One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Being weak doesn't mean Bucky is useless.

Although I haven't followed the One Piece storyline in great depth, when I saw the video of Red being trampled underfoot by Crocodile, yet still loudly declaring his intention to participate in the struggle for One Piece...

My fiery heart was inevitably moved!

In some respects, Buggy possesses an aura that is no less impressive than Luffy's.

He just kept winning without lifting a finger, and a Yonko (Emperor of the Sea) was born from that effortless success...

This kind of luck is indeed unmatched by ordinary people.

As a great man once said: Unite all forces that can be united.

Crimson firmly believed this.

Therefore, he would prefer to keep a valuable pirate like Buggy under his control.

After all, the Joker isn't just synonymous with comicality; he can also be the most... card in any hand.

That trump card that decided the game!

……

……

"Kid, tell me, what kind of cooperation do you want to discuss?!"

Inside the Clown Pirates' base, after dispersing a group of mindless, praising pirates, Buggy, accompanied by his right-hand men Mochi and Cabaji, sat in the upper seats and asked Red below.

In fact, the sane Mochi and Kabaji had already realized the danger of Crimson and had no desire to participate in the talks.

But under Bucky's authority, they were forced to stay.

Opposite Bucky was a comically styled red reception table.

Fruit and food, as well as a pot of sake, were laid out on the table.

Chi Hong sat at the table, enjoying VIP treatment.

Zoro and Nami, like Mochi and Cabaji, stood on either side of the Crimson ...

As for the Straw Hat crew's real captain?

This kid is currently outside, mingling with the Clown Pirates and happily attending the celebration banquet for "Captain Buggy is the Pirate King's subordinate."

By this time, he had probably already stuck the chopsticks into his nose and was putting on his signature act for everyone.

"Stop calling me 'kid,' that's very impolite, Buggy-senpai."

The man in crimson sat upright, smiled faintly, raised his wine glass, took a small sip, and then began to introduce himself:

"You can call me Crimson, that's my name."

"Zoro and Nami are next to me, as for that weirdo outside..."

The crimson voice suddenly changed, and he sighed, "Although I hate to admit it, that guy is our captain, and his name is Monkey D. Luffy."

“D!?” Bucky frowned slightly, instantly grasping the key point.

He was a crew member on Roger's ship, and even though he had always been in the East Blue, his knowledge far surpassed that of many powerful figures in the New World.

Red, who had anticipated Bucky's reaction, grinned and said meaningfully:

“That’s right, Buggy-senpai.”

"Luffy, like the Pirate King Roger, is a member of the D clan, known as the 'Enemy of God'!"

"I think Bucky, as a member of Roger's crew, should be well aware of the value of this information."

"I do understand."

Bucky's eyes darted around, as if he had remembered something.

But soon enough, he clicked his tongue indifferently:

"But so what if they are from the D clan?"

"Throughout history, countless members of the D clan have appeared on the seas. If you think that a mere name and bloodline can stir up the ocean..."

"Then you're being incredibly naive!"

“That’s true.” Red didn’t refute Bucky’s words, but then he added a bombshell, grinning at Bucky:

"But Buggy-senpai, if I were to say that Shanks hasn't become the Pirate King yet, it's precisely because he's waiting for Luffy to appear..."

"And how will you deal with that!?"

"........."

"What did you say!?"

Bucky was stunned for a few seconds, then his head with the big red nose suddenly separated from his body and flew in front of Crimson.

"Kid, you'd better know what you're saying!?"

"Don't think that just because you possess the power of a Devil Fruit, you can really control me!!!"

Two white-gloved hands flew over and grabbed the crimson collar tightly.

Clearly, some topics were enough to make Bucky break free from his inner fears and stand up straight.

But Crimson shoved Bucky's head away in disgust, to avoid getting his saliva on her, before slowly saying:

“Of course I know what I’m saying, Bucky-senpai.”

"After all, I came here with the utmost sincerity, wanting to invite Buggy-senpai and your pirate crew to join the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Hey! Kid! Don't go too far!!!"

Even with his hand gripped by a bright red palm, Bucky still spoke with a smirk in an unfriendly tone:

"You want me to join your fledgling pirate crew?!"

"This is impossible!!!"

Unsurprisingly, Bucky angrily rejected Crimson.

That's why Crimson said something that interested him; otherwise, based on that insulting invitation alone, he would have already pulled out a knife and stabbed Crimson.

However, faced with Bucky's unequivocal rejection, Crimson simply smiled calmly:

"Nothing is impossible, Bucky-senpai."

"Do you still remember the day Roger was executed, and the day you broke ties with Shanks?!"

"Don't you want to know why Shanks suddenly changed his personality and disappointed you so much?!"

"you……"

Bucky abruptly turned his head, his gaze meeting those crimson eyes that seemed to control everything.

"How do you know all this?!" he asked incredulously, his voice trembling slightly.

Crimson continued with a faint smile: "Of course I know!"

"after all……"

He slowly extended his finger and tapped it twice on the corner of his eye.

"I have eyes that can see the past and the future!"

"..."

Bucky stared intently into the crimson eyes and pressed for an answer:

"That's... your Devil Fruit ability? Or something else!?"

In the world of One Piece, there are indeed many inexplicable and inexplicable powers.

Some come from Devil Fruits, while others are inherent to the organism itself.

So even if someone could see the past and the future, Bucky wasn't too surprised.

All he wanted to know now was the truth that Crimson had spoken of!

Knowing all this, Crimson didn't directly answer Bucky's question, but simply smiled and said:

You can understand it this way.

"Anyway, Buggy-senpai, I know a lot about Roger, about Shanks... and about you!"

"Do you... want to hear it?"

"........."

Bucky's eyes flickered a few times.

After a moment of silence, his head suddenly flew backward and returned to its original position.

It has to be said that the young kid in front of him looked so confident that Bucky was starting to believe he really knew something.

As for Shanks, there are indeed many unsolved mysteries surrounding him, some of which he still hasn't figured out to this day.

"I'd like to see what kind of nonsense you can come up with!"

Bucky's eyes flashed, and he gave a soft snort at Crimson.

He immediately saw the corners of the crimson lips turn up, revealing a cryptic smile, and then he looked up and said:

“Bugsy-senpai, I know you’ve always held a grudge against Shanks because he made you eat a Devil Fruit and lose an important treasure map.”

"But actually..."

"The real reason you resent him is because you saw him, who was deeply loved by the captain, give up the competition to become the Pirate King, so you feel disappointed and frustrated, right!?"

"Humph!"

Bucky gave a soft hum, neither confirming nor denying.

But judging from his obviously tense expression, Crimson's words undoubtedly struck a chord with him.

This also made him even more convinced that Crimson possessed special abilities.

After all, Shanks couldn't possibly reveal these things to outsiders.

But then, Crimson's words made Bucky's heart tremble suddenly, as if being cruelly manipulated by an invisible hand.

“But, Senior Buggy probably doesn’t know…”
