One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 86 The Beginning (Please continue reading~)

"Step back?!"

A gentle breeze stirred up the dust on the ground, forming a miniature tornado that sped away into the distance.

Tashigi stood up from the ground, looking somewhat disheveled, and stared intently at Barto across from her.

"Bartolomeo! Are you planning to oppose the Navy and protect pirates!?"

As a notorious gang leader in Loguetown, Bartolomeo's identity was naturally no secret to Tashigi.

However, in the world of One Piece, gangs, like business guilds and clubs, are legal entities and are not under the jurisdiction of the Navy.

So unless Barto extends his reach into Loguetown, they will continue to keep to themselves.

Today, Barto's hand clearly crossed the line.

"I didn't want to either, beautiful police officer."

When confronted by Tashigi's questioning, Barto immediately revealed a sly, mischievous grin.

It's almost as if he's saying, "I love seeing you angry but unable to do anything about it."

He grinned, and sharp fangs emerged.

"Because I have a deal to make with this pirate!"

"Please, could you do me the honor..."

"Once my deal with her is over, you can arrest her however you want; I won't interfere!"

"but……"

Barto's grin widened, his gaze fixed directly into Tashigi's eyes, as he spoke with unbridled arrogance:

"No one can take Alvida away until the deal is finalized!!!"

"I said it! No one can change my mind!!!"

Swish!

As soon as Barto finished speaking, a transparent barrier appeared, completely separating Barto and his men from the Navy, and rapidly advancing towards the Navy!

"not good!"

Tashigi let out a shout and slashed her long sword, Shigure, at the barrier with a clang, but was still pushed back by the barrier.

at the same time.

"A fight broke out?!"

A figure suddenly flew out from a tent in the distance.

The striking red nose was partially hidden by the cloak.

It was none other than Bucky the Clown, who had come out to check the situation after hearing his subordinates' report.

Once high in the sky, his gaze immediately focused on Bartolomeo in the distance.

When he saw that Barto alone had forced a squad of marines to retreat repeatedly, a look of surprise flashed across Bucky's eyes.

"There really is such a powerful figure in the East Sea?!"

"As expected of Lord Crimson, a master strategist who can win battles from afar!"

"Even though we've only just set sail, we've already seen such a distant future!"

Bucky was flattering him from the void.

But just then, the battle in the distance suddenly stopped.

The opposing navy seemed to have realized that they were no match for Barto, and took the initiative to sound the retreat and withdraw first.

Bucky was speechless with astonishment.

"They just left like that!?"

"The navy in Loguetown is really terrible!"

"With such a lack of awareness, you dare to talk about upholding justice? It's laughable!"

Bucky scoffed dismissively, but only dared to fly forward after the navy had all left.

at the same time.

Barto, who had rescued Alvida, suddenly surrounded the fat, ugly woman with a group of non-mainstream people.

"What...what are you going to do!?"

Seeing the group of delinquents surrounding her, Alvida suddenly panicked and crossed her arms in a defensive stance.

This scene actually caused a physiological reaction in those who had eaten or seen such harmful substances before...

Of course, it's the kind that makes you feel nauseous and want to vomit!

"Don't be disgusting!"

At that moment, Barto walked out of the crowd and stood in front of Alvida, looking at her with an unfriendly expression.

"So you said you have a Devil Fruit, right!?"

"I've offended the Navy for your sake this time!"

"If you dare to mess with me, you'd better prepare to be fed to the fish in Logue Bay!!!"

"Ugly monster!!!"

"What!?" Alvida exploded in fury upon hearing the key phrase. "Who are you calling an ugly monster!?"

But next second...

boom!!!

A transparent barrier suddenly appeared out of nowhere and slammed it into the ground.

"I've had enough of a bother today! I don't have time to waste with you!"

Barto leaned down, his demonic face reflected through the barrier in Alvida's terrified eyes.

"Now! Immediately! Right now! I want to see the Devil Fruit you mentioned!?"

"Did you understand!?"

"Ugh...ugh...ugh..."

Alvida, whose lips were squeezed into sausage shapes by the barrier, nodded vigorously.

The barrier vanished in an instant, and Alvida immediately began to gasp for breath.

She then immediately turned her head and looked at Barto in shock:

"You're a Devil Fruit user!?"

"Even an idiot could see that!?" Barto glanced at her contemptuously, but then continued:

"Don't even think about backing out of the deal; eat the Devil Fruit yourself!"

"Even among those with special abilities, there are varying degrees of strength!"

"You've offended me, Bartolomeo, and I have a hundred ways to make sure you can't survive on this sea!"

"You can try it if you don't believe me!"

Barto, who had spent years in the underworld, knew very well that to deal with enemies, one had to show ruthlessness and cruelty.

Otherwise, you will become the target of ruthlessness and cruelty!

That's why he never shows mercy!

as predicted.

After being threatened by Barto, Alvida panicked and shouted:

"No, no, no! I didn't have that thought at all!"

She then added:

"The Devil Fruit is in one of the inns we're staying at, and one of my men is guarding it!"

"I can take you there right now!"

"That's more like it!" Barto glanced at her arrogantly, then gave Gambia a meaningful look.

Peng!

A sack full of Beli was suddenly thrown in front of Alvida.

Barto continued:

"rest assured!"

"As long as the Devil Fruit is real, I won't shortchange you on the money you promised!"

"It's true! It's absolutely true!"

Upon seeing the banknotes, Alvida's eyes lit up again.

At this moment, however, she felt immense regret!

There are so many auction houses in the East Blue that can help sell Devil Fruits, but they only require a 15% commission...

Why did she impulsively choose to join an underground gang?

In the end, the fruit was not sold, and his underlings were either killed or captured by the navy.

The entire Alvida Pirates crew was reduced to just her and Coby, who guarded the Devil Fruits.

"What kind of mess have I made?!"

Alvida got up in a disheveled state, but after so many years of sailing the seas, she wouldn't be completely discouraged by such a setback.

In any case, as long as Barto keeps her word, she can at least still get a huge sum of 1.5 million Berries!

Bucky, who flew over, overheard every word of their conversation.

Seeing Alvida's miserable state, he felt inexplicably melancholy:

"Could it be that Devil Fruits are really cursed, causing misfortune to plague everyone who tries to sell them?"

Looking back, he realized that he possessed underwater combat skills that even Captain Roger praised, yet he was forced to rewrite his fate because of a moment of greed...

He couldn't help but feel sorry for Alvida.

However, even if his first half of life was wasted, his second half was just beginning!

"Hahaha~"

When the time was right, Bucky descended from the sky and attracted Barto's attention with a loud laugh.

"Who goes there?!"

Barto paused for a moment, then immediately looked in the direction of Bucky.

The next second, his eyes suddenly turned to surprise and doubt.

"Buggy the Clown! What are you doing here!?"

"Wait! Why can you fly!?"

"Are you also an ability user!?"

"Haha, young man, there's nothing surprising about that!"

Relying on his flying ability, Bucky brazenly put on airs, speaking to Barto like an elder:

"In the endless ocean, there are countless people with special abilities!"

"Don't let the small East China Sea blind you!"

"I saw that you were quite strong, so I couldn't resist coming over to take a look."

"I have to say..."

"Even on the vast ocean, I have rarely seen such an outstanding young man as you."

"Your future shouldn't end here."

"So, how about it? Interested in conquering this ocean with me?!"

Call ~

A sudden gust of wind blew by, knocking off Bucky's cloak and revealing his full form.

He stood high in the sky, arms crossed over his chest.

The bright red cloak fluttered in the wind, making those who looked up at it seem as if they were seeing a bright red flag!

Even more outrageous is...

The words he casually uttered were almost identical to those Hawkeye used when disciplining Zoro!

That's ridiculous.

It's no wonder that Bucky the Clown, through sheer charisma and luck, managed to ascend to the coveted position of one of the Four Emperors.

"What a handsome red nose!"

In an instant!

Barto and his entourage immediately lit up with starlight and exclaimed in admiration at Bucky in the air.

As delinquents, they simply cannot resist the power of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Alvida, on the other hand, was utterly astonished:

"These delinquents, can't they see that the red-nosed guy in the air is just faking it?! Hey!?"

"Look at him, he's so afraid of you he doesn't dare fly down even a meter! He's obviously worried about being affected by your abilities!"

In an instant, a glint of light flashed in Alvida's eyes:

"Could it be that these guys are actually quite gullible!?"

the other side.

In the air, Bucky suppressed his anger at being called "Red Nose" and forced a wide grin:

"Haha, the handsome one isn't me, it's you young people!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be the famous Bartolomeo of this sea area!"

"That's right, it's me, Buggy-senpai!"

Seemingly influenced by Bucky's adolescent chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), Barto's demonic face actually revealed a few traces of benevolent smiles.

"Hmm, very good!" Bucky nodded calmly, then continued:

"I happen to have something to discuss with you today."

"After seeing what just happened, I feel like we have another topic to talk about!"

"I don't want to see outstanding young people confined to a small corner of the world; I want to show you the way forward."

"But you seem to have other things to do right now, so how about this..."

"I will wait for you here for some time. If fate allows, we will meet again when you return."

"good!"

Upon hearing such a romantic invitation, Barto immediately accepted.

After all, while the red nose is cool, obtaining a Devil Fruit is an urgent matter.

But just as he was about to leave, Barto suddenly turned back as if remembering something and shouted to Bucky in the sky:

"Oh, right, Buggy-senpai!"

"I heard from your subordinates that... you seem to have joined the Straw Hat crew!?"

"I don't know why a handsome older man like you would want to be someone else's subordinate, but I heard from that female navy officer earlier..."

"The Straw Hat crew seems to have just arrived at the port of Loguetown!"

"Those navy ships retreated hastily because they were going to wipe out the Straw Hat crew!"
