One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 35 Luffy's Bounty (Please continue reading~)

With the help of the faint moonlight, Crimson walked to the stern of the small sailboat.

Under the moonlight, the sea surface rippled with layers of pale yellow light.

Gazing at the sea below, a flash of azure light once again shone in his crimson eyes.

He then silently recited a phrase while looking down at the seawater:

"surf!"

wow——

An invisible Pokémon energy suddenly emanated from the crimson body and drifted towards the nearest seawater.

All the seawater covered by Pokémon energy instantly seemed to come alive, surging wildly upwards.

In the blink of an eye, a huge wave appeared in front of Crimson.

However, under his control, the waves did not surge outwards as they had last time, but instead remained in place, refusing to recede.

As Red channeled Pokémon energy to maintain the waves, he muttered to himself, deep in thought:

"Using surfing skills to control nearby water sources reduces water consumption considerably."

"The same size waves consume only a fraction of the energy as before!"

"And the controllability is also greatly enhanced!"

The azure eyes flashed again, and the crimson light suddenly increased the output of Pokémon energy.

The seawater surged and converged once more.

The waves in front of him were getting bigger and bigger.

In just half a minute, a giant wave, several meters high, suddenly appeared behind the Straw Hat crew's ship, following it forward while maintaining a safe distance.

Such a bizarre scene would have left ordinary navigators utterly astonished.

"really!"

"By manipulating nearby water sources, surfing transforms from a one-time attack into a continuously controllable water manipulation skill!"

"The downside is that the water must be manipulated in the form of ocean waves, rather than true water control."

"Furthermore, without the concentration of a large amount of Pokémon energy, the impact of the waves seems to be greatly reduced, and they can only rely on the power of the waves themselves to attack."

"But... isn't this pretty strong?!"

A glint flashed in his crimson eyes.

At that moment, he seemed to see the fearful expressions on the faces of the enemies who were preparing to chase the Straw Hat crew on the high seas, only to be intercepted by the power of the ocean.

Furthermore, as Crimson progresses through the game and acquires more badges, his power will grow stronger and stronger!

At that time, he might be able to create towering waves thousands of feet high with a simple wave of his arm, just like Whitebeard!

This is not finished!

With a flick of his crimson wrist, the massive wave instantly split in two, then continued to divide until it became small waves, each only half the height of the ship.

Under the control of the crimson flames, all the waves converged near the ship, propelling it forward.

In an instant, the sailboat's speed more than doubled.

As the sea breeze suddenly intensified and blew towards him, only one bad thought arose in his crimson mind:

broken!

I'm going to be used as a tool!!!

……

……

The next morning.

As the first rays of the morning sun rose, Luffy and his crew woke up one after another.

When they stepped out of the cabin, they were shocked to find that Crimson was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed on the deck near the stern.

Luffy immediately stepped forward out of curiosity:

"Huh? Crimson, what are you doing sitting here!?"

As the person who has spent the most time with Akane on the ship, Luffy knows very well that although Akane doesn't like to sleep in, he is definitely not an early riser either.

What's more, they were still adventuring in the game world for quite a while last night before they finally rested.

Upon hearing Luffy's voice, Akame seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Ha~ It's Luffy!"

Crimson greeted him with a smile, then withdrew the primal power that nourished his entire body.

Looking at the pale sun in the sky, he stood up and stretched.

"Is it already morning? This night really flew by."

"So..." Zoro and Nami, curious, gathered around at that moment, "What have you been doing all night?"

"Ah, this..." Crimson chuckled softly, leaning against the railing and pointing downwards.

"You'll understand once you see this!"

"Huh!?" Luffy and his two companions blinked, then looked down as Red suggested.

The next second, the three of them instantly showed expressions of surprise.

Because at the junction of the ship and the sea, they saw a large group of waves that seemed to have a life of their own, just like the hardworking Paru, propelling the ship forward.

Nami paused for a moment, as if suddenly realizing something:

"I was wondering why the wind speed felt a bit off this morning..."

"Is this your new ability, Crimson?!"

They were already used to the amazing tactics that Crimson occasionally displayed.

Aside from a little surprise, there was mostly just curiosity about this method.

"That's right." Crimson smiled and admitted, waving his hand and demonstrating to them what the power of the Sea King was all about.

slam-la-

A flash of azure light appeared in his eyes, and in an instant, the steady hull of the ship trembled.

Immediately afterwards, Luffy and his crew were horrified to discover that their ship was being lifted high by a giant wave, and they were riding the wave swiftly forward like a surfing expert.

Seeing the three of them gaping in astonishment, Chi Hong introduced them:

"This is my new ability, it's called [Surfing]!"

"With this ability in hand, in future naval battles..."

"We will be invincible!!!"

His bright red lips curled up confidently, revealing an indescribable charm.

"Wow, so cool! Crimson!"

Luffy shouted immediately, his face also beaming with excitement.

He is now increasingly grateful that he was able to take Crimson out to sea with him.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Red accepted Luffy's praise without hesitation, and then with a wave of his hand, he turned the waves back to their original state.

He did this simply so that his partners could understand his abilities, so that they could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future.

As for the waves that are propelling the ship forward...

Although Crimson didn't want to be a tool either, he discovered that his regenerative abilities were so amazing that they could offset most of the energy consumed by surfing...

In order to speed up the process, he had no choice but to compromise.

"Oh, right, Nami..."

Crimson suddenly asked:

"Can you tell us where we are? How long until we reach Xirob Village?"

"Let me see..." Nami suddenly pulled out a sea chart from the four-dimensional space in her chest, and then took out an unfamiliar red device to start observing it.

Before long, she came to a conclusion:

"If we can continue sailing at this speed, we should arrive at Xirob Village around 3 PM today!"

"Really? Looks like my efforts all night weren't in vain."

Red smiled slightly, then turned to Luffy and Zoro and said:

"Alright, a new day has begun!"

"Luffy's Armament Haki is already showing initial results."

"Luffy, your next task is to continue to familiarize yourself with the use of Armament Haki, at least to the point where you can complete one battle."

"Zoro, you continue your training at your own pace."

"Once Luffy's Armament Haki is sufficiently developed, then let him guide you."

"But don't have too high hopes for Luffy. You can probably guess his level of guidance. You still have to rely on your own efforts."

"And then there's your training in swordsmanship..."

As the new day began, Red, based on his knowledge of the anime, started assigning Luffy and Zoro their next training tasks.

Just then, a beret-wearing messenger gull landed on the railing and cried out, interrupting Crimson.

"Hmm? Is this today's newspaper? Nami, you can pay for it."

Crimson pointed at the messenger gull and said.

He has no interest in money.

So after Nami genuinely joined the Straw Hat crew, he had already handed over the ship's financial power to her.

Hi~

After Nami answered, she took out her Berries and bought today's newspaper from the newspaper gull.

Before Nami could unfold it, a brand new bounty poster fell out from the gap in the newspaper.

The photo on the wanted poster clearly showed Luffy laughing at the camera.

"Um!?"

The sudden appearance of the bounty notice stunned everyone present.

Crimson was the first to react, stepping forward to pick up the bounty poster from the ground and bursting into laughter:

"Luffy, you actually have a bounty on your head!?"

"Now your name will be known throughout the world!"

"Huh!? Really? Really?!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy jumped over excitedly, his eyes wide as he looked at the red thing in his hand.

The brand-new wanted poster prominently displayed the following words:

Monkey D. Luffy, the Straw Hat Pirates

Their crimes are heinous, their lives are indisputable!

Bounty amount...

5000 million Berries!!!
