One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Just then, the evolved Luffy suddenly spread his arms wide, making a bodybuilding-style muscle-flexing gesture, and then shouted happily to his crewmates:

"I feel like I've become so much stronger!"

"Zoro, Sanji, how about we have another spar?"

As he spoke, a glint suddenly flashed in Luffy's eyes, and he made a move to show his newly acquired strength to his crewmates.

Fortunately, Red suddenly intervened, stopping Luffy's eager attempt.

"Please spare them, Luffy!"

"Zoro and Sanji didn't sleep for ten days and ten nights in order to help you awaken Gear Fifth..."

"You should quickly familiarize yourself with the fifth gear and then let the two of them get some rest."

As Red spoke, he focused his gaze on Luffy's attribute panel.

As the level increases, the experience points required to level up also increase exponentially, and Crimson has been focusing on her other companions lately...

So even now, Luffy's level is only 69.

In his normal state, at level 69, his total attributes are over 1300, which translates to roughly the level of an average Yonko commander in the One Piece world.

Of course, this value only represents his most basic physical attributes and does not take into account his strange and unusual abilities.

Red once recorded that... after Luffy enters Gear Fourth: Black God form, his attributes will instantly surge by nearly 300 points, temporarily pushing his total attributes to the level of 1600 points.

It can be said that he has completely entered the ranks of top-tier powerhouses. Even if he were to face Marine Admirals like Akainu or Aokiji, he would not be defeated but would not suffer the same fate as Doflamingo, who was instantly killed.

At this moment, after Luffy successfully entered Gear 5, his strength was further enhanced!

It actually increased his original base attributes by 600 points, bringing his total attributes to over 1900!

Don't be fooled by the fact that the attribute only increases by 300 points from the fourth level.

However, once the attributes reach a certain level, every point increase in attribute value will have an immediate and exponential effect on strength!

According to Red's speculation, Luffy in his original form at this time is already about the same level of strength as when he returned from his training two years later in the original timeline. In fact, because he possesses Conqueror's Haki and the Six Powers, he is even stronger.

Now, he has awakened to Gear 5 and also has the special bonus of Pokémon transformation.

At this moment, apart from the mysterious and unknown Five Elders and Im, Red had no idea who else in this world could be Luffy's opponent!

It is already a miracle that he grew from an East Blue boy into one of the Four Emperors who could stand up to the Five Elders or even gain the upper hand in just three years!

Now, with the help of the Crimson Golden Finger, he has reduced this time to one-third!

In less than a year, a supreme being of the sea was created!

"The Straw Hat Pirates are finally back on track!"

His crimson eyes gleamed with anticipation as he imagined Luffy, with his invincible prowess, defeating all the games in the Pokémon game world and completing a series of missions and achievements…

He could directly become the second invincible member of the Straw Hat Pirates through the machine's rewards!

……

……

"Ah, right..."

On the other side, just as Akane was envisioning the future, Luffy, upon hearing Akane's words, suddenly realized something, and an apologetic look appeared on his face.

"That's true."

"Sorry, Zoro, Sanji, I forgot about them."

"Thank you all for your hard work these past few days!"

Luffy, who was not infected by Nika's will, still has a normal brain and the emotions that a normal person should have.

He knows when to express gratitude and when to apologize, instead of just laughing heartily and acting like an idiot, thinking he knows everything.

Seeing this, the corners of his crimson lips slowly turned up, revealing a satisfied smile.

The power of the Nika Fruit can be said to be a knot in his heart that has existed since he set sail.

After all, no one wants their longtime friend to be suddenly influenced by external forces, developing thoughts and emotions that are not originally theirs.

After this voyage, Red finally completed the last piece of the puzzle, allowing Luffy to awaken the strongest power of his Devil Fruit in a perfect state.

A myriad of thoughts and emotions flashed across his flushed face.

The next moment, a sly glint flashed in his eyes, and he spoke directly to the energetic Luffy:

"However, having just gained new power, it is indeed necessary to adapt to it in advance."

"This way, you won't be caught off guard in future battles."

Red looked up at Luffy with a mixture of amusement and anticipation, and suggested:

"Luffy, what do you think about having Mewtwo as your first opponent after you awaken Gear 5!?"

Mewtwo?

Since there was no more sparring or fighting, Luffy gradually dissipated the Nika power within him, his body slowly shrank, and he returned to his normal form.

But upon hearing the crimson suggestion, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he excitedly clenched his fist.

"Are you talking about that strange-looking but incredibly powerful cat?!"

Luffy suddenly took a step forward, stood in front of Red, and grinned widely:

"Alright! Let that guy be my opponent!"

"Last time, it taught me a lesson I won't forget!"

A fighting spirit flashed in Luffy's eyes.

But Crimson gently pushed him away, smiling as she said:

"Don't worry, we have plenty of time to make you do the hard labor."

"But let's put the fighting aside for now; I need to deal with this guy first!"

As he spoke, Crimson suddenly raised his wrist.

A spherical mental barrier instantly rose from his palm into the air.

"This is……"

The other members of the Straw Hat crew looked puzzled upon seeing this.

Having thoroughly read the Poneglyphs and understood the Red Plan, Robin directly pointed her finger at Nika's will, which was still struggling and thrashing about within the mental barrier.

"This little guy is the danger you mentioned hidden within Luffy's Devil Fruit ability?!"

At Robin's prompting, the Straw Hat crew immediately gathered around.

The timid Usopp hid behind Franky, peeking out to look at the ball of light in the crimson hand, and asked:

"Is this what you, Crimson, meant by turning people into laughing heretics?!"

"Why are you keeping something so dangerous? Why not just eliminate it completely?!"

That's exactly what I meant!

Chopper, whose courage is second only to Usopp, also looked worried, as if he were holding a dangerous bomb in his red hand.

In his panic, he unsurprisingly hid his hands behind Franky's hairy calves, leaving his entire body exposed.

However, in response to his companions' suggestion, Crimson simply chuckled and replied:

"No, simply annihilating it would be too wasteful..."

"I have a better idea than that!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another sphere suddenly appeared in his crimson hand.

The upper half is deep purple, and the lower half is pure white. At the intersection of the two colors, there is a sophisticated button!

That's right!

What Red took out at this moment was the only Poké Ball in the entire Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!/Let's Go, Eevee! world that could be used to obtain Poké Balls from the real world...

Masterball!!!

As a rare item that exists only once in the entire game world, the Master Ball possesses three incredibly powerful effects.

The first two effects apply to Pokémon in the Pokémon world, allowing them to gain more experience, items, and TMs.

The third effect of the Master Ball is...

In the real world, you can designate a target and use it on them to forcibly capture them as a Pokémon!

Red had always felt that the Master Ball's actual effect was rather lackluster.

After all, if the other party acknowledges Red, they could directly become Red's Pokémon and enter the game world.

If the other party does not accept Crimson, even if Crimson is forcibly brought into the game world, Crimson will be unable to do anything to them due to their strong resistance.

Fortunately, Red didn't succumb to short-sighted gains and use the Master Ball on some legendary Pokémon in exchange for rewards from the Pokémon world.

At this moment, he brought out the Crimson Masterball, and his purpose was still obvious.

He planned to use the Master Ball's forced effect to transform Nika's instinctive will into a real Pokémon, allowing it to remain permanently and become a partner or ally of the Straw Hat Pirates!

After briefly explaining the function of the Master Ball to his companions, Crimson didn't hesitate at all and immediately activated the Master Ball's effect, setting its target on Nika's will, which was imprisoned by the mental barrier in front of him.

In an instant, a purple beam of light shot out directly from the Master Ball button that had suddenly opened, passing through the mental barrier and shining on Nika's will.

next second...

Nika's previously chaotic will suddenly paused for a moment, as if it had encountered something incomprehensible, and stood there stunned.

"Success!"

Seeing that the Master Ball could actually target Nika's Will, a look of immense joy flashed in the eyes of Akane and the Straw Hat crew.

Usopp, who already had a tacit understanding with Red, immediately took out a soft sofa from his storage space and placed it behind Red.

His crimson body leaned back and slumped onto the sofa.

Along with it, there was also Nika's will, which was contained within the mental barrier.

This time, however, the mental barrier that had imprisoned it transformed into a protective barrier, preventing Nika's will from unconsciously dissipating into the air as natural energy.

Clearly, Red had already entered the game world with his new Pokémon.
