One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Roger that!"

Little Mary responded softly to the instruction.

The next second, a bright white, mysterious light, like the light of evolution, suddenly emanated from her body, and her body began to transform.

In the blink of an eye, the originally huge ghost loli transformed into a giant warship hovering behind Crimson.

Ship Spirit Little Merry transforms into the battleship Merry!

boom!!!

Hot, fiery meteors rained down on the exterior of the Merry, the sparks bursting forth as dazzling as fireworks.

however……

When the dust settled and the commotion dissipated, Chibana's eyes widened in astonishment as he stared in disbelief at the seemingly unscathed Merry.

"What...what's going on?!" he asked in shock.

It's both asking why the Merry wasn't damaged and why the ship spirit suddenly turned into a warship.

Although Pokémon come in all sorts of forms, even refrigerators and washing machines can become Pokémon, so it doesn't seem so strange that a ship could become a Pokémon...

But someone like Little Meryl still opened his eyes.

"Hehe, sorry, I can't answer that question either." Chi Hong spread his hands and smiled helplessly.

After all, he didn't know why the machine would set up two forms for Merry.

In its ship form, the Merry, after multiple material upgrades, possesses an external defense capable of withstanding attacks from the Seven Warlords of the Sea without sustaining any damage.

The meteor shower of Nyanmei Dragon is nothing special!

"Go, little Meryl!"

"Let the guys of this world see the vastness of the ocean!!!"

Sizzle!

The battleship Merry suddenly adjusted its bow, and a long, thick cannon barrel extended from below the bow.

Suddenly, a blinding flash of lightning burst forth from the deep, dark muzzle, expanding rapidly, its intense light seemingly threatening to engulf all the darkness in the world.

Qibana stared wide-eyed at the ever-gathering energy, completely bewildered and unsure of what to do.

Dodge!?

Are you kidding me?!

In its Max Mode, the Merry's cannon caliber is almost half the size of the arena, so where can they possibly hide?

Moreover, mobility is by all means a weakness of the Ninja Dragon.

"Sticky Dragon, use Protect!!!"

Having no other options, Chibana finally issued the order in desperation.

The next moment, the massive energy surge pierced through the body of the sticky dragon, pressing it firmly to the ground, leaving it no chance to struggle.

As expected, Qibana's Goomy Dragon could not withstand the barrage of fire from the Ancient Weapon Pluton Technology and lost its ability to fight.

The Going Merry's core energy source has long since changed from Enel to the Mother Spark, which can provide unlimited energy.

With the ancient weapon Hades' giant cannon technology, it's safe to say that if the cannon barrel material hadn't been upgraded to its optimal state, Little Mermaid would have already achieved the goal of destroying an entire island with a single shot!

Even so, the Merry's power at this time should not be underestimated.

Superb ship defense, flexible operational range across land, sea, and air, plus artillery fire that, while requiring some time to build up, possesses overwhelming power...

Crimson thought that even if Hades were to reappear, he couldn't possibly be much stronger than the Going Merry.

As for Enel, the user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit who was hypnotized?

It may be a bit cruel, but after he lost his value, Crimson sent him directly to the research island to contribute to the research projects there and continue to serve as his tool.

Perhaps the day when the Straw Hat Pirates no longer need him will be the day he is truly free.

However... compared to Enel's atrocities on Skypiea and the many Skypiea residents he killed, these punishments, which caused no harm other than humiliation, are nothing at all.

Back on the battlefield, facing the defeat of the Nume Dragon, Qibana's expression finally changed slightly.

Next, he pulled out a Fire/Dragon type Turtonator, a Ground/Dragon type Flygon, an Electric/Dragon type Ampharos, and his ace Pokémon, a Steel/Dragon type Duraludon.

Unfortunately, while these Pokémon are incredibly powerful, they all share a fatal weakness: extremely poor mobility!

Crimson and Little Mermaid didn't bother with any fancy maneuvers; they simply took them all out with a single shot.

Although, judging from their stats, each of them is far stronger than the Merry.

But within Merry's body, there is not only the energy and physique of a Pokémon, but also the top scientific research power of the One Piece world!

Amidst the roar of artillery fire, the fate of these Pokémon could only be to fall into a deep, resentful coma.

This method is a bit too underhanded, but Crimson didn't bring Meryl here to practice her combat experience anyway, so who cares?

And so, Raihana, the mighty Dragon-type Gym Leader, was defeated by Red in this way.

Unfortunately, as gym leaders, they do not hold the title of Elite Four member. As a result, even though they are comparable to the Elite Four in other games, they still cannot bring Red the achievement reward of defeating an Elite Four member.

Fortunately, Crimson no longer cares about those achievement rewards.

"Next, it's time to challenge for the championship, right?"

After finishing the pointless dialogue, the crimson eyes swept across the audience, looking towards the figure in the center of the stands.

The champion of the Galar region—Leon!

Based on the effect of the achievement "We are the champions!", as long as he defeats Leon again, he can carry 3 Pokémon with him at the same time, greatly improving the efficiency of leveling up.

only……

Facing the thunderous cheers and anticipation from the surrounding audience, Crimson murmured softly:

"I remember……"

"The storyline of Mugentsuna seems to have occurred before the battle with Champion Leon."

"That means now!!!"

As if in sync with Crimson's thoughts, the entire arena suddenly shook violently the moment he raised his head.

The once clear sky suddenly turned gloomy.

In the sky, a huge pinkish-purple energy vortex, which only appears during Dynamax, began to appear and continued to converge towards a certain point in Miyako City.

"What happened?!"

Little Meli, who had already transformed back into her ship spirit form, immediately floated curiously to Crimson's side and asked him a question.

Laboon flicked its tail and came to the other side of Crimson, looking around warily as if protecting Crimson.

Knowing that this was an overly long animated storyline, Crimson smiled slightly and reassured the two little ones beside her:

"Don't worry, it's just some cutscenes."

"Oh~"

Although she didn't know what CG was, it didn't seem like a big deal to Red, and Little Mermaid's mind calmed down.

In the blink of an eye, the chaos subsided.

And following the pattern that the villains will inevitably step in to explain, the mayor of Gongmen City successfully explained the whole story in detail through the arena's big screen.

Including where you can find his strange-sounding words.

As expected, the next step for Crimson and his friends is to find the mayor's location, fight him, and then battle the summoned Mugentana to complete this part of the story.

however……

"Forget it, the Mugentana arc is coming up soon, let's wait until Luffy arrives before we talk about it."

Chi Hong stretched and, compared to the panicked audience in the venue, he walked leisurely towards the exit.

Right after this part of the story ends, a new area will be unlocked in the game.

That was originally the only way to find the mayor, but there was a group of wild Pokémon of level 50 or higher there.

It's perfect for Mary and Laboon to level up!

Furthermore, level 50 Pokémon also have a decent drop rate.

By consuming the previous batch of Poké Balls, you can provide more experience for Merry and Laboon while also acquiring some useful items and TMs.

That's killing two birds with one stone!

……

……

For the next two days, Red took Merry and Laboon to level up in the Pokémon world.

The results achieved in just two days were quite remarkable.

Originally level 52, Mary leveled up 3 levels in a row to level 55 thanks to the double experience boost.

It may not seem like much, but this is the leveling speed after level 50.

Being able to fill that bottomless experience bar three times in just two days is already incredibly fast.

Lab's level also increased slightly, reaching level 68.

Like Meili, although her level may not have increased much, the difference in her strength is quite obvious.

Since Vegapunk and his clones are overseeing the operations of the Pokémon world, Red doesn't need to exert any effort for the time being.

Therefore, Crimson also plans to take this opportunity to put aside all other matters and wholeheartedly improve the strength of her companions.

However, this idea had only just emerged on the third day after the launch of Pokémon World...

Akane, who had just woken up, unexpectedly received a call from Moria, who was far away in Wano Country.

"What? Hades has been unearthed!?"

“That’s right!” Moria excitedly reported from the other side:

"We also owe a great deal to Lord Crimson for providing these exploration robots and clones of the Push-Push Fruit user, which has made Pluto's excavation work so smooth!"

"The Hades has now been successfully unearthed and is placed on the outskirts of the Flower Capital town in Wano Country."
