As for Smoker, he was quite stubborn and decided not to accept the pirates' rescue.

110 [Video Gum]! You still have the leisure to chew gum there? You still have the leisure to chew gum there?

However, not understanding the situation, after being casually pressed against the sea stone iron fence by Zoro and losing all his strength, he and their idiot captain smeared oil on their bodies.

Then, each person was given an underwater breathing tube.

It allows people to breathe freely underwater.

Wow~~

By the time everyone had finished doing all this, the water level had already risen, almost covering everyone's heads.

"It's really that easy and effortless?!"

After immersing herself in the water, Tashigi in the cell was surprised to find that she felt the same way as when she was on land.

They can breathe just as well, and they can move freely just as well.

It's even easier and more comfortable than moving around on land, allowing for greater freedom of movement.

"Are these the props from that prop master?!"

Tashigi looked up in a daze, then subconsciously glanced at Link not far away.

At this moment, experiencing the effects of Link's items, she finally understood why Link was called the "Item Master".

And why is his bounty higher than his captain's, and why does he enjoy the trust and support of his crew?

At the same time, she also remembered that she had found traces of Luffy, the Straw Hat Boy, in Loguetown.

But they couldn't find any information about Colonel Smoker.

Later, the Navy reported that Captain Smoker had turned into smoke and drifted over from the other side of the sea.

Tashigi originally wanted to go up and ask what was going on, but when she saw Smoker's gloomy face, she realized he looked like he was about to eat someone alive.

So, quite wisely, he swallowed back the question he wanted to ask.

Looking back now, I reckon Colonel Smoker must have suffered quite a bit at the hands of the "prop master."

As Tashigi thought this, she also looked at Smoker.

While the latter was also somewhat surprised by the effects of the [deep-sea oil] and [underwater breathing tube], they were not nearly as astonished as Tashigi, who was experiencing it for the first time.

It is evident that Colonel Smoker had seen the props made by the prop master before, and even experienced their effects firsthand.

The others also experienced a feeling of ease that was even greater than on land, all within the fully-filled underwater room.

Usopp was having a blast, swimming around the room, while Vivi, the princess who had lived in the desert since childhood, found the experience quite comfortable.

The only ones who probably felt a little uncomfortable were those three ability users.

"Check it out..."

Luffy lay there like a dead dog, "I finally managed to move and breathe underwater, but I still have no strength left..."

He longed to get up and play with Usopp, but the curse of the Devil Fruit left him with no strength, even though he could breathe and survive.

Not only him, but Chopper also looked at Usopp swimming there with envy, his big eyes full of longing.

He also became too exhausted to move underwater.

Smoker, needless to say, didn't even have the strength to put away the cigar in his mouth, which was wet with water.

"Therefore, in this kind of environment, those with abilities are the most troublesome."

Zoro grabbed Chopper with one hand and lifted Luffy with the other.

Sanji also stepped forward and lifted Smoker up, afraid that he would be swept away by the current if he was too weak.

Although Smoker didn't want to accept help from the pirates, his weakness left him with no choice.

"So how do we get out?"

Zoro looked up at the sky. Instead of trying to cut down the Seastone iron fence, he thought it would be better to consider the ceiling that had fallen from the sky before.

Let's see if we can go back down from the ceiling.

However, given this height, getting back up there will not be an easy task.

"Link..."

Like a sea lion being held in Zoro's hand, Luffy tilted his head and stuck out his tongue, "Can you think of a way? Yeah, is there any kind of [master key] or something to help us open the door?!"

Chopper chimed in softly from the side.

"As for the [Master Key], I really don't have one on hand..."

Link stroked his chin.

While Doraemon has many amazing gadgets, he doesn't have every single one.

"But if you're asking me to unlock it, then leave that to me."

As he spoke, Link took out a seemingly ordinary red-wrapped piece of chewing gum.

Then I opened it, put the purple candy in my mouth and chewed it.

"What time is it? You still have the leisure to chew gum?"

Smoker had just expressed his confusion when he heard an angry shout from the side.

"What do you know?! The chewing gum Link took out couldn't possibly be ordinary chewing gum!!"

"That's right, it must be a tool to save us! You clueless idiot navy guys should just shut up!!" "Exactly!!"

Usopp, Chopper, and Luffy, this boisterous trio, kept jumping around and attacking.

Especially the latter two, who were clearly exhausted, yet still kept spouting nonsense and courting death. Smoker: "..."

The veins on his forehead were slightly bulging, and no one would feel good hearing the words "idiot navy".

However, now that he was under someone else's roof, he wisely kept his mouth shut.

He was afraid of attracting more verbal attacks from Usopp and Luffy.

"call?"

After chewing twice, Link suddenly blew bubbles out of his mouth.

And judging from the shape of those bubbles, they are clearly shaped like a key!

"Amazing!!!"

Usopp, Chopper, and Luffy all had their eyes gleaming.

They didn't think Link could solve their problems or that he was particularly good at it.

If they have a problem, they go to Link. Link can always help them solve their difficulties and troubles. This perception of Link is deeply ingrained in their minds.

Those who found it impressive thought that the shape of the chewing gum that Link blew was so lifelike.

"Is it chewing gum that can blow out images?!"

Even though he was completely exhausted, Luffy was still a little restless while being carried by Zoro.

He grinned widely, as if he couldn't wait to grab a piece of chewing gum and chew it properly!

"The shape is indeed quite suitable, and the texture is also good?"

Link held the key he had blown out with the [Image Gum] in his hand and squeezed it, quite satisfied.

Prop: [Video Gum]

Introduction: Also known as "Ruyi Chewing Gum", this product allows you to blow out the shape you envision while chewing gum, simply by thinking of a specific shape in your mind.

The shape it's blown into, and the material itself, are quite tough.

So using a key made from this chewing gum to unlock a lock is perfectly fine.

Squeak~

Link inserted the key into the Sea Tower Stone door lock and then gently turned it.

Instantly, the entire door was opened easily.

"become free!!"

Luffy and Chopper let out a weak cheer.

Then Zoro and the others led them out of the cell one after another.

The group began searching for a way to escape, and after a while...

Outside, in a rainy city, on the bank of a river.

Wow! !

The sound of waves crashing filled the air as Luffy, Link, and the others, all soaking wet, scrambled ashore.

"Damn Crocodile!!"

Once ashore, Luffy immediately became incredibly energetic. He stood up straight, stretched out his fists towards the sky, and shouted angrily.

"Before we go to Crocodile, I think we need to solve one of our current problems."

After throwing Chopper to the ground, Zoro quickly placed his hands on the three swords at his waist, his eyes filled with vigilance as he looked at Smoker and Tashigi in front of him.

"I almost forgot, there are also two marines here, the one with the smoke and the one with the eye socket!!"

Luffy, oblivious to everything, finally realized what was happening.

"So you still want to fight us here?!"

He immediately assumed a fighting stance.

The other Straw Hat Pirates members who gradually climbed out of the water also immediately stood behind Luffy.

Smoker didn't say much about Luffy and the others' defensive stance.

He simply took out a cigar from his pocket, tried to light it many times without success, and then casually tossed the lighter aside.

"Your arrests will have to wait until next time..."

Smoker lowered his eyes and then looked at Link beside him.

"I was able to escape safely from Crocodile this time thanks to you all; you saved my life..."

Smoker, with his clear sense of right and wrong, slowly rose to his feet. "Let's save our duel for next time."

"Straw Hat Boy, Props Master, and the Straw Hat Pirates, I'll remember them."

0. Requesting flowers........

He turned and strode off into the distance: "Thank you?"

He left those words in a barely audible voice before striding away, as if he didn't want to stay a moment longer.

It's like I just said something embarrassing, and I'd feel awkward staying here.

"What? So the navy isn't so bad after all?"

Luffy rubbed his nose, his impression of Smoker greatly changed by his attitude towards him.

This seemingly fierce-looking smoker wasn't actually that repulsive.

"Without the Navy, and Crocodile gone, where do we go next?"

Watching Smoker leave and Tashigi hurriedly chase after him, the group began to ponder their next move.

Everyone else turned their attention to Vivi, the local princess.

"Where should we go..."

Even Weiwei was somewhat confused at this moment.

1001⑥71055

They originally came here intending to defeat Crocodile, but he was no longer here.

The situation is becoming increasingly dangerous, and a fierce war could break out at any moment.

Even if they wanted to go to Yuba to find the rebels now, it would likely be too late or they would fail to meet the leader due to various unforeseen circumstances, making their efforts futile!

So our next move is...

Vivi subconsciously looked at the man who had always made her feel safe and reliable.
