One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Therefore, even with the Straw Hat Pirates being so powerful today, Jinbe's addition is crucial for them, filling a gap in their crew once again!

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Crimson's mind.

On the other side, the Straw Hat Pirates also expressed their heartfelt feelings about Jinbe's righteous act.

After a brief farewell to Neptune and the others, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through the trachea at the stern of the Going Merry.

The next instant, a surging wave of air burst forth, propelling the Merry directly through the entrance to Fishman Island and into the sea.

Following behind the Going Merry were thirty medium-sized warships of uniform size, flying the Straw Hat Pirates flag.

Seeing the Merry suddenly accelerate, these warships were not to be outdone.

Although it was far less imposing than the Merry, it still suddenly released a large amount of gas from the stern of the ship and moved forward rapidly.

Just by looking at this phenomenon, one can guess...

All of these warships were designed by Franky.

The materials used were naturally the broken ships from the "ship graveyard".

Although these ships were failures in deep-sea navigation, it does not mean that the materials used to build them were inferior.

In addition, many of these ships were built because the crew members died in the deep sea, causing them to drift here with the ocean currents. Some of them are even ships with intact interiors and only minor external damage.

With such a shipbuilding treasure trove at his disposal, given enough time, Franky could easily manage not just thirty, but even three hundred warships.

At this time, each of the thirty standard warships carried more than one hundred Straw Hat Army members, each commanded by a squad leader.

Before leaving Fishman Island and setting off on the expedition, Akane specially gathered the entire Straw Hat crew, who had been training for three months, together. Based on a combination of factors such as their strength and abilities, he selected 3 squad leaders, 6 vice-captains, and 30 squad leaders from among these more than 3,000 people.

The Straw Hat crew was divided into three divisions based on their abilities and fighting styles, each led by a division captain.

Each squad is also equipped with two vice-captains and a varying number of squad leaders.

And all thirty-nine of them who held positions have now become Devil Fruit users!

The three squad captains were each granted powerful Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit abilities obtained from the Satan Holy Experiment Layer by Crimson.

They are respectively...

Zoan type, Mythical Zoan, Human-Human Fruit, Rain Woman form;

Zoan type, Mythical Zoan, Horse-Horse Fruit, Unicorn form;

Zoan type, Mythical Zoan, Inu Inu no Mi (Dog-Dog Fruit), Tengu form.

The user of the Rain Woman Fruit, and the captain of the First Division, is a female swordswoman named Tsukishiro Hato.

It's hard to imagine...

The strongest among these three thousand people was actually a woman with a gentle appearance and a age of over thirty!

According to Yuto Tsukishiro's self-introduction, ten years ago, she was also one of the supernovas who were once famous in the first half of the Grand Line.

However, at that time, she was blinded by the fame before her and underestimated the strong people in the world.

After entering the New World, she was quickly attacked and captured by powerful figures from the New World. After several transfers, she became a slave in an auction house and was eventually taken to Mary Geoise.

He remained a slave for ten years!

No one knows what she went through in those ten years, but Yuecheng Yutu once revealed it after drinking at a banquet...

During those ten years, she, like everyone else, thought countless times about ending it all.

But in the end, it was her indomitable spirit that kept her going and allowed her to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Now, she has not only gained the power of a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit and the power of a Pokémon, but also, when she was granted the position of squad leader, she obtained the Great Grade Sword No. 21, Shusui, from Akane's hands!

This famous sword, abandoned by Zoro, continues to shine for the Straw Hat Pirates in a different way.

With these resources, while they might not be enough to instantly propel Yuecheng Yutu to become a powerful figure who commands respect...

But at least now she has enough qualifications to challenge the world's top!

Despite consuming the Rain Woman Fruit, a flame of revenge forever burns within Tsukishiro Hato's heart!

This flame was also the driving force that propelled her forward, leading her to cultivate almost desperately over the course of three months.

With her already considerable talent, she has been able to successfully and skillfully utilize the three techniques of Tempest Kick, Paper Drawing, and Shave in combat.

Because of her great talent, Crimson placed high hopes on Hato Tsukishiro, not only granting her the position of captain of the First Division with the authority of a captain-general, but also transferring all the most talented among the more than three thousand Avengers to the First Division.

Crimson believes... that in time, this team will bring a huge surprise to the world.

The other two captains also had similar experiences to Tsukishiro Yuto.

Banagher, the captain of the second division, consumed the Mythical Zoan-type Unicorn Fruit.

He was a boy who looked young, but his body, like Franky's, was almost entirely filled with various metallic materials.

According to Banagher's self-introduction, he was sold to the Celestial Dragons by human traffickers when he was very young and became an experimental subject in a certain experiment of the Satan Saints.

Because the experiment required the "subject" to have certain physical qualities, he underwent years of brutal special training and drug injections under the coercion of the Celestial Dragons.

Ultimately, the experiment ended in failure.

Perhaps due to sheer luck, Banagher, who had lost most of his body, miraculously survived in the experimental chamber.

However, his body had been occupied by various metals, and his physical condition was permanently frozen at this stage, making him a completely cyborg.

Because the experiment failed, the project was halted, and Banagher, having lost his usefulness, was thrown by Pangaea to the castle area below, where he, along with thousands of slaves, was responsible for the operation of the underground conveyor belts in the castle area.

Fortunately, as the person in power in the world, even in an experiment that was likely to fail, Saint Satan used only the best materials in the world.

With this metallic body, Banagher endured years of darkness in the underworld, watching one by one those around him fall on this endless road to ruin.

But at that moment, the Straw Hat Pirates arrived in Mary Geoise like saviors, accomplishing an unprecedented feat!

Having been trampled underfoot and used as a slave, he naturally refused to let go of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government who were playing with his fate!

Driven by the flames of revenge, he boldly approached Franky of the Straw Hat Pirates from the very beginning, asking him to help him modify his body.

He had seen Franky fighting during the previous raid on Mary Geoise, so he knew that the two of them were the same kind of people.

Franky, of course, would not refuse such a request.

After learning about Banagher's past during their conversation, he wept and took him in as his chief disciple, meticulously modifying his body.

The person who usually accompanies Chopper to class and learn mechanical principles is none other than Banagher!

Banagher's appointment as captain of the second division was somewhat due to some clever maneuvering.

After all, the vast majority of his power comes from Franky's actions.

However, when recommending talented individuals, one should not avoid relatives or friends.

Since he was able to defeat others and become the second strongest member of the Straw Hat Pirates, Red would naturally not take the initiative to change the rules.

Moreover, given his relationship with Franky, he could even be considered the closest person to the Straw Hat crew in terms of their relationship.

The effects of the Unicorn Kingdom Fruit successfully granted Banagher the power to manipulate light and extremely fast movement speed.

At the same time, after transforming, the metal parts on his body will also transform along with him, making him a mechanical unicorn warrior!

The second battalion led by Banagher consisted mostly of men skilled in long-range attacks or highly mobile.

He and his captain were a surprisingly good match.

As for the third captain, Gratoni... his situation is a bit more special.

I don't know if it was due to pre-existing conditions before becoming a slave, or acquired conditions after becoming a slave...

In short, Gratoni, who clearly has a 2.8-meter-tall and muscular physique, is in a state that is somewhat different from ordinary people.

To put it nicely, he's a bit simple-minded; to put it bluntly, he's...

Low IQ.

It's not that he's an idiot; he can handle basic daily conversations, and he's certainly better than Edward Weevil, the rumored son of Whitebeard.

However, his brain seems to have lost the habit of thinking and can only engage in linear thinking.

If you ask him to do something, he can complete it meticulously.

But if you let him make his own judgment, he can stand there dumbfounded until drool drips from the corner of his mouth.

If it weren't for the precipitous gap in strength between Gratoni and the fourth-ranked player, Crimson wouldn't have appointed him as the third captain.

Fortunately, compared to the first two brigades, the third brigade consisted mostly of reckless and impulsive men, whose style of action was simple and straightforward.

Such people would not only not despise Gratoni's intelligence, but would also genuinely admire him because of his extraordinary strength.

The Tengu Fruit that Glatoni ate also perfectly matched his abilities!

The Tengu Fruit's strongest effect is that it allows one to increase their strength by constantly eating, making it a fruit ability that Luffy would absolutely envy.

For users of the Tengu Fruit, "eating" itself is a form of spiritual practice!

In addition, users of the Tengu Fruit can also summon black flames to attack enemies.

This flame doesn't have an excessively high temperature, but it can quickly engulf the enemy's body.

The area scorched by the flames was not left with burns, but rather with mutilation as if it had been torn apart by a wild beast!

Its abilities can be described as extremely domineering.

Even the most bizarre abilities can be restrained by powerful domineering aura.

In addition, the remaining six vice-captains were also granted Devil Fruits with considerable abilities by Red.

The two vice-captains of the First Division ate the Paramecia-type Cool-Cool Fruit, which allows them to cool down their bodies, and the Logia-type Cloud-Cloud Fruit, which allows them to turn their bodies into clouds.

Originally, Nami almost ate this Logia-type Cloud-Cloud Fruit, as it was on her list of fruits she wanted to consume.

However, the effects of the Disaster Fruit are far too domineering, directly summoning and controlling various natural disasters, far surpassing the Cloud-Cloud Fruit which allows combat through clouds.

In addition, Red said that Paramecia types are easier to awaken than Logia types...

That's why Nami gave up the Cloud-Cloud Fruit.

The two vice-captains of the second division ate the Paramecia-type Gear Fruit and the Paramecia-type Iron-Iron Fruit, respectively.

The former's effect is to transform the body into a gear or gear structure, and then amplify the force of combat or the speed of movement by controlling the speed of gear rotation.

The Iron-Iron Fruit's ability is more like a counterpart to the Gold-Gold Fruit.

The effect is the same as the Gold-Gold Fruit, allowing you to control iron to be molded or manipulated.
