One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

The crimson figure, fresh from outer space, smiled and tilted its head back to chuckle at Aokiji:

"Continuing this fight will not be good for the ocean, so let's end this battle here."

"What do you say, Admiral Aokiji?!"

"crimson……"

Aokiji stared intently at the suddenly appearing crimson, his expression extremely solemn.

He knew very well...

Although he was able to completely suppress Sanji and prevent him from gaining any advantage.

On this battlefield, even surviving was a very difficult problem for him.

A swordsman capable of killing Akainu, Straw Hat Luffy who easily led the Five Elders to an unknown location, and the ever-watchful Whitebeard and Kaido...

And then there's Red, the trainer who, though he's never made a move, seems to be strategizing with complete control.

To survive this group's attack, Aokiji only had one thing to say:

"Forget it, I'm tired. Let's just destroy it."

This battle may have been a mistake from the very beginning.

However, at that moment, Crimson suddenly conjured a mysterious potion and threw it at Aokiji from a distance.

"Tired of fighting, Admiral Aokiji?"

"Give me a bottle of healing medicine to restore my strength."

"???"

Aokiji instinctively reached out and caught the glass bottle that Akane threw at him, but he looked completely bewildered.

What...what's going on?!

Aokiji was stunned for a moment, looking at the potion in his hand and then at the smile on his red face.

After thinking for a moment and confirming that he really couldn't escape the encirclement, he picked up the potion in his hand and gulped it down.

After taking a bottle of good medicine, Aokiji's eyes immediately revealed a look of shock.

The mysterious power from the Pokémon world instantly replenished the energy he had lost.

Even if it wasn't the most perfect form, it still greatly restored his spirit and condition.

"This is……"

Aokiji looked puzzled as he gazed at the crimson figure opposite him.

But then, he saw a pitch-black wormhole appear in front of him.

A crimson invitation followed immediately.

He chuckled softly:

"Your Excellency Aokiji has surely seen our sincerity."

"You can rest assured about the battlefield on the naval side. My comrades have done their best to minimize the naval casualties."

"It's better than..."

"Come sit with us and we can discuss the details of Lord Aokiji's appointment as the next Fleet Admiral."

How about this?

Chapter 368 I'm Determined to Be the Fleet Admiral! (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

Inside the pitch-black wormhole, a long, slender leg suddenly emerged and stepped onto the soft carpet of the Whole Cake Island castle.

With a broad smile, Akane greeted the first high-ranking Navy officer to make contact with the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Senior Aokiji, this way please."

The crimson figure walking in front extended a hand to guide them.

At this point, more than half an hour had passed since the Five Elders were sent into outer space.

With Luffy's return, Kaido also became quite sensible and behaved himself.

Before the Straw Hat Pirates take any action against the Beasts, they remain in that sea area as partners of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Because of Kaido's orders, Jack, who was originally fighting on equal terms with the dual-wielding Chopper, was forced to cease hostilities.

that's it……

A war that was destined to be recorded in history ended in a way that no one could have imagined.

The next period of time was spent organizing teams and treating the wounded.

Red, along with some members of the Straw Hat Pirates and Aokiji, returned to Whole Cake Island to discuss their next steps.

That's right!

Although Mega Zoro killed Fleet Admiral Akainu, Red, who knew the plot well, was aware of...

This might not be a bad thing for Aokiji.

After all, he had long been critical of Akainu's sense of justice and was extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the Navy under the World Government's rule.

Perhaps Aokiji hasn't considered this yet, but today's opportunity could very well help him completely overhaul the navy and build a force that truly serves the people!

It was precisely to bring this to Aokiji's attention that Akane specifically called him over for negotiations.

In order to create a relaxed atmosphere for the negotiations, Akane only brought Usopp and Robin, who had a connection with Aokiji, to the meeting.

The other members remained in that area, guarding against any further accidents.

After all, there are multiple forces at the same time, including the Navy, the government forces, the Beasts, and Whitebeard. Getting them to get along is not an easy task.

Led by Crimson, the group walked quickly and soon arrived at a small meeting room that Crimson had prepared, where they took their seats.

At that moment, as the conference room door was closed by a playing card Homie, the heavy-hearted Aokiji could no longer hold back and directly asked:

"So... what is your purpose in bringing me here!?"

"What did you mean by appointing me as Fleet Admiral?!"

Aokiji, having already grasped the current situation, picked up the black tea that Homies had brought him from the table and spoke directly.

However, it was not difficult to see the intense psychological activity in his heart from the complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

His superior was killed in battle, his subordinates were captured, and he himself became a fish on the chopping block...

Even Aokiji, with his exceptional mental fortitude, found it difficult to truly calm down.

"Just say what you have to say!"

He raised his head, his gaze meeting the crimson.

Akame chuckled upon hearing Aokiji's question.

As the victor, he remained calm and smiled as he said:

"You're quite straightforward, Lord Aokiji."

"But since you've asked, I won't bother with any pleasantries!"

Chi Hong put down his teacup, his eyes gradually becoming playful.

"Now that Lord Akainu has died in battle, the Navy is leaderless, Lord Sengoku, who has already retired, will not return, and the World Government cannot simply send in a Fleet Admiral to lead the Navy..."

"In your opinion, under the current circumstances, besides you, Aokiji-senpai, who else is more suitable to be the next Fleet Admiral!"

"........."

Aokiji's eyelids drooped:

"You deliberately killed Akainu, but spared me, didn't you!?"

Clearly, although the conversation had only just begun, Aokiji inevitably misunderstood something due to the issue of factions.

But Crimson quickly denied it:

"No, no, no, Lord Aokiji, you can't say that!"

After denying it, Crimson grinned again and said:

"It was all just a coincidence."

"We just happen to want Akainu dead, and at the same time, we just happen to want you to continue living..."

"After all, we know very well... who serves the World Government and who works hard for the sake of all living beings in this world."

"Akainu is ultimately just a lackey willing to guard the Celestial Dragons' homes..."

"And you, Aokiji-senpai!"

"You are the best candidate to lead the navy and protect the peace of the people of this world!"

"..." Aokiji was silent for a moment, "It's really inexplicably ridiculous to hear this from a pirate like you!"

"Perhaps," Crimson said noncommittally, but continued:

"But that's just how the world is. I think Aokiji-senpai should be long past the age of thinking that the world is black and white."

"Although we pirates aren't exactly good people, at least we've killed quite a few Celestial Dragons."

"The merit of killing one Celestial Dragon is more meaningful than doing ten or a hundred good deeds... I think Lord Aokiji should understand this principle, right?"

"..."

"I admit that the Celestial Dragons are indeed not good people, but that does not absolve you of the crimes you have committed!"

Aokiji's eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of emotion appeared on his face, but it was clearly not an easy thing for him to admit that the pirates were involved.

However, Crimson seemed indifferent to this.

"Then what should we do?"

He scoffed, as if he himself hadn't just been talking about "all living beings under heaven".

"Anyway, we're just a bunch of guys who yearn for freedom, so these troublesome things should naturally be left to those who are willing to worry."

"Speak plainly, Lord Aokiji."
