One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"The Nefit clan will never forget your great kindness!!!"

As he spoke, glistening tears began to well up in the old king's eyes.

No one knows the despair and helplessness he felt when he learned that the person who had brought disaster to his country and people was someone they could never defeat!

If it weren't for the Straw Hat crew, who knows how many more people his country would have lost.

But what moved him even more was...

During this time, even though Red was extremely busy, he still dispatched thousands of Water-type Pokémon, led by members of Baroque Works, to various disaster-stricken cities in the Alabasta Kingdom...

It brought rain and dew to the drought-stricken areas, saving many people from the brink of death due to lack of water.

Although Red is just a pirate, everything he has done for the Kingdom of Alabasta during this time has been far more useful than what the king himself has done!

"Haha~ You flatter me, Your Majesty Cobra!"

Faced with such politeness from Cobra, Crimson immediately responded humbly.

He immediately stepped aside, pointed towards the interior of Pokémon Park, and guided the way:

"Alright, everyone, please don't stand here anymore."

"Since you've come all this way, let me give you a proper introduction to the Pokémon Paradise we've created!"

“That’s very good…that’s very good…” Cobra nodded repeatedly.

However, the next moment, he turned his gaze directly to the Blastoise statue behind him and asked a question that had troubled the country for many years:

"Lord Crimson, how exactly did you manage to create so much water in this desert?"

"Ah...you mean this~"

Crimson smiled calmly: "That's simple!"

"All you need is a skillful partner like Usopp, and a water stone containing a lot of water-attribute energy!"

"A water stone?!"

Cobra's expression of confusion instantly became even more pronounced.

Vivi, standing to the side, suddenly clapped her hands in realization: "I see~"

"Is this a new gadget that Usopp created!?"

"I never expected that after the Leaf Stone, he would even make use of the Water Stone, an evolution stone that has nothing to do with his type."

"No! So there were clearly ice crystals in the mist that just fell!"

"So it's a combined use of water stones and ice stones!"

"clever!"

Seeing that Weiwei had guessed everything in an instant, Chi Hong praised her without reservation.

But judging from the hint of pride hidden deep in his eyes, it was more that he felt gratified and proud of Usopp's masterpiece than that he was praising Vivi.

Of course, besides Usopp, Wapol's existence is also a crucial factor.

only……

Who would attribute credit to someone who's just a tool?

"As expected of Usopp!" Vivi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

But Crimson immediately added, "That's not all!"

"Usopp has now mastered the energy transmission methods of all evolution stones, created various external devices, and used them on the four gates of Pokémon Park."

"The entrance to the Blastoise leads directly to the relaxation area, so the water jet effect will make people feel refreshed even under the scorching sun."

"And the Charizard entrance leads directly to the Pokémon battle area, so what erupts there... is a blazing flame that will ignite fighting spirit and select the strongest!"

"After entering through the Venusaur entrance, you will be taken directly into the Wild Area where Pokémon live. There, the Venusaur's petals constantly emit a life-giving fragrance, which helps people who enter the Wild Area to calm down and not be impatient."

"The Pikachu entrance leads to the park's commercial street, but since not many businesses have moved in yet, it's completely empty."

"As for the entrance over there, it emits a weak electromagnetic wave to numb people's brains and make them more prone to impulsive spending."

"Of course, whether this effect is real or not remains to be seen."

"After all, the Thunder Stone doesn't have the hypnotic effect of the Psychic type."

"Of course, all four areas I mentioned above are chargeable..."

"Or rather..."

"From the moment you step into the Pokémon Park, consumption begins imperceptibly."

Crimson smiled slightly and introduced himself to Cobra and the others frankly.

After all, he put in a lot of effort, even spending a significant amount of his game time on configuring moves for his Pokémon, not only to test whether the inherited move system would work in the real world...

More importantly, they wanted to create a source of funding for the Straw Hat Pirates.

Looking at all the major pirate crews in the world, they either have their own territories and industries like Doflamingo, or they are like the Whitebeard and Red-Haired Pirates, whose crews cover a large number of islands and countries, and collect "protection fees" at fixed times and locations.

however……

Given the Straw Hat crew's style of doing things, neither of these two options is within their range of choices.

So Red had no choice but to pin his hopes on this Pokémon park.

After all, in the future, whether it's upgrading the Going Merry to give it the power to rival the warships of the New World, modifying Laboon's internal structure to make his internal space more stable, or building more research bases for Usopp so he can create some more amazing inventions...

None of these items will be a small expense.

In addition, given Luffy's tendency to readily pay for parties out of his own pocket, if Red doesn't prepare in advance and create revenue streams for the Straw Hat crew...

When they really need money in the future, they will be in dire straits.

"Come, Your Majesty Cobra! Let me show you in detail the fun of Pokémon Paradise..."

Considering that Pokémon Park would need Cobra and Vivi's care and promotion after they left, Red was extremely enthusiastic this time, pulling the bewildered Cobra towards the interior of the park.

For the next few hours, Cobra was like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden, wandering around the Pokémon Park from top to bottom and inside to outside!

The more he wandered around, the more amazed he became.

The more he walked around, the more frightened he became!

In particular, he saw familiar desert animals in the wild suddenly breathe fire, spew water, and even take to the air or burrow underground...

Furthermore, whether it's through the lure of delicious food or the conquest of battle, as long as you can gain their approval, you can spend Berries to bring them out of the wild and make them your own pets.

For a moment, Cobra seemed to see the wondrous scene of Alabasta Kingdom a few years later, where everyone had one or even several magical creatures.

But is this really a good thing for the Alabasta Kingdom, which has become accustomed to peace and tranquility?

Chapter 161 Tina's feelings are complicated (Seeking monthly votes~)

"That's right, Crimson!"

"I haven't seen Luffy and the others in ages?"

"Aren't they at Pokémon Park right now!?"

……

……

After touring the Pokémon Park and getting a general understanding of its facilities and functions, Red led Cobra and the others back to the recreation area.

Although it is not officially open to the public yet, it already has a full staff.

Just then, the crackdown on casinos in the rainy area caused many employees who worked at casinos to lose their jobs instantly.

Red, on the other hand, went all out and recruited these guys who were used to the service industry to work at Pokémon Park, where they were in charge of reception in the leisure area.

Then Mr. 1 and his team sent some capable men to act as security guards in the park or patrol the wilderness area.

After taking a general look around the Pokémon Park, Vivi, sipping her mango pomelo sago, asked Red about the other Pokémon.

"Huh? You mean Luffy and his crew?"

A gentle, harmless smile appeared on his ruddy face as he replied:

"Actually... you already saw them!"

"Huh?" Weiwei paused for a moment, her eyes beginning to show a thoughtful expression, as if she was recalling something.

But after a while, she frowned slightly: "I don't remember ever seeing them?"

"Hahaha..."

Crimson smiled proudly: "This is all thanks to the specially made magic mirror created by Wapol!"

As he spoke, he slowly raised his arm, and a strange spatial wormhole appeared in front of him and Weiwei.

Crimson then addressed Cobra and the others:

"Then, Your Majesty Cobra, please rest here for a while!"

"I'm taking Vivi to catch up with her friends!"

"Eh~ wait a minute, Lord Crimson!"

Seeing that Crimson was about to leave, Cobra, suddenly remembering why he had come here, quickly called out:

"Lord Crimson, that Marine Captain Smoker should still be with you, right??"

……

……

"Strange~ How did the Navy find this place?!"

With a puzzled look in her eyes, Crimson stepped into the dimensional cave and led Vivi back to the Pokémon battle area.

But this time...

What Vivi had initially perceived as a desolate and undeveloped Pokémon battle area had now transformed into a series of enormous dueling arenas.

Each arena has a distinct style: lakes, forests, deserts, wilderness, snowfields...

It's hard to imagine that someone could create so many different natural landscapes in the same area at the same time.
