One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Of course I didn't say that!!!"

The Straw Hat crew shouted in unison, only to be met with Luffy's innocent smile:

"Ah...is that so?!"

"But it's not anything important anyway, so it's fine if I didn't say anything."

"After all, if Crimson hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known who my father was... I don't think I've ever seen him since I was born."

"You rascal."

Seeing Luffy's nonchalant expression, everyone instantly realized that he had no idea what the name "Monkey D. Dragon" actually represented in this world.

only……

"Your grandfather was a naval hero, your father was a revolutionary leader, but you want to be the Pirate King..."

"Your Monchi family are truly legendary figures."

Sanji exhaled a smoke ring and, unusually, started to make a sarcastic remark.

"Haha, okay, okay."

Suddenly, Crimson clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

"Luffy's family background is none of our business. Let's focus on figuring out our next route!"

"That's true."

Upon hearing the mention of sailing, Nami was the first to snap out of her reverie, biting her nails and asking doubtfully:

"But the next island after Water Seven should be the Sabaody Archipelago, right!"

"Isn't that a place where Celestial Dragons frequently appear!?"

"I remember you said, Red, that there are many powerful people hidden within the World Government, right?"

"Is it really okay for us to show our faces over there right now?!"

"Of course we can't go directly to the Sabaody Archipelago." Crimson grinned. "Not only can we not go to the Sabaody Archipelago..."

"Having mastered the power of ancient weapons, we will inevitably become the World Government's primary target for assassination, and may even attract the personal pursuit of the Five Elders!"

"So to avoid that situation, we must remain hidden for the time being and absolutely cannot be discovered by the World Government."

"At least...until we possess greater power!"

As he spoke, a glint of light flashed in his crimson eyes.

In fact, Luffy and his crew's victory over Kizaru this time involved a lot of clever tricks.

Advantages in intelligence, numbers, capabilities, and terrain...

In fact, if Luffy and his crew had fought Kizaru on land instead of on the Bridge of Hesitation, Kizaru would never have been defeated so quickly.

It's even highly likely that this battle will end in the defeat of the Straw Hat's three strongest fighters.

It can only be said that it was a matter of timing and fate.

Despite possessing world-class fighting strength, Kizaru ultimately became a prisoner of the Straw Hat crew because of such a small factor.

“But…” Nami immediately looked puzzled upon hearing Red’s suggestion.

"The waters further ahead will only get closer to Marineford and Sabaody Archipelago, so they shouldn't be considered safe zones at all!"

"Are we going to stay in Laboon's abdominal cavity forever, or are we going to sail back?"

"Of course not!"

Red glanced at Luffy and the others, who were also looking at him with curiosity.

"Laboon's abdominal cavity can't support the current training intensity of Luffy and the others. We can't waste too much time in this place."

"Even if Luffy and his crew are already able to defeat a Marine Admiral, we should not let our guard down."

"Hehehe, judging from your expression, Crimson, you must already have the answer, right?"

"After all, our first mate never fights a battle unprepared!"

At this moment, Robin smiled and interrupted everyone's subsequent questions.

And the corners of his crimson lips curled up slightly, as he smiled mysteriously:

"Robin truly understands me."

"Do you guys remember what I mentioned before... the Rumbar Pirates?!"

"The Rumba Pirates!?" Upon hearing this unfamiliar pirate crew name, everyone was initially taken aback.

Chopper, who was closest to Laboon, was the first to react, his two big, round eyes looking at Red with a puzzled expression:

"The Rumbar Pirates, aren't those the crewmates Laboon has been waiting for?!"

"I remember you said, Crimson, that they only have one pirate left, Brook, who is trapped in the Devil's Triangle, right?!"

Because he occasionally talks about the past with Laboon, Chopper's memory of this matter is slightly better than the others.

After Chopper's reminder, the others instantly remembered.

In an instant, a glint of inspiration flashed in Nami's eyes.

"The Devil's Triangle!!!"

"Hey! Usopp, give me the map right now!"

She suddenly stretched her hand out in front of Usopp.

"what?"

Usopp, who was stunned for a moment, belatedly realized what was happening. He reached out with his finger, and an old map instantly fell from his fingertip into Nami's hand.

Ever since Usopp ate the Storage Fruit, the Straw Hat crew has made it a habit to store useful tools inside Usopp's body.

This ability is even more convenient and faster than the Crimson's ability to retrieve objects from a distance via its dimensional portal.

Nami quickly opened the map, and her eyes shone even brighter.

"I see. No wonder you seemed so unhurried, Crimson."

She flashed a sweet smile and showed the map in her hand to everyone.

His fingertip landed on a pattern on the map that resembled a terrifying skull.

The area of ​​sea that the mapmaker had clearly marked as a danger zone had now successfully drawn the attention of the entire Straw Hat crew.

……

……

boom!!!

"Still no sign of the Straw Hat crew?!"

The New World, formerly the Navy G1 branch, now the new Navy Headquarters "Marineford" admiral's office.

In a fit of rage, Akainu smashed the desk in front of him to pieces. molten lava spilled from his fist, instantly scorching the wood chips below into black charcoal.

Despite being covered in bandages and having many frostbite areas exposed, Akainu, who had been urgently appointed by the Five Elders to become the new Fleet Admiral, was full of enthusiasm.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't witnessed Akainu's contempt for the lives of Marines during the Marineford War, or perhaps it was because he was affected by the news of his teacher Zephyr and colleague Kizaru's disappearance, or perhaps it was because he felt guilty for not playing any role in the previous Skypiea battle...

In short, just like in the original anime storyline, Aokiji lost to Akainu in the battle for the position of Fleet Admiral.

However, unlike the original story, the war did not last for ten days.

In just three days, this battle, which was enough to change the world order, was over.

Aokiji did not lose his left leg in the battle, but he was seriously injured and lay unconscious in the Navy's treatment room.

Akainu, who was already favored by the Five Elders, took office immediately after winning the battle, replacing the interim Fleet Admiral Tsuru and becoming the new leader of the Navy.

however……

Before Akainu could even settle into his position as Fleet Admiral, a huge mess fell from the sky and landed squarely on his head!

Enies Lobby, one of the three major institutions under the World Government along with Marine Headquarters and Impel Down, was actually breached by a group of unknown pirates!

Not only were the island's garrison of over ten thousand men completely defeated, but the main island, which served as the base of Enies Lobby, was also directly destroyed by a strange weapon wielded by these pirates...

They've completely disappeared from the map!!!

According to the descriptions of the surviving marines, the weapon came from the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.

An entity capable of annihilating an entire island with a single shot...

That's something only the legendary ancient weapon, Hades, could do.

Even though Enies Lobby's main island isn't very large and can't compare to a real island, it's enough to prove that the Straw Hat Pirates have mastered a powerful weapon that poses a significant threat to the world!

Of course, none of the above matters to Akainu.

After all, Enies Lobby and the Navy Headquarters are two parallel departments.

Even if this is a disgraceful act, it will be the World Government that loses face, not Akainu.

Moreover, he had not yet taken office when the attack occurred, so he cannot be blamed.

but!

To Akainu's utter surprise...

Admiral Kizaru and former Admiral Zephyr, who were originally tasked with supporting Enies Lobby, were defeated by a rookie pirate crew.

And what's more, they disappeared after the battle ended!!!

The newly appointed Akainu, the unconscious Aokiji, the missing Kizaru...

In the blink of an eye, all the admirals, who were originally the highest fighting force in the navy, disappeared without a trace!

This is an absolute disgrace to the Navy!

However, faced with Akainu's anger, Kashoyama, who was also a hawkish Marine, shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Admiral Akainu... no! Fleet Admiral Akainu..."

"But both our naval warships and the World Government's CP department have conducted a thorough search of the waters near Enies Lobby."

"But apart from a few pirates who just happened to be passing by, we didn't find any trace of the Straw Hat Pirates."
