Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

"Ah, I just asked Link for it. It seems to be the best fishing rod among the fishing rods. It is easier to catch fish than [Effortless Fishing Rod]." Luffy grinned, and mentioned He lifted the fishing rod in his hand.

"I heard from Link that this is called [Automatic Fishing Rod]."

Props: [Automatic Fishing Rod].

Introduction: Throw it into your hand, the white glove on the front of the fishing rod will automatically find the target in the water, and after locking the target, it will grab the target and bring it to the shore.

This [Automatic Fishing Rod] and [Effortless Fishing Rod] are completely two extremes.

The former does not need to go fishing at all, just wait for the white gloves to catch the fish, and then pull up the fishing rod by yourself.

There is no need to fish but it takes effort to pull the rod.

The latter is the fish whose front end of the sucker is waiting to take the bait in the sea. They cannot take the initiative to catch the fish, but they can catch them without any effort after catching them.

Generally speaking, there are pros and cons to each.

"So there's no need to use bait at all."

As Luffy said this, he swallowed the last bite of bait hidden under his tongue, and glanced at Usopp's bait with some unfinished thoughts.

wow wow wow~

Suddenly, the fishing rod in Luffy's hand shook.

In a blink of an eye, a huge grouper was caught by white gloves.

"It's still possible to do this..."

Usopp smacked his mouth, and glanced enviously at the fishing rod in Luffy's hand.

"The props in Link's hands really have all kinds of props, even fishing rod props, there are all kinds..."

Just as Usopp finished speaking, he saw the fishing rod in Luffy's hand shaking violently again.

"Qi Helian? This is so exciting!!"

Luffy didn't pay attention, and was almost overturned into the sea with him.

"This looks like a big fish!!"

Luffy held the fishing rod firmly with one hand, and pressed the straw hat with the other, looking at the fishing line moving violently in the sea in front of him, his eyes were full of surprises.

"It looks like a big fish, we are here to help you!!"

Seeing a new prey, Usopp also put aside those other emotions, and surrounded Luffy with Chopper.

"Hard work!!"

Usopp hugged Luffy, and Chopper, who was transformed into a tall and standing human, hugged Usopp, and the three of them worked together there.

All of them were blushing and their necks were thick, and there were a lot of blue veins on their arms.

However, with the efforts of the three people, the huge fish hidden under the sea finally couldn't resist and was dragged out.

A huge black shadow streaked across the sea.

"feed?!!"

A high-pitched meow resounded throughout the sea.

"This is... a cat?!!"

Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper looked at the Neptune-like creature with one hand raised up, like a beckoning cat, all white and fat, with cat eyes.

The white glove on the front part of Luffy's fishing rod was grasping the paw of this sea king cat.

A group of people couldn't help but gape their mouths, feeling genuine novelty about this creature.

"This is our Alabasta mascot called Sea Cat〃II!"

Weiwei hurried over and asked Luffy to put away the fishing rod.

Haimao ran away in a panic, but was caught suddenly, making it not too scary for this group of people.

I feel like if I stay for a while, it may become a cat row.

Seeing Hai Mao running away, Luffy was still a bit reluctant, but thinking that he still had Feng Clay, he happily hugged the glass fish tank and chatted with Xiao Feng.

"Seeing sea cats means that we have entered the waters of Alabasta and are not far from the coast."

With Weiwei's accurate words, everyone's hearts were lifted.

Is the final destination finally arriving?

Just as the Straw Hat Pirates were slowly approaching Alabasta.

In another direction, it is also heading towards Alabasta in a certain sea area.

A warship with a seagull flag fluttering on its mast is breaking through the waves.

"Straw Hat Pirates, item master..."

At the front of the deck, there was a tall, silver-haired man with a ferocious face and downcast eyes, with three cigars in his mouth, and his tone was heavy.

Recalling the humiliation of being trapped in a small bottle that day, Smoker, who had deep impressions and unforgettable memories, couldn't help clenching his fists tightly.

"Going to Alabasta? Then there, let's settle it properly!!"

Smoker looked deeply at the sea ahead.

"But, Colonel Smoker..."

Da Siqi, a silly and cute girl wearing black-rimmed glasses, was a little hesitant:

"Alabasta is a member country of the world government, and it is also a rare powerful country in the world, and there is also Crocodile, the king of Shichibukai, there. We didn't have any instructions or greeted each other, so we just acted rashly Come closer, will you..."

Da Siqi couldn't continue speaking halfway through, because she saw Smog's death staring over him faintly.

"Alabasta is now overwhelmed by the many rebellions within the country. As for Crocodile, there is only a Shichibukai, and there is no need to report our navy's actions to Shichibukai!!"

Smoker is really at odds with these Shichibukai from the bottom of his heart, and he also knew Crocodile before, so he doesn't want to bully him.

Seeing that her persuasion was fruitless, Da Siqi could only listen to the orders silently.

The warship slowly moved towards Alabasta.

On the other side, on the sea, a small boat was also driving along.

On the small boat, sat a topless man with only a pair of black shorts and freckles on his face.

He was sitting there with a grilled fish in his hand, and he had already brought the food to his mouth, and the mouth was open, and the nostrils were still bubbling.

"Huh? Huh?"

A series of grunts came from his mouth.

From the appearance, he should have been eating and then fell asleep there.

Snapped!

The bubble burst suddenly, and the freckled man's eyes also opened.

"Ah, fell asleep again?!"

He rubbed his sleepy and sleepy eyes, then lazily raised his arm, and pressed the cowboy hat on his forehead.

On the front of the hat, the blue round crying and smiling face logo looks so special in the sun.

"Nearly there, Alabasta?"

The freckle-faced man opened his mouth to bite the grilled fish, and found that it was already cold when he fell asleep.

A ball of flames instantly rose from the fingers, wrapping the grilled fish again.

"I don't know if Lu Fei and the others will go there too... Haven't seen him for several years? I really look forward to it. It seems that he remembered something. The corner of the man's mouth with freckles raised an optimistic and warm smile.

The small boat under his feet is also slowly moving towards the direction of Alabasta.

"You mean a hero?!"

Nami confirmed that she heard correctly, and looked at Weiwei in surprise.

"Crocodile is your hero in Alabasta?"

Approaching Alabasta, no matter how much the group despised Crocodile strategically, they still had to show the most basic respect to the great pirate tactically.

Anyway, the other party can be regarded as a member of the Qiwuhai under the king.

After asking Vivi about the specific information about Crocodile, the result she got surprised everyone.

"The Qiwu Sea under the king is actually the seven big pirates selected from the navy by the world government to increase deterrence and consolidate the rule to deter the great route." Seeing the surprise of the crowd, Link followed the popular science and said:

"That is to say, these seven big pirates are all recognized by the world government. With the endorsement of the world government, the people will naturally believe a little bit." Rather than saying that the people believe that the pirates become heroes, it is better to say that they He who believes in the approval of the world government becomes a hero.

Simple pirates and Qiwuhai are actually different.

The Seven Martial Seas are like Link's past life planet, where in a certain big city, those green forest heroes who were recruited by the imperial court became Jiedushi.

They all relied on their strong soldiers and horses, or their strength, in exchange for recruitment and official status.

However, no matter how you say it, it can't change the basic fact that they are pirates in essence.

and……

"Even if he behaves with a sense of justice, it's only been less than four years?"

Suddenly, the eyes of Usopp, who had been listening all the time, were a little subtle,

"A group of citizens would rather believe in a pirate who has been with them for less than four years, but they are unwilling to believe in the royal family of Alabasta who has treated them kindly for decades or even hundreds of years...

"Are these people so stupid?"

The little Qiaoba next to him also blurted out doubts.

Indeed, according to the thinking of normal people, it is not a very abnormal thing for a pirate to become a partner of justice, must there be some tricks?

Moreover, the Neferitaru royal family of Alabasta has been conscientiously and diligently managing the country for so many years, bringing comfort and peace to the people.

result?~~

Can hundreds of years of sincerity be exchanged for a pirate's four-year disguise? ! !

To be honest, even Link can't describe what the citizens of Alabasta think.

It can only be said that they are too stupid...so simple.

And most importantly, the royal family of Neferitaru didn't notice anything wrong.

Afterwards, after the riots occurred in the country, no effective actions were taken.

For such a royal family, kindness is kindness, but...

"It just seems a little too useless."

This sentence was a bit too hurtful, Link kept it in his heart and didn't say it.

Weiwei could only show a forced smile. The national opinion, she is really not easy to evaluate as a princess.

"In other words, the root of the problem is Crocodile, right?"

When Sanji was thinking about the problem, he still lit a cigarette for himself first.

"It's pretending to be a hero on the surface to gain support, but also secretly forming a secret criminal company to frame you and cause national turmoil and rebellion." The problems are all solved, right? "

"??' If you analyze it this way, it is indeed the case."

Nami nodded slightly.

"As long as you cut him (fly him), you'll be fine."

Luffy and Zoro, two guys with very simple ideas, only have this idea in their minds.

But this is also a very direct, brutal, and most trouble-free way to solve problems.

Of course, the difficulty is almost the most difficult path.

"It would be great if we could quell the rebellion without fighting, let the citizens realize the true face of Crocodile, and drive the Baroque Works out at that time."

Weiwei also sat down and hugged her legs, still holding unrealistic fantasies there.

She was still unwilling to face the reality, and it was not until she was in Yuba that she was completely awakened by Luffy's sentence "There is no war where people will not die".

Thus realizing the cruelty of reality and becoming mature.

In other words, before the new world, Luffy was completely wise and foolish, and he knew very practical truths.

It is even said that in some respects, he is similar to Nohara Shinnosuke, just as sensible and gentle.
