One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

And just as the scene of Luffy defeating his formidable rival Rayab with a screen-filling punch came to a close...

Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed before his crimson eyes.

When he regained consciousness, he was shocked to find that he had been kicked out of the game world and returned to the deck of the Merry.

Before him stood the Straw Hat Pirates' Four Heavenly Kings, whom he had personally built—Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp, who barely made up the numbers.

At this moment, Zoro and his two companions, unaware of what was happening in the game world, were looking expectantly at Akane as he opened his eyes again.

"How is it, crimson?"

"Have you... succeeded?"

Despite having full confidence in Luffy's strength, they still couldn't help but feel curious and expectant before hearing Red's announcement.

When his companions asked him questions, the corners of his bright red lips suddenly curled up slightly.

But just as he was about to speak...

A streak of light suddenly appeared before Crimson's eyes, displaying the characters:

[Congratulations to the player who has completed the first playthrough of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!/Let's Go, Eevee!, triggering the system update conditions.]

The update will be completed soon; please wait patiently.

Stay tuned for the new version.

[System update in progress, please wait.]

Chapter 279 System Update (Seeking monthly votes~)

The night was deep, and the moon and stars were few.

On the tranquil sea, the Merry drifted slowly in the still night, a solitary figure like a lonely star on the ocean, accompanied only by a thin cloud in the sky.

On the deck of the Going Merry, Luffy and the others were still excitedly discussing the battle they had just fought.

Apart from Zoro, Luffy and Sanji were both entering their Pokémon form for the first time, and they had a lot to say.

In comparison, Usopp, who was standing next to the three of them but had no idea what Pokémonization was, had completely become a complete idiot.

"As expected, the gap between me and them is still too big!"

While listening to Luffy and his crew talk about their techniques, Usopp remained silent, but he was actually trying to transform into a Pokémon within his body.

However, his basic attributes, which come with his level, and his control over his own will are far inferior to those of Luffy and the others, yet he doesn't even have the slightest sense of mastering the basics.

However, Usopp was not discouraged.

After all, this had long become a daily routine for him.

Even if he were to admit that he was the weakest member of the Straw Hat Pirates, he wouldn't refute it in the slightest.

The only thing is...

He will never stop moving forward.

"Pokémonization... While it might be difficult for me to achieve this in a short time given my talent, there are certainly some exceptionally talented individuals among the insectoid creatures I've bred!"

"The number of Zerg within my body is now sufficient for me to handle a national-level war at any time. It's time to consider cultivating a Zerg king."

Countless thoughts flashed through Usopp's mind, and he was also preparing to put his plan into action as soon as Laboon returned.

no way……

Although the Merry was spacious enough, he was ultimately unable to move the Zerg breeding bases onto it due to his companions' strong insistence.

His storage fruit can only create space for the Zerg to live, but it cannot allow them to move around freely, and naturally it has no reproductive ability.

"I wonder how things are going on with Raab now."

Usopp made a random association.

Meanwhile, Red, the trainer, did not join the Pokémon's discussion.

Because the system update didn't last long, while Luffy and the others were still enthusiastically discussing how to fuse the two Pokémon energies and infuse them into their bodies...

A soft, electronic notification suddenly rang in his crimson mind:

[Ding! System update complete. Welcome to continue the game.]

A dazzling light suddenly flashed before the crimson eyes for a moment.

The next moment, a virtual screen appeared directly in front of Crimson's eyes, and it could be freely enlarged, shrunk, and rotated according to his will.

It was the same machine screen that had previously only existed in the Crimson Sea of ​​Consciousness.

The familiar game interface, the familiar battery indicator, the familiar Pokémon list...

"Update complete!"

Seeing this, Crimson was overjoyed. He stopped listening to Sanji and Zoro's debate about multi-attribute Pokémon transformation and found a corner to start studying the updated system.

The updated machine also seems to have become more intelligent.

Before Crimson could even begin to discover it, an update report appeared before him as a notification, allowing him to understand the content of the update more clearly.

First and foremost, and most obviously...

The machine that used to only exist in Akane's mind can now be manifested in Akane's eyes, and its operation has become more flexible and convenient.

Crimson: Very good, another useless setting.

Crimson continued reading, and the next update finally brought a smile to his face.

"It wasn't a waste of time~" he sighed softly, then carefully studied the machine's update.

Aside from the minor operational updates, this update adds three brand-new features.

The first one is the [main backpack function].

Previously, Red was obtained by extracting items from the Pokémon world, which required a large amount of electricity.

With this feature, once Crimson completes a game world, she can transfer items from her inventory in that game world to her main inventory.

Then, Red, who is in the One Piece world, can directly extract items from the main backpack without any cost!

This wave can be described as an epic benefit for the machine, and also an epic buff for Usopp and Franky!

Originally, due to the limited number of evolution stones and other items, the two had always been restrained in developing Pokémon-based weapons and equipment.

With this main backpack function, they can also continuously obtain resources such as evolution stones from Crimson.

The two will also take their Pokémon-based weapon development to the next level.

In addition, the Straw Hat Pirates will no longer have to worry about healing items such as healing medicine in the future.

At least the money Red had in the game world, if converted into good healing medicine, would be enough for the Straw Hat Pirates to fight five or six Yonko pirate crews.

"Good, good! Keep up the good work next time, Daddy Machine!"

After reading the introduction to the [Main Backpack Function], Crimson immediately clicked his tongue in satisfaction and praised the machine in his capacity as the host.

The second new feature that came with the update surprised him even more...

Offline auto-play function!

That's right!

It's that offline auto-play feature that I often saw in various third-rate mobile games in my past life!

This feature allows Red to send any number of Pokémon into the game world he has already completed by consuming battery power.

The more Pokémon you have in the game world and the longer you stay there, the more battery power you consume.

The Pokémon sent into the game world will be no different from those brought into the game world by Red in everyday life.

Without a trainer's Pokémon, you can't pick up items, earn money, or battle with trainers. You can only battle wild Pokémon to gain experience.

Even so, this feature is a timely help and a bonus for Red, or rather, the Straw Hat crew!

Experience points = Strength!

Although it's still unknown how much electricity a Pokémon would need to run in the background for a day, Red believes that given the system's consistent approach, it won't embarrass him too much.

You're right, right, Daddy Machine?

The offline auto-play function will undoubtedly become a key feature that Crimson will focus on in the future.

Moreover, this feature might be more useful than he imagined.

With a shift in thought, Crimson turned her gaze back to the last function of the machine update.

[Shop Feature]!

Man as his name suggests.

The effect of this feature is that it allows Chi Hong to open an online store system on the main interface of the device at any time.

The in-game store will sell all items that have appeared in the world of Red Crimson Walkthrough.

Even items that are unique in the game world can be purchased by spending electricity.

For example, Master Ball... For example, Mega Stone...

"It seems like all the battery power I've managed to build up is going to be gone."

After only a cursory glance, Chi Hong resisted the urge to chop off her hands and murmured a sigh of relief.

above……

That's all the content of this machine update.

His crimson eyes flashed as his gaze shifted between the three main functions, revealing a thoughtful expression.

The three functions are all very practical and have solved many of the problems that had previously troubled him.

"Things are finally getting better."

Red, who hadn't worried about battery life for a long time, sighed again.
