Voyage: Prop Master on the Straw Hat

You can actually plan something carefully, and~

I just happen to have the tools for this…

“Ahhhhhh, bang!!”

Just as Link was thinking this, he heard Phillip’s screams suddenly stop and the sound of his body falling to the ground.

“Please pay the tax, three hundred and fifty thousand beli!!”

The [Tax Bird], which had just completed a course of treatment for Philip, strictly continued its tax collection behavior.

“You…don’t…think!!”

However, Philip, who was obsessed with money and valued taxes more than his own life, could not let go so easily.

Even though he opened his mouth and blew out several puffs of black smoke, his eyes were white from the electric shock, and his body was a little black and scorched, he still held his neck and refused stubbornly.

Well, this is the master who really wants money rather than his life.

However, his resistance was meaningless.

[Tax Bird] This time it was just a notice and not an inquiry, so there was no room for him to refuse again.

And~

In his current state, he has no ability to refuse.

“Pay the tax, three hundred and fifty thousand beli!”

I saw that [Tax Bird] didn’t care about Philip’s reply at all, and without anyone else, he inserted his suction tube-like mouth into the big bag full of money carried by the soldier behind Philip.

Gululu~

A whole big bag of money was all sucked into its square box body by [Tax Bird], and there was no visible change at all! !

“The estimated amount is 500,000 beli, the tax paid is 350,000 beri, and the change is 150,000 beri!”

With that said, [Tax Bird] pointed his butt at Phillip.

With a few “cries”, a wad of remaining banknotes spat out from his box body and hit Phillip’s almost unconscious face that was electrocuted.

The diners next to him couldn’t help but shrink their heads while enduring the joyful mood in their hearts.

This thing called [Tax Bird] is too cruel.

“Lord Philip!!”

When the soldiers from the collection team brought by Philip saw this scene, they were so numb that they did not dare to move forward and could only shout from a distance.

I’m afraid that if I get too close, I’ll be taxed or receive electric shock treatment…

It’s a pity that the tax collection team, which is so feared on this island and collects other people’s taxes, is now reduced to being taxed by others and is too frightened to step forward.

It can be said that it is the reincarnation of heaven, who will be spared by heaven!

Every cause must have its effect, and your retribution is…ahem! !

“Can someone actually collect taxes from Philip?!”

Dr. Henzo next to him also looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

He first looked at the [Tax Bird], and then at Link and the others.

My heart was suddenly filled with the desire to study this [Tax Bird].

[Tax Bird]’s actions really left a deep impression on everyone present.

But if they think that [Tax Bird] only has this function, they are totally wrong.

In addition to getting tax money from them, [Tax Bird] can also go to their homes to pay taxes on their savings! !

In other words, not only this time’s income, but also their past accumulations and savings will be traced! !

This is simply worse than robbery! !

I saw the [Tax Bird] hovering in the air for a while, and then quickly flew in a certain direction.

“Let’s go and have a look too!!”

Luffy stuffed the large plate of pasta into his mouth, patted his stomach, and said to Link and Robin when Usopp took out his wallet to pay.

The two of them were doing their best, with Luffy in the front and Usopp in the back after paying the money. The four of them chased the [Tax Bird] together.

When Dr. Henzo saw this scene, he immediately followed a few people and ran out together.

At this time, Nami, Sanji, and Chopper, the three of them had just finished shopping and were walking forward carrying kitchen supplies, medical books, and various styles of clothes, carrying large and small bags.

“Is this shopping?”

Chopper stuck out his tongue, looked at Nami who was full of energy, and couldn’t help but admire:

“Nami, your physical strength is really good~!”

“As a lady, shopping is instinctive!!” Nami smiled and pursed her lips.

“Hey~ Miss Nami, if you want to go shopping, I will accompany you even to hell!!!”

Sanji’s eyes were filled with red stars, and he raised his arms high with the large and small bags in his hands, his face full of high morale.

“Hey, I’m talking about you!!”

Just when the three of them had gained a lot and were in a good mood, a guy who made a big splash suddenly appeared in front of them.

“Are you just the unruly people who refuse to pay taxes at the port?!”

The man was wearing a technological suit that looked like a robot from Metal Slug. Under the technological suit, he had a face that was very similar to Philip’s and more like a monkey. He was showing off his power:

“This uncle is Lake, the grandson of Chief Witton. He specializes in collecting taxes from unruly people. Why don’t you take out the taxes quickly!!”

・・Please give me flowers……

As he spoke, he controlled the technology suit and bumped his fist there, and a lot of electricity suddenly appeared on it.

“Did you see that, led by my uncle, the power force can make the whole body covered with electric current!!”

He introduced it proudly, and then heard a voice above his head:

“Rake, the current amount is 820,000 beli, and with a tax of 70%, it’s 574,000 beri!!” Lake: “???”

He looked up in confusion, and saw a guy in the sky that looked like a robot bird fluttering above his head. “What it is?!”

Lake asked doubtfully.

“The [Tax Bird] is there! Ah, there are Sanji, Nami and the others!!” Luffy and the others followed the Tax Bird and arrived at the scene.

When they arrived, they found Sanji and Chopper, as well as a strange-looking guy lying in front of them.

“What is this??”

Luffy tilted his head and looked at the thing that fell to the ground, already charred into a pitch-black mass, with some confusion.

“Is this a human being? It feels like there is still a bit of a living person…”

Robin held his face with one hand, “I hope he won’t die just like that.”

“You started that horrible association again Robin…”

Usopp subconsciously followed suit.

“It should be done by [Tax Bird] too, right?”

He raised his eyes and looked at the charred black object, “But was its current so strong just now?”

…

“There should be another electrical device~”

Link saw not far away, the guy who looked like a power trooper who was swaying around, also turned black, with his head raised.

“There was already a lot of current, and coupled with the [Tax Bird]’s ability to capture light, it was obviously overloaded and exploded…”

His guess there was almost accurate, and what happened just now was exactly as he imagined.

“It’s really a very powerful [Tax Bird], with its ability to collect taxes…”

Usopp smacked his lips and looked with admiration at the [Tax Bird] that hovered in the air for two times and then flew in a certain direction.

Judging from the direction of its flight, it seems to be at the highest point of the island. At that place, there is a luxurious and majestic looking building.

It seems to be the place where the chief here lives.

That’s where Director Witton lives…wait? !

Usopp suddenly realized that just now this [Tax Bird] had collected the taxes of Witton’s son, and just now it had collected the taxes of his grandson Lake, as the people watching around him said.

So now, it is rushing directly towards the Chief Minister’s mansion, so is it planning to collect taxes from Chief Minister Witton? !

This is really a neatly organized family of three generations, with no one missing at all! !

Usopp was there calling him good guy.

But before he could finish his emotion, the onlookers next to him started making heated discussions again.

I saw a huge red tauren ship, a dilapidated ship, slowly sailing out from the sea, a mist like a rainbow gradually rising up.

“That is… the colorful mist!!!”

The old man named Henzo suddenly jumped out with a strange instrument on his back, staring at the fog in the distance.

The colorful mist that he had been studying for fifty years and waiting for for fifty years finally appeared again! ! !

Near Lulujia Island, there is a wonderful sea area, where a mysterious fog once appeared, called the Colorful Fog.

The Colorful Mist is said to be the garden where the gods live, the entrance to Eldrad’s Golden Kingdom.

Although this is just a legend, I don’t know how many adventurers have embarked on a journey to find the Colorful Mist after hearing this legend for the so-called [Gods] and the legend of [Golden Kingdom].

Thanks to the persistent exploration of many adventurers over the years, many people really happened to catch up with the appearance of the looming colorful fog and found the location of the colorful fog.

It’s just~

No one who went in came out alive.

The colorful fog on Lurujia Island has a long history and has existed for a very long time.

Even after the World Government was established, they heard about this legend and sent people to investigate.

However, limited records show that when this fog first appeared, countless navy pirates and adventurers went in to explore, and only a few human corpses came out.

Cargo ship adventure, share of the adventure! ! You’re not stupid, you even know how to borrow props…

Among the people who came out at that time, some lost half their lives, others remained the same, and one even became a teenager. Their statements were completely different, as if they were talking nonsense.

Some people say that they have gone back to the past, some people say that they have entered the future, and some people say that time inside is completely still… There are different opinions.

However, this aroused people’s curiosity more and more.

After that, the World Government once again sent people in to explore its secrets, but no one came out.

Some pirates who did not believe in evil rushed in with the entire ship and completely disappeared on the sea. Over time, this place became a forbidden place and was known as the “graveyard of ships that never returned.”

No one knows what secrets are hidden in the colorful mist, but both the navy and the world government have lost interest in this strange place.

In fact, the colorful mist is actually a different space where time and space stop, and time is still in it.

It also connects the past and the future. People from different eras can meet here, which is very magical.

The time inside is still distorted. People who enter it may become octogenarians when they come out the next moment. They may never come out again, or even go back to the past and move into the future.

“Sounds interesting~”

While Luffy was listening to Link’s explanation of the colorful mist, his eyes suddenly lit up! !

“Such an interesting place is so rare to come across, so I definitely can’t let it go!!”

Luffy waved his arms, very eager to try! !

“Hey, Luffy, that’s the [Cemetery of Ships That Go and Never Return], shouldn’t it be scary in there?!”

Usopp swallowed, “Are we really going there?!”

“Why not “643”?!”

Luffy turned to face Usopp: “I smell adventure.”

Usopp: “…”
