Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 300 Between Flowers (asking for monthly ticket~)

Pangu City, experimental layer area.

The cold corridor was filled with all kinds of equations or biological structure displays with strange patterns. The entire floor seemed to be completely isolated from the outside world. There was no sound or movement at all, and it was filled with a mysterious and depressing atmosphere.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps unexpectedly broke the eerie silence.

Tread, step, step...

A girl with short orange hair suddenly poked her head out from the corner of the corridor, like a kitten about to steal some fish, her alert eyes scanning the surroundings.

After a moment, after confirming that there was no problem, Nami, carrying the snakeskin bag, tiptoed out from the corner.

"Huh~ As expected of the Five Elders' laboratory, it actually occupies an entire floor. It's as big as a city."

Nami breathed a sigh of relief as she walked out of the corridor.

Even though Robin and Brooke had already explored the area, she still couldn't relax in this strange situation with the treasure in her hands.

After all, this level is really too weird!

Originally they thought that this place would be heavily guarded like other areas in Pangu City.

But when they came to this floor through the ventilation duct, they were shocked to find that this place was not what they thought at all.

This entire floor is a huge scientific research base, with various laboratories.

And the gaps between each laboratory are huge.

Maybe the previous one was still developing weapons and artillery shells, and the next one may be life sciences.

They can even see traces of time between laboratories with different styles and projects.

It was as if someone had been conducting different experiments here long ago.

Thinking of what Chi Hong once said... the Five Elders are likely to be monsters that have survived from eight hundred years ago...

The scene before her made Nami shudder.

But compared to Nami's fear, the three companions beside him had completely different feelings.

To Brook, who is more bizarre than most of the experimental subjects on this level, the spliced ​​corpses and clones in biochemical fluid are nothing special.

As for Robin, she can find all kinds of clues with historical traces here, which always make her amazed and think.

As for Luffy, who carries dozens of precious devil fruits...

He became even more fearless!
He opened his mouth wide, revealing two rows of white teeth, and passed by Nami as if he was on a picnic, and ran to the door of a laboratory in surprise.

Then he pressed his face hard against the window and cheered inside:
"Hey, everyone, come and see!?"

"There are so many strange combat uniforms here!"

"If we bring these things back to Usopp, can he help each of us make a set of combat uniforms like his?"

Luffy's eyes sparkled with gold, and he laughed expectantly as if he had thought of something interesting.

Seeing Luffy like this, the alertness on Nami's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a look of three parts helplessness, three parts fear, three parts melancholy, and one part clenched fist.

"Hey, Luffy! This is enemy territory, can you please be a little more careful?"

But Luffy obviously couldn't understand Nami at this moment. He was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden and was in high spirits at this moment.

After hearing Nami's words, he turned back subconsciously: "Snacks? What snacks?"

“Is there a dessert lab here!?”

"........."

"You idiot..."

boom!
Nami, with tears in her eyes, punched Luffy on the head with her armed color.

"Asshole! You're going to destroy my nervousness!"

"Do you know where we are now?!"

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts..." Luffy was beaten for no reason and didn't understand why. "Why did you hit me all of a sudden, Nami?"

"Also, aren't we in Pangu Castle in Marijoa? Nami, why are you so forgetful?"

"Baga~" Nami clenched her fist, and was about to give her captain another heavy punch.

But at this moment...

The sound of a metal door opening suddenly interrupted her actions.

呲——

The sound of the door opening made Nami freeze in place as if she were frozen.

Luffy, who thought he was going to be beaten, secretly opened one eye and looked at Nami who had her fist raised in the air.

"Na..." Luffy was about to ask curiously, but in an instant, an arm appeared out of nowhere and covered his mouth.

The next moment, Robin and Brook, one on the left and one on the right, pulled Nami and Luffy into a laboratory and hid them.

Step, step...

The sound of heavy footsteps reached the ears of several people one after another, mixed with the sound of crutches hitting the ground.

In an instant, even Robin and Brook, who were always calm and composed, couldn't help but break out in a layer of sweat.

Luckily, the guy who entered the lab didn't seem to be aware of the presence of Luffy and the others.

The footsteps passed by them, then gradually moved away, heading towards the laboratory deep in the experimental floor.

Until all the footsteps disappeared.

"Whoo~"

Nami and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Could that guy be the Five Elders that Akane mentioned?" Nami asked curiously.

But Robin shook his head gently, "I don't know, but I can feel that person has a very strong spiritual power."

"Yo roo roo~ You really are moving forward step by step carefully." Brook wiped the sweat off his face and sighed.

"woo woo woo woo……"

At this moment, Luffy, whose mouth was covered by three people, began to struggle instantly.

Nami and the other two then noticed Luffy, whose face had turned ashen, and quickly let go of their hands.

“Hoo!~Hoo~!~”

"You...are you going to murder the captain!?"

Luffy, who finally breathed in oxygen again, stuck out his tongue and expressed his anger to his crew members.

But Nami and the other two seemed not to hear anything and continued discussing the previous topic.

"What should we do? The direction that guy went seems to be the place where we escaped."

"Should we risk going over there!?"

Nami looked at the place where the footsteps disappeared, a look of worry on her face.

"Not right!" Robin sighed calmly, "We don't know what the situation is outside yet. It would be bad if we get into trouble and interfere with Chihong and the others' actions."

"So..." The spiritual fire in Brooke's eyes jumped slightly, "Instead of taking the risk of going directly to the escape route, we might as well find a way to continue upwards."

"As long as we can leave this mental interference area, we can get in touch with Chihong again."

"There will be no need to be confused about future actions."

"Well, now that things have come to this, this is the only way."

Nami and Robin nodded in unison.

"Then the rest of the exploration work will be left to you."

"Yohohoho~ I'm happy to help."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ghostly green will-o'-the-wisp suddenly emerged from Brook's body. After nodding at Nami and Robin, he went straight to explore the area above the experimental floor.

…………

"Come on, come on."

"Only the last one-fifth of the area is left. The slaves in the castle area have been rescued."

Above the chaotic Marijoa, Crimson Eyes was calm, with a slight smile on the corners of his mouth, as he stared at the city below where flames were raging.

As the slave team continued to expand, more and more teams were assigned by Sanji to rescue other slaves.

In just half an hour, there were more than a dozen forces in the entire castle area, constantly rushing into the castle and liberating all the slaves.

In some of these teams, there are many brave men who have not even removed the collar bombs around their necks, but still join the battle without hesitation!

Perhaps they are very clear that this may be the last chance in their lives.

So instead of hiding behind the strong like a pitiful creature, they choose to take the opportunity into their own hands.

The faster they helped the Straw Hat Pirates rescue the slaves, the faster they would be able to follow them and leave this hell that was like a nightmare to them.

Time passes slowly.

Finally, with the unremitting efforts of the slaves, all the slaves in the castle area have been completely liberated.

And four full hours have passed since the Straw Hat Pirates and the supernovas reached the holy land of Marijoa.

During this period, Pangu City was not completely unresponsive.

About an hour ago, a group of CP0 who had completed the approval procedures suddenly appeared from the direction of Pangu City and entered the castle area where only Tianlong people could move freely.

However, as soon as they appeared, they were discovered by Chihong who was in charge of the overall situation...

Then, one dimensional hole after another appeared in front of them, and before the CP0 agents could react, they were directly teleported to the underground area where Zoro was.

Although CP0's agents are quite powerful, they have already suffered heavy losses in several major incidents.

Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and many powerful CP0s have been sent to the Four Emperors Pirate Group to carry out missions.

Almost all those who were able to stay in Mary Geoise were the old, weak, sick and disabled people and pure scoundrels among CP0.

Either they are the sons of officials who have some connections and forced their way in, or they were seriously injured while performing their duties and had to work behind the scenes.

In short, these guys were so strong that they didn't even see Zoro's Pokémon transformation, and they died directly under his Nine Swords Style: Demonic Sword Art.

At this point, Chihong didn't know how long he could keep secret what happened in the castle area.

He had already prepared for the final battle.

What he didn't expect was...

Before Chihong could organize all the slaves to head towards Capone and prepare to evacuate, Nami's panicked cry for help suddenly rang in his mind.

"Help!!! Red!!!"

"It seems like we... accidentally came to an incredible place!!!"

"Huh?" Chihong was suddenly stunned.

But the next moment, Robin's voice followed closely.

Although her tone was as calm and composed as usual, the inexplicably accelerated tone was enough to show the seriousness of the incident.

"Don't worry too much, Red!"

"There is no limit to my mental strength here. I can use teleportation to take everyone away from Pangu City at any time."

"It's just that the place we are in now is a little unusual... This entire floor is full of beautiful flowers."

"I suspect... this might be the flower room where you, Akane, mentioned... where Im, the mastermind behind the World Government, lives."

???

Haruka's red mind froze in the castle area.

no……

Didn’t we agree to leave immediately after stealing the devil fruit?

How come in the blink of an eye, you guys ran to the lair of the opposing BOSS?

But we haven't arrived yet, isn't it a bit unwise to choose to fight the final BOSS at this time! ?

For a moment, countless thoughts ran through Chihong's mind.

He subconsciously wanted to quickly activate the dimensional cave to bring back Luffy and the others and prepare for evacuation.

But before he could raise his arms completely, Chihong's thoughts flashed through his mind again.

Sabo, whose strength is not even at the level of an admiral, can successfully escape from the siege of the Five Elders and Im...

Perhaps, he doesn't need to be so cautious!
People fear Marijoa, but they don't know what kind of power is hidden there.

Unknown forces often make it difficult for people to muster up courage.

But although Red doesn't think they have the strength to fight against the World Government...

But if he just had to escape from the World Government, he didn't think he would do any worse than Sabo!
What's more, all the slaves who need to be rescued have been rescued now.

The remaining slaves imprisoned in Pangu City were really beyond their capabilities.

and so……

"It seems the role of the Justice Messenger has ended?"

"So, we can be pirates again!"

Chihong suddenly stopped the dimensional hole that was about to be activated, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose as he thought about it.

The next moment, he asked Luffy directly in the voice channel for everyone:

"Luffy, are you interested in doing something big?!"

"Um?!"

Chihong's voice made everyone in the voice channel stunned.

Do something big! ?
All the supernovas couldn't help but stop.

They looked at the now dilapidated castle area, which looked as if it had been bombarded by artillery fire, and the corpses of one or two Celestial Dragons that appeared on the ground from time to time.

Although the vast majority of the Celestial Dragons escaped under the protection of the guards, a rough calculation shows that the number of Celestial Dragons who died in this incident was at least in the three digits.

At this moment, the supernovas even felt that even if they died on the battlefield in the next second, their names would be recorded in history and admired by future generations.

Then you suddenly told me...you want to do something bigger?!

Is your understanding of the word "big" different from that of normal people?
In an instant, the supernovas tacitly chose to remain silent.

They have seen enough of the Straw Hat Pirates' methods tonight.

They also want to know...

To what extent can the Straw Hat Pirates, who seem to be omnipotent, achieve?

Soon, Luffy's voice was heard in the everyone channel:

"Of course!"

"I've been waiting for you to say this for a long time, Red!"

Luffy, who was standing between the flowers, grinned and clenched his fists, making a "crunching" sound.

As the person who has known Akane the longest, Luffy is willing to follow Akane's request and complete the theft mission quietly.

Because he understands...

Chihong's approach is to respect everyone's life and he is unwilling to use his companions' lives as bargaining chips to achieve his goals.

But at the same time, Luffy also knew very well...

Red is an ultimate fun person!!!
Once he was sure his companions were safe, he would go his own way...

Turn the world upside down!!!
