One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 99 Temporary Passenger - Smoker (35)

In the rising ocean currents of Upside Down Mountain.

What was a hellish current for other ships was rendered harmless by Crimson's surfing skills, propelling the Merry upwards.

The miraculous sight of Upside Down instantly inspired the Straw Hat crew to have a feast during this exciting moment.

then……

They discovered the Navy Captain Smoker, who had been imprisoned by Usopp.

"Oh dear! I almost forgot!"

Usopp suddenly slapped his forehead, only to remember Smoker being imprisoned in the warehouse.

He then began to tell everyone how he outwitted and outmaneuvered Smoker, fought him for three hundred rounds, and fought him so fiercely that it was dizzying, until he finally defeated and controlled him.

"You dead gay!"

"Usopp, you're amazing!!!"

Luffy's eyes lit up; he was immediately struck by the powerful and courageous image that Usopp had described.

But just then...

Peng!

With a grim expression, Nami punched Luffy's rubber head, creating a large bump, and then shouted:

"Idiot! Can't you tell he's bragging?!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Luffy clutched his head, then looked up at Usopp in surprise:

"Huh? Is Usopp bragging?!"

"Hahaha..." Usopp, caught red-handed, gave an awkward laugh and rubbed his finger under his nose.

"How is that possible!?"

"How could I possibly lie!?"

"Are you really not lying?" Crimson suddenly looked over with amusement.

"Don't blame me for not warning you, Usopp..."

"This guy seems to be a key talent the Navy has been grooming in recent years, and he's also a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, just like the three Admirals..."

"Defeating this guy should be enough to make your name known far and wide!"

"At least putting you on the Navy's must-arrest list and having the Navy send a few warships to arrest you shouldn't be a problem."

"Sorry, I was exaggerating!"

Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately bowed and apologized, saying in a flustered manner:

"This guy accidentally slipped and fell into the sea, please don't let the Navy know about this!!!"

"Hahaha……"

Upon seeing this, Crimson burst into laughter.

He certainly wouldn't believe the story of him slipping and falling into the sea.

Although he must have used some trickery, being able to capture Smoker is enough to prove Usopp's strength!

"So... what do we do with this guy? Kill him?"

Clang!

Zoro suddenly flicked the blade of Sandai Kitetsu, looking at Luffy and Akame with a questioning gaze.

"Hey, that's so cruel!"

Sanji, who was standing nearby, immediately stopped him.

In war, no one can control the situation, and casualties are inevitable.

But the idea of ​​killing someone for no reason always made the kind-hearted Straw Hat crew feel uneasy.

"What do you think?" Red left the final choice to Luffy.

"Hmm~"

Luffy tilted his head to the side, seemingly deep in thought.

Then, a dozen seconds later...

Glug glug glug~

Suddenly, a rumbling sound of hunger rang out.

Suddenly, Luffy's eyes lit up: "Yosh, let's have eel rice today, Sanji!"

"Damn it! Who told you to think about what to eat today?!"

Peng! ! !

The Straw Hat crew instantly flew into a rage, and one of them smacked Luffy on the head.

Chi Hong sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "Forget it, it's been so long, this guy's probably starving to death by now."

"Let's release him first and give him something to eat."

"Sanji, go and get things ready."

"OK~"

Sanji responded and then walked towards the kitchen.

Under Red's command, Usopp and Zoro worked together to pull Smoker out of the sea and loosen his chains.

And the next second...

"Damn pirates!!!"

Whew!

Smoker, who had been pretending to be unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to grab Usopp, who had caused him so much suffering.

But just then...

Clang!

A blade gleaming with a scarlet, ghostly aura suddenly appeared before him.

The jet-black Armament Haki slowly traveled along the hilt towards the blade.

Although his skill and the amount of his domineering aura were still somewhat immature, a look of fear suddenly flashed in Smoker's eyes.

Luffy, standing next to him, also released Armament Haki to cover his fist.

Tread, step, step...

Upon seeing this, Smoker retreated repeatedly.

He reached for the weapon Jitte behind his back, only to find that it had already been confiscated by Usopp.

He has now sawed off the sea stone at the front end, preparing to use it to make ammunition for ability users.

Smoker's expression darkened: "Armament Haki?! How do you know that?!"

"Hmm~ Is that difficult?" Zoro Versailles grinned. "Isn't it just a matter of having hands!?"

"Anyone with hands can do it!?"

Thinking back to how I ended up studying Devil Fruits because I couldn't develop Armament Haki, and even got a severe scolding from Zephyr...

Smoker clenched his fist.

Putting aside their identities, he really wanted to punch Zoro right now!

However, with his Logia-type advantage broken, Smoker was at a loss for what to do.

Moreover, he was currently covered in seawater and in a den of thieves...

Fortunately, Crimson stepped in at this moment and acted as a peacemaker:

"Alright, alright, Colonel Smoker."

"We are currently in the upwelling current of Upside Down Mountain. If you don't want to end up drowning for no reason, please keep things quiet for a while."

"At the very least, you should ensure your own safety, shouldn't you!"

“…………”

Under Crimson's admonition, Smoker gradually calmed down.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the situation is very delicate for him right now.

"What exactly do you want?" he immediately clenched his fists and questioned.

"Shouldn't we be asking you that, Colonel Smoker!?"

Chi Hong gave a polite smile.

"We were just stopping in Loguetown for supplies, and without a word, you led your men to surround and annihilate us..."

"That's because I'm a Marine, and you're pirates!!!" Smoker roared furiously.

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned Crimson; the mere mention of it ignited his anger.

Although we don't know what happened, judging from the current situation, the Straw Hat crew has obviously escaped the encirclement and is about to flee into the Grand Line.

His mission has clearly failed!

I don't know what kind of punishment I'll face when I get back.

Poor Smoker had no idea that his fleet had been completely destroyed by the Straw Hat crew; otherwise, he would have been furious on the spot.

Even at this moment, he still harbored a sliver of hope that the Straw Hat crew would be brought to justice.

Crimson didn't intend to point this out, at least that would keep the ship a little quieter.

Soon, Sanji came over with a plate of fried rice and thoughtfully prepared a glass of warm water for Smoker.

For a chef, ensuring that people don't go hungry is the most basic professional quality.

"Alright, Colonel Smoker."

Red smiled slightly and gestured for Sanji to place the food and water on the crate next to Smoker.

Because the ship was tilting slightly at this time, Sanji specifically found two places to hold the cutlery.

It can be said that she has carried her gentle persona to her very core.

"You must be starving after a long day!"

"Whether it's the navy or pirates... even if you want to capture us, you should at least fill your stomachs, right?"

"Don't worry, Sanji is a chef with dignity. He would never do something like poisoning food."

"in addition……"

With a gleam in his red eyes, he pulled out a newspaper and placed it next to his plate.

The World Economic Herald (East Blue Edition) records the collusion between Colonel Rat and the Arlong Pirates.

Although Smoker's strength is average and he is arrogant, no matter what, his heart is definitely righteous!

And it's the kind of justice that transcends naval identity... true justice!!!

"Here's today's newspaper; you can read it when you're bored."

"We don't have much time left to reach the summit. Who knows what will happen next? Let's go eat!"

"Yay!!!"

Red's suggestion was met with an immediate and enthusiastic response from Luffy.

Soon, they left the warehouse where Smoker was being held in a scattered manner, leaving Smoker there without any restraints.

"What's wrong with these guys?!"

Smoker frowned, inexplicably sensing that Luffy and his crew were different from other pirates.

Smelling the fragrant fried rice, he, who hadn't eaten or drunk anything all day, finally couldn't resist and picked up a spoon to devour it.

"..."

"So delicious~!"
