One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"If Lord Crimson can guarantee that the Ancient Weapon Pluton will be retrieved without causing damage to Wano Country's homeland, we have no objections."

"Also, please feel free to ask if there is anything Wano Country can do to help."

"It seems that the thick fog hanging over Wano Country is about to be dispelled."

Akane stood up and looked at Hiyori Kozuki with an appreciative gaze.

As expected of the young Princess Kozuki, who dared to hide among the enemy, her mentality and courage far surpass those of Kozuki Momonosuke.

They are smart enough and know how to assess the situation.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Wano Country will surely regain its former glory before Hiyori abdicates.

Perhaps it will even surpass the past.

After all, their current supporters are the Straw Hat Pirates!

"I suddenly regret letting you inherit the position of Shogun of Wano Country."

Just then, Akane suddenly said something that left Hiyori and the others completely baffled.

Then he chuckled softly:

"Perhaps with your abilities, you are capable of handling a much larger stage."

"Your Excellency is too kind. It is already a great blessing that I was able to regain control of Wano Country with your help, so that my ancestors would not have any regrets in the afterlife."

"Fine, whatever makes you happy."

Crimson did not continue to say anything on this topic.

With Hiyori Kozuki affixing the seal representing the Shogun of Wano Country to the two contract terms, the Straw Hat Pirates have essentially achieved all their objectives in Wano Country.

After retrieving the contract belonging to the Straw Hat crew, Red didn't even look at it before handing it directly to Usopp, who then stored it in his inner space.

"Next, we need to get the research team to send someone to handle matters related to Hades," Crimson muttered to himself.

To extract Pluton without damaging the structure of Wano Country, it is necessary not only to utilize Luffy's reckless Nika power, but also to have detailed data and theoretical support.

After all, Red and the others didn't want to accidentally destroy Wano Country when they were retrieving Hades.

Hades' size is by no means much smaller than an island.

However, the current research troops still have missions to complete, and surveying an island is no small undertaking.

and so……

"It seems that the matter of retrieving Hades will have to be postponed for the time being."

"We'll have Moria and his men come over and make the arrangements then."

"Although it's a bit of a waste of time, he'll probably be very willing to take on this job since he can command the remnants of the Beast Pirates."

"It's been almost a month already, I wonder when the research team will have any results?"

Having just completed a task milestone, Crimson immediately began to consider his next plan.

Just then, a pleasant ringtone suddenly sounded from the personal terminal located on the crimson wrist.

That was a ringtone that Uta and Brook designed specifically for personal terminals.

"Huh? What a coincidence!?"

Upon seeing the incoming call display on the terminal screen, Chi Hong was suddenly taken aback.

He then disregarded the presence of Wano Country people nearby and immediately connected to his personal terminal.

"Hey, Dr. Vegapunk, I was just about to call you."

"Um!?"

Vegapunk, who had taken the initiative from the crimson figure, was visibly speechless for a moment.

"Um... what do you need me for, Crimson?" Vegapunk suppressed his excitement and immediately asked.

But Crimson simply waved his hand:

"Never mind, Dr. Vegapunk, your matter is more important..."

"Judging from your expression, do you perhaps have some good news to tell me?"

A glint of light flashed in the crimson eyes as it guessed what was going on, and it looked expectantly at its personal terminal.

And Vegapunk, as expected, became excited once again.

"That's right!!!"

"Crimson, the research topic you asked us to study has been successfully solved!!!"

"Furthermore, the blueprints for the new remodeling plan for Laboon and Franky have also been completed!"

"When can you guys return to the Pokémon Seas?! We need to coordinate with them again before we can start the modifications!"

Really!?

Crimson responded excitedly:

"Our matter here is now considered settled."

"In that case, Franky and I will not go to Zou for the time being."

"We'll go back in a bit and finish modifying Franky and Labs."

The excited Crimson was clearly impatient to wait even a moment longer.

After all, what follows is about to witness a historic moment!

"Okay, let's start with some preparations."

Vegapunk was clearly an efficiency-driven man, showing no sign of panic whatsoever.

"There are still some details to discuss when you return."

"No problem~"

In a pleasant atmosphere, Crimson and Vegapunk both hung up the phone.

The next second, the Straw Hat crew, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly surrounded them.

Frankie was the most excited of them all.

"Well, Crimson!? Is that plan you mentioned before really going to come to fruition?"

"Hmm!" Crimson nodded vigorously. "No wonder they're a research team that gives the World Government a headache."

"To be able to overcome such a difficult problem in such a short time, perhaps... the future of the ocean will be transformed because of their efforts!"

"This is indeed an event worthy of being recorded in history!"

Robin, who recently planned to write a historical record himself, smiled and glanced at everyone's faces, as if trying to imprint the scene into his mind.

"Multiple Devil Fruit users, huh!? That sounds terrifying."

Because they were indoors, Sanji didn't light a cigarette in front of the lady, but he still subconsciously made the motion of putting out a cigarette and sighed.

"I'm so excited!!!"

"Alright~" Crimson chuckled, "In that case, I'll take Franky back to complete the modifications later."

"Then you shall continue your voyage and head to Zou Island to find the next landmark in the historical record."

"We'll meet up on Zou Island after Franky's modifications are complete!"

"what!?"

Upon hearing Red's arrangement, Luffy and the others visibly showed disappointment.

After all, cyborgs sound so cool, wouldn't it be a huge loss if we couldn't see them right away?

"We want to go back and witness Franky make history!"

Usopp immediately raised his hand and requested to return.

Luffy and Chopper, standing to the side, nodded repeatedly.

"That's it!"

"How can such an important matter be handled without me, the captain, by my side?"

"Wow, Luffy, you've even learned to use your status as an excuse!?"

Crimson smiled with inexplicable relief, then waved his hand dismissively:

"Well!"

"Since even the future Pirate King isn't in a hurry to find the Road Poneglyphs, then let's go back together..."

"Let's see what surprises Dr. Vegapunk and his team have in store for us!"

"Yay!!! Crimson is the best!!!"

Upon hearing this, the mischievous trio immediately cheered loudly.

Anyone who didn't know better would think this had something to do with them.

but……

"If Franky can really succeed in the modification, it can be widely promoted among the Straw Hat crew in the future."

"It seems I've accidentally created a One Piece-style cyberpunk era~"

Looking at the personal terminal in his hand, Chi Hong's lips curled up, and his eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Chapter 442 The Cyber ​​Pirate Era (Seeking monthly votes~)

The Going Merry, which arrived and departed in a hurry, set sail again after docking in Wano Country for less than a week, heading towards the Pokémon Sea.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the cover of night, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the refreshing moonlight fell on the deck of the Merry like silk.

Red, who had just returned from leveling up in the Pokémon world with Chopper and Brook, teleported to the restaurant, got a chilled juice, and then leaned against the ship's railing, letting out a sigh:

"Speechless~"

"If it were just Franky and me, we'd probably be getting modified by now, right?"
