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

He casually picked up a knife and fork and tapped them rapidly and rhythmically on the table, his tone full of anticipation.

"Luffy?!!"

Chopper's snot slowly dripped from his nostrils; the scene just now had truly frightened the child.

"Ah, it's Chopper, and Link too?"

Hearing someone call his name, Luffy turned around, glanced at Link and Chopper, and nodded.

That counts as giving a heads-up.

Then~

"Boss, food! Food, boss!!"

He quickly turned his head again and asked the owner for food.

Chopper: "..."

We're your crew members! You just nod and call it a day?!

Did I get on the wrong ship?!

This was the first time Chopper had this thought.

If Zoro and the others knew of his idea, they would definitely agree with it.

Chopper, you're not the only one who thinks that way!

Thinking of this, Chopper couldn't help but glance at Link, who stood beside him with his arms crossed and looked completely at ease.

"If Link hadn't pulled me back just now, I probably would have been knocked away by Luffy just like those two, right?"

Chopper looked at the huge holes that had been created and couldn't help but shudder.

His small frame couldn't withstand such a strong impact.

"It's fortunate that Link was there, otherwise, if Luffy were allowed to run wild, things might have been..."

The thought of life without Link on the ship was too much for Chopper to bear, and he quickly shook his head to banish the idea from his mind.

For him, the world was utterly hopeless, a truly tragic world.

"it hurts……"

On the other side, in a place where countless holes had been smashed open.

Ace rubbed his head and stood up. "Which reckless idiot did this?!"

If he hadn't possessed a natural fire elemental body, that impact would have at least left him covered in soot.

However, Smoker is clearly a Logia-type Devil Fruit user who can create smoke, yet he was so useless, getting hit in the back and flying through the air.

Is the elementalization of nature so poorly executed?!

Ace silently pursed his lips at Smoker's use of Logia-type abilities.

But the key now is to teach that reckless and impulsive guy a lesson and let him know what he's done!

With that in mind, Ace walked back through the passage he had smashed open, politely apologizing to the residents who were either startled or bewildered.

Well, it seems his apology was nothing more than a formality and politeness; it served no real purpose...

Since he's consistently dined and dashed, he's unlikely to pay compensation for emotional distress or damages to the property.

He apologized all the way back until he saw the figure inside the restaurant.

Then his eyes widened instantly.

"Splash?"

Not far from the restaurant, a section of rubble in the middle of the passageway was lifted, revealing Smoker's figure.

"Damn it, which bastard is it..."

He got up while cursing, and then he saw the figure wearing a straw hat who was eating the food the owner had brought him at the bar table.

"That person is..."

Having not experienced the execution platform incident and not being as obsessed with Luffy, Smoker simply recognized him as a pirate who had encountered a normal situation.

"The captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, [Straw Hat Boy] Lu..."

"Luffy!!"

Before Smoker could finish extracting the information from his mind, he heard Ace's joyful shouts from behind.

Then I felt someone step on my head, and my body, which was about to get up, was also stomped into the ground.

Ignoring him completely and taking Smoker seriously, Ace stepped over Smoker's smoky body and ran past him.

Right now, all he can see is Luffy eating there.

"So this is what they call karma, the cycle of cause and effect, and the inevitable retribution?!"

Link, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, looked at the scene with a very strange expression, and couldn't help but laugh.

Yes, in the original version, Ace discovered Luffy first and wanted to go find him immediately, but he was spotted by Smoker, who was extremely obsessed with Luffy.

Then, ignoring Ace completely, she shoved Ace's head into the ground, ran in front of Luffy to make her presence known, and got sprayed with food by Luffy...

Now, the tables have turned, and he is the one being trampled underfoot by Ace, who has also trampled him back down.

The relationship between the two can be described as a unique entanglement and mutual harm.

"Luffy, it's been so long!!"

Completely unaware of what he had just done, Ace arrived at the dining table with an excited and unusually happy expression.

"You are... Ershi (Ace)?!"

Luffy, who was eating there, immediately looked up and opened his eyes wide when he heard that voice that he had known for a long time since childhood.

Yes, right now my mouth is stuffed full, so I can't speak clearly, and I can barely speak at all.

"You're still the same as before, you haven't changed at all!!"

Seeing Luffy maintain his usual way of speaking and his unpredictable and erratic behavior, Ace felt a sense of familiarity.

He even forgot his original intention to teach that reckless guy a lesson, and instead just laughed and cursed at him.

"What are you doing here?!"

Seeing his brother, whom he hadn't seen for three years, should have been an extremely happy thing, but Luffy still didn't give up the huge pile of food in front of him.

He was trying his best to adapt to the way he could eat and chat with Ace at the same time.

"You'd better swallow the food in your mouth before you speak to me!"

Despite Luffy's rude and impolite behavior, Ace felt no offense or displeasure whatsoever; instead, he laughed heartily.

He knew his younger brother, who wasn't his biological brother but was closer to him than a blood relative, all too well.

"Gurgle~!"

After listening to Ace's words, Luffy asked the shopkeeper for another drink.

Luffy took the food from the shopkeeper, who was completely dazed and clueless, and was acting like a puppet, simply following Luffy's instructions to bring him the drink. Only then did Luffy manage to swallow the food that was still in his mouth.

"I mean……"

Luffy wiped his mouth, revealing a white-toothed smile as well:

"How did you suddenly end up here?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large cloud of white smoke rose from the floor behind Ace.

"We'll talk about this later, let's get out of here first!"

Seeing this, Ace, who had already lost all will to fight Smoker after meeting Luffy, immediately grabbed Luffy and ran out of the restaurant. "This is... a dine-and-dash?!"

The restaurant owner only realized what was happening after watching Luffy and Ace walk away.

The guy who was traveling just now ate enough for several people, and his so-called younger brother also ate just as much food.

In addition to the costs of repairing damage to their restaurant, compensation for emotional distress, and other expenses...

He didn't see a single penny!

"how so……"

Looking at the mess in front of him, the restaurant owner suddenly felt an urge to cry.

"Snapped!"

Just as he was grieving, two stacks of banknotes suddenly appeared on the table in front of him.

"This should be enough for the food and compensation costs."

After throwing down two stacks of banknotes, Link and Chopper made a hasty escape before Smoker could fully emerge from the ground.

When they came out, they found that Luffy and Ace had disappeared.

"Never mind, let's go back to the place we originally agreed to meet."

Since Luffy and Ace haven't been seen, they've probably gone off somewhere.

And since the two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, it's about time they caught up properly, so let's not disturb them...

Whoosh! !

A large cloud of thick white smoke shot into the sky directly above the restaurant, then found a certain direction and flew towards it with all its might.

Okay, even if Chopper and I don't want to bother them, there are still people who are going to spoil the fun.

As Link and Chopper were traveling, a large, tornado-shaped cloud of smoke suddenly rose into the distance, accompanied by raging flames.

Has the fight already started? Smoker and Ace...

Seeing this, Link didn't delay any longer. Hearing the shouts of the people around him, he took Chopper and the other two back with him.

If Ace and Smoker were to fight, the battle would likely end quickly if neither side gained the upper hand.

However, when Link and Chopper were on their way back, they happened to see a large group of soldiers chasing a group of pirates.

And those pirates, no matter how you look at them... they all seem like the Straw Hat Pirates!

"Halt! Roronoa Zoro, the Pirate Hunter!!"

The leader of the marines was a dashing young woman who wasn't wearing a naval uniform, was holding a long sword, and was constantly shouting Zoro's name.

Yes, that typical middle-part hairstyle and black-rimmed eyes, it must be Tashigi without a doubt.

And among the group of people that Tashigi was chasing.

"Damn it, Zoro!! What did you do to that beautiful lady that he can't get her out of his mind?!"

Sanji's voice, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, came through, as if he wished he could take Sanji's place.

"What nonsense are you spouting?! We only met twice before, at the knife shop!!"

Zoro was also somewhat exasperated. "Who knows what's gotten into this female Marine? Why is she chasing me so relentlessly?!"

"How awful!!"

Sanji gritted his teeth in jealousy, "If you hadn't been recognized by that beautiful lady, we would have already calmly returned to the agreed meeting place!!"

[Thanks to 'Wow!' for the generous donation!!]

102 [Invisibility Stick]! Sanji: I was just one step away from my dream back then.

The lemon caused Sanji to change his shape, and he kept blaming Zoro.

At this point in Sanji's speech, Zoro couldn't stand it anymore and immediately retorted:

"If it weren't for you, you lecherous kappa, getting all worked up over her and so brazenly going up to flirt with her, how would she have even noticed us?!" Zoro gritted his teeth in anger at the thought, a red cross bulging on his forehead.

"If you two didn't know each other, how could there have been any problems with me and that girl having a romantic encounter?!"

"So you're a complete perverted kappa, you stinky curly-browed bastard!!"

"Do you want to die?! Green seaweed head?! Speaking of which, seaweed is actually a pretty good ingredient for cooking!!"

"Come on, try cooking one yourself! Come on!!"

Boom! !
