One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

This time, even Zoro, who usually likes to contradict him, echoed Sanji's words:

"That's right, Luffy!"

"The lecherous cook is right."

"Although we've just provoked the World Government, with Laboon's power, we don't need to worry about being discovered by them..."

“I don’t think now is the time to risk your life for power.”

Zoro's expression was serious, with a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Luffy, who was being persuaded by the two, smirked and chuckled, saying:

"Haha, how can that be!"

Peng!

Luffy punched directly with his palm, showing that he was determined and full of fighting spirit.

He, who is usually very easygoing, spoke seriously today, which was quite unusual:

"Everyone else has found their way to become stronger, but I, the captain, am still stuck in the same place. This is not what I want to see!"

"Besides, with Crimson here, I believe there won't be any problems!"

"Right, Crimson!?"

Luffy suddenly looked up and grinned at the red figure not far away.

But at this moment, Crimson helplessly pursed his lips, shrugged, and shifted the blame:

Don't look at me!

"I have always disagreed with this plan!"

"I share the same thoughts as everyone else. Besides, you're not without other things to do..."

"I already sensed the fluctuations of MEGA evolution last time. If you seriously awaken your Fairy attribute, I think you can successfully undergo MEGA evolution and directly gain powerful strength!"

"Haha, spare me, Crimson."

Faced with the crimson figure blocking his way, Luffy simply laughed it off:

"Didn't you say that if Zoro's guess is correct, my fairy attribute will be fused with more than just my body..."

"I still have absolutely no idea what to do!"

"You~"

Chi Hong sighed in exasperation.

It's not that he doesn't want Luffy to awaken Gear 5 before Mega Evolution.

Based on the Poneglyphs they obtained and the scenes Red saw in the anime...

The awakening of the Nika Fruit is far too dangerous!

The method for awakening the Nika Fruit obtained from Pangaea City was actually quite rudimentary...

One crucial point is that the ability user needs to be in a state of exhaustion, unconsciousness, and near death!

The historical text explains that...

Only in this way can Nika's will hidden within the fruit's power awaken, allowing the user to unleash the true power of the Nika Fruit.

This can be described as nothing less than the first page of the first chapter of the Sunflower Manual:

To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself!

If the price of acquiring a certain power is death, then what is the value of that power?

So after seeing the information on the Nika Fruit, Red simply threw it aside and ignored it, even considering preventing Luffy from awakening the Nika Fruit.

Anyway, with his cheat ability, Luffy can also become the Pirate King quickly and methodically.

Aren't they just four red historical texts?

Give them three to five years, and Red will definitely be able to build a Pokémon army that can sweep the world!

Then the Straw Hat crew, the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, the Straw Hat Army...

The three armed forces are united!

Who in the world could possibly be their match?

Unfortunately, this was ultimately just the idea of ​​Chi Hong, an outsider.

As a native of the pirate world who has been instilled with the spirit of pirate adventure since childhood, how could Luffy possibly accept such a plan devoid of any dreams?

For him, becoming the Pirate King in this way has lost its most fundamental meaning.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Red finally agreed to Luffy's capricious request and brought him and his crew here.

Luffy's plan was simple and brutal: he would have his crewmates beat him to the point of near death, thus fulfilling the conditions for the Nika Fruit to awaken and become stronger.

Although it sounds incredibly far-fetched, this is indeed what is written in the Poneglyphs, and in the original timeline, Luffy did indeed awaken in a similar way...

So much so that Red thought Luffy might actually be able to awaken Nikka's form in this way.

With the machine's attribute panel, he can monitor Luffy's health in real time, and the attackers are all his own people. Furthermore, Luffy's overall strength is now quite close to the level of the original timeline...

It can be said that they have minimized the danger.

If Nika can't awaken even after all this, then Crimson really feels it's not worth wasting too much time on a Nika form.

This only shows that without Kai's strict discipline and discipline, Luffy's "self-study" alone would hardly achieve the results they wanted.

and……

……

……

"The consciousness of the Nika Fruit?"

"I won't allow any weird stuff to be hidden inside Luffy's body."

Seeing that persuasion was futile and the Straw Hat crew's three strongest fighters had already prepared their fighting stance, a strange light flashed in his crimson eyes.

"Is it really okay to become a laughing idiot?!"

Now that things have come to this, Red naturally won't try to discourage Luffy anymore.

But after silently encouraging himself, his eyes suddenly fixed on something.

In an instant, a faint purple light burst forth from the depths of his crimson eyes like a dying flame.

Immediately, the crimson gaze, enveloped in strange energy, fixed directly on Luffy.

This is the achievement reward he received from the machine after successfully challenging the Ghost-type Elite Four member, Akiko—the power of spiritual vision!

This is the fourth special ability that Crimson has mastered, following the power of ice, the power of aura, and the power of dragon control.

Under the effect of his spiritual vision, he could not only see the ghostly elements in the air that ordinary people could not detect, but also condense them into ghostly power for Brook to absorb and strengthen his soul...

Furthermore, it allows one to directly touch the mysterious soul with a mortal body.

In short, after activating Psychic Vision, Crimson gains the "Courage" trait, which allows her to hit Ghost-type enemies even with normal attributes.

However, the power of vision is more powerful than the courage trait.

Because in his spiritual vision state, he can not only use the power of the material world to attack the soul, but even the damage that other abilities inflict on the soul will be amplified.

It can be said that every punch hits the "flesh" of the body, and every blow strikes the enemy's fatal weakness!

That's why he agreed to Luffy's outrageous plan.

The fact that Zoan-type Devil Fruits possess consciousness has already been confirmed by scientists in the One Piece world.

The awakening of Zoan-type Devil Fruits is actually a process of merging with the fruit's consciousness.

In typical Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities, the will of the fruit is very weak, existing only symbolically.

Therefore, after awakening their abilities, users will at most only have some of the animal's living habits.

but……

The nicar fruit is different!

The will of the Nika Fruit is so strong that it can influence the course of fate!

The World Government has been searching for this fruit for eight hundred years, but each time it has managed to escape due to the fruit's power.

This is enough to show that the consciousness of the Nika Fruit is extraordinary, even among Mythical Zoan species!

For Devil Fruit users, a stronger consciousness means a stronger Devil Fruit ability.

The power of the Nika Fruit is entirely befitting of Luffy's status as the chosen one of destiny.

However, in Scarlet's eyes, he simply could not accept that Luffy's soul had been altered by the consciousness of a mere Devil Fruit!

More than Luffy awakening Gear 5 and gaining greater power, he is looking forward to Luffy awakening the consciousness of the Nika Fruit...

Then, in that instant, he and Brook will go all out to completely remove Nika's consciousness from Luffy's body!

What's the difference between Nika's consciousness, which can still laugh out loud even shortly after his father's death, and a failed artificial Devil Fruit user?

Red will never allow Luffy's soul to be tainted in this way!

……

……

Meanwhile, in the center of the open space.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Luffy, Zoro gave up.

Suddenly, he bent over, the serious expression on his face fading, replaced by a smile.

"Although swinging a sword at one's comrades is a forbidden and despised act in any pirate crew..."

"But since it's the captain's order, there's nothing we can do about it."

Clang!

The gleaming Wado Ichimonji was suddenly drawn, flashing a sharp, cold light through the air, and Zoro skillfully bit it into his mouth.

Immediately following, the Zacian, representing natural thunder, and the eerie, blood-red Sandai Kitetsu were also drawn in succession.
