One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 544 The Heavenly King Descends

With the intervention of powerful Straw Hat Pirates members like Nami, the Kingdom's army, which had entered the Pokémon Sea, suffered heavy losses almost instantly.

Millions of people were imprisoned in various ways on nearby islands, intended as advance troops for future lunar exploration.

Of course, it would be quite difficult for the Straw Hat Pirates, with only a handful of members, to simultaneously defeat the armies of dozens of kingdoms in such a short period of time.

Therefore, to prevent any from slipping through the net, Red specifically recalled most of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet's strongest members back to the Pokémon Sea.

Returning with them were the giant warriors from Elbaf.

When Luffy and his crew entered the Celestial Realm last time to investigate the Road Poneglyphs, Red had already used those few days of downtime to load the vast majority of the giant warriors who were willing to officially join the Straw Hat Pirates with Pokémon templates.

Perhaps due to the purity of the giant race, the vast majority of giants have standard attributes of general and melee, with only a few giants having other attributes.

Furthermore, there are many amplification moves in both general and fighting styles.

It would obviously not be very effective to expect the giants to become proficient in using Pokémon moves in battle within just a few days.

However, if they are asked to use various amplification techniques to become stronger, there are no barriers to it.

After gaining the boost from various powerful Pokémon moves, even the weakest Giant Warrior is comparable to a billion-dollar pirate.

As for the more powerful ones, their strength is immeasurable.

Furthermore, none of these giants are Devil Fruit users, so they can fight normally even when they enter the ocean.

With the help of these Elbaf warriors, almost none of the kingdom's forces that invaded the Pokémon Seas escaped unscathed.

……

……

"There really are no shortage of idiots anywhere!"

Upon hearing Usopp and the others report the number of people captured, Red, aboard the Going Merry at headquarters, smiled in surprise.

He never expected that... in this era when the Straw Hat Pirates are at their peak, and the outside world is saying that the Straw Hat Pirates will overthrow the World Government, there would still be so many idiots who would recklessly send troops to attack the Pokémon Sea.

Are they really not afraid of the Straw Hat Pirates' future retribution?

"But this way, we won't have to worry about the lunar population problem anymore."

Soon, a satisfied smile returned to his flushed face.

But then his gaze turned to the distant horizon.

He could sense that something was approaching from the distant sky.

"Is it a space device controlled by the World Government!?" Red muttered to himself.

Although in the historical text, Joy Boy said that he had sent the King of the Underworld into the void, a place where ordinary people could not find him.

But in eight hundred years, whether Im found the King in the starry sky or created a brand new "King" based on his impression of the King, it was not a difficult task.

It's unclear what Im used to manipulate Uranus without the Mother Flame provided by Vegapunk.

"Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, get ready..."

"The enemy is coming soon!!!"

"oh!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy and his two companions, who were already poised for battle, suddenly brightened up and stood up, exuding a strong fighting spirit.

They had waited for this moment for far too long... far too long!

……

……

"Lord Im, things don't seem to be looking good."

"It seems that all the royal alliance forces have lost contact after entering the Pokémon Sea."

Above the sky, on a starship as large as an island.

Im, whose body was covered in various delivery tubes, slowly raised his head and looked down at the four Elders who were trembling as they gave their reports.

He clenched his fist tightly, crushing the armrest of the throne into a pile of fragments.

"A bunch of useless trash!!!"

Im cursed loudly.

He never expected that an army of millions would not even make a ripple in the Pokémon Sea.

Although ordinary soldiers are no different from ants in the face of absolute power, even killing them would still take some time, right?

How could they have been completely wiped out in such a short time?!

At this moment, even Im, who had witnessed true power eight hundred years ago, felt a slight worry about the power wielded by the Straw Hat Pirates.

How much of the power of will remains in the solar crystals they obtained?

How could a mere eight hundred years of accumulation possibly make a group of pirates this powerful?

Im was completely baffled.

"How is the World Government's fleet doing?"

Im, who was beginning to doubt his ability to win, became even more somber, and subconsciously changed the subject:

"How's the World Government's fleet doing?"

"Reporting to Lord Im, everything is normal!!!"

Hearing that Im did not blame them, the Five Elders breathed a sigh of relief and immediately reported to their leader.

"Um."

Im responded in a deep voice.

No matter how many soldiers the King's army had, it was ultimately just a small-scale skirmish.

The world government's true reliance is still its own military.

The Straw Hat Pirates' previous massacres caused the complete collapse of CP0-9's intelligence network.

However, thanks to the World Government's resources, they managed to unite all external CP organization members and recent recruits in a short period of time, ultimately assembling an N·CP Legion of 3 people, in addition to the Navy's hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers...

If all goes well, it could be enough to deal a heavy blow to the Straw Hat Pirates.

pity……

What Im and his crew didn't know was that almost everyone in the Navy was now a member of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Revolutionary Army.

Those naval officers who were originally loyal to the World Government had long been dispatched by Aokiji to guard naval bases around the world.

These guys are extremely loyal to the world government that pays them, but that doesn't mean they're bad at heart.

The World Government is indeed no good, but pirates who commit arson, murder, looting, and all sorts of evil deeds are no better.

Over the years, countless civilians have been protected by these naval officers.

Even Aokiji, who had already made up his mind, couldn't bear to kill them directly, so he could only drive them away from the battlefield in this way.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the navy's warships have now firmly surrounded the World Government's 3 N·CP warships.

With a single command, all World Government forces will vanish completely from this vast ocean.

The Five Elders, having completed their report, slowly withdrew. Relieved that they had not been punished, they no longer thought about such matters and were naturally unaware of the Navy's actions.

What they were equally unaware of was the current state of Mary Geoise.

……

……

"Has the signal jamming device been installed?!"

"It's installed. After testing, it's confirmed that no signal can be transmitted outside the entire Mary Geoise."

"Alright! Luffy and his crew are doing so well, we can't let them down!"

"Everyone, remain calm and lie low, awaiting orders."

"Understood, Chief of Staff Saab!"

Red Line, on the outskirts of Mary Geoise.

A group of revolutionary soldiers hid in pits created by Mori, the commander of the Western Army, using his Devil Fruit powers, waiting for their chance.

Just then, a beam of light suddenly appeared, illuminating the dim underground cavern.

"Saab, haven't the signal jammers already been deployed?"

"What are we waiting for? Let's just go up there in one go and wipe out all the Celestial Dragons inside!"

A man wearing an orange sun hat and with his upper body bare emerged from behind the firelight.

On his back was a clearly visible tattoo of the Whitebeard Pirates' iconic symbol.

The person who arrived was none other than Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, who had participated in the plan to overthrow the World Government at Sabo's invitation!

Although Ace had asked Sabo if he wanted the Whitebeard Pirates to help with the operation when he received the invitation.

After all, the World Government had sabotaged the Whitebeard Pirates in the last incident, killing many of their comrades.

The Whitebeard Pirates had long wanted to find an opportunity to get revenge.

Ultimately, Sabo did not involve the entire Whitebeard Pirates in this operation.

Because this is not a simple operation.

If all goes well, the world may look completely different after today.

Red has explicitly communicated with the Revolutionary Army on behalf of the Straw Hat Pirates...

They don't want the right to rule the world, but they do need a strong support base that can provide unconditional assistance to the Straw Hat Pirates.

So in the end, they made a decision with the revolutionary army.

The Straw Hat Pirates defeat the World Government's powerful figures, and then acknowledge the Revolutionary Army's takeover and legitimate rule over the World Government.

What the revolutionary army needs to do is...

When the Straw Hat Pirates, who have already entered space, need any help, the new government formed by the Revolutionary Army must immediately provide them with all necessary support through its extraterrestrial base.

Thanks to the relationship between the Straw Hat Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, some terms and conditions were quickly signed.

that's it

A deal involving the world was set in motion during a casual meeting between a few people.

If they can win this victory, the world's political power will be in the hands of the Straw Hats and the Revolutionary Army.

If the Whitebeard Pirates insist on interfering at this point, even if Whitebeard himself doesn't have any ulterior motives later on, his subordinates and adopted sons will inevitably do something unnecessary.

That's precisely to avoid such a situation from happening, so the Whitebeard Pirates absolutely cannot be involved in today's events.

However, as one of the few non-Straw Hat crews in the world with some strength, it wouldn't be right to deny the Whitebeard Pirates any official recognition.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to have Ace, who is a brother of Luffy and Sabo, participate in this event.

Once the Revolutionary Army truly seizes power, they can use this opportunity to promote Ace, and then use Ace to appease the Whitebeard Pirates behind him.

Although they haven't officially become the rulers of this world yet, both the Straw Hat Pirates and the Revolutionary Army have already drawn up their own pieces on this pie long ago.

All that's left is the final blow!

……

……

"They're here!!!"

Within the Pokémon Ocean, which has garnered much attention.

On a huge sheet of ice, Crimson suddenly raised its head and looked at the sky not far away.

Luffy and the others, who were aware of this, also looked up.

The thick sea of ​​clouds suddenly spun, forming a chaotic vortex.

In an instant, a jet-black blade suddenly pierced down from above the clouds, tearing apart the swirling sea of ​​clouds and the entire sky!

The mysterious, dark object streaked across the sky without stopping, continuing its rapid descent.

With a piercing buzzing sound, it suddenly emerged from the sky like a colossal creature, and upon spotting Crimson and the others, it instantly found its target and direction.

A powerful wake erupted once more, supporting the dark interstellar warship as it slowly descended from the sky.

Thump!

The sudden appearance of the enormous object compressed the sea surface into a smooth concave shape, which continued to extend downwards into the sea.

"This thing... doesn't seem like something made by the moon people?"

Looking at the interstellar warship before him, a hint of surprise flashed in his crimson eyes.

He originally thought that the so-called Heavenly King was just an interstellar mobile attack created by the Moon People using the power of solar crystals.

But now that he has seen the appearance of the Heavenly King with his own eyes, Crimson simply cannot believe that it was created by the ancient Moon People.

It's simply because its style is so similar to the futuristic science fiction world that I've always imagined!

The future here does not refer to the "future" created by Vegapunk through advanced technology.

Instead, it is a combination of various interstellar warships that have appeared in various film and television works in the crimson memory!

Its exterior is made of an unknown alloy that is entirely black and shiny. The entire ship has sharp edges and two huge wings. The hidden propulsion system makes the warship seem to be a single piece.

However, upon closer inspection, one will find that the smooth metal surface is not actually smooth, but rather composed of countless tiny and subtle mysterious particles.

Just by looking at its crimson exterior, you can tell that this single starship is more than capable of meeting all kinds of interstellar travel needs.

"If we could seize it and have Vegapunk modify the Merry using its technology, we'd never have to worry about any unexpected events during interstellar travel again!"

With a flash of crimson light, he had already designated the enormous warship before him as a prize for the Straw Hat Pirates.

The next moment, a passage suddenly appeared above the huge starship, and a platform lifted Im and the Five Elders as they slowly emerged from the Straw Hat's warship.

"You all..."

When Im made his first public appearance, he exuded an aura that was different from Conqueror's Haki, and was more sinister and terrifying.

But just as he opened his mouth, Crimson suddenly pressed the Pokémon bracelet on his wrist.

In an instant, the power of MEGA evolution and the power of Dynamax acted on Luffy.

Crimson waved his hand dismissively:

"Luffy! Beat him up!!!"
