One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

But then he turned his gaze to the interior of the hotel.

With his powerful Observation Haki, he heard the conversation between the Celestial Dragon and his bodyguard very clearly!

That Celestial Dragon didn't bring the circus just to enjoy the show.

So... what exactly are you going to do?

What started as a mere curious smile now strangely turned into a desire to take a closer look...

Just how far are those pirates capable of?

He stepped forward, pushed aside the abandoned palanquin that the Celestial Dragons no longer wanted, and then picked up the four women's corpses one by one from the pool of blood, using his Devil Fruit power to carry them to the outskirts of the city.

Having found a quiet place, Yixiao used his fruit power to create simple tombs for them.

Then he knelt before the tomb and said apologetically:

"I'm truly sorry, but my abilities are limited."

"This is all I can do."

He paused slightly, then continued:

"However, what I cannot do, there must be others in this world who can!"

"If there is anyone in this world who can let me see the ray of hope..."

Even just a tiny bit!!!

"I will do everything in my power to protect that last glimmer of light!"

After dealing with the few pitiful people, Yi Xiao did not immediately leave this place that had caused him both grief and anger.

Instead, he turned his gaze back towards Carnival City.

For some reason, he always felt a stirring in his heart...

That group of pirates this afternoon might show him a different world.

Yi Xiao was certain that this was not his imagination.

Rather, it was his powerful Observation Haki that was constantly hinting at and advising him!

……

……

Let's go back half an hour.

After Bucky, Barto, and the others led them through the hotel's back door, they were surprised to discover...

It turns out this hotel is a hidden gem!

Who would have thought...

Hidden within this island, renowned worldwide for its joy and pleasure, lies a colosseum of underground gladiatorial combat!

As Bucky and the others were led into the arena, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from all around the arena.

The people in the stands were dressed in fine clothes, and they were obviously high-ranking officials or wealthy merchants. They were definitely prominent figures in the outside world.

However, in this dimly lit underground world, these respectable people who are out in the outside world are now wearing all sorts of masks, cheering and celebrating the bloodshed and death that is about to happen.

"Oh no~ it seems we... took a knife for someone else!"

Clang.

Seeing the massive stone door behind him suddenly close, Mr. 3, who came from the underworld, let out a soft sigh.

At that moment, he understood perfectly well that they... no... it should be said that the circus troupe had been tricked by the Celestial Dragons.

If Mr. 3 is not mistaken, this underground arena should be the work of that Celestial Dragon.

He probably often uses this method to lure unsuspecting people here, and then tortures and kills them in various ways, so that the audience or he himself can enjoy the astonishment on the faces of innocent people as they die...

And their final, desperate struggle.

Upon hearing Mr. 3's explanation, Bucky and the others' expressions changed several times.

Buggy, who was well-informed and already knew the characteristics of the Celestial Dragons, did not show much abnormality.

His two eyes darted around, pondering how to complete the task assigned to him by Crimson.

For the others who had only recently arrived on the Grand Line from the East Blue, this event was incredibly shocking.

The Grand Line truly lives up to its reputation as a graveyard for pirates.

Darkness and death are everywhere!

Of course, being pirates and gangsters, they weren't exactly saints, so they weren't particularly emotionally affected by the matter.

A pink-haired boy hiding in a teddy bear coat in the crowd was terrified when he heard this.

Naive Koby immediately raised his little bear head and asked Mr. 3:

"Isn't this a crime!?"

"Don't the Navy...do they even try to stop the Celestial Dragons!?"

"navy!?"

Pfft!

Upon hearing Koby's question, Bucky, who was standing at the front of the crowd, suddenly let out a snicker, then turned his gaze to Bartolomeo and glanced at him.

It was as if they were asking him, "You have such naive subordinates?"

But then, Bucky grinned and turned to look at Koby in the teddy bear.

"Why do you think these Celestial Dragons can manipulate everything with such impunity?!"

"Isn't it because they have the world's strongest armed force, the Navy, as their backer?!"

"Let the navy handle this?! Have you ever seen someone slap themselves in the face with their own fist?"

Bucky bluntly told the truth.

This is also why, as a pirate, he has an extreme dislike for the Navy.

They are clearly just a group of hypocrites who rely on violence to take over the world, yet they keep proclaiming some kind of justice.

"Anyway... let's figure out how to get out of the arena first!"

Mr. 3 interrupted Bucky's taunts, his gaze sweeping around the arena.

I wonder if the security here is sufficient, or if they simply don't hold overly powerful individuals for duels...

Although the entire arena was designed to be sunken, a full 5 meters lower than the audience seating, it did not have any railings.

With Mr. 3's skills, he could easily create a candle staircase leading to the audience seats here.

It wasn't just him...

Bartolomeo's Barrier-Barrier Fruit and Buggy's Split-Flight ability both possess similar abilities.

A mere gladiatorial arena can't hold these bastards.

"Oh, right!"

Just then, Bucky suddenly tilted his head and smiled, asking the people behind him:

"If it's these guys, they probably can't be considered good people, right?"

"Of course!"

Barto, who was standing next to him, immediately nodded in agreement:

"These bastards who take pleasure in killing are even worse than us!"

"If that's the case..."

Bucky's lips suddenly curled into a cruel smile.

"Even if we cause bloodshed here, we won't get scolded by Lord Crimson, right!?"

"Of course!"

Peng!

Barto clasped his fists together: "Anyway, we can't escape from here without a fight..."

"In that case, let's turn this place upside down!!!"

"Triple Attack - Specialized Pakistani Missile!"

Whoosh!

As Barto finished speaking, Bucky made the first move, suddenly throwing out three bright red cannonballs that looked like a red nose.

A bolt of lightning flashed, a blazing flame burned, and an ice crystal shimmered.

Amid cheers from the surrounding crowd, three shells quickly reached the audience area.

The cannonball thrown by Bucky wasn't going very fast, but even when that huge cannonball came right in front of the audience, nobody paid any attention to it.

It was just a temporary act of resistance by a group of props; they had long since dismissed it.

Then the next second...

boom!!!!!!

The terrifying explosion swept through the audience like a storm, and the violent impact felt like heavy hammers pounding on the audience.

The smoke and dust from the explosion instantly enveloped most of the audience seats.

Endless lightning, flames, and ice energy flashed and surged amidst the smoke and dust.

Along with this came heart-wrenching wails and screams.

In an instant, the entire dueling arena seemed to have transformed into a living hell.

Hundreds of people were directly hit by the blast, and those within the blast radius were blown to pieces, with human fragments flying everywhere.

Those who escaped the blast were also doomed to die.
