One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

As long as this world can make them stronger, then it is a good world!

"Rubber rubber... pistol!!!"

Peng! ! !

A fist, as fast as lightning, flew out and slammed into Rada's body without any regard for martial ethics.

Level 46 vs. Level 5!

The outcome of this battle, where the odds were heavily against each other, was already predetermined.

"Squeak~"

Little Rattata, completely unprepared, never expected that Luffy, a powerful fighter, would resort to a sneak attack!

After a mournful cry, Little Rattata's eyes suddenly turned into spiral circles.

This is also one of the characteristics of the game world: all Pokémon do not die, they only lose their ability to battle.

After the Pokémon transforms into its iris form, it means that Red can now capture it with a Poké Ball.

Although you can't obtain Pokémon, Pokémon captured in Poké Balls will become extra experience points, and occasionally items will drop.

It's equivalent to a double experience buff.

"Shall we subdue it, Crimson?"

Luffy, having easily dealt with a small Rattata, looked up and asked.

He had some understanding of some of the game's mechanics.

However, Crimson shook his head: "No need. It's not worth wasting a 200-dollar Poké Ball on a level 5 Rattata."

Let's keep going!

After speaking, Crimson glanced at the information notification that flashed by as the domain disappeared:

Monkey D. Luffy defeated Rattata and gained: +12 experience points.

"Only 12 experience points? That's nowhere near enough to keep up with Luffy's massive experience bar!"

"It seems that the most urgent task now is to advance the storyline and enter the high-level leveling area."

Crimson pondered to himself.

"Luffy's type is Normal and Fairy, which in principle makes him effective against Bug, Ghost, Dragon, and Dark types..."

There are 18 types in total, and there are certain restrictions between them.

To become a powerful trainer, mastering type advantages and disadvantages is a fundamental skill.

As for why Luffy has both normal and fairy attributes, Akane has his own speculations on this.

First, there's Luffy's fighting style. He doesn't use any other energy sources; he only uses his body for the most basic, primal combat...

This is clearly a common phenomenon among Normal-type Pokémon.

Therefore, it's quite normal for Luffy to have a Normal type.

The other fairy attribute is very likely related to Luffy's Devil Fruit ability.

It's not surprising that Nika's Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, which is written as rubber and named after a mythical beast, is detected by the game world as a mysterious and ever-changing fairy attribute.

"but……"

Crimson thoughts paused slightly.

"Before Nika awakened, Luffy's fighting style was ultimately more inclined towards Normal type, but Normal type has no advantage over other types and cannot attack Ghost type..."

Even if Luffy has such powerful regenerative abilities that he can sustain his energy, we still need to think carefully~

"We still need to train Luffy as soon as possible."

"Only a powerful Luffy can help me clear the levels faster and obtain more rewards from the machines!"

A strange light flashed in his crimson eyes.

He didn't believe that his cheat ability could only make those around him stronger.

He has now staked everything on that mechanism he has yet to encounter:

Completing game levels or achievements will earn you rewards that match the game's characteristics.

Crimson had a premonition that his path to becoming stronger would definitely be related to these rewards!

In order to obtain these rewards, he can only rely on his only "Pokémon" at present - Luffy!

We absolutely cannot let this guy let his guard down!

Standing behind, watching Luffy begin to laugh as he ran towards a Popo, a meaningful smile slowly appeared on his crimson face.

"Enjoy this world to the fullest, Luffy."

"I hope you will never tire of fighting and will continue to forge ahead!"

"For your dreams and goals, I will also relentlessly urge you to keep moving forward!"

"Don't bother me, your trainer, when the time comes!"

Chapter 4 Shave! (Please continue reading~)

"You're kidding me!? That's impossible!"

Inside the Evergreen Forest, with a mournful cry from the Caterpillar, the girl in the short skirt standing opposite Crimson immediately showed an expression of disbelief, and then pulled out a bunch of rewards and stuffed them into Crimson's hand.

"As a reward for defeating me, here's 80 rupees for you!"

"Also, here are these three Poké Balls~"

"What a generous young lady!"

Looking at the three Poké Balls worth 600 rupees in her hand, Crimson's expression instantly transformed into that of Nami, with golden light flashing in her eyes.

When he looked up again, the girl in the short skirt he had defeated had already returned to her expressionless state, standing aloof under a tree.

Anyway, thank you for the Poké Ball!

Having just escaped from a group of insect-catching boys without gaining anything except money, Crimson sincerely thanked the girl in the short skirt.

At this moment, Luffy, who had finished the battle, also walked over. He looked at the reward in Akane's hand, then at the girl in the short skirt, and made a strange comment to Akane.

"The people in this world are so strange~ Even though the Pokémon they use are so weak, they still insist on coming over and dragging us into battle..."

"They even give us rewards after we're defeated, making us feel like we're there to rob someone."

"What does it have to do with anything?" Crimson smiled as she put the reward into her backpack, or [bag], and then pointed to something not far ahead.

"Don't worry about the details! There are always some strange things in other worlds."

"And our victory is just around the corner!"

"Don't forget, there's a gym waiting for us to challenge in the next town!"

Red skillfully made empty promises to Luffy.

Luffy was very cooperative. Upon hearing the word "dojo," he immediately started rubbing his hands together in anticipation. However, Akame quickly diverted his attention elsewhere with just a few words.

"A dojo?! I can't wait!"

Three hours had passed since they entered the game world.

As Luffy swept through the enemy ranks, monsters like Metapod, Unicorn, Bug Catcher, and Shorts Boy...

All of it turned into tiny specks of experience points and entered Luffy's body.

All things considered, the total is over a thousand.

Not too many.

After all, the Pokémon levels in Evergreen Forest are just too low.

In other words, you'll gain more experience from fighting NPCs; otherwise, you'll gain even less.

but……

The increase in experience points is comparable to Luffy's gains from 5 or 6 days of training!

Even if you add the time that Red needs to charge the game console, it still more than doubles the speed at which Luffy becomes stronger!

This is just the beginning.

As you progress, the level of wild Pokémon will increase, and the experience points gained from winning battles will also increase exponentially!

At that moment, Crimson seemed to see their bright future!

……

……

"Looks like we're in luck! It seems we're about to get out of this forest!"

After defeating another insect-catching boy, Crimson suddenly noticed a color in his line of sight that didn't match the color scheme of the Evergreen Forest!

As they moved forward, a tall building with an earthen-yellow roof and white walls suddenly appeared before Akane and Luffy.

Unlike the simple passages in the game.

The scale and architecture of this world seem to have been supplemented to some extent by the established settings.

For example, the evergreen forest where Crimson and his companions were now incredibly lush, far beyond what could be explored in just a few minutes in the game.

The passageway building in front of us, which serves as the exit of the Evergreen Forest, looks much more magnificent. Located in the lush green forest, it stands out like a crane among chickens.

Crimson knew perfectly well that beyond the buildings lay their target for the day—Dark Grey City!

Thinking of this, he subconsciously licked his lips, his eyes revealing anticipation and excitement.

The remaining battery power of the game console would probably allow them to play for another two hours.

If they act quickly, they might be able to complete the Pewter City Gym challenge today and get the first machine reward!

Thinking of this, Crimson immediately reminded him:

"Forget about the Pokémon on the roadside, Luffy, time is running out."

"We must speed things up now and try to finish the gym challenge before the game time runs out!"
