One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Hawkeye was lucky; he had just acquired the Purify move recently, so he still remembered its effects.

He even remembered that he initially considered this move to be useless.

After all, there are very few situations where the Straw Hat Pirates need to purify their techniques.

But this doesn't mean that purification techniques aren't powerful enough.

This poison-attribute healing technique possesses two powerful abilities...

One of them is, as it just demonstrated, the ability to eliminate any abnormal status on the target!

That's right!

Unlike antidotes that can only remove toxins, purification techniques are effective against any unnatural situation!

In addition, when the purification technique successfully heals, it will also transform the abnormality on the healed person into pure energy, replenishing the healer's physical strength.

Furthermore, the energy replenished far exceeds what the body itself consumes.

In other words, as long as you have enough targets with abnormal conditions, you can have endless physical strength and energy.

This is also why Red had just sneered at the Beasts Pirates' actions.

In the well-developed power system of the Pokémon world, nothing but blatant force is effective against them!

He's starting to look forward to it now...

After Kaido and his crew painstakingly spread the virus throughout the festival, and thought they could easily defeat the Straw Hat Pirates...

Seeing that they were not only unaffected by the virus, but even used it to gain a large number of powerful subordinates...

What kind of expressions will they make?

That's right!

When he realized that all of this was Kaido's conspiracy, a plan to turn the tables on him immediately popped into Akame's mind!

Chapter 421 Luffy's Acting Skills are MAX (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

"Captain Kaido, with this, the last virus release device has now been installed."

"Before long, the entire island will be engulfed by the virus we developed, and every living being here will inevitably perish!!!"

In a corner of the festival island, Queen placed a strange device, about half a person's height, in a secluded spot, then immediately revealed a maniacal smile and reported to Kaido.

At this moment, Caesar, who was standing nearby, also suddenly stepped forward to claim the credit:

"By the way, Lord Kaido, this virus still doesn't have a suitable name since its creation~"

"Since it will soon shock the world, I think we need to give it a catchy name!"

"Hey, you bastard!"

Queen, who had been pushed aside, tugged at Caesar's clothes, trying to pull him away from Kaido.

He's someone who came to them in distress, but now he seems to be on the verge of becoming the fourth most important figure!

If it were just an ordinary combatant, that would be one thing.

Quinn, being a fellow scientist, would absolutely not allow that bastard Caesar to be on equal footing with him and to take away his research funds!

However, at that moment, Kaido suddenly let out a hearty laugh:

"Wolf, Wolf~ You're right, this virus really should be given a catchy name!"

Just now, they saw Hawkeye suddenly faint during the battle through the live stream of Celebration Island.

Despite the fact that people kept saying things like "Hawkeye was defeated by Zoro, and a new world's greatest swordsman has been born" during the live stream.

However, Kaido and his group, who were the instigators of this incident, were well aware of the situation...

Hawkeye wasn't defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates' swordsman at all; he was defeated by their Beast Virus!

This virus is colorless and odorless, and has a certain incubation period. Once it takes effect, it will devour all living beings except those in the Beast Pirates, just like a ferocious beast.

As for why the members of the Beasts Pirates weren't affected by the virus...?

That's because shortly after the virus was developed, they created a vaccine to prevent it and injected it into all the members of the Beasts Pirates.

However, under Kaido's orders, they had no idea what they were injecting!

With this powerful virus, the day when the Beasts Pirates will dominate the world is just around the corner!

Kaido had never imagined that the power of technology could be so great.

After all, at that time he believed that his power was invincible in the world.

However, with the appearance of the Straw Hat Pirates and the blows from the previous major events, Kaido is no longer so confident in his own power.

But it doesn't matter!

There's always a way out.

Although he's no longer effective in head-on combat, he still has even more powerful methods.

With this virus, straw hats, white beards, red hair, the Five Elders of the World Government...

They will all become stepping stones for him to ascend to the throne of the Pirate King!

After a moment's thought, Kaido grinned and said:

"Since this virus is so domineering, and also a powerful weapon to help me become king..."

"Then let's call it the Overlord Virus!!!"

"Great name!!!"

Snap snap snap~

Caesar, who had been waiting for so long, didn't even hear what Kaido said before his eyes widened and he clapped his hands earnestly and approvingly.

One after another, and another!

This scene naturally made Kaido burst into laughter again.

He could certainly see through Caesar's flattery.

But now, a world-class scientist capable of developing such a terrifying virus is so humble as to flatter himself...

The feeling can be summed up in one word: blissful!

Looking at Caesar, whose face clearly said "I really want to improve," even King couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Will this sycophantic guy take my position as the undisputed vice-captain of the Beasts Pirates?

Fortunately, their great cause has not yet been accomplished, and they have not prematurely become complacent in their victory.

Kaido quickly began to inquire:

"About how long will it take for the Straw Hat Pirates to fall ill?"

"This one……"

Caesar hesitated for a moment, then thought for a moment and said:

"Based on the rate of virus transmission, it will take about a day for all living things on this island to become infected."

"Two days from now, the entire Straw Hat crew will be weak and unable to fight!"

"We still need two more days..."

Kaido pondered for a moment.

After all, delays can lead to unforeseen circumstances, and the Straw Hat crew possesses various methods that even he cannot comprehend. If the Overlord Virus fails to meet their expectations, things could get quite messy.

"no!"

"We absolutely must keep the Straw Hat Pirates at bay, at least ensuring they stay on this island for the next couple of days!"

Because the live stream was interrupted after Hawkeye fell unconscious, Kaido and his crew were unaware that the Straw Hat Pirates had cracked their virus attack.

Kaido is still seriously considering how to keep the Straw Hat crew on the island.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the naval warships that had been surrounding the island.

"Yeah!"

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Kaido.

The Navy is still deploying defenses around the area, but because he and the Straw Hat Pirates, two of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, are both here, they dare not take a single step forward. (At least that's what Kaido thinks.)

Then wouldn't he be able to use the excuse of fighting against the Navy to stay with the Straw Hat crew?

That way, we can address their symptoms as soon as they appear, preventing any unforeseen complications!

And so, Kaido and his three companions quickly discussed what to say when they met the Straw Hat Pirates, completely unaware that...

Behind them, a green ghost was slowly rising from the ground, its eyes, gleaming with an eerie light, fixed intently on the four of them.

……

……

A moment later, on the deck of the Merry.

"So it really was Kaido and his crew who did this!?"

Upon hearing Brooke's report, Crimson, who had anticipated this, immediately smiled slightly.

At this moment, he was not angry at Kaido's despicable methods; on the contrary, he was somewhat grateful that Kaido had given him such a great gift.

He was originally thinking about what methods to use to subdue the pirate crews he had his eye on.

But now that Kaido has pulled this stunt, if these pirate crews don't join the Straw Hat crew and receive purification treatment, they're doomed!

Including Hawkeye, the world's greatest swordsman!

Thinking of this, Crimson immediately turned his gaze to Hawkeye, whose eyes were burning with rage, and said in a solemn tone:

"Mihawk-senpai, you heard it too, didn't you? This was indeed Kaido and his crew's doing."

"It seems they've gone to extreme lengths to deal with us."

"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this, senior."

At this moment, Crimson looked like a humble and polite junior, showing Hawkeye an apologetic and guilty expression.
