One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"How...how do you know all this!?"

"There are very few things in this world that I don't know."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the two people behind you."

Chi Hong smiled slightly, a mysterious light gleaming in his eyes.

"Alright, let's skip the chit-chat."

Suddenly, Crimson changed the subject and threw Drake's heart to Usopp behind him.

Then he continued:

"Although you are an undercover agent from the Navy, I don't think we have any reason to be enemies."

"After all, you are loyal to justice, not to the Celestial Dragons who go against justice."

"Kidnapping a Celestial Dragon is a good thing for all living beings, don't you think?"

"........."

Drake, questioned by Crimson, fell silent, unsure how to answer.

However, the crimson figure, which could sense Drake's inner turmoil through the waveguide, continued its relentless pursuit.

With his ability to manipulate waves, he is practically the world's strongest psychologist.

Because he can now easily sense the feelings of others.

"Think about it! If you behave well, I don't mind letting you stay in the Pirate Alliance, and I can even treat you the same as everyone else."

"This way, you can also gather more intelligence."

"When you hand over this intelligence to the Navy, your death will have more value, won't it?"

……

……

After half an hour.

Once again, Luffy, having eaten and drunk his fill, walked out of the tavern, licking his fingers.

While the vice-captain, Red, was putting on a great show for the pirate crew's mission, this absentee captain was thoroughly enjoying the local delicacies of the Sabaody Archipelago.

But when it came time to pay the bill, the astonishing amount almost made Nami so angry that she reached into Luffy's stomach and dug out everything he had just eaten and hadn't had time to digest, and returned it to the shop owner.

"OK OK."

Seeing that Nami was still angry, Akane quickly stepped forward to persuade her:

"It's just a few million Berries. I can easily rob any pirate crew and get it back."

"After all, it's a tourist island that nobles love to visit, so it's normal for prices to be a bit higher."

“This is different!” Nami said, looking helpless as she held the long bill.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't spent money outside for too long that a single meal cost the entire pirate crew's monthly expenses, which truly pained her.

On the contrary, Luffy, who caused all of this, seemed completely unaware and excitedly said:

"I'm so full!!!"

"Red, didn't you say that the first mate of the Pirate King Roger lived on this island!?"

"Let's go find him quickly!"

"I can't wait to see the strength of the Pirate King's crew!!!"

Chapter 287 Teacher Rayleigh (Seeking monthly votes~)

"Hey, Luffy..."

"I'm taking you to learn from others, not to fight!"

"Don't provoke them right away."

Seeing the excited look in his captain's eyes, Crimson suddenly showed a helpless expression.

Fortunately, given Rayleigh's personality and the straw hat on Luffy's head, he will most likely still give Luffy, the "second Roger," special treatment, just like in the original timeline.

I wonder if these few days are enough for Luffy to master Conqueror's Haki.

Logically speaking, in terms of basic strength alone, Luffy's body should already meet the standard.

However, Conqueror's Haki is ultimately a subjective power, and without someone to teach you, you might not be able to understand it by studying it on your own.

Just ...

"Given Rayleigh's abilities, surely he could teach someone how to cultivate Conqueror's Haki in just a few days, right?"

"I hope Rayleigh won't let me down since Kaido taught me this in just a few blows."

With a mix of anticipation and apprehension, Akane led Luffy and the others toward Zone 13, where the extortion bar was located.

Not long after the Straw Hat crew left, Drake, Law, and Bonney, the three Supernovas, also led their crew members, whose faces were swollen, out of the bar one after another.

Having lost his heart and been threatened, Drake snorted at the Straw Hat crew's retreating figures, then silently led his men away.

After all, none of his pirates knew his identity as a member of the Navy's secret service, so it was best to distance himself from Law and Bonney, who knew the truth, as soon as possible.

He didn't want to be violated by his own crew before he had gained anything.

"Hey! Are you really planning to go with that guy to attack the Celestial Dragons' holy land?"

"He must have made some kind of deal with you, right!?"

Seeing that Drake, this unstable factor, had left, Bonnie immediately turned her attention to Law and asked him questions with great interest.

She noticed that before leaving, Crimson said something to Law, and Law's expression changed slightly at that moment.

Clearly, the Straw Hat Pirates not only knew Drake's identity as a Marine, but also his own secrets and some of Law's unspeakable deeds.

There's a reason why the other party's pirate crew, which entered the Grand Line in the same year, was able to rise rapidly to become one of the world's top powers.

However, when Bonnie asked him, Law simply shook his head, as if he didn't want to say anything.

No, not at all.

"Tch~ How boring~!"

Bonnie pouted haughtily to express her dissatisfaction.

At this time, she was still unaware of what Da Xiong was going through, and her personality remained mainly lively and spoiled, far from the bitter and resentful state she would become two years later.

It's just a question of how long her liveliness will last after she learns about the bear's recent situation from Chi Hong.

"Fine, then don't say anything!"

"Contact me when you're ready to take action."

After confirming from Luo's condition that Crimson's intelligence-gathering ability was indeed powerful, she waved goodbye to Luo and, with her bewildered subordinates, headed to the next restaurant to continue her feasting.

The Heart Pirates were left standing there, staring at each other in bewilderment.

"captain……"

Just then, Becky the white bear suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

Koro suddenly waved his hand, stopping his question. After pondering for a moment with a serious expression, he spoke directly to his companions:

"Let's leave here first, and we'll discuss the details back on the ship."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo didn't give his companions any chance to ask questions and strode towards the port.

At the same time, the words that Crimson had whispered to him as she left kept echoing in his mind.

"Joining the Straw Hat Grand Fleet will grant you the power to avenge Rosinante..."

"How do they know these things!?"

"Could it be that they really possess Devil Fruit abilities that allow them to gather intelligence!?"

A myriad of thoughts flashed through Luo's mind.

Although he wouldn't pledge his loyalty to the Straw Hat crew based on just one sentence.

But at this moment, he was already considering spending more time with the Straw Hat Pirates.

and……

"Attack Mary Geoise!?"

"What kind of insane person would come up with something like this?"

"Hopefully nothing will go wrong!"

……

……

Sabaody Archipelago, Area 13.

Bang! Bang! ...

As the two naked figures traced a graceful arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, a mature woman, still possessing a certain charm, slowly retracted her long, slender legs, encased in thick black stockings, and glanced at them with disdain.

"Young people these days are really getting more and more impolite."

"You came here to dine and dash with only this little money."

Despite being 62 years old, Xia Qi still possessed a figure that men found irresistible. She counted the banknotes in her hand, smiled, and turned to return to the tavern.

But just then, a voice from afar suddenly called out to her.

"Ms. Shaki, isn't it a bit too stereotypical to generalize and condemn everyone like that?"

Snapped!

With a crisp snap of fingers, a strange ripple suddenly appeared in the air in front of Xia Qi.

The next instant, a group of figures suddenly appeared in front of the extortion bar.

The group was led by a boy wearing a baseball cap and draped his jacket over his shoulders like a trench coat, and another boy wearing a straw hat and looking excited.

Behind these two were a group of strange and unusual individuals.
