One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Long, slender legs, snow-white breasts, and a head of flowing purple hair, all paired with a dress that appeared simple yet was made entirely of luxurious fabrics…

If Sanji were here, he would definitely kick every single one of those zombies to scold them for their rude treatment of such a stunning beauty.

At this point, Perona began to explain and report.

“Lord Moria, this woman just sneaked into the control room of the Entertainment City while you were fighting Tesoro. She was discovered by the searching zombies and, because she has no strength, was easily controlled by them.”

The Moria of today is no longer fixated on the zombie army he once pursued.

The zombies that he managed to preserve almost all possessed the physical bodies of former zombie generals.

The shadows they used were all from the Straw Hat Pirates' imprisoned enemies or experimental subjects left on the technology island for the research team to extract bloodline factors.

While his actual strength may not be exceptionally high, it is comparable to that of a typical naval commodore.

Dealing with a sneaky girl is a piece of cake.

Perona continued, "I didn't think she acted like one of Tezzolo's men, so I went to find out who she was."

"So, who exactly is she?"

Seeing Perona's hesitant expression, Moria asked curiously.

After a slight choke, Perona, her voice trembling, slowly spoke:

"According to my investigation, this woman appears to be Karina, a performer recently invited by Tesoro to the Entertainment City, known as the Mysterious Diva!"

"The Mysterious Songstress? I've never heard of that name before..."

Moria frowned slightly.

But at that moment, it was as if a beam of light pierced straight through his brain.

Moria's pupils contracted sharply for a moment, then he looked intently at the beautiful girl on the ground.

As a true powerhouse, although he wasn't interested in women, he could still tell that the girl on the ground was one of the most beautiful women in the world.

"Wait! You said this woman's name is... Karina!?"

Moria suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a note in the information that Crimson had provided them.

Karina may exist as a peerless thief in the City of Gold, or as a songstress or in another capacity in the City of Entertainment.

Due to the influence of the Red Butterfly Effect, Karina had not yet made a name for herself in Tesoro's hands at this time.

Furthermore, under Karina's deliberate control, very few photos bearing her image were ever circulated.

Therefore, when providing information, Crimson only wrote an ambiguous text message based on the original plot.

Of course, none of the above are the main points!

Because Moria remembered it clearly...

At the end of Karina's information, there is a note that reads: "Nami's former comrade, who can be considered a friend. If you encounter her, try not to harm her."

"Quick! Quick... quick, go get a chair!!!"

Upon realizing this, Moria's expression changed drastically, and he immediately gave orders to Perona.

Perona, who had also read Karina's intelligence, immediately nodded and led the zombies to search the area where Tesoro was active.

Soon, a large, ornate, and glittering sofa was brought out.

Moria then ordered the zombies to carefully place Karina on the sofa and untie the ropes binding her.

Finally, they gave the unconscious Karina a bottle of good medicine to help her recover from her injuries.

Although they are members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, they receive a batch of Pokémon-related supplies every now and then, including healing items such as Healing Potions.

However, since they are not direct members of the Straw Hat Pirates, this miraculous medicine that can heal all injuries is naturally quite precious.

The fact that Moria is now using this on a woman who has nothing to do with them is not because Moria has suddenly become soft-hearted.

Rather, he was genuinely afraid that if he hurt Nami's friend, Nami would secretly make things difficult for him.

After all, Nami controls the Straw Hat Pirates' economic lifeline and all their high-end items.

It's fair to say that how much good healing medicine they get each month is entirely up to Nami.

This also made Nami the Straw Hat member whom many of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet captains privately considered the most respectable.

As the healing medicine was slowly administered, the unconscious Karina slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing that caught her eye was Moria's fierce face with its sharp snout and fangs.

"scare!!!"

Karina was horrified, her body trembled violently, and the pair of breasts on her chest rippled with waves.

"What...what are you going to do!?"

Having secretly observed Moria and Tesoro's battle before taking action, Karina knew perfectly well just how terrifying the monstrous-looking man before her was.

So after realizing the reality, she thought of taking advantage of the chaos to make a quick buck from Tesoro's treasure vault.

But before she could even begin, she was attacked by a group of ugly zombies, which caused her to suffer a head injury and lose consciousness.

Her consciousness is still stuck in the fear of being surrounded by zombies.

Thinking of the monsters' terrifying bodies, Karina screamed in terror:

"Don't hurt me! I know where Tesoro's vault is, and I know how to control this island!"

"Keeping me here will only benefit you, and will not do you any harm."

Although the wealth she had just acquired was about to fly away, she was still very good at making choices when it came to her life.

However, to Karina's surprise, her scream was met with a sharp voice.

"Ms. Karina."

The well-informed Karina could tell that the man in front of her was trying his best to suppress his speaking habits in order to make his voice sound slightly gentler.

Although this approach had no effect.

“You don’t need to panic. We never intended to do anything to you.” Moria controlled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smug smile.

"Who...who are you people?"

Quickly realizing that she didn't seem to be in danger, Karina felt a surge of curiosity and then dared to ask.

Having squeezed into the world's top power circles, she could naturally tell that the person in front of her was the former Shichibukai, Gecko Moria.

But without knowing the other party's purpose, she chose to disguise herself as a weak and ignorant ordinary girl.

To Karina's surprise, the other party saw through her disguise in an instant.

"Ms. Karina, with your intelligence, you couldn't possibly be unaware of our identities, could you?"

"But since you've asked, let me introduce myself."

"I am Gecko Moria, one of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"And now, I am the captain of the Moonlight Pirates under the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, and also the mastermind behind this attack."

“Tezoro and all the powerful figures on this island have been brought under our control, so Ms. Karina, it would be best if we were more open and honest.”

"I believe that if Lady Nami were here, she would also hope that you could recognize our identities as soon as possible."

"Wait! Who did you say!?"

Karina, who was still analyzing Moria's purpose, suddenly paused and asked the question instinctively.

Moria smiled and replied, "Nami-sama, who is one of the high-ranking officers of the Straw Hat Pirates, is also one of my superiors."

"I think you should be quite familiar with Lady Nami's reputation."

"........."

Karina was silent for a moment, then spoke softly:

"of course."

"Storm Witch, Weather Witch, Child of Calamity..."

"I've been living by Nami's name for the past two years."

"I just didn't expect that after so many years, Nami would still remember such an unknown nobody as me."

"Hehehe, to be able to infiltrate the City of Entertainment and disguise herself as Tesoro's subordinate, Ms. Karina is no small figure."

"Of course, compared to the Straw Hat Pirates, everyone else in this world is just a nobody!"

"So... it was Nami who led you to find me?" Karina asked expectantly, perhaps hoping to hear that her companions, who had already soared to great heights, would still remember her, a nobody.

But in return, Moria gently shook his head:

"I'm sorry, but I can't possibly guess what the Straw Hat Pirates are thinking."

"All I know is that in the information Lord Crimson gave me, there was a note that said not to let you get hurt."

"Let's talk about the rest after you meet with the officials."

"But before that, Ms. Karina, you said you would be piloting this city-ship built from an island, right!?"

"Perfect timing, could you please take it to the Pokémon Ocean?"

"At that time, you may also have the opportunity to meet Lady Nami."

"What do you think, Ms. Karina?"

Chapter 486 Target: Elbaf

who am I?

where am I?

What am I doing?!

Looking at the Golden Harbor, the wealthy and powerful people he had judged as potential users were now acting like madmen, constantly pulling out their money and handing it over to the money-grubbing zombies, before boarding their respective ships and leaving the entertainment city without looking back...

At this moment, Karina's worldview seemed to have undergone a complete transformation!

When will she be able to be like these guys, able to get people to hand over their money with just a glance, and even look like she's escaped a close call?

"Indeed, power is the best tool for creating wealth!"
