One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Barto's eyes lit up with excitement, then his gaze shifted to the trembling Bucky.

"……ah!?"

Although he chose to join the Straw Hat crew for a greater ambition, Buggy never imagined that this day would come so soon, especially since he was the one who started it all...

But under the repeated calls of "senior" from his little fanboy Barto, he could only force a smile and then cross his arms to appear calm.

"Hmph... Hmph!"

"Of course!"

"As a newcomer, all you need to do is learn and observe carefully!"

"Yes, Buggy-senpai!"

As the saying goes, "love me, love my dog," at this point, Bucky had clearly developed a straw hat filter in Barto's eyes.

Mr. 3 and Alvida, who were standing behind the two, couldn't help but exchange a glance upon hearing this conversation.

Seeing the helplessness and fear in each other's eyes, the two sighed in unison and shook their heads.

What kind of terrible things have they done?!

Kidnapping a Celestial Dragon!?

Is this really something that these insignificant people could do?!

For a moment, both of them couldn't help but feel the urge to escape their respective pirate crews.

but……

The two looked at the two men in front of them again.

Mr. 3 reminisces about being rescued by Buggy, and how he naturally became a member of Buggy's pirate crew.

If he leaves now, will he go back to being that special agent assassin who has to be careful not to fail his mission and get assassinated?

As Alvida watched Barto's retreating figure, she thought of the formidable enemies and dangers she had encountered along the way...

If she leaves the Barto Pirates now, she might have a hard time returning to the East Blue alive!

"Ah~"

The two sighed in unison.

In the end, they still walked forward with their respective captains.

Perhaps they were just lucky.

Just yesterday, not long after Bucky hung up the phone, they saw a Celestial Dragon riding on a slave swaggering across the street.

He then stopped a circus troupe performing nearby and ordered them to perform for him at his hotel the next day.

And so, they raided the circus that very night, stole their professional props, and disguised themselves as a circus to arrive there.

After all, the Buggy Pirates are based on a circus, and the Barto Pirates are a bunch of gaudily dressed, flamboyant young men...

Having them play circuses is practically a natural fit for them!

When they entered the hotel lobby, they were not even checked at all, and were directly led into the hotel by the Celestial Dragons' bodyguards.

At this moment, the right time, the right place, and the right people all converged around Bucky and his group.

It was as if even God was helping them.

……

……

at the same time.

Shortly after Bucky and his group entered the hotel, a blind swordsman wearing wooden clogs and simple ronin attire suddenly emerged from a casino in the distance.

This person is none other than Fujitora Issho, the future naval admiral who chose to close his eyes because he did not want to see the evil in the world.

Of course, right now he's just a gambler who's slightly better than average.

It has no connection whatsoever with the navy.

"...The target is the Celestial Dragons?"

A smile appeared on her lips as she stood at the casino entrance, murmuring softly.

Although he cannot see the world, he has developed a powerful Observation Haki far exceeding that of ordinary people, allowing him to observe the world in a different way.

And unfortunately...

Bucky and Barto thought they were having a private conversation, but Yi Xiao overheard everything.

"The Straw Hat Pirates, if I remember correctly..."

"They must be rookie pirates who recently entered the Grand Line and received bounties of over 100 million, right?"

"Why attack the Celestial Dragons? Is it because they want to rise above others?"

In an instant, countless curious thoughts arose in Yixiao's heart.

Although he didn't like pirates, he found it even more unbearable that the Celestial Dragons treated ordinary people as tools and expendable resources.

The wooden clogs made a "tap-tap" sound as they collided on the ground.

He instinctively walked towards the hotel where the Celestial Dragons were staying.

However, before he could even reach the hotel entrance, a noisy commotion suddenly came from the street in the distance.

According to Yixiao's Observation Haki, people on both sides of the road knelt down in fear.

At the end of the street, a magnificent sedan chair slowly approached from afar.

Below the sedan chair were four women with dazed eyes and disheveled clothes.

Their hands and knees were covered in blood, yet they instinctively continued to carry the sedan chair forward.

Because the one sitting in the palanquin is the most noble being in the world... the Celestial Dragon, who is known as a descendant of the Creator!

Before the Celestial Dragons, mortals and slaves alike are nothing more than playthings to be manipulated at will.

"........."

Sensing all this, Yi Xiao suddenly clenched her fists.

In the end, however, he could only slowly loosen his grip and, like everyone else, kneel down by the roadside.

There are far too many sufferers in this world...

In his youth, he was a spirited and righteous young man.

But it was discovered that no matter how much suffering he had saved, no matter how many villains he had slain…

The evil in this world will never end, and these sufferings will inevitably happen again...

He went to extremes and mutilated his own eyes.

Because he knew that the world itself was an abyss, rotting from the very roots.

He alone could not possibly heal the world.

So he decided to stop looking at this world full of suffering in order to escape his inner guilt.

But as it turns out, simply running away only brings more guilt.

So over the decades, Yixiao had buried his sense of justice deep in his heart and shifted all his attention to gambling and entertainment.

Although he would occasionally do some good deeds and kill some villains, he no longer felt that they were shackles on his life.

however……

Is it really possible that this will happen?

Is a person's personality really that easy to change?

……

……

A Celestial Dragon dressed in a white spacesuit-like outfit stepped down from the human palanquin.

Then, without any warning!

He suddenly pulled out a pistol made of gold and fired several shots at the four people carrying the sedan chair.

"What a useless slave! He took so long to come back!"

"You made me spend so many Pelés to buy you!"

"Get me a new batch of mounts tomorrow!"

The Celestial Dragon cursed and shot all four palanquin bearers dead, then nonchalantly gave orders to his subordinates.

The subordinate, seemingly already accustomed to the Celestial Dragons' habits, nodded and bowed in agreement.

The Celestial Dragon turned and left.

At the same time, the magnificent sedan chair collapsed with a crash, burying the bodies of the four women beneath its weight.

Bright red blood flowed out from the bottom of the sedan chair like a stream.

The sight of their own kind of blood instantly moved the faces of the kneeling commoners around them.

But at this moment, they could only turn their heads away, not letting their gaze fall on that pitiful place.

At the same time, I prayed in my heart that the Celestial Dragons would leave quickly and not cause any more trouble.

I don't know if it was their inner prayers that had an effect.

Just then, a Celestial Dragon bodyguard in a black suit suddenly walked over and whispered something in the Celestial Dragon's ear.

The next second, a cruel and excited smile appeared on the Celestial Dragon's lips. He nodded and, guided by his bodyguard, quickly walked into the hotel.

Only then did the people on the ground dare to slowly get up and quickly leave this dangerous place.

Only a blind swordsman remained standing in the middle of the road, as if waiting for a kind person to help him cross the street...

A helpless and angry wait.

"Why has the world become like this?"

Having witnessed the atrocities of the Celestial Dragons before, Issho clenched his fists, but could only silently lower them in the end.
