One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 97 The goal is—the Grand Line (15)

Rumble...

A sudden, dark flash of light appeared in the clouds above the port, followed by a deafening roar that echoed throughout the entire town of Rogue.

Inside the port, everyone stared wide-eyed, as if they had forgotten everything, watching incredulously as the Straw Hat Trio descended from the sky onto the Going Merry.

My gaze finally settled on that adorable yet deeply terrifying light sailboat.

The Barto Group, which had originally planned to seek revenge on Sanji and Nami, were stunned and stood frozen in place, with no one daring to take a step forward.

revenge?

These two words, for some reason, became exceptionally ridiculous at this moment.

Gazing at the boiling sea and the destroyed naval fleet, Barto, who originally needed his underlings' support, pushed aside the two non-mainstream delinquents beside him and staggered forward, his eyes filled with deep shock.

"This...this is pirates!?" His crooked mouth uttered indistinct sounds as he muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, Bucky's group, located behind the port, were also speechless with shock at what they had just witnessed.

Bucky floated in mid-air, clutching his pounding heart, unable to calm down for a long time.

"It's been so long... since I've seen such a grand spectacle!"

At this moment, those who also arrived at the port were not only pirates and gangsters.

Although Luffy and Zoro defeated most of her forces, Tashigi managed to assemble a small squad and hurriedly arrived at the port.

Immediately...

They witnessed the complete defeat of the naval fleet!

"How...how could this happen!?"

Finally unable to hold on any longer, Tashigi suffered a mental breakdown, collapsing to the ground and staring blankly at the distant sea.

The next second, she suddenly clenched her fist on the ground, bowed her head, and wept as she looked at her subordinate beside her:

"Quickly...quickly organize a rescue team!!!"

In this battle to pursue the Straw Hat crew, both the naval base in Loguetown and the naval bases involved in the operation suffered heavy losses.

More importantly...

Their efforts and sacrifices, aside from making the Straw Hat crew even more famous, serve no other purpose.

simply……

It's like a joke!

……

……

at the same time.

"You lot, you've been causing trouble again while I was away!"

Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out from above the Going Merry.

A faint arc of electricity crackled beneath his feet as he slowly landed on the grassy field.

But in front of him were the three Straw Hat Trio, who looked as if they hadn't eaten all day and were completely exhausted!

Who would have thought...

To outsiders, these three individuals, who appeared as powerful as gods and demons, were now so weak.

This is also the main reason why Crimson sealed off the Destruction Beam and prevented them from using it indiscriminately!

He had already had the three of them test the power of the Destruction Ray back in the game world.

However, unlike the negative effect of being stunned for one turn after using it in the game, the negative effect of the Destruction Ray in the real world is much more terrifying!

Because it can instantly deplete all the Pokémon energy in a user's body, leaving them in a state of weakness and exhaustion.

As of now, Crimson does not know the reason why this is happening...

Is it that Luffy and his friends aren't proficient enough with the Hyper Beam, or is it that the Pokémon energy within them isn't enough to unleash a complete move?

However, because each use would immediately render them unable to fight, wasting too much time, Crimson rarely allowed them to use this powerful move in the game world, even though they were equipped with it.

"Crimson, you're finally back!"

Upon seeing Crimson land, Usopp and Nami immediately ran over excitedly.

The three people lying on the ground weakly raised their heads.

"Red, you're back." Luffy stuck out his tongue and didn't forget to greet Red.

"Really."

Seeing this, Crimson smiled helplessly and shook his head gently.

The next second, he flipped his wrist and used a little battery to retrieve 3 bottles of PP supplements from his game backpack.

In the game, items can restore the number of times a move can be used. In the real world, however, they can directly restore the Pokémon's depleted energy.

After swallowing a small bottle of supplement, Luffy and his two companions were instantly revived on the spot!

Although I haven't fully recovered, at least I no longer feel weak due to the lack of energy!

All that's left is to let the grassy field gradually recover its condition!

After Usopp's explanation, Red also learned what had happened at the port while he was away.

"I never expected the navy would go to such lengths to capture us."

Red was slightly taken aback, but he immediately looked at Luffy and smiled slightly.

"It seems I really can't stay in the East China Sea anymore."

"Luffy, it's almost time. Shouldn't we get ready to set off?"

In an instant, everyone in the Straw Hat crew turned their attention to Luffy because of Akane's words!

Because at this moment, they were standing at the last stop before the crossroads of the Grand Line!

And if they set sail again, their destination will be...

The Grand Line, a route that countless people yearn for!

"Hehehe!!!"

Luffy suddenly pulled down his straw hat and, stepping on the ship's railing, instantly leaped onto the goat's head prow of the Going Merry.

"good!!!"

Before the eyes of the Straw Hat crew and the thousands of spectators in Loguetown, Luffy slowly opened his arms, took a deep breath, and, as if using all his strength, shouted at the top of his lungs towards the sea:

"My lords!!! Set sail!!! Begin our voyage!!!"

"The Grand Line, here we come—!!!!!"

Whoosh!

The port of Loguetown, which had finally calmed down, was suddenly hit by another surging wave!

Just as the people at the port were filled with fear, thinking that the wave was about to crash onto the shore...

The wave miraculously split in two, quickly reaching the back of the Merry, propelling the ship and steadily lifting it up.

In an instant!

People seemed to see a skilled surfer riding the waves, dodging the wreckage of naval warships and all obstacles ahead, heading towards the vast world.

A beam of brilliant sunlight suddenly pierced through the clouds and shone on the sails of the Merry.

The image of the pirate wearing a straw hat was firmly imprinted in everyone's hearts.

The gale and torrential rain stopped at that moment.

The bright sunshine reappeared, as if heralding a brand new day for people...

here we go!!!

……

……

"The Straw Hat Pirates are gone."

At the port, people's minds were still stuck on the moment when Luffy and his crew destroyed the Navy fleet.

Watching the figure disappear on the horizon, Bartolomeo, who had reached the edge of the harbor, suddenly turned to Alvida beside him and asked:

"Alvida, do you know what preparations are needed for going to sea!?"

A rescue fleet organized by the navy quickly set sail to carry out a rescue operation for the stranded sailors.

Merchant ships at the port also joined the rescue efforts.

Bucky and his gang put on their hoods and disappeared back into Loguetown to prepare for their next move.

After all, not long after, they too will follow in the footsteps of the Straw Hat crew and enter the long-awaited Grand Line.

This moment.

Silence belongs to Loguetown, and so does noise.

Dragon, the revolutionary leader who originally came to protect Luffy, mysteriously appeared on a clock tower in Loguetown.

As he watched Luffy and his crew depart on a giant wave, a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

"Has the wind of time already reached you, Luffy!?"

"Looks like I need to pick up the pace too!"

A hurricane roared.

Dorrag's figure suddenly disappeared into the hurricane.

……

……

"Look at that light!!!"

"That must be the guiding light at the entrance to the Grand Line!"

After sailing on the waves for a while, Nami suddenly pointed ahead and introduced the ship to everyone.

"So, that means we'll be entering the Grand Line soon, right!?"

Zoro grinned excitedly, one hand resting on his long sword, his fighting spirit high.

"The Grand Line, where powerful beings abound!"

He hadn't forgotten what Red had told him before he joined the Straw Hat crew.

At Nami's prompting, everyone's gaze unconsciously turned toward the light in the distance.

Just then, Sanji seemed to suddenly remember something, and carried a huge barrel out of the cabin and placed it on the deck.

He grinned, a cigarette dangling from his mouth that seemed destined to burn forever, and suggested:

"To celebrate our upcoming entry into the Grand Line, let's have a launching ceremony!!!"

"Yay!!!"

Luffy instantly raised his arms in strong support.

The other members of the Straw Hat crew also came over one after another.

Sanji, who made the suggestion, was the first to put his feet on the barrel.

This is a common ritual practice during sea voyages.

It wasn't very formal, but for the Straw Hat crew at this moment, it was precisely because of its casualness that it became even more interesting.

He said seriously:

"To find [ALL·BLUE], and to become even stronger!!!"

Luffy laughed loudly, and then immediately stepped onto the wooden barrel.

"To become the Pirate King!!!"

"Interesting!" Zoro followed closely, a smirk playing on his lips. "I'm here to defeat that man and become the world's greatest swordsman!"

"Then what about me..." Nami hesitated for a moment, but after placing her feet on the wooden tub, she said:

"To create the world's best nautical charts! So that we can brave any weather and reach every corner of the world!!!"

"Ahhh..."

A nervous Usopp stammered twice, his legs propped up, but he hadn't figured out what to say.

After a choked sob, though he lacked confidence, he still spoke:

"To become a brave warrior of the sea..."

Usopp paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice:

"To become a world-class sniper!!!"

Swish!

The next second, everyone's eyes turned to Chi Hong, who was standing to the side with a smile on his face, as if they were waiting for him to tell them his dream.

"Dreams..."

Looking at the wonderful scenes from the anime before him, a look of emotion instantly appeared in his bloodshot eyes.

Looking back, I thought there was something wrong with my cheat system, so I hurriedly and unpreparedly followed Luffy out to sea.

Now that he understands how to use the machine correctly, he no longer has those concerns, but he is also unable to leave the ship.

Peng!

Red imitated everyone else, putting his feet on the wooden tub, and then he suddenly burst into laughter and said:

"So that I can personally make up for those regrets!"

"So that I can see the ending of the story with my own eyes..."

A pity! The ending! ?

The crimson words immediately drew the attention of the others.

However, at this point, no one would ask too many questions.

Luffy grinned widely and suddenly raised his leg.

"Set off!!!"

"The goal is..."

"The Grand Line!!!"

Peng! ! !

With everyone working together, the wooden barrel shattered with a crash.

At this moment, everyone's face was filled with a sincere and expectant smile.

The spark of dreams transformed into the most beautiful fireworks at this moment, blooming in the sky above the Merry!
