One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 87: The Whole Army Encircles and Suppresses (Please continue reading!)

Let's go back to a short time ago.

The port of Rogge remains bustling with activity.

A large number of ships are anchored on the coast.

Some came to buy supplies, some to promote their products, and others specifically to travel and relax in Rogge Town.

As the last supply point before entering the Grand Line, this place is frequented not only by merchant ships but also by many ambitious pirates.

These pirates, in turn, attracted a large number of bounty hunters to settle in Loguetown.

Over time, the commercial street in Rogge Town became well-stocked with everything from daily supplies to firearms and ammunition.

You can buy almost all the specialties of the East China Sea here!

Just then, a light sailing ship flying a pirate flag and with a ram's head prow silently plunged into the harbor.

This ship is none other than the Going Merry, which carries the Straw Hat crew!

At this moment, aboard the bow of the Going Merry, Captain Luffy gazed at the town before him and murmured to himself:

"This is where the previous Pirate King died..."

The next second, the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up, and his eyes sparkled with a sense of delight.

Under the watchful eyes of his crewmates, Luffy suddenly stood up, raised his arms, and shouted:

"Loguetown! Here we come!!!"

This action immediately startled Usopp on the ship, who waved his hands repeatedly.

"Hey, Luffy! Don't yell so loudly!"

"You're a notorious wanted criminal in the East Blue now!!!"

"Huh!?" Luffy turned around with a grin. "So what now?"

"What? So what?" Usopp slapped his forehead and sighed helplessly, "You're going to get us discovered by the Navy!"

"Give me a break, Usopp. Do you really think you can control him?"

"That's our captain!"

At some point, Nami, who had completely betrayed the "Cowardly Duo," walked over and suddenly threw a wad of banknotes at Luffy.

"Give!"

"Consider this 100,000 Berries your activity budget for today. Remember to spend it wisely."

"Nami..."

Luffy's eyes widened instantly as he took the banknotes, his face showing an expression of disbelief and shock.

"You...you actually gave me money on your own initiative!?"

"Oh no, is today the end of the world?!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Give it back if you don't want it!"

Nami glanced at Luffy with annoyance, then turned her gaze to Usopp beside her, who was equally shocked and pale.

"Do you have any questions?!"

"No! No!" Usopp shook his head violently, denying it vehemently.

With Nami now in charge of the finances, her status in the Straw Hat crew is second only to Luffy and Red.

Hehe~!

"Thanks, Nami!"

Luffy grinned, stuffed the Beli he was holding into his pocket, and then leaped into the air, running straight into Loguetown.

"Then, I'll head off to see the execution platform!"

Bye-bye!

"Hey, wait a minute, we haven't decided on the meeting time and place yet!"

Usopp reached out blankly, but could only watch Luffy's figure grow further and further away.

"Sigh, I knew it."

He sighed helplessly.

The next second, Usopp looked shy and touched his fingers together.

"Um... Nami, didn't Red give me some evolution stones before?"

"I'd like to purchase a batch of materials and equipment to see if we can make use of them. The cost might be a bit high, what do you think?"

Usopp looked up, his eyes pleading, as if stars were twinkling in them.

Nami, who had billions in funds, was also very wealthy and didn't hesitate at all, nodding directly and saying:

"no problem!"

"But to prevent you from being cheated by unscrupulous merchants, I'll go with you this time!"

"Yes! Thank you, Nami-neechan!!!"

Usopp burst into excited laughter and bowed deeply in gratitude.

At this moment, Red, who had just finished mooring the ship with Zoro, also came over and reminded Usopp:

"Usopp, don't forget to check out the insectarium and the place that sells unusual plants!"

"If suitable varieties are available, we can also purchase a batch."

Although Usopp, who was left behind at the breeding center, hadn't learned any Pokémon moves yet, Red thought it was best to prepare for some things early, considering his type combination.

"no problem."

Usopp smiled and gave an "OK" sign, then she and Nami disembarked and headed towards the town.

Sanji, with the sails tied, leaped into the air and jumped off the mast.

He glanced furtively at Crimson and Zoro on the ship, lit a cigarette, and said:

"Crimson, you're going to find the knife shop and then the newspaper office, right?"

"Then I'll go to the food market by myself."

"If you go too late, it won't be fresh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sanji stepped onto the ship's railing.

Looking at his panicked and disoriented eyes, anyone who didn't know better would think he was running away from some ferocious beast.

And in fact, it seems that this is indeed the case.

"Huh!?"

"Does he think I don't exist? Why don't you even say hello when we meet?! You curly-haired cook?!"

Sanji was ultimately a step too slow.

Zoro tapped a long sword he was about to replace on his shoulder and gave Sanji a mocking smile.

"……asshole!"

Sanji, with one foot on the ship's railing, suddenly clenched his fists.

But the next second, he still gritted his teeth, turned around, and gave Zoro a ridiculous and ugly smile:

"Then I'll be off now, Mr. Zoro."

"That's more like it!"

Go!

Zoro couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Sanji leap away from the Going Merry.

Crimson, watching from the side, couldn't help but chuckle, shaking his head and saying:

"Zoro, honestly, you should just let Sanji go!"

"That won't do." Zoro grinned. "He lost the bet to me!"

"I'm going to savor the feeling of being respected by this curly-browed guy for a while now!"

The bet Zoro mentioned was naturally the duel they made at the naval base that day.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious who the winner is.

no way.

Although Sanji possesses the Flaming Whirlwind Kick, he was ultimately slightly inferior to Zoro's 100,000-volt lightning power, losing by a narrow margin.

Zoro, having finally seized this opportunity, was naturally not going to let Sanji go.

Lately, whenever the two meet, he immediately starts mocking Sanji.

And following the outcome of the bet, Sanji could only bear the pain.

As a result, Sanji has hardly shown his face in front of Zoro these past few days.

"Alright."

Red patted Zoro on the shoulder.

"Don't be too happy yet. Be careful, the next time Sanji wins, you'll be the one who suffers."

"Win it back? Him?!"

Zoro gave a dismissive laugh.

But the next second, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he said with extreme excitement:

"I won't give him that chance!"

……

……

Let's go back to the present.

The Straw Hat crew's high-profile arrival in Port was not intended to be kept secret from anyone.

The conspicuous pirate flag fluttering among a group of merchant ships instantly attracted the attention of the marines.

Upon discovering that it was the Straw Hat Pirates' logo, the soldiers guarding the area panicked instantly and immediately communicated with their respective superiors, reporting the situation up the chain of command.

This led to Tashigi abandoning her confrontation with Bartolomeo and hastily retreating.

……

……

Meanwhile, on a naval warship not far from the town of Loguetown.

Peng! ! !

Smoker suddenly slammed his fist into the wall beside him, his face contorted in smoke, revealing a menacing expression.

"Cunning pirates! They managed to sneak into Loguetown while I was away!"

"Did someone leak the information!?"

A thoughtful look flashed in Smoker's eyes.

But the next second, he immediately picked up the Den Den Mushi receiver next to him.

After a series of "blur blur~" sounds, Smoker gave a vicious order:

"Notify all warships to proceed at full speed to the port of Loguetown!"

"The Straw Hat Pirates are currently in Loguetown!"

"Based on their route, they are very likely planning to go directly into the Grand Line!"

"We must stop them there! We absolutely cannot let these pirates escape from the East Blue!!!"

Don't let Smoker's seemingly naive appearance fool you; he just doesn't like things, not that he doesn't understand them!

Despite the mess the Straw Hat crew made at the 16th Division, their bounty wasn't increased by headquarters, and then there was the urgent all-sea search operation involving dozens of naval warships...

This is enough to show that the naval leadership never intended for this group to continue living from the very beginning!

And if, after mobilizing such a large amount of manpower and resources, they still manage to escape...

Then he, as the commander-in-chief of the operation, would lose face big time!

"Damn pirates!"

"I will definitely bring you to justice!!!"

Thick white smoke rose from Smoker's body, turning the entire room into a white ocean.
