……

……

"My goodness~ No wonder it's a Devil Fruit power blessed by fate, even the Pokémon transformed from the fruit's will are so special..."

Looking at Nika's Will attribute panel, Crimson let out a sigh of amazement.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this little Nika is only level 1 and its stats are incredibly weak; any wild Pokémon could easily crush it.

however……

After witnessing the characteristics of Nika's will, Crimson was completely conquered by this "free" guy!

It can learn all Pokémon moves and can also freely change its type during battle...

Doesn't that mean that this little guy can not only freely choose his fighting style based on the opponent's situation, but also give attribute bonuses to every attack?

In addition, it has the effect of being able to learn all Pokémon moves...

This Freelancer trait, although it doesn't directly boost combat power, has made Crimson incredibly excited.

Moreover... this is just the effect produced under the Pokémon world's mechanics.

According to the description of the trait's effects, the Freelancer trait can be applied to far more areas than just the game world.

"It seems the Straw Hat Pirates are about to gain another powerful member!"

A slight upturn appeared at the corners of her bright red lips.

Countless thoughts flashed into his eyes like a ray of light.

With a snap!

Without warning, the crimson light suddenly dissipated the mental barrier that had imprisoned Nika.

In an instant, a pale pink ball of light flew out directly from the crimson palm, and then two energy arms inexplicably extended from the same proportion of the ball of light, and began to touch and explore the ball of light.

Clearly, the little guy doesn't understand the current situation yet.

After all, just a second ago, it was merely a fruit-driven will acting on instinct.

Now, although it is still very immature, it has successfully broken free from the shackles of the Nika Fruit and its fate, becoming a completely new and independent entity.

"Nika?!"

Just then, an affectionate shout suddenly interrupted Nika's thoughts and successfully startled the little guy who was practically born!

"Ni~"

Like a little elf, Nika suddenly shook a few times, and then immediately found the culprit that had frightened it, turning its "gaze" to Crimson.

In its last remaining consciousness, it remembered how Red had captured it, preventing it from merging with Luffy's soul.

Don't assume that the will of the fruit won't hold grudges!

In Nika's mind, what Crimson did was tantamount to cutting off people's livelihood and taking their lives!

However, because of the Master Ball, after becoming a Pokémon, Nikka developed a strange sense of familiarity with Red, the training device.

At this very moment, in the naive mind of little Nika, two completely opposite emotions were constantly battling, to the point that its sphere began to flicker.

"Hmm? What are you thinking about?"

Unsure whether Nika possessed normal intelligence, Crimson couldn't help but step forward and gently tap Nika's body with her finger.

In an instant, a gentle waveguide force suddenly surged from the crimson fingertips.

The most basic energy from life instantly pulled Nika's consciousness out of her thoughts.

It immediately pounced on the waveguide at the crimson fingertip with curiosity and began to carefully suck on it.

Unlike other Pokémon energy, Aura can not only be used for combat and reconnaissance, but can also be directly transferred into the bodies of other creatures.

Even if one possesses powerful waveguides within their body, they will have no effect if they don't know how to use them...

But that applies to ordinary people.

As the aura from Crimson's hand surged into Nika's body, Nika's body, which had been shimmering with a pale pink light, suddenly flickered violently.

The next second, a blue halo suddenly shone into the crimson eyes, reflecting a strange light.

"This is……"

Upon seeing this, a look of surprise flashed across his flushed face.

He quickly turned his attention back to Nika's attribute interface.

Suddenly, a crimson skill without a move trainer appeared in Nikana's previously empty skill bar—Aura Sphere!

In Nika's attribute section, it has changed from the original [Fairy + Ghost] to [Fighting (temporary)].

"Is this all possible!?"

Although it was expected that Nika's own abilities combined with his Freeman traits would be extremely powerful, seeing this level one kid in front of him instantly comprehend the Aura power that Luffy and his crew took several days to grasp...

A look of surprise involuntarily appeared on her flushed face.

"I'm really looking forward to your future."

After absorbing the crimson waveguide, Little Nika seemed to instantly become a different person, completely forgetting its previous negative feelings towards Crimson, and began to affectionately rub against Crimson's fingers.

……

……

A few minutes later.

"Nika, use Dragon Pulse!"

On a desolate plain, Crimson suddenly waved its hand at a level 5 cat monster in front of it and let out a loud shout.

The next moment, the instant he finished speaking, a thick beam of energy suddenly appeared out of thin air and smashed into the blue kitten that was playing on the grass.

"Meow~!"

Caught off guard, the little cat monster let out a painful cry and flew backward, finally crashing onto the cold rock.

At the same time, a faint, divine light suddenly flashed before Crimson's eyes.

At this moment, a tiny figure appeared out of thin air, enjoying the thrill of leveling up, leaping up and down.

"I'm already level 6?!"

Looking at the cheerful little Nika, a hint of nostalgia inexplicably appeared on his rosy face.

For some reason, at this moment he suddenly had the illusion of playing Pokémon games before he traveled through time.

Even though he had been exploring the game world with his companions for so long, this was the first time he had such a thought.

"Perhaps... the real Pokémon are like Nika now..."

Crimson sighed softly.

Then he shook his head regretfully:

"Unfortunately... this isn't exactly a leisurely time for gaming."

"Little Nika~"

Crimson suddenly spoke again, calling over the delighted little Nika.

"Ni~!"

Little Nika, who was floating in the air, paused for a moment, and then quickly flew towards the location of Crimson.

After nearly half an hour of communication and battle, it has now completely regarded Red as its trainer, or rather, the only person it can rely on in this world.

Although this dependence will soon diminish as the Straw Hat crew gets to know Nika, Red is currently thoroughly enjoying the feeling.

"Alright, little Nika."

Crimson gently patted Nika's round body, then smiled and praised:

"The test is over, you did very well!"

Just now, Red had taught Nikka all the move learning devices he currently knew, and tested them on Pokémon in the wilderness.

Despite the limitations imposed by the Pokémon game mechanics, Nikka still only has four empty skill slots.

Thanks to its strong adaptability and the effect of its Free Spirit ability, it can now use all the attack effects of Pokémon types, such as Fire, Thunder, Torrent, and Ice, even without specific type moves!

Although its effectiveness is significantly reduced due to the lack of move bonuses, it successfully makes Nikka a versatile Pokémon that can be compared to the creator god of the Pokémon world!

Now that the testing is over, Crimson needs to speed things up...

After all, Nika, who is only at the single-digit level, cannot be of any help to the Straw Hat crew in their future journey!

boom!!!

Without any warning, the crimson figure suddenly appeared beside a cat monster, then threw a punch, smashing the poor little guy deep into the ground.

As the machine's experience bar appeared, Little Nika's experience bar instantly rose significantly.

But this is just the beginning!
