One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Upon seeing Morgan's arrival, Helmeppo, who had been hiding, immediately felt like he had found a backer and was no longer afraid of Red and the others. He scrambled towards Morgan.

As he ran, he cried out:

"Kill them! Dad! Kill them!"

However, what awaited Bellumber was a fierce flying kick!

Peng!

Monka delivered a powerful kick to Bellemere, sending him flying.

"Ugh..."

Bellemere let out a scream, looked up, and saw only Monka's cold and unfamiliar gaze.

"Useless trash! How dare you bring criminals into the base without authorization!"

"You'll remember this..."

"Your dad's in charge here, which means it's me, the old man!!!"

"You are nothing!!!"

After disciplining his dispensable son, Monka finally refocused his attention on Crimson and the others.

"Speak! You lot, how do you want to die!?"

"Die!?" Luffy grinned. "I won't die until I become the Pirate King!"

As he spoke, he raised his fist, preparing to attack.

But just then!

"Wait a minute, Luffy, Zoro!"

Red suddenly released Nami, stepped forward, and said to the two of them:

"I'll take care of this guy today!"

"Perfect timing, I'd like to try out this new move!"

"Huh?" Luffy exclaimed in surprise.

This was the first time he had ever heard of Crimson actively recruiting fighters.

After thinking for a moment, he immediately nodded: "Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Crimson."

In Luffy's memory, although Red is so weak that he can't even beat the 5-meter-tall black bear behind the mountain, he usually doesn't get hurt.

He was quite reassured about that.

Upon hearing this, Zoro, who had been itching to draw his sword, also abandoned his intention to do so.

"Alright, then let me see just how capable my first mate really is!"

"That might disappoint you, since my skills don't lie in fighting."

Red smiled as he answered Zoro, then walked up to Morgan.

"Kid? Are you going to be the first one to die?"

Seeing Crimson step forward, Monka immediately brandished his axe-wielding hand, pointing the sharp blade at Crimson.

Crimson completely ignored Monka's intentions and simply waved his hand at him.

"Primal Power!"

In an instant, an energy that seemed to come from ancient times emerged from the crimson body and quickly materialized into rough-surfaced rocks.

As soon as these rocks appeared, they shot out and crashed straight down on Monka.

"What is this!? Magic!?"

At this moment, a question inevitably flashed through everyone's mind.

Monka, who was targeted for attack, was even worse off.

However, the rocks in the air gave him absolutely no time to think.

boom!!!……

The rock, like a cannonball, suddenly struck Monka's body, causing a violent explosion!

Other rocks followed in quick succession, all in the same manner.

Under the powerful impact, Morgan's body was sent flying backward, smashing through the solid walls of the naval base and falling from the sky.

Sold out instantly!

"Gulp~!"

A clear swallowing sound rang out from all the naval soldiers.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing!

With just one strike, their naval captain was defeated!?

is that a lie!

For a moment, all the naval personnel fell silent.

But after a short while...

pat.

A long spear was thrown to the ground.

Immediately afterward, the rest of the navy followed suit, throwing all their weapons to the ground and then inexplicably cheering.

"Very good!!!"

"Liberated! Monka has been defeated!"

"Yay! Finally, I'm no longer at Morgan's mercy!!!"

Long live freedom!!!

"........."

"........."

Cheers and celebrations erupted from the marines, leaving Zoro and the others speechless.

Even the oblivious Luffy couldn't quite understand the Navy's actions.

What's going on with them?

"Hehe, maybe it's because I've been oppressed by Monka for too long," Crimson replied nonchalantly.

"Looks like there's no battle to fight." Zoro walked over, looking indignant. "What a disappointment! I thought we were going to have a big fight!"

"Oh? You're really keen on making a big splash?"

Red suddenly looked at him with a mischievous grin, causing Zoro to freeze for a moment, but he still forced himself to speak:

"Of course I want to..."

"very good!"

Crimson clapped his hands slowly with anticipation and laughed:

"In that case, you can use the Navy's facilities for a bit, and you and Luffy can have a real fight!!!"

Just when I was worried about not having a chance to show off my skills as a trainer, Zoro delivered himself right to my doorstep!

Hopefully, even after being completely overwhelmed by Luffy, you can still be as strong as you are now, young Zoro!

Chapter 14 The Straw Hat Pirates are officially formed! (Please read on!)

It was noon.

A gentle breeze and perfect sunshine.

On the parade ground of the 153rd Naval Base.

After looting Morgan's savings and treasures, Red brought Luffy and the other two back to this open space.

The cross that bound Zoro had been quietly removed by the sensible marines, and even the hole had been filled in.

Seeing this, both Zoro and Red showed satisfied smiles.

Only Nami, who had been forcibly dragged over, looked indignant.

"Seriously, why give so much money to the navy?!"

"Don't they receive subsidies from the World Government?!"

"That's a whopping 500 million Berries!!!"

"If you don't want it, you can give it to me!!!"

Nami muttered under her breath, but in reality, she was puzzled by Red's actions.

Chi Hong, who understood the meaning behind her words, turned around and smiled slightly:

"It's just 500 million Berries, don't worry about that little bit of money, Nami."

"Look at our team! We could easily make hundreds of millions anywhere!"

“That naval lieutenant commander is a local of Shellstown, I believe he will make good use of this money.”

"Don't you think it's worth it to use 500 million Berries to give the residents of Shells Town some comfort in advance?"

"I don't think so!" Nami pouted and answered without hesitation, fully demonstrating her money-grubbing nature.

But no one knows what she really thinks.

However, when she looked at the crimson figure, a look of surprise clearly appeared in her eyes.

What a strange fellow—a pirate who'd actually give away money!

……

……

"Alright, now that our team is taking shape, it's time for a formal self-introduction."
