One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

But the truth is...

After unleashing the "Pluto version cannon," the Merry will be unable to launch an attack of the same scale again for at least six months due to various energy consumption issues and overheating of pipelines.

If this move is forced to be used, even with reduced power, it will inevitably affect the Merry's kinetic energy system.

For a weapon, such a long cooldown time is undoubtedly a huge drawback.

This flaw was clearly marked on the design blueprints for Hades.

Even after the design drawings for Hades were translated, Crimson and the others had a strange discussion and made some connections about it.

In their view, if the rising ocean currents near Gaya Island were indeed caused by Pluto...

So, during the Void Century that was covered up by the World Government, did Pluto engage in a major battle with his enemy near Jaya Island?

Because of the relentless attacks, the massive warships were rendered combat ineffective and even damaged, forcing them to hide beneath Wano Country.

However, this might be a weakness for Hades.

However, for the Going Merry now, this is not an insurmountable problem!

After all, from the moment the Merry evolved, the kinetic energy device, which originated from the Pluto blueprints, had already become one with the Merry!

In other words, as the Merry continues to improve, its hull will become increasingly powerful.

Its power unit will naturally also see an increase in power.

Merry is only in her early thirties, which puts her at the bottom of the Straw Hat crew.

As the Going Merry continues to be strengthened in the future, the equipment and devices on her that are replicas of those developed by Pluto Technology will naturally become even more powerful and robust...

Surpassing even legendary ancient weapons is just a matter of minutes!

……

……

After listening to Chi Hong's detailed explanation, everyone was no longer able to remain calm and exclaimed in amazement.

Their amazement was not only for the promising future of Merry, but also for Crimson, who had created all of this!

It was precisely because of Red's extraordinary abilities and the support of the magical Pokémon world that they were able to continuously improve their levels in such a short period of time.

However, just as the Straw Hat crew was chattering and having a happy discussion...

Luffy, who possesses unique sensory abilities, suddenly felt a tremor in his neck.

He immediately stood up straight and shouted:

"not good!!!"

Before Luffy could finish speaking, a wet figure suddenly leaped out from the vast rising sea current.

"Luffy!!!"

Garp roared, and his fist was suddenly enveloped in a jet-black Armament Haki.

A terrifying aura rose from his body.

"Run! Crimson!!! It's that old bastard!!!"

The power originating from the suppression of bloodline caused Luffy to scream in panic.

Seeing Garp arrive, Crimson had no doubts and immediately shouted towards the bow of the Going Merry:

"Merry!!!"

"learn!!!"

Without further ado, the Merry, which had already achieved perfect harmony with Crimson through its superpowers, instantly retracted its built-in flight capability.

In an instant, the Merry, having lost its buoyancy, plummeted downwards under the influence of gravity.

Crimson, who was prepared, immediately waved her hand: "Dimensional Cave!!!"

wow——

A massive black hole appeared beneath the hull of the Merry.

As the saying goes, "One trick is all you need to succeed in the world!"

In front of the naval hero Garp, Crimson once again used the same technique they used to escape the naval encirclement from the sky island, directly entering Laboon's body, who was waiting in the deep sea.

Because there was no altitude restriction this time, the escape speed was even faster than when on the Sky Island.

When Garp, wielding his powerful punches, arrived at the location of the Going Merry, the Straw Hat crew had already vanished from the skies above Enies Lobby.

boom!!!

Garp, seemingly enraged at losing his target, punched the sky in front of him, instantly piercing through the clouds and creating a clear sky that parted outwards.

Everything came to a complete end with Garp's single punch.

Garp, who had failed to complete the mission, no longer had the angry and embarrassed look on his face.

Using Moonwalk to hover in mid-air, he turned around and looked at the still surging rising sea current, letting the cool seawater splash on his body, and couldn't help but show a gratified smile on his face.

"That brat Luffy..."

"As expected of my grandson!!!"

……

……

"Phew! I escaped that disaster!"

"That really scared me to death!"

Seeing that the scene before him had transformed into the familiar world of his abdomen, Luffy immediately wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The appearance of the upwelling current and the crimson explanation successfully captured his attention, so much so that he even forgot that his grandfather was nearby.

Thank goodness...

As expected of Chi Hong, who always claims to have "unicorn arms," ​​his hand speed is indeed fast!

Luffy, relieved to have escaped unharmed, collapsed to the ground.

Zoro and Sanji, who had just defeated Admiral Kizaru with him, immediately showed puzzled expressions upon seeing this.

They all turned their gaze to the crimson figure and asked curiously:

"Red, that Marine just now... was he some kind of powerful figure!?"

"How could Luffy be so scared!?"

"A formidable figure?" A slight smile played on his lips as he chuckled softly, barely suppressing amusement.

"That's not wrong!"

"That man is indeed a very formidable fellow."

"Decades ago, in his youthful vigor, he joined forces with the Pirate King Roger to defeat the Rocks Pirates, the kings of that era!"

"Then, before Roger became the Pirate King, he repeatedly cornered the Roger Pirates!"

"Although he is now very old, he still possesses unfathomable and powerful strength!"

"He is the naval hero—Vice Admiral Garp!!!"

"Wow, he's such a powerful guy!"

As Akagi rattled off Garp's heroic deeds as if reciting a familiar story, Zoro and Sanji immediately recognized the significance in their eyes.

But at that moment, the clever Nami noticed something amiss in her cunning, crimson eyes.

She immediately realized what was happening and, standing on tiptoe, pressed on with a question:

"Wait a moment!"

"Even someone that powerful shouldn't be able to scare Luffy like this, right!?"

"not to mention……"

Nami crossed her arms and called out to Luffy, who looked like he had just escaped a disaster, with a strange expression:

"I don't think our foolish captain knows as much about the Navy's intelligence as you, Crimson!"

"So...you must be hiding something from us, right!?"

"Um!?"

Nami's beautiful eyes sparkled as she gazed at the crimson figure.

"Haha, you guys found out."

While using his superpowers to tell Laboon to leave the area, Red smiled and helped Luffy up from the ground, then introduced him to everyone:

"Then I'll say a little more..."

"The full name of this pillar of the Navy is—Monkey D. Garp!"

"That's right, it's the same surname as Luffy!"

His crimson eyes swept over the crowd, a look of amusement on his face:

"Because of that navy officer—"

"That's Luffy's grandfather!!!"

"Just so you all know..."

"Luffy's father's name is Monkey D.... Dragon!"

"Wh-wh-what?!"

Seeing Red casually announce such explosive news, the Straw Hat crew members showed incredibly exaggerated expressions of shock.

They never showed such an expression, not even when they saw the Merry destroy an island with a single shot.

Seeing the Straw Hat crew's expressions, Luffy scratched his head in confusion.

"Huh!? That's strange, didn't I tell you guys about this?!"
