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

Johnny was moved to tears when he learned that his partner was saved.

Even Zoro breathed a slight sigh of relief after learning that his underling was alright.

"But you haven't even mastered these most basic marine nutrition knowledge, yet you've set sail. Are you really sure you're okay?"

Nami expressed doubt about the professionalism of these two self-proclaimed bounty hunters.

"After all, we don't have a chef, and we don't know anything about this kind of thing..."

Johnny said somewhat awkwardly.

"A chef? Come to think of it, we don't have a chef on our ship."

Nami turned her head and thought for a moment.

"Huh? Don't we always have enough to eat every day?"

When it comes to food, Luffy is the first to look up, "Link arranges all our meals every day, and they're always fantastic!!"

During their voyage, they passed through many towns and dealt with many pirate crews.

There is absolutely no doubt that Link's bag contains a large amount of food.

Every day, everyone is given their favorite food, a balanced mix of meat and vegetables.

For example, Usopp's saury, Zoro's sake, Nami's oranges, and Luffy's meat.

It looks very lavish, but...

"I can only make sure I'm full, not that I'm eating well. Maintaining basic nutrition and having a professional chef to nourish me are not the same thing."

Link shook his head. He hadn't forgotten that the concept of "nutritional supplementation" also existed in the world of One Piece.

On the island of Okama, when Sanji was training in the Okama Fist, the Okama King Ivankov mentioned that they had the "Nine-Nine Vitality Menu," which helps improve physical fitness and training.

A good chef plays an absolutely indispensable role in the training of everyone on board.

"Is this so..."

After Link explained the importance of a chef, Luffy clapped his hands in understanding.

"Yosh, that's for sure!!"

He slapped his forehead and decided on the next goal for the voyage: "Next, we need to find an excellent chef!!"

Having learned from Joseph's experience, everyone agreed.

As for how to find a good chef on the vast ocean, Johnny, the underling, suggested a good location:

Barati, a restaurant on the sea.

Baratie is a floating restaurant located in the Sambas Sea area of ​​the East China Sea. It is also the most famous restaurant in the East China Sea and is known for its "battle" reputation.

Its shape is that of a giant ship with fish-shaped figureheads at both ends. Since the chefs on board are all extraordinary individuals, anyone who tries to cause trouble should think twice.

Moreover, the ship can be switched to combat mode immediately if it is threatened or in danger.

It sounds dangerous, but in proportion to that, the owner and head chef, Zeff, makes incredibly delicious food.

Many people come here specifically to taste the delicious dishes prepared by Chef Zeff, and even important figures in the Navy dine here.

Chapter 036 is truly devastating! [Thanks to 65129.. for the donation and urging for more chapters!]

"And according to rumors, the owner of this shop, Zeff, used to be a pirate for a while..."

Johnny gazed at the fish-shaped seaside restaurant in the distance, paused, and then looked at the group of powerful figures behind him whom he dared not offend:

"But I think none of you care about this, right?"

Luffy's eyes lit up at the mention of delicious food, Zoro was more interested in fine wine, and Naruto, with her own thoughts on the restaurant's immense wealth, was also present.

Johnny instinctively shrank back.

Just as they were about to head to the restaurant...

A naval vessel was sailing towards this direction from a distance.

"That's... a naval warship?"

They had seen the navy in Shells Town before, but this was the first time they had ever seen a warship.

It must be said that, in terms of both size and appearance, it is far superior to ordinary pirate ships and cargo ships.

transit group ⑧⑨③⑨⑥④④⑥0

It costs at least 100 million Berries to build one.

"A pirate flag I've never seen before, could it be some unknown, low-level pirate?"

As the warship approached, a nonchalant, dismissive voice rang out from the deck.

A tall man wearing a white patterned suit, with flamboyant pink hair, who looked respectable but had unsightly scars on his face, dark skin, and wearing iron ring boxing gloves, appeared in everyone's sight.

"I'm Captain Iron Fist Finbdy from Marine Headquarters! Hey, who's the captain? Give me your name!!"

Finbuddy only glanced at the cute ram-headed ship before losing interest.

"I am Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King!!"

Upon hearing that the other party wanted to see the captain, Luffy immediately jumped out.

"The Pirate King? You?"

As if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, Fenbundi couldn't help but let out a sneer, his face full of mockery.

But before he could finish speaking, he heard:

"Iron Fist? The legendary naval hero, [Iron Fist] Garp, has he arrived? Where is he?"

Voices filled with confusion and shock rang out rapidly.

Link, maintaining an exaggeratedly shocked expression, walked to the edge of the ship and stared at Finbdi, saying:

"Hey, you old man from the Navy, I just heard you say that Garp, the Iron Fist hero, is here. Is that true?"

"Or is it some shameless, stupid idiot who's using the name of 'Iron Fist' Garp to swindle and deceive people? Or is it someone so shameless that they're using the name of the hero Garp, 'Iron Fist,' for themselves?"

"No way?! Can there really be such shameless and shameless people in the world? They're even more despicable than us pirates!!"

Link was there, speaking at the top of his lungs, his tone exaggeratedly sarcastic and mocking.

So what if it's mockery? Come on, let's hurt each other and see who has the better mockery skills!

Finbdy, who calls himself "Iron Fist": "..."

Straw Hat Crew: "..."

The sailors on the deck of the warship: "..."

The room fell into complete silence.

Even Luffy shrank back; his grandfather's name had left him with a slight sense of unease.

The pirates on the deck opened their mouths, intending to reprimand the pirates opposite them for being too arrogant.

But thinking back on what the other person said... it seems to make a lot of sense!

In the navy, it's not that titles are forbidden, but something like "Iron Fist" is practically reserved for an exceptionally outstanding and powerful naval officer. For you to use that title is...

Especially this title, it's a prefix for their naval hero, Mr. Garp?

This made the group of sailors look at their captain's back with even more strange eyes.

They had long felt uncomfortable with their captain using that title, and now they heard him being mocked by pirates.

Even pirates know that this kind of thing is shameless and despicable, so their captain...

"asshole!!"

Feeling the strange, almost imperceptible gazes cast at him by his men behind him, veins bulged on Finbdi's forehead.

He gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed on Link's exaggerated expression.

Those words were absolutely devastating!

Finbdy admitted that while he used the title "Iron Fist" because he aspired to be like Mr. Garp, he also had some other ulterior motives.

However, at this moment, being mocked and humiliated in this way by a pirate was something he absolutely could not tolerate.

Not to mention, the strange looks he received from his subordinates made him feel like his authority as a superior had been completely undermined!

What he found most unacceptable was that he also noticed that the female companion he had specially invited to have dinner with was standing at the door of the room behind him.

The ambiguous look in her eyes as she stared at his back made him extremely uncomfortable. Clearly, she had heard what that damned pirate had said!

"You damned pirates..."

Finbdy gritted his teeth and said, word by word:

"You guys don't know anything!!"

"I aim to emulate Mr. Garp and am determined to inherit his title as a naval hero. The nickname 'Iron Fist' is just a matter of time for me!!"

"Yes, yes, you're right, no need to explain it to us?"

As soon as Finbuddy finished speaking, he saw Link's knowing look in his eyes and his dismissive and indifferent tone that even Luffy could hear.

Zoro, Nami, and Usopp: "..."

Okay, I've decided. I'll never mess with Link again, and I'll never argue with him. His verbal skills are absolutely infuriating!

037 [Tornado Microphone]! [Thanks to Love for the monthly pass, if it had a color, it would definitely be blue!]

"asshole!!"

Link's words were truly provocative, and Finbdi was so angry that his eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.

"Do you even know who you're talking to, huh?!"

His eyes were bloodshot and one foot was on the deck.

"Smash this wrecked pirate ship to pieces! I'll make sure they're completely sunk to the bottom of the sea!!"

Although they were somewhat disgusted with their own captain, a superior is a superior, and once the order was given, a group of sailors immediately took action.

With a sickening whirring sound of cannons turning, rows of dark, menacing naval cannons were seen aimed at the USS Merry.

"What should I do?"

Usopp trembled, swallowed hard, and asked.

Although he subconsciously wanted to scream and hide, he was fortunate to have been brainwashed—no, instructed—by Link over the past two days.

The first thing he had to do in order to become a brave sea warrior was to face his fears and not back down.

Well, my legs are still trembling a bit.

"Just cut it down!!"

Zoro, with one hand on his sword, replied casually.

However, most of the attention was focused on Link.

Not only him, but Usopp and Nami also looked over.

They were all eager to know what magical gadget Link would come up with to solve the problem.

Unbeknownst to them, every time Link took out a prop, it became a point of curiosity for them to watch.

And this time, Link did not disappoint them.

Just as Luffy was about to inflate his body to unleash the Rubber Balloon, Link suddenly pulled out a long, thin wheat tube.

"fire!!"

Finbdy roared at the top of his lungs, and several cannons simultaneously fired shells toward the Merry!

"call!"

On the Going Merry's side, Link simply put the microphone to his lips and blew on it gently.

In an instant, a strong gust of air gushed out from the straw, instantly engulfing the projectile and causing it to begin spinning freely in the air.

"This is... a tornado?!"

The navy soldiers all gaped, and Finbdi's eyes were wide open, almost bulging out, as he stared dumbfounded at the scene before him.

Prop: [Tornado Wheat Pipe].
