One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Thanks so much, hat guy!"

After figuring everything out, the straightforward Bartolomeo immediately laughed and patted Law on the shoulder, then looked at Jinbe standing to the side.

His eyes suddenly narrowed, and after looking Jinbe up and down several times, Bartolomeo suddenly showed a shocked expression.

"Wait a minute... I think I know you!"

"Hey you, aren't you Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?!"

"That's right, it is indeed me!"

He answered calmly and indifferently.

After a moment of slight shock, Barto showed a look of sudden realization, and then grinned broadly:

"So it really was you!"

"I knew it looked familiar!!!"

"So you joined the Straw Hat Pirates too?! That makes sense!"

"What's so good about being a lackey of the World Government? You should abandon the darkness and embrace the light as soon as possible. When Luffy and his crew conquer the world in the future, they might even reward you with an official position!"

"Forehead……"

Jinbe, with his calm and collected personality, seems ill-suited to getting along with someone as outgoing as Bartolomeo.

Although he was only there to help, he didn't intend to explain anything further.

"Time is limited. Your companions should still be imprisoned elsewhere, right?"

"I think we should hurry up and rescue them!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Bucky, realizing he was still in enemy territory, immediately nodded.

But then he was stumped.

"But... we were knocked unconscious and brought here, I don't know where Galdino and the others were being held!"

"Have you forgotten how we found us?!"

Upon hearing this, Luo touched his temple twice with his fingers, then calmly smiled and said:

“You all bear the spiritual imprints planted by Lord Crimson…”

"It was Lord Crimson who guided me to you!"

"I see!" Bucky exclaimed with delight. "Then we'll be able to find the others very soon!"

"Praise be to Lord Crimson!"

"Praise the Straw Hat Pirates!!!"

Bucky and Barto instantly became like devout believers, crossing their arms in prayer.

Without further ado, the four of them got to work immediately.

Using the location of the mental imprint left by Crimson, Law and his group quickly arrived at the dungeon where the two pirate members were being held.

"Captain Bucky!!!"

"Boss Barto!!!"

"I knew you'd come to save us!"

"That's right! One failure is not terrible. Once we return to the sea and rebuild our country, we will take revenge on this defeat sooner or later."

Upon seeing Buggy and his companion, the pirates immediately stood up excitedly.

Although their pirate crew was easily defeated by others, it did not affect their morale.

Looking at their energetic expressions, you would never guess that they had actually been imprisoned in this dungeon for several days.

Because they were absolutely certain... that their captain would not abandon them!

This is not just simple trust, it's faith!

As it turns out, their faith did not abandon them.

The pirates' frenzied display of fervor made Law and Jinbe take a second look at Buggy, the clown, with newfound respect.

The ability to cultivate such a high level of cohesion among so many subordinates is something that ordinary pirates cannot achieve!

Shh! Shut up!!!

However, at that moment...

Seeing the dungeon instantly erupt in chaos, Bucky suddenly pointed a finger and then solemnly signaled everyone to be quiet.

The next instant, he suddenly unfurled his somewhat tattered cloak, his body soaring into the air, and shouted at the pirates below:

"What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?!"

"Do you really think that a mere high-ranking officer of a Yonko pirate crew can defeat us?!"

"All of this was nothing more than a scheme devised by Captain Barto and me!"

"All for the purpose of guiding the Straw Hat Pirates, and then taking down the Yonko Big Mom Pirates in one fell swoop!!!"

"Occupy this vast sea area!!!"

"We have not been defeated..."

"We are... the vanguard of the Straw Hat Pirates!!!"

On the way there, Buggy learned from Law about the Straw Hat crew's next plan.

So, in an attempt to salvage his image after being completely outshone by Smoothie, Bucky hastily cobbled together a brief declaration.

"........."

"........."

Upon hearing Buggy's outrageous declaration, Jinbe and Law immediately showed expressions of confusion.

The two looked at Bucky in mid-air with suspicion, especially at his face, which was grinning wildly with an arrogant smile.

It must be said... this is an extremely captivating face.

After Bucky finished speaking, the entire dungeon fell silent for a few seconds...

Immediately afterwards, a sound powerful enough to overturn the entire dungeon erupted.

"oh------!!!!"

"I knew it! Captain Bucky and Boss Barto are so strong, how could they be easily defeated by a woman!"

"But...why were Captain Bucky and his crew taken down without any resistance whatsoever!?"

"idiot!"

Peng!

A slap landed on the back of the pirate's head.

"If that's the case, what if they discover Captain Bucky and Boss Barto's true strength? Wouldn't they be less likely to imprison us so easily...?"

"How can we possibly be considered vanguards?!"

"I see!!!"

The pirate, jolted awake by the slap, suddenly realized what was happening. His eyes flashed with golden light, and he waved his arms, shouting:

"I knew it! Captain Bucky is the strongest!!!"

"........."

"........."

The dungeon was instantly bustling with activity.

Those who don't know might even think this is the venue for Big Mom's Pirates' tea party.

At this moment, only Jinbe and Law had black lines on their foreheads, looking at the cheering pirates with confusion.

The vanguard of the Straw Hat Pirates!?

Why have they never heard of this before?

And there is...

Weren't they here to rescue people?

Is it really a good idea to make such a big fuss?

Countless questions flashed through Jinbe and his companion's minds.

But before they could even interrupt Bucky's maniacal laughter...

Just then, a voice suddenly came from another corner of the dungeon:

"You...are members of the Straw Hat Pirates!?"

"You've come to attack Big Mom's pirate crew!?"

"Um!?"

The sudden question stood out amidst the cheers and immediately caught Bucky's attention.

He swayed his tattered yet imposing cloak, which made him look like a hero after a battle, and quickly flew to the dungeon entrance from which the sound came.

A werewolf-like mink gripped the railing tightly with its sharp claws and shouted at Bucky:

"You're the Straw Hat Pirates who attacked Mary Geoise not long ago!?"

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this prestigious title, Bucky, despite being unaware of it and having no involvement in it, proudly accepted it:

"We are the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"I am Captain Buggy of the Buggy Pirates, the largest fleet under the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Do you have anything to say?!"

"A large fleet? Captain Bucky?!"
