One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Because of the need to accommodate the size of the giants, the shots in the film almost always aim to show the giants in their entirety.

Shanks and his two companions were barely up to the giants' heels, and the pixel quality wasn't particularly high, making it easy for people to overlook their presence.

But that sudden downward sloping shot just now instantly drew the public's attention to their presence.

"You're not mistaken! Those are definitely three human figures!"

In the square, some knowledgeable people immediately started explaining things.

The speaker's voice was trembling slightly as he looked excitedly at the large screen above him.

"Moreover, those three figures were definitely not ordinary people. Although they only flashed by, if I'm not mistaken..."

"Two of those three humans are Shanks, the former captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, and Ben Beckman, the vice-captain!"

"What! The Red-Haired Pirates!? How did they end up joining the giants' side?"

"Who knows? Maybe they don't want to see the Straw Hat Pirates subdue the giants and become the only powerful force. Or maybe they have some kind of cooperation with Elbaf?"

"Hey!? This is cheating! Sending the Straw Hat Pirates to fight a former Yonko... How could they possibly win!?"

"Who cares? Anyway, today's battle is definitely going to be a real treat!"

"Wow, I'm so lucky to actually witness the Four Emperors in action! This is the best I've ever seen in my life!"

"........."

"........."

With the appearance of Shanks and others, discussions around the world suddenly surged.

Even within the Pokémon Ocean, many viewers watching the live stream expressed strong emotions regarding the appearance of the Red-Haired Pirates.

However, compared to the indifferent attitude of the outside world, they were much more direct, all saying things like "Shanks is shameless" and "How could a human join the side of the Titans?"

After all, as subjects under the Straw Hat Pirates, they naturally hope that the Straw Hat Pirates can become stronger and stronger, so that their safety and life will be more secure.

Even Red, who glanced at the live stream during a break when his companions were taking turns leveling up, was startled by the appearance of Shanks and the others.

"What's going on? Why did the redhead run over there?"

The crimson-faced man, who had initially thought that subduing Elbaf was just a minor incident, suddenly became serious and focused his gaze on the screen.

At the same time, he also used his personal terminal to have the AI ​​Xiaowuta help him sort out the cause and effect of this matter.

The information displayed on the live stream is limited, but that does not mean that the information received by Crimson is also limited.

In fact, all of Morgans's men are now equipped with a gadget that Vegapunk made when he was bored, which is convenient for eavesdropping.

Simply put, it can automatically collect information from your surroundings and then transmit it to a large database.

Upon learning of this convenient item, Crimson immediately decided to mass-produce it and send it to Morgans.

Although Morgans, a self-disciplined writer, has never said anything about joining the Straw Hat crew, he has actually been tied to the Straw Hat Pirates for a long time and has spoken out and done a lot for them.

Crimson would certainly not forget the existence of this great contributor.

With this gadget, Morgans' intelligence-gathering ability has skyrocketed.

Although the most authentic World Economic Herald still reports on major national events every day, its subsidiary tabloids are filled with all sorts of news.

Futures trading resources, gang warfare, celebrity gossip, official corruption...

With the assistance of intelligent AI, what was originally a complex task has become incredibly simple and streamlined.

Various types of news are categorized by region and distributed to the applicable areas, forming a unique big data flow.

So much so that the best-selling newspapers or media channels on the market today, no matter how outrageous or bizarre their names, are all actually owned by Morgans, the president of the World Economic Herald.

This made Morgans a fortune.

In fact, if Morgans hadn't been so disciplined, though he would exaggerate the facts to attract attention, he wouldn't have created fake news.

Otherwise, given the sheer size of his current control over public opinion, he could easily launch one terrifying war after another using only public opinion!

Only those who have truly experienced public opinion can understand how important it is.

Otherwise, Crimson wouldn't have supported Morgans so strongly.

And the benefits of this are...

If Crimson wanted to, he could also receive detailed intelligence from all over the world.

Even when the people of Morgans were setting up various devices, they had already recorded all the conversations between the giants in a database using eavesdropping equipment.

In the blink of an eye, the intelligent AI Xiao Uta had finished organizing the intelligence on Elbaf.

Red also understood the whole story of Shanks' appearance in Elbaf.

"Seriously, you pulled this whole thing just to tease Luffy. You and Luffy are just two of a kind."

Upon learning the reason why Shanks joined the Elbaf faction, Crimson was speechless for a moment.

He simply couldn't do anything about this illogical guy.

Sometimes he really wondered if Luffy was really Dragon's biological son.

It doesn't look like it at all.

On the contrary, he is in the same lineage as Roger and Shanks.

"Well, it's not a big deal. Hopefully, Moria can withstand Shanks' pressure."

After confirming that there were no unexpected situations, Crimson stopped worrying about Elbaf.

These trivial details are no longer of any concern to the starry sky they are about to explore.

The Straw Hat Pirates have been incredibly enthusiastic lately, putting in all their effort to set off into outer space, afraid of holding everyone back.

In addition, Red also increased the dosage, using all the game currency he had accumulated to buy Poké Balls, in order to help his friends gain as much experience as possible.

Soon, Nami, Robin, and Jinbe, who were in charge of the handover, sent messages to Akane in turn, indicating that they were ready.

Crimson lay down directly onto the fully enclosed mechanical chair behind her, her consciousness sinking into the game world.

In order to accelerate their growth, the Straw Hat Pirates have hardly left their house recently, and even their three meals a day are delivered by intelligent robots.

Although only three people enter the game world each time, the Straw Hat crew is now desperately learning all kinds of knowledge related to outer space in order to deal with various situations that may occur in outer space.

Although few people in the One Piece world look up at the stars, they have accumulated a lot of knowledge about them over the years, enough for Nami and the others to study for a while.

……

……

at the same time.

On the battlefield of Elbaf.

"Fun! This is so much fun!"

"When did Elbaf have such short giants?!"

Upon seeing Shanks and the others appear, Moria grinned and began to mock them.

Despite the huge gap in their past statuses, now that he's aboard the Straw Hat Pirates' starship, his status has naturally risen as well.

The already arrogant Moria now looks down on everyone except for Luffy, Red, and the others in the Straw Hat Pirates.

Even if the other party is a more powerful being than him.

Because Moria was confident that, given enough time...

He, or rather the members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, definitely possess abilities that surpass the rest of the world!

They already exist in two different worlds!

"Does your bet include a clause that prohibits any race other than giants from joining?!"

Shanks wasn't angry at Moria's taunt; he simply asked in a calm tone.

Moria, who already knew of Shanks' existence, naturally wouldn't dwell on this, since his goal wasn't to force Shanks out of the battle.

No! Of course not!

Moria smiled broadly, but his tone turned sharp.

"But since you're qualified to represent Elbaf, does that mean you're also a member of Elbaf?!"

"If Elbaf's side is defeated, you and the Red-Haired Pirates behind you will also have to surrender to the Straw Hat Pirates and become members of the Straw Hats' crew!"

Are you really ready for this?!

Surrender...

Hearing this word from Luffy's subordinate, Shankston felt a sense of bewilderment.

But now that countless camera lenses are pointed at his face, he naturally won't say anything else.

"Of course! Now that I'm here, why would I be afraid of you?!"

Shanks shook the black cloak behind him.

To be honest, although he knew that Pokémon power might have all sorts of effects, he really didn't think that Moria and his gang could do anything to him with just a single Pokémon power.

Look across the way, almost all of them are items that have been in the sea for no more than five years.

The only two old guys were the Shichibukai who Shanks never bothered to even glance at.

Apart from Hawkeye, Shanks believes that none of the other Shichibukai can withstand his "Divine Evasion" attack. He really doesn't think any of them can defeat him.

On the other hand, Moria's eyes flashed with an unusual light after hearing Shanks' answer.

"Fine! Since you dare to admit it in front of the whole world, I hope you won't go back on your word when you lose!"

After saying that, Moria raised his head again and focused his gaze on Aruru's face.

"You must be Elder Aruru that Haildin mentioned, right? You're the one in charge of coordinating things here in Elbaf, aren't you?!"

"Now that both sides have all their personnel present, shall we begin the battle?"

"Don't rush, little one~"

Looking at Moria, whose height barely reached his knees, Aruru's gaze darkened.

"Now that our defenders have taken the stage, shouldn't you also send out your challengers to let us see what they're capable of?"

"Hmph! Completely unnecessary!"
