Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 307 Fish-Man Island, training season! (Please give me a monthly ticket~)

As orders were issued, almost all the naval warships docked at the port of New Marineland moved towards the waters at the entrance to the new world.

In a sea area like the New World where the weather is very different and no one knows what accidents will happen in the next second, such formations are tantamount to putting the lives of naval soldiers on the edge of the knife.

But even if he received such unfair instructions from the World Government, Akainu, who had just become a navy marshal, could only obey the orders obediently without any room for resistance.

The new world, which had been silent for a long time, is boiling again.

…

…

Shortly after.

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

Smoker, who was wearing a commodore's coat, held three cigars in his mouth. The turbid smoke continued to sweep around the ship like flowing water, condensing around the ship's hull, accompanying the turbulent sea water to maintain 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 glasses stepped forward.

Dasqi, who was promoted to the rank of major with Smoker, was holding a detailed report about the operation, with an incredible look on his face.

"What's the matter, Dusky?"

Smoker, who also had a complicated expression, turned his head and glanced at her lightly.

Dasqi pursed her lips slightly and raised the document in her hand as she didn't know how to speak. After taking a deep breath, she slowly said:

"Brigadier General Smoker, our department has retrieved all the identities of the criminals involved in the attack on Holy Land Mariejoia..."

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

Because the incident happened suddenly, Smoker, who was just a rookie brigadier general, did not obtain detailed information about the attack before setting sail.

He subconsciously thought that the mastermind this time was the Revolutionary Army group.

After all, they are the only ones in this world who talk about sayings such as "all men are created equal" and "liberating slaves" every day.

However, upon hearing Smoker's guess, a strange look flashed through Dasqi's eyes again.

"It's not a revolutionary army, but..."

"Forget it, it's up to you, Brigadier Smoker, to see for yourself."

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

"Huh?" Smoker glanced at her curiously, and then took a bunch of thick documents.

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

Smoker is no stranger to these faces on the list.

Because they are the newcomer pirates who have become famous in the first half of the Grand Line in recent times.

However, the next second, when some familiar faces came into Smog's eyes, the old smoker's expression instantly became abnormal.

Swish--

Smoker quickly flipped through the documents in his hand, and when he read each page, his pupils, which were originally full of majesty, were completely wide open.

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

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

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

She subconsciously placed her hands on Yukizai around her waist, and her mind couldn't help but recall the man who gave Yukizai to her in Rogge Town and then easily defeated her.

She spoke softly: "I was shocked when I saw it just now, but the document stated that this information came from the Five Old Stars, the controller of the world government, so..."

"There should be no mistake."

"Five old stars..."

Hiss~

Smoker's heart dropped, and he felt that the documents in his hand became heavier for some reason.

"Have they all grown to this height without realizing it?!" He sighed silently.

Turning his eyes, he happened to meet Dasqi.

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

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

"Ah, this..." Dasqi's tone hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyebrows slightly and asked tentatively:

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

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

"Friends!?" Smoker raised his eyebrows and subconsciously said harshly: "I don't have friends who are pirates."

But immediately a flash of thought flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly:

"However, based on my understanding of the Straw Hats, they may not have any special ideas in taking away the slaves..."

"Maybe I just dislike the Celestial Dragons and want to rescue the slaves!"

After all, it's not like they haven't done the same thing before.

"That's it." There were no outsiders around, and when Dasqi heard this, he also showed a matter-of-fact attitude, "It's quite similar to their style of doing things."

Because incidents involving the Celestial Dragons have occurred frequently in recent times, the Celestial Dragons, who originally did not have much presence in the navy, are often talked about by the navy recently.

As time went by, and after hearing more, Dasqi also learned some of the habits of the Celestial Dragons.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that as a soldier, it is your duty to carry out 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, who is the top officer of the battleship, nor Dasqi, who is his deputy, has any intention of catching criminals.

"Okay, don't think so much!"

At this moment, Smoker suddenly threw the document in his hand back to Dasqi again, and then looked at the turbulent sea in the distance.

"Thinking too much is of no use to us who are weak."

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

"Speaking of which, how are you doing with your Armed Color Haki training?"

"Um...this..."

Dasqi's expression froze and she turned away awkwardly.

"That's right! The waters of the New World are so chaotic. I have to go to the cabin to see if there are any problems with the battleship's route!"

She stretched out her fingers suddenly, and then ran directly towards the cabin.

It's not that she is taboo about practicing and improving her strength.

It's just that since Smoker disappeared and returned to the navy, he has gone crazy, training non-stop every day, and has become a training maniac.

Relying on the resources and intelligence of the Navy, in just a few months, Smoker not only mastered the two-color Haki, but even the Sixth Form of the Navy had begun to take shape.

Coupled with the power Smoker had gained from the Straw Hats that he had told Duski in private...

His current strength is enough to crush some pirates whose bounties are around 100 million, and he has the full combat power of a vice admiral.

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

After becoming stronger, Smoker's requirements for the navy under Dusqi and other subordinates also directly increased.

Therefore, Dasqi and others were directly killed. Even if they increased the training volume to five times the previous amount, they still could not make Smog satisfied.

Over time, Smoker has become a cultivator in the eyes of Dasqi and others.

As long as he talks about cultivation matters, the navy under his command will reflexively change their colors.

"Running away again..."

Looking at Dusqi's leaving figure, Smoker suddenly frowned and muttered softly.

"Really, how can there be a navy like this every day... No wonder this sea is getting more and more chaotic."

Having seen the training methods of the Straw Hats, he would not feel that his request was too much.

Not to mention five times the amount of daily practice...

He himself has increased his daily training to 20 times what it was before, and he is not even seen by the guys from the Straw Hat Pirates.

Thinking of this, Smoker once again looked at the reward order that Dusqi dropped on the ground.

Above it was a picture of Luffy's laughing mouth.

Looking at the familiar face, the corners of Smoker's mouth slightly raised involuntarily, and he looked in the direction of the Red Earth Continent.

"It's been so long, you bastards."

…

…

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

Beneath the Red Earth Continent, located more than 9,000 meters deep under the sea floor beneath the Holy Land Marigioa...

A fleet of pirate ships sometimes lined up in a human shape, sometimes in a single line, swimming freely in the depths of the seabed.

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

"Be careful. If you pierce the coating, it won't be as simple as killing a whole crew of us!"

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

"Don't worry, Nami."

"The coating won't break off that easily."

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

Franky, who had already mastered the coating technology, came over laughing and explained to Nami and others.

"But then again..."

Franky changed his voice, suddenly looked at Usopp beside him, and then said thoughtfully:

"We suddenly brought so many people to Fish-Man Island, is it really going to be okay?!"

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

"Do not worry."

"We have a reason that Fishman Island can't refuse!"

At this time, Chi Hong walked over and said with a smile:

"And among the rescued slaves, there are many fish and mermaids..."

"We appear as benefactors."

"Extorting favors in return? Although it's a little unethical, but we are also pirates anyway, so it doesn't matter."

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

According to their original plan...

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

And when they return to the sea again, it is the moment when they point their swords at the peak and attack with all their strength towards the highest position!

"The greatest swordsman in the world!?"

Zoro, who finally awakened to the steel attribute and got on the right track, gently licked his lips and showed an excited smile.

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

Just then, Sanji's floating voice suddenly came from Meili's cabin.

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

"Egg tarts!?"

After hearing that there was food, Luffy's nose instantly stood up, as if he was attracted by the aroma, and sniffed all the way over, but was slapped away by Sanji again!

"This is the love egg tart I made specifically for Nami-san and Robin-san. Yours is in the kitchen, go get it yourself!"

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

"Yes! Stingy Sanji!"

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

Then the two immediately lifted Chopper's arm and ran to the cabin excitedly.

In the reading room on the second floor of the deck

Robin, who was sorting out the historical text, also took off her glasses that were full of intellectual temperament, and then smiled and leaned out of the window.

"Thank you so much, Sanji~"

The deck of the Merry soon rang with the daily noise of the Straw Hat Pirates, relaxed and happy.

It didn't seem like they had just done something that could shock the world.

However...

The Straw Hat Pirates were able to be relaxed as usual, but it didn't mean that others were the same.

At the same time.

On the ship behind the Merry.

A group of pirates who had just learned that their captain had done a big thing had mouths that could hold ten fingers.

Although they all believed that their captain was a man who could do big things, it all came too suddenly, and they still felt a cardiac arrest for the pirates who had just passed the first half of the Grand Line.

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

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

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

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

Because this event was very successful, the vice captain of the Straw Hat Pirates was willing to give each pirate group new power in order to thank everyone for their support and help.

Looking at the deep smile on their captain's face, this power should not be that simple.

In any case, when the magnificent and mysterious island appeared in front of them, everyone couldn't help but think of the same idea...

New World, they are here! ! !

...

"Wow~ Is this Fishman Island!?"

The front entrance of Fishman Island.

The Straw Hat Pirates, who had just finished afternoon tea, stood in front of the huge valve, waiting in line for the review of the Fishman Island guards inside.

This time, with the information given by Red 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, ready to enter the interior of Fishman Island in the right way.

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 has already made a call to the Whitebeard Pirates in the name of Luffy...

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

By the way...

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

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

He will choose "Pokémon: Sword/Shield" that can obtain the power of Dynamax!!!
