Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 495 The goal is - the sea of ​​stars!
The Caterpillar that evolved through the power of will unexpectedly inherited the Pokémon's unique evolutionary rules and successfully evolved into Metapod.

This news might be the best news that Red had heard in the past three days, except for the successful production of the Space Pirate Life Card and its floating away.

I can only say that the power of vows is truly strong.

Perhaps in the setting of One Piece, the power of will is equivalent to the Hogyoku in Bleach and the Otsutsuki bloodline in Naruto...

It’s all omnipotent power, whatever you want will come true.

Even the natural laws of other worlds can be completely simulated.

This was something Chi Hong had not expected...

The fundamental rules of the pirate world are actually quite people-oriented.

Compared to the above two major events, the recent news that the Straw Hat Pirates are preparing to conquer Elbaf, which has been a hot topic on the sea, has attracted little attention within the Straw Hat group.

……

……

"What's wrong, Chihong? What's the matter that suddenly called us over here?"

In the meeting room of the Merry.

Luffy and the others pushed the door open one after another, sat down in their usual seats, and then asked curiously to Akahaki who had sent them a mental private message.

But Akane just smiled without saying anything, and waved mysteriously at Luffy, signaling him to be patient.

"Don't worry, believe me, you will jump for joy when you hear this good news."

"But for such an important moment, of course we should wait until everyone is gathered together before we discuss it."

"Okay, it's mysterious~"

Luffy grumbled and complained.

But then it fell limply on the table like slime.

He was addicted to the world of games and hadn't practiced properly for nearly a month. Now that he had just started to practice, he was obviously not used to the boring practice life.

To put it simply...

The goal has become clear, and it can be accomplished by just following the steps, so much so that Luffy and even the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates have become lazy.

Perhaps only Zoro and Sanji can still maintain high-intensity training.

Even during the period when the Straw Hat Pirates were obsessed with the "Pokémon World", the two of them did not slack off at all.

Games are only played as a way to relax during free time during cultivation.

After all, Hawkeye has now successfully mastered the complete Pokémon form, and with his already extremely sharp swordsmanship, his strength has been greatly improved.

Although the story of the new generation of the world's greatest swordsman Roronoa Zoro has begun to spread on the ocean due to the previous events on the Celebration Island, Hawkeye did not completely deny this incident.

But the fact is...

In the competition half a month ago, Zoro was defeated by Hawkeye again.

Although his progress is remarkable, he is still a long way from the Pokémon-ized Hawkeye.

As for the rumors outside about the world's greatest swordsman, the two parties involved didn't care at all.

For Hawkeye, if Red had not also given him the power of Pokémon and selflessly taught him all the techniques related to the use of Pokémon power, such as Pokémonization...

He is no match for Sauron anymore.

Therefore, he did not have any aversion to the outside world calling Zoro the world's greatest swordsman. Instead, he felt that it was as it should be.

As an ultimate swordsman, he doesn't care about that little bit of fame.

But at the same time, since he also obtained the power of Pokémon, although he can't be said to be on the same starting line as Zoro, after all, Zoro still has Red who takes him into the Pokémon world from time to time to level up...

But he would never allow himself to be defeated by Zoro so easily.

The name is the name, the fact is the fact.

This is his pride as the former world's greatest swordsman!

Without truly defeating Hawkeye, Zoro naturally could not indulge himself and had to practice almost without interruption.

At the same time, this also makes Mingming want to travel around the Pokémon world with Miss Nami, Miss Robin, Miss Uta, and a bunch of young, beautiful, and rich lady trainers in the Pokémon world...

But in order to prevent himself from being left behind by Zoro, Sanji knew that he had to let go reluctantly and did not dare to relax at all.

This also made his hatred for Zoro extremely intensified, as he actually rolled it up in front of him when he was happiest.

Although Zoro had never intended to get involved with him, what does it matter?

No matter how wrong it is, it’s all the fault of the green algae head!

It was precisely with this kind of hatred that Sanji's training during this period was very effective, and the experience points he accumulated in one month were even more than in the previous two months.

Perhaps under the stimulation of strong emotions, his bloodline factor came into play again, giving him a not-so-small cheat.

It is precisely because of this that, in a state of extreme anger, Sanji finally mastered the awakening ability of the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit!

Now Sanji's ability of the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit can already affect the surrounding environment.

Although the range is not large, the steak that originally took 5 minutes to fry can be cooked in just 5 seconds with the ability of the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit.

That's right, just as Akane had promised Sanji at the beginning, after the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit was developed to its extreme, it actually unleashed a power similar to that of controlling time.

However, after the awakening of the Haste-Hat Fruit, the most effective improvement for Sanji was not the increase in his combat power, but rather the greatly reduced time needed to provide three meals a day for the Straw Hat Pirates. It also allowed some dishes that originally required a lot of time to prepare to become everyday food and be served on the table.

Maybe Sanji was born to be a chef.

……

……

As Uta and Brook, who were recording a new song for "Pokémon World" in the studio, walked into the conference room, all 15 members of the Straw Hat Pirates, including Merry and Lab, were in front of the round table.

Everyone looked at Chihong in confusion, wondering what big event this time was that required all of them to discuss together.

At this moment, Chihong didn't keep the secret any longer. He just raised the corner of his mouth and slowly took out a piece of paper from his pocket. The paper kept floating upwards, as if trying to escape from Chihong's palm.

"Everyone, remember what I said before... that there are other creatures in the universe!?"

"Um!?"

The Straw Hat guys, who were originally not very excited, instantly pricked up their ears when they heard Red's ordinary opening remarks.

Robin and others focused their attention directly on the paper in Chihong's hand.

They immediately recognized that what Chihong was holding in his hand was a life card.

"Remember! Of course I remember!"

The honest Luffy nodded repeatedly, and even showed a yearning look and said with emotion:
"I can't help but feel excited when I think about the possibility of other creatures and various planets as big as our world in that mysterious starry sky."

Luffy clenched his fists and suddenly turned his head to look at Red.

"Why are you suddenly talking about this, Red!?" "Is the time ripe?!"

Red has been using the excuse that the world is not mature enough to postpone the date of the final battle between the Straw Hat Pirates and the World Government, so now what Luffy wants to hear most is "the time is ripe" from Red's mouth.

Because that would mean they are one step closer to exploring the starry sky!
"It's the timing~"

A gleam of light flashed in the red eyes as he looked at Luffy's attribute panel that appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Above the level column, there is already an obvious number 89 engraved in it.

The total attribute value has already exceeded 1700 points.

It can be said that Luffy today is able to have a head-on battle with Teacher Gai just based on this basic strength.

Not to mention, Luffy also possesses the power of Nika, the power of Pokémon, and even MEGA evolution, Dynamax and other extraordinary means.

And the experience bar that is almost full also indicates that Luffy is about to usher in another huge increase in strength.

In fact, Akane also felt that with Luffy's current strength, he should be invincible in the world.

Just thinking about the Naruto from the neighboring crew, at the last moment before the finale, they raised the battle level by several levels.

The original ninja war of wits and courage suddenly turned into a battle between gods and demons that split mountains and seas.

Red was also worried that the original plot of One Piece would suddenly end with something like this, pulling out a remnant of Joy Boy from Hades out of thin air, and then giving its final ripples, ah no... Haki to Luffy and Zoro...

This made the two of them instantly invincible, but in the end they still fought Im to a draw... and won by luck.

According to the normal plot of the anime, this is not impossible.

After a flash of thought, Red finally shook his head, "The time is not right, Luffy..."

Before Luffy could show a disappointed look on his face, he immediately said:

"But to some extent, defeating Im and our exploration of the starry sky are not in conflict..."

"Isn't it?"

"what?"

Luffy opened his mouth in confusion, his brain reacted quickly, but he found that he could not react to the meaning of Akane's words at all.

However, Robin's eyes flickered, and he suddenly interrupted at this time:

"So, Chihong, you have found a way to explore the starry sky, right!?"

As she spoke, her eyes were always focused on the life card in Chihong's hand.

If it is really as she guessed, then this time the Straw Hat Pirates are really going to do something that will leave a mark in the history of the entire planet!
They will create history... and the future at the same time!

Hearing Robin's question, Chi Hong chuckled without commenting, and then, under the confused and expectant gazes of his companions, he said bluntly:
"That's right!"

"Just a few days ago, I went to the moon and got some information about life on other planets in the universe."

"And made this life card!"

"Although I don't know if the Life Card is still effective in the universe, this may be our best chance to come into contact with cosmic creatures!"

"I... don't want to miss this opportunity."

"Luffy, and everyone..."

"You guys don't want to either, right?!"

Gudong~
Under the gaze of the burning red eyes, Usopp and the others swallowed silently.

Originally they were still shocked at how Chihong could make such an outrageous thing as "a trip to the moon" sound as easy as visiting relatives during a holiday.

But when they heard what Chihong discovered later, they were so shocked that they were stunned.

Not everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates is looking forward to the space adventure.

For example, Uta’s biggest wish now is to let her singing bring joy to more people.

But cosmic beings are also human beings.

If it is true as Chihong joked during dinner, her singing will be transmitted to the entire galaxy through various strange devices...

It’s so cool just thinking about it!

By then, she will be the number one singer in the starry sky!

If this is combined with the power of the Song-Song Fruit, I wonder how terrifying it would be! ?

The Demon King of the Song, Totomjika?
It is just the product of the spiritual power of the previous Song-Song Fruit users who went crazy while studying songs...

It’s better not to try to offend the number one singer in the starry sky!
Thanks to the research that the scientific research team occasionally found time to do, the Straw Hat Pirates already knew everything about Totemjika, the Demon King of Song.

It seems to be a powerful and invincible existence, but in fact it is just bullying the pirate world because there is no special method to train mental strength.

In front of the Straw Hat Pirates who have a large number of powerful people with super powers, they are just some small fry.

After understanding it, it was stored in the Devil Fruit file and became just a piece of text in the introduction details of the Song Song Fruit.

"Very good!!!"

After hesitating for a long time, Luffy finally understood what was going on. He slammed the table, stood up excitedly, walked towards Akane, and looked at the life card in Akane's hand with excitement.

Knowing that although Luffy is usually unreliable, Akahira will never fail at the critical moment, she smiled slightly and handed the life card in her hand directly to Luffy.

Feeling the slight force of the life card trying to break free, Luffy's eyes suddenly burst into golden light.

"That means, Red, we can now directly explore the universe and come into contact with other creatures in the universe, right!?"

"That's right~"

Chi Hong admitted it at first, but then changed his tone:
"But until then, we have to take care of everything about our planet."

"Don't forget, the world we live in is facing the disaster of an impending flood!"

"We can't just walk away and abandon everything until these things are completely resolved."

"Uh~ you're right."

Luffy, who was forced to calm down by Red, blinked and finally nodded in approval.

But then, a bright smile appeared on his face.

"But I believe, Chihong, you should have already dealt with these things, right!?"

"Hey, don't put all the blame on me~"

Akane gave Luffy a displeased look, but in return he got a smile from the other party that he was used to.

Relying on Red has long been an inertial problem among the Straw Hat Pirates.

But what's the matter?
Your partner is so reliable that others can’t rely on him even if they want to!

Luffy once again turned his expectant gaze towards Red.

He believed that since Chihong organized this meeting, it proved that he had arranged everything!
