One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

In the world of One Piece, which is full of all sorts of bizarre Devil Fruits, this is not a particularly unusual thing.

But for Red and the Straw Hat crew, this is definitely good news.

This will at least make Vegapunk's job much easier.

"I have a general understanding."

After a moment's thought, Crimson nodded knowingly.

"You guys did a great job this time, showing the whole world the strength of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Luffy and the others will probably be in seclusion for a while longer. If anything else happens with the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, you guys can discuss and decide what to do."

"Yes, Lord Crimson!!!"

Upon hearing this, Moriah's eyes suddenly lit up, radiating a dazzling light.

It can be said that with this one sentence, all the hard work he and the others had done during this period of time became well worth it!

The meaning behind the red is quite clear: for the next period of time, the Straw Hat Pirates will be too busy to attend to anything else, so the power of the Straw Hat Pirates will be delegated to a few of them.

Although power is not being given to Moria alone, given his past achievements in subduing Elbaf, others will inevitably regard him as their sole pillar of support when faced with any challenges.

Given the current sphere of influence of the Straw Hat Pirates, the weight of this power is several times greater than that of any Yonko (Four Emperors) pirate crew.

The call has ended.

Red obtained information about the final Poneglyph, and Moria gained the respect and status he desired.

Everyone got what they wanted.

In the Pokémon Seas.

After ending the call with Moria, Crimson briefly explained the situation to her companions before using a combination of teleportation and dimensional portal to travel to Tech Island and confront Vegapunk.

After Red explained Moria's report to Vegapunk, the scientist, who had been busy figuring out how to efficiently discharge seawater, couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

"Red, my artificial fruit project has only just stabilized and is not even on the right track yet, how come you have come up with something new again?"

Although he has six clones to share the burden of various negative states with Vegapunk, they can only share the burden on the mental level.

Vegapunk's body can still feel pain and fatigue.

Of course, for Vegapunk, who already has a Pokémon template, this fatigue is nothing.

“Don’t say that, Dr. Vegapunk.” Crimson smiled slightly. “You should be happy that there’s a new project to research.”

“That makes sense.” Vegapunk’s expression shifted. “Is it possible to create the dream world that people desire?”

"I never expected that the sunstone would have this kind of ability."

"However, with the power of the Sunstone, it doesn't seem impossible."

As he spoke, Vegapunk looked up at Red:

“I have a general understanding of the specific situation. Once the projects I am currently working on have come to a temporary end, I will immediately take Shakya and the others to Elbaf to establish a new research institute.”

"I've already asked Quinn and the others to handle the research institute matters. Doctor, just send any requests you have to Quinn later!"

Because Drake promoted Queen's biomechanical modification technology to the live audience, many forces have now approached the Straw Hat Pirates through various means, wanting to purchase the opportunity to modify their equipment.

Both Crimson and Quinn are determined to make this money.

But with so many people and so many eyes, it's impossible for Chi Hong to gather them all in such a central place as the Technology Island.

Now that Elbaf has submitted, Crimson took the opportunity to have Quinn build a brand new modification base in Elbaf, specifically to handle similar business.

At that time, we can take advantage of the name of Quinn Biomechanical Modification Base to secretly build Vegapunk's research institute, in order to prevent the World Government or other villains with special abilities from making any underhanded moves.

"Quinn?"

Vegapunk nodded, indicating that he knew what to do.

Next, Crimson inquired about the progress of the seawater intrusion plan.

In theory, this project doesn't involve much technical expertise; all you need to do is build a large water pump and fill the antimatter space with seawater.

However, activating the antimatter space consumes crimson electricity.

Even with Crimson's current strength, he could still store a considerable amount of battery even if he stayed in the game world 24 hours a day.

But for Crimson, electricity is power and strength.

If there were any way to save him electricity, that would be ideal.

But regardless, with the discovery of the last Road Poneglyph, Red and the Straw Hat Pirates...

This is another big step closer to the secrets of this world!

Chapter 525 Everyone Heads to Elbaf

"Lord Moriah, this is the ruins of the castle."

"However, this place has been abandoned for many years since King Harald died. Elder Aruru also led people to collect some items here and transport them to various villages in the Yang Realm."

"I wonder if there's anything else here that you're looking for."

A giant warrior who was originally responsible for guarding Loki kept a vigilant eye on Loki behind Moria while reporting the information he knew to Moria.

"Hmm~"

Moria, who used to fawn over Crimson, now exudes an aura of authority.

He waved his hand dismissively.

"I understand. There's nothing more for you to do here. You can go back now."

"...Yes, Lord Moriah."

The giant warrior hesitated for a long time, his eyes flashing rapidly. In the end, he did not say anything to warn Moria to be careful of Loki behind him. He bowed slightly and left the castle area.

After the giant warriors left, Moria turned his head slightly to look at Loki beside him, a faint smile on his face.

"Alright, Loki. There's no one else here. Where's that secret chamber you mentioned that only royalty knows about?"

"If there really is a way inside that allows someone to enter the Heavenly Realm, then you've done a great service. I'll definitely put in a good word for you with the Straw Hats!"

"A guy as powerful as you, are you really willing to be someone else's subordinate?"

Loki glanced at Moria, puzzled.

A week had passed since the Elbaf tournament ended.

Under Moria's arrangement, Elbaf gradually accepted his new identity.

Various departments from the Straw Hat Grand Fleet have also begun working in Elbaf, recording everything here and transmitting it into a database for other departments to allocate as needed.

The “little people” who were once rarely seen in Elbaf are now found all over the island, and can be seen on every branch of the World Tree.

Hehe~

Hearing Loki's puzzled question, Moria first gave a low chuckle, but then didn't answer directly:

"Once you've truly met the Straw Hat Pirates, you'll know what it really means to be a frog in a well with a limited view of the sky."

"Alright, let's not waste any more time here. Where exactly is that secret room you mentioned?"

"The more you say that, the more curious I become."

Loki stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips wickedly, then stepped forward and led Moria deeper into the castle ruins.

The two turned left and right, and soon arrived at a narrow, dimly lit passageway.

Of course, the term "narrow" only applies to Loki.

Loki, who has the blood of the ancient giants, was born taller than other giants.

If he wants to enter this passage, he must crawl on the ground to move forward.

But for Moria, whose 7-meter frame was already quite tall for an ordinary human, he moved freely through the passageway, which even seemed rather spacious!

Following this passageway, the two walked downwards for more than an hour before the space suddenly opened up.

With a wave of his hand, Moria unleashed a burst of ghostly green flames that quickly illuminated the entire area.

In an instant, a huge, strange machine suddenly appeared in front of them.

"This is!?"

Moria's eyes flashed, but his gaze swept around the surroundings.

"If my sense of direction is correct, should we be in the central region of the World Tree, between the Underworld and the mortal realm?"

"what."

Loki, who was following behind Moria, also crawled in looking disheveled. He first stood up and shook off the dust before looking around.

Looking at the enormous, unidentified machine before him and the murals on the surrounding walls, Loki's lips suddenly curled into a smile.

"It seems my king father really did hide his true identity well!"

"If I'm not mistaken, that thing should be the machine mentioned in the documents that can be used to manipulate sunstones to create dreams, right?"

Loki pointed to the enormous machine in front of him and said in a puzzled tone:

"That's strange. Given the customs and traditions passed down in Elbaf, surely no one would be capable of creating such sophisticated equipment?"

"And judging from the appearance of this workbench, this thing doesn't seem to be prepared for giants."

"It must be the work of extraterrestrial life, right?"

Just then, Moria, who had circled the entire space, turned back and gave Loki a mysterious smile.

"Extraterrestrial life? What do you mean?" Loki was taken aback.

Although he was a prince of Elbaf and possessed considerable knowledge, this was the first time he had ever heard of extraterrestrial life.

Look here.

At that moment, Moria manipulated the will-o'-the-wisp to suddenly illuminate a wall and gestured for Loki to look.

On the ancient walls, there were murals that seemed to be telling a story.

Loki was taken aback, while Moria began to explain to him based on the content of the mural:

"If the murals here record events that actually happened in history, it seems that a long time ago, a group of extraterrestrial life came from outside the planet and landed at the top of the World Tree."
