Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 527 Are there any masters?

As Vegapunk pressed the switch, a colorful light path immediately flowed along the pipe towards the virtual helmets on the heads of the Straw Hat people.

In the blink of an eye, Luffy and the others' brains were enveloped by a colorful mist.

Their bodies also began to shake to varying degrees.

Chihong looked at the scene in front of him, and began to look forward to how many of his companions would be able to pass this test in a while.

Although each member of the Straw Hat Pirates is different from ordinary people and possesses special skills, Red, who once communicated with Vegapunk, knows how terrible this device is.

Even for Luffy and his gang, it would be a surprise if half of them could pass the test.

This is also one of the reasons why Chihong did not participate in the test.

He doesn't care whether his willpower is strong or weak.

But he was afraid of seeing something in the virtual world created by Sunstone that would bring back his memories.

He had managed to bury those things deep in his heart with great difficulty, and he couldn't let himself be upset by such things.

After all, no matter how rich the scenes of desire that Luffy and the others see are, they are all possible to realize.

But Chihong's desire may never be realized in this lifetime.

There is no going back to Earth.

……

……

Phew! ! !

Just as Chihong was secretly missing her in his heart, a flash of scarlet blood suddenly flashed before his eyes.

Chihong was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked towards the place where the blood appeared. Then he immediately laughed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"This guy Sanji..." Red murmured softly, shaking his head.

No need to ask, looking at the pig-like smile on the half of Sanji's face revealed from the helmet, you can tell that he must have had the dream that every man wants.

Looking at the outrageous amount of bleeding, Chihong quickly said to Vegapunk:

"Doctor, please shut down Sanji's equipment immediately. If he continues like this, he, a fighter whose fighting power is not inferior to that of the Four Emperors, will die from excessive bleeding."

"Okay~"

Vegapunk, who had never expected that someone would be eliminated for such a reason, had a strange expression on his face. He immediately pressed a button and turned off Sanji's virtual device.

The next moment, Sanji's nosebleed suddenly disappeared, and he sat up abruptly.

"No!!! Don't leave me!!!"

Swish! ! !
Because of the violent movement, the helmet on Sanji's head fell off. When Sanji opened his eyes again, he was shocked to see Akane and Vegapunk staring at him with their eyes wide open and an inexplicable smirk on their faces.

Sanji's face suddenly turned red when he realized something.

"Cough cough..."

He reached out and wiped the blood from his nose, then looked around. Seeing that Zoro was still lying there without getting up, a light of "I win" suddenly flashed in his eyes.

However, when he recalled the scenes in his dream, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh~ I really want to live in the dream world forever."

Sanji shook his head slightly and looked up at Dr. Vegapunk beside him and asked expectantly:
"I'm the first one to come out? Does that mean I left the dream first!?"

"Forehead……"

Vegapunk, who had not expected Sanji to be in this situation, glanced at the thought wave curve on the screen, and replied dryly:

"From the data, it seems that your willpower is not a big problem."

"Although you are very addicted and sink into the dream space in an instant, judging from this fluctuation curve, if you are given a certain amount of time, you can indeed get out of the dream on your own."

"And you didn't ask to go back to the dream world right after you came out, which is enough to show that you have a strong willpower."

"Hmm?" Sanji, who originally thought he had a strong will, frowned and the smile on his face disappeared. "So... what's going on? Why do I hear that you have some hidden meaning in your words, Doctor?"

"It's like this, Sanji..." A funny look appeared on Chihong's face, and he took the initiative to help Vegapunk explain:
"Although your willpower is not weak, you may not be able to enter the heaven this time."

"Ah? Why?" Sanji asked in confusion.

Chihong pointed at his body and the window where he was lying.

Perhaps because Sanji was a cyborg with amazing physique, his nosebleed just now actually spurted out nearly ten meters away.

I don’t know what he did in the dream world to make this old virgin bleed so much.

You know, the current Sanji has not experienced the two-year disaster of the human-demon in the original timeline. He can still see the three top beauties Nami, Robin and Uta when he goes out on weekdays.

Under such circumstances, Sanji can still bleed so much that Red almost wants to experience his dream world.

"I don't know if I'll have the chance to make something like Mewtwo in the future." Chihong thought secretly as he looked at the virtual helmet.

The Mewtwo he mentioned is of course not the Pokémon Mewtwo whose race stats are 680 in normal state and 780 in MEGA state.

But it is the advanced technology in "Cyberpunk 2077" that allows people to have an immersive experience!

His thoughts flashed across his mind, but it did not delay Chi Hong's explanation. He continued:

"Given the desires in your heart and your body, if you were affected by the dream energy in the heaven, your nosebleed would fill up your entire protective suit~"

"So for this operation, you should just wait patiently for others to complete it like me!"

"How could this happen!?"

Sanji blinked dully.

He had worried that his willpower might not be as strong as Sauron's, and he had also thought that there was a one in ten million chance that his willpower might not be up to standard.

But he never expected...

He was actually eliminated for such a reason.

"No...don't do that, Red!"

Sanji instantly became like a walking corpse, staggering towards Red, waving his hand.

"If everyone knew that I couldn't enter the heaven because of this reason, I would be laughed at by everyone!!!"

"This..." Chihong looked embarrassed.

"There's nothing I can do!!!"

"Please! Then you can just say... my willpower is not up to par, and that'll be fine."

Red asked: "Uh... is this really okay? To tell the truth, your bet with Zoro is at best a failure. Are you sure you want to wash Zoro's socks for a year!?"

"Yeah!" Sanji nodded vigorously, "It's not like I haven't washed it before."

Anyway, it's just burning all of Zoro's socks, and then buying new ones of the same style and washing them. It's not like washing stinky socks.

Sanji said he could accept it.

"Okay then~" Looking at Sanji's pleading, Red waved his hand and used his super power to clean up all the blood sprayed from Sanji's nose, then said:
"Then you should lie down on the bed in a while and wait for the test results to come out. Then you can get up with those who did not pass the test."

"No problem~!"

Sanji's eyes lit up, and he immediately lay back down obediently, and asked Vegapunk to turn on the light on his helmet so that he looked exactly like the other people in the dream world.

"What a day~" Chihong sighed helplessly with a chuckle.

Immediately, he and Sanji, who pretended to be immersed in a dream, waited quietly for the other companions.

Soon, some of the companions woke up one after another.

What Chi Hong didn't expect was...

The first person to wake up was not the most powerful Luffy or Zoro, but the oldest in the entire pirate group - Brook!

"Yohohoho~"

"It's such a haunting dream~"

Following a classic laugh, the helmet on Brook's head suddenly went out, and he slowly sat up from the bed with a big afro, and put on his top hat like a gentleman.

"Red, I should have passed the test, right?" Brooke asked calmly as always.

But the sharp-eyed Chihong accurately saw the flash of tears in his empty skull eye sockets.

The leaping fire of the soul exudes a faint sadness, but is covered by the hope that bursts out in an instant.

Perhaps in the dream world, Brook should have a happy ending with his friends.

but……

"As expected of a guy who can immerse himself in loneliness and solitude for 50 years without having a mental breakdown~"

Chihong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although the order of waking up cannot fully represent the strength of a person's willpower due to the different speeds of time in the dream space, being able to wake up before Luffy and Zoro...

Brook's willpower might really be the strongest in the entire Straw Hat Pirates.

“Perhaps we can provide special training for Brook in this direction in the future.”

"When it comes to navigating the universe, willpower is definitely T0 in terms of importance."

As a trainer, Chihong pondered in his mind out of habit.

But after thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, Chihong immediately pretended that he had not noticed anything and smiled as usual.

"Not bad, Brooke!"

"You managed to escape from the dream world before Luffy and Zoro. I'm going to have to laugh at them for you later."

"Yohohoho~ Let's not do that, First Officer!"

"I don't want to be dragged by Luffy to compete with me in mental strength every day."

"Hehe~"

The two smiled at each other, and it seemed that a lot of conversation was completed in their eyes, but in the end, they fell silent tacitly, and everything was implied.

Time passes slowly.

A few minutes later, Luffy and Zoro emerged from the dream world almost at the same time and woke up quickly.

Seeing Sanji still lying on the machine beside him, the nostalgic look in Zoro's eyes was suddenly covered with a hint of joy of "I won".

Before he could speak, Luffy next to him started to complain:

"What? This machine doesn't work!"

"Red, the universe is not as interesting as you say. Why are they all fighting with Devil Fruit users?"

"what?"

Akahei was slightly stunned, glanced at Luffy's virtual device, and suddenly realized something.

He quickly turned his head and looked at Vegapunk.

And Vegapunk obviously didn't expect that there would be another master after Sanji.

He quickly adjusted the detailed data of Luffy's equipment and began to check it.

It stands to reason that the dream world created by the sunstone will reflect the strongest desires in people's hearts. Even people with strong willpower should have a slight attachment to the dream world after breaking free from it.

Even if a person has an invincible willpower and does not linger in the dream world, he should just be indifferent.

Vegapunk had never expected Luffy to experience negative emotions like boredom.

Soon, after viewing Luffy's data, Vegapunk slowly revealed a hint of understanding, but said in a somewhat inexplicable way:
"It seems that it is because Luffy's desire is too great, but there is a lack of sufficient information support, which results in Luffy still unable to guarantee absolute attraction even under the power of the Sun Stone."

"Interesting~ I never thought that there is such a way to crack the Sunstone dream world!"

After the explanation, Vegapunk's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he immediately crossed his fingers and saved Luffy's data, preparing to study it further later.

But Luffy was confused by Vegapunk's explanation.

And Akahira's eyes flickered slightly. After thinking for a while, she understood why Luffy said the word "boring".

To put it simply, Luffy's dream is like that of a little boy who has no idea about the body structure and related knowledge of the opposite sex, and whose greatest desire is immaturity. He meets his favorite girl in the dream world, but because he doesn't understand anything, even in the dream world he just rubs against the girl as much as possible.

It was fine once or twice, but after a long time, the bored little boy's desire escalated, but because he didn't know how to proceed to the next step, the dream world eventually became boring.

Luffy had never learned any knowledge about the universe. He only heard Akane say that the universe was very mysterious and a more exciting place for adventure than the sea, but he didn't know where the excitement was. In the end, when his desires could not be satisfied, he took the initiative to leave the dream world.

In other words, even without any protective clothing, there is a high probability that Luffy can move freely in the dream space of heaven.

Should we say that he is worthy of being the protagonist of this world?
It is estimated that even Luffy in the original timeline might be immune to the dream space and have the opportunity to access the main text of Luffy's history because he doesn't know what to do after becoming the Pirate King.

"So... is Luffy's willpower high or low?"

Chihong muttered in his heart.

Just when Chihong wanted to ask Vegapunk, two voices that sounded like warnings sounded from the side.

Robin and Nami also woke up from the dream space one after another.

Compared with Luffy, Brook and others, Robin and Nami's eyes are particularly rosy, with crystal tears faintly flowing in them.

Having guessed roughly what they would dream about, the red gentleman handed the prepared tissues to the two women in return for two "thank yous".

Although the dream world is very beautiful, Robin and Nami, who have experienced countless darkness since childhood, still showed amazing willpower and were not swallowed up by the beautiful dream space.

This also made Chihong realize that perhaps the willpower of his companions was stronger than he thought.
