One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Trust me, Franky!"

"This is definitely a better attribute seed for you than any other attribute!"

"Cyborgs combined with fighting skills is a powerful and sustainable development direction!"

"I don't expect you to become Android 17 or 18. Just being a Genos in the One Piece world is enough to open the eyes of this world!"

Franky had no idea what numbers 17 and 18 were.

But in the end, Crimson explained a lot of information about Genos to him.

A powerful individual whose entire body, except for his brain, is almost entirely mechanized!

Unlike Franky's fighting style, which involves standing still and using powerful weapons or relying on his steel body to engage in close combat with enemies...

Genos, also a cyborg, has an extremely well-rounded fighting style.

He can not only unleash all kinds of guns and bullets to suppress enemies from a distance, but also use his great speed to engage in exciting close-quarters combat with enemies.

He can be considered an artist among cyborgs.

A brand-new Wapol improved alloy body + gorgeous fighting skills and moves + Usopp and Franky working together to create weapon dynamics mechanics...

With this combination of moves, Crimson believed that even if he arrived at Eggshell Island and met Vegapunk, it would be enough to open Vegapunk's eyes wide.

Moreover, Luffy's fighting style is too chaotic and disorganized, Robin, with her meditation ability, is destined to follow a mental approach, Chopper's development direction is still undecided, Brook has his own swordsmanship, and Usopp and Nami are both ranged attackers...

In comparison, only Franky is best suited for this fighting attribute.

And speaking of Vegapunk...

"I wonder if that 'failed' Azure Dragon Fruit was ever successfully created."

"After all, it's a powerful mythical beast fruit that's exactly the same as the real Azure Dragon Fruit, except for the color of its scales!"

"If Zoro could eat that fruit, he wouldn't have to work so hard to compete with Sanji."

Watching Zoro and the other person consuming attribute seeds, Akane couldn't help but ponder to himself.

Unlike the previous Sanji, perhaps it's due to a different attribute, or it could be related to the awakening of Conqueror's Haki...

After they consumed the attribute seeds, the two of them remained extremely quiet.

It was just that a strange, dense fog emanated from his body, yet remained dormant, and his body became more agile, as if his limbs had grown longer.

However, just as everyone's attention was focused on Zoro and Franky, preparing to hear their reflections on gaining their new attributes...

Little Mei, who was standing next to the whiteboard in the conference room, suddenly froze.

Then, she vanished in a flash, and a short while later, she entered the conference room from outside, carrying a Den Den Mushi that was constantly making a "blur blur" sound.

"Crimson, you have a phone call!"

"Um!?"

The crimson-browed man frowned, his excitement interrupted, but his spirits instantly lifted when he saw the Den Den Mushi that Merry was bringing him.

He placed the Den Den Mushi on the table and picked up the receiver.

In an instant!

The Den Den Mushi, which had been expressionless, suddenly squinted its eyes upwards to the sides, revealing a wild and exaggerated smile.

"Fufufufu~"

"Sashiburidana, members of the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Ming-ge?!" A smirk appeared on his lips as he replied, "It has indeed been a long time."

"So... is there something you want to talk to us about all of a sudden?"

"Didn't you say you didn't want to have anything to do with us anymore because you were afraid of getting into trouble?"

"Fufufufu, what are you saying, Lord Crimson?"

Although Ming's tone remained the same on the other end of the phone, his attitude was unusually quiet and polite.

If his subordinates saw their boss in such a calm and collected state, they would probably be astonished.

but……

Even the arrogant Doflamingo had to lower his stance when facing the Straw Hat crew, who had defeated Marine Admiral Kizaru.

However, although he lowered his stance, it doesn't mean he liked that feeling.

To save time, he got straight to the point:

"Judging from your tone, Lord Crimson, you haven't read today's newspaper yet, have you?"

"What a pity! I was hoping to share today's joy with Lord Crimson!"

“Fufufufu…”

Doflamingo let out another low laugh.

Upon hearing his words, Crimson raised an eyebrow.

"Today's newspaper?" he murmured in confusion.

Because I challenged the Elite Four and the Champion overnight yesterday, and completed the Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! game world, and then immediately prepared for this Straw Hat internal meeting...

So today, Crimson didn't even have time to glance at the news or newspapers.

But at that moment, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Perhaps he had already guessed why Doflamingo had called him.

Little Mary, who had also overheard the conversation, flashed in again and soon flew in with a fresh newspaper.

Chi Hong unfolded the newspaper.

The Straw Hat crew also joined in.

The next moment, a look of realization dawned on everyone's faces.

The headline of today's World Economic Herald featured a huge headline:

[Shocking! After several months, the world's highest authority has been challenged again!!!]

Below that is a subtitle in a smaller font size.

—[A legend ends, a new emperor ascends the throne! Blackbeard boldly strikes, killing a Celestial Dragon in public before leaving triumphantly!]

The main text details how Blackbeard successfully killed Shiki, obtained the power of the Float-Float Fruit, and seized control of the Black Lion Alliance, becoming a new dictatorial king!

After gaining complete control of the Black Lion Alliance, the first major thing he did was lead his subordinates to attack the Kingdom of Delixi and kill the Celestial Dragons who had just arrived in the Kingdom of Delixi.

He left behind the words, "What Whitebeard dared to do, I, Blackbeard, dare to do as well!" and then soared away into the sky.

……

……

"You're quite quick..."

After reading the newspaper report, Chi Hong immediately covered the microphone and muttered something to his friends.

Clearly, thanks to Laboon's rapid advance, Moria and his group had successfully reached the waters near the Kingdom of Delisi and had begun their operation.

Judging from the contents of the newspaper, the operation over there can be said to have gone very smoothly.

With Blackbeard's strength, killing someone in a kingdom where one needs to flatter the Celestial Dragons would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.

The Black Lion Alliance members appearing in the photo are naturally new zombies created from the power of the pirates killed by the Straw Hat crew on Amazon Lily.

By using the corpses and shadows of the Black Lion Alliance pirates, Moria was able to create quite a few powerful zombies through self-sufficiency.

Although they can't compare to Zombie Blackbeard, most zombie pirates are still in the hundreds of millions!

This powerful force has multiplied the strength of the Moonlight Pirates.

As for Blackbeard's final flight through the air, it wasn't actually due to the power of the Float-Float Fruit.

It's actually an aerial movement technique derived from the Rokushiki - Moon Walk!

Those zombie pirates who were also carried away were simply carrying Absalom, who was also tied to Zombie Blackbeard, with invisible reins around their waists.

Although the plan was overly simplistic and crude, it achieved exactly what Crimson had hoped for.

"This will cause trouble again for the World Government and the Navy."

Chi Hong grinned, his eyes gleaming.

Just then, after a moment of silence, the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) crackled with Doflamingo's laughter once more:

“Fufufufu…”

"See that, Lord Crimson?"

"You have opened Pandora's box, and the world is about to usher in a new era."

"This is so exciting!"

"Fufufufu...fufufufu~!"

Another Celestial Dragon was publicly murdered by a "lowly" mortal, and Doflamingo, who had been humiliated by a Celestial Dragon before, let out a maniacal laugh of great satisfaction.

But his laughter clearly lacked any sense of empathy.

Pandora's box?

Sorry, Ming-ge~

I wonder what you would think if you knew that I was the one who packed the contents of this box into it.

And what happens next might make you laugh for three days and three nights straight!

However, their relationship hadn't reached that point yet, so Crimson naturally wouldn't tell him the truth.

Red remained silent, staring intently into the Den Den Mushi's eyes. Only after his laughter subsided did he calmly ask:

"So...you called me just to say this?"

"........."

"Of course not." Seemingly feeling a little embarrassed by his own outburst, Doflamingo's upturned smile slowly faded, and he said directly:

"I'm here this time... because I want to collaborate with you on a big business deal!"
