One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Therefore, I feel it is necessary for us to personally participate in this battle."

"agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

Four quick chorus of approval rang out, and the eyes of all the Five Elders instantly blazed with fury.

Because no one can guarantee that if this mission fails again, Lord Im won't hold them responsible for the loss of face.

them……

I don't want to die yet!

Soon, an order from the highest authority of the World Government was issued to the top ranks of all military forces under the World Government.

And this year's umpteenth military-wide combat readiness exercise will also be launched again.

……

……

Navy, New Marineford.

Akainu, with a cigar dangling from his mouth, stared at the secret order that the Den Den Mushi had just spat out, and his face instantly contorted in anger.

"hateful!"

He couldn't help but burst into a tirade:

"These bastards, don't they know the [World Recruiting] plan has only just begun!?"

"Is the navy trying to humiliate itself again by rashly deploying its exhausted forces at this time?!"

As the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, Akainu was certainly aware that the Straw Hat Pirates had defeated the Big Mom Pirates.

However, since he took over the navy, the navy has launched several large-scale operations that have consumed manpower and resources but yielded no results...

As a result, the navy is not only not stronger than it was before he took over, but is actually much weaker.

The recent global unrest has also led to a surge in pirates on the high seas.

Akainu originally planned to personally lead a team to organize a pirate cleanup operation to demonstrate the might of the Navy and, incidentally, to promote the "World Recruiting Plan".

But just as he had finished preparing everything, he received instructions from the Five Elders.

"........."

"There's no other way!"

After a long silence, Akainu decided to obediently follow the World Government's orders.

After all, without funding from the World Government, the World Recruiting Program would be difficult to continue.

and……

"If we could wipe out a Yonko-level pirate crew at this time, it might be more effective than simply eradicating pirates."

"only……"

The series of failures has caused the once incredibly confident Iron-Blooded Akainu to begin to doubt himself.

"Will this operation really achieve its goal?!"

Akainu was naturally very familiar with the name Straw Hat Pirates.

It wasn't because they attacked Mary Geoise...

The reason he was able to rise to the rank of Fleet Admiral was largely due to this pirate crew!

If the Straw Hat crew hadn't attacked Enies Lobby and defeated Kizaru, Zephyr, and the island's garrison, leaving a huge stain on the reputation of acting Fleet Admiral Tsuru, the Five Elders wouldn't have been able to appoint the next Fleet Admiral so quickly.

Despite having many ideas in mind, Akainu ultimately had no choice but to be forced into the task and immediately begin arranging the fleet according to the Five Elders' orders.

This time, he not only plans to send out the Navy's only Admiral, Aokiji, but also intends to personally lead the operation to ensure its success.

……

……

"Is there work coming up again?"

Inside the lounge reserved for naval admirals.

Aokiji, who was sleeping with a newspaper over his head, was awakened by the messenger's report.

After hearing the instructions for this operation, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"The Straw Hat Pirates... is it that troublesome pirate crew again!?"

As the Navy gathers more and more information about the Straw Hat Pirates, Aokiji is now guessing...

The ship that I briefly glimpsed below Skypiea back then was very likely the Going Merry, the pirate ship of the Straw Hat Pirates with a bounty of 13 billion Berries!

In other words... the Straw Hat Pirates may have been involved in the operation against the Celestial Dragons from a very early stage.

However, even though he had guessed this, Aokiji did not reveal this information to Akainu or anyone else.

After all... the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates is not only a powerful pirate, but also the grandson of his mentor, the Marine hero Garp!

"This is really giving me a headache!"

Since failing to secure the position of Fleet Admiral, Aokiji has been restless and unsettled. At this moment, he truly felt an unprecedented sense of agitation!

……

……

"Quick! Increase the spray of the Cotton Candy Snow SOIR! Make sure the entire Universal Territory is filled with warning psychic waves! Don't let a single one escape, or I'll hold you all accountable!!!"

In the heart of Cotton Candy Island, in the waters of the world.

A figure with a red nose swiftly swept across a sky filled with white snowflakes, issuing commands to a group of giant cotton candy Homies working hard below.

And this figure was none other than Buggy the Clown, who had successfully taken over the position of Minister of Cotton Candy Island and was appointed Lord of Cotton Candy Island by Crimson!

Meanwhile, below the cotton candy factory, a user who had eaten the Horse-Horse Fruit in its zebra form was holding Buggy's feet and running frantically behind him.

As the zebra-shaped ability ran, it couldn't help but gaze fascinated at the restless feet in its hands.

If someone were to come to his side at this moment, they would hear his low, muttering monologue:

"I am so happy to be able to hold Captain Bucky's feet!"

"I have no regrets in this life!!!"

Look at their Captain Bucky...

There are even people who doubt that Captain Bucky's previous claim of being the "vanguard" was entirely fabricated and made up by him...

However, as soon as the Straw Hat Pirates occupied the Whole Cake Island, they immediately gave Captain Buggy Cotton Candy Island, an important island responsible for monitoring the entire Whole Cake Island.

Isn't that enough to show Captain Buggy's status in the hearts of the Straw Hat crew?!

Zebra Pirate sighed inwardly, forgetting himself.

However, they completely forgot about the first mate, Galdino, who was currently building sturdy wax walls around Cotton Candy Island.

the other side.

With the number 3 above his head, Galdino was seen spraying large amounts of white wax liquid from his hands while continuously feeding himself medicine to restore his strength, working like a beast of burden.

This contrasts sharply with Bucky, who laughs wildly and surveys his territory in the sky.

……

……

On the other side, inside the Cake Island castle.

Chi Hong sat on a large chair, looking at the two beautiful women with graceful figures in front of him with a smile.

"We are very pleased that you two trust us and are willing to join our side."

"Don't worry, you should be able to tell from our captain's behavior that the Straw Hat Grand Fleet is a relaxed and happy group and won't cause you too much trouble."

"Isn't this the time to say such things, First Mate Crimson!?"

Stussy, with her sexy blonde hair, twisted her waist.

Perhaps because she had never clashed with the Straw Hat crew from beginning to end, she was in an extra relaxed state at this moment.

Stussy said directly:

“You should be very clear that I am not representing ‘myself’.”

"As the link between you, I inevitably have shortcomings. I hope Lord Crimson will not make things too difficult for me."

"Oh? Is that so?" Crimson smiled, looking at her with admiration: "But I have complete faith in your abilities."

"Ha~" Stussy opened the fragrant velvet folding fan in her hand, partially obscuring her delicate face, and then exclaimed in surprise:

"I never imagined that I held such a high place in Lord Crimson's heart..."

"In that case, I am truly grateful for your appreciation, sir."

“Hehe…” Crimson chuckled softly, then added, “Trust me…”

"I know you better than you know yourself!"

As soon as Scarlet finished speaking, a flicker of tremor flashed in Stussy's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

The two exchanged a smile, their eyes revealing a look that seemed to see right through each other yet concealed their true feelings.

After a moment of silence, Crimson suddenly spoke up with a laugh:

"Alright, let's cut the chit-chat."

"Stusi, I have an important task for you to do!"

"What is it?" Stussy asked, feigning a listening posture, as if he had instantly switched into the role of a subordinate.

Crimson, however, spoke each word clearly:

"I hope you can become the new leader of Akatsuki and lead Akatsuki to quickly unify the underworld!"
