One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Peng! ! !

The newly appointed marshal's desk, after only three days in office, could not escape a sudden disaster and was cut in two by a blazing fist.

"Why didn't anyone notice the Straw Hat Pirates' movements!?"

"You actually let this whole group of people set foot on the Red Earth like that!?"

An enraged Akainu, cigar in mouth, roared at the group of Marines guarding the Red Line.

As a stairway for mortals to reach the Holy Land, the Red Line near Mary Geoise has long been under strict guard by the Navy and the World Government.

only……

"Fleet Admiral Akainu..." A naval admiral choked up silently, then reported nervously:

"It's not that there's a problem with our alarm system."

"According to the information from the Five Elders, the Straw Hat Pirates' vice-captain, Red, seems to possess the ability to move at high speed in the air!"

"That is to say..."

"They did not land on Mary Geoise from the Red Line, but rather they set off directly from the Sabaody Archipelago and flew all the way to the top of the Red Line."

"They used the same method to leave as well."

"crimson!?"

Akainu frowned, secretly memorizing the name of this man who differed from his own by only one character.

Then he raised his head again, suppressing his anger, and asked:

"What about that huge explosion?!"

"Why did a massive explosion occur in Mary Geoise after the invaders left, causing so many casualties?"

"This one……"

Several naval officers who had connections with the World Government looked at each other, and finally the one who had spoken first stepped forward to give a report.

This time, however, his tone carried a hint of doubt and helplessness.

"It's the World Government's ammunition depot!"

The naval soldier said:

"Those invaders somehow obtained intelligence about Mary Geoise and managed to locate the World Government's ammunition depot in a hidden area..."

"Furthermore, they discovered the tunnels that were usually used by slaves to pull the road sashes, which led to all the World Government's ammunition depots being distributed throughout the Celestial Dragons' residential area via underground tunnels..."

"Then, that explosion happened!"

"what?!"

Akainu stared wide-eyed in surprise.

Mary Geoise was destroyed by the World Government's own ammunition!?

In other words, if the invaders hadn't found the location of the ammunition depot, the Celestial Dragons wouldn't have suffered such heavy casualties.

The ammunition accumulated over 800 years was ultimately used against their own people.

Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

Moreover, judging from the timing of the intelligence, the enemy went straight to the ammunition depot almost as soon as they entered the holy site...

Otherwise, there simply wouldn't have been enough time for the invaders to deploy ammunition throughout the castle area.

only……

Even he, a naval admiral, didn't know the location of the World Government's ammunition depot...

How could a group of invaders who broke into the holy site be located so precisely?!

At that moment, Akainu, like the Marine admiral opposite him, had a look of doubt in his eyes.

At the same time, an unspoken idea came to his mind.

That is……

It's possible that someone in the World Government's upper echelons has betrayed the Celestial Dragons!

Chapter 307 Fishman Island, Training Season! (Seeking monthly votes~)

With a series of orders issued, almost all the naval warships docked at the port of New Marineford set sail towards the waters at the entrance to the New World.

In the New World, a sea with unpredictable weather and where no one knows what might happen next, such a deployment is tantamount to putting the lives of the naval soldiers on the line.

Even when faced with such unfair instructions from the World Government, Akainu, who had just become the Fleet Admiral, had no choice but to obey without any room for resistance.

The long-silent new world has stirred up again.

……

……

Not long after.

The bow of a naval warship responsible for deploying troops in the New World.

Wearing a commodore's cloak, Smoker had three cigars dangling from his mouth. The thick smoke billowed around the ship like flowing water, maintaining its balance amidst the surging seawater.

"Brigadier General Smoker."

Just then, a light, melodious voice suddenly came from behind him.

Immediately afterwards, a fair-skinned female swordsman wearing square-framed glasses stepped forward.

Tashigi, who had been promoted to major alongside Smoker, held a detailed report on the operation, her face filled with disbelief.

"What is it, Tashigi?"

Smoker, with a similarly complex expression, turned his head and glanced at her indifferently.

Tashigi pursed her lips, unsure how to begin, and raised the document in her hand. After taking a deep breath, she slowly spoke:

"Brigadier General Smoker, headquarters has identified all the perpetrators of the attack on Mary Geoise..."

"Huh? Are those Revolutionary Army guys?!"

Because the attack happened so suddenly, Smoker, who was only a rookie brigadier general, did not obtain detailed intelligence about the attack before setting sail.

He subconsciously assumed that the mastermind behind this was the revolutionary army.

After all, only they in this world would constantly spout phrases like "all men are created equal" and "liberate slaves and grant them freedom."

However, upon hearing Smoker's guess, a strange look flashed in Tashigi's eyes once again.

"They're not the revolutionary army, but..."

"Never mind, Brigadier General Smoker, you can see for yourself."

Tashigi, too shocked to speak, handed the documents in her hand to Smoker with a complicated expression.

"Hmm?" Smoker glanced at her curiously, then took the thick stack of documents.

What comes into view is a list of pirates' bounties.

Smoker was not unfamiliar with the faces on the list.

Because they are the rookie pirates who have recently made a name for themselves in the first half of the Grand Line.

However, the next second, when some familiar faces came into Smoker's view, the old smoker's expression instantly became abnormal.

Swish-

Smoker quickly flipped through the documents in his hands, and as he read through each page, his originally dignified pupils widened in complete astonishment.

"This...how is this possible!?"

He exclaimed loudly, his face filled with disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Tashigi also showed her shock with gentle eyes.

She subconsciously placed her hand on the Snow Walker at her waist, and her mind involuntarily recalled the man who had given her the Snow Walker in Loguetown and then easily defeated her.

She spoke softly, "I was startled when I saw it too, but the document says this intelligence comes from the Five Elders, who control the World Government, so..."

"There shouldn't be any mistake."

"The Five Elders..."

hiss~

Smoker felt a chill run down his spine, and the documents in his hands inexplicably felt heavier.

"Without realizing it, they've all grown to this level?!" he sighed silently.

His gaze shifted and met Tashigi's.

Seeing his expression, as if he wanted to speak but hesitated, Smoker immediately said:

"Just say what you want to say."

"Ah..." Tashigi hesitated slightly for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and tentatively asked:

"Mr. Smoker, you and the Straw Hat crew should be considered friends, right?"

"You said they took all the slaves from the Holy Land, what are they planning to do?"

“Friends!?” Smoker raised an eyebrow, instinctively retorting, “I don’t have any pirate friends.”

But then a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said:

"However, based on what I know about the Straw Hat crew, they probably don't have any particular intentions in taking the slaves away..."

"Maybe he just doesn't like the Celestial Dragons and wants to free the slaves!"

After all, they've done the same thing before.

"I see." There were no outsiders around, and Tashigi, upon hearing this, wore an attitude of matter-of-fact. "That's quite like their way of doing things."

Because of the frequent incidents involving the Celestial Dragons recently, the Celestial Dragons, who originally didn't have much presence in the Navy, are now frequently mentioned by the Navy.

Over time, and with more exposure, Tashigi also learned about some of the Celestial Dragons' habits.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that being a soldier means following orders, she wouldn't want to participate in this operation at all.
