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

"Moreover, they have been fighting for a hundred years without a clear winner, so it is impossible for a result to be reached today. It will probably end in a draw."

"So I plan to go and see another battlefield."

Weiwei, who had been listening attentively, was also taken aback.

"Another battlefield?"

On this island of small gardens, jungles abound, and with almost every step you take, you can see the vast forest and the wild beasts lurking within.

"So where exactly is this?!"

A lost, green-haired guy stared at the fork in the road with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

He had only gone out for a walk and was already planning to go back.

But he found that when he walked back the way he came, all he saw was an unfamiliar environment.

What's going on with this island?!

He also complained there, "Why is this forest so strange, creating so many areas that I can't understand at all?!"

Well, if islands and forests could speak, they would surely cry out in protest and roar at him:

You're the one who got lost!

Zoro wandered aimlessly through the jungle, not even knowing where he was.

He also encountered saber-toothed tigers and cheetahs that wanted to prey on him.

I also saw a Triceratops that used two horns on its head and one on its nose, and like him, it used three swords in a three-sword style.

But none of these factors could deter Zoro's determination to leave the forest.

After a series of large beasts and dinosaurs fell to Zoro's blade, the ferocious beasts that came after him gradually disappeared.

They aren't stupid; they can sense that something is wrong and dangerous.

With no obstacles in sight, Zoro's pace quickened even further.

But this was not a good thing; instead, he ventured deeper and deeper into the forest.

until??

"What is this thing?!"

Zoro stared at the white-covered building in front of him, feeling a wave of questions wash over him.

"Could something like this exist deep in the mountains and forests?!"

As he was wondering, he suddenly saw the house walls, which seemed to be made of white liquid, begin to wriggle.

Then, jets of white liquid gushed out and swept towards him.

"Um?!"

Zoro raised an eyebrow, then instantly drew his sword.

bass! !

With a flash of light, the incoming white pillar was instantly shattered into several pieces.

Just then, the door of the white house suddenly opened, and two figures walked out.

"Looks like some rats have found our hiding place."

The first one to emerge was Mr. 3 Gardiner, sporting a flamboyant "3" hairstyle.

He was still holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and said calmly.

The little painter, Miss Golden Week, followed closely behind him, her face expressionless.

"Well, let's just treat this as a little episode before we carry out our plan, and have some fun with it."

Mr. 3 Gal Dino seemed to take Zoro very lightly, regarding him as nothing more than an ant that could be easily crushed.

"You are members of the Baroque Works intelligence agency, right?"

Zoro stared at Mr. 3 Gardino and asked.

"Oh? You actually figured it out (Li Qianhao)?!"

Mr. 3 Gardino adjusted his glasses, "I never expected that a mere pirate would have such keen eyesight and observation skills."

"But that makes sense, after all, you blocked my candle slime just now, so you do have some skill."

Sauron: "..."

He glanced at Mr. 3 Gardiner's hairstyle.

Anyone who isn't blind can probably see it, right?

His eye twitched, and he barely suppressed the urge to complain.

However, he did notice the important information contained in Mr. 3 Gardino's words just now.

"Candle slime? Is this guy a Devil Fruit user?!"

He glanced again at the small white house behind the other person, which was clearly out of place with its surroundings, and couldn't help but agree even more.

Yes, is that so?

Seeing that Sauron had noticed something amiss and was now on high alert, Mr. 3 Gardino couldn't help but chuckle smugly:

"I am a candle person who ate the Wax-Wax Fruit, and I can create an endless supply of candle slime!!"

As he spoke, he also demonstrated his abilities.

White wax dripped continuously from his arm.

"As expected, he's an ability user..."

Zoro instinctively raised his sword, his already heightened alertness escalating to an even higher level.

At the same time, he nodded to himself.

"Link was right again. These Devil Fruit users all seem to have a strong desire to unleash their abilities."

"Without us asking, these guys automatically told us about their abilities and effects... Candles, huh?" Zoro's eyes changed instantly, and he fully entered battle mode.

"Take this, Candle Carving Fist!!"

The sticky wax from the candle deformed in Mr. 3 Gardino's hands, eventually transforming into powerful gauntlets that enveloped his fist.

Then, it shot out quickly from the fist towards Zoro.

"I'm all too familiar with flexible moves!!"

"Even on our ship, there are people who can do this move better than you!!"

"Dual Sword Style? Hawk Wave!!"

boom! !

The clash between the slash and the candle created a tremendous noise in the forest.

084 The power of hypnosis, brats should learn a lesson. You think I'm not well-educated? Are you trying to fool me?!

"It couldn't be severed?!"

Looking at the sticky candle residue that Mr. 3 Gardino had taken back, a serious expression appeared on Zoro's face.

"Hehehe, the candles I create are as hard as steel, even harder. How could a swordsman of your caliber possibly cut them?!" A mocking expression appeared on Mr. 3 Gardino's face.

In his view, using a knife to fight back against his candle was simply an act of overestimating one's own strength!

After hearing Mr. 3 Gardino's words, Zoro's lips curled up slightly.

"Comparable to steel, or even harder..."

That was a smile that represented excitement.

"Then let me use you and your candle to properly hone my 'will'!!"

"Become a stepping stone for me to reach the [Iron-Cutting] realm, or even higher!!"

An immense fighting spirit suddenly emanated from Zoro!

".?!"

Seeing the change in Zoro's aura, Mr. 3 Gardino's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Looks like this isn't your average pirate."

His expression gradually turned serious. "However, no matter how powerful a pirate is, all their efforts are in vain in front of a genius criminal with a brilliant mind!!"

That's what he said, but judging from his obviously serious demeanor, you could tell that he was starting to take this battle seriously and had abandoned any carelessness!

A battle between the two sides is about to break out!

As tensions between the two gradually escalate, Mr. 3 Gardino's partner is the little girl who was a painter during Golden Week.

He seemed oblivious to the change in his surroundings, and instead sat down expressionlessly, opening the backpack behind him.

Then, quite calmly, she spread a picnic blanket on the ground, and then took out tea leaves, a teapot and teacups for afternoon tea, as well as various desserts.

It was as if the battle on the field, and not her partner, had nothing to do with her.

However, as she took out her paintbrushes and paints and started mixing something, it became clear that she was making some preparations for what was to come.

boom! !

Inside the arena, the battle between Mr. 3 Gardino and Zoro officially began.

And the moment they started fighting was also the time when the volcano erupted, and Brogy and Dorry were preparing to enter the game!

The second battlefield Link mentioned was the battle between Zoro and Mr. 3 Galdino.

Link arrived at the scene after taking down several saber-toothed tigers and dinosaurs, which delayed him a bit.

They found the scene in a mess, with thick, white candle wax flying everywhere and splattering all over the ground.

However, there were a few particularly eye-catching candles, each with a smooth, halved center, standing prominently in the room.

If you look closely, judging from the surface texture of that candle, its hardness is no less than that of steel!

Even so, its peculiar appearance is as if someone had cut the entire candle in half with a knife.

Those who can achieve this level already possess the power to cut through steel.

Link instantly locked onto Zoro, the only swordsman in the arena, who was covered in sticky candle wax.

At his feet lay Mr. 3 Gardiner, in the classic starfish position with his mouth wide open and two streams of blood flowing from it.

However, he was not in good condition at the moment; the lenses in both of his eyes were broken.

His "3" hairstyle was also a mess, and there was a deep wound on his chest.

Mixed in with it was a large amount of white candle wax, scattered around him.

"One-Sword Style? If I'm not mistaken, it should be the [Lion's Song] technique, which decides the outcome with a single strike..."

Link only needed one glance to roughly understand Mr. 3 Gardino's condition.

It seems he intended to trap Zoro with the wax from the candle, but Zoro unleashed his power, awakening "Iron Cutting," which is roughly equivalent to a trace of Armament Haki.

Not only did it cut through the slime that was trapping it, it also charged forward to Mr. 3 Gardino.

Despite Mr. 3 Gardino's frantic efforts to apply a lot of candle slime armor to his body.

However, in front of Zoro when he unleashes his full power, these armors are as fragile as paper, no different from anything else.

He easily sliced ​​through their armor and knocked them to the ground.

"It seems he has already reached the level of [Iron-Cutting]..."

Link glanced at Zoro, who was sitting on a blanket on the ground, leisurely drinking tea.

Zoro should have been enjoying a relaxed and carefree time after winning, but instead, he was covered in blood.

Moreover, some wounds were still gushing blood, clearly indicating that the injuries had not yet healed.

But he just sat there, enjoying the flower tea and desserts, with a rather forced, friendly smile on his face.

"Hypnosis and psychological suggestion?"

Link couldn't help but look at the little girl with the double-tailed whip who was preparing desserts and flower tea.

"Miss. Golden Week?"
