One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

He's no match for Zoro anymore.

Therefore, Zoro did not feel any resentment towards being called the world's greatest swordsman; on the contrary, he felt it was the right thing to do.

As a master swordsman, he wouldn't care about such empty fame.

However, since he has also obtained Pokémon power, although he can't be completely considered to be on the same starting line as Zoro, after all, Zoro still has Red taking him into the Pokémon world to level up from time to time...

But he would never let himself be defeated by Zoro so easily.

A title is a title, and facts are facts.

This is the pride he possessed as the former world's greatest swordsman!

Without truly defeating Hawkeye, Zoro naturally couldn't let himself go, and his training hardly ever slacked off.

At the same time, this also makes Mingming really want to travel and have fun in the Pokémon world with Miss Nami, Miss Robin, Miss Uta, and a bunch of young, beautiful, and rich female trainers...

But in order not to fall too far behind Zoro, Sanji knew to make painful sacrifices and dared not relax even for a moment.

This greatly amplified his hatred for Zoro, and he even showed him the scroll during Zoro's happiest moment.

Although Zoro never intended to get involved with him, what does it matter?

It's all the green algae head's fault, no matter what!

It was with this hatred in his heart that Sanji's training results were remarkable during this period, and he accumulated more experience points in one month than in the previous two months.

Perhaps stimulated by strong emotions, his bloodline factors once again came into play, giving him a minor but significant advantage.

It was precisely because of this that, in a state of extreme anger, Sanji finally mastered the awakened power of the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit!

Sanji's Speed-Speed ​​Fruit ability is now capable of influencing the surrounding environment.

Although the area isn't very large, a steak that would normally take 5 minutes to cook can be done in just 5 seconds thanks to the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit's power.

Indeed, just as Red had promised Sanji at the beginning, once the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit was developed to its fullest potential, it actually unleashed a power similar to manipulating time.

However, after the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit awakened, the most effective improvement for Sanji was not to increase his combat power, but rather to greatly reduce the time required to provide the Straw Hat crew with three meals a day. At the same time, some dishes that originally required a lot of time to prepare could become everyday food and be served on the table.

Maybe Sanji was born to be a chef.

……

……

As Uta and Brook, who were recording a new song for "Pokémon World" in the recording studio, entered the conference room, all 15 members of the Straw Hat Pirates, including Merry and Laboon, gathered around the round table.

Everyone looked at Crimson with suspicion, wondering what important matter required them all to discuss this time.

At this moment, Crimson didn't keep them in suspense any longer. He simply smiled and slowly pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket that was floating upwards as if trying to escape from his palm.

"Everyone, do you remember what I said before... about the existence of other life forms in the universe!?"

"Um!?"

The Straw Hat crew, who were not very energetic to begin with, perked up their ears instantly upon hearing Akame's unremarkable opening remarks.

Robin and the others immediately focused their attention on the paper in Crimson's hand.

They immediately recognized that what Crimson was holding was a life card.

"I remember! Of course I remember!"

Honest Luffy nodded repeatedly, even showing a look of longing as he exclaimed:

"The thought that there might be other creatures in that mysterious starry sky, as well as all sorts of planets as big as our world, makes me incredibly excited."

Luffy clenched his fists and suddenly turned to look at Akame.

"Why are you suddenly bringing this up, Crimson!?"

"Has the time finally come?!"

Red has been using the excuse that the world is not mature enough to postpone the final battle between the Straw Hat Pirates and the World Government. So what Luffy wants to hear most now is Red saying that "the time is ripe".

Because that would mean they were one step closer to exploring the stars!

"Timing, you know..."

A glint flashed in his crimson eyes as he looked at Luffy's attribute panel, which had appeared out of nowhere.

Above its level column, there is a prominent number 89, clearly engraved in the text.

The total attribute value has already exceeded 1700 points.

It can be said that Luffy's current basic strength is enough to allow him to have a head-on battle with Guy.

Not to mention, Luffy also possesses the power of Nika, the power of Pokémon, and even extraordinary abilities such as Mega Evolution and Dynamax.

Furthermore, the nearly full experience bar indicates that Luffy is about to experience another significant boost in strength.

In fact, Red also felt that with Luffy's current strength, he should be able to defeat everyone in the world.

Just thinking about the Naruto series next door, which, in the final moments before its grand finale, raised the level of combat by several notches...

What was originally a battle of wits and courage among ninjas suddenly turned into a war between gods and demons that split mountains and seas.

Red was also worried that the original One Piece storyline might suddenly pull something like this at the end, pulling out Joy Boy's remnant soul from the underworld out of thin air and then bestowing his last Ripple, no... I mean Haki, upon Luffy and Zoro...

This made the two of them incredibly powerful, yet they still managed to fight Im to a draw... and won by sheer luck.

Given the typical plot developments in anime, this is not impossible.

A thought flashed through his mind, but Red ultimately shook his head. "The time isn't right, Luffy..."

Before Luffy could show any disappointment, he continued:

"However, in a way, defeating Im and exploring the stars are not mutually exclusive..."

"Isn't that so?"

"what?"

Luffy opened his mouth, puzzled, and his brain processed the meaning quickly, but he found that he couldn't understand Akane's words at all.

Robin, however, with a glint in his eyes, suddenly interjected:

"So, Crimson, you've already found a way to explore the stars, is that it!?"

As she spoke, her gaze remained fixed on the life card in her crimson hand.

If what she guessed was true, then the Straw Hat Pirates were really going to do something that would leave a lasting mark on the history of the entire planet!

They will create both history and the future!

Hearing Robin's question, Crimson chuckled noncommittally, then, under the puzzled and expectant gazes of his companions, he stated directly:

"That's right!"

"Just a few days ago, I went to the moon and obtained some information about life on other planets in the universe."

"And they created this Life Card!"

"Although it's unclear whether the Life Cards will still work in space, this may be our best chance to come into contact with extraterrestrial life!"

"I...don't want to miss this opportunity."

"Luffy, and everyone else..."

"You probably don't want this either, right?!"

Gudong~

Under the intense, red gazes, Usopp and the others silently swallowed.

They were initially shocked that Crimson could talk about something as absurd as going to the moon as if it were a holiday visit.

But when they heard about the discovery behind Crimson, they were completely stunned and dumbfounded.

Not everyone in the Straw Hat crew is enthusiastically looking forward to space adventures.

For example, Uta's biggest wish now is to bring joy to more people with her singing.

But aliens are still human.

If it's really like what Crimson joked about during dinner, that her singing will be transmitted throughout the entire starry sea via all sorts of strange and wonderful devices...

Just thinking about it is so cool!

She'll be the number one diva in the starry sky then!

If this were combined with the power of the Song-Song Fruit, I wonder how terrifying it would be!?

The mere Singing Demon King Totemjika?

It's just a product of the mental energy accumulated by the previous users of the Song-Song Fruit who went astray while researching songs...

Don't try to piggyback on the title of "Number One Diva of the Starry Sky"!

Through a chance study by the research unit, the Straw Hat crew had already learned about the Singing Demon King Totemjika.

What appears to be an invincible force is actually just taking advantage of the fact that the pirate world lacks specific methods for training mental strength.

Compared to the Straw Hat crew, who possess a large number of powerful individuals with superhuman abilities, they are nothing but small fry.

After learning about it, it was saved into the Devil Fruit file, becoming just a piece of text in the details of the Song-Song Fruit.

"Very good!!!"

After hesitating for a long time, Luffy finally understood what was going on. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up excitedly, and leaned towards Akane, looking at the Vivre Card in Akane's hand with great excitement.

Knowing that Luffy, though unreliable most of the time, never fails at crucial moments, Akame smiled slightly and handed the Vivre Card to Luffy.

Feeling the slight force of the Vivre Card trying to break free, Luffy's eyes suddenly blazed with golden light.

"So, Crimson, we can now directly explore the universe and make contact with other life forms within it, right!?"

That's true.

Crimson initially admitted it, but then changed his tune:

"But before that, we must take care of all the relevant things about our planet."

"Don't forget, the world we live in is currently facing the impending catastrophe of a great flood!"

"We can't just abandon everything and walk away before we've completely resolved these issues."

"Uh...you're right."
