Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

As orders were issued one after another, almost all the naval warships docked at the port of New Marinford moved out in full force and headed towards the sea at the entrance to the New World.

In the New World, where the weather is so unpredictable and no one knows what unexpected events may occur in the next second, such a deployment is tantamount to putting the lives of the naval soldiers on the edge of a knife.

But even though he received such unfair instructions from the World Government, Akainu, who had just become the Admiral of the Navy, could only obey orders obediently without any room for resistance.

The long-silent new world is boiling again.

……

……

Shortly after.

New World, the bow of a naval warship responsible for deploying the New World.

Smoker, wearing a commodore's cloak, held three cigars in his mouth. The turbid smoke kept sweeping around the ship like flowing water, and along with the surging sea water, it maintained the balance of the ship.

"Commodore Smoker."

At this moment, a light voice suddenly came from behind him.

Then a fair-skinned female swordsman wearing square-framed glasses walked up.

Tashigi, who was promoted to the rank of major along with Smoker, was holding a detailed report on the operation, with an incredible look on her face.

"What is it, Tashigi?"

Smoker, with the same complicated expression, turned his head and glanced at her indifferently.

Dashiqi pursed her lips, raised the document in her hand, and said slowly after taking a deep breath:

"Commander Smoker, our headquarters has retrieved the identities of all the criminals involved in the attack on the holy land of Marijoa..."

"Hmm? Are they those guys from the Revolutionary Army!?"

Because the incident happened suddenly, Smoker, who was only a new brigadier general, did not obtain detailed intelligence about the attack before setting sail.

He subconsciously thought that the mastermind behind this incident was the revolutionary army.

After all, they are the only ones in this world who say things like "all men are created equal" and "free the slaves" every day.

However, when Tashigi heard Smoker's guess, a strange look flashed in her eyes again.

"Not the Revolutionary Army, but..."

"Forget it, Brigadier General Smoker, just take a look at it yourself."

Tashigi, who was so shocked that she didn't know what to say, handed the documents in her hand directly to Smoker with a complicated expression.

"Hmm?" Smoker looked at her curiously, then took the thick documents.

What came into view was a series of lists of pirate bounties.

Smoker did not feel unfamiliar with the faces on the list.

Because they are the new pirates who have made a name for themselves in the first half of the Grand Line in recent times.

However, the next second, when some familiar faces came into Smoker's sight, the expression of this old smoker suddenly became abnormal.

Swish-

Smoker quickly flipped through the documents in his hand, and as he read through the pages one by one, his pupils, which were originally full of majesty, had completely widened and become stunned.

"This...how is this possible!?"

He exclaimed loudly, but his face was full of disbelief.

When Dashigi heard this, she also showed her shock with soft eyes.

She subconsciously placed her hand on Xue Zou's waist, and her mind couldn't help but recall the man who gave Xue Zou to her and then easily defeated her in Rogue Town.

She said softly: "I was also shocked when I saw it just now, but the document stated that this information came from the Five Elders who control the World Government, so..."

"It shouldn't be possible to be wrong."

"The Five Elder Stars..."

hiss~

Smoker's heart sank, and he inexplicably felt the documents in his hand become heavier.

"Have they grown to this level without realizing it?!" he sighed silently.

His eyes turned and happened to meet Dashigi's.

Seeing that he wanted to speak but didn't know whether to say it, Smoker immediately said:

"If you want to say something, just say it."

"Ah, this..." Dashiqi paused for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and asked tentatively:

"Mr. Smoker, you and the Straw Hat Pirates should be considered friends, right?"

"You said they took all the slaves from the Holy Land away. What do they want to do?"

"Friends!?" Smoker raised his eyebrows and subconsciously said stubbornly: "I don't have any pirate friends."

But then a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes, and he said slowly:

"However, from what I know about the Straw Hat Pirates, they may not have any special intentions in taking away the slaves..."

"Maybe he simply dislikes the Celestial Dragons and wants to rescue the slaves!"

After all, they have done the same thing before.

"Is that so?" There were no outsiders around, and Dashiqi looked as if it was a matter of fact when she heard this. "It does look like their style of doing things."

Because there have been frequent incidents involving the Celestial Dragons in recent times, the Celestial Dragons, who originally did not have much presence in the navy, have recently been frequently mentioned by the navy.

As time went by and she heard more, Tashigi also came to understand some of the habits of the Celestial Dragons.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that as a soldier, it was her duty to follow orders, she would not want to participate in this operation at all.

It can be seen from the lazy atmosphere on their ship...neither Smoker, the highest commander of the battleship, nor Tashigi, his deputy, have any intention of catching the criminals.

"Okay, stop thinking so much!"

At this moment, Smoker suddenly threw the documents in his hand back to Tashigi, and then looked towards the surging sea in the distance.

"Thinking too much is meaningless for those of us who are weak."

"Instead of worrying about these things, it is better to seize the time and improve your own strength."

"By the way, how is your Armament Haki training going?"

"Um...this..."

Dashiqi's face froze and she turned away awkwardly.

"Oh right! The seas of the New World are so chaotic, I have to go to the cabin to see if there is any problem with the battleship's route!"

She stretched out her finger in realization and ran straight towards the cabin.

It’s not that she is so averse to practicing and improving her strength.

But ever since Smoker disappeared and returned to the navy, he has been like crazy, training non-stop every day, and has become a training maniac.

Relying on the navy's resources and intelligence, in just a few months, Smoker not only mastered the two-color domineering, but even the navy's six styles had begun to take shape.

Plus the power that Smoker told Tashigi privately that he got from the Straw Hat Pirates...

His current strength is already enough to crush some pirates whose bounties are around 100 million. He is definitely a vice admiral in the navy.

If it weren't for the short time, few military achievements, and the suspicion of being kidnapped by pirates, Smoker's rank would not have increased by only one level.

After becoming stronger, Smoker's requirements for his navy, including Tashigi, were directly raised.

Therefore, Tashigi and others were killed directly. Even though the training volume was increased to five times the previous amount, Smoker was still not satisfied.

Over time, Smoker has become a practicing maniac in the eyes of Tashigi and others.

Whenever he talked about cultivation, the sailors under his command would change color reflexively.

"He ran away again..."

Looking at Dashigi's leaving back, Smoker frowned and muttered softly.

"Really? It's getting worse and worse. It's no wonder that the sea is becoming more and more chaotic."

Having seen how the Straw Hat Pirates practiced, he didn't think his request was excessive.

Not to mention the five times daily training amount...

He had already increased his daily training to 20 times the previous amount, but was still completely outclassed by the guys from the Straw Hat Pirates.

Thinking of this, Smoker once again looked at the bounty warrant that Tashigi had dropped on the ground.

There was a picture of Luffy's laughing mouth drawn above.

Looking at the familiar face, Smoker's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly, and he looked towards the direction of the Red Earth Continent.

"It's been a long time, you bastards."

……

……

"It's amazing that there is such a light source in the sea!"

Beneath the Red Earth Continent, more than nine thousand meters below the Holy Land of Marijoa...

A fleet of pirate ships, sometimes arranged in a V-shape and sometimes in a straight line, swam freely in the deep sea.

On the Merry, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper pressed their faces against the thick coating, looking at the island below covered by huge soap bubbles in surprise, with golden light shining in their eyes.

"Be careful! If you puncture the coating, it won't be as simple as killing all of us on the ship!"

Nami stretched out the back of her hand and tapped the three people on the head, causing them to shrink back, covering their heads.

"Don't worry, Nami."

"The coating won't break that easily."

"Even if Luffy punches the coating right now, it won't have any effect on it."

Franky, who had already mastered the coating technology, walked over with a laugh and explained to Nami and the others.

"But then again..."

Franky changed the subject and suddenly looked at Usopp beside him, then said thoughtfully:

"Will it really be okay if we suddenly bring so many people to Fishman Island?!"

"The relationship between fishmen and humans doesn't seem to be very good, right?"

"Do not worry."

"We have an offer that Fishman Island can't refuse!"

At this time, Chihong came over, smiled and said:

"And among the rescued slaves, there are quite a few fishmen and mermaids..."

"We appear as benefactors."

"Repaying a favor? It may not be very moral, but we are pirates anyway, so it doesn't matter."

Zoro, who was practicing on the deck and sweating profusely, stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then, like Luffy and the others, looked expectantly at the Fishman Island below.

According to their original plan...

They may have to live on this island under the sea for a long time in the future.

And when they return to the sea again, that is the moment when they aim their swords at the peak and make a full effort to reach the highest position!

"The world's greatest swordsman!?"

Zoro, who had finally awakened his steel attribute and was on the right track, licked his lips lightly and smiled excitedly.

"Nami-san~Robin-san~I made orange tarts for afternoon tea~!"

Just then, the sound of Sanji floating suddenly came from Merry's cabin.

The next second, a dark flash suddenly appeared on the deck, and a person came to Nami's side, holding two plates of egg tarts with a strong sweet and sour aroma.

“Egg tarts!?”

When Luffy heard that there was food, his nose instantly stood up, as if attracted by the aroma, and he sniffed all the way over, but was pushed away by Sanji with a slap!

"This is the love tart I made especially for Nami-san and Robin-san. Yours are in the kitchen, go get them yourself!"

"Tsk~ It won't hurt to eat one, Sanji is such a stingy guy!"

"Yes! Stingy Sanji!"

Usopp and Luffy, who were also attracted by the aroma of the egg tarts, made faces at Sanji.

Then the two of them immediately took Chopper's arms and ran towards the cabin excitedly.

Inside the reading room on the second floor of the deck.

Robin, who was sorting out the historical text, also took off his glasses that showed his intellectual temperament, then smiled and stuck his head out of the window.

"Thank you so much, Sanji~"

On the deck of the Merry, the Straw Hat Pirates' daily noises could soon be heard, relaxed and joyful.

It didn't look like he had just done something big that shocked the world.

however……

Just because the Straw Hat Pirates can act as usual doesn't mean the same can be said for others.

at the same time.

On the ship behind the Merry.

A group of pirates who had just learned that their captain had done something big had mouths so big that they could fit ten fingers on them.

Although they all believed that their captain was a man who could do great things, it all happened too suddenly, causing these pirates who had just completed the first half of the Grand Line to feel a cardiac arrest.

But now that things have come to this, they have no choice.

After all, they are a supernova crew, and their spirit is far beyond the reach of ordinary pirate groups.

Although they were all worried about the subsequent voyage, they were not frightened out of their wits.

What's more, their captain also said...

Because this event was so successful, the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates was willing to grant new powers to every pirate group in order to thank everyone for their support and help.

Judging from the deep smile on their own captain's face, this power should not be that simple.

No matter what, when the magnificent and mysterious island appeared before them, everyone could not help but have the same thought in their mind...

New world, they are coming!!!

……

……

"Wow~ Is this Fishman Island!?"

The front entrance of Fishman Island.

The Straw Hat Pirates, who had just finished their afternoon tea, stood in front of the huge valve, waiting in line to be reviewed by the Fishman Island guards inside.

This time, with the information given by Chihong in advance, and without encountering any special situations along the way, the Merry brought a group of supernova ships directly to the front of Fishman Island, preparing to enter the interior of Fishman Island through the regular route.

After all, the current Fishman Island is still under the command of the Whitebeard Pirates.

And they have a close relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Red had already contacted the Whitebeard Pirates in the name of Luffy...

Next, they will stay in Fishman Island for a long time to practice in preparation for new challenges.

By the way...

Red also wants to make a quick decision and complete "Pokémon Legends: Arceus" as quickly as possible to gain permission to open the next game world!

As for the next game world, he has already thought about it...

Choose the game that can gain the power of Dynamax——Pokémon: Sword/Shield!!!
