Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 422: Twenty Thousand Pirates (asking for monthly ticket~)

"Haha, wait until that time comes before you say such things!"

Kaido, who was also acting, knew that at this moment he could neither admit defeat nor be too submissive, otherwise the Straw Hat Pirates would definitely notice something unusual.

But in his heart he secretly sneered.

"Huh! You are such a daydreamer young man."

"If the Final Island was really that easy to find, the position of Pirate King wouldn't have been vacant for so many years."

"But it doesn't matter... After today, the Straw Hat Pirates will become a stepping stone for the Beasts to dominate the world!"

In the end, under Luffy's pretended stupid persuasion, both Red and Kaido humbled themselves.

Taking advantage of the previous cooperation, Luffy also invited Kaido to attend the banquet.

During the banquet, Kaido and others inadvertently mentioned Hawkeye, and then they learned about Hawkeye's current situation from Akame...

He suddenly fainted for unknown reasons and was seriously injured. If he didn't find a famous doctor to treat him as soon as possible, he would most likely be on the verge of death.

only……

"Why should we save him? After he dies, Zoro will be the world's greatest swordsman..."

"By then, I don't know how many people in this world will come here to join us and lay the foundation for us to seize power in this world!"

At this moment, in the eyes of Kaido and others, the Straw Hat Pirates were like a group of lunatics who had succeeded in their ambitions and were so arrogant that they could not stand up to the world.

Although he despised the Straw Hat Pirates' childish ideas, he felt happy again when he heard that Hawkeye was not far from death.

There was nothing unexpected about the power of the Overlord virus.

Even a guy like Hawkeye couldn't withstand the power of the virus, who else in this world could resist them! ?
Kaido is not so arrogant as to dominate the world with just a virus.

There are many smart people in this world, and there are also many great doctors.

Sooner or later, their virus will be cracked.

But when that day comes... it will be after the Beasts Pirates become the Pirate King!

"Wolf woof woof..."

At the banquet, Kaido raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it in a pretending manner.

Night falls.

The brilliant night sky casts starlight on the land of Celebration Island, and the spots of light make the island look no longer so desolate.

Thanks to Sanji's efforts, the banquet lasted from day to night without any sign of stopping.

Uta and Brooke sang in unison, bringing the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax.

Luffy, Usopp and Chopper also stuck chopsticks into their noses and mouths and danced a traditional and funny weird dance.

At this moment, the Straw Hat Pirates even forgot the existence of Kaido and others and enjoyed the banquet to the fullest.

The entire Merry was filled with laughter.

But at this moment, a group of unexpected guests interrupted the banquet.

"Please everyone from the Straw Hat Pirates, save us!!!"

boom! ! !
More than 20 pirates with bounties over 100 million, led by Helding, suddenly knelt in front of the Merry and shouted loudly, asking for help from the Straw Hat Pirates.

After hearing the voice, Chi Hong and the others had to stop the banquet and went to the railing to look down curiously.

Although Helding was a giant, he was also kneeling on the ground at this time, and his overall height did not exceed the hull of the Merry.

But even so, despite his huge stature, he can be considered the most handsome guy present.

"Eh?! Aren't you the giants who were at today's celebration? What happened?!"

Luffy, who doesn't think much, doesn't realize the difficulties these pirates are facing at the moment, but his friendly impression of the giants makes him want to help Heldin in front of him.

"Lord Luffy!"

Hearing Luffy's voice, the pirates below immediately raised their heads, revealing pairs of pitiful eyes.

There is no way out, they are now in a desperate situation!

The ships they depended on for survival were destroyed by Barrett, and the island was surrounded by naval warships.

Although the navy may be afraid of the existence of the Straw Hat Pirates and dare not land to fight, judging from the expressions of those warships, they also have no intention of leaving. Instead, they surround the entire island more tightly.

Once the Straw Hat Pirates leave here, one can imagine what will happen to these pirates!

Maybe it is even possible to cleanse the island directly according to the specifications of the Demon-Slaying Order.

Do not!
This is no longer a simple Demon Slayer Order, but a warship ten times more powerful than the Demon Slayer Order...

They simply could not afford such artillery bombardment.

So after several prestigious captains discussed it and determined that there was little hope of forcing their way in, they finally had no choice but to come to the Straw Hat Pirates for help.

In just a few words, the leader Helding explained his demands to Luffy and others.

After hearing this, Luffy immediately expressed his opinion:
"Ah, why are you so unlucky?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chi Hong beside him and asked:

"Red, what do you say we should do? Should we help them!?"

Luffy knew that Red seemed to have some plan for these pirates, but he didn't know what the specific plan was.

So even though he wanted to help, he didn't agree directly.

At this time, Chihong's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing an interested smile.

"Want to ask us for help!?"

He looked at the pirates below with a frivolous look, and then said slowly:

"We are all in this ocean together. You should know clearly that we have no obligation to help you."

"Besides, I'm sure you have seen our military strength, and I don't think you have the guts to blackmail us morally."

"So...what can we gain by helping you!?"

"This……"

The pirates raised their heads, but were not disappointed by Chihong's profit-seeking tone. Instead, there was a gleam of expectation in their eyes.

After all, as long as there is something to talk about, there is hope.

At this moment, Caribou, who was standing next to Hailding, suddenly stood up.

He was lucky. Although he suffered a lot of injuries in the previous riots, he did not die directly.

Then, his body began to wriggle and turned into a dynamic quagmire.

The next moment, a short figure tied up with seastone chains was spit out directly from the swamp body.

Caribou gave a flattering smile.

"Dear members of the Straw Hat Pirates, this is a small gift from us. Please accept it."

As he spoke, Caribou squatted down and pulled up the short guy so that his face could be seen by the Straw Hat guys.

Although this person's face was covered in blood and bruises, Chi Hong and the others still recognized him immediately...

The promoter of the celebration who once appeared in the newspaper and is also the founder of this Pirate Celebration - Festa!

"Damn...damn..."

Perhaps because he was not trapped in the swamp for a long time, Festa was not mentally affected much except for his body being imprisoned.

When he saw the Straw Hat Pirates who had messed up the celebration, his already ugly and twisted face suddenly became even more hideous. "Damn you Straw Hat Pirates!!! You deserve to die!!! You deserve to die!!!"

Peng! ! !
"Just shut up, you idiot! You have no right to speak here!!!"

Caribou kicked Festa in the mouth, then turned around and rubbed his hands together like flies again, smiling flatteringly without saying a word.

At this moment, a rustling sound came from behind him again.

After experiencing a riot, Cavendish, still dressed neatly, dragged an unconscious figure to the bottom of the Merry ship and threw it next to Festa.

Without even seeing his face, Chi Hong and the others knew from his sturdy figure...

This guy is the devil's offspring Barrett who was just defeated by Luffy!
"Oh? I was planning to look for him tomorrow, but I didn't expect you guys to find him for us."

"You guys... did a great job!"

Hearing Chihong's praise, the flattering look on Caribou's face instantly became more intense.

"Hahaha...it's my honor to be able to serve you adults!"

"I just don't know if I will have the opportunity to continue to serve you in the future."

"You are quite smart."

Hearing Caribou's words, Chihong immediately looked at him with amusement.

Although this guy is a complete villain in the original story, he also believes in the true pirate style of Blackbeard, who does whatever he wants.

But now Blackbeard may have already started queuing up to be reincarnated. If Cabri wants to rebel, he doesn't know who to find.

And the more such guys there are, the more obedient they are.

Under the expectant gazes of the pirates, Chihong smiled and waved.

"Well, gather all your men here before daybreak, and we will take you back to the sea then."

"Thank you, Master Red!!! Thank you, Master Luffy!!! Thank you to everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates!!!"

After hearing this, Caribou immediately bowed his head and worshipped, shouting loudly as he did so.

Influenced by him, the pirates who originally still had some backbone had no choice but to follow his example and kneel down to the Straw Hat Pirates in order to survive.

"Ha ha……"

Chihong chuckled, then stopped paying attention to the pirates below and said to his companions:
"Well, don't let this little incident affect our party."

"Usopp, send some bugs over there to contain Barrett."

"As for Festa, he's just a poor guy abandoned by the times. Let's just send him to see Roger."

"Ok."

Faced with a guy who treated thousands of pirates as a ladder to god, Usopp didn't have any extra kindness to waste on Festa.

As the two insects flew out of his body, they quickly completed the task assigned by Chihong.

The interrupted banquet continued.

Kaido and the others who saw all this chuckled in their hearts.

"From what Red said, it seems that he wants to recruit these pirates under his command!?"

"How ridiculous!"

"I can't wait to see your sickness tomorrow."

Thinking of this, the corners of Kaido's mouth slightly raised.

Unfortunately, Caesar and Quinn only developed a vaccine to prevent the Overlord virus, but did not develop a treatment.

Otherwise, he could just intercept and recruit a group of powerful subordinates here.

Forget it.

There isn’t much else in the New World, but there are pirates everywhere, so there’s nothing to be sad about!
Just like that, with Kaido expecting something, the seemingly ordinary night passed in a joyful atmosphere.

In the blink of an eye, it was early morning of the next day.

The captains of those pirate groups also followed the agreement and gathered all the surviving pirates near the Merry as scheduled.

The noisy noise soon woke up the straw hat people who were sleeping on the deck.

Usopp propped himself up sleepily and looked outside the ship puzzledly, wanting to see who was disturbing his sweet dreams.

But the next second, his eyes suddenly widened and he woke up.

"Everyone... don't sleep anymore!!!"

"Everyone wake up!!!"

Usopp stood up in a panic and hurriedly woke up the others on the deck.

Even Kaido and others who were pretending to be asleep were affected and slowly opened their eyes.

The next moment, Usopp ran quickly to Red's side and shouted:

"Red, those pirates yesterday... those pirates..."

"Oh, those guys from the giant tribe."

Red interrupted Usopp before he could finish his words.

As a strong person with strong perception, even when he is sleeping, he can still feel the pirates coming from all directions of the island.

However, these pirates posed no threat or hostility to them, so they naturally would not trigger the subconscious alarm of Chihong and others.

Seeing Usopp's panic, Red couldn't help but sigh to him:

"By the way, Usopp, you are a man who can control billions of Zerg and has experienced many wars..."

"Why are you still so flustered~"

"Ah...hahahaha...this is really exciting."

Usopp smiled shyly.

There's nothing I can do about it, that's just his personality.

Like Luffy, no matter what his identity becomes, no matter how strong he becomes, he will always maintain his original character.

Even if this is not a very good mentality.

Chihong shook his head helplessly, then walked to the railing and looked down.

He immediately understood why Usopp suddenly became so panicked.

As the saying goes, above a thousand people the sky is limitless, above ten thousand people the earth is connected to the sky.

Although countless pirates were killed or injured in the previous riots.

But even so, there are so many pirates coming to participate in the celebration this time!
Even though many pirates died, the number of pirates gathered around the Merry at this moment exceeded 20,000!
This number has even surpassed the total number of pirates in the Straw Hat Pirates today!

If they could absorb all of this power, the Straw Hat Pirates' manpower shortage problem in the New World would be greatly alleviated.

Even if we double the scope of the Pokémon Sea, it won't be a problem!!!
"This Pirate Festival is really interesting~"

Chihong subconsciously glanced at Kaido who was pretending not to know what was going on, then grinned and snickered.

He was not afraid that these pirates would be unwilling to join the Pokémon Pirates.

After all, with Kaido as a huge helper, as long as these pirates want to survive and continue sailing on the sea...

Then joining the Straw Hat Pirates is their only choice!
