One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

As a series of sounds of shattering bottles rang out, a look of surprise suddenly flashed deep in his bloodshot eyes.

He had thought that a kilometer would be an obstacle for Usopp at this stage.

Yet, he managed to easily shatter 10 bottles with a homemade slingshot and ordinary lead bullets, all while maintaining a smooth and fluid motion.

"I really underestimated you!" Red muttered in surprise, but did not increase the training requirements for Usopp who had run 1.1 kilometers away to place the wine bottles.

Running is also part of training.

"That's fine. Keeping the initial training simple might help build Usopp's confidence."

The Straw Hat crew has long since mastered Armament Haki, so they no longer need to worry about Perona's negative ghost on Thriller Bark, nor does Usopp need to maintain an extremely negative attitude.

In fact, from their very first conversation, Red had been consciously trying to make Usopp aware of his strengths and value.

Whether it was using him as a bargaining chip in the beginning, or what I just said to him...

They are all subtly telling Usopp that he is an important member of the Straw Hat crew!

The reason Red did this was naturally to avoid a scenario in the original timeline where Usopp left the Straw Hat crew.

Although with him there, Merry would certainly not have suffered such severe injuries again, the fact that the Merry could not continue its journey was ultimately just a trigger.

The main reasons are that Usopp's ability to keep up with the current version of the game and his own guilt.

no way.

Before experiencing the transformation of Enies Lobby, Usopp didn't really have any impressive moves.

Aside from teaming up with Chopper to defeat two Baroque Works executives in Alabasta, he has always been a liability.

So this time, Crimson wants to make Usopp realize it in advance...

Even if you hold back in direct combat, you are still an indispensable member of the Straw Hat Pirates when it comes to providing long-range support!

In the world of One Piece, the sniper is not synonymous with ADC (Attack Damage Carry), but rather the strongest support role that can play a crucial role at critical moments!

And so, with Usopp joining the training team, the entire Straw Hat crew, except for Red, suddenly entered an era of intense competition.

Sitting by the window on the second floor of Kaya's villa, Crimson asked the butler, Melly, to help them prepare some supplies and training materials needed for their voyage, while sipping red wine and watching the Straw Hat crew bustling below.

"Finally, they're all rolled up!"

"That's a good thing!"

Chi Hong smiled slightly, revealing a satisfied expression.

……

……

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed in the Straw Hat crew's tireless training.

That evening at dinner time, Mr. Merry finally brought good news to the Straw Hat crew...

Thanks to the crew's hard work and overtime, the Merry will be able to set sail tomorrow and arrive at the village of Sirob!

Upon learning this, the Straw Hat crew, including Red, all wore excited and thrilled smiles.

That night.

With everyone's consent, Nami and Red once again entered the world of Pokémon.

After two days and nearly six hours of gameplay, Nami's leveling speed has been incredibly fast.

On the first day, Red and Nami continued to bully wild Pokémon in the same grassy area, and it took about an hour to get Nami to level 15.

Then they continued to advance the game.

Because Officer Jenny in the game world had blocked the roads of Cerulean City, Crimson and the others had no choice but to come to a bridge spanning a wide river in the north of the city.

This bridge also has a very impressive name: the Bridge of the Fighters!

Above, there are more than a dozen trainers who love Pokémon battles, waiting for the players to arrive.

However, despite their impressive skills, these people's Pokémon are actually only around level 10-12, and there are hardly any experts among them.

After defeating these trainers, Nami successfully leveled up to level 16.

After that, the experience points required for Nami to level up increased from three digits to four digits, making it more difficult.

After they stepped off the Battle Bridge, a member disguised as a Team Rocket member immediately stopped them and explained that the Battle Bridge was actually set up by them to select outstanding trainers.

Having successfully completed the test by crossing the bridge, the Rockets member immediately wanted to invite him to join the team.

Unfortunately……

No matter how many times Red said "I do" to him, he still stubbornly insisted that Red had rejected him, and then an inevitable Pokémon battle ensued.

After defeating the Team Rocket members, Red and Nami arrived at Route 25.

Here, they met a young man who wanted to find a powerful trainer for Charmander.

The protagonist of the game Crimson naturally earned his approval.

Unfortunately, the machine clearly doesn't want Red to play traditional Pokémon.

After changing hands, the little fire dragon instantly transformed into a TM for moving skills—Spark—and landed in the crimson backpack.

After two hours of playing the game,

Today, Red and Nami have arrived at the end of Route 25 and are facing the last trainer who has come to challenge them!

"Nami, use Mama Shock!"

As always, Red showed no sportsmanship and immediately gave Nami a command the moment the opponent's Pokémon appeared.

The fishing uncle on the other side was clearly a veteran as well, and his reactions were quick:

"King Crab, use Protect!"

Stab it!

A sudden, swift bolt of lightning pierced the void, hurtling towards a crab on the battlefield that held two claws as large as its body.

However, an unusual radiance was seen shimmering on the surface of the giant crab's body.

The lightning that burst forth in the air struck the protective shield formed by the radiance, but ultimately came to nothing.

"Interesting, a defensive Pokémon!?"

"Hehe, perfect timing, isn't this a free money-making opportunity?"

"Nami, use the Treasure Gathering Technique repeatedly!"

"Hey! Don't mistake me for Luffy and his crew! I don't have that kind of stamina!"

While reminding Akane, Nami placed her hands on her forehead, forming an arc-shaped square resembling the center of a coin.

In an instant, a dazzling golden light suddenly shone above Nami's head, transforming into a giant gold coin that slammed down on the giant crab.

As Red expected, the fishing uncle on the other side once again had the Krabby use Protect.

Although there is a high probability of failure when using it continuously, his giant crab is only level 16 and doesn't know many skills.

With Nami launching the first attack, he could only defend.

Immediately afterwards, Nami began to activate her Treasure Gathering Technique one after another.

However, because the money dropped by using the Treasure Gathering skill in the game world is Pokémon currency that can only be used by Red, Nami's face showed no sign of happiness at all.

Even though Pokémon currency can buy many valuable things, it is still very valuable!

but……

"Damn it! So many gold coins and they can't even get into my pocket!!!"

"This is infuriating!!!"

Nami suddenly let out an angry shout.

Finally, just as the fourth Treasure Gathering Technique hit the Giant Kingle, its Protect effect suddenly failed!

One hit sent the giant crab staggering backward.

Looking at the gold coins scattered on the ground that didn't belong to her, Nami felt a surge of anger.

A specially made metal three-section staff suddenly fell into her hand, flashing with dazzling lightning.

"Electro-optical acceleration!!!"

Sizzle!

Golden lightning suddenly burst forth around Nami, and she quickly assembled her three-section staff into a long staff carrying a strong electric current, rushing towards the unsteady giant crab!

Peng!

A perfect shot!

Hit the vital point!!!

Poor giant crab, despite withstanding several rounds of Nami's attacks, ultimately succumbed to the momentum of the first attack.

As the giant crab collapsed and couldn't get up, a faint, almost imperceptible light suddenly emanated from Nami's body.

That is the divine glow that only appears when a Pokémon levels up.

This also means that after clearing Route 25, Nami has successfully leveled up to level 18!

Chapter 48 The Black Cat Strikes! (Please continue reading~)

"Whoo~"

"You've gotten even stronger!"

Although she couldn't see her stats, Nami could clearly feel her physical abilities, strength, and Pokémon energy surging again. She instantly realized…

All the hard work she put in yesterday has finally paid off at this moment!

Nami has been giving it her all these past two days!

During the day, they train in combat moves at the manor, and at night, they battle against powerful Pokémon in the game world.

Trainers on Route 25 use Pokémon that are all above level 15, with the highest reaching level 18!
