One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Red wasn't actually too surprised by Nami's appearance.

After all, she already knew she was a trainer, and this morning she completely opened up to the Straw Hat crew, officially joining them.

The conditions of trust and recognition of the trainer's identity have been met, so this result is normal.

It's normal that Mochi isn't on the list.

After all, he's not Bucky; he won't trust Red just because Red mentions Roger and Shanks.

Bucky's appearance, however, was both within Red's plan and a pleasant surprise for him.

"It seems that even without the bond of partners, as long as a certain level of trust or intimacy is reached, I can still bring other people into the game world."

"This makes it much more feasible!"

Crimson laughed as he came to this conclusion.

Of course, even if Bucky could enter the game, he wouldn't waste his precious game time on Bucky.

After seeing that his attributes were the same as Luffy's—Normal + Fairy—Red only took him into one game and taught him all the moves of both Normal types.

It took less than a minute from start to finish.

But this miraculous method completely won Bucky over.

Seeing Bucky's expression, Scarlet smiled with satisfaction.

He continued, "Tonight, we will set sail and leave this place."

"After we leave, I have a few tasks for you and your pirate crew..."

"Lord Crimson, please speak!"

Bucky smiled obsequiously, rubbing his hands together in an extremely humble manner.

Crimson smiled slightly: "The first thing is about the Pakistani bomb!"

"I hope you can contribute the formula for Pakistani bombs and provide some technical support."

"No problem!"

Bucky, who was eager to prove himself, agreed without hesitation:

"I developed the Pakistani bomb myself; the formula is in my head, and I can write it down right now!"

As he spoke, he reached for paper and pen to begin taking notes.

However, at this moment, Crimson suddenly interrupted him:

"Not urgent."

"Just give me the shell formula before we leave. By the way, you should have some leftover Pakistani shells, right?"

"Leave them all to me later."

"Yes, Lord Crimson."

Bucky nodded again.

The manufacturing cost of Pakistani missiles is not particularly high; the important factor is the manufacturing process.

He could afford to send just a few shells.

Bucky's straightforward attitude brought a smile of satisfaction to Red's face.

It was worth it for him to teach Bucky two moves at once.

This is a privilege that neither Zoro nor Luffy has ever received, even though it's because neither of them needs it.

In the entire East Sea, if there's anything that Crimson would care about...

That could be the Pakistani bomb developed by Pakistan!

Don't let the fact that the entire Clown Pirates are nowhere near as powerful as some might think; they're basically just a comedic relief crew...

The fact that Buggy could easily wipe out a group of prison guards with the strength of a Navy admiral in Impel Down with a single shrinking cannonball shows that his power is not much weaker than that of an ordinary strongman.

However, his comical appearance and humorous personality are more outstanding, which inevitably makes people forget his fighting ability.

Even now, a Buggy bomb that hasn't been improved yet already has destructive power comparable to Luffy's full-power Gear Third attack!

It's far more powerful than the fireworks and shells used by the navy!

Even on the Grand Line, this talent would be considered amazing!

If conditions are right in the future, Akane even plans to find a suitable place on the Grand Line to build an ammunition factory, mass-produce these Bucky bombs, and then equip the Straw Hat Grand Fleet with them.

At that point, it won't be the World Government chasing after the Straw Hat crew to launch a Buster Call!

Instead, their Straw Hat Grand Fleet was facing the World Government and the Celestial Dragons...

Issue the God-Slaying Decree!!!

"The God-Slaying Order, huh? That sounds pretty impressive!" Crimson clicked his tongue in amazement.

Of course, these are all things for the future, and he was just indulging in a brief fantasy.

After discussing the Pakistani bombs, Red continued his explanation:

"The second thing..."

"I need you to hide and wait in the waters near Loguetown."

"Once I hear news that the Straw Hat crew is heading to the Grand Line, I need you to find someone for me in Loguetown..."

Chapter 29 The Confession (Please continue reading~)

Night falls.

Guided by the pale yellow moonlight, Crimson and the others steered their boat slowly away from the port of Orange Town.

After eating and drinking his fill, Luffy patted his round belly with a satisfied expression.

Although the chef of the Clown Pirates didn't have any outstanding culinary skills, he was still at the level of a typical restaurant.

After experiencing Nami's devilish cooking skills, not only Luffy's taste preferences, but even Akame's and Zoro's tastes plummeted...

The group of people were quite satisfied with the meal.

It's getting late.

Luffy has been eating since evening and is now somewhat tired.

But just as he finished saying goodbye and was about to go back to sleep, Crimson, the last one to board the ship, suddenly spoke up:

"Everyone, please wait a moment."

Zoro and Nami stopped in their tracks instantly, as if they already knew that Red would call them.

Only Luffy, who had already reached the hatch, turned his head in confusion:

"Hmm? What's wrong, Crimson?"

"Didn't you promise to take me to the game world tonight?! You can't go back on your word now!"

He thought that Chi Hong wanted to change his mind, and immediately pouted and complained.

However, Crimson simply smiled:

"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word since I promised to take you with me tonight."

"but……"

Crimson's smile faded, and she said with a hint of apology:

"But I feel it's necessary to apologize to you for what happened today."

"I'm sorry, Luffy."

"Without the captain's permission, I made the Clown Pirates a subordinate pirate crew under our command."

"Oh, you mean this!?"

Luffy scratched the back of his head nonchalantly, looking puzzled.

"Although it seems like a lot of trouble, since it was your decision, Crimson, it must be the right one."

"What's there to apologize for?!"

After two and a half years together, Akane's status in Luffy's heart has long been comparable to that of Ace, Sabo, and others.

Moreover, Crimson is currently his first mate and trainer.

His trust in Crimson was absolute.

However, although Luffy didn't seem to care about it at all, Red still gently shook his head:

"This is different."

He raised his head and looked directly at Luffy:

"Although you're not very bright and can't come up with any decent plans, you are still the captain of this ship and the leader of our team."

"This time, without your permission, I rashly agreed to let others bear our name..."

"This matter has gone too far."

“Ah…” Luffy murmured.

Seeing that Chi Hong was so serious this time, he gradually put away his playful expression.

For a moment, their eyes met.

A cool sea breeze caressed their bodies, causing their clothes to flutter in the wind.

The atmosphere inexplicably became heavy.

"I see."

Luffy lowered his voice, uttering a serious, almost sentimental tone:

"It seems that you have indeed made a very serious mistake this time, Crimson."

"Making decisions without the captain's consent is indeed a major taboo among pirates."

"Luffy..." Nami took a half step forward, wanting to explain something.
