One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

The Buggy Pirates arrived in Wano Country half a month ago following Red's orders, and they already understood what their main tasks would be.

Furthermore, Vegapunk's clone, Pythagoras, was also left by Red with Buggy to help him complete the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" plan in Wano Country and to absorb the power of wills and other related matters.

Wano Country, the golden land of a thousand years ago, has now become like a giant mine, welcoming wave after wave of Straw Hat crew members who are constantly extracting any value it can provide.

……

……

The Straw Hat crew's period of seclusion has not diminished the world's attention to the Straw Hats.

After receiving Red's permission, Moria contacted Morgans directly and asked him to publicize his plan to subdue Elbaf on behalf of the Straw Hat Pirates.

And this time, he not only wants to subdue Elbaf, but he also wants to subdue Elbaf live in front of the whole world!

In an instant, Moria's name became the talk of the town in the pirate world, attracting worldwide attention.

Live stream of conquering territory...

Although Moria's behavior is like that of a stupid streamer who goes to an internet cafe and shuts down other people's computers, he is the first person to dare to do so, and naturally attracts a lot of attention.

And so, under the watchful eyes of the world, Moria set the time for the live broadcast to begin...

Ten days later, he will officially lead the Moonlight Pirates on behalf of the Straw Hats to conquer the world's strongest nation, Elbaf!

This news naturally caused a global uproar.

For most people, neither Moria nor Elbaf has much to do with them.

They are seasoned entertainers; whoever provides them with entertainment, they will sing their praises!

This allowed Moria and his Moonlight Pirates to gain a large number of fans in a very short period of time.

……

……

"What on earth is going on?"

Meanwhile, in Elbaf Yangjie, a village with a large number of Nordic-style buildings.

A giant wearing a bull-demon helmet suddenly slammed the enlarged newspaper in his hand onto the table, his face showing a mixture of fear and anger.

"The Straw Hat Pirates are really going to become enemies of Elbaf!?"

"Aren't they friends of Boss Dongli and Boss Brogy?!"

"That's right, I originally thought it was just Moria making a casual boast, but now even the live broadcast channel is in the newspaper... and the broadcast time has been set..."

"This shouldn't be fake, right?!"

"No, we need to let Captain Donri and the others know about this immediately. If the Straw Hat crew really attacks, we can prepare in advance."

"........."

"........."

A group of giants, in a panic, were about to head out of the tavern, intending to find the two giant captains they had mentioned elsewhere.

Although the buildings in Elbaf are enormous, it is still impossible to fit all the giants into a single building.

So, except during banquet times, they are usually scattered in various taverns.

It's called a tavern, but even the tavern manager is one of the daily drinking giants.

Hearing the crowd arguing and discussing how to deal with the Straw Hat crew, he simply abandoned his tavern and followed a group of giants out.

But as soon as they stepped outside, they saw giants shouting and pushing open the doors of several other taverns.

Not many giants read newspapers, but on average, that's enough to guarantee one person per tavern.

In addition, all the newspapers are delivered to the Owl Library every day, where they are enlarged by the owls before being delivered to each subscriber...

Therefore, they all learned of the impending attack on Elbaf at almost the same time.

In an instant, almost the entire village of giants gathered in the square.

The scene was incredibly lively!

Chapter 497 Fighting

"Where are you bunch of bastards planning to cause trouble again?!"

Just as the giants of the entire Yang Realm, West Village, were gathered and making a fuss because of the Straw Hat crew's actions, a giant as big as a small mountain suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the crowd and asked the giants present in an old voice.

The newcomer was tens of meters tall; even the giants who seemed enormous to ordinary people appeared like children in his presence.

An aged face, a thick, bushy beard as high as a mountain, and a sharp, massive sword that pierced through the top of his head.

The newcomer was none other than the former captain of the Giant Warrior Pirates, and also the most prestigious figure in Elbaf, who was 345 years old—Mountain Beard Aruru!

"Elder Yaru!"

Upon seeing Aruru's appearance, all the giants instantly turned their attention to him, as if they had found their pillar of support.

Although the giants of Elbaf are fearless warriors who yearn for freedom and adventure, the Straw Hat Pirates are now renowned on the seas, and even the boldest of them have to be careful.

Since Yoruru was accidentally killed by a 5-year-old woman, Elder Aruru, the only remaining giant, has become the leader of all the Elbaf warriors.

Faced with the questions from the group of giants, Aruru immediately lowered his gaze, glanced at them, and said resentfully:

"What a bunch of cowards! You're scared like this by such a small thing!?"

"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disorganized?! Where is the glory of the Elbaf warriors?!"

Aluru, who was already full of majesty, now has a giant sword stuck in his head, making him both majestic and a little eerie.

Upon hearing his condemnation, all the giants lowered their heads.

Because they had to admit that after learning that the Straw Hat Pirates were going to take action against Elbaf, they were actually a little panicked.

Despite their belief that the great Elbaf warriors fear no enemy and will wipe out all invaders...

But that's the Straw Hat Pirates, after all!

The strongest pirate crew on the seas today, with countless elite soldiers and powerful generals under its command, almost single-handedly brought down the World Government.

Even Kaido and Big Mom, two of the Four Emperors, were easily defeated by him.

In this world, they don't know who else could possibly be a match for the Straw Hat Pirates!

How could they not panic upon learning that such a terrifying force had turned its attention to them?

But with a rebuke from Yaru, the flame of fighting spirit was rekindled in everyone's hearts.

Yup!

So what if they're the Straw Hat Pirates!?

They are warriors who bear the glory of Elbaf!

In an instant, all the giants' eyes hardened, and they all raised their heads, looking at Aruru with fervent and unwavering gazes, as if responding to him...

They are fearless in the face of any challenge!

But the next second, Aruru slowly stroked his bushy beard: "Just yesterday, I spoke with Hajrudin, who joined the Straw Hat crew."

"The Straw Hat Pirates actually have no intention of directly attacking Elbaf."

Huh!?

The giants were taken aback.

So, Elder Aruru, are you so calm because you've already discussed it with the Straw Hat Pirates beforehand?

For some reason, the giants felt betrayed at that moment.

However, the next second, they put these insignificant emotions to the back of their minds and looked eagerly at Yaru.

Betrayal or not, now is not the time to discuss that...

"Elder Yaruru, what did Hajrudin say!?"

From the crowd, a giant wearing a black eye patch asked.

His name is Redding, and he was Hajrudin's instructor during his childhood. He also has high expectations for and supports Hajrudin's dream of restoring the glory of the Giant Warrior Pirates.

“Haydin said…”

Aruru spoke slowly, but soon, as if suffering from dementia, his body suddenly stopped as if it had been paused.

The giants were used to this.

He's a 345-year-old warrior, and after being stabbed in the head by Loki, it's quite normal for him to show some signs of dementia.

Sure enough, after a while, Yaruru seemed to suddenly regain her senses as if she had been re-energized.

"Hayding said they are currently looking for a solution, but the Straw Hat Pirates do indeed intend to make the Elbaf warriors submit to their orders."

Therefore... war is inevitable!

"What!?"

Aruru's words once again gave the giants a jolt.

But since Elder Aruru said that war was unavoidable, their choice became simple.

The worst outcome is nothing more than death.

While the warriors of Elbaf have a legitimate fear of death, they will not shirk the inevitable death that comes their way.

For the glory of Elbaf, they would rather die standing than live on their knees.

Unexpectedly, Hajrudin, the son of the King of Elbaf, chose to join the Straw Hat Pirates and become one of their members.

Thinking of this, Redding looked ahead again with doubt: "Elder Aruru, did Hajrudin really say that? Did he say anything else??"

"besides……"

"I remember Dorry and Brogy saying they were on very good terms with the Straw Hat Pirates!? Does the Straw Hat Pirates really disregard their friendship at all!?"

Redding looked at Dorry and Brogy, who were standing on either side of Aruru.

As captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, who had been missing for a full century, their story is something many young giants have heard since childhood.

Not long ago, their weapons broke during a battle, and with the persuasion of Kashi and Oimo, members of the Giant Warrior Pirates, the two finally decided to return to Elbaf to create completely new weapons before having their duel.
