different from those adventurers who set sail to realize their dreams, except that they are called pirates.

"You want a chance to become famous and famous in front of the whole world, right?"

Link, the true leader of the Straw Hat Pirates, took two steps forward and nodded slightly at Cavendish.

"Not bad!"

Cavendish knew who was truly in charge on this ship, and nodded slightly.

“We are not unreasonable people. Since you and Barto have given us such a precious thing, I can naturally fulfill this small request.”

"Perfect timing. I have a good relationship with Morgans, the president of the World News Economic Newspaper, so I can help..."

Bulu Bulu Bulu~! !

Before Link could finish speaking, his Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.

"Perfect timing! Just mention the club president, and he's here!"

Looking at the familiar white bird face displayed on the Den Den Mushi, Link smiled and answered the call.
