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

The next second, Zoro felt a flash of light before his eyes, followed by a wave of relief throughout his body.

"I am..."

Zoro stared blankly at his surroundings. He had clearly escaped from the cross, and the pressure and fatigue he had accumulated over the past twenty days had completely vanished!

"This is how the same thing?"

He was somewhat surprised by the changes in himself, and then suddenly, he heard a pig-like scream coming from behind him.

"Ahhhhh!!"

There was Helmeppo, who was bound to the cross and replaced Zoro, writhing and screaming in agony.

"You and he switched positions, and your physical states also switched along with them."

Link walked up to Zoro and said to him with a smile.

[Standpoint Switching Gun], this is a very magical item that he drew today.

Item: [Field Switching Gun].

Description: It allows for the exchange of positions between the two parties.

"Stand" is a very subtle word, representing not only the position of two people, but also their identity and physical condition.

In Doraemon, Nobita falls down the stairs and feels a sharp pain all over his body.

As a result, after he pulled the trigger on Doraemon, the one who fell and felt pain became Doraemon; this was an exchange of physical states.

In terms of identity, Nobita was caught and scolded by his teacher on the street, and then pulled the trigger on a passerby.

As a result, it was the passerby who was scolded. Neither the teacher nor the passerby noticed anything was wrong. The latter kept scratching his head and apologizing.

In other words, this "position-switching gun" can change its location, identity, and physical state depending on the situation.

It's clear that after Zoro pulled the trigger on Helmeppo, the two exchanged positions and physical states.

Zoro transferred all the fatigue and pain he had accumulated over the past twenty days onto Helmeppo.

Conversely, the opponent's excellent spirit and energy also flowed into Zoro, making him look exceptionally good now.

"It's amazing that my body has returned to a good condition... That's truly incredible!!"

Zoro first bent his arm in surprise, then looked at the exchange gun in his hand with some seriousness.

"A prop maker?"

Although it was the first time Zoro had heard of such a title and profession, it had already left a deep impression on him.

"So what is your choice?"

Link took the gun from Zoro. "Want to come with us and do this?"

"It seems like I have no other choice?"

Zoro glanced at Helmeppo, who was making a sound like a pig being slaughtered.

He's now completely at odds with the Navy, so it seems he has no other choice but to become a pirate.

"It doesn't matter if I give in to this kind of thing and become a criminal."

"Whether it's infamy or whatever, I will become famous all over the world!!"

As Zoro spoke, his gaze towards Link and Luffy suddenly sharpened:

"Becoming partners is not out of the question, but let me make this clear: I will absolutely pursue my own ambitions to the very end!"

"My name is Roronoa Zoro. I am a swordsman whose goal is to become the world's greatest swordsman. If you dare to hinder my ambition, then you'd better prepare to commit seppuku to atone for your sins!"

"Hahaha, I'm Luffy, the man who's going to become the Pirate King, the world's greatest swordsman, we're quite a good match!!"

Luffy recruits another companion, revealing his bright white teeth that cover half of his cheek.

"Link, the prop master, my current goal is to complete the greatest journey ever—a voyage around the world."

"And that one over there..."

Luffy thoughtfully pointed to the wall where Nami and Coby were, "There's a very skilled navigator there, although he used to be a very annoying thief..."

"I heard you!!"

Nami screamed, "And I never said I wanted to be your ally!!"

He spoke angrily, but his tone still carried a hint of shock.

On one hand, they were shocked that the so-called monster in human skin, the Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro, would actually join this seemingly childish, makeshift pirate crew.

On the other hand, they were stunned by the [Field Swap Gun] in Link's hand.

014 A Bountiful Harvest! A Bountiful Harvest!! [Thanks to the "I'm Going to Be Robin-chan's Man" for the update request!]

"What kind of gun is that? Its effects are so amazing..."

Her eyes lit up as she looked at Link.

"If I had this gun, stealing money from pirates would be much safer and easier, wouldn't it?!"

"A prop master? Can they produce so many strange and unusual things? If that's the case... maybe they even have those things that make money easily?!" "Alright, it's decided. I'll follow this group of guys for now, get my previous treasure back, and then steal some things that are even easier to make money from!" Nami's eyes darted around as she clenched her fists, secretly making up her mind.

Koby, standing nearby, was confused, but the Navy, represented by Helmeppo, had left a deep shadow on his young mind.

"Alright, the key now is to get my knife back."

Zoro glanced at the Electric Ball that Link was carrying on his shoulder, and unconsciously rubbed his fingers together a couple of times.

He needed a knife in his hand to feel a little more at ease.

As if they had heard Zoro's call, soon, many Marines who had been drawn by Helmeppo's pig-like screams appeared at the entrance.

They stared in disbelief at Link's trio, who seemed completely unaffected, and at Helmeppo, who was bound and screaming pitifully. "Quickly, go and rescue Lord Helmeppo!"

A group of people rushed forward in a panic, but after only a couple of steps, Zoro burst into the crowd and knocked many of them to the ground.

"You need three knives to feel at ease!"

Holding the three standard Navy swords in his hands, Zoro grinned, feeling incredibly at ease.

Then, with three swords in hand and his physical condition fully recovered, Zoro, like a gust of wind, cut down the approaching Marines one by one.

Yes, they used the back of the blade, so it only hurt and made them unable to stand up, but it didn't cause any real damage.

Just then, a commotion broke out at the entrance.

"Who dares to cause trouble on my turf?!"

Axe-wielder Monka, who had received the news, slowly appeared in the open space with his massive figure.

The metal jaw that was previously broken by Kro, bearing the naval insignia.

And then there was Monca, whose right arm was also adorned with a distinctive, sharp axe, and who was known as the Axeman.

He stared at Link's trio in the center of the arena with an extremely indifferent expression.

The future "Axe King" was looking down at Link and his group as if they were ants that he could crush at any moment.

"It has a huge body, but..."

Link glanced at it and shook his head. "It's all bark and no bite."

Monka only relied on his large size; he looked intimidating, but in a fight, Oy was brutally beaten by Kro, who even stomped on him, crushing his jaw to pieces.

In addition, after being hypnotized by Kro over the years, his personality changed drastically. He only cared about maintaining his rule and power and did not receive any other training.

That's all they can do is bully others in this small town.

"Is that guy alright?"

Link looked at Zoro and asked.

"Leave it to me~!!"

Zoro sharpened his sword. "It's been so long since I've slashed anyone, my body's practically rusted!"

There was no need for Link and Luffy to even step in; Zoro, whose physical condition had fully recovered, went straight up to confront Morgan.

This was also his awareness as a new crew member; as a newcomer, he naturally had to show his abilities.

Furthermore, since he has become a pirate, it is inevitable that he will become an enemy of the Navy!

"Three-Sword Style? Demon Slash!!"

Zoro unleashed the strongest technique of the Three-Sword Style, aside from the ultimate technique Three Thousand Worlds, and Morgan was completely unable to withstand it.

He merely made an appearance, uttered a line, gave a glance, and played a minor role before this future Axe King met his end at Zoro's hands.

The other sailors seemed somewhat incredulous at what they were seeing.

After rubbing his eyes several times to make sure that Monka had really been defeated, he...

The group looked at each other in bewilderment, and then scattered in a flurry.

On the vast field, there were only Link, Zoro, and Luffy, as well as Helmeppo, who was groaning weakly.

"I never thought you guys could actually defeat the Navy..."

Nami, quite shocked, and Koby, equally agitated, walked over.

"Hahaha, I've also gained a powerful companion, what a great harvest!!"

Luffy laughed heartily, jumping around excitedly.

"Then take back my three knives and get out of here quickly."

Zoro gently put down the sword in his hand, showing respect even though it wasn't his own.

Nami became very energetic when the topic of post-war gains came up.

"I heard that this naval base also has nautical charts leading to the Grand Line. Aren't you going to the Grand Line? Those are essential!"

"It's not you, it's us!!"

Luffy corrected him.

"Yes, yes, it's us."

Nami gave a perfunctory reply, but her eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

[If I could also get my hands on the Grand Line charts, I could keep a copy for myself, make a rubbing of it, and sell it for a good price!!!]

015 How do you know all this so clearly?! [Thanks to Night Feather for the monthly ticket!]

"A chart of the Grand Line...?"

Link thought for a moment; he remembered that the nautical chart here had been taken by Bucky.

That future King Bao, the clown captain Bucky, known as "Thousand Taels of Tao".

A group of people went into the room with great enthusiasm. First, they took Zoro's three swords, and then they found the safe containing the sea chart in Morgan's office.

However, when the safe was opened, sure enough, inside was a picture of a Bucky skull that had been "accepted by this great master".

"Did Bucky take the chart? That Captain Bucky with the nickname 'immortal'..."

Clearly, Nami had also heard of this great pirate, one of the few who struck fear into the hearts of the people in the East Blue.

"Buggy, the immortal? I think I've heard of that name before?"

Zoro, a bounty hunter, stroked his chin. "It seems his bounty has already exceeded ten million, right?"

A pirate worth tens of millions...

Nami swallowed hard, not wanting to provoke them, but then she thought of her childhood dream, her longing for the legendary Grand Line. She gritted her teeth, and a decision gradually formed in her heart.

"Buggy? That guy is a Devil Fruit user, just like Luffy."

Link interjected.

"A Devil Fruit user? Is that why he's called immortal?"

Nami suddenly realized, and then hurriedly asked, "Do you know his specific abilities and information?"

After asking the question, she seemed to realize she had been a bit too hasty, and immediately shook her head, saying self-deprecatingly:

"How could that be? That's the power of a Devil Fruit, how could it be known by just anyone..."

"I know."

"I knew it! How could that be... What did you say?!"
