One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"No problem!"

Sanji's eyes lit up, and he immediately lay back down obediently, even asking Vegapunk to turn on the light on his helmet so that he would look exactly like everyone else in the dream world.

"What a day..." Crimson sighed with a helpless chuckle.

Then, Sanji, who was pretending to be immersed in a dream, quietly waited for the other crew members.

Soon, some of the companions began to regain consciousness.

What Crimson didn't expect was...

The first person to wake up was not Luffy or Zoro, who are the strongest fighters, but Brook, who is the oldest member of the entire pirate crew!

"Yohohoho~"

"What an unforgettable dream!"

With a classic laugh, Brooke's helmet suddenly went out, and he slowly sat up from the bed with an afro, putting on his top hat in a gentlemanly manner.

“Crimson, I should have passed the test, right?” Brooke asked calmly as always.

But the sharp-eyed Crimson spotted a fleeting tear in his empty, skeletal eye sockets.

The flickering flame of the soul exudes a faint sadness, yet is instantly overshadowed by a burst of hope.

Perhaps in the dream world, Brook and his friends have a happy ending.

but……

"No wonder he can immerse himself in loneliness and solitude for 50 years without having a mental breakdown!"

Crimson couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Although the order in which people wake up doesn't fully represent the strength of their willpower due to the different flow of time in dream spaces, being able to wake up before Luffy and Zoro...

Brook's willpower might actually be the strongest in the entire Straw Hat Pirates.

"Perhaps in the future, we can provide specialized training for Brook in this direction."

"In space travel, willpower is definitely in the top tier."

As a trainer, Red habitually pondered this in his mind.

But after a thousand thoughts flashed through her mind, Crimson immediately pretended not to have noticed anything and smiled as always.

"Not bad, Brook!"

"To be able to escape the dream world before Luffy and Zoro, it seems I'll have to give them a good laugh later."

"Yohohoho~ Maybe we shouldn't, First Mate!"

"I don't want Luffy dragging me into a mental strength contest every day."

"Hehe~"

The two exchanged a smile, as if a great deal of conversation had been conveyed through their eyes, but in the end, they fell silent in tacit agreement, everything understood without words.

Time passed slowly.

A few minutes later, Luffy and Zoro emerged from the dream world almost simultaneously and quickly woke up.

Seeing Sanji still lying on the machine beside him, Zoro's nostalgic look was suddenly replaced by a flash of joy that said, "I won."

Before he could even speak, Luffy, who was standing next to him, started complaining:

"What? This machine isn't working either!"

"Red, the universe isn't as interesting as you say. Why are all the fights just between Devil Fruit users?"

"what?"

Red paused for a moment, glanced at Luffy's virtual device, and suddenly seemed to realize something.

He quickly turned to look at Vegapunk.

Vegapunk clearly hadn't expected that there would be another formidable opponent after Sanji.

He quickly adjusted the detailed data of Luffy's equipment and began to check it.

Logically, the dream world created by the sunstone should reflect the strongest desires in people's hearts. Even people with strong willpower should have a slight attachment to the dream world after breaking free from it.

Even someone with invincible willpower, who doesn't yearn for the dream world, should simply feel nothing.

The fact that Luffy experienced such boredom and negative emotions was something Vegapunk had never anticipated.

Soon, after reviewing Luffy's data, Vegapunk slowly revealed a look of understanding, yet also said something somewhat inexplicable:

"It seems that Luffy's desires are too great, but he lacks sufficient information to support them, which means that even under the power of the Sunstone, he still cannot guarantee absolute attraction."

"Interesting~ I never imagined that there was such a way to break the dream world of the Sunstone!"

After explaining, Vegapunk's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately crossed his fingers to save Luffy's data, intending to study it again later.

Luffy, however, was completely confused by Vegapunk's explanation.

Red's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's thought, he understood why Luffy had said the word "boring."

To put it simply, Luffy's dream is like a young boy who knows nothing about the anatomy of the opposite sex and related knowledge, and whose greatest desire is that of a naive boy. In the dream world, he meets the girl he likes the most, but because he doesn't understand anything, he can only try to rub against her as much as possible, even in the dream world.

Once or twice is fine, but as time goes on, the bored little boy's desires escalate, but because he doesn't know how to proceed, the dream world eventually becomes boring.

Luffy, having never learned anything about the universe, only heard Red say that it was a mysterious place, a more exciting adventure than the sea, but didn't know what made it exciting. In the end, unable to satisfy his desires, he voluntarily left the dream world.

In other words, even without any protective suit, Luffy has a high probability of being able to move freely in the dream space of the Celestial Realm.

As expected of the protagonist of this world?

It's estimated that even Luffy from the original timeline might become immune to the dream world because he wouldn't know what to do after becoming the Pirate King, thus gaining the opportunity to access the Road Poneglyphs.

"So... is Luffy's willpower high or low?"

Crimson muttered to himself.

Just as Crimson was about to ask Vegapunk a question, two more voices, like admonitions, rang out from the side.

Robin and Nami also woke up from the dream space one after the other.

Compared to Luffy and Brook, Robin and Nami's eyes were exceptionally red, with glistening tears welling up within them.

Having guessed what they were probably dreaming about, the crimson-clad gentleman handed the two women the prepared tissues, receiving two "thank yous" in return.

Although the dream world is wonderful, Robin and Nami, who have experienced countless darkness since childhood, still showed amazing willpower and were not swallowed up by the beautiful dream space.

This made Crimson realize that his companions' willpower might be even stronger than he had imagined.

Chapter 528 The Fruit Trees of the Celestial Realm! ! ?

As Chopper, the last member of the Straw Hat Pirates, awoke from the dream world, he showed no lingering attachment to it after wiping away his tears.

At this point, all members of the Straw Hat crew had passed the test in the Dream Space.

This also proves that even if they all enter the Celestial Realm of Elbaf, they will absolutely not be affected by the Celestial Realm's peculiar space.

The only thing that surprised Red was that the last one to wake up wasn't Uta or Usopp, whom he thought had weak willpower, but rather Chopper, who had always appeared strong and brave.

But that makes sense. When Chopper joined the Straw Hat Pirates, the crew had already become a powerful pirate crew capable of handling most dangers under Akane's tutelage.

After Chopper joined, everything went smoothly for him. Although his childhood was tragic, he had the companionship and education of Dr. Kureha.

In comparison, although Uta almost destroyed the world in the original story due to her ideological problems, she was able to live in the ruins of the Kingdom of Eregia for many years after being "betrayed" by the Red-Haired Pirates, which shows that her willpower was not simple.

Usopp's performance was also remarkable. Although his weak personality prevented him from waking up earlier, it doesn't mean that his willpower ranking among the Straw Hat crew is low.

"Okay, your test results are in."

A few minutes after the Straw Hat crew had all woken up, Vegapunk, having finished compiling everyone's willpower data, walked over with a look of surprise.

"It's really unexpected that you all possess such remarkable willpower."

"However, just to be on the safe side, I suggest that we select the few people with the best willpower to participate in the mission to enter the Heavenly Realm."

"Anyway, your strength is more than enough!"

“No problem.” Crimson nodded. “I’ll leave everything to you, Doctor.”

"Okay then~"

Vegapunk reviewed the data in his hand, then his gaze swept over the Straw Hat crew before he finally said:

"Based on your resistance to the dream space, I suggest that Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Robin, Franky, and Redfield participate in the next operation!"

"Ok."

The person whose name was called immediately nodded and stepped out from the crowd.

Although they might not be the ones with the strongest willpower, entering the Celestial Realm requires more than just willpower; it also requires the ability to resist desires and dreams.

Just like Sanji, who has a strong will, he is completely powerless against dreams.

In contrast, Franky and Redfield, while not having particularly high willpower stats, are also unaffected by the situation in the Celestial Realm because their desires are relatively mild.

As for Nami's situation, it's somewhat similar to Luffy's.

Although in her dream she possessed all the wealth in the world and lived happily in Cocoyasi Village, Bellemere, and Nochigo.

However, due to her exceptional intelligence and strong willpower, she realized that when all the wealth is concentrated in one person, it ceases to be wealth and becomes a pile of useless things, thus dismantling the logic of the dream world.

It can only be said that compared to the effects of Infinite Tsukuyomi, the dream world created by the Sunstone is still far inferior. It can only reflect desires and cannot fix bugs or make the dream world more perfect.

Soon, the selected individuals put on their protective suits under Vegapunk's guidance.

Crimson then came before everyone and explained:

"According to the information provided by the giants, the original signpost should have been stored in the very center of the celestial realm."

"That means you'll have to cross most of the Elbaf region, but because the situation in the celestial realm is currently unclear, you absolutely must not act rashly!"

"Luffy! This is extremely important, you absolutely cannot mess things up!!!"

"Oh dear~" Luffy, who was singled out by Red, looked helpless and shrugged, saying, "People grow up, you know, Red!"

You can rest assured!!!

"You'd better be~" Red rolled her eyes at him lightly, wondering which NPC Luffy had picked up that line from in the Pokémon world.

He then continued:
