One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"That's Blackbeard, who possesses both the Float-Float Fruit and the Dark-Dark Fruit!"

"It's a mission that's clearly impossible to complete, yet we still waste so much manpower and resources on a single Celestial Dragon."

"Is this the world government?"

The lights flickered.

A burly man with a pair of pure white wings on his back was holding today's newspaper, looking at the picture above of Blackbeard and a group of pirates soaring into the sky and sighing.

The next moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked around the tavern.

“Bagil Hawkins, X. Drake, Trafalgar Law, Joely Bonney…”

"So, who will be the next person to lead the world!?"

Chapter 284 The Supernova Alliance and the Straw Hat Crew Who Intruded (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

"I don't think anyone here can lead the world right now."

Drake, wearing a dark blue swordsman's hat and sporting an "X" scar on his chin, looked up, but remained unmoved by the slightly provocative words of the eccentric monk Urouge.

"With our current achievements, it would be too naive to think we can compete with the world's true powerhouses."

"Drake is really steady as the head of the family!"

Luo, wearing a bear-ear hat, raised his head slightly, opened one eye and closed the other, revealing a smug expression.

This contrasts sharply with Becky the polar bear behind him, who exudes tension.

After saying that, Luo turned his gaze to Capone, who had spoken first, and chuckled:

"However, Drake wasn't wrong either."

"That's why Capone specifically summoned us here, right?"

"Furthermore, I suspect that the Hawkins Pirates' timely arrival at Sabaody Archipelago was also the work of Captain Capone, right?"

Luo raised an eyebrow and directly questioned Capone, who had planned the meeting.

In an instant, all the pirates in the room turned their gazes toward Capone's location.

Even Bonnie, who had been focused on the food in front of her, turned her gaze away while continuing to eat and drink heartily.

Bonnie: "Awoooooo..."

The gaze of several supernova pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million put immense pressure on the mafia pirates following Capone, causing them to choke out involuntarily.

Capone, however, maintained his boss-like demeanor, calmly finishing the last bite of his steak, then wiping his mouth with a napkin while turning to look at the group of supernovas.

Despite his rugged appearance, he behaved like a noble aristocrat.

Capone, having put down his napkin, suddenly spoke:

“That’s right, Hawkins did come to Sabaody Archipelago because he received my invitation.”

"As for why I invited all the supernovas to gather, I think you can guess even if I don't say it, right?"

A glint flashed in Capone's eyes, revealing a slightly meaningful expression.

The eccentric monk Urouge, who had a relatively serious personality, chuckled to himself.

"Are we discussing cooperation?"

"Cooperation?" Ap revealed his teeth, which resembled a piano keyboard, and looked up with interest, his expression becoming serious.

Capone continued:

"Anyone who can sail all the way from the four seas to get here must be no fool."

"You should be well aware that the world is currently at a crucial turning point..."

"First, there was Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, publicly executing a Celestial Dragon; then the Straw Hat Pirates, a super rookie pirate crew, stormed Enies Lobby and defeated Marine Admiral Kizaru; and today's news even features Blackbeard, who stole the power of the legendary pirate Shiki's Devil Fruit..."

"This world is slowly heading towards the abyss!"

"And we, who are neither insignificant nor insignificant, are helpless at this moment and can only let the storms of the times rage upon us."

"Therefore, instead of waiting for the storm to come and then being helpless, we should take the initiative, unite our strength, form a pirate alliance, and establish a firm foothold in the new world."

As soon as Capone finished speaking, the entire tavern fell silent.

Bonnie, however, continued eating her food without a care in the world.

Apart from Kidd, who's a troublemaker, all the remaining Supernovas are rational people.

Especially for Ap and others, they wouldn't mind cooperating with others at all.

However, that's on the condition that they see tangible benefits!

Ap's eyes flashed, and he immediately pressed, "So, what are we going to do after we cooperate, or what will we get in return?"

"everything!"

Capone stated bluntly:

"Do you really think that with your pirate crew's current strength, you'll end up in a good place after entering the New World?"

"The Whitebeard Pirates have been rapidly expanding their strength in the past few months, the Big Mom Pirates are looking for marriage alliances everywhere, the Kaido Pirates are recruiting talents extensively, the Red-Haired Pirates have always been mysterious, and the Navy has also moved its headquarters to the gates of the New World..."

"Not to mention Blackbeard and the Straw Hat crew who suddenly appeared!"

"The entire new world is already divided among warlords, and there is simply no place for guys like us."

"If we don't want to enter the new world and be subservient to others, or simply disappear into the annals of history, sticking together for warmth is the only thing we can do!"

Capone then explained the situation in the New World to everyone in one go.

Born into the West Blue Mafia, he possesses unique intelligence channels that other Supernova pirates do not have.

Therefore, after analyzing the current state of the world, he invited the supernovas who were in the same predicament as him to gather at the end of the first half of the Grand Line in the Sabaody Archipelago.

"It sounds... like cooperation would indeed be more beneficial for us."

Knowing that Capone's words were true, Urki pondered for a moment and was the first to express his approval.

"Although it is unclear what will change after the cooperation, going it alone is indeed not conducive to our future development."

"I am willing to cooperate."

Urki made a direct statement.

Drake, who had been silent, agreed after some thought:

"I also agree to cooperate."

As a Navy spy, his mission is to monitor the real-time movements of pirates.

After joining the cooperation and forming an alliance with other supernovas, he was also able to report their intelligence to the Navy more clearly.

"Sure enough."

Law, who had already guessed Capone's purpose, smiled and then directly agreed with Capone's statement on behalf of the pirate crew.

He is about to enter a new world and needs stronger power and influence to fight against the Don Quixote family in the future.

Now that he has joined this pirate alliance, he can use the alliance's power to weaken the Donquixote Family.

If the goal is to compete for territory with established powerhouses in the New World, why can't it be the Don Quixote Family?

Seeing one supernova after another decide to join the league, Apoo hesitated for a long time before finally choosing the league as well.

Of course, as a sophisticated egoist, Ap would never give up anything for this alliance.

He's always the first to step up when there's something to gain, but when it comes to actual work and effort, he'll inevitably be the last one standing.

This is also his way of surviving.

"So what's your choice, Jewelry Bonney!?"

"By the way, Hawkins, who is on his way here, has agreed to my proposal to form a pirate alliance."

Seeing that the group had decided to join the pirate alliance, Capone's lips curled into a slight smile.

He then turned the gemstone ring on his hand, cast a meaningful glance at the last supernova present, and asked a question.

In an instant, everyone present turned their attention to Bonnie, who kept eating.

Noticing everyone's gaze, Bonnie, who was chewing, suddenly had a thoughtful glint in the depths of her eyes that no one could detect.

Although she is only 10 years old, her past experiences have given her a more mature mind than that of an average adult.

She knew very well that if she refused at this moment, she and her pirate crew would likely be attacked by everyone present.

"and……"

Bonnie's eyes flickered.

"This guy named Capone clearly has intelligence sources that others don't."

"Perhaps joining the league will make it easier for me to find my father."

Countless thoughts flashed through Bonnie's mind.

After taking a large bite of pizza, she nodded indifferently and said casually:

"Since everyone else is joining, I'll join too."

"Let me make this clear beforehand: don't expect me to risk my life for you!"

"rest assured!"

With everyone's approval, Capone smiled knowingly, lit a cigar with the help of his subordinates, and then puffed on it domineeringly.

"None of us are exactly law-abiding citizens, so our alliance is just a link that keeps us connected."

"We can share some information on our own during normal times, but if you need any help, you have to offer attractive conditions."

"Even if we really want to concentrate our efforts on taking down someone in the New World, it will still be done through a vote."

Although the pirate alliance has been initially established under his initiative, Capone does not consider himself the organizer of this alliance.

After all, he knew all too well how difficult it was to get along with these bastards, having been a bastard himself.

Moreover, if we were to rank them within the alliance, he, as the initiator, might not necessarily be able to occupy a leadership position.

So instead of wasting time on other things, it's better to simplify everything...
