One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Luffy instantly became interested and stood on the bow of the ship, straining to see what was happening.

Pirates don't necessarily respect each other just because they're in the same line of work.

On the contrary...

When two pirate ships meet, it could very well be the prelude to war!

But just then, Nami shouted again:

"Wait a minute! Their pirate flag looks so familiar!"

"That looks like the Black Cat Pirates' flag!"

"oh!?"

As Crimson approached the bow of the ship, a dark dot could be vaguely seen slowly growing larger.

"Interesting!" He grinned. "Even though Kro is dead, they still managed to come looking for us!"

"Perfect, this saves Miss Kaya the money she would have spent hiring a bounty hunter."

Seeing Luffy's eagerness to try, Akame gently patted the bow of the ship.

"Hey Luffy, they're just a bunch of small-time pirates. Are you getting excited?"

"what!?"

Luffy laughed and turned to look at Akame.

"Of course we're excited! This is our first time encountering the enemy at sea!"

The first time is always exciting, no matter what it is.

But Crimson shook her head: "Forget it..."

"It would be embarrassing for the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates to personally deal with a bunch of lowly minions!"

"I think this time, let's test the new recruits' combat capabilities!"

"New recruits?"

At this moment, Zoro, who had walked over, said in confusion:

"Do you want Nami and Usopp to deal with them?"

Crimson smiled slightly:

"You're one place behind, Zoro!"

"It should be Nami, Usopp..."

"And Mary!"

Chapter 50 Straw Hat Recruit (Please continue reading~)

boom!!!

A crimson cannonball suddenly ripped through the sky, landing precisely on the Black Cat Pirates' deck before exploding!

The terrifying flames instantly engulfed the unfortunate pirates nearby, and then spread across the deck!

The entire pirate ship split open from the middle.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"

Only then did the Black Cat Pirates belatedly shout out.

With the help of several pirates, Zango crawled out of the ruins.

Who is it!?

Already in a bad mood due to his subordinates' disobedience, he now glared angrily at the sea.

Immediately afterwards...

A scene that stunned him so much that his glasses fell off appeared before him.

On the vast, calm sea, a colossal wave, tens of meters high, suddenly appeared and surged toward their location.

Right in the middle of the giant wave, a ship-like figure was riding the wave like a surfer, approaching them!

"This is the correct way to surf!!!"

On the Going Merry, while controlling the giant waves to propel the ship, Crimson shouted loudly to Usopp in the cabin:

"Usopp! One more shot! Let them see how powerful you and Merry are!!!"

"Leave it to me with complete confidence!!!"

Inside the artillery chamber, Usopp, wearing precision goggles, responded instantly.

Having just fired a shot, he was in excellent form and didn't even aim properly. He simply felt the speed and vibrations of the Merry and slightly adjusted the direction of the cannon.

Glug glug...

A shell painted with a comical clown fell into the cannon barrel, the sound of its impact seeming to mock the enemy's pitiful fate.

The hissing fire was like a final swan song, marking the beginning of its end.

A few seconds later...

boom!!!

Endless flames erupted from the cannons once more, like divine punishment descending from the sky, crashing down upon the Black Cat Pirates' ship!

With just two cannonballs, Black Cat's pirate ship was transformed into a scene of utter hell.

Dozens of pirates cried out in agony and misery amidst the raging flames.

But their companions were busy jumping into the sea to save themselves and avoiding being engulfed by the flames, and had no time to pay attention to them.

Zango, who was fortunate enough to escape the blast wave of the second shell, stood on the highest platform and shouted angrily at the top of his lungs:

"Damn it! Where are our artillerymen!?"

"Fight back! Fight back!!!"

"No, Captain Zango!"

A fat pirate wearing cat ears ran up to him and reported in a wronged tone:

"The other side is too far away from us, and the waves are so big, we can't even aim at the other ship!"

"Damn it! How come they can hit us so accurately every time?!" Zango yelled.

But all she got in return was a look of despair from the artilleryman: "I don't know either!!!"

At this moment, another cat-eared pirate ran over and tried to persuade him:

"Run, Captain Zango! The lifeboats are ready!"

"If we stay any longer, this ship will sink!"

"Damn it!" In a fit of impotent rage, Zango slammed his fist on the ship's railing, but still listened to advice and walked toward the lifeboat with his men.

On the Going Merry.

Nami observed the situation on the other side through her binoculars and immediately reported what she saw:

"I saw the hypnotist's post was highly praised! That pirate has a bounty of a whopping 900 million Berries!!!"

"and many more!"

"Those over there look like the cat-man brothers with a bounty of 700 million Berries!"

"You damn Usopp, you've broken into their treasure room!"

Upon seeing the cat-man brothers putting out a fire in the treasure room, Nami immediately put down her binoculars and angrily shouted.

after all……

That's all her money!!!

"Crimson! Faster! Faster! Speed ​​up!"

"Use your waves to extinguish the fire in the treasure room!"

"I told you to fire one shot, and leave the rest to me!"

"If any treasure is destroyed, deduct it from Usopp's allowance!"

Unable to shake off her greed, Nami hurriedly jumped down from the lookout tower and eagerly went to the bow of the ship to stand on tiptoe and look out.

I wish I could fly over there and help the cat-man brothers put out the fire.

"Huh!?" Usopp, who had just come out of the cabin, was suddenly stunned. He immediately looked at the captain and first mate of the ship, hoping that the two leaders could uphold justice.

Then he saw Luffy, who had lost all strength from the falling seawater, slumping on the chair that Crimson had named the "Empty Throne," looking up at the sky listlessly as if he had suddenly realized something.

Meanwhile, the first mate, Red, and Zoro were pointing at the giant waves behind them, as if they were discussing something profound.

From time to time, profound topics such as "breathing of water" and "ripples in flowing water" are brought up.

Although he couldn't understand a word Red and the others were saying, Usopp actually did:

They weren't penalized for not receiving pocket money; nobody cared about them anyway!

"How can it be repaired?"

Usopp was furious. He realized that relying on others was definitely not as good as relying on himself!

He quickly ran back to the cabin.

A moment later, he pushed a makeshift large slingshot made from fitness equipment and a huge elastic band onto the deck.

Along with it, there was a huge water sphere filled with water, round and wobbly, like a giant milk can with big boobs.

Usopp placed a makeshift slingshot on the bow of the ship, then put a large water balloon on a stretcher belt, and pulled backwards with gritted teeth.

After the belt was stretched to a certain extent, he put on his goggles again, closed one eye, and began to calculate:

"Distance calibration... Wind speed calibration... Height difference calibration..."

"OK! Proofreading complete!"

In order to have enough pocket money to buy more materials and make more equipment and ammunition, Usopp shouted:
