One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"I can introduce you to some assistants to help you quickly expand the navy's strength in the current situation, so that you can sit firmly on the marshal's seat."

"And all I want is to see people who are serious about their work sitting where they should be."

Crimson looked at Aokiji again, her gaze fervent, and said:

"To show our sincerity..."

Snapped!

Crimson suddenly snapped his fingers crisply.

Usopp, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward.

Suddenly, he stretched out his palm, and in an instant, a large wooden door appeared in his palm and opened quickly.

Immediately afterwards, a large container resembling a time capsule suddenly appeared from the pitch-black space.

The container was filled with a strangely colored nutrient solution... and a comatose purple-haired human.

Upon seeing the container that suddenly appeared before him, Aokiji's expression changed drastically. He immediately stood up in surprise and exclaimed:

"Ze...Ze-fa teacher!?"

That's right, this is the first gift that Akane prepared for Aokiji's inauguration!

Former Marine Admiral Zephyr, who was imprisoned by Usopp for half a year!

Wow!!!

With a gentle press of the bright red button on the container, the nutrient solution inside the large container immediately poured out.

Upon being exposed to air again, Zephyr coughed violently a few times before slowly opening his eyes.

"This is……"

He raised his head blankly, staring at the unfamiliar scene before him.

The prolonged coma had already caused his consciousness to become confused.

Fortunately, at that moment, Aokiji stepped forward and opened the sealed glass cover.

"Teacher Zephyr!"

Aokiji shouted excitedly.

Although Kizaru and Zephyr have always been listed as missing in the Navy's records.

However, after half a year, everyone had come to accept that the two had been sacrificed.

No one said it outright.

To Aokiji, being able to see his mentor Zephyr again was like seeing an old friend come back to life.

"Well, Lord Aokiji, are you satisfied with my gift?"

At this moment, Crimson chuckled softly, interrupting Aokiji's gathering of emotions.

"Among the high command of the Navy, almost all of them are students of Senior Zephyr. With Senior Zephyr's help, you can almost certainly sit firmly on the seat of Fleet Admiral without any controversy!"

"...Aokiji...pirate brat!?"

Zefa, who had been relying on nutrient solution to replenish his energy for half a year, weakly crawled out of the container.

After being helped onto Aokiji, he saw Aokiji and Akame appear at the same time, and his unconscious consciousness instantly returned.

At the same time, he also remembered... the culprit who had kept him unconscious for so long.

However, just as he was about to gather all his strength, Aokiji, as if he had expected it, suddenly placed his arm on Zephyr's shoulder and said:

“Professor Zephyr, the situation is rather unusual right now, so please sit here and rest for a while.”

"I'll explain the rest to you in a bit."

As they were talking, Aokiji pressed the weakened Zephyr down into a seat without saying a word.

At that moment, Zephyr suddenly realized the emptiness in his arm...

Realizing the abnormal weakness he felt, Zephyr suppressed his fighting spirit and obediently sat down.

Seeing Zephyr's cooperation, Aokiji breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately looked at Usopp and the warehouse door that was slowly disappearing from his palm.

If he's right, Kizaru, who disappeared along with Zephyr, should also be behind that door.

Usopp, the King of the Zerg...

Perhaps his existence poses an even greater threat to the World Government than that of the curly-browed guy.

but……

Aokiji shifted his gaze and looked at Akame again.

Perhaps after today, he will no longer have to worry about the safety of the world government.

After much deliberation, Aokiji finally spoke in a deep voice:

"Your gift..."

"I can't refuse!"

"Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple." Seeing that Aokiji's attitude had softened, his crimson eyes flashed, and he immediately seized the opportunity to say:

"I know a group of people who care deeply about the well-being of all people..."

"It's just that they seem to have some kind of grudge against the World Government, so they can't join the Navy through proper channels."

"So I hope that after Lord Aokiji becomes the Fleet Admiral, I can help these people join the Navy smoothly so that they can better serve their ideals and dedicate themselves to their cause."

"Wait a moment!"

Aokiji frowned and suddenly interrupted:

"That group you're talking about, their leader, could he share the same surname as your captain?!"

"It seems so."

Chi Hong nodded in agreement and took over the role without any hesitation.

But he then added:

"However, Lord Aokiji can rest assured that the people I'm talking about are all unknown individuals."

"If you handle things properly, no one will discover their identities."

"As I said... I just want to see capable people in their rightful places."

"The Navy controls a vast amount of resources, yet the World Government and the Celestial Dragons waste manpower and resources on it every day. It's such a waste..."

"I believe that the people I've introduced will make good use of the Navy's valuable resources!"

Hiss...~

Hearing Akane say these things so casually, Aokiji couldn't help but gasp.

ruthless!

That's really ruthless!

Using the navy as a bridge, resources provided by the World Government will be used for the construction and operations of the Revolutionary Army...

This not only weakens the World Government's power but also secretly strengthens the Revolutionary Army.

Kill two birds with one stone!

If the World Government finds out, wouldn't I lose my head in a heartbeat?!

Do not!

It should be said that from the moment he brought the revolutionary army into the navy, he was already dancing on the edge of a knife.

No wonder the Straw Hat Pirates wanted to keep themselves behind...

Because of this plan...

It's really tempting!

Aokiji suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented light.

Nobody knows...

He was already quite dissatisfied with the actions of the World Government and the Navy.

Especially when he saw Robin behind Red, he couldn't help but recall the residents of Ohara who had been ordered to be killed by Akainu.

In an instant, the long-suppressed dissatisfaction with the World Government suddenly erupted and surged into Aokiji's mind like a tidal wave.

Having followed Garp for a long time, he inherited Garp's disdain for the Celestial Dragons, but he couldn't be as carefree as Garp...

The World Government, watching helplessly as the Celestial Dragons treated ordinary people as inferior beings and life as a game, could do nothing about it.

As a member of the navy, one can only follow orders from superiors and watch as one tragic event after another happens before one's eyes.

For a long time, Aokiji had harbored a knot in his heart.

This knot in his heart grew deeper and deeper after he lost to Akainu and watched the other become the Fleet Admiral!

But just a moment ago, Aokiji seemed to have suddenly found a way to resolve his inner conflict.

This, perhaps, is the meaning behind his joining the Navy!

A myriad of thoughts flashed through Aokiji's mind.

"I see."

A moment later, Aokiji, who understood everything, smiled and mimicked Akane's expression, saying:

"I never imagined that the Straw Hat Pirates, the new Four Emperors who shocked the world, would actually have some dealings with the Revolutionary Army."

"No wonder he's a descendant of Vice Admiral Garp."

After a sigh, Aokiji suddenly raised his head and said to Akame, word by word:

"Even though I know this is a road of no return, that's just how human curiosity is..."

"I am aware of your demands."
