Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 421 Luffy's Acting MAX (asking for monthly ticket~)

"Captain Kaido, with this, the last virus release device has been installed."

"It won't be long before the entire island will be enveloped by the virus we developed, and all the living things here will die without exception!!!"

In the corner of the Celebration Island, Quinn placed a strange device half a person's height in a hidden corner. He immediately showed a crazy smile and reported to Kaido.

At this time, Caesar on the side also came over and took the credit:

"By the way, Lord Kaido, this virus has not had a suitable name since its birth~"

"Since it will soon shock the world, I think it needs to be given a catchy name!"

"Hey, you bastard!"

The pushed away Quinn pulled at Caesar's clothes, trying to pull him away from Kaido.

He was clearly a guy who came to them for help due to his difficulties, but how come he is now showing signs of becoming the fourth most important figurehead!
It would be fine if he was just an ordinary fighter.

Quinn, who is also a scientist, will never allow Caesar, this bastard, to be on an equal footing with him and take up his research funds!!!
However, at this moment, Kaido suddenly burst into a hearty laugh:

"Wolf Wolf~ You're right, this virus should be given a resounding name!"

Just now, they had seen through the live broadcast of Celebration Island the scene where Hawkeye suddenly fainted during the battle.

Although in the live broadcast, people kept saying topics like "Hawkeye was defeated by Zoro, and a new world swordsman has been born."

But Kaido and his team, who were the instigators of this incident, knew very well...

Hawkeye was not defeated by the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, but by their beast virus!!!
This virus is colorless and odorless, and has a certain incubation period. After the outbreak, it will devour all living creatures except the Beasts Pirates like a ferocious beast.

As for why the members of the Beasts Pirates will not be disturbed by this virus! ?
That's of course because shortly after the virus was developed, they developed a vaccine to prevent the virus and injected it into all the pirates of the Beasts Pirates.

But under Kaido's orders, they didn't know what they were injected with!

With this powerful virus, the day when the Beasts Pirates will dominate the world is just around the corner!!!
Kaido had never imagined before that the power of technology would be so strong.

After all, he thought that his strength was invincible at that time.

But with the emergence of the Straw Hat Pirates, and the blows from previous major events, Kaido is no longer so confident in his own strength.

But it doesn’t matter!

There is always a way out.

Although he is not good at head-on combat, he still has more powerful means.

With this virus, the straw hat, white beard, red hair, and the five elders of the world government...

They will all become stepping stones to help him ascend the throne of Pirate King!

After thinking for a moment, Kaido grinned and said:
"Since this virus is so overbearing, and it is also a magical weapon that will help me become the king..."

"Then why not just call him Overlord Virus!!!"

“What a great name!!!”

Bang bang bang~
Caesar, who had been waiting for a long time, didn't even hear what Kaido said, he just widened his eyes and clapped his hands seriously and approvingly.

Once, once, and again!
Such a scene naturally made Kaido laugh again.

Of course he could see Caesar's flattery.

But now, a world-class scientist who can develop such a terrible virus is so humble as to flatter himself...

This feeling can be summed up in one word: comfortable!
Looking at Caesar, whose face was full of "I want to improve so much", even Jhin couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

My position as the hidden vice-captain of the Beasts Pirates will not be taken away by this flattering guy! ?
Fortunately, the great cause has not yet been accomplished, and they have not been too early to sink into the joy of victory.

Soon, Kaido asked:

"How long will it take for the Straw Hat Pirates to develop a disease?"

"This one……"

Kaiser hesitated for a moment, then said thoughtfully:

"Given the virus's transmission rate, in about a day, all living things on this island will be infected."

"In two days, all the Straw Hat Pirates will lose their limbs and their ability to fight!"

"It will take two more days..."

Kaido groaned.

After all, delay would lead to unexpected events, and the Straw Hat Pirates had all kinds of methods that even he couldn't understand. If the Overlord Virus didn't achieve the desired results, that would not be fun.

"no!"

"We must stabilize the Straw Hat Pirates. At least make sure they stay on this island for the next two days!"

Because the live broadcast was interrupted after Hawkeye fell into a coma, Kaido and his companions did not know that the Straw Hat Pirates had cracked their virus.

So much so that Kaido is still seriously thinking about how to keep the Straw Hat Pirates on this island.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye he suddenly saw the naval warships that had been surrounding the island.

"Yes~!"

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Kaido's mind.

The navy is still setting up defenses all around, but because he and the Straw Hat Pirates, two of the Four Emperors, are here, they dare not take a step forward. (At least that's what Kaido thinks.)
Then he could use the alliance to fight against the navy and stay with the Straw Hat Pirates.

At that time, we can solve the problems as soon as they occur to prevent any further complications!

Just like that, Kaido and the other three were quickly discussing what to say when they meet the Straw Hat Pirates, but they didn't notice...

Behind them, a green ghost was slowly rising from the ground, its eyes flashing with dark light staring at the four of them.

……

……

A moment later, on the deck of the Merry.

"Is it really Kaido and his gang who are behind this?!"

After hearing Brook's report, Chihong, who had expected this, immediately raised the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, he was not angry because of Kaido's despicable tactics. Instead, he was grateful that he could give him such a great gift.

Originally, he was still thinking about what means he should use to subdue those pirate groups that he had his eyes on.

But now with Kaido's move, if these pirate groups do not join the Straw Hat Pirates and receive purification treatment, death will be the only thing waiting for them!
Including Hawkeye, the world's greatest swordsman!

Thinking of this, Chihong suddenly turned his gaze to Hawkeye, whose eyes were burning with anger, and said in a serious tone:
"Senior Hawkeye, you heard it too, right? This is indeed what Kaido and his men did."

"It seems that they have gone to extreme lengths to deal with us."

"I'm sorry to involve you, Senior."

At this moment, Red was like a humble and polite junior, showing an apologetic and guilty look to Hawkeye.

"No!"

Hearing what Chi Hong said, Hawkeye's anger suddenly dissipated a lot, and then he said to Chi Hong seriously:
"This incident has nothing to do with you. It's all because I was too careless."

"But..." Chihong's expression remained unchanged, "The footage of your fight with Zoro just now has been broadcast live to the entire world."

"Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are reasons for your defeat, the truth is only in the hands of a few people after all."

"I'm afraid that the news of the change of the world's greatest swordsman has spread across the ocean now."

"It's okay, it's just some empty title." Hawkeye, who had recovered, continued to be as aloof as ever, but from the reluctance in the depths of his eyes, it was not difficult to see that he didn't really want to give up this title. But the next moment, he still shook his head and said softly:

"Anyway, it's a fact that Zoro defeated me."

"I will hold the Beasts Pirates responsible for all this!!!"

Don’t think that Hawkeye, who has a cool and aloof personality, is a good person!
To know……

Before becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he was a famous naval hunter in this ocean!

As the saying goes, there are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames.

The fact that Hawkeye has gained such a reputation is enough to prove how many navy men he killed when he was young.

Even so, he was invited by the World Government to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and lived a stable life with the emperor's food.

Now that he was framed by the Beasts Pirates and almost died, this matter absolutely cannot be let go like this!

At this moment, seeing that the fire was almost ready, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his red eyes.

"But it's probably hard to pose a fatal threat to Kaido with your power alone, right!?"

"Even if we add our strength, we can indeed easily defeat the Beasts Pirates..."

"But that would be too easy for the beasts."

"I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with us to play a trick on Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, and bring him to ruin!"

"Hmm?" Hawkeye was stunned for a moment, but then his eyes flashed with interest, "What plans do you have? Tell me!"

"Hehe~"

Chihong gave a sly smile.

And every time he showed such an expression, it meant that someone was going to be in big trouble soon!!!

……

……

The emergence of the virus incident did not affect the progress of the Straw Hat Pirates' banquet.

With Sanji awakening the power of the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit, a sumptuous meal soon appeared on the deck of the Merry.

With Luffy, a fun guy, present, a joyful banquet was held as scheduled.

"Let's welcome our new partner Redfield!!!"

Luffy raised his glass high. Even though it contained some kind of fruit drink, it did not affect the heroic spirit he exuded at the moment.

The members of the Straw Hat Pirates also responded, raising their glasses and cheering loudly to celebrate the addition of their new partner.

Looking at the strange but kind faces in front of him, Redfield, who had never enjoyed the taste of companionship, felt mixed emotions for a moment.

Fortunately, he is already in his twilight years and is not so pretentious.

Now that he has made his choice, and is set to be a pirate with his most admired partner, he will just enjoy this new life in the years to come.

"thank you all!"

Redfield raised his glass, looked at the empty seat that everyone had deliberately left for him, and then drank it without hesitation!
Bang~!

The wine glass made a slight sound and the wine floated towards us.

A feast of eating and drinking begins!

At this moment, the joyful atmosphere of the Straw Hat Pirates formed a sharp contrast with the pirates below who were worried about how to leave the Celebration Island.

However, when the banquet was halfway through, a group of uninvited guests suddenly broke into the deck of the Merry and interrupted the banquet.

"Wolf woof woof, what a refined taste~"

"Everyone from the Straw Hat Pirates!"

boom!
A cloud of flames emitting blazing flames descended from the sky, and Kaido and his men landed on the deck of the Merry without hesitation, and then let out a hearty laugh.

"You are... Kaido!?"

Seeing the person coming, Luffy, who was chewing a piece of meat, swallowed the meat that was blocking his throat with force, and then looked at the person with surprise.

Chihong, who saw this scene, was actually moved to the point of wanting to cry.

I have to say, people really do grow!
Luffy, you can finally lie without batting an eyelid!

Red, who had been ready to make amends for Luffy, sighed with relief in his heart.

He immediately stood up, played the role of the red-faced man, looked at Kaido and others warily, and then asked:

"Kaido, the Beast! Why are you here?!"

"Wolf woof woof~ Can you please stop speaking so politely!?"

A hint of cunning flashed across Kaido's eyes.

But then he laughed heartily as if he had met an old friend.

"We had a pleasant cooperation last time, didn't we, Lord Red!?"

"Don't make it seem like we are enemies."

"The last time was the last time..." Chi Hong didn't buy it after hearing this, "I have already given you many special potions and devil fruits. The relationship between us is now settled."

"Besides, we are all members of the Four Emperors' Pirate Group. I don't think your sudden appearance at this time is a coincidence."

"I see... you guys are here for the Eternal Pointer of the Final Island, right?!"

"Forehead……"

Kaido was stunned when he heard this.

After all, he knew some secrets and didn't believe that the Eternal Pointer was the real thing.

If Chihong hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it.

But in an instant, his eyes flickered, and his expression suddenly changed, as if someone had discovered some secret, and he laughed awkwardly:
"Haha, what are you talking about, Lord Chihong?"

"We did come here for the Eternal Hand, but since the Eternal Hand of the Final Island has fallen into your hands, we naturally won't have any unreasonable thoughts."

"After all, the last battle is still vivid in my mind."

"Perhaps, this is fate's arrangement!"

Kaido showed a resigned expression of an old man and shook his head dejectedly, as if he had really given up the competition for the position of Pirate King.

Chihong remained alert: "Do you think we will believe your nonsense!?"

But at this moment, Luffy on the side suddenly interrupted:
"Hey, Red!"

"Since people are already like this, why don't you stop being so aggressive?!"

As he spoke, Luffy raised the wine glass in his hand, and laughed at Kaido like a man showing off his victory:
"Hahaha, you're right. With the Eternal Pointer, it won't be long before I become the Pirate King!!!"

"By then, all the pirates in the world will obey my orders!"

"You are no exception~Kaido!!!"

"Wow ha ha ha ha……"

Luffy, who memorized his lines for the first time, laughed triumphantly, and the Straw Hat people secretly gave him a thumbs up!
