One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 550 United Government

"Gum-Gum Triple Attack - White Gatling Gun!!!"

Boom boom boom boom...

Terrifyingly powerful fists, capable of causing cosmic storms, rained down on Im's enormous demonic body. Each fist was also randomly imbued with one of three different elements: lightning, flames, or ice.

In an instant, Im's massive body was like a piece of fish on a chopping board, allowing heavy punches to pound him relentlessly.

His body trembled incessantly under the ferocious attacks—the scorching flames, the cracking ice, and the destructive force of lightning…

Each blow caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"The battle is over."

Standing at a distance, Crimson, who controlled the space, watched the scene before him and couldn't help but sigh with a strange emotion.

After countless years, Im and his ancestors, who had sought to control the world, had their ambitions utterly shattered by Luffy's all-out attack.

Having left Earth, Im lost its supply of natural energy and completely lost any chance of winning.

With a series of thunderous crashes, Im's life gradually faded until finally...

With his body brimming with the energy of various Pokémon, he soared into the depths of space like a shooting star.

Before he could fly very far, a dark spatial wormhole suddenly blocked his path, sending his weakened body back to Luffy and Akame.

"The Straw Hat Pirates..."

Im hovered in the void, raising his blood-red head, his crimson eyes fixed on Luffy and Akame, as if trying to etch their images into his mind forever.

That's what he thought, and... that's exactly what he did!

bake!!!

A holy fire suddenly appeared from Im's body, and quickly burned and spread, soon completely enveloping Im's body!

"ah!!!"

A terrible wail came from Im's mouth. Under the scorching of the holy flames, Im's body emitted plumes of black smoke, like a demon shrouded in holy water.

Amidst the twisted pain, Im's body slowly transformed from demon form back into human form, but the black smoke rising from his body did not decrease due to the shrinking size; instead, it became even thicker.

As the sacred flames consumed him, his body gradually turned to ashes. With his last breath, he glared at Luffy and Akame with malevolent eyes and roared:

"Joey Boy!!! Lily!!! You won't win!!!"

"You will never win!!!"

"The power of darkness resides in people's hearts. Sooner or later, I will return, just like you, to wreak havoc on this world once more!!!"

"Just you wait!!! Hahahaha..."

"What are you babbling about?!"

bake!!!

Crimson snapped his fingers impatiently, and the burning flames instantly became even more intense, making Im's screams even louder.

The signature move from the mythical beast Ho-Oh, Sacred Fire, seems to have a very strong restraining effect on Im, far surpassing the effectiveness of Luffy's punches and kicks.

Of course, this is also because Luffy's punches and kicks had just consumed a large amount of natural energy in Im's body. Otherwise, with Red's current strength without the Divine Beast template, it would have been impossible for him to cause such severe damage to Im.

Finally, under Im's resentful and unwilling gaze, his body slowly disappeared before Luffy and Red.

"it's all over."

Crimson sighed with emotion once again.

For some reason, overthrowing the World Government's rule was something they had long anticipated, but seeing Im disappear into the void like this, his heart was completely unmoved.

Is this how his dream of being a pirate came to an end?

Red didn't know how he should feel at that moment, but when he turned his head and looked into Luffy's bright, shining eyes, the sigh in his heart instantly disappeared.

"Hey, Red! We've defeated the World Government!!! Are we going on a space adventure now!?"

"That's right~"

Red smiled and nodded, then looked at the blue star beneath his and Luffy's feet.

Thin white clouds, like gentle veils, draped the surface of the planet. Sunlight shone through, refracting into a magnificent rainbow, rendering the entire planet like a dream.

"Next up is the adventure in the starry sky!" Crimson smiled slightly.

A moment later, a beam of rainbow light suddenly broke through the atmosphere and descended into the sky above the Pokémon Sea.

"Luffy, Crimson Red!!!"

Upon seeing the two arrive, the Straw Hat crew greeted them warmly.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were welcoming some important person.

Although... they are indeed big shots now.

Hello~

Knowing that his companions were joking with him, Crimson waved his hand casually, but his gaze quickly swept over the starship below.

The warship known as the "Heavenly King" was now bustling with people.

Besides the Crimson Crimson crew and the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, there are also various Marine arrivals, the Fish-Man Kingdom's army, and the Giants who came from Elbaf to help.

The enormous starship felt somewhat crowded at this moment.

However, the Five Elders were nowhere to be seen amidst the crowd.

Clearly, before Luffy could defeat Im, Zoro had already joined forces with various powerful figures to slay the Five Elders with his long sword.

At this moment, apart from the Straw Hat Pirates and a few others, everyone else on the starship was looking at Luffy and Akame in the sky with expectant eyes.

Im did not return, and the outcome of this battle was already obvious.

Many people who don't know much about the Straw Hat Pirates are now starting to imagine what it would be like for them to dominate the world.

And these guys, at the very least, deserve credit for joining the dragon!

Unfortunately, the "founding of the nation" speech they were looking forward to did not appear.

As the Straw Hat Pirates' spokesperson, Red looked down at the crowd with a slight smile on his lips:

"Thank you all for your hard work~"

"Now that the greatest enemy on this planet has been completely eliminated, what's next..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Crimson suddenly spread his arms wide and shouted as if possessed by Luffy:

"The banquet is starting!!!!!!!!!"

The deep, resonant sound, like the sound of bells and drums, echoed throughout the entire sea area with the wind.

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat Pirates couldn't hide their smiles.

Many people who already knew about the Straw Hat Pirates smiled knowingly.

Although many people were still in a daze, they couldn't help but be infected by the cheers all around them and joined in the cheering.

A joyful atmosphere permeated the entire Pokémon Sea.

……

……

This banquet lasted for a whole month!

Over the course of the month, forces from outside the seas that were on good terms with the Straw Hat Pirates continued to arrive, extending the banquet's life for a while longer.

During the banquet, news of the collapse of the World Government spread to every corner of the world.

The difference from the actual situation is...

According to reports from various media outlets, the downfall of the World Government was the result of the joint efforts of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Revolutionary Army.

Although it's obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that the revolutionary army probably played less than one percent of the role in this.

However, many ordinary people who were unaware of the truth began to sing praises of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Revolutionary Army.

Of course, most of the praise fell on the revolutionary army.

After all, compared to a pirate crew, the Revolutionary Army, which travels everywhere for the sake of the people, is obviously more worthy of being praised.

And this is what Red and the Straw Hat crew wanted to see.

Fame and fortune are not what I desire.

Reputation is no longer something the Straw Hat Pirates need to specifically pursue.

On the contrary, it would be more meaningful for the Straw Hat Pirates to establish a new government that could legitimately replace the World Government if the Revolutionary Army wanted to do so.

A little bit of fame is nothing more than a tool for them to achieve their goals.

The banquet lasted for a full thirty days, and the world was stunned for thirty days.

Even though everyone was prepared, the people of the world were still taken aback by this sudden change of dynasty.

Fortunately, a month later, the sunrise was still the same sunrise, and the sunset was still the same sunset.

Thanks to the revolutionary army's thorough preparations, the change of regime did not have a significant impact on the common people.

Because the battle belonging to the revolutionary army has only just begun from this moment.

Their next task is to establish a provisional government based on the foundation of the world government, and then use the prestige of the provisional government to challenge the unreasonable feudal system in the world.

As for those royal nobles who refused to obey the arrangements of the provisional government and refused to accept the reforms of the new government.

Feel sorry!

Although the Revolutionary Army can't defeat Im and the Five Elders, defeating a small feudal country like yours is no problem at all!

……

……

"Then... the new government will be tentatively named the United Government. Each country and power will send an ambassador to the United Government to discuss all matters together."

"Besides that, Crimson, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

After reading the document in his hand, the newly appointed UN Secretary-General Sabo suddenly looked up at the other end of the conference table... Red, representing the Straw Hat Pirates at this new joint meeting!

"I have no objection."

The crimson-haired one who was called out smiled slightly.

He had already held a multi-party meeting with Dragon, Sabo, Aokiji, Issho, and others before the meeting even began, regarding his ideas about the Revolutionary Army.

Although he wasn't a political enthusiast in his previous life, he spent a lot of time online and was able to come up with some ideas that caught the attention of Long and the others.

It's not that Red has some unique political insight, it's just that the political methods in the One Piece world are... way too low-level!

In terms of politics alone, any professional in the relevant field on Earth could probably outmaneuver Long and his gang.

But what can you do when this is a world where strength reigns supreme?

Often, what determines the course of events is not political factors, but simply the size of one's fist.

"Alright!" Sabo nodded upon receiving Crimson's reply and was about to declare the meeting over.

But just then, Crimson suddenly raised her hand: "Wait a minute!!!"

"I have nothing to say about the coalition government's policy."

"However, there is actually something more important that I want to tell you all today."

"Um!?"

Upon hearing Crimson's words, the assembled high-ranking revolutionaries, heads of state who had joined the coalition government earlier, and former high-ranking naval officers immediately focused their attention on Crimson.

People may not know the inside story of regime change, but they understand it very well...

The Revolutionary Army was able to replace the World Government simply because the Straw Hat Pirates did it with a single word.

All I can say is that the dragon has a good son!

While others rely on their fathers, the dragon directly gained the right to rule the world through his son.

"Everyone, you all know that the world will be swallowed by the ocean in the future, right?"

Chi Hong looked up and glanced at the crowd, immediately noticing a sea of ​​faces with furrowed brows.

Red had already informed the world about the final curse the Lunaria cast upon the world when he published the Poneglyphs.

Therefore, the fact that the world will one day be swallowed by the sea is no longer a secret.

However, the historical records contain too much information, and the ocean has not undergone any strange changes in recent decades, so apart from special areas such as Water Seven, where cities are swallowed by tsunamis once a year, no one really remembers this.

Now that they heard Crimson bring up the matter again, everyone immediately perked up their ears.

Crimson is also straightforward:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you that the matter is not as simple as people have made it out to be."

"According to Dr. Vegapunk's predictions, perhaps in less than 300 years, there will be no land left in the world except for the Red Line and some Sky Islands."

"300 years? That may be a long time for all of you here, but for your country, your power, and the newly formed united government..."

"Isn't this already a pressing issue?"

"this……"

As expected, upon hearing Chi Hong's words, everyone immediately frowned, their eyes showing worry.

Whether or not they could empathize with Crimson's words, the idea of ​​a world that would be destroyed in three hundred years was not something they could accept, especially for those who had just been making grand plans for the new world.

"Crimson..." Sabo opened his mouth, about to say something.

But Crimson waved his hand, silencing him, and then smiled slightly:

"Of course, now that we have identified the problem, we will naturally find a way to solve it."

"What I want to tell you all is that... in a few days, the Straw Hat Pirates will be launching several sea-clearing projects, but at that time, we may need the support of some countries and regions. We hope that everyone here can provide some assistance then."

"Definitely! Definitely!"

"That's only right!"

"With the Straw Hat Pirates around, we feel much more at ease!!!"

The representatives of the kingdoms nodded repeatedly, without the slightest thought of resistance.

The Straw Hat Pirates' strength is one aspect, but the key point is that no one wants their country to be completely destroyed in a few hundred years!

"very good!"

Seeing everyone's attitude, Chi Hong smiled with satisfaction and tapped the table lightly with his finger.

"Then, the Straw Hat Pirates will be traveling to several countries, so please give them your support."

"Furthermore, the launch of these plans may not necessarily be a bad thing for everyone."

"The drop in sea level will inevitably expose more land above the water, and your country's land area might even increase significantly!"

"We'll discuss the specifics once we get there."

"Sabo, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now!!!"

Swoosh!

Before Sabo could answer, the crimson figure vanished in an instant.

Only a swivel chair remained, still spinning, and the slowly bouncing buttock marks on it seemed to prove that someone had just been here...
