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

Luffy's obsession with being a musician runs deep; he's been talking about it since the early days, and it wasn't until Thriller Bark that he was able to realize it.

"The ideas and plans are fine, but..."

Link spat out the fruit pit from his mouth. "We need to get out of here first, and besides..."

boom! !

"It seems we need to solve a problem first."

"Coby~!"

A rough female voice, drawn out and slurred, echoed in the room like the scraping of glass hoops.

Upon hearing the voice, Koby shuddered, his face filled with fear and dread.

"I was wondering why there hadn't been any movement down there for so long."

Boom! !

A huge spiked club landed with a dull thud, striking Koby's heart heavily.

"So they were colluding with outsiders and plotting here!!!"

With a pockmarked face, short legs, and an extremely obese and short stature, yet with an unusually large body that makes her seem quite incongruous, the great pirate, Iron Rod, Alvida, has arrived! Upon her appearance, her small, rather unintimidating eyes glanced around.

Then it paused slightly on Link.

"So there's another handsome young man here."

Well, at this moment, after Link transmigrated here, for some reason, he also regained his youthful appearance from when he was eighteen years old.

Moreover, his skin and appearance were enhanced by the time travel, greatly increasing his handsomeness and making him arguably the most handsome man in the world.

Even Cavendish, the "White Horse" of the One Piece world, is slightly inferior to Link.

Only a man as handsome as him could be worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the East China Sea!!

A thought suddenly popped into Alvida's mind.

"No no!!"

Upon hearing about Alvida's culture, Coby, who was so nervous that his body trembled, instinctively tried to refute her, but his useless behavior resulted in him getting a punch on the head from Luffy.

"Coby, the most beautiful woman in the East Blue is..."

Alvida, wanting to show off her charm and power in front of Link, was there reciting her catchphrase.

Before he could even finish chanting the spell, Luffy ruthlessly interrupted him:

"Who is this rude auntie?"

Luffy asked in a serious tone, causing Coby behind him and the pirates on the deck above to gape in astonishment.

"Auntie?"

Link also glanced at Alvida with feigned confusion, and kindly reminded her:

"Hey, Captain, he's obviously quite old. We should call him an old man."

Elderly people...

The pirates on the deck were so frightened that they rolled their eyes back.

"An elderly person? Huh? Is she really that old? You can't tell at all, and you really can't guess her actual age."

Luffy, who believes everything others say, suddenly felt a bit lost, and then he thought back to the etiquette Makino had taught him when he was a child.

He immediately stood up straight and apologized in a serious tone, "I'm sorry, old lady."

His tone was also very sincere.

Old lady...

Link almost burst out laughing when he thought, "To kill someone is to destroy their spirit."

"You two..."

Arrita's forehead creased with anger, and she gritted her teeth in fury.

"You'll pay for this!!"

This back-and-forth, almost like a stand-up comedy routine, fueled Alvida's murderous intent.

That monkey-like guy in the straw hat, I'm going to chop him into eight pieces!

And another thing: so what if you're good-looking?!

I must... um, don't rush to kill him, defeat him first and then slowly adjust the settings!

"Let's go!"

Luffy chuckled twice, but seeing the spiked club coming at him, he didn't want to waste any more time in this cramped space.

He immediately grabbed Link and Koby, one in each hand, and leaped onto the deck above.

boom! !

Alvida, charging forward like a pig, then leaped out as well.

Then, under Luffy's seemingly mocking but actually encouraging words, Coby rekindled his dream of becoming a Marine.

And recalling the grievances and repressions of the past two years that had passed in a daze, he finally turned his grief and anger into courage, and cursed Alvida: "Fat pig!!" "The ugliest woman in the East Blue!!"

These words made Luffy burst into laughter, while also causing veins to pop out on Alvida's forehead.

"You've got guts, Koby!!"

Enraged, Alvida laughed and raised her spiked club high once more.

Luffy grinned and immediately assumed a fighting stance.

But suddenly an arm appeared in front of him.

"Wait a minute, Captain?"

Link reached out and stopped him. "If we have to trouble the captain with everything, then what's the point of having us crew members?"

"I'll take care of this middle-aged woman."

"Should I hand it over to you?"

Although Luffy was somewhat puzzled, he lowered his arm out of unconditional trust in his comrades.

Are you okay?

005, let's see what a prop master is like! [Thanks to aonb for the monthly pass!]

Just now, when Lalink and Koby came up from below, he already knew that Link was just an ordinary person.

Their bodies haven't been exercised at all, so their physical fitness is probably even worse than that of the younger people in their windmill village.

Of course, it's still a bit better than a weakling like Kobi.

That's natural.

Link smiled and stepped forward. "I did say that I am a prop master."

"The skill of prop masters far exceeds people's imagination!!"

"Now, Luffy, let me show you what a prop master truly is!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Link opened his palms and grasped at the air in front of him.

The next second, a sword that looked like a samurai sword appeared out of thin air, with a brownish-yellow hilt, a green handle, and a blade that looked like crystal.

"Sigh!!!"

My love!

Luffy's eyes instantly transformed into diamond-shaped, glittering golden stars, sparkling brightly.

"They produced something out of thin air, like a ninja using ninjutsu!! Is this some kind of ninjutsu?!"

"Ninjutsu??"

Koby, standing nearby, was also stunned, his mouth agape, unable to close it.

"What ninja techniques? I've already said I'm a prop master!!"

Link grumbled to himself as he gripped the katana in his hand.

And the instant he grasped the katana, in an instant…

The entire blade of the knife radiated a bright light, as dazzling as the dawn in the night.

It emitted a crackling electric current and looked so dazzling.

"Famous sword? Electric pill, please go ahead!!"

Link held the knife handle in one hand and struck a pose with the other, looking incredibly imposing and powerful!

"Oooo!!!"

Luffy clenched his fists, and the moment he saw the Lightning Bolt glow, he screamed repeatedly, filled with wild excitement!!

"A famous sword?!"

When Alvida saw the gleaming weapon in Link's hand, she was momentarily stunned.

The thought of the legends that had circulated in the East China Sea made her shudder.

However, she soon breathed a sigh of relief.

"So there's only one sword. Then it seems he's not the pirate hunter Zoro."

"Pirate Hunter?"

Luffy seemed somewhat bothered by this strange title.

"Kid!!"

Alvida slammed her spiked club to the ground with a bang.

"Just because you pick up any knife doesn't mean it can be called a famous knife!!"

She glanced at the electric pellet emitting electricity in Link's hand, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes.

"You can produce something out of thin air? Are you a Devil Fruit user?!"

"Devil Fruit?!"

Upon hearing the name, Koby was slightly taken aback. "Isn't that a legend?!"

The ocean's secret treasure, a legendary fruit that grants incredible abilities.

Because it is said that eating it will incur the curse of the sea and cause the sea to reject it, it is also known as the Devil Fruit by the men of the sea.

"It's not a legend, it's true."

Luffy chimed in from the side.

He pinched his cheek and pulled it outwards; it was very elastic.

"I ate the Gum-Gum Fruit too."

Koby: "..."

A lot happened today, and he's almost overwhelmed.

"A Devil Fruit? Hmm, let's just say that's a fair assessment."

Link thought about it for a moment, but did not refute it.

His gadgets, which come from the 22nd century in Doraemon, are indeed best explained by the Devil Fruit.

"As expected."

A knowing glint flashed in Alvida's eyes.

"So, pulling things out of thin air is your ability... That toy knife that emits fluorescent light and doesn't look very powerful?" At this moment, Alvida had also recovered from her earlier shock, carefully examining the electric pellet in Link's hand, and couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Are you trying to scare children with that thing? Hahaha!!"

"Hahaha, that's right, go home and cry your eyes out!!"

The pirates watching nearby also launched into exaggerated taunts and ridicule.

"This isn't your average toy knife."
