One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 2 Go, Monkey D. Luffy!

Night falls.

In the star-studded night sky, a ray of bright moonlight shone on the dark sea, drawing all attention to a small fishing boat.

"OK, that should be about right."

After adjusting the sails with Luffy and confirming once again that the sailing direction was correct, Akane nodded in satisfaction and then looked at Luffy beside her.

"Get ready, Luffy."

"No matter what, we're leaving the Evergreen Forest tonight!"

"Whoosh! Leave everything related to battle to me!"

Knowing that Red Luffy was not good at fighting, he let out a strange cry, which made him seem unusually reliable.

He leaped directly to Crimson's side, his eyes gleaming with anticipation and excitement.

Although it wasn't his first time traveling to another world with Crimson, this magical experience was so irresistible that it fueled his adventurous spirit.

Seeing this, Crimson no longer hesitated, smiled slightly, closed her eyes, and let her consciousness sink down.

In an instant, a classic red and blue handheld game console appeared in his mind.

And this is the unique cheat code that he possessed, having traveled through time alongside Crimson...

A virtual game console that allows him to enter the game world!

This game console exists only within Crimson's consciousness, giving him the confidence to roam freely across this vast ocean.

However, despite the game console's fantastical and powerful capabilities, it has one obvious drawback...

That means the battery life is extremely poor!

It took Red two and a half years just to boot up the machine!

From the moment he transmigrated to this world, the game console had been displaying the message "Battery low, cannot be turned on".

If it weren't for the "Charging..." sign and progress bar in the corner, Crimson would have doubted whether he had obtained a fake cheat.

Just three nights ago, the game console finally had enough battery power to turn it on.

It seems that some mechanism has been triggered.

After powering on, a great deal of knowledge and memories about how to use this cheat code instantly flooded Crimson's mind.

first……

It means that he can use this game console to enter the game world that is unlocked within the console, and obtain rewards that match the game's characteristics by completing certain achievements or levels.

Furthermore, he can extract items from the game into the real world by consuming electricity, and their effects will not change!

Secondly...

After the first power-on, the game console can replenish its power by absorbing bio-energy from the red body.

Without affecting Crimson's body, the amount of electricity he replenishes each day is enough for him to enter the game world for two hours. Furthermore, because he had to urgently prepare for his voyage yesterday, he did not enter the game. At this point, Crimson has accumulated four hours of game time.

The only thing that Red would regret was that the games on this console were all ones he had played on the handheld console before, and he could only unlock the second game after completing the previous one.

"Sigh, if I'd known it would be like this, why did I even bother playing Pokémon in the first place..."

"If there were a Dragon Ball series game, the One Piece world would be my backyard!"

"I can go wherever I want!"

Seeing the game list after the console was turned on, Crimson couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This was the second thing he regretted, after not watching the later parts of One Piece closely.

In the game list, a series of game icons are arranged horizontally.

And the names of all these games clearly include the words "Pokémon"!

There was nothing he could do; he'd gotten hooked on Pokémon back then, and after receiving his scholarship, he treated himself to a few rounds!

Let's Go! Pikachu/Eevee, Arceus, Diamond/Pearl, Sword/Shield, Crimson/Purple...

Seemingly due to the influence of time travel, the games that were originally divided into two installments at the same time are now presented as a single game on the handheld screen.

Following "Vermilion/Purple" is the original in-game store icon that came with the game console.

Having already learned how to use the game console, Crimson knew that once he finished playing the last game that came with the console, "Crimson/Purple," he could unlock the shop mode and acquire other new games.

Red has staked his ambition to transform into a Super Saiyan in the One Piece world on that!

After the two versions of the game are merged into one, all the limited-edition items and Pokémon will also appear in the same version of the game.

However, for Crimson, it seems that all he can look forward to are those specific items in the game!

after all……

Why? Because his cheat system didn't actually give him the ability to catch Pokémon!

"Who can understand the feeling of choosing Pikachu, throwing a Poké Ball, and getting Luffy instead?!"

Even now, Akane still can't forget the scene of Luffy at level 46 knocking out his formidable NPC rival, Little Eevee, with a single punch!

Yes!

Even though he entered the Pokémon game world, he couldn't use any Pokémon in the game!

The system's default Pikachu has been replaced by Luffy, and Pokémon caught with Poké Balls will turn into a white light, becoming experience points and occasionally dropped items.

In the game's world, Red, who has no offensive capabilities, can only rely on Luffy, this troublesome guy!

He didn't know if his cheat system was bugged, but so far, he hadn't figured out this strange mechanism.

However, since things had come to this point, he had no better option than to accept it.

Moreover, Luffy at level 46 is far stronger than Pikachu at level 5.

This allowed Crimson to quickly get through the first few small battles after becoming familiar with the game's mechanics.

Red then tested other mechanisms and discovered that once the distance between him and Luffy exceeded 100 meters, when he re-entered the game, he would be endlessly awakened in his own bed due to the message "No Pokémon available for battle".

From that moment on, Red realized that he had no choice but to set sail with Luffy!

Fortunately, he time-traveled not long after Ace set sail, when Luffy was feeling lonely.

Through God's-eye view and understanding of the pirate world, Akane, who was originally just an ordinary villager, unexpectedly formed a deep friendship and bond with Luffy.

When she first transmigrated, Crimson had also thought about working hard to train and become a powerful figure.

To this end, he even pulled out the most invincible cultivation method in the universe—the Saitama training:

Do 100 squats, 100 sit-ups, and 100 push-ups every day, plus a 10km run!

Don't be fooled by the fact that this training intensity is not as high as the daily training of ordinary soldiers at the Navy Headquarters. For a college student who likes to stay in the dormitory and play games, this is undoubtedly going to be the death of Chihong.

Fortunately, he managed to persevere.

However, it's unclear what went wrong.

Although after training, Crimson could feel his body getting stronger day by day, the direction of that strength was getting more and more skewed!

In two and a half years, his strength had clearly improved a lot, and even the famous strongman of Windmill Village lost to him in an arm wrestling match.

But when he threw a punch, it was no different from that of an ordinary child—weak and powerless, as if some mysterious rule had weakened his offensive ability.

Conversely, the crimson vitality, resilience, and defense have been ridiculously enhanced!

It's hard not to get hurt while spending time with Luffy.

However, no matter whether Chi Hong is struck by lightning, burned, or falls from a great height, all injuries will only remain on the surface of her body, and even bleeding is rare.

And these injuries will heal completely in a very short time.

If it weren't for the fact that he was too afraid to try, Akane would have suspected that he might have already gained the [immortality] trait through Saitama's training methods!

In the end, he could only attribute it all to the benefits of time travelers.

Although he didn't acquire Saitama's concept-level punch power, he can still be considered a super rookie!

At least within the East China Sea, we should be considered to have the right to protect ourselves.

……

……

"So..."

"Pokémon, activate!"

After quickly recalling his past since his transmigration, Crimson focused his attention, turning his consciousness into a pointer and pointing it at the icon of "Let's Go! Pikachu/Eevee".

In an instant, a blinding white light filled the entire world.

When Red opened his eyes again, he and Luffy had traveled from the sea at night to a lush forest that didn't quite feel real.

The fresh scent of grass and trees replaced the original salty smell of the sea, and what came into view was a soft yet vibrant cartoon-style world.

The lush, waist-high grass swayed in the wind, as if welcoming their arrival.

From the tall grass or the back of the forest, you can occasionally catch a glimpse of one or two Pokémon...

Unicorn, Caterpillar, Oddish...

These creatures, which once existed only in fantasy, now appeared vividly before Crimson.

However, these Pokémon seemed completely unaware of the sudden appearance of Red and Luffy, and continued to move along their predetermined paths.

Clearly, this is a unique Pokémon world.

And the location where Crimson and the others were was precisely their save point from their last game world—

Evergreen forest!
