One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Leave it to me, Crimson!!!"

Sanji, radiating righteousness, accepted the coral bubble as if he were about to accomplish something great.

Usopp, on the other hand, looked helpless because he couldn't immediately enjoy the feast in the Ryugu Palace.

But there's nothing I can do...

Who can blame him when it comes to the fact that his Observation Haki has the widest range among the entire pirate crew?

Even if his special Observation Haki enhances accuracy rather than range...

But compared to the Straw Hat crew, who are all about fighting, he is definitely the best candidate to search for!

"Those who are capable should do more."

This morning they were fighting the Celestial Dragons' Knights of God at the top of the Red Line, and this afternoon they'll be on a search mission 10,000 meters below the surface of the ocean...

If this experience were written into a biography, it would probably garner a lot of admiring glances!

After praising himself in his heart, Usopp responded and, along with Sanji, left the group and headed towards Fishman Town.

They had just seen the map of Fishman Island on the ship on Shark Star.

As for the fatigue and injuries they had suffered in Mary Geoise that morning, they had long since vanished under the power of the machine.

So aside from the fact that some people are like cattle and horses, it's almost impossible for Sanji and Usopp not to complete this mission.

"This……"

Gazing at the flame burning in the seawater, Shark Star's lips parted slightly, but in the end, he was completely at a loss for words.

……

……

"What!?"

"To have a guest help us out of this predicament... this is truly... so embarrassing."

A dozen minutes later, inside the main hall of the Dragon Palace.

Upon hearing Shark Star's report, King Neptune immediately showed a look of astonishment, then turned his massive form towards the Straw Hat crew, who were feasting on the delicacies of Fishman Island.

A ruddy smile and a raised glass.

"Your Majesty Neptune, you needn't be so polite."

"To be honest, the reason we came to Fishman Island is actually to seek some assistance from them!"

"Our help?"

Neptune, with his huge curly orange mustache, glanced at Crimson with curiosity.

He was no stranger to the Straw Hat Pirates' identity.

Within a year of setting sail, he defeated Marine Admiral Kizaru and former Admiral Zephyr, leaving both of them missing to this day...

Such a powerful group was already well-known even on the isolated Fishman Island.

Therefore, he had no doubt that the Straw Hat crew possessed the ability to deal with Vander Decken IX.

However, when he heard that Crimson needed his help, he showed a look of doubt.

Crimson cut to the chase: "It's like this..."

"Before arriving at Fishman Island, we provoked a powerful group of beings, so we may have to hide here in the depths of the sea for a while."

"If possible, I hope His Majesty Neptune can lend us the land in the northern part of Fishman Island—the Sea Forest—for our cultivation and life."

"Huh? The Forest of the Sea!?"

Neptune was taken aback when he heard Crimson's request.

However, the next moment, he shook his head with difficulty: "I'm sorry, Lord Crimson."

"The Sea Forest is a forbidden area on our Fishman Island, and it's extremely dangerous and unsuitable for survival, so..."

"Is it because of the Poneglyphs!?"

Before Neptune could finish speaking, Crimson interrupted him, then said with a smile:

“Your Majesty Neptune, since I dared to make this request, it is naturally because I was prepared in advance.”

"To be honest, the fact that Shirahoshi is the Ancient Weapon Poseidon is no secret to us at all!"

"How...how did you know!?"

Swish! ! !

Neptune and Shark Star, who had been calm, suddenly stood up, looking at Crimson with shock and vigilance as he spoke the most soul-stirring words in the calmest tone.

"Don't get so agitated, your behavior will affect other people's appetites."

Red chuckled, glanced at Luffy who was still in the same state beside him, and then used his powerful superhuman strength to forcefully push Neptune and the other man back into their seats.

He then smiled slightly and raised his glass to the two of them, saying:

"Believe me, after you hear what I have to say, you will think it over carefully."

"after all……"

"Besides dealing with the New Fishman Pirates and Vander Decken IX, I've also brought another great gift to Fishman Island!!!"

"I wonder if His Majesty Neptune will dare to accept this gift?"

Gudong~

Under the intense, red gaze, Neptune, feeling inexplicably nervous, suddenly choked up silently.

For some reason, he had a strange premonition at that moment...

It was as if what Crimson was about to say would shatter his worldview built up over the past few decades.

……

……

"We still haven't seen the Straw Hat Pirates?!"

Exactly 24 hours after the attack on Mary Geoise...

A loud crashing sound suddenly came from within the power chamber of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

The five elders sat on the sofa between the throne room, their faces filled with resentment, like wax figures in various poses.

"There's no point in continuing like this..."

"Either they hid directly on Fishman Island, ten thousand meters underwater, or they possess some kind of underwater movement ability and entered the New World directly from the Navy's encirclement..."

"Whichever it is, it is enough to prove that it is almost impossible for the Navy and CP to capture the Straw Hat Pirates in a short period of time."

"And even if they discover the Straw Hat Pirates..."

The Five Elders, who were speaking, subconsciously glanced at Maz, who had been knocked away by the Straw Hat's three strongest fighters.

Although their defenses are indeed weak, it depends on who they are compared to!

Given the Straw Hat Pirates' current strength, unless they deploy a combined force of the God Knights and Marine Admirals to encircle and annihilate them...

Otherwise, no matter how many people go, they'll just be sending their own people to die for the Straw Hat crew.

There's no other way.

Satan suddenly let out a long sigh:

"At this point, the only option left is to issue the reward."

"Furthermore, notify all major newspapers to report the news as the Straw Hat Pirates invading the Holy Land and being repelled. Under no circumstances should the true situation of the Holy Land be published in the newspapers, so that those mortals who are like ants can see it."

"But..." The bald Five Elders shifted their gaze, "The Straw Hat Pirates' bounties are already quite high, how much should we set for them this time?"

"If the threshold for punishment is set too high, wouldn't that make people suspect something?"

"I can't worry about that anymore!"

A hint of ferocity flashed in Satan's eyes.

"The damage to the castle area this time was too severe..."

"A few slaves and treasures are nothing, but the Celestial Dragons who died this time numbered in the hundreds!"

“Now, some of the patriarchs of various families are trying to cause trouble and have come to question us.”

"To prevent these brainless idiots from escalating the situation and causing even greater consequences..."

"The bounty on the Straw Hat Pirates this time must be severely punished!!!"

"Hmm...I agree..."

"and……"

Maz, who had boasted but failed in his pursuit, nodded in agreement:

"If I'm not mistaken, Monkey D. Luffy's Devil Fruit ability is very likely the one we've been searching for for eight hundred years!"

"If that's the case, then no amount of reward is too high!"

I second that!

I second that!

"........."

"Wow! Is this the Sea Forest you mentioned, Crimson?! It's huge!"

"I didn't expect King Neptune to be so generous, actually willing to lend us such a large area."

"Hehe~ After all, we helped them save nearly two thousand compatriots, didn't we? I can still picture the shocked look on his face back then."

"........."
