Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 473 Grandfather and Grandson Meet (asking for monthly ticket~)

"No? You don't have to practice today, so what do you have to do?!"

"It's not like we haven't seen this before. Is it necessary to compete for a spot with a bunch of new players?"

"This is the first time so many players have come in, and we don't know how stable the server will be?!"

On the Merry, looking at the row of game cabins with a market value of 30 million Baileys that had been moved in at some point in time, as well as the Straw Hat Pirates members already lying in the game cabins, Akane immediately began to complain speechlessly.

Usopp, who had just finished debugging the game cabin for others and was about to step into his own game cabin, smiled awkwardly:
"That's different, Red!"

"Before, you were the trainer and trained us!"

"This time we can be considered the liberated serfs singing their praises!"

"Hey, this isn't how you use this sentence, is it?" Chihong rolled his eyes and muttered in annoyance.

But then he waved his hand, indicating that Usopp could close the game cabin.

As a stream of colorful light flowed, Usopp's eyes suddenly closed, and his consciousness sank into the spiritual world created by the Song-Song Fruit.

"Do these guys really want to experience what it's like to be a trainer?"

"It's a pity that I'm the only genuine trainer!"

Looking at the friends lying in the game room, Chihong raised the corners of his mouth slightly and murmured with a chuckle.

Then he stepped out of the game room and walked towards the room dedicated to storing the "Pokemon Game" server.

As a virtual game that can bring such huge wealth to the Straw Hat Pirates and even has the potential to shake up the world situation, the server of "Pokémon World" naturally cannot be placed in a place like Techno Island where it may be invaded by the enemy at any time.

In the entire Pokémon sea, if there is one place that is the safest, it must be the Merry, which is guarded 24 hours a day by the powerful ship elf Merry and is home to a large number of Straw Hat Pirates members!

As you walk into the server room, a cool breeze instantly hits you.

However, compared with this comfortable temperature, the scene that appeared in front of Chihong's eyes could not be called beautiful in any way.

Inside a huge glass cover, there was a human brain as tall as a person.

On the wrinkled cerebral cortex, there is a distribution of blood vessels with clear patterns, as if there is some magical circle engraved on the brain, which looks full of magical atmosphere.

Vegapunk, who had been waiting here for a long time, didn't say much when he saw Red coming. He just nodded as a greeting and then focused his attention on the big screen in front of him again.

"How about it, Doctor, how many people are online now?" Red walked up to Vegapunk and asked.

Although the game has not been officially launched yet, players who have already received gaming equipment have already entered the game world like Luffy and his friends, quietly waiting for the game to start, ready to enter the game as soon as possible.

Without even looking up, Vegapunk gave a smile that said, "I knew you would ask that," and then said in a suspenseful tone:
"As of 5 minutes ago, more than 12.8 people have entered the spiritual space."

"There are still 3 minutes until the server opens. It is estimated that after the server opens, the number of people online at the same time should be able to reach more than 15."

"15W!? That much!?" Chihong was slightly surprised.

Although their equipment had indeed sold more than 200,000 units, the world of pirates was not the peaceful country he was familiar with after all. Any game with a little fame could have millions of online users.

"I had the same expression as you just now." Vegapunk chuckled, then turned his gaze to the countdown above.

"It's indeed a bit unexpected." Chi Hong continued to ask: "There shouldn't be any problem with the server's load, right?"

"Of course!" Vegapunk's eyes flashed with pride. "With the server's capacity, there won't be any problems even if there are millions or more people online at the same time."

"But it is probably unlikely to achieve that kind of carrying capacity."

Although the planet under their feet is very huge, with an overall volume almost several times that of the Earth, the total population of this planet is far less than that of the Earth.

Even if we include sky islands and unknown islands that may exist deep under the sea, the total population is only a few billion.

Coupled with the unfamiliar environment and various transportation inconveniences between islands, it is almost impossible to reach this level of online population.

unless……

One day in the future, Chihong and his team will really drain all the sea water in this world, making land the majority of the world and creating more living space for humans and other living things.

"It's not completely impossible!" Chihong smiled mysteriously and responded to Vegapunk's words.

The two smiled at each other and waited in tacit understanding for the opening time of "Pokémon World". Three minutes passed in a flash.

In an instant, a bright light suddenly lit up from the cloned brain that served as the server.

This also means that the highly anticipated virtual game "Pokémon World" has arrived.

……

……

wow——

Countless spots of light, carrying the will of all living beings, instantly poured into the spiritual world created by the Gege Fruit.

Because long before this, countless media outlets that participated in the press conference had published the process of entering the gaming world in newspapers, so it didn't take long for a large number of people to complete the naming and receiving of Pokémon from their respective exclusive spaces and enter the place where their dreams began - Pallet Town.

"Go, go, go! Brothers! To obtain the Mythical Beast Devil Fruit!!!"

"Humph, a bunch of unruly people, the champion must belong to me, Count Pierre Cardin!"

"I am the captain of the Giant Wave Pirates. Please give me some respect..."

Tens of thousands of players who had made plans early on suddenly appeared in the small town of Pallet Town.

Even though the program had been optimized as much as possible to allow them to be randomly distributed throughout the town, the influx of tens of thousands of people at the same time still made the place extremely crowded.

However, almost everyone who can rush in first has his or her own ambitions.

Especially after making good plans, almost 80% of the people did not go to collect the "skin" that could only change their appearance, but went straight to the main road of Pallet Town and walked towards the outside world.

Soon, the Rattatas and Popos on Route 01 encountered their first wave of enemies.

Because the fighting method here adopts the same fighting field as the Red Game World, which means that a wild Pokémon can only be challenged by one person.

At the same time, players can also set gambling conditions in the game and conduct PVP Pokémon battles.

All of a sudden, battle areas appeared one after another on Highway 01.

There were even many players who started fighting for the right to fight a wild Pokémon, but the Pokémon was snatched away by a third party who came later.

The entire Highway 01 is in chaos.

When Luffy and others received their own Pokémon and appeared on Route 01, they were suddenly shocked by the chaotic scene in front of them.

"Wow~ Isn't this too lively!?"

Luffy, who had changed into the classic red and white uniform of a trainer, stood at the entrance of Route 01. Looking at the sea of ​​people in front of him, he suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

At this moment, a rough hum suddenly came from beside him:

"Huh~ Of course!"

"After all, this is something that was created by those magical kids from the Straw Hat Pirates. It's only natural that it's so popular."

A burly man, also wearing the red and white trainer's uniform, appeared next to Luffy and snorted proudly.

If you don’t know, you might think he is an internal member of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"That's right!"

Luffy chuckled, a look of praise on his face.

However, the next second, when the two people who had inexplicably spoken to each other turned their heads to look at each other...

At this moment, both Luffy and the person who spoke to him had frozen expressions and stood there in a daze.

"Luffy!?"

"grandfather!!?"

"Why are you here!?" ×2
