One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Shut up, all of you!!!"

The beast tamer, Mochi, swiftly swung his taming whip, slicing it across the heads of all the pirates with a sharp, piercing sound.

Kabaji also stepped forward with his arms crossed:

"What are you doing!?"

"Are you going to disobey Captain Bucky's orders?!"

"Or do you... think your intelligence surpasses Captain Bucky's?!"

"Now that Captain Bucky has made his choice, all we, as his subordinates, need to do is support him with all our might!"

"Don't let me hear anything that could undermine unity, or don't blame me for treating you all as traitors!!!"

After a stern reprimand, the pirates indeed quieted down.

Kabaji's words also made most of the pirates' eyes light up.

Yup!

Since it was Captain Bucky's decision, what right do they have to object?

Captain Bucky must have his reasons for doing this; all they need to do is blindly support him!

Anyway, they're not any smarter than Captain Bucky.

And just like that, all the pirates changed their tune and came to believe that Buggy joining the Straw Hat crew was the right decision.

……

……

Half an hour later.

"Sworn Brotherhood Wine!? What's that!?"

Luffy, who was called back by Red, asked a question with a bewildered look on his face.

Although the banquet was forced to stop, he was not in a bad mood since he had already eaten and drunk his fill.

He was completely baffled by the sudden invitation to drink with others.

As for the structure of the pirate crew, Red was prepared to spend some time explaining to Luffy:

"When other pirate crews want to become our subordinates, they have to drink the 'adopted son' sake, which means they are submitting to us."

"And as the captain, you must also drink the oath of brotherhood, which represents your acceptance of them."

"Huh? What? This looks like a lot of trouble!"

As Red had predicted, Luffy immediately showed impatience after hearing just the first sentence:

"Besides, why would I want others to become my underlings? I don't need that many subordinates! You guys are enough for me!"

"You little brat, do you expect us to do everything ourselves?!"

Red glanced at Luffy with annoyance, then took the wine bowl handed to him by a pirate and shoved it into Luffy's hand.

"In short, since they are already willing to pledge allegiance to us, you shouldn't refuse their good intentions."

"Well... alright." Under Red's persuasion, Luffy reluctantly agreed.

"........."

Am I being rejected?!

Bucky, holding the sake for his adopted son, blinked.

He initially felt a little ashamed to drink the sake meant for his adopted son, but after seeing Luffy's expression, his temper flared up!

"As expected of Shanks' influence, he's so annoying!"

"Damn Shanks..."

"Once I drink this cup of wine as a gift to my adopted son, I will be a legendary figure who will create a new era even before you!"

With a thud!

Buggy suddenly knelt on the ground, and then, in front of hundreds of members of the Buggy Pirates, solemnly said:

"The Buggy Pirates have a total of 108 members and request to join the Straw Hat Pirates. Captain Luffy, please drink the sworn brotherhood sake and accept us!"

Behind him, Mochi and Kabaji, also holding wine bowls, led all the pirates to kneel down suddenly.

"Um……"

Looking at the wine glass in front of him, and then at the crimson, Luffy said:

"Although I don't know what's going on, since Crimson has said it's okay, let's do it this way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy suddenly picked up the wine bowl and gulped down the wine in one go.

Upon seeing this, Bucky quickly led his underlings to drink the wine offered as a gift to their adopted son.

At this point...

The Clown Pirates have officially joined the Straw Hat Pirates, becoming the first pirate crew in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet!

Chapter 28: Never underestimate the atmosphere group!

Pirates in this world are generally divided into two types.

One reason is to pursue dreams or to have to go to sea for certain purposes.

They enjoyed the pleasures of sailing, celebrated the spirit of adventure, and would often lend a helping hand to those in need.

Rather than calling them pirates, it would be more accurate to describe them as a group of capable and proactive adventurers.

They usually don't do anything bad, but they often act recklessly because of their free-spirited nature.

The Straw Hat Pirates are clearly such a team.

They can both prevent war in Alabasta and avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and release countless pirate criminals from Impel Down in order to save Ace.

This has nothing to do with good or bad; it's all about free will.

Another type of pirate is one who purely pursues wealth and status, and enjoys the thrill of conquering the weak with force.

The Clown Pirates are undoubtedly such a team.

They occupied Orange Town, drove out the native inhabitants, and carried out rampant plunder and experimentation on this land.

It is remarkably similar to the rise of a certain great power in Crimson's previous life.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were all villains.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for a team like this to sit down and discuss things with the Straw Hat Pirates.

But today...

With the help of the transmigrator Crimson, the two groups actually sat down together to discuss matters.

On the Straw Hat side, all four members naturally appeared in the video.

Bucky, on the other hand, was accompanied by his right and left hands, Mochi and Kaba.

The seven people sat down at a round table according to their status and position.

Luffy and Akame sat in the main seats. One was eating heartily without paying attention to anything, while the other sat upright in his chair with a slight smile on his lips.

To their left and right are Zoro and Nami, respectively.

Although they were confused about the situation, their expressions remained relatively calm because Crimson was in control.

"Alright, now that we've drunk the sworn brotherhood wine, we're family from this day forward."

As the one in control of everything, Crimson suddenly spoke, addressing Buggy and the other two:

"First of all, I want to emphasize one point... Since our goal is a behemoth like the World Government, we cannot regard ourselves as mere pirates."

"What happened before doesn't matter."

"But from now on, I don't want to hear any news about the Buggy Pirates oppressing the people!"

"You should know that... anyone can become our friend, and anyone can become our enemy."

What we need are more friends, not more enemies!

"Can you understand what I'm saying?"

Crimson turned its scrutinizing gaze toward Bucky.

Since he has been given the name of the Straw Hat Pirates, he must understand the Straw Hat Pirates' code of conduct.

"understand!"

Bucky nodded repeatedly, giving an approving answer.

He was clearly not stupid; he could easily understand the meaning behind Crimson's words.

Although he aspires to be a ruthless villain like the Viking pirates, he doesn't mind changing his style of doing things compared to the even more audacious goal of overthrowing the World Government.

It's hard to be a good person, but it's relatively easy to pretend to be one.

As for why he was so obedient, and never even suspected that Crimson was deceiving him...

Before drinking the sworn brotherhood wine, Buggy might have had some reservations, but under the threat of Crimson's force and the magic in his words, he had no choice but to bow his head.

But after drinking the sworn brotherhood sake, he now had absolute faith in the Straw Hat crew!

The reason for this was the two new moves that had appeared in his mind: [Headbutt] and [Gathering Treasure Technique]!

And all of this started just over ten minutes ago...

Shortly after Bucky drank the sake of his adopted son, Crimson put him to a test.

He first called Buggy and Mochi into a room, and then told them about his identity as a trainer until they completely believed or accepted it.

Chi Hong immediately opened the machine's interface and selected to enter the game world.

At that moment, he was surprised to find that there were two more options in the list of Pokémon that could be carried!

One is Nami, who didn't appear yesterday, and the other is Buggy the Clown, who just joined their ranks.

As expected, Mochi, who served as the control group, did not appear here.
