One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

The next second, a surge of powerful grass-attribute energy erupted within his body and rapidly converged at the soles of his feet.

In an instant, a large patch of lush green grass miraculously grew on the deck of the Merry, verdant and vibrant.

A delicate fragrance wafted on the Merry.

Under the bright moonlight, Chi Hong stood in a green field, letting the sea breeze blow her hair that was exposed outside her baseball cap.

Despite his carefree and youthful appearance, a heavy atmosphere inexplicably lingered on his face.

"so……"

"I'm going to have another task added to my schedule!?"

His bright red lips twitched.

As mentioned before, the enduring nature of badge achievement rewards provides a comprehensive boost to Crimson.

Therefore, even the Pokémon moves he unleashes will become more durable.

For example, right now, in this patch of green grass, the crimson color is clearly perceptible...

It can be retained for at least 12 hours!

And considering its ability to restore physical strength and heal injuries...

This is absolutely the perfect training ground!!!

"I don't know why, but I suddenly miss offensive moves like Primal Force and Surf."

The crimson lips murmured softly, unable to resist the irresistible allure of the fragrant grassy field.

After all, he couldn't keep the game records at the Pokémon Center every single moment.

With the restoration effect of the grassy terrain, there's no need to worry about the Pokémon Center not being able to restore it in time.

This will also allow the Straw Hat crew to train even more recklessly, to go completely insane!!!

If it weren't for the fact that he himself had to release it at specific times, this would be the perfect move for the Straw Hat crew.

"So be it." Crimson sighed resignedly, looking up at the night sky above.

"So be it, I'll just be a tool."

"Anyway, I don't like fighting."

"Trainers are just tools for Pokémon!"

With these thoughts in mind, Crimson silently returned to the stern of the Merry.

A few days ago, Usopp had already built him a simple hut here, so that he could train his Primal Power while speeding up the Going Merry.

For some reason, after the Grassy Ground move appeared, a familiar line inexplicably echoed in Crimson's mind:

He's destined to be the King of Tools!!!

Chapter 80 The First Showdown (Please continue reading~)

The first rays of dawn pierced through the thick clouds, illuminating the marble-paved ground and reflecting a golden sheen.

East China Sea, the 16th Naval Base.

The rat-like colonel, dressed in a naval officer's uniform, was earnestly giving his daily report to the Den Den Mushi.

"Please rest assured, sir! The waters around the Konom Islands are peaceful under my jurisdiction, and there is absolutely no pirate who would dare to come and cause trouble!"

"what?"

"Oh, you mean the Straw Hat Pirates who've recently risen to prominence in the East Blue?!"

"Please rest assured, all officers of the 16th Branch will be on high alert and will absolutely not allow any villains to run rampant in our jurisdiction!"

"I swear on the justice I bear, evil will be brought to justice!"

Snapped!

As the receiver was hung up, the Den Den Mushi, which had been looking serious, suddenly closed its eyes and fell asleep.

At that moment, Colonel Rat's originally upright face instantly turned incredibly cunning.

He grinned dismissively.

"Ha~ You actually want me to risk my life to suppress bandits?"

"Am I running out of Pelés, or do I have a death wish?"

"Forget it! After all, he's the superior who promoted me. I'll just send a few warships and have those fishmen put on a show to fool them."

Colonel Mouse arrogantly sat down in his boss's chair, looked at the magnificent office, and leisurely stroked his whiskers.

Ever since the Arlong Pirates decided to set up camp in the waters of the Cornish Islands and began cooperating with him, his life has been incredibly enjoyable!

All the pirates that appear in this sea area will be dealt with by the patrolling Arlong Pirates, and the credit will be attributed to him.

Every so often, they can also receive a large amount of tribute from the merfolk.

"This is the kind of life a person should live!"

Whenever he thinks about these things, Colonel Mouse can't help but let out a sinister "squeak squeak squeak" laugh.

However, at that moment...

boom!!!!!

Through the glass behind Colonel Rat, a burst of intense flames suddenly surged forth, instantly engulfing a naval warship docked in the harbor.

Ring ring ring~!!

The urgent alarm bells suddenly rang throughout the entire 16th branch.

"What...what happened!?"

The sudden explosion startled Colonel Rat, who quickly stood up and looked out the window.

Two or three minutes later, his office door was violently pushed open by a naval soldier.

The visitor was none other than his adjutant, whom he had personally trained.

At this moment, the naval adjutant who had colluded with him looked flustered and stammered:

"Oh no, oh no, oh no, something terrible has happened! Colonel Rat!"

"Pirates are attacking!!!"

"What!?"

Peng!

The mouse slammed its fist on the table in anger.

"Are they idiots?! This is a naval base!"

"Mobilize the troops immediately! I want to see who dares to be so bold!"

"Wait...wait a minute, Colonel Rat..."

A flicker of hesitation crossed the adjutant's face. The next moment, he shakily pulled a crumpled wanted poster from his pocket and said:

"According to the soldiers' report, the guys who attacked us are very likely the notorious pirates who have been making headlines in the East China Sea lately..."

"【Straw Hat Boy】Monkey D. Luffy!!!"

"What did you say!?"

Tread, step, step...

Colonel Mouse ran all the way and snatched the bounty poster from his adjutant's hand.

A bounty of 5000 million Berries suddenly caught his eye.

Why would he come here!?

The mouse let out a startled cry, seemingly out of nowhere.

Due to years of withholding military pay and the lack of sea missions, the 16th Branch had only about half the number of naval soldiers as other normal branches.

Many warships have lost their combat capability due to years of neglect in maintenance.

It's wishful thinking for such a dilapidated naval branch to fight against a gang of great pirates.

He immediately and frantically said to his adjutant:

"Quickly! Contact those mermen and tell them to send reinforcements!"

The rat knew that the Arlong Pirates were pirates arrested on the Grand Line.

Pirates on the Grand Line have always shared a common flaw: they look down on pirates from all over the world.

Regardless of the size of the reward.

Moreover, he had the privilege of witnessing the strength of the Arlong Pirates.

Brigadier General Pudding of the 77th Branch was easily killed by two officers of the Arlong Pirates.

As long as the Arlong Pirates come to reinforce them, the Straw Hat crew is nothing to fear!

However, no sooner had the mouse finished speaking than the adjutant immediately complained:

"No, Colonel Rat."

"I've been trying to contact the Arlong Pirates ever since the beginning, but no one has responded at all!"

"Damn it! These murlocs always mess things up at the crucial moment!"

"How many people and how many warships do they have?!"

The deafening roar of cannon fire rang out one after another, and almost every shot hit a warship.

Under the overwhelming firepower, the rat subconsciously assumed that the Straw Hat crew, who had a bounty of 5000 million Berries, were a fleet as large as the Krieg Pirates.

Upon hearing this, the adjutant hesitated for a moment before replying, "According to the soldiers' report just now, the enemy seems to have only one light sailing ship, and only five pirates on board!"

"What!? Five people!?"

The mouse paused for a moment, then its cunning eyes darted around.

To have a bounty of 5000 million Berries on someone's head, they must be no ordinary person.
