Just as von Klay was about to happily express that someone still recognized him, he was smeared in the face with a sticky mess.

Snapped! !

He was bound and wrapped up on the deck by the powerful adhesive.

"What is this?! Why can't I move?!"

Von Clay struggled a few times but found he couldn't break free.

Still not understanding how this could have happened, von Clay shouted in bewilderment and anxiety.

"I'm just a high-ranking officer in the company, what's it to you? Why are you treating me like this... Waaah!!!" Sanji stepped forward and shoved a wad of towel into his mouth. He had long since stopped wanting to hear that hoarse voice.

"Well done, Usopp"

He gave a thumbs-up to Usopp, who had decisively pulled out the Instant Adhesion Gun and trapped Bon Clay.

"Hmph, I, Usopp, am very reliable!!"

Usopp smugly blew away the non-existent gunpowder smoke from the muzzle of the gun.

Then, meeting Chopper's bright, sparkling eyes beside him, his smugness couldn't have been any stronger.

"How is it, Chopper?"

Usopp boasted there, "Look at my shooting stance..."

"Is this Link's gadget gun?"

Before Usopp could finish boasting, Chopper blurted out, "That looks amazing!!"

His gaze and attention were entirely focused on the gun in Usopp's hand.

Usopp: "..."

Am I really that insignificant in matters of the heart?!

"So, what should we do with this guy?"

Nami pointed to Bon Clay, who was whimpering and struggling but unable to break free.

"Just imprison him."

Zoro chimed in, "But once we reach Alabasta and land to find Crocodile, nobody will care about him anymore."

"We can't just keep him trapped on the ship and let him starve to death, can we?"

Sanji also spoke up. Although he hated transvestites and couldn't accept them, he was very concerned about the most basic thing: filling his stomach.

"So, you mean there's no way to have the best of both worlds?"

Nami nodded to indicate she understood, and then~

"Link, it's all yours now!!"

She turned her head directly and looked at Link, asking him to help her.

"So, in the future, if there are any problems you can't solve, will you just push them all onto me?"

Link joked, "Then aren't you guys being a bit too lazy?"

"Hmph, with an all-around reliable guy like you around, it would be stupid of us to waste brain cells!"

Nami playfully stuck out her tongue. "We'd rather be stupid than lazy, wouldn't we?"

"Uh-huh!"

The others nodded in agreement.

"There's nothing I can do about you guys, okay?"

Link smiled and shook his head, then took out an item from his four-dimensional treasure bag.

"Nani?!"

When Luffy and his crew saw the new gadget, they immediately went over to it again.

"This is... a fish tank?!"

The group of people first looked at the fish tank in Link's hand, then looked up with some doubt, and finally their doubts disappeared.

The fish tank Link took out is definitely not an ordinary fish tank; it must be a peculiar fish tank prop!

This is a consensus reached by everyone on board.

They wouldn't be so surprised if Link pulled out a toilet digger in the future.

No need to ask, it must be the amazing toilet squeegee!

With this in mind, the group waited for Link's explanation.

"This item is called a [Trap Bag]."

Link cleared his throat and began to explain.

Item: [Trap Bag].

Description: You can set fog traps to shrink and imprison targets without their knowledge or detection!

This item comes from the episode "The Weird Guys of the Future World".

Nobita got beaten up by Gian and went to Doraemon for a gadget to get revenge.

Doraemon gave Nobita an "Air Pistol," but Gian immediately pulled out an "Air Cannon."

Doraemon then gave the invisibility cloak to Nobita, who then used a trap bag that looked like a fish tank to trap Nobita.

It was later revealed that Gian had found the pocket of a fugitive criminal from the future world and thus obtained those gadgets.

If the time police hadn't arrived in time, they would have all been captured.

"Oh, I see~"

After Link finished explaining, the group understood and then looked at the [Trap Bag] with amazement.

"But this is clearly a fish tank!"

Luffy tilted his head, indicating his confusion, "Why is it called a 'trap bag' instead of a 'trap fish tank'?"

Good question, I'd like to ask that too~~~

Link coughed a few times, and was about to say something when he heard:

Nami: "I think its function of imprisonment is greater than that of a trap; it should be called a 'prison bag' instead."

Usopp: "Shouldn't it be called 'The Imprisoned Fish Tank'?"

Zoro: "It can shrink people, so calling it a 'shrinking bag' would be more appropriate."

Sanji: "A fish tank is a more accurate description, but I still think 'miniature fish tank' is more suitable."

Vivi: "...Anyway, no matter what, the gadgets that Mr. Link brought out are amazing!"

Karoo Duck: "Quack quack!!"

Link: "..."

Well, are the guys on the ship really that bored now?

They started agonizing over a name right away.

Chopper, who had little experience with Link's gadgets, watched Link use them with great anticipation and eagerness.

Not only Chopper, but everyone else, though seemingly indifferent on the surface, actually harbored immense anticipation for Link's gadgets!

Soon, under the curious and astonished gazes of the group, Link took the [Trap Bag] and slammed it over the head of von Clay, who was completely bewildered and had no idea what was happening.

Instantly, he was pulled into the trap bag that looked like a glass fish tank.

Everyone immediately gathered around.

"It really got smaller?!"

A group of people couldn't hide their astonishment; they had once again witnessed the magic of Link's gadgets!

"Amazing!!!"

The excited Chopper pressed his face directly against the fish tank, making his tanuki-like face look somewhat ferocious.

It scared the shrunken Bon Clay, who was trapped inside the fish tank, half to death!

"What...what's going on?! 603"

Feng Clay stared at the obviously gigantic group of people, his heart pounding with fear: "Someone save me!!" He tried to shout for help, but found that his voice was also getting softer.

And he suddenly realized that it seemed there was no one on this ship who could save him, just like the saying goes: even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you! Thinking of this, von Clay could only tremble and cower in a corner of the fish tank, tears streaming down his face. What on earth was happening to this world?! So pitiful, so weak, so helpless!

"This thing looks so interesting!!"

Looking at Bon Clay, who seemed to be questioning his existence and whose worldview was collapsing, in the fish tank, Luffy was even more excited. "Link, can I keep this for you?!"

"Whatever you want"

Link handed the fish tank over without a care in the world.

"Great!!"

Luffy happily took it from Link, and then, along with his playful companions Usopp and Chopper, hurried off to find a place to observe it properly.

Thus, with almost no effort, Mr. 2 von Clay, a high-ranking executive of Baroque Works, was successfully captured!

The process seemed too casual and simple, making it feel somewhat unreal.

and……

The group of people belatedly recalled that Mr. 2 von Clay hadn't caused any harm, yet they had been arrested without really understanding what was going on.

They hadn't even asked him about his purpose, or any other information about Baroque Works.

but?

Seeing Luffy and the others having so much fun, they became even less concerned about it.

We'll meet force with force and water with earth. He's just a mere Shichibukai!

The opponent is Crocodile, but we have Link!!

The opponent is a Shichibukai, but we have Link!!

The other side has a secret criminal organization with nearly two thousand people, but we have Link!!!

When the battle begins, our side promises not to use Link initially!!!

Even the high-ranking cadre numbered 2 on the other side was easily subdued by them.

This made a group of people realize that Baroque Works was nothing special.

Apart from Crocodile, everyone else who's even remotely capable is utter trash!

Well, with their inflated confidence, they might even have some awe and fear of the Seven Warlords if they hadn't witnessed Hawkeye's formidable strength before.

They might even think that Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, isn't all that great.

Link also noticed this change in mindset, a mindset different from the original...

It doesn't seem to be any different?

In the original version, the journey before reaching Albana, the capital of Alabasta, was essentially an adventure and sightseeing trip.

They really got to experience the sights of Alabasta, and it wasn't until the final battle in the siege of the capital that the group started to get serious.

Link also felt there was nothing wrong with it; being tense when necessary and relaxed when appropriate, accurately adjusting one's state.

They didn't pay much attention to it, and sometimes they even joined in on the environment.

And so, with a very relaxed mindset, essentially on vacation, the group headed to Alabasta.

098 [Automatic Fishing Rod]! The so-called [Stop the Warplanes]?!

A gentle sea breeze carries the salty scent, making everyone on this vast ocean feel refreshed and relaxed.

"Fishing, fishing, I love fishing the most?!"

Luffy sat on the edge of the boat, humming a song and swaying his body, holding a fishing rod.
