One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

In an instant, the two turned their gazes toward the cabin in surprise and doubt.

But in just a few seconds, a dark shadow flashed out of the cabin again.

Whoosh!

Sanji, dressed in a sharp suit, suddenly appeared beside Nami and Robin.

"Miss Nami, Miss Robin, this is a special drink I made for you both. Please enjoy!"

"Um!?"

Nami and Robin paused for a moment, then habitually picked up the drinks from the tray in Sanji's hand.

"It's...it's freshly squeezed juice!?"

As soon as they tasted it, the two of them showed expressions of amazement again, and then turned their shocked gazes to Sanji.

Under the gaze of his two beautiful female companions, Sanji smiled smugly and then explained to the group:

"Just as Crimson said, there is no limit to the increase in speed!"

"With the power of the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit, I can freely control the speed of my movements."

"However, the greater the increase, the greater the physical exertion."

"Specific details still need to be tested."

"Hiss, gay~!!!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy and Chopper immediately showed excited expressions.

Luffy said with even greater anticipation:

"In that case, Sanji, wouldn't you be able to make a whole table of delicious food in an instant?!"

"That's amazing!!!"

"Hey, hey, hey~ Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing!?"

"My Devil Fruit power isn't for cooking for you guys!!!"

Sanji, who was initially proud of his powerful Devil Fruit ability, suddenly had a bad feeling.

However, his objections had no effect.

This even drew a chorus of cheers from the Straw Hat crew.

In the end, unable to resist everyone's insistence, Sanji had no choice but to use his Devil Fruit ability to prepare a banquet-level feast for everyone at an extremely fast speed.

Watching Sanji transform into countless shadows, bustling about in the kitchen, Akame was suddenly moved to speak:

"What a Devil Fruit ability for a chosen working-class person!"

"If I ever encounter Vegapunk again, I must make him copy this Devil Fruit power and use it on the soldiers in the Abdominal World..."

"In this way, the production capacity of the Usopp factory can also be greatly increased!"

The aroma of freshly squeezed juice wafted from the swirling wine glass.

Seeing his companions grow stronger day by day, a satisfied smile spread across his ruddy face.

On the deck of the Merry, the long-awaited normal life returned.

however……

Just as the Straw Hat crew was enjoying their peaceful daily life, the outside world was thrown into turmoil and chaos because of their actions.

……

……

"Still no trace of Whitebeard and the others!?"

Inside a makeshift office in the dilapidated Marineford.

With bandages wrapped around his arms and head, Fleet Admiral Sengoku fixed his imposing gaze on the nautical chart ahead.

The naval officer he questioned bowed his head and sighed:

"I'm sorry, Marshal."

"The Whitebeard Pirates seem to possess a unique ship coating technology. I suspect they may have already returned to the New World by passing through the deep sea beneath Mary Geoise."

"impossible!"

A deep glint suddenly flashed in Zhan Guo's eyes!

"The direction Whitebeard and his crew sailed when they left Marineford wasn't the New World at all, but Jaya!"

"They're most likely going to meet up with Fire Fist Ace..."

"In such a short time, it's impossible for them to complete the rendezvous and return to the New World!"

"Therefore, they must still be in the first half of the Grand Line right now!"

"But……"

The reporting naval officer wanted to say something more.

But Sengoku suddenly flew into a rage: "No buts!!!"

He, who was always known for his wisdom and strategy, clenched his fists at this moment, his eyes filled with impatience and anger.

Sengoku slammed his fist on the table:

"We must find Whitebeard's location... otherwise, how can we explain this to the people of the world!?"

Morgans, in a fit of desperation, had already spread the news of Whitebeard's attack on Marine Headquarters and subsequent safe evacuation throughout the world.

This time, both the World Government and the Navy have truly lost face!

As a result, the Whitebeard Pirates' reputation reached an unprecedented level worldwide!

Even countless ambitious individuals, or those who had been harmed by the Celestial Dragons, began to seek ways to repay their kindness or join the Whitebeard Pirates!

It is foreseeable that in the near future, the Whitebeard Pirates, which have just been attacked by the Navy and suffered heavy losses, will soon return to the top and become even stronger!

All Whitebeard did was give up two Devil Fruits, which means he got a huge advantage.

However, Whitebeard was clearly aware of this, which is why he said that the two Devil Fruits were just a preliminary gift of gratitude.

As for what kind of gifts will come later, that's a matter for the future.

After all, the Whitebeard Pirates have just suffered several major battles and are not exactly wealthy.

This is also why the Warring States period was so eager.

Because he knew that this was the weakest moment for the entire Whitebeard Pirates!

If we fail to take this opportunity to strike a blow against the Whitebeard Pirates, the prestige of the World Government and the Navy will be irreparably damaged!

however……

"The Warring States Period!"

Just then, Lieutenant General Tsuru, who was located at the edge of the temporary office, suddenly spoke up and called out to the angry Marshal Sengoku.

Tsuru then gave the naval commander who had come to report a wink, signaling him to leave, before slowly speaking to Sengoku:

"Let's just let this matter go..."

"crane……"

The affection and trust that had accumulated over the years calmed the anger in Zhan Guo's heart.

But the resentment on his face was palpable.

Before Sengoku could speak, Tsuru said directly:

"The navy can't afford any more setbacks!"

"Marineford is no longer suitable to be the Naval Headquarters. We need to find a new naval base!"

“The naval soldiers and officers who died or were wounded in the battle also need to be comforted.”

"besides……"

"The Akatsuki organization mentioned in Kizaru's intelligence report is also a key point that cannot be overlooked."

"It would be unwise to provoke Whitebeard at this time!"

"Moreover, even if you and Garp worked together, you couldn't leave Whitebeard severely injured..."

"Sending other people would hardly achieve any good results, and might even backfire."

"Don't lose your wisdom, calm down and think it over carefully."

A gentle breeze blew by, opening the window of the temporary office and sending cool air into the cramped room.

Sengoku stood there, his face stinging in the cold wind, his fists clenched, and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he slowly exhaled a long breath, took off his hat, turned around, and said in a complicated tone:

"crane……"

"Once this incident is completely over, I will submit my resignation to the World Government."

"Then you will temporarily take command of the navy, use public opinion to shift all the blame onto me."

……

……

Meanwhile, in the deep sea of ​​the first half of the Grand Line.

On the Moby Dick, which is currently submerged beneath the surface of the sea.

Whitebeard clenched his fist tightly, his face showing an indescribable shock.

Beside him, many of the Whitebeard Pirates' officers were gathered, their eyes filled with surprise and delight.

After a long pause, Whitebeard looked at Ace, the only one among them who remained calm and smiling, as if he had known this would happen all along. His eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Gulalalalala~"

"I never thought that I, an old man, would have a day when I would be so shameful."

"Just two Devil Fruits... that's really too stingy!"
