One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Just recently, the Straw Hat Pirates successfully obtained intelligence about extraterrestrial forces, and everyone is busy preparing for exploring space!"

"I see you as a promising talent, which is why I don't want to rush through this battle, and that's why I'm telling you these things."

"Stop wasting your talent and strength! Open your eyes, the world is far more vast than you imagine!"

"Join us, and one day in the future, perhaps you and I will also have the chance to escape this world and see the vastness of the world!"

The fact that the Straw Hat Pirates are about to embark on a space trip is no secret to the captains of these large fleets.

Some of them, like the Straw Hat crew, yearn for the mysterious universe, while others feel that having everything they have now and ruling over a piece of land is already the life they dream of.

Moria, who had long since rediscovered the ambition of his youth, was naturally one of those who also yearned to travel to the universe and see a wider world!

Crimson had also told him that if the situation in the universe were stable enough, they might have a chance to enter the universe and make contact with forces from beyond the planets in the future.

It was precisely because Moria deeply longed for that kind of situation that he spoke these words to Loki with utmost sincerity!

Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon!

"You...you're...really telling the truth!?"

Forced to revert to his normal giant form under the torment of the shadow power, Loki raised his head, a strangely complex expression flashing in his fierce eyes.

He wasn't some clueless idiot. Although Elbaf was known for its brutes, it also possessed a wealth of cultural treasures that were hard for outsiders to imagine.

Loki had heard a little about the existence of worlds beyond the stars when he was a child, but he always thought it was just a fantasy.

"Of course!" Moria's firm reply made the light in Loki's eyes shine even brighter.

Even though he was the one who was tied up, Loki, now free from the influence of his timid state, was still able to speak fiercely:

"If I find out that what you said is all lies, I will definitely not let you off the hook!"

"Hehehe~" Moria grinned, "Wait until you truly possess power surpassing mine before you start spouting such boasts!"

……

……

Elbaf, the Underworld.

Looking at the dark area that had been silent for a long time, both the giants of Elbaf and the viewers in front of the screen were eagerly waiting for what was to come.

Finally, at that moment, the black curtain suddenly vanished from top to bottom, like melted chocolate.

Moria and Loki were thus exposed to the public eye.

Just as many people were starting to smile, thinking they were finally going to see a thrilling battle...

Loki, representing the giants, suddenly let out a maniacal laugh and raised his hand, saying:

"I surrender!!!"

Chapter 514 The Last Glory of Elbaf

???

No, buddy?

I know you look down on Elbaf, but there's no need to degrade yourself like this!

Loki, the cursed prince who never even took Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, seriously and who always vowed revenge, actually surrendered!?

The giants stared in disbelief at Loki as he walked away.

Wait a moment!?

Is something wrong?

Why is Loki standing with Moria in the Straw Hat squad?!

What the hell!

There's a traitor among us!

Without any pretense, Loki walked straight to the Straw Hat crew's side.

At this moment, even the Straw Hat crew looked at Loki, who had inexplicably found a corner to sit down, with surprise.

"Moria, what's going on?"

Barto asked curiously.

Having read the intelligence, they naturally knew that Loki of Elbaf was a powerful figure second only to the Four Emperors.

But they had never heard of Loki having any connection with their Straw Hat Pirates!

"Hehehehe~"

Having anticipated the question, Moria let out a sinister laugh, then arrogantly declared:

"Can't you see? Loki has been impressed by my power and decided to join the Moonlight Pirates. He's practically one of us now!"

"You shameless onion head!"

Barto turned his head and spat inwardly.

He didn't believe that the cursed prince mentioned in the intelligence report would be subdued by Moria's power; it would be more likely if it were the Straw Hat Pirates.

However, after Moria's explanation, everyone roughly guessed the truth of the matter.

It seems the Straw Hat Grand Fleet is about to welcome another terrifyingly powerful figure!

Loki, who already possessed combat strength at the level of a Marine Admiral, experienced a leap in power after combining it with the power of various Pokémon...

The scene was terrifying just to think about!

Although they looked down on Moria's words, the battlefield was still being broadcast live globally, and because of Loki's sudden defection, all the cameras were now focused on the Straw Hats, so they didn't bother to embarrass Moria anymore.

On the giants' side, after a deep sigh, Aruru also shook his giant axe with a helpless expression.

"quiet!!!"

His gaze then swept lightly over Shanks and the other two, and he said in a deep voice:

"I will personally lead the next battle!!!"

"Elder Yaru!"

The giant warriors were deeply moved.

How embarrassing!!!

They had considered the possibility of losing to the Straw Hat Pirates.

After all, the Straw Hat crew is currently at the height of their power, so it wouldn't be unacceptable for them to join them.

But... it's just so embarrassing!!!

From Dorry and Brogy, the captains of pirate crews who brought glory to the Giant Warrior Pirates over a hundred years ago, to Loki, who just managed to plunge the entire Elbaf into chaos...

In every battle, the giants fought with great frustration and suffered utter defeats!

Even Hajrudin, who also joined the Straw Hat crew, despite unleashing power that shocked the giants, was still utterly helpless against Cavendish.

When it came to Loki, he went even further and surrendered to the Straw Hat crew right in front of a global audience!

How could this possibly save face for the giants?!

Even if we can't defeat the Straw Hat crew, we should at least have a closely fought battle that showcases the prowess of Elbaf warriors!

but……

Seeing Elder Aruru with a giant sword stuck in his head, the giants couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.

They had already given up hope of victory.

I just pray that Elder Aruru... won't die.

……

……

"Has it finally reached the last giant?!"

With the help of Perona and others, as well as his own shadow, Moria grinned as he once again imprisoned the Sea King shadows within him.

He tilted his head and smiled at Barto beside him:

"Barto, it's all yours now!"

"what!"

Bartolomeo, who had just been mocking Moria, revealed a ruthless smile on his devilish face after seeing Aruru appear.

He swung his arm around forcefully a few times, a smirk playing on his lips:

"It's finally my turn!"

"If we wait any longer, our bodies will rust!"

As he spoke, a cloud of dust suddenly rose from beneath Barto's feet, and he flashed to the very center of the battlefield, arms crossed, waiting with an arrogant air for Aruru, who had set off first.

"They're here! They're here! It's Barto of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet!"

"Ahhh, it's this guy! I want to see Prince Cavendish!"

"Can't you solo fans just shut up?! This is a battle royale?! Do you think this is a talent show?! You actually dared to pick a fight like this!"

"Quiet down! Quiet down! Just watch the battle! Bartolomeo is the number two in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. In terms of rank, he's much higher than Moria and second only to the number one, Buggy. I wonder what kind of power Bartolomeo will show this time!"

"Hmph~ He's just a clown and an idiot who got lucky and joined the Straw Hat crew early. What number one or number two? If we're talking about strength, Moria and Hancock were both Shichibukai before. They are the strongest! Otherwise, why would the Straw Hat leadership entrust such an important matter to Moria to command!"

"Idiot! Does anyone really think the Seven Warlords of the Sea are strong?! They're just a bunch of cowardly cowards who don't have the guts to surrender to the World Government!"

"What the hell did you say, you bastard!?"

"What? You're not happy? Let's have a one-on-one fight!"

"Fine! Who's afraid of you?!"

"........."

"........."

In the bustling squares, various events unfolded during the live broadcast, each as exciting as the content itself.
