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

The most powerful tool for generating enormous wealth and money is the "Compound Interest Bank," also known as the "Value-Added Bank"...

"Such an item might exist, but I haven't obtained it yet..."

Seeing Nami's dejected and hopeless expression, Link smiled:

"You don't need to make that face. I have another prop here."

"Although it's a bit different from what you asked for, it's still close enough to do what you wanted."

After saying that, Link clapped his hands, and a large machine appeared on the deck of the Going Merry.

"what……"

Nami had already given up hope, but hearing Link's words, her desire for money made her instinctively look over.

Then, right in front of Link, there appeared a square, house-like object.

"What's this?!"

As soon as Link brought out his new gadget, Luffy and Usopp, the two lively characters, immediately crowded around.

Even Zoro, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened them and looked over. Sanji also got up from the small puddles formed by the tears on the ground and walked closer with a bit of curiosity.

The various props Link brought out always seemed novel and interesting to them.

Every time Link's gadgets appear, they become a new focus of their attention.

"A small house?"

Luffy even tried to knock on it, but was quickly stopped by his two underlings, Joseph and Johnny.

The prop that Link took out looked exactly like a miniature house.

In the upper middle position, there are four small round electric lights in red, blue, yellow and green.

There is also a square opening under the small light, as if it were a place to store something.

Below that, there is another small opening, except that two curtain-like pieces of fabric hang in front of the opening.

Above the curtain was a large traditional Chinese character:

"This is called..."

Meeting the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Link slowly began to speak.

Thank you all for your support with votes, tips, and other forms of donations! Bonus chapter!!

057 [Automatic Pawn Machine] [Thank you for life's dream. And thank you for Apple's monthly pass!]

"This is called an 'automatic pawn machine'."

Faced with everyone's doubts and curiosity, Link slowly explained.

Item: [Automatic Pawn Machine].

Description: Also known as the "Future Pawnshop", you simply put the item you want to pawn into the square hole near the small light bulb, and the device will assess the item's value and then spit out the money through the opening behind the curtain in front.

If you want to redeem pawned items, simply put the money back at the original price it was returned, and the items will be returned.

The pawned items have a three-month validity period; if they are not redeemed within three months, they will disappear.

Most importantly, this tool has a very strong evaluation capability, and can clearly measure the specific value of such an item.

On the road, Nobita met a painter who couldn't even afford to eat. He took a painting from the painter and pawned it, and ended up getting millions in return.

Later, when they went to find the painter, they discovered that there really were gullible collectors willing to spend millions to buy the down-on-his-luck painter's paintings.

It is clear that the automatic pawn machine will never cheat or evade responsibility, and will definitely provide the most impartial evaluation.

Moreover, if you want to get your items back after pawning them, you only need to pay the original price within three months, without any interest.

Where else in the world can you find such a great pawnshop?!

After Link finished explaining, everyone on the ship's eyes lit up.

"Seriously, such a prop still exists?!"

Sanji stopped worrying about invisibility and the women's bathhouse, staring at the pawn machine in front of him with a look of astonishment.

That sounds amazing. 3

"Does it really have such miraculous effects?!"

Nami raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. (1)

Although she had great faith in Link's gadgets, the memory of the two gadgets he had previously produced that had initially given her hope only to disappoint her made her somewhat hesitant. 7

"Why not just grab anything and try it?"

Zoro, lying to one side, offered a sound piece of advice. ⑨

The others nodded slightly in agreement; nothing reveals true knowledge more effectively than practice.

But what should I bring?

Luffy and Usopp are broke, and Nami won't take out her savings until she understands and confirms the true function of this gadget. 9.

As for Zoro and Sanji, well, do they look like they have money?

"That older brother..."

At this moment, one of the henchmen, Joseph, rubbed his hands together and said, "I have a little gadget here that I don't understand."

He seemed a little embarrassed as he took a small pendant out of his breast pocket.

Below the pendant, there is an inconspicuous little black stone.

"This is a trophy I got from a pirate I defeated when I was a bounty hunter. I've kept it because I've never figured out what this stone is." Well, actually, the two of them were picking up a bargain from a wiped-out pirate crew when they saw a pirate lying on the ground clutching this pendant tightly in his hand.

Although he didn't know what it was, Joseph instinctively felt it was a good thing and put it away.

They did have people look at it during that time, but none of the experts could tell the difference. Instead, they thought it was just an ordinary stone and that Joseph was deliberately playing a trick on them, so they kicked them out.

Therefore, Joseph had been carrying it with him until Link took out the [Automatic Pawn Machine], at which point he had a sudden thought and took out the pendant.

Give it a try

Link took the pendant from his hand and put it in.

Immediately afterwards, the small lights on the automatic pawn machine flickered.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, stacks of banknotes emerged from behind the curtain!

“You must be kidding!!”

Nami's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "They have so much money?!"

It was just a small pendant that looked ordinary to her, yet this machine spat out so much money!

Roughly counting, it must be around two million Berries, right?!

The automatic pawn machine seems to incorporate features from the One Piece world, dispensing only Beli banknotes.

Not only Nami was shocked, but everyone else was also surprised.

After a moment of stunned silence, Joseph, the pendant's owner, immediately embraced his partner Johnny with joy and began dancing happily.

"That pendant is worth that much money?"

Sanji stroked his chin, suddenly realizing another use for this gadget:

We can help them determine whether an item is a valuable treasure.

This is something that no one can tell the difference from; everyone just thinks it's an ordinary stone pendant. Yet, it can be pawned for such a considerable amount.

That means the pendant is definitely not as ordinary as they imagined; it must be some kind of very rare stone.

If they were to obtain it, they wouldn't even know how to sell it, let alone understand it, and would easily be deceived by knowledgeable people.

Therefore, aside from authentication, this [automatic pawn machine] is a rare, risk-free pawning tool.

"It's really good!!"

Nami's eyes sparkled, and she clapped her hands excitedly, saying:

"I already knew this item was incredibly powerful and amazing!!"

Chapter 058 Pawning a Straw Hat? [Thanks again to "The Man Who Wants to Become Robin-chan" for the extra chapter request!!]

You're lying! You looked so suspicious just now!

Usopp and Luffy stood to the side, waving their hands.

"Hey, I remember I've saved up quite a few other things, let's see how much money I can get for them!!"

Nami excitedly went to check out her accumulated knowledge.

Luffy and Usopp both found it very interesting and were also exploring their own bodies to see if they could come up with something inconspicuous but valuable.

Guessing the value of something and comparing whose item is better is quite a fun game.

Even Sanji joined in with great interest, and Zoro, who couldn't move, even asked his two underlings to help him carry some things.

His two knives broke after the fight with Hawkeye, and he desperately needs some money to buy new ones.

Soon, everyone took out all sorts of strange and unusual things and threw them into the pawn machine.

Hua Hua Hua~

A small light flickered, and stacks of banknotes were ejected from it.

“You must be kidding!!”

This is the second time Nami has said this.

Previously, the shock came from the large amount of money being spit out, but this time it's from the small amount.

"I took so much stuff, and all I got in return was this money?!"

Nami waved the banknote in her hand, which contained less than a million Berries, in a frantic manner.

"Those are little trinkets I collected along the way, they look quite valuable!!"

"Haha, don't be discouraged, Nami. Maybe you'll be able to collect something really valuable next time!"

Luffy was grinning from ear to ear, clutching a wad of cash in his arms.

"shut up!!"

It would have been better if Luffy hadn't spoken; the moment he did, Nami seemed even more distraught.

Their foolish captain once caught a seashell while playing at sea.

Who would have thought that there was a decent quality pearl inside the shell? It was pawned for nearly three million Berries!

Where can I even begin to reason with this? This luck is just too good to be true!

Fortunately, Usopp and Zoro didn't have much of value on them either; their combined wealth was less than hers, which gave her some consolation.

At that moment, Nami made a decision: if she ever encountered other pirate crews or enemies again, she would never miss anything that looked valuable!

Bring back anything that isn't common or mass-produced and can be thrown into the machine!

At that moment, she secretly made a vow, completely forgetting her original thoughts and intentions when she boarded the ship.

However, before she could finish making her vow, she remembered something and looked at Luffy, who was happily clutching the money.

To be precise, it's the straw hat on Luffy's head.

"Hey, Captain!"

Nami immediately adopted a gentle tone, which was quite kind and approachable.

"How about we pawn that straw hat you're wearing? I've heard it has a story behind it, maybe it's some kind of antique."

"don't want!!"

To everyone's surprise, Luffy immediately rejected Nami's suggestion.

"This is the most important straw hat Shanks gave me, I won't use it for anything!!"

Was it a gift from some powerful figure?

Nami's eyes immediately lit up. [If that's the case, this straw hat must be incredibly valuable!!]

"Give it a try, Luffy!!"

Nami immediately launched an attack: "Don't you want to know what the value is of the straw hat your benefactor gave you?!"
