One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 543 The Army? Where is it?

"Sir! The Pokémon Sea is just ahead!"

"Only 50 nautical miles left before we enter the Straw Hat Pirates' territory!!!"

On the outskirts of the Pokémon Sea, a large fleet of 30,000 people from two kingdoms roams freely in this dangerous new world.

The fact that this fleet, of this size, could traverse the perilous New World to reach us is proof enough of its rich experience and formidable strength.

Yet this seasoned fleet seemed to have been struck by a slowing ray, suddenly slowing down on the outskirts of the Pokémon Sea and beginning to move forward at a snail's pace.

"Um."

The general nodded in response to the report, his eyes, as large as copper bells, fixed on the sea ahead, but he seemed not to notice the fleet's unusual speed and did not issue any new orders.

joke!

When gods fight, mortals suffer!

As a general of one country, and with the approval of the king of another allied country, he was granted the authority to command the armies of two kingdoms simultaneously. How could he be a fool who knew nothing?

Everyone knows that taking another step forward would be a provocation against the Straw Hat Pirates!

Even a behemoth as powerful as the World Government wouldn't dare to provoke them easily, so how could an ordinary member state of the World Government afford to offend them?

If they hadn't received orders from the Five Elders and had no other choice, and dared not gamble that the World Government would be defeated and withdraw, they wouldn't have bothered getting involved in this mess.

For a moment, the enormous fleet just ridiculously lingered around the edge of the Pokémon's lair, refusing to go in.

Sometimes, a gust of wind would cause the fleet to accelerate inexplicably, and they would deliberately make a turn to lengthen their course.

At this distance, they can immediately enter the Pokémon Sea as long as the World Government issues an order.

All you need to do is show your face and answer the attendance question to prove that you are not absent.

In fact, there are quite a few Kingdom warships that operate in this way.

But where there are smart people, there are also fools.

……

……

"Sir, the Pokémon Sea is just 50 nautical miles ahead!"

"Hahaha~ After traveling for so long, we've finally arrived!!!"

"You shameless pirates dare to provoke the World Government and the Celestial Dragons time and time again. Today, I'll show you what I'm made of..."

"What is the true power of a king?!"

"Everyone, listen up! All personnel, go on high alert! Full speed ahead! Enter the Pokémon Sea!!!"

Bang!

With a command from the nameless officer, more than a dozen large warships suddenly raised their sails and stormed into the Pokémon Sea!

Just as their warships crossed the boundary of the Pokémon Sea, some mischievous little creatures unexpectedly descended upon them.

"Your Excellency General, something seems amiss!"

As soon as they entered the Pokémon Sea, the adjutant, whose strength was comparable to that of a Navy vice admiral, immediately reacted.

As a powerful user of Observation Haki, although he did not discover the tiny nanobots hidden in the air, his intuition, which had helped him avoid countless dangers, made him realize that he was already in danger.

but……

Is it really that scary?!

They've only just entered the Pokémon Sea!

"Lossandra!!? What's wrong with you!?"

Just as the adjutant was wondering what was going on, a commotion suddenly broke out among the Kingdom soldiers stationed there.

The adjutant turned around in astonishment and immediately saw soldiers falling one after another from their once neatly arranged ranks.

Such a bizarre scene naturally terrified the soldiers around him!

"not good!!!"

The adjutant suddenly shouted!

"This sea area is poisonous!!! Everyone, put on your gas masks immediately!!!"

Having managed to cross the New World to get here, they naturally wouldn't underestimate the elusive New World and had made ample preparations well in advance.

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers immediately put on their prepared breathing apparatus.

Immediately, the number of people suddenly falling and losing consciousness in the crowd decreased significantly.

Before the adjutants could even breathe a sigh of relief, the usual cacophony of noise rose and fell once again.

One by one, the soldiers fell unconscious.

This scene instantly left the adjutant and the arrogant man who called himself the general speechless.

A moment later, it was the more powerful general who discovered the problem!

"Damn it! What knocked them out wasn't some kind of poison gas at all!"

Snapped! ! !

The general suddenly slapped his own arm hard, and in an instant, a large number of tiny black dots fell from his arm, only to be scattered in mid-air like ashes by the howling sea breeze.

"This is!?"

The adjutant's eyes widened.

As someone who was considered strong, he realized the problem and quickly started patting himself.

Instantly, a large area of ​​black dots spread out like black mist.

Only after focusing their attention did the general and his adjutant realize that what was clinging to their bodies was actually a tiny flying insect that was extremely difficult to see with the naked eye!

It was precisely because of the appearance of these small flying insects that their physical strength was rapidly depleted.

Those soldiers who fell to the ground were simply those whose physical abilities were not particularly outstanding and who were the first to give out.

"What do we do now!?"

The adjutant looked up anxiously and asked.

The general was also covered in cold sweat.

Although he was a general of a nation, he did not possess a precious power like Conqueror's Haki.

Faced with the dense swarm of tiny flying insects, he ultimately had only one choice...

thump!!!

The general, who was near the bow of the ship, dove straight down into the sea, splashing up a spray of water.

Immediately afterwards, a thin black mark suddenly floated out from where the general had fallen into the water.

puff!

The next instant, the general broke through the water again, revealing his head, and shouted loudly:

"Jump into the sea!!!"

"Everyone jump into the sea immediately! Use the seawater to block out foreign objects in the air!!!"

"They are not capable of surviving underwater!!!"

thump……

As the general in charge of the entire army, his orders were absolute.

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers near the ship's railing immediately jumped into the sea one after another, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

Some responsible soldiers would even pull up soldiers who had already fainted and jump into the sea with them.

After almost all the soldiers on the warships had jumped, the adjutant at the bow also made up his mind.

As a powerful individual, he wouldn't be deterred by tiny insects, but he gave them such a rude awakening as soon as he entered the Pokémon Sea.

This war was clearly not as easy as they had imagined.

The adjutant placed one foot on the ship's railing, but at that moment, something unexpected happened!

"Fishman Karate - Ocean Current Shoulder Throw!!!"

boom!!!

Directly in front of the warship, a massive wave appeared without warning not far from them, then surged toward them with terrifying power.

Wherever it passed, the sea roared and the waves surged.

The adjutant, with his sharp eyesight, even spotted a group of fishmen and mermaids wielding enormous nets atop the massive waves!

"What...what are they trying to do!?"

"Going out to sea to fish... wait! Going out to sea to fight people!?"

"But this isn't what they mean by 'going to sea,' is it!"

This was the last thought in the adjutant's mind before he was swallowed by the sea.

The towering waves crashed in, and even the largest naval warships were overturned in an instant, like a drifting boat, by the impact of these giant waves.

Many soldiers were swallowed up by the waves.

"That guy is their commander, arrest him first!!!"

Jinbe, standing atop Laboon's head, immediately spotted the two strongest figures in the crowd and then spoke to the fish-man army beside him.

"Understood, Boss Jinbe!!!"

Thousands of fishmen, led by the Sun Pirates, swarmed out.

The large waves on the sea surface do not seem to have much of an impact on them, as they are marine creatures, allowing them to move quickly and easily even in the chaos.

As the nets were lowered, the human soldiers trapped in the water and unable to move freely were immediately pulled up by the fishman army and then thrown forcefully in the direction of Laboon.

At this moment, Laboon had already opened its mouth wide, silently waiting for the murloc army to "feed" it.

Although war is ruthless, the kind-hearted Straw Hat Pirates are still willing to give these poor soldiers a chance to live.

Instead of killing the soldiers outright, they gathered them in Labu's abdominal world as prisoners.

Of course, if they don't behave, death will be their only fate.

As for the commanders and nobles above the soldiers?

Someone always has to pay the price for a wrong decision, right?

Whether they had no choice in the matter or not, since they chose to stand against the Straw Hat Pirates, it was as if they had already handed their lives over to the Straw Hat Pirates.

All Crimson and his companions could do was help them leave this world as quickly as possible and cleanse them of their sins.

More than half an hour later, tens of thousands of naval soldiers were all captured.

The two men, commander and adjutant, are now forever resting in this sea, returning to nature.

Jinbe looked around to make sure no one had escaped, then nodded to the Fishman Pirates beside him and said:

"Let's go, to the next location!!!"

……

……

at the same time.

Similar incidents have occurred in other parts of the Pokémon Ocean.

"Honestly, with this little strength, they dare to send troops to attack us?"

"Isn't that putting me, Usopp, on a bit too much of a show of respect?"

On a giant rhinoceros beetle, as big as an elephant, Usopp twitched his nose in boredom, watching the Butterfrees falling from the sky with hypnotic and paralyzing powder, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Although the technology of creating Pokémon using willpower is not yet mature, with Usopp's extensive investment and the cooperation of the research team, he has still managed to build an army of more than three thousand Bug-type Pokémon.

Just now, Usopp easily wiped out a fleet of more than 20,000 men with only a thousand Butterfly soldiers with an average level of around 30.

Of course, the Bug-type Pokémon army is terrifying, but this is already the result of Usopp holding back!

If he were to release all the combat insect swarms within his body at this moment, those 20,000 soldiers could be reduced to a pile of bones in an instant.

Even the Grand Admiral, who possessed Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities and whose strength was roughly equivalent to that of a pirate with a bounty of 3 million Berries, could not escape the fate of death.

Although……

They were destined to die anyway.

Kindness should be bold and unyielding, not foolish and dull.

Looking at the unconscious Grand Commander lying on the ground beneath him, a look of regret flashed in Usopp's eyes, but he still waved his hand without hesitation, directly summoning an insect with sword-like tentacles, which then pierced the Grand Commander's heart like lightning.

Usopp is not a murderer.

But he knew that this was the right thing to do.

……

……

"Cataclysmic Disaster: Dance of Thunder!!!"

Under the inexplicably dark sky, a massive bolt of lightning, seemingly about to tear the sky in two, suddenly appeared.

Boom!!!

With a deafening roar, the lightning gathered in the dark clouds suddenly split into fourteen thick bolts of lightning, which crashed down onto the sea below like giant pythons.

Under Nami's control, the fourteen invading warships didn't even have time to breathe in the sweet air of the Pokémon Sea before they were stimulated into unconsciousness by a wave of electrotherapy.

"Hmph~ You guys really got off easy!"

Looking at these guys who dared to invade the Pokémon Sea beneath her, Nami wasn't as kind-hearted as Usopp.

If Crimson hadn't said these guys could be kept and sent to the moon to work as laborers or mine, she would have really wanted to burn them all to a crisp with a bolt of lightning.

In Nami's opinion, these guys weren't here to invade, they were here to rob!

Look at the location they chose; just a little further ahead lies Warehouse Island, filled with valuable resources.

If these soldiers were to land on the island and wreak havoc and loot it, Nami would truly wish she were dead!

That's all money, endless money!!!

……

……

"Endless Mode - Full Power - Gale Cannon!!!"

Boom boom boom boom...

A giant Gundam, which was flying freely in the air powered by flames, suddenly adopted an extremely shameful posture, with a huge cannon protruding from the middle of its rear end.

Suddenly, a terrifying storm swept in, capsizing twenty warships that were just about to invade the Pokémon Sea.

……

……

"Kaleidoscope Eyes: Hypnosis!!!"

rustling sounds...

A massive tree composed of pink arms suddenly appeared on top of a warship in the very center of the fleet.

Suddenly, branches emerging from the eerie trees sprouted countless pink eyes, gazing down upon all the intruders from every angle.

With a burst of energy light, all the soldiers who looked in this direction and saw those beautiful eyes instantly straightened their legs and fell asleep.

Sleep quality is excellent.

"Witch...witch!!!"

Just then, a soft curse suddenly came from behind, drawing Robin's attention.

A burly man, staggering and wielding a heavy sword, struggled to his feet and glared menacingly in Robin's direction.

It goes without saying that this guy is the supreme commander of this fleet.

It's unclear whether his angry outburst angered Robin, or whether Robin simply didn't want to waste her breath.

Seeing the burly man appear without him having to search for him, Robin smiled and summoned two fair arms from the man's body with a wave of his hand, then hugged the man's head from above and below.

I hope you have sweet dreams.

"Flower Burial - Thousand Necks - Cracked!"

Click!

With a crisp snap, the world fell silent once more.
