One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 4 Shave! (Please continue reading~)

"You can't be kidding me!? This is impossible!"

Inside the Evergreen Forest, with a mournful cry from the Caterpillar, the girl in the short skirt standing opposite Crimson immediately showed an expression of disbelief, and then pulled out a bunch of rewards and stuffed them into Crimson's hand.

"As a reward for defeating me, here's 80 for you!"

"Also, here are these three Poké Balls~"

"What a generous young lady!"

Looking at the three Poké Balls worth 600 in her hand, Crimson's expression instantly transformed into Nami's, with golden light flashing in her eyes.

When he looked up again, the girl in the short skirt he had defeated had already returned to her expressionless state, standing aloof under a tree.

Anyway, thank you for the Poké Ball!

Having just escaped from a group of insect-catching boys without gaining anything except money, Crimson sincerely thanked the girl in the short skirt.

At this moment, Luffy, who had finished the battle, also walked over. He looked at the reward in Akane's hand, then at the girl in the short skirt, and made a strange comment to Akane.

"The people in this world are so strange~ Even though the Pokémon they use are so weak, they still insist on coming over and dragging us into battle..."

"They even give us rewards after we're defeated, making us feel like we're there to rob someone."

"What does it matter?" Crimson smiled as she put the reward into her backpack, or [bag], and then pointed at something not far ahead.

"Don't worry about the details! There are always some strange things in other worlds."

"And our victory is just around the corner!"

"Don't forget, there's a gym waiting for us to challenge in the next town!"

Red skillfully made empty promises to Luffy.

Luffy was very cooperative. Upon hearing the word "dojo," he immediately started rubbing his hands together in anticipation. However, Akame quickly diverted his attention elsewhere with just a few words.

"A dojo?! I can't wait!"

Three hours had passed since they entered the game world.

As Luffy swept through the land, monsters like Metapod, Unicorn, Bug Catcher, and Shorts Boy... were all swept away.

All of it turned into tiny specks of experience points and entered Luffy's body.

All things considered, the total is over a thousand.

Not too many.

After all, the Pokémon levels in Evergreen Forest are just too low.

In other words, you'll gain more experience from fighting NPCs; otherwise, you'll gain even less.

but……

The rate at which this experience points have increased is comparable to Luffy's gains from 5 or 6 days of training!

Even if you add the time that Red needs to charge the game console, it still more than doubles the speed at which Luffy becomes stronger!

This is just the beginning.

As you progress, the level of wild Pokémon will increase, and the experience points gained from winning battles will also increase exponentially!

At that moment, Crimson seemed to see their bright future!

……

……

"Looks like we're in luck! It seems we're about to get out of this forest!"

After defeating another insect-catching boy, Crimson suddenly noticed a color in his line of sight that didn't match the color scheme of the Evergreen Forest!

As they moved forward, a tall building with an earthen-yellow roof and white walls suddenly appeared before Akane and Luffy.

Unlike the simple passages in the game.

The scale and architecture of this world seem to have been supplemented to some extent by the established settings.

For example, the evergreen forest where Crimson and his companions were now incredibly lush, far beyond what could be explored in just a few minutes in the game.

The passageway building in front of us, which serves as the exit of the Evergreen Forest, looks much more magnificent. Located in the lush green forest, it stands out like a crane among chickens.

Crimson knew perfectly well that beyond the buildings lay their target for the day—Dark Grey City!

Thinking of this, he subconsciously licked his lips, his eyes revealing anticipation and excitement.

The remaining battery power of the game console would probably allow them to play for another two hours.

If they act quickly, they might be able to complete the Pewter City Gym challenge today and get the first machine reward!

Thinking of this, Crimson immediately reminded him:

"Forget about the Pokémon on the roadside, Luffy, time is running out."

"We need to speed things up now and try to finish the gym challenge before the game time runs out!"

After spending two years together, Luffy quickly grasped some of the new vocabulary that Akame used.

"A quick push?! I understand, leave everything to me!"

He grinned and patted his chest reassuringly.

Suddenly, Luffy stretched out his arm, coiling his crimson body up like a nimble snake, while his other hand pressed down on the straw hat on his head.

"Then I'll... go full speed ahead!"

"Don't worry about me~ Unleash your power, Luffy!"

Looking at the arms tied to his body, Crimson's expression changed slightly, knowing what would happen next, but he still closed his eyes and shouted resolutely.

Luffy clearly wasn't going to be polite either.

Before Chi Hong could finish speaking, his feet had already stomped across the ground at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Then, in a low, excited voice, he murmured:

"shave!"

Whoosh! ! !

With a sharp whistling sound, a fleeting shadow, as swift as lightning, flashed through the dense forest and flew rapidly toward the exit!

Because of its high speed, even the gusts of wind it generated caused the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees to rustle.

Behind this fleeting shadow, there was Crimson, suspended by a rubber arm.

"Sigh~ When will I ever be able to fight?"

"I never want to ride in this piece of junk again!"

Feeling the stinging pain of the wind on his face, Chi Hong groaned helplessly in his heart.

As for the method Luffy uses to travel, it is one of the techniques that he taught Luffy over the past two and a half years.

While it was called instruction, Red was simply passing on exactly what he had learned from the anime to Luffy.

Who would have thought that he simply said, "In a single instant, stomp the ground dozens of times at high speed to generate an explosive reaction force for high-speed movement"...

A week later, he saw Luffy, who was already able to use the shaving technique to travel up and down the mountain.

In addition, he taught Luffy many things under the existing conditions.

For example, the second and third grades of rubber fruit.

Because of the appearance of the red one, Luffy was able to complete the development of his Devil Fruit ability at a very early stage.

After learning about the concept of Haki, Luffy, through his own understanding and methods, mastered a basic level of Observation Haki.

Even Armament Haki seems to have found its way.

Of course, Crimson believes...

As Luffy's trainer, the help I can provide to Luffy is definitely not limited to this!

Although Luffy, this special "Pokémon," does not have the ability to upgrade and awaken moves, that does not mean he cannot learn Pokémon moves!

Red is really looking forward to seeing what kind of amazing sparks will fly when the power of the Pokémon world and the power of the One Piece world combine!

……

……

A few minutes later.

Driven by inertia, the crimson object slammed into the white wall of the exit passage with a loud thud.

"Damn it! I knew it!!!"

Despite having expected it, Crimson couldn't help but swear after sliding down the wall.

There's nothing we can do; it's his own choice after all!

Rubbing his red nose, and taking advantage of his special physique, Akame quickly stood up, then said to Luffy with dissatisfaction:

"How many times have I told you! When you brake, control your muscles and don't throw the passengers out!"

"Sorry, I forgot, hahaha~"

Luffy grinned sheepishly, showing absolutely no sign of reflection, which made Akatsuki grit his teeth in annoyance.

However, time was tight, and he didn't have much time to waste educating Luffy.

I'll remember this grudge!

You better not get into my hands again!

Otherwise, I'll definitely show you what cruelty really means!

After drawing a line in his mental notebook, Akame waved to Luffy and walked into the exit passage.

Despite the grandeur of the passageway, once inside, there are only two NPCs standing far apart in the entire room.

Ignoring these unimportant NPCs, Red grabbed Luffy and quickly ran out of the passage.

"Pewter Gym, here I come!"

New book launch! Seeking recommendations, monthly votes, and continued reading! I'll do anything!
