One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 540 Who doesn't have a baby?

"What!?"

"You mean, knowing that we possess a powerful treasure, the World Government not only didn't choose to remain holed up in Mary Geoise, but instead prepared to mobilize all its forces to attack the Pokémon Sea!?"

"Such a good thing exists in the world?!"

Pokémon Ocean.

Awakened from the game world by the ringing of the phone, Akane stared in surprise at the virtual image of Aokiji projected onto her personal terminal, letting out a puzzled exclamation.

While the outside world is abuzz with the news of the Straw Hat Pirates becoming the Pirate King and the truth of history, the Straw Hat Pirates themselves are eerily quiet.

Even the members of the large fleet who had previously made a great public appearance, except for a few who needed to exchange fame for profit, have now all quieted down and devoted themselves to their own cultivation.

It wasn't that they were able to endure loneliness and behave themselves, but rather that after returning from Laugh Tale, Crimson immediately issued an order to everyone in the Grand Fleet, forcing them to level up quickly.

In the near future, the Straw Hat Pirates will establish their first extraterrestrial base on the moon, and outstanding individuals will be selected from the Straw Hat Grand Fleet to manage this base.

Despite being the base's administrators, the Straw Hat Pirates are currently the only force that can freely travel through space using their abilities!

Being able to manage an extraterrestrial base means you can essentially manage an entire planet!

As for the lack of personnel or resources on the moon?

Are you kidding me?!

In the world of One Piece, there is no shortage of unfortunate people struggling to escape their current predicament amidst various forms of oppression and danger!

Although the slaves in Mary Geoise were freed, there were countless others throughout the world who were treated as slaves or even worse.

The revolutionary army is still struggling to figure out what to do with these poor people!

If Straw Hat gives the order, countless people would be willing to follow the Straw Hat Pirates to the moon to survive.

Although the environment there certainly won't be much better in the initial stages, everything starts from scratch, everything is distributed according to work, it's fair and just, and everyone has a chance...

For these unfortunate people, this is already a luxury that is hard to come by!

The decision to establish an extraterrestrial base on the moon was not a spur-of-the-moment decision made by Red and his crew.

After learning from history that such a treasure as the Sun Crystal could be born in the universe, Crimson and the others immediately put away their previous contempt for the universe.

Clearly, the mysteries of the universe are endless, perhaps even far exceeding the fantasies of Crimson in various literary works.

However, there is also room in the universe for the weak to survive.

Crimson, with a keen sense of self-awareness, categorized them, who were new to the starry sky, as the "weak."

Although Luffy was displeased when he said this in the meeting room, everyone in the Straw Hat crew knew that Red was right.

If one solar crystal can appear in the universe, then a second one can appear!

For every failed Im, there is a successful one!

Everything on Earth now seems trivial to them; their top priority is to gain a foothold in space.

Continuously searching for habitable planets and building extraterrestrial bases to provide supplies is a very good approach.

After hanging up the call with Aokiji, Akame immediately fell into a state of deep thought.

Im's do-or-die decision was indeed somewhat unexpected.

However, Crimson didn't see this as a bad thing.

Previously, he was worried that Mary Geoise might have some hidden cards that Im might have up his sleeve, so he never dared to start the final battle with the World Government.

Although it's not explicitly stated in the historical records, Red has guessed that the "national treasure" Doflamingo mentioned in the anime is likely the so-called Solar Crystal.

However, we cannot rule out the possibility that Im has other tricks up his sleeve.

After all, it's possible that an immortal who has lived for eight hundred years might possess some special abilities.

However, it's not accurate to say that the Straw Hat Pirates would be afraid of Im because of this.

After all, Im and the others' impression of the Straw Hat Pirates was still based on their attack on Mary Geoise.

After months of relentless leveling up, the Straw Hat Pirates' base level has now reached an absurdly high level.

With a thought, Crimson appeared before his eyes the Pokémon information interface of the machine.

Above, several chibi-style characters belonging to the Straw Hat Pirates were prominently marked by Red.

Monkey D. Luffy, level 93;

Roronoa Zoro, level 89;

Vinsmoke Sanji, Class of '89;

Nami, level 72;

Usopp, level 70;

Nico Robin, Level 75;

Tony Tony Chopper, Level 77;

Franky, level 72;

Brook, level 76;

Jinbe, level 82;

Uta, level 65;

Barolorik Redfield, Class of '91;

Lab, level 80;

Mei Li, Class of '78.

The above is the current level information for the Straw Hat Pirates.

To be honest, even Crimson didn't expect that his companions' levels would advance so rapidly when he was going all out.

As everyone's base level increased, the Straw Hat Pirates' overall combat power increased many times over.

The number of people with combat power at the level of a Navy Admiral or above has already reached double digits!

Not to mention Luffy at level 93, Redfield at level 91, Zoro and Sanji at level 89, plus Red, who has completed three games, gained countless boosts, and can switch between various divine beast forms at any time...

If this lineup still can't beat Im, then Red can't imagine how Luffy and his crew in the original story could possibly win.

Of course, rank doesn't represent everything.

Just like Usopp, who only reached level 70 because he spent a lot of time playing the game.

If given the right circumstances, his fighting power would be no less than that of the Four Emperors.

In addition, there's Franky, who can fuse infinitely; Chopper, who can transform in multiple stages; Brook, who can control souls; Nami, who can summon wind and rain; and Merry, who can destroy a country with a single shot…

Any one of them, taken out individually, would be no weaker than Moria and the others who were broadcast live to the world before.

Because the Straw Hat crew were so close to Red, they always enjoyed the best benefits, and the Pokémon power they displayed even surpassed that of Moria and the others.

So far, only Uta in the entire Straw Hat Pirates has relatively weak combat power.

Despite being considered weak, Uta, who has reached level 65, already possesses a physique equivalent to an elite Marine Vice Admiral, even without considering her Devil Fruit abilities.

If you add Utana's still not very proficient Pokémonization and the power of the Song-Song Fruit, he's definitely at least on par with a Yonko's vice-president.

The only pity is that... despite being a world-class singer, Uta's talent in combat is not particularly outstanding; at best, she is comparable to Nami.

He is much stronger than ordinary people, but compared to top experts, he is roughly equal to zero.

Furthermore, Uta's Song-Song Fruit, unlike Nami's Disaster Fruit and Weather Stick, doesn't directly provide her with combat power.

Therefore, Red's next plan is to make up for the last weakness of the Straw Hat Pirates!

Although he said he didn't care about Uta's actual combat ability, as a trainer, how could he just stand by and watch his partner fall behind the team?

Moreover, it's not like Uta isn't immune to the possibility of becoming stronger!

do not forget,

The Demon of Song, sealed within the Kingdom of Eregia, is still obediently sealed within the kingdom's ruins.

Red originally planned to help Uta find the Song Demon King as a fighting force before the final battle with the World Government.

Since the World Government can't wait any longer, they might as well take a little extra time.

Otherwise, during a major battle, it would be rather unsightly to have all your comrades fighting on the front lines while Uta is left to clean up the smaller enemies in the rear.

Even though Uta's ability to clear out small fry is comparable to Usopp's.

As the saying goes, it is not scarcity that is a concern, but inequality.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to find anyone in the Straw Hat Pirates whose strength falls below the level of a Yonko commander.

Snapped!

Thinking of this, Crimson suddenly snapped her fingers.

In an instant, a beautiful figure appeared out of thin air in front of Crimson.

"Merry, please call Uta here for me."

"No problem~"

Having grown accustomed to her role as housekeeper, Little Meryl chuckled and vanished once more.

A short while later, there was a sudden knock on the crimson door.

With Chi Hong's permission, Uta, who had her hair in red and white pigtails, stepped in.

"Crimson, you're looking for me?" Uta asked, her face full of confusion.

Crimson smiled slightly.

"Uta, do you still remember the sheet music for that Totemjika!?"

"Totemjika!?" Uta was slightly taken aback, but relying on the trust she had cultivated in Crimson over this period, she answered immediately despite her doubts:

"Remember!"

"Didn't you, Crimson, have Gordon give me that sheet music?"

"Very good~"

Crimson nodded happily, then said directly:

"In that case, let's not delay any longer and set off immediately!"

"Set off!? Where to?"

Uta blinked her large, questioning eyes as she looked into the dimensional portal that Crimson had summoned into the room.

The next moment, her body suddenly became suspended in the air, and she rushed towards the other-dimensional hole with both feet off the ground.

Uta, knowing that Crimson was using telekinesis to control him, did not struggle.

With each alternation of dimensional portals and teleportations, the world in Uta's view was like a vortex tunnel, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

This phenomenon lasted for several minutes before Uta's vision returned to normal.

She blinked hard, trying to clear her head as quickly as possible, as she felt dizzy from the shaking.

There's no way around it; even Crimson, who never needs to level up, is now far stronger than Uta, who is only an elite lieutenant general.

This high-intensity time travel is still a bit too much for Uta to handle.

But it won't cause her any harm.

A dozen seconds later, Uta came to his senses again, looked down at the sky and earth, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"This...this is...Eregia!?"

Uta glanced at Crimson with a puzzled look.

Although Eregia is now in a terrible state, riddled with holes, due to the great battle between Luffy and his crew and the Knights of God.

In some places, the ice has not even completely melted yet.

But Uta, who lived and grew up here, recognized the place immediately.

Thinking back to when Crimson asked him about Totemjika...

"Crimson, do you want me to summon Totemjika here?"

Although it was unclear what Totemjika actually was, both Gordon and Red had given it high praise.

Furthermore, it seems that only he, as the user of the Song-Song Fruit, can summon that thing...

It's impossible to say that Uta wasn't curious.

However, she knew that Totemjika was not a good thing, so she obediently did not take the initiative to explore it.

"That's right!"

Crimson answered without hesitation, then chuckled softly:

"Uta, your fighting skills aren't strong, and your mastery of Pokémon power isn't as proficient as others..."

"So, in order to rapidly improve your combat power, I've specifically chosen a new combat path for you..."

"Summoning style!"

"Summoning style?"

A glint flashed in Utana's eye, which was hidden by her bangs and only revealed one eye. As if realizing something immediately, she spoke:

"Red, you mean... you want me to turn Totemjika into a portable combat assistant, like Usopp did!?"

Having been a member of the Straw Hat Pirates for so long, Uta, like everyone else, has quickly adapted to the occasional new words that Akane utters.

With Usopp as a cautionary tale, the astute Uta immediately understood everything.

Crimson smiled without saying a word, but returned Uta a look of affirmation.

"But..." Uta lowered his head worriedly, looking down at the ruins of the Kingdom of Eregia that he had destroyed.

"But Crimson, with my current mental strength, I probably can't control such a powerful monster, right?!"

Uta is no longer the naive girl who knew nothing.

From Gordon's words, she learned that Totem Gika was a monster that even Shanks had to fight with all his might to defeat.

That was because I was too young at the time, and my control over the Devil Fruit's power was only average, so the strength of the Totemjika I summoned was somewhat limited.

Now, he possesses a strong physique, and his mental abilities, which he excels at, have reached a level he never dared to imagine before.

However, she still had no confidence in letting Uta control a special monster with at least the strength of a Yonko.

but……

"Don't worry~"

As Uta had expected, the fact that Crimson had brought her here proved that Crimson already possessed sufficient means to help her achieve her goals.

"You know me, I never fight an unprepared battle."

With a calm and composed smile, Crimson raised one hand.

A purple and white Poké Ball instantly appeared in his palm.

It was none other than the Master Ball that Red had acquired in Pokémon Sword and Shield!

He said confidently:

"With this, even the Totemjika, which only exists in the world of song, I can materialize into a real form!"

"Whether it obeys or not then will be out of its control!!!"
