One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

A bounty of 5000 million might carry some weight, but in the Grand Line, where powerful individuals abound, such individuals are simply a dime a dozen.

However, compared to the uneventful Grand Line, many people in the East Blue at this time have been terrified by this bounty poster.

……

……

East China Sea, Xiluobu Village.

As a remote village with few people and no special products, it was fortunate to become an island that even pirates didn't bother to visit.

The village was quiet and peaceful, and the villagers worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, year after year, day after day.

Aside from a long-nosed liar who loudly proclaims the arrival of pirates every morning, there's nothing particularly special about the village.

Today, this long-nosed creature, amidst the chaotic chase of the villagers, completed a long-distance run across the entire village.

in the afternoon.

In the forest outside Syrup Village, Usopp, with his healthy wheat-colored skin and wearing a brown-yellow tank top, sniffed the air, inhaling the fragrance of the grass.

"What a beautiful day!"

Having just woken up from a nap, he stretched and then shouted:

"Okay! My break is over! I'm going to tell Kaya about my adventures in the underwater world soon!"

"Well then... in the time leading up to that, let's practice our shooting skills!"

Usopp stretched his arms, as if he was about to do something big.

But just then, a noisy shout suddenly came from the distant country road:

"Something terrible has happened! Something horrible has occurred!!!"

"Captain Usopp!!!"

Three little devils, who looked to be only 8 or 9 years old, came running over, baring their teeth and brandishing their claws, shouting and yelling.

"Huh!? It's you guys!"

Looking at his three subordinates, Usopp immediately put on a calm demeanor, crossed his arms, and looked down at the three of them.

"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and in such a state!"

"As a pirate, you need to know how to stay calm, you know!?"

"Yes, Captain Usopp!"

The three brats who ran up to Usopp immediately answered.

But then a little imp with an onion-shaped head handed Usopp a newspaper and a bounty poster.

"But... Captain Usopp... the situation is really bad!"

"What happened?"

Usopp calmly accepted the bounty poster, slowly opened it, and then...

He suddenly fell silent.

A minute later, the three little devils let out a soft, puzzled cry.

"Captain Usopp?"

Seeing that Usopp did not react, the three moved to his side.

They immediately saw...

Captain Usopp, who always acted tough in front of them, was now sweating profusely, his eyes filled with fear.

"Ugh……"

The three little devils exchanged a glance and then helplessly shrugged.

It seems not at all surprising that Usopp would react this way.

The seemingly calm Radish Head coughed lightly:

"Ahem, Captain Usopp, a great pirate has appeared in the East Blue."

"The newspapers say they attacked the 153rd Naval Branch in the East China Sea two days ago."

"I remember this naval branch, it seems to be not far from Xirob Village..."

Chapter 38 Invitation

"Huh?...Ah!"

Usopp, suddenly regaining his senses, fearfully put down the newspaper and the bounty poster.

At this moment, his face turned ashen, looking extremely ugly, yet he still stubbornly said:

"Heh...heh! Young people these days really love to show off!"

However, Usopp's mind immediately began to race.

If Radish Head knows the information, how could he not know it!

Moreover, Usopp thinks much more than Radish Head!

He noticed a newspaper report that someone had apparently spotted the pirates in Orange, in the Organ Islands!

Organ Islands...

Isn't that right next to the Moonlight Islands where Syrob Village is located?!?

This is more than just not far!

You should know...

Following the extended shipping route from the waters around Four Leaf Island, where Branch 153 is located, to the Organ Islands...

Their next stop might be Xirob Village!

Judging by the timeline, it should only take a few days!

Unless the pirates suddenly change course and head to other seas, Xiluobu Village is very likely to become a target of pirate attacks!

"Something terrible is about to happen!!!"

Realizing this, Usopp hurriedly and hastily put away the newspaper, then said to the three little ones:

"Today's event has been changed! We have more important things to do!"

He pointed to the newspaper with his finger.

"This group of pirates is very likely to pass through Syrup Village. We must let the villagers know about this and make preparations in advance!"

"what?"

The three kids obviously didn't have Usopp's long-term vision, but since they were used to following Usopp's orders, they immediately nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Captain Usopp!"

The group immediately sprang into action.

However, before they could return to the village, a voice from behind suddenly called out to them.

"Hey!!! Are you from this village?"

"Could you take us to find a good restaurant?"

"Huh?! I have important business to attend to right now, I don't have time for this..." Usopp turned around impatiently, preoccupied with his own business.

But just as he was about to give a domineering refusal, his expression suddenly froze.

In his line of sight, he saw four figures slowly walking uphill from the shore.

A beautiful girl with orange hair, a man carrying three long swords, a boy wearing a red baseball cap...

And someone he had just seen on the bounty poster—the Straw Hat Boy!!!

"It's...it's Straw Hat Luffy!!! The great pirate with a bounty of 5000 million Berries!"

Usopp's legs went weak and he almost fainted.

The person who asked the question, Luffy, came up to him and said with a grin:

"I'll give you money if you can take me to a good restaurant!!!"

"Hey Luffy, the allowance I gave you isn't for you to squander!!!"

Nami, standing next to Luffy, scolded him in dissatisfaction.

But Luffy just laughed it off, completely unconcerned.

"What does it matter! Money is meant to be spent anyway!"

"You rascal, it's precisely because of your behavior that I don't want to give you pocket money!"

"No, give me back your allowance, and I'll decide how you spend it!"

Nami immediately regretted it, but Luffy refused to return the money.

The two began to argue fiercely about pocket money.

At this moment, Usopp finally recovered from his initial shock.

He stared blankly at the wanted poster in his hand, carefully comparing it several times, and then there was Nami's shout of "Luffy"...

Usopp can now confirm...

They are that vicious gang of pirates!!!

"The pirates...the pirates are here!!!"

Usopp, who was in a state of extreme panic, finally couldn't hold back and shouted with his hands raised.

His shout successfully drew everyone's attention to him.

"........."

Usopp realized he had done something really stupid.

He then thought of the three little devils beside him, and quickly shielded them behind him, his legs trembling as he said:
