One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"I see!"

Marco, who had just been hung up on, didn't have time to think too much. He immediately transformed into a phoenix, flew into the air, and fired pale blue flames at the barrage of shells, intercepting them one by one!

Although he downplayed it on the phone, in reality, to minimize casualties among the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard was practically an impregnable fortress...

He single-handedly routed the entire navy and used his Devil Fruit power to destroy Marineford.

However, this greatly reduced Whitebeard's strength, who was already suffering from illness, and he was seriously injured by the combined attack of Sengoku and Garp.

And this, from ten thousand meters above the ground, Crimson also guessed the truth of the matter from Marco's few words.

……

……

"I never imagined Marineford would be destroyed in the end? Was it destined?"

"However, it seems that Whitebeard's situation is not too good either, otherwise the Navy would not have dared to send people to pursue them."

"Fortunately, judging from Marco's tone, they must have been prepared, so escaping shouldn't be a problem."

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

Then, Crimson suddenly looked up, first giving Ace a reassuring smile, and then said to Luffy:

"So, Captain, the matter of the Sky Island is now settled. Can we give the orders?"

"Hehe! You're right~!"

After the battle, Luffy, whose strength had increased once again, laughed and jumped onto the bow of the Going Merry.

Standing in the captain's seat, he raised his hands, bent his body back forcefully, and laughed heartily:

"My men! The adventure on the Sky Island is over!"

"Raise the sails, set sail!!!"

"It's time to go find new adventures!"

"Oh~!!!"

The straw hat crew responded in unison.

After a fierce battle, everyone's morale was exceptionally high, and they looked forward to the adventure to come!

Little Mermaid transformed into the perfect helmsman and sailor, controlling the ship as it sped rapidly toward the end of the White Sea.

……

……

Meanwhile, on the sea below the Sky Island.

On a massive naval warship, Aokiji looked at Kizaru, who was already sitting on a sun lounger drinking red tea, with a complex expression of surprise and relief on his face.

He first rubbed the deep wrinkles on his forehead helplessly, then sighed and asked:

"You mean..."

"The entire warship, with over a thousand naval officers and CP agents, plus three CP0 agents, was wiped out by a mere captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division and his men?!"

"In the end, you were the only one who escaped!?"

"Let me correct that..."

"It's Ace and that mysterious Akatsuki organization! The two guys who personally killed the Celestial Dragons..."

"I know I know."

Aokiji, who was appointed as the person in charge of this mission, said with an indescribable look in his eyes:

"But no matter what, this is just too outrageous."

"In short, I will report this matter truthfully to Marshal Sengoku, but I don't know what he will say."

"You should have done this a long time ago!"

Kizaru nodded indifferently, sipped his hot tea, and started reading the tabloid gossip.

As for his injuries, they had already disappeared under the effect of the Six Styles: Life Return.

Even later, the scars might heal completely.

However, Kizaru had already had his Marines take pictures of the horrific scene he had just experienced when he fell from the sky island, to be used as material for their reports.

It wasn't that he was solely looking to slack off...

Because he had already realized that he wouldn't gain anything by continuing to argue with the other party.

Kizaru hadn't forgotten that the guy who had always played the support role had been holding back his strength, except for the first few encounters.

Logia-type Devil Fruit abilities are extremely physically demanding, and Zoro and the others inflicted various injuries on him one after another.

If this drags on any longer, and my strength is affected in some way, I might be captured by that mysterious powerful figure and suffer a crushing defeat...

That would be truly shameful!

So when he realized that things were hopeless, Kizaru did not hesitate and chose to run away without any hesitation!

There are only so many Pelés a year, why does he have to work so hard?

In any case, the World Government should definitely pin the blame on CP0!

As an intelligence organization and a vital institution protecting the Celestial Dragons, it not only allowed the Celestial Dragons to be publicly executed, but also failed to thoroughly investigate the enemy's intelligence, leading to its complete annihilation...

This time, the CP0 chief is definitely going to get a severe scolding from the Five Elders!

As for Kizaru himself?

He single-handedly fought against multiple powerful enemies, including two serious criminals who had executed Celestial Dragons.

The battle was raging, and it seemed the enemy was about to be defeated...

Ultimately, due to the ineffective obstruction of CP0 agents, he was surrounded by the enemy's high-end combat forces.

Even under such difficult circumstances, he still managed to preserve a combatant of admiral level for the World Government.

Kizaru truly couldn't understand where he had gone wrong in his actions!

deserter!?

nonexistent!

The Five Elders would be doing him a disservice if they didn't give him some kind of commendation!

Knowing Kizaru's style, Aokiji ultimately said nothing.

After all, they've been partners for so many years, and he knows each other's personalities all too well.

Anyway, if the sky falls, the Sengoku period marshal will hold it up; what does it have to do with a mere admiral like him?

Just as Aokiji was pondering how to report to his superiors, a sudden commotion came from the other end of the warship.

"Um!?"

He and Kizaru simultaneously put down their reports and newspapers, and following the noisy sounds of the marines, immediately looked up at the sky.

A tiny black dot could be seen plummeting violently downwards from high above.

And the landing point seemed to be right in the center of their warship!

"That is……"

Sensing the reappearance of several familiar auras, a pair of puzzled eyes immediately appeared behind Kizaru's brown glasses.

"Hey, hey, hey, no way? Why now?!"

He immediately stood up.

Although he didn't know why the enemy chose to land from the sky island at this time, since the enemy had reappeared, he had no choice but to work overtime again and continue fighting.

He just couldn't understand why the other party would choose such a suicidal way.

In an instant, Aokiji and Kizaru exchanged a glance.

In an instant, the two leaped into the air, one transforming into a swift beam of light, the other rising from beneath his feet in slender ice spikes, both attacking the Merry in mid-air.

However, the navy, whose attention was completely focused on the Airborne Going Merry, was completely unaware of this...

In the deep sea beneath their feet, a colossal creature was slowly approaching the surface.

……

……

"This distance..."

"That's about it!!!"

At the same time, after sensing the superpowered imprints of Bucky and the others on the sea surface, Crimson in the air grinned and said to the person beside him:

"The rest is up to you, Uncle Yixiao!"

"No problem!"

With a sudden laugh, he drew his sword, and a wave of gravity instantly emanated from his longsword, enveloping the entire Merry.

And so, the speed of the Merry, which was originally in free fall, began to decrease rapidly.

At that moment, Kizaru and Aokiji's Observation Haki also detected the huge sea monster that had suddenly appeared beneath the warship.

Having already ascended high into the sky in pursuit of the Merry, they could no longer pay attention to the anomaly below.

They had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue the attack on the Merry.

Immediately afterwards...

They saw a huge wormhole suddenly appear between the Merry and them.

Before Kizaru and Aokiji could react, the Going Merry, still descending at its current speed, plunged into the spatial wormhole and disappeared completely right under the noses of the two admirals!

The enormous monster that suddenly appeared in the deep sea had completed its mission of picking up the bird and was now swimming away into the depths of the ocean again.

And so, the Straw Hat Pirates, right before everyone's eyes, were attacked by two Marine Admirals...

They vanished completely, as if it were all an illusion, as if it had never happened.

Only Kizaru and Aokiji remained, standing a thousand meters above the ground.
