Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 228 Entering the Mist (asking for monthly tickets~)

"W-W-W-What!!!?"

Seeing how Red said such explosive news so casually, the Straw Hat Pirates showed exaggerated expressions of shock on their faces.

Even when they saw the Merry destroy an island with one shot, they never had such an expression.

But seeing the Straw Hat Pirates' expressions, Luffy scratched his head in confusion.

"Eh!? Weird, didn't I tell you about this?!"

"Of course I didn't say that!!!"

The Straw Hats shouted in unison, but Luffy just smiled innocently:

“Ah… is that so?!”

"But it's not an important matter anyway, so let's just not say it."

"After all, if Chi Hong hadn't told me, I wouldn't know who my father is... I don't think I've seen him since I was born."

"You guy."

Seeing Luffy's indifferent look, everyone instantly realized that he had no idea what the name "Monkey D. Dragon" meant in this world.

only……

"Your grandfather is a naval hero, your father is a revolutionary leader, but you want to be the Pirate King..."

"You, the Monk family, are truly legendary figures."

Sanji blew out a smoke ring and made a rare complaint.

"Hahaha, okay, okay."

At this moment, Chihong suddenly clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"Luffy's family background has nothing to do with us, so let's study the next route carefully!"

"makes sense."

Speaking of sailing, Nami was the first to come back to her senses. She bit her nails and said doubtfully:
"But the next island after the Seven Waters should be the Sabaody Archipelago, right?!"

"Isn't that where the Celestial Dragons frequently appear?!"

"I remember you said, Red, that there are still many masters hidden in the World Government, right?"

"Is it really okay for us to show up over there now?!"

"Of course we can't go directly to the Sabaody Archipelago." Chi Hong grinned, "Not only can we not go to the Sabaody Archipelago..."

"We who have mastered the power of ancient weapons will inevitably become the focus of the World Government's pursuit, and we may even be hunted down by the Five Elders themselves!"

"So in order to avoid such a situation, we must hide during this period of time and must not be discovered by the World Government."

"At least... until we have something more powerful!"

As he spoke, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his red eyes.

Speaking of it, Luffy and his friends defeated Kizaru this time because of a lot of tricks.

The advantage of intelligence, the advantage of numbers, the advantage of capabilities, and the advantage of terrain...

In fact, if the area where Luffy and his friends fought with Kizaru was not on the Bridge of Indecision, but on land, Kizaru would never have been defeated so quickly.

It can even be said that the outcome of this battle is likely to end with the defeat of the three major Straw Hat forces.

It can only be said that time is destiny.

Kizaru, who clearly possesses the world's top combat power, eventually became a prisoner of the Straw Hat Pirates because of such a small factor.

"But..." Nami immediately became confused when she heard Chihong's suggestion.

"The sea area ahead will only be closer to Marinford and Sabaody Archipelago. Shouldn't they be considered safe areas?!"

"Are we going to stay in Rab's abdominal world forever, or sail back?"

"of course not!"

Akane looked at Luffy and the others who were also looking at him with curiosity.

"The abdominal world of Lab can't support the current training intensity of Luffy and the others. We can't waste too much time in such a place."

"Even if Luffy and his friends are already able to defeat the admirals, we shouldn't take it lightly."

"Hehe, judging from your expression, Chihong, you should have the answer already, right?"

"After all, our deputy captain never fights a battle without preparation!"

At this time, Robin smiled and interrupted everyone's subsequent questions.

The corners of his red mouth also slightly raised, and he smiled mysteriously:

"The one who knows me best is Robin."

"Do you remember what I once said about... the Rumba Pirates?!"

"Rumbar Pirates!?" Upon hearing the name of this unfamiliar pirate group, everyone was stunned at first.

Chopper, who was communicating most closely with Lab, was the first to react. His two round eyes looked at Red in confusion:
"The Rumba Pirates, aren't those the partners that Lab has been waiting for?!"

"I remember you said, Red, that they only have one pirate named Brook left, trapped in the Devil's Triangle, right?!"

Because he would occasionally talk about the past when communicating with Lab, Chopper's memory of this incident was slightly better than everyone else's.

After Chopper's reminder, the others also remembered it instantly.

Suddenly, Nami's eyes sparked.

"Devil's Triangle Sea Area!!!"

"Oh right! Usopp, give me the map!"

She suddenly stretched out her hand in front of Usopp.

"what?"

Usopp, who was stunned for a moment, reacted belatedly and stretched out his finger. An old map instantly fell out from his fingertips and landed in Nami's hands.

Ever since Usopp ate the Storage Fruit, the Straw Hat Pirates have started to habitually store some practical tools in Usopp's body.

This ability is even more convenient and faster than Chihong's extra-dimensional hole that allows him to take objects from a distance.

Nami quickly opened the map, and the light in her eyes shone brighter and brighter.

"I see. No wonder Chi Hong-ni doesn't seem to be in a hurry."

She smiled sweetly and showed the map in her hand to everyone.

His fingertips touched a pattern on the map that had a scary skull on it.

The sea area that was clearly marked as a dangerous area by the cartographer successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates.

……

……

boom! ! !
"Haven't you found any trace of the Straw Hat Pirates yet?!" In the New World, in the marshal's office of the former G1 branch of the Navy, now the new Navy headquarters "Marinford".

Akainu, who was eager to make his first move, smashed the desk in front of him with one blow. Hot magma overflowed from his fist and fell onto the wood chips below, instantly burning them into black charcoal.

Although his body was covered with bandages and many frostbitten areas were exposed, Akainu, who was urgently appointed by the Five Elder Stars to become the new Navy Admiral, was full of energy at the moment.

Perhaps he didn't see Akainu's disdain for the lives of marines during the Battle of Marineford, or he was upset after learning that his teacher Zephyr and colleague Kizaru were missing, or he blamed himself for not playing any role in the previous Battle of Sky Island...

In short, Aokiji lost to Akainu in the battle for the Marshal position, just like in the original anime plot.

However, there is a slight difference from the original book in that this war did not last for ten days.

In just three days, this battle that could change the world was over.

Aokiji did not lose his left leg in the battle, but was seriously injured and lay unconscious in the navy's treatment room.

Akainu, who was already favored by the Five Elders, took office directly after winning the battle, replacing the temporary marshal Tsuru and became the new generation leader of the navy.

however……

Before Akainu could get comfortable in the position of the Navy Admiral, a huge mess fell from the sky and hit him directly on the head!

The Judicial Island, which is known as one of the three major institutions under the World Government along with the Navy Headquarters and Impel Down, was actually breached by a group of unknown pirates!!!
Not only were the garrison troops of more than 10,000 people on the island completely defeated, but the main island, which served as the base area of ​​Judicial Island, was directly destroyed by a strange weapon possessed by this group of pirates...

Completely disappeared from the map!!!

According to the description of the surviving navy soldiers, the source of the weapon was actually the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.

An existence that can destroy an island with one shot...

That is something that only the legendary ancient weapon, Pluto, can do.

Even though the main island of Judicial Island is not very large and cannot be compared with a real island, it is enough to prove that the Straw Hat Pirates have mastered some powerful weapons that are extremely threatening to the world!

Of course, all of the above is actually nothing to Akainu.

After all, the Judicial Island and the Naval Headquarters are two parallel departments.

Even if this matter is embarrassing, it is the World Government that is embarrassing. What does it have to do with Akainu?
What's more, when the attack happened, he had not yet successfully taken office, so it cannot be blamed on him.

but!

What Akainu never expected was...

Kizaru and former Navy Admiral Zephyr, who were originally responsible for supporting the Judicial Island, were defeated by a rookie pirate group.

And he disappeared after the battle!!!
The new Akainu, the unconscious Aokiji, the missing Kizaru...

In the blink of an eye, the admirals, who were once the navy's highest fighting force, disappeared!
This is a huge shame for the Navy!!!
However, facing Akainu's anger, Huo Shaoshan, who was also a hawkish navy, shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Akainu-sama...ah no! Marshal Akainu..."

"But both our navy's warships and the World Government's CP department have already conducted a carpet search of the waters near Judicial Island."

"But apart from some pirates who happened to pass by, no trace of the Straw Hat Pirates was found."

"However, a strange video has been circulated in the black market..."

"Based on the content of the video, it can be determined that a pirate named Usopp from the Straw Hat Pirates used some unknown ability to release countless swarms of insects and defeated all the tens of thousands of troops stationed on Judicial Island!"

"Now in the underground world, the name of 'Usopp, the King of the Insects' has been widely spread and even appeared in many tabloids."

"You managed to eliminate tens of thousands of soldiers on Judicial Island with just one person?"

Akainu held a cigar with a blazing red flame in his mouth, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes:
"We must not allow such a dangerous existence to continue to run rampant. We must nip it in the bud!"

"We must guard the Sabaody Archipelago well! No matter what, we can't let them enter the New World!"

"in addition……"

"The Five Elders have been putting pressure on us. Since we can't find any trace of the Straw Hat Pirates, let's start preparing for their wanted warrant!"

"That bastard Morgans has already made the events of Judicial Island public. If nothing is done, the world will think that the Navy is too weak!"

"Yes, Marshal Akainu!!!"

Huoshaoshan stood at attention and saluted, glanced at the smashed desk, but said nothing more.

After leaving the Marshal's office, the first thing he did was to go to the Logistics Department and buy a new desk for the Marshal's office with his own money.

……

……

"Legislative Island... Luffy and the others have done something big again!"

The New World, a country at war.

The leader of the revolutionaries, Long, stood on the edge of a mountain, holding a newspaper that he had obtained a few days ago but had never had time to read.

A meaningful smile suddenly appeared on the face with the strange "shoe prints" on it.

Especially when he saw the Straw Hat Pirates defeat the Navy Admiral Kizaru and former Admiral Zephyr, an expression of extreme surprise flashed across his face.

But then he started laughing again.

"It seems that you have begun to question the world in your own way, Luffy!?"

"In this case, then believe in your own path and move forward courageously!"

"One day, we will meet in the passage of time!!!"

……

……

New World, Kraikana Island.

"What a waste of time. The challengers are getting weaker and weaker these days. I might as well get some good sleep!"

Pfft! ! !
After easily killing a pirate with the strength of a great swordsman, Hawkeye put away his gorgeous black sword, yawned boredly, and pretended to walk towards his castle.

However, at this moment, a brand new wanted warrant suddenly fell from the pirate's body.

The moment he saw the wanted poster, his eyes, which were originally half-sleep, suddenly widened and he looked at the wanted poster on the ground with some surprise.

Because he had been sailing in the doldrums for the past few days, Mihawk didn't know much about the major events that had happened recently.

So much so that after seeing the bounty on the ground, his brain instantly perked up.

A green headscarf, eyes like a beast, an unusual three-sword style...

Seeing the familiar sight on the wanted poster, Mihawk immediately stepped forward to pick it up, and then exclaimed with mixed emotions:
"Is it really the three-sword swordsman from the East Sea... Roronoa Zoro!?"

"But why is this happening!?"

Mihawk looked at the amount on the bounty in confusion, and then began to count the numbers one by one.

After counting three times in a row, he confirmed that he had not made any mistakes and exclaimed in disbelief:

"Eight hundred and eighty million Baileys!?"

"Could it be that the World Government discovered that he killed the Celestial Dragons?!"
