One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Hahaha, the Navy hasn't even noticed Red yet? I'm sure a large portion of Luffy's 5000 million bounty is thanks to Red!!!"

Cheers to Crimson!!!

"Hey! The village has produced such a vicious criminal, and you guys still have the nerve to celebrate?!"

An old man with a cane suddenly pushed open the tavern door and shouted at the cheering villagers inside.

However, his rebuke had no effect whatsoever; instead, it only provoked the villagers to cheer again.

"Cheers to Luffy and Red!!!"

"You bunch of guys..."

The village chief sat next to the bar with a headache on his face.

"Calm down, village chief."

The bar owner, Makino, smiled gently and brought the village chief a cup of hot tea.

"Everyone is happy that Luffy has embarked on the path to pursue his dream."

"Look at this child, how happy he is!"

Makino picked up a wanted poster for Luffy from the table, her eyes gleaming, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Seriously! I don't know what Akane was thinking!? She actually chose to set sail with Luffy!!!"

The village chief picked up the hot tea, took a small sip, then shook his head and sighed:

"I was planning to train him to be the next village chief, but that brat Luffy dragged him to the sea!"

"This is utter nonsense!"

“Crimson red…”

Upon hearing the village chief mention Crimson's name, Makino's eyes sparkled once more.

Having spent more than two years together, Makino is arguably the person in the entire Windmill Town who understands Crimson the most.

Even she didn't understand why Crimson would suddenly choose to go to sea and become a pirate.

but……

Since the child has already made his decision, it means there is something he is looking for on the sea.

Looking at the joyful atmosphere in the tavern, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on Makino's lips as she silently murmured to herself:

"Remember to eat on time, Crimson..."

Chapter 37 Xiluobu Village

The Grand Line, an island in the New World.

Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, sat on a rock, holding a brand-new bounty poster.

He gazed at the boundless blue sea, his eyes sparkling, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Has he finally arrived, Luffy!?"

Wave after wave crashes against the resilient reefs, leaving behind the marks of time.

……

On the Moby Dick in the New World.

A man with freckles on his face and wearing an orange cowboy hat ran excitedly across the deck and arrived at the gathering place of the white-bearded officers.

"Hey! Did you guys see that?! Did you see that?!"

wow-

The man unfurled the wanted poster in his hand and then burst into laughter at everyone present:

"Look! Look!"

"This guy is my brother, and he's also wanted by the World Government!"

"Your brother?"

A man with a pineapple-shaped haircut looked at the contents of the bounty poster and suddenly clicked his tongue in amazement:

"A bounty of 5000 million Berries on your first try, Ace. Looks like your brother is an even more formidable character than you!"

A burly man standing nearby chimed in:

"Why don't you introduce him to the Whitebeard Pirates? That way we can be family."

"Hahaha, forget it, Jozu." Ace laughed and said, "Luffy is the kind of guy who will never join someone else's pirate crew."

"He's always been saying he wants to become the Pirate King!"

"Oh? Isn't that just like you before?" Marco teased, glancing at Ace.

After all, not long ago, Ace had been shouting that he wanted to become the Pirate King, and then he came to challenge the Whitebeard Pirates in one fell swoop.

"Damn it! Didn't we agree not to mention that again?!"

Ace suddenly lunged forward, instantly tackling the unsuspecting Marco to the ground.

Inadvertently, the bounty poster slipped from his hand and fell out.

A sea breeze blew by, and the bounty poster fluttered up, unintentionally landing in the hands of a tall man.

"Ace's brother!?"

Edward Newgate, one of the Four Emperors known as the world's strongest, stared at the familiar straw hat on the wanted poster, his eyes suddenly becoming unfocused.

"Interesting... Gurararararar!!!"

While receiving an IV drip, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a crescent-shaped smile that was both hearty and domineering.

Its laughter pierced the sky, and its terrifying aura even shattered the clouds high above.

Ignoring the various IV lines attached to his body, the white-bearded man stood up and laughed loudly:

"My sons!"

"To celebrate Ace's brother's successful bounty being placed, let's..."

"Let's have a banquet!!!"

"oh--!!!"

In an instant, cheers erupted throughout the Moby Dick.

A grand banquet was held without any prior preparation.

As for who Ace's brother is...?

How many members of the entire Whitebeard Pirates would even care?

They just wanted an excuse to throw a party.

However, in a deserted corner, there was a man with a full black beard, eating meat while staring at the letter "D" on Luffy's bounty poster.

"He seems like a rather unusual guy."

"Hahaha..."

……

East China Sea, Orange Town.

Inside the Clown Pirates' headquarters.

Bucky, who was in the middle of a meeting discussing the next steps, was suddenly interrupted by an unprecedented shout.

"Captain Bucky!!! Captain Bucky!!!..."

A comically-looking pirate came running over in a panic, then abruptly handed over the wanted poster, panting as he said:

"Captain Bucky, look!!!"

"Huh?! What is that?"

Bucky curiously accepted the bounty poster.

His eyes suddenly widened.

"This...this is!?"

"This is Lord Luffy's bounty poster!!!" The pirate running over shouted excitedly, "Lord Luffy has actually received a bounty of 5000 million Berries!"

"No wonder Captain Bucky values ​​him, he's truly extraordinary!"

The errand-running pirates never miss an opportunity to flatter Buggy.

Bucky's voice also turned serious, his gaze fixed intently on the straw hat.

"Yeah..." he said, seemingly agreeing with the errand-running pirate.

But in his heart, he was already muttering viciously:

"As expected of someone Shanks values ​​so highly, you are truly extraordinary!"

Buggy knew very well that although the person he drank the sworn brotherhood sake with was Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat crew.

But he and Luffy can never be on the same path!

The person he truly needs to be loyal to and obey is actually Red, the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates!

This does not mean he is disloyal to the Straw Hat crew.

Now that he has drunk the oath of brotherhood, according to the rules of pirates, he must follow the Straw Hat crew forever.

Buggy is a traditional pirate, so he will naturally strictly abide by this rule.

Even within a large pirate crew, there will inevitably be different factions or smaller groups.

And he was one of the people who followed the first mate, Red!

……

……

Luffy's bounty did not cause much of a stir in the Grand Line.
