One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Luffy, who had been forced to calm down by Akane, blinked and finally nodded in agreement.

But then, a bright smile appeared on his face.

"But I believe you've already taken care of all these things, right, Red?"

"Hey, don't put all the blame on me!"

Red rolled her eyes at Luffy, only to be met with a knowing smile in return.

The reliance on Red has long been a ingrained problem among the Straw Hat crew.

But so what?

With such reliable partners, others wouldn't be able to rely on them even if they wanted to!

Luffy once again turned his expectant gaze toward Akane.

He believed that since Crimson had organized this meeting, it proved that he had arranged everything properly!

Chapter 496 Second Playthrough, Start!

"According to our last conversation with the Revolutionary Army, they are already gathering their forces and have decided to attack Mary Geoise in a month to engage in the final battle with the World Government."

"With the Revolutionary Army's current strength, I believe they should be able to overcome the Five Elders and force Im to take action."

Facing the gazes of the Straw Hat crew, Akame calmly spoke:

"Although I don't think the Revolutionary Army can force the World Government to use all its methods, they should at least be able to show us the World Government's last trump card."

"That will be the time for us to prepare for the final battle!"

"Currently, I can take three members into the Pokémon world at the same time, so for the next period of time, I will draw up a schedule and take you into the Pokémon world in shifts 24 hours a day to raise your levels as much as possible in preparation for the final battle."

"it is good!"

As soon as the crimson voice fell, Luffy and the others immediately nodded in response.

Overthrowing the World Government—though that was never their true goal—was something they were forced to do since it stood in their way.

Then we'll just have to ask the other person to die!

At that moment, Usopp suddenly raised his hand and said:

“Crimson, my part of the time can be shortened a bit, and given to the others.”

"My strength improvement doesn't rely too much on my base attributes, so..."

"Hmm, that's fine too~"

Red nodded, agreeing with Usopp's suggestion.

Franky, standing nearby, suddenly raised his hand: "Me too, Crimson!"

"I've recently been learning new technology from Pythagoras... With the power of the Fusion Fruit, all I need to do is continuously accumulate knowledge and resources..."

"While basic attributes can enhance the power of a fruit, it's still more effective to give them to others."

"In that case, I will also..."

Seeing that Usopp and Franky had both offered to sacrifice their chance to train in the Pokémon world, Uta, who was the weakest member of the Straw Hat Pirates so far, also hesitated and raised his hand.

But before she could finish speaking, Crimson suddenly waved her hand, interrupting her.

"Forget about you, Uta."

"Your abilities are very useful; we might need your power in the universe someday."

"Your top priority right now is to become as strong as possible and catch up in level, so as to avoid being underpowered in the future."

"Alright then, you can have the extra time that Usopp and Franky contribute."

"Ah... well, thank you everyone..."

Uta, no longer the naive little girl she once was, showed a hint of apology in her eyes, but didn't argue further, giving Usopp and Franky a grateful look.

But Crimson continued:

“Usopp’s strength really has little to do with himself. How about this, Usopp’s game time will be halved.”

As he said, Usopp's rank is indeed not that much related to his final combat strength.

Instead of spending time leveling up Usopp, it would be better to directly level up the four exceptionally talented Elite Four members under his command.

At this stage, Crimson clearly doesn't intend to waste time on insects, so he can only reduce Usopp's leveling time.

However, this does not mean that Usopp will lose anything.

It's important to know that as new players continue to flood into the Pokémon world, Red and his friends are collecting more and more Wishes, especially with Wano Country serving as an experimental site specifically for creating targeted Wishes...

It is foreseeable that in the near future, the amount of special wishes related to the Green Caterpillar and the Rhinoceros Beetle will increase dramatically.

Usopp can then use these wishes to breed a large number of Caterpie and Rhinoceros Beetle, and with the help of the Bug-type Pokémon's easy evolution, he can build the Butterfree army and the Beedrill army.

It is foreseeable that there will be two Bug-type Pokémon armies with continuously increasing strength and the ability to autonomously awaken Pokémon moves, as well as various other Bug-type Pokémon armies that may exist in the future...

Usopp's importance will reach an unimaginable level!

Quantity can compensate for quality.

Even the insects in the One Piece world, Usopp can do so many different things with them.

Red is eagerly anticipating what kind of miracles he will create once he has a large enough army of Zerg Pokémon.

"As for Franky..."

After a moment's thought, Crimson continued:

"Finally, Devil Fruit abilities require a strong physique as a foundation, so let's shorten your game time by one-third."

Unlike Usopp, Franky ultimately needs sufficient physical strength to trigger the more powerful effects of the Fusion Fruit.

The powerful one is Barrett, not some kind of fusion fruit.

Conversely, although they lost time to level up, for a long time to come, all the material factories under the Straw Hat Pirates will focus on Franky's needs, with all their members serving him to create even more powerful combat mechs.

Franky considered the Barrett missile, a piece of junk that was all size and no substance, unable to even launch a nuclear-level missile, as a waste of recycling efficiency, even if it were thrown into a junkyard.

With a few words, he decided on his companions' next training plan. Crimson's gaze hardened, and he earnestly addressed his group:

"Six months!"

"Six months from now, we must set foot in the universe no matter what!"

There are too many uncertainties in the Life Card, and even more uncertainties in the universe!

If it weren't for the overwhelming power of Joy Boy's Haki within the ancient robot Emmett, which proved that Luffy would experience at least one more significant power boost after entering Gear 5, he would have been eager to lead his crew to resolve the issues on Earth, venture into space, and explore a wider world.

“Therefore,” Crimson continued, “we must resolve everything on Earth within six months… including the secret of One Piece, overthrow the World Government, and completely eliminate the potential threat of the world being submerged…”

With the Straw Hat crew's earnest responses, a brief but extraordinary meeting came to an end.

Everyone hurriedly left to hand over their work.

For the next period of time, they will devote themselves entirely to emergency training.

This is not only for the final battle with the World Government, but also so that after setting foot in space, I won't be too weak and hold my companions back.

In the end, only Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were allowed to stay at Red's request.

The three of them were also among the first to enter the game world to level up.

Let's get right to it and not waste a single moment.

Red, Luffy, and the other three sat down in the chairs of the conference room, each finding a comfortable position, and then leaned back, entering the Pokémon world.

However, Crimson did not choose the newly opened world of Pokémon: Crimson/Purple.

The main problem was that the storyline of the new game world was too time-consuming, and besides, he did have better options at his disposal.

wow——

A dazzling white light flashed, and Crimson and the others appeared directly on a plain.

In the distance, there is a continuous range of mountains and ocean.

Closer still, a mysterious gale tears the sky apart, constantly releasing mysterious energy that interacts with the world.

That's right.

The game world that Red and his friends entered this time was the already completed Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

This time, however, Crimson and his friends entered the world of the second playthrough!

In the second playthrough of Arceus, not only are the Pokémon stronger, but the number and respawn times of Boss Pokémon and Rage Pokémon also change, making the world full of powerful Pokémon with rich rewards.

In addition, there are many legendary Pokémon of considerable level in the second playthrough of Arceus.

Shaymin, Darkrai, Heatran, Yuxie, Thundurus...

Even Arceus, the most powerful being in the Pokémon universe, will appear in the second playthrough of Arceus.

It can be said that after completing the game twice, the number of Crimson's legendary Pokémon templates will be instantly increased.

And the final boss, Arceus, might bring some surprises to Crimson.

However, according to the setting, all Arceus seen in the Pokémon world, regardless of time or space, are just an avatar of the real Arceus.

Most likely, this is just a clone that possesses some of Arceus's energy but lacks the ability to create Pokémon.

However, if Red remembers correctly, Arceus in this world seems to possess all Pokémon types, making it a powerful being even among the many Arceus clones.

It's definitely worth looking forward to.

Because they had already completed all the relevant quests when they entered the second playthrough of Arceus with the others, Red didn't waste any time upon entering the game world. He immediately selected several locations for Luffy and his two companions and sent them off separately.

While leveling up, defeat the mythical beasts in each region to boost Crimson's stats.

If we were to pinpoint the most regrettable thing about the Arceus world... it would probably be the absence of various gyms, preventing Red from becoming even stronger.

Fortunately, having already acquired the Infinity Giant form, he seems to have inadvertently become the strongest member of the Straw Hat crew after Luffy.

If it weren't for Luffy's overpowered abilities, the boost from Mega Evolution and Dynamax, dealing with Maximal Eternatus would have been a real challenge.

Following this, the entire Straw Hat Pirates entered a quiet period of refinement.

The Going Merry also quietly left Wano Country without anyone noticing, heading towards the Straw Hat crew's base in the Pokémon Sea.
