Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

"Thank you...thank you everyone..."

Nami, who had been holding back tears, silently covered her mouth at this moment and cried silently.

The crystal tears fell into the hearts of the Straw Hats, but they turned into blazing anger. They wished they could teleport to Cocoa West Village and burn the Dragon Pirates to death!

"Red, let's leave for Cocoa West Village immediately!" Luffy immediately suggested to Red with clenched fists.

"no problem!"

Chihong smiled and nodded, and said meaningfully:

"After all, the sailing direction we planned from the beginning was to Cocoa West Village~"

"But before heading to Cocoa West Village, we need to pick up two partners first."

"partner!?"

Luffy was stunned for a moment, because after hearing this special word, even the anger in his heart softened.

However, thinking that the current atmosphere did not seem to be very suitable for discussing the issue of new partners, even a very nervous guy like Luffy did not continue to ask questions, but looked at Nami with concern.

"Don't worry, Nami!"

"I will definitely help you beat the Dragon Pirates away!!!"

Luffy assured, patting his chest.

Although Zoro didn't speak, judging from the determined look in his eyes, he couldn't wait to chop something.

However, at this moment, Chi Hong suddenly interrupted and said:

"Just beating him away isn't enough, Luffy."

"Evil people need to be punished by evil people, and blood debts must be paid with blood!"

"If we don't kill all these fishmen, it will be difficult to appease the souls of those who were persecuted by the Dragon Pirates!"

"What's more, they dare to bully our lovely navigator!"

"Such sins cannot be made up for with their lives alone!"

Chihong helped the crying Nami, caressing her shoulders and said:

"Leave everything to us!"

"Yeah!" Nami nodded vigorously.

And this is when she once again experienced the feeling of dependence after her adoptive mother Bellemere left.

Leaning on the red shoulder, Nami covered her crying face and said silently in her heart:

"Thank you, Red."

……

……

The sea breeze blows and the sun shines in the sky.

Nami's confession did not affect the speed of the sailboat.

Even though it was carrying two tons of fitness equipment on its back, the small sailboat still drew a straight white wave on the sea and headed for the next island.

Finally, just before dinner, they managed to reach the port of the next island.

"Wuhu~ I can finally have a delicious meal again!"

As soon as the boat stopped, Luffy immediately jumped off the bow and shouted loudly.

But at this moment, Nami's faint and plaintive voice came from behind him:

"I'm really sorry for not letting you eat delicious food!"

Luffy was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and quickly turned around and said with a smile:

"Ahaha, no, no!"

"The lunch meal is... quite delicious!"

As he spoke, he also made his signature move when lying, pouting and scratching his head.

Although Nami cried a lot in the morning, since she was the only one on the boat who knew how to play with the food, she naturally still had to complete the important task of lunch for the Straw Hats.

But Nami’s cooking skills are limited after all, and the conditions in all aspects are not up to standard...

As a result, their lunch cannot be said to be mediocre, it can only be said to be tasteless.

Even Luffy, a guy who eats Devil Fruit without batting an eye, could barely finish all the meals...

This shows how terrifying this meal is.

So when he learned that he was about to arrive at the next island, Luffy had been thinking about finding a restaurant to have a big meal.

Unfortunately……

His wish was destined to fail.

Because the island they were on now had only one town...

And it has been completely occupied by the Clown Bucky Pirates - Orange Town! ! !

……

……

"It's so strange, why is there no one here!?"

Walking on the depressed and quiet streets of Orange Town, Luffy clutched his growling stomach while expressing dissatisfied doubts.

The shops on both sides had a dilapidated smell everywhere, and it looked like they had been abandoned for a long time.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Zoro also frowned:

"Something's wrong~"

"I've heard of the name Orange Town. It shouldn't be so downtrodden."

Orange Town is famous for its orange production.

In this world dominated by the sea, oranges, which can provide a large amount of vitamins and prevent necrosis, are a must-have.

In addition, the quality of oranges in Orange Town has always been very high, attracting many merchant ships to come and go. As a result, the residents of this town have lived a prosperous and comfortable life.

But the current scene of silence in Orange Town is completely different from what Zoro had heard about.

Nami, on the other hand, looked at the confused Luffy and the two and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh:

"Ugh……"

"You two really don't know any information at all."

"Didn't you hear that when you were eating in Shieldstown..."

"This town is now occupied by pirates!"

Chihong hit the target at the right time: "Luffy, it seems that your wish for a full meal is going to come true."

"Ah!?" Luffy immediately shouted in disappointment, his eyes instantly lost their brightness.

However, Chi Hong's next words quickly reawakened the light in his eyes.

"Don't be so disappointed, Luffy, open up the situation~"

Red chuckled and patted his shoulder.

"Think about it, even though this town has been taken over by pirates, there are no restaurants open anymore."

"But since that pirate group can achieve this level, its scale must be quite large."

"There must be many chefs in their group."

"As pirates, we can force them to cook for us!"

“The most important thing is that you don’t have to spend any money!!!”

"The food provided by prostitutes must taste delicious!"

"Chihong, I'm impressed by you!"

When she heard the words "no money, free whoring", Nami couldn't help but admire her in amazement.

And Luffy also cheered up instantly: "That's right! Chihong, you are still smart!"

As he spoke, he immediately raised his arms high and said with a smile:

"Okay! Then our next goal is to find this pirate group and let them cook for us!!!"

"By the way, Chihong, do you know where this pirate group is?"

Luffy, who had already regarded Chihong as a know-it-all, asked again.

But at this moment...

boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

An explosion like a roar of thunder suddenly sounded in another corner of Orange Town, instantly attracting the attention of Chihong and others.

"Is there a situation!?"

Sauron suddenly drew out his long sword and prepared to fight.

On the contrary, Chihong looked at the smoke slowly dissipating in the distance, grinned, and answered Luffy's question:

"I didn't know originally."

"But now...I know!"

……

……

at the same time.

Located on a high-rise building in Orange Town, a group of pirates dressed like a circus were cheering and shouting:

"Ba~ji~bang!...B~ji~bang!..."

No need to guess, they should be cheering for the terrifyingly powerful cannonball they just test-fired.

At this time, in the center of the crowd, a man with a conspicuous red nose and an orange captain's hat also laughed wildly.

"Wow ha ha ha ha……"

“I finally made this bucky bomb!!!”

"In this way, with the power of the Devil Fruit and Buggy Bombs, I also have the power to conquer the Grand Line!"

"Wow ha ha ha ha……"

Bucky the Clown laughed arrogantly and then waved his arms.

"Young ones! To celebrate my greatness..."

"We... are having a party~!!!"

"Oh~!!!" A group of pirates cheered loudly.

As a former member of the Roger Pirates, Bucky has perfectly inherited the fine tradition of the Roger Pirates, that is, no matter what happens, it is worth throwing a party!

It is precisely because of this joyful atmosphere that the pirate group becomes more and more like a circus, and more in line with Bucky's identity as the clown.

however……

While the pirates continued to cheer and prepare for the banquet, a voice that seemed to be sucking saliva came from the sky strangely:

"Banquet!? I heard the sound of a party!!!"
