One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 96 The Destructive Death Ray Trio (710)

"It's our signal flare!"

"That direction is... the Going Merry!!!"

"Usopp is in danger!"

On the streets of Rogge.

Nami and Sanji, having reaped a bountiful harvest, looked up and immediately noticed a flashing red light in the shape of a straw hat in the sky.

Thanks to Usopp's work, the signal flare lasted for several tens of seconds even in heavy rain before being extinguished by the rain.

No unnecessary words.

A golden arc of electricity immediately crackled beneath Nami's feet as she used her electric acceleration technique to move swiftly through the rain.

Sanji did the same, flames erupting beneath his feet as he leaped into the air.

Although he hadn't mastered Moonwalk, his aerial movement speed wasn't as fast as Nami's in her Electric Acceleration state.

But thanks to his advantage in the straight line in the air, he wasn't much slower than Nami.

the other side.

Luffy and Zoro, who were on their way back, also noticed the signal flare that Usopp had fired.

"Something's happened!"

Zoro frowned.

Once the signal flare is fired, it means that a problem has arisen that the partners cannot solve.

A flicker of struggle crossed his eyes, but he still spoke to Luffy:

"There's no other way, Luffy!"

"Use that trick! We must get back to the Going Merry immediately!"

The "technique" Zoro mentioned is naturally the best way for a rubber fruit user to travel, and also the way he hates the most—the aerial flying man!

"good!!!"

Luffy, equally worried about the Going Merry, didn't hesitate at all, quickly extending one arm to wrap around Zoro's waist.

His gaze immediately began searching for a suitable building overhead.

……

……

On the high seas.

The Navy was unaware that Smoker, who had single-handedly stormed the Going Merry, had been captured by the Straw Hat crew.

The vast fleet continued to approach the Merry, and it looked like it was about to completely surround the port.

"Oh no! Pakistan's missile reserves are running low!!!"

Holding the last Bucky bomb, Usopp stared at the nearly empty ammunition depot, his brow furrowing instantly, a deep sense of regret welling up inside him.

"I never expected this to happen!"

"If Luffy and his crew don't come back soon, we'll have to use the last two Usopp-made Buggy Bullets."

"As expected, we were too conservative before! We should have manufactured more shells and stored them in the ammunition depot!"

At this moment, Usopp's fear of insufficient firepower worsened once again.

As he loaded the last Pakistani shell into the breech, he moved the muzzle, forcing himself to calm down.

Although he was already in a state of panic, as a sniper, the more panicked he was, the calmer he had to be.

He quickly spotted the nearest naval warship to the USS Merry.

However, before Usopp could even ignite the rocket...

Above his head, there was another thud as something heavy fell to the ground.

Peng.

"Usopp! I'm back!"

Upon landing, Nami immediately assembled the Weather Stick and used the healing effect of the grassy terrain to replenish the energy she had consumed during her journey.

Upon hearing this voice, Usopp's eyes immediately lit up with surprise.

"It's Nami!"

The next moment, he was so nervous that he could no longer hold back, and tears involuntarily streamed down his face.

"You're finally back!!!"

Usopp lit the fuse while crying.

With a deafening roar of artillery fire, a naval warship on the opposite side lost its combat capability amidst a dazzling display of fire.

Usopp, however, leaned back weakly and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Damn, the pressure is too much!

He felt he was about to have a mental breakdown if his friends didn't come back soon!

Fortunately, Nami's return finally put Usopp's mind at ease.

Regardless, Nami is a strong woman capable of taking on the Arlong Pirates single-handedly, so dealing with a mere few dozen warships is nothing compared to that...

cough cough...

It shouldn't be a problem, right?

"No, now's not the time to lie down!"

Usopp, who was clearly exhausted, stood up again.

One Nami alone cannot stop so many enemies.

She still needs her own support!

After tidying up the ammunition in his satchel, Usopp quickly walked out of the cabin.

Stepping onto the green grass, a comfortable feeling washed over him like a gentle stream.

His physical strength and mental stress were gradually restored under the effect of the grassy field.

"Are you the only one who came back?"

Looking at Nami standing at the bow of the ship, Usopp quickly asked her a question.

Nami, however, smiled brightly.

"Of course not!"

Peng!

As they were speaking, a dark figure suddenly landed on the deck of the Merry.

The weight of the cargo even caused the Going Merry to shake for a moment.

Sanji placed all the ingredients on the ground, lit a cigarette to shield himself from the rain, and then said to Usopp:

"Thank you for your hard work, Usopp."

"Well done!"

"But from now on, leave this place to us!"

"Sanji!"

Usopp was overjoyed to see his friends returning one by one.

Just then, a series of screeching sounds suddenly came from high above their heads.

"Wow! W ...

Luffy let out a Tarzan-like roar and, like a fleeting shooting star, suddenly streaked across the head of the Going Merry, flying towards the distant sea.

"Hey hey hey!!! Luffy!!! That's too much! That's too much!!!"

Zoro, who was being transported by Luffy, immediately screamed in panic upon seeing this.

Luffy, who was busy having fun, was oblivious and his expression suddenly changed when he looked at the sea below.

Fortunately, he was not far from the Merry at that time.

"Rubber, rubber... a spiral rope!!!"

Startled, Luffy quickly swung his arm and instantly grabbed the mast of the Going Merry.

Then, under the force of the elasticity, he suddenly began to spin rapidly around the mast.

"ah--!!!"

Zoro let out a painful howl.

A few seconds later...

Peng! ! !

He and Luffy crashed into the mast of the Going Merry and then slowly slid down.

"Pfft!"

Upon seeing this, Sanji immediately burst into gloating laughter.

But the laughter was like needles piercing Zoro's eardrums.

He rubbed his reddened face and first said to Luffy:

"Sooner or later, I'll get my revenge!"

Then his gaze immediately fell on Sanji:

"Hey, Number Six, what are you laughing at?!"

"...No, I wasn't laughing at anything."

Sanji forced himself to suppress his laughter and remained silent.

Because of the previous bet, if he and Zoro were to argue, he would definitely be the one who suffers in the end.

Hang in there!

Once the month is up, he will definitely let Zoro know...

What does it mean to never offend the cook on the high seas?!

In fact, Red had already seen through Sanji's thoughts, which is why he kept reminding Zoro to restrain himself and let Sanji go.

However, Zoro seemed to be having too much fun to care about any of this.

can only say……

These two are destined to be a couple who love and hate each other.

"Uh, what happened?"

Luffy stood up, dusted himself off, and asked Usopp a question.

"Oh, right!"

Usopp then remembered and pointed to the naval fleet in the distance.

"Luffy, we're surrounded by the Marines!"

"Wow! It really is! So many naval warships!!!" Luffy suddenly exclaimed in amazement.

Nami frowned: "With this many ships, could it be that half the warships of the East Blue have come to capture us?!"

"By the way! Has Crimson not returned yet?"

"Um..." Zoro, who had just parted ways with Red, said, "It seems he went to find Buggy the Clown Pirates."

"I guess they didn't see Usopp's signal flare, so they probably won't be back until they finish their business."

"I see." Nami nodded knowingly, then looked at Luffy again. "In that case... it seems we have no choice but to fight these warships."

"Is that okay, Luffy!?"

"Hehe! Of course!"

"Are we really going to abandon Crimson?!"

Luffy clenched his fist, making a crisp sound.

"but……"

A thoughtful look suddenly flashed in Zoro's eyes as he stopped teasing Sanji.

"There are so many warships on the other side. If we get surrounded, it will affect our departure from port, won't it?"

"indeed."

Sanji surprisingly agreed with Zoro's point of view.

He looked at the warships in the distance and said:

"Since we have to wait for Crimson now and can't move..."

"Then it would be best to force them to stop where they are and prevent them from coming any closer."

"So... you're going to use that move, right!?"

Luffy's eyes sparkled, and he burst into excited laughter.

Zoro and Sanji also smiled.

The three of them arrived at the bow of the ship in perfect unison.

Luffy stood on the bow of the sheep-headed ship, while Zoro and Sanji stood on the railings on either side.

"Yosh! Here we go!"

"Phew~"

Luffy bit his thumb, then puffed out his cheeks and blew air into it.

Zoro and Sanji also entered their Three-Sword Style and Flame Knight forms.

A surging aura began to gather around the three of them.

Beneath the dark, heavy clouds, it seemed as if a demon god had descended upon the bow of the Merry.

The sea suddenly boiled, and the waves surged.

"Too...too powerful!!!"

Seeing the three people's almost tangible aura, Usopp couldn't help but show a look of amazement.

……

……

Meanwhile, at the port of Rogge town.

Red turned and waved goodbye to Bucky, Johnny, and the others:

"Okay, that's enough for now!"

"Since I already have a Den Den Mushi and a Vivre Card, I can just contact them directly if anything comes up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Crimson floated into the air.

There are too many people at the port; flying is much easier.

However, at that moment...

Suddenly, a group of non-mainstream individuals appeared in the crimson gaze.

Led by a bruised and battered man with a green afro, they ran into the port from another intersection.

He even spotted a familiar yet unfamiliar figure among their group.

"This is……"

"Alvida and Bartolomeo!?"

"How did those two get together?"

"And what's wrong with Barto? Doesn't he already have the Barrier-Barrier Fruit? How come he's getting beaten up so badly!?"

"Could it be that I haven't mastered the Devil Fruit's power enough?!"

Many doubts welled up in his crimson heart.

However, he didn't think too much about it, treating it as a butterfly effect he had created, and continued flying towards the Merry.

Before he could even cross the harbor, he saw three familiar figures suddenly leap into the air.

They are the red-clad companions, the three strongest fighters of the Straw Hat crew!

Suddenly, the three of them roared:

"Three-Sword Style Secret Technique: Flying Dragon Flash..."

"Rubber Rubber Giant..."

"Devil's Wind Leg - Feast of the Whole Family..."

"Destruction Ray!!!"

In an instant...

Zoro's body suddenly spun violently in the air, the sharp light of his blade spreading out continuously, yet remaining still and unleashed.

Ultimately, all the shockwaves from the slashes coalesced into a gigantic two-winged dragon in mid-air!

Awooo—!!!

It was as if a dragon's roar resounded through the sky.

The flying dragon slash seemed to come alive, bombarding the distant naval warship!

Sanji, on the other side, was also suspended in mid-air by the flame power of his left leg, while his right leg was pointed at the distant warship, and then he swung it forcefully!

In an instant!

An endless, scorching aura emitted a blinding white light, forming a roaring storm of fire that surged toward the naval warships in front of him!

The Hyper Beam, a move from the Normal type, was incorporated into Zoro and Sanji's swordplay and kicking techniques, becoming something unique to them.

Only Luffy used a method similar to the original!

With the violent inflation, he transformed into a colossal creature with a body several meters in size in mid-air!

A surge of intense energy suddenly coalesced in front of the giant Luffy, making it resemble a small sun in the gloomy Loguetown port, illuminating the entire sea area.

And then, in the next instant!

boom--!!!!!!!

The vast energy beam, as if compressed to its limit, shot out instantly, enveloping all the warships directly in front of the Merry.

At that moment, the world seemed to have lost its color and sound!

Everyone in the port of Loguetown, regardless of their status or what they were doing, stopped and looked at the three beams of light heading towards the sea.

then……

BOOM!!!

The calm sea surface was suddenly churned up with giant waves tens of meters high, engulfing all the naval warships.

Immediately following was a deafening explosion.

Splash splash splash splash—

Endless seawater poured down from the sky, turning the already weakening rain into a torrential downpour, and escalating into a flood disaster.

And then, as the surging waves crashed down onto the distant sea...

The naval fleet that had been converging on the port of Loguetown was now a pile of broken wreckage, barely clinging to life amidst the surging waves.

The Straw Hat Pirates' three strongest fighters...

With a single strike, they destroyed the large fleet that the East China Sea Navy had painstakingly built up!

It is foreseeable that...

Tomorrow's news reports will surely cause a stir throughout the East China Sea!

And the Straw Hat Pirates' name will officially enter the sights of the world's strongest!

Powerful individuals and powerful strategic capabilities...

They are never the same concept!

It failed... Although the word count has reached 20,000, it's still 3 chapters short.

Since I failed to do so, I have no choice but to repay double.

There will be (3+2) chapter updates tomorrow and the day after.

Hopefully it won't get any worse!
