One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

For some reason, the two ended up staying in the first half of the Grand Line, where they remained for over a hundred years.

Despite the continuous battles, their strength did not decline; in fact, it improved.

However, the first half of the Grand Line is a paradise for pirates, and the two of them were practically invincible there. They didn't even have the chance to fight stronger opponents, which caused them to waste a full hundred years.

However, Aruru did not blame them at all.

After all, these are the warriors of Elbaf!

Doing what you want to do, without restraint or constraint, that's what it means to truly live!

The only pity is that the two of them should have had the opportunity to surpass him and Yoruru and become the world's top powerhouses. Even the so-called Four Emperors and Marine Admirals would not be their match.

But now, facing the challenge from the Straw Hat Pirates, Aruru can't feel at ease with just these two guys.

The outcome of the arena battle doesn't matter, but this fight is to be broadcast live to the whole world.

If Elbaf suffers a crushing defeat, wouldn't that be a great blow to Elbaf's honor?

For thousands of years, the glory of Elbaf has been shouted out. If it were to become synonymous with clown overnight, then Aruru would rather lead all the giants and the Straw Hat crew in a bloody battle to the death.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like Loki joining the war is such an unacceptable thing.

As expected, after Aruru expressed his thoughts, all the giants fell silent once again.

Send them to fight the Straw Hat Pirates?

It's not that they're cowardly~

It's mainly because there's no need for it.

It's not like we can't negotiate, so why make things so bloody?

In the end, in the silence, no one said anything about not being able to release Loki.

……

……

Time passed slowly.

Thanks to Moria's extensive propaganda, almost the entire world knows that the Straw Hat Pirates are about to have a final battle with Elbaf, known as the world's strongest nation, to determine whether Elbaf will submit to the Straw Hat crew.

In this era where the Pokémon world reigns supreme, news about the real world is no longer as captivating as it used to be.

But Elbaf is, after all, a country that exists in the minds of many people. The vast majority of people in the world even believe that the giant race exists only in stories and doubt the reality of the giants.

Just as they doubted the existence of the Sky Island.

Now the Straw Hat crew is going to have a live-streamed duel with a giant on the world stage! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they miss it, what kind of human would they be?!

For a time, even the number of online players in the Pokémon games was affected by this live stream event, with everyone eagerly anticipating its arrival.

……

……

Meanwhile, among the captains of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.

Buggy: "Hey, wasn't this supposed to be the Moonlight Pirates challenging the strongest warrior in Elbaf? How did it suddenly turn into a live-streamed duel!?"

Moria: "Hehehe~ Do you have any objections!? This was approved by Lord Crimson!"

Barto: "Damn it! If you're going to have a duel, then have a duel! Why use the Straw Hat Pirates' name!? If you lose, wouldn't that make all the Straw Hat Pirates lose face along with you!?"

Moria: "Who said I would lose!? But I've heard there's a very powerful expert in Elbaf, he's definitely not to be underestimated."

"And Haldin will also join Elbaf's camp as a giant."

"Including my zombie subordinates, the Moonlight Pirates should be able to muster about four or five high-level combatants..."

"Come to think of it, the odds of winning seem pretty slim."

Barto roared in fury: "Damn bastard! So who told you to tarnish the Straw Hat's reputation?! You bastard!!!"

"No way! Anyway, you didn't say that only the Moonlight Pirates could participate in the arena. Anyone under the Straw Hat crew can participate."

"I have to join then! I absolutely can't let you, you idiot, tarnish the Straw Hat's reputation!!!"

As a loyal fan of the Straw Hat Pirates, Bartolomeo didn't hesitate at all and immediately demanded to join the battle to capture Elbaf.

Little did he know, this was exactly what Moria wanted to see!

"Karina was right! These guys really couldn't hold back in order to protect the Straw Hat crew's reputation."

As Moria sat in the captain's cabin of the Hades, a crescent-shaped smile appeared on his lips as he read Barto's reply.

But in his replies in the group chat, he seemed very reluctant.

Moria: "This is a mission given to me by Lord Crimson. How can you just join like that?"

"However, I'm not entirely confident. If you could come, it would definitely increase our chances of winning!"

Barto: "Hmph! You bastard, after this is all over, I'm going to teach you a lesson! I'll show you that the Straw Hat's reputation isn't something you can use as a prop for showing off!"

Luo: "Idiot Barto, can't you see that Moria did it on purpose!?"

Just then, Luo, who had been lurking, finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to remind him.

Because of Bartolomeo's extreme snobbery and extremely bad personality, even within the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, very few people could get along with him.

However, he also showed a certain restraint towards the strong.

Because Law's Devil Fruit ability is a perfect counter to his, Law is arguably one of the few members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet who can hold his own against Bartolomeo.

Over time, the two developed a unique friendship.

That's why Luo specifically reminded Barto to check the group last time.

He just didn't expect that what was originally a simple matter would develop into this situation.

Although it seems that the Straw Hat Grand Fleet has the absolute advantage in this situation, after this battle, they can freely search for like-minded giant warriors in Elbaf and invite them to join their pirate crew.

But the feeling of being led by the nose by Moria is really unpleasant.

So, even though there were many people in the captains' group who could speak on this matter, they all chose to remain silent, wanting to keep Moria waiting until the very last moment before announcing their willingness to join the arena battle, so that he could have some time to worry.

But no one expected that Barto, this single-celled organism, wouldn't think so much and would rush out right into Moria's hands.

Therefore, there's no point in them continuing to dive.

However, although diving was out of the question, they could take this opportunity to give Moria a good scolding.

This big, fat, dark-skinned man, in order to prevent them from watching the spectacle, actually dragged everyone into the mess!?

Red's favoritism towards Moria led to him obtaining the Ancient Weapon Pluton, causing his fame to soar far beyond his previous title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...

This matter had long been the envy, jealousy, and hatred of the other members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.

They just didn't dare to say no to the Red Army's decisions, so they never dared to say anything.

Until this moment, they finally seized the opportunity.

Suddenly, one captain after another who had been hiding in the shadows all popped up and started speaking freely in the group chat.

At first, they still accused Moria of deceiving Barto.

But as the conversation went on, the reasons people gave for criticizing Moria started to become a jumbled mess, and it could even be said that they were just making trouble out of nothing.

Moriah looked so much like an onion that he felt nauseous every time he ate one.

What a terrible thing to do, raising such a lovely little girl like Perona to be so monstrous.

What kind of scoundrel has a subordinate who often sneaks into the women's bathhouse to peep? Like father, like son.

Even many of those who feared Moria seized this opportunity to step forward and boldly join the ranks of those hurling insults at him.

……

……

"Damn it! Damn it! I'll remember you!!!"

Inside Captain Hades' cabin, Moria, his eyes bloodshot, stared at the avatars and names flashing across his personal terminal, gritting his teeth and snarling fiercely.

Although he tried his best not to look at the group chat content, even just a word or two that flashed in his peripheral vision made him feel extremely angry.

Fortunately, Moria had anticipated this.

After being angry for a while, he forced himself to calm down, but secretly pressed the screen recording button on his personal terminal.

"Go ahead and curse! After this incident is over, I will go door to door with you and have a good discussion with you about what the greatest truth is."

Moria slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, stopped looking at the group chat, and began contacting his subordinates to prepare for the event.

In any case, those guys who dared to insult him have all agreed to join this arena battle.

If the Moonlight Pirates were to challenge the entire Elbaf region alone, even with the power of Hades, Moria wouldn't dare to give an absolute guarantee.

But if we add the power of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet...

It wasn't that he was overconfident, but the fact was that even completely erasing Elbaf from the world map wouldn't be a difficult task for them.

The world's number one superpower!?

That's all in the past!

This era is called the Straw Hat!

The Straw Hat Grand Fleet is by no means a simple pirate alliance!

Under the leadership of the Straw Hat Pirates, the resources and energy gathered by the Straw Hat Grand Fleet are enough to shock the entire world!

Albaf, a mere place?

Ah!

They're just remnants of the old era!

……

……

"Captain, is the Straw Hat Pirates really going to make a move against Elbaf?"

In the New World, amidst a rare scene of tranquility, lies a pirate ship of modest size.

Ben Beckman, wearing casual sunglasses, handed a newspaper to the redhead who had been sunbathing on the deck.
