One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"You're lacking something that can truly make you stronger!!!"

"I...can't feel your conviction at all!!!"

Peng! ! !

A deep pit suddenly appeared in the hard earth.

Even in his gigantic state, Luffy still managed to use a technique similar to Shave, his body appearing suddenly behind Bullet as if by teleportation.

next moment……

A simple yet swift punch was unleashed with terrifying force, shattering Barrett's prized armor and smashing him out of the steel behemoth's body.

"puff……"

In an instant, Barrett's eyes rolled back, revealing only the whites of his eyes, and he briefly lost consciousness.

His body unconsciously gushed out a mouthful of blood, and countless bones in his body were broken.

The enormous steel behemoth collapsed, turning into countless fragments that fell to the ground.

"It's over."

Watching Barrett's figure crash into the earth like a meteor, Luffy shook his head in disappointment.

Clearly, he was not very satisfied with his opponent this time.

Barrett's strength level is such that he cannot train in a basic manner like Halding, nor can he unleash his full power for a thrilling battle.

Just as Crimson said, this was merely a relaxing activity to alleviate their boring cultivation.

……

……

"It's...it's over just like that!?"

at the same time.

The pirates on the island stared blankly at Bullet, who had been easily defeated by Luffy.

It's unbelievable that the terrifying monster was defeated so easily.

But the next second, their gazes were once again focused on the air in mid-air.

As the steel behemoth crumbled, a dilapidated treasure chest, accompanied by shattered clods of earth, fell from the sky and suddenly opened in mid-air.

A crystal-clear, eternal pointer then appeared in everyone's sight.

"That is……"

In an instant, all the pirates' eyes were involuntarily focused on the legendary Eternal Pointer that led to the final island, Laugh Tale.

As pirates who gamble their lives on the sea, even after experiencing a battle that left them feeling hopeless, their ambition remains undiminished!

But the next moment...

A giant hand caught the eternal pointer directly, and with a snap, it disappeared from everyone's sight.

Upon receiving the Eternal Log, Luffy immediately withdrew from the battle.

The body gradually returned to its normal state.

"Luffy, one of the Four Emperors, has obtained the Eternal Log Pose for the final island!"

At that moment, a voice came from the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, a cacophony of discussions erupted, chirping and chattering like noisy sparrows.

"With his power, there shouldn't be anyone in this world who can take the Eternal Pointer from him, right?!"

"Heh... He easily defeated even a monster like Barrett, and the World Government is completely helpless against the Straw Hat crew..."

"Unless the other three Emperors unite, who in this world can stop the Straw Hat Pirates from rising to power!?"

"The Four Emperors are irreconcilable enemies, how could they possibly unite!?"

"Doesn't that mean... he's about to become the new Pirate King!"

"Not necessarily! After all, there can only be one Pirate King in this world... They might very well team up to deal with the Straw Hat crew."

"However, regardless of the circumstances, the Straw Hat Pirates are currently the closest to that location!!!"

In an instant, countless pirates cast their gazes, a mixture of awe and longing, at Luffy, who was standing atop the wreckage of the steel behemoth.

They had already witnessed the Straw Hat Pirates' strength.

The Straw Hat Pirates' success is within reach!

If they could establish a connection with the Straw Hat Pirates at this point, wouldn't it be possible for them to become the Pirate King's subordinates?

After witnessing the strength of the world's top experts, many pirates have felt despair, and some have even prepared to give up being pirates.

If they could join the Straw Hat crew, that might be their only motivation to keep going!

at the same time.

In the distance, another deafening roar, like that of a ferocious beast, echoed through the sky.

The noise immediately drew everyone's attention, and they turned their gazes toward it.

They immediately saw a strange creature with an odd body wrestling with another terrifying monster that exuded the aura of blood high in the sky!

They quickly recognized that the strangely shaped creature was none other than Red, the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates!

Although they didn't know what kind of Devil Fruit power Crimson possessed, the fact that Crimson could transform into strange creatures to fight was no longer a secret on the high seas.

He was, after all, a notorious pirate with a bounty of 35 billion.

Even if he doesn't show his face much, the New World can't possibly forget such a great figure as him.

The crowd quickly recognized the identity of the blood monster.

After all, the only one who could fight alongside the Straw Hat Pirates' vice-captain was the legendary pirate Redfield, who had previously appeared with Bullet!

It was only because the battle between Barrett and Luffy was so intense that no one noticed the battle here.

But when they noticed the battlefield, everyone unanimously showed an expression of expectation.

The monster, shrouded in the aura of blood, unleashed a power that shocked everyone.

With the help of various teleportation, telekinesis, mind control, and all sorts of strange Pokémon moves and items, Red can...

Not a single attack from the blood monster could land on Crimson.

On the contrary...

Each of Crimson's Time Roars can almost traverse the river of time and strike Redfield directly.

After several rounds, even though Redfield was quite strong and his body was enhanced by the Vampire Fruit, he was still showing signs of fatigue.

Feeling tormented and humiliated, Redfield stared intently at the crimson figure with his bloodshot eyes.

But the next second, he asked fiercely:

"Barrett has failed! Why didn't that brat come to your aid!?"

Are you looking down on me?!

"Heh... Do you really think you still have any hope of turning things around, Senior Redfield?"

"Damn it!" A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Redfield's eyes, but his mind quickly scanned his surroundings.

His strength should be far greater than this.

If he could consume some more blood, the power he could unleash would be far greater than this!

If he could absorb all the pirates present, his power would even surpass Barrett's ideal final form!

but……

Redfield's eyes narrowed, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face.

The kid opposite him may not have a strong aura or physical abilities, but he possesses Observation Haki that is no less than, or even stronger than, his own!

Each time, it can accurately predict its own action plan and then completely intercept its attempt to devour blood.

As a result of his influence, there are no longer any targets for him to consume in this area.

This led Redfield to foresee his fate.

Why has the world become like this?!

Have I really been left behind by the times?!

Even though we've resisted the aging process, are we still powerless against fate?

Unbeknownst to him, Redfield's initial strong fighting spirit had begun to wane.

And just then...

"Is the game over?"

Crimson, who possesses the power of waveguides and can easily see through people's hearts, suddenly smiled.

Hearing this, Redfield wasn't surprised; instead, he looked up and chuckled.

"As expected! You also possess the same Observation Haki as me!"

"Can you tell me, having witnessed the darkness within people's hearts, why do you still choose to trust others, even to the point of submitting to them?!"

"With your abilities and methods, if you wanted to do it, you shouldn't lose to that kid wearing the same straw hat as Roger, right?!"

"Perhaps it's because I'm luckier than you; I've met a group of like-minded partners!"

Crimson did not reveal to Redfield the fact that he had only recently acquired the power of waveguide.

Because he could clearly sense that Redfield had already begun to regard him as one of his own.

As it happens, they already had a strong need for vampire fruits.

If we could take this opportunity to recruit Redfield into the Straw Hat Pirates, it would save us a lot of trouble.

not to mention……

The Straw Hat Pirates themselves have a deep connection with Redfield.

“Like-minded partners?!” Redfield gave a wry smile. “I probably will never understand your thoughts in this lifetime.”
