One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Our top priority is to make the Navy aware of Blackbeard's plot, and we must not give him the chance to enter Impel Down!"

"Nami, I'll leave this to you."

"Tell Smoker about this. Although he's only a colonel, he's one of the Navy's key personnel and still has connections with high-ranking figures within the Navy."

Red plans to strike at Blackbeard's core, cutting off his hopes of a comeback.

He was lucky to escape last time, but the next time we meet, it will definitely be his death day!

Therefore, he could not give Blackbeard any more chances!

"Then there's the matter with the Whitebeard Pirates..."

Chi Hong stared at the contents recorded on the whiteboard, his tone shifting again, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

Whether Whitebeard lives or dies makes little difference to him.

While Red respected Whitebeard's heroic spirit and loyalty, he also respected everyone's different fate.

However... Whitebeard's life or death is tied to Ace, and Ace, in turn, is tied to Luffy...

Therefore, he now has a reason to be involved in this matter.

Furthermore, based on Tina's description, the fact that the Navy could tolerate Blackbeard's existence and actions so much suggests that he must have offered conditions and intelligence that satisfied the Navy.

After all, neither Fleet Admiral Sengoku nor the mid-to-high-ranking officers of the navy were blind or stupid.

They wouldn't allow someone with obvious ulterior motives to move freely within their system unless the conditions were right.

The Navy has now intercepted Whitebeard's communication signals.

It cannot be ruled out that the Navy might launch an attack on Whitebeard's territory or pirate crew based on the intelligence provided by Blackbeard, in order to weaken the Whitebeard Pirates' power.

"We need to find a way to tie down the navy!"

Thinking of this, his crimson eyes flashed wildly.

At the same time, countless memories and information about anime surfaced in his mind.

After a long while, his eyes suddenly flashed, and then he abruptly slapped the whiteboard with his pen, bursting into laughter as he said:

"Got it!!!"

"I've thought of a way to quickly tie down naval forces!!!"

As he spoke, he suddenly swept his gaze across his companions, finally settling on Luffy and Ace, and said:

"Given the current situation, neither going to the New World to help the Whitebeard Pirates nor waiting for news from them is a good option!"

The Navy's plan to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates has been going on for quite some time.

Now that they have finally acquired Blackbeard as a key player and can also use him as an intelligence operative, they will certainly not miss this opportunity.

"In that case... rather than waiting to be killed, we should take the initiative!"

The smile on his flushed face gradually grew wild, as if reflecting his excited heart, and he said to the crowd:

"If war is inevitable, why should we wait until the navy fires the first shot?!"

"Why don't we just start the war ourselves?!"

Chapter 165 Celestial Dragons' Live Execution (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

In the flickering firelight, under the astonished gazes of Ace and Robin, Crimson slowly wrote three large characters on the whiteboard…

Celestial Dragons!!!

"Wait a minute!" Realizing that things had taken a turn for the worse, Ace abruptly stopped Crimson, who was preparing to explain the plan.

He looked on incredulously and shocked, and asked Crimson in bewilderment:

"Red, when you said you wanted to seize the initiative in the war... did you mean... the Celestial Dragons!?"

"That's right!"

Crimson immediately nodded in response: "This is the best method I can think of to tie down a large number of naval forces in a short period of time!"

"This……"

Upon hearing Crimson's audacious idea, even Ace, a guy known for his courage, was momentarily speechless.

After all, in this world order that has lasted for eight hundred years, the perception that "the Celestial Dragons' status is above all else" has long been ingrained in people's bones.

Although Ace wasn't afraid of Celestial Dragons either, he knew very well...

Once Red makes this decision, the future of the Straw Hat crew will be shrouded in darkness.

"Crimson, do you know what you're saying?"

Ace asked in surprise.

But Crimson's gaze was resolute as she met his eyes directly and answered earnestly:

"Of course! If I didn't know, how could I have come up with this plan!"

He then turned his gaze back to his companions and addressed them:

"I already explained the information about the Celestial Dragons to you a long time ago."

"I'm sure you can all guess what I'm going to say next."

"The seriousness of the problem is now clear to everyone. Now, let's share our thoughts!"

"And then there's Luffy..."

"If the plan is really decided, then our pirate crew will be caught in a full-scale siege by the World Government and the Navy in the future."

"The CP organization is full of powerful figures, the three admirals of the Navy have world-destroying power, and it is even possible that the mysterious Five Elders will appear on the scene."

"Even I am not absolutely certain that I can lead everyone to escape safely from these guys."

"This could very well affect our future adventures, and the path for you and everyone to achieve your dreams will become even more difficult and challenging."

"I hope you can think this through."

"Is it really necessary for us to take such a big risk for a Whitebeard Pirates crew that might become our future rival?"

"........."

Under Red's admonition, Luffy slowly lowered his head, letting his straw hat cover his eyes.

After a long pause, Luffy finally spoke again: "Ace... he's my brother..."

He didn't answer Crimson's question directly, but instead suddenly turned his gaze to his companions and said with utmost seriousness:

"I'm sorry, everyone!"

"I might... have to be impulsive this time!"

Under normal circumstances, given Luffy's personality, he would never get involved in Ace's affairs.

After all, everyone has their own adventures and life.

From the moment they emerged, they had to face all the challenges of fate for the pirate flags they carried.

However, after learning that Ace might die because of this incident, Luffy had to change his initial thoughts.

If what Red says is true, Ace will be ambushed by the Marines on his way to support Whitebeard and face the danger of death...

He couldn't remain indifferent and continue his adventure!

The Straw Hat crew seemed to have anticipated this.

"You little brat, you actually know you can be willful?!"

Suddenly, Nami glanced at Luffy with a reproachful look.

However, she then continued:

"But I'll let it go this time."

"After all, I've long been used to your capriciousness."

"It sounds like the road ahead is really bumpy."

Zoro, standing to the side, chuckled and rubbed his chin.

"But... if I can't even defeat these guys, I won't be able to become the world's greatest swordsman, will I!?"

"Since that's the case, I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and go for it!"

Anyway, he had already anticipated this day would come back when he was in the East China Sea.

I just never expected this day to come so quickly and so suddenly!

"Brother, huh~"

Sanji, who placed great importance on the word "family," lit a cigarette, a strange glint in his eyes.

After a moment, he exhaled a smoke ring and slowly said:

"There's no other way. If it's for Luffy's family, then this is the only option."

That's exactly what I meant!

Usopp, trembling, continued, "Besides, Ace is also considered our friend."

"How could I, a brave sea warrior, not help my friend in need!"

"Oh right... I think I'm running low on ammo..."

"Damn it! Wapol and Jem have been slacking off lately, I need to give them more work!"

Thinking about the tough battle that was about to begin, Usopp, who had already become a successful capitalist, didn't wait for the meeting to end before taking out his Den Den Mushi and going to a corner to arrange work with his research assistants.

At this moment, among everyone present, only Chopper still looked completely bewildered.

Although he didn't know what Celestial Dragons were, nor did he know what the future held, seeing the others express their opinions, he quickly patted his chest and said:

"Although I don't know exactly what happened, please feel free to ask if you need my help!!!"

After saying that, Chopper proudly raised his head and pointed his large antlers behind him.

At this moment, he felt incredibly manly, like a tough guy!

"Looks like... I really was overreacting."
