One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Perhaps the fruit's power can greatly increase his sense of security, thus allowing him to get into the zone more quickly."

"A new era is about to begin, and Koby's time is running out, isn't it?"

The power of the Smooth-Smooth Fruit is indeed as powerful as Red said.

However, he just happened to be very incompatible with the non-Devil Fruit users in the Straw Hat Pirates.

It would be a waste for both Akane and Nami to be able to access a treasure trove without being able to obtain it.

After learning through telepathy that Red could use the Devil Fruit to gain certain benefits for the Straw Hat Pirates, Nami readily accepted Red's offer to give her the Devil Fruit.

In any case, once Koby accepts the Devil Fruit with a smile, it means that he has already sided with the Straw Hats.

Even if you round it up, this fruit still belongs to the Straw Hat crew!

No matter what, Crimson and his team won't suffer a loss!

……

……

"Friction..."

Under Chi Hong's verbal onslaught, Yi Xiao was unsurprisingly swayed by his words.

After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately did not utter the words of refusal again.

Although Ishtar had never studied physics, he could understand how powerful the Devil Fruit ability to control friction could be if it were properly developed!

After a slight pause, Yi Xiao suddenly raised his head again, his tightly closed eyes meeting Chi Hong's gaze, as if he could meet his eyes.

"Speaking of which, Lord Crimson..."

"May I ask you why you kidnapped the Celestial Dragons?"

“Those are the world’s top nobles. You should know very well how much trouble it will bring if you provoke them.”

"Haha~ Then please have a few more cups of hot tea, Mr. Yixiao, and let me explain slowly~"

With a smirk playing on his lips, and knowing that the Devil Fruit hadn't been given to the wrong person, he began to explain the whole story to Ikko in detail.

If Yixiao, a powerful figure with the strength of a general, were to join this war...

So, even if they are playing at home against the navy, they are not without a fighting chance!

The only thing we need to be wary of is the fighting force of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons!

Chapter 179 The Executioner, Fujitora Issho (Please Subscribe!)

"Publicly...publicly execute Celestial Dragons?!"

Fujitora, who was usually stern and unsmiling, froze on the soft sofa after hearing Akane's entire plan.

Even though he had already prepared himself mentally, he still felt a tremor run through him when he learned of Crimson's plan.

In the eight hundred years since the World Government was founded, not everyone has indulged the Celestial Dragons, nor has no one killed them.

But those who did these things all ended up dying tragically.

Therefore, with the accumulation of one shocking news story after another, people will increasingly revere the Celestial Dragons and regard them as true high-ranking nobles.

Of course, these things will not be recorded in any historical literature, because the books that recorded these events have long been destroyed by the world government, along with their authors and publishers.

However, during his travels around the world, Yixiao occasionally heard some related rumors.

At first, he thought that Scarlet was like those people in the rumors, wanting to use his Celestial Dragon identity to leave a "legendary" mark on his life.

But after hearing Crimson's entire plan, he realized...

This is hardly a legend!

This is going to create a completely new era!

"Lord Crimson... Lord Crimson..."

Thinking about the full scope of the plan that Chi Hong had just described, Yi Xiao couldn't help but feel nervous.

He asked seriously:

"How confident are you about the success rate of this plan?!"

"As for confidence..." Crimson fingers tapped the table rhythmically, making a thoughtful sound: "If the opponent is only the Navy, I am one hundred percent confident."

One hundred percent!?

With a smile, his brows suddenly relaxed, revealing a look of surprise.

But just as he was about to ask Crimson where the number one hundred came from, he heard Crimson say again:

"but……"

"For something that shakes the foundation of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, they absolutely cannot send only the Navy's forces."

"At that time, the World Government's CP organization, the Celestial Dragons' Holy Knights... and even those five guys sitting in the highest positions..."

"Given the unknown strength of the enemy, I cannot assess this battle."

Upon hearing this, Yi Xiao nodded silently. From Chi Hong's description, he could tell that Chi Hong was not a madman who hadn't made any preparations.

He then smiled and turned to Coby, who was holding the Devil Fruit and unsure what to do with it.

"Just to rescue a Whitebeard Pirates crew you've never even met, you actually went to this extent..."

"This sentiment truly moves even an old man like me."

"This world may be murky, but even in the murky world, one can always see a glimmer of hope."

"Just like this child, with a frail body and a gentle nature, yet possessing boundless potential."

"Perhaps it is because I have seen these things that I have been able to persevere until now."

He smiled, a contented smile spreading across his face.

Upon hearing this, Crimson's eyes flashed, and thoughts raced through his mind.

"So this is why Fujitora took Koby as his apprentice!?"

Red stroked his chin thoughtfully, then turned his gaze toward Koby.

For a moment, Koby, who was being watched by the two big shots, felt like he had a thorn in his side and was restless.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't waste too much attention on him.

Suddenly, Yixiao spoke up to Chihong:

"Lord Crimson! May I ask for a favor?"

A serious atmosphere suddenly filled the calm office.

"Hmm!?" Crimson first made a sound of doubt, then gestured and said, "Senior Yixiao, there's no need to be polite. Just tell me if you need anything."

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Crimson."

Yixiao did not change his attitude despite Chihong's overtures.

But the next second, he suddenly said:

"Lord Crimson, would you be willing to serve as the executioner of the Celestial Dragons in this plan?"

"To be honest, it was because of the existence of the Celestial Dragons that I chose to close my eyes back then."

"At that moment, because of my weakness and incompetence, I gave up on sticking to my principles."

"I never imagined that decades later, I would have such an opportunity again."

"And this time, whether for my past self or for Coby now, I need this opportunity!"

"Please grant my request, Lord Crimson!"

Call ~

An invisible wave suddenly spread throughout the office.

Suddenly, the coffee table in front of him and the sofa behind him flew up.

He was already kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and pleading with Crimson in the manner of a samurai.

"What is Senior Yixiao doing?!"

Seeing this, Chi Hong quickly stepped forward to help up this benevolent and righteous general-level expert.

Although the anime never explains why Issho blinded himself or why he ultimately chose to join the Navy.

However, the fact that such a powerful person could shed tears shows how much harm the turbidity of this world had caused him.

At this moment, his smile and bow signified his formal choice to join the Straw Hat team!

It's not cooperation, it's not joining.

Instead... it's a request!

"Welcome to the team, Senior Yixiao!!!"
