One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 542 The Final Battle

"this……"

Looking at the characteristics and effects on Totemjika's attribute interface, Crimson was speechless for a moment!

This seems to be the longest, most complex, and most impactful feature he has ever seen since he went to sea.

More importantly...

Among the many effects of this characteristic, Crimson only saw the benefits, without a single drawback or limitation!

Oh, wait a minute!

The only limitation might be that there must be a user of the Song-Song Fruit.

Red thought Totemjika's characteristics would be something like punk rock or something related to sound.

He never expected that Totemjika would awaken such an outrageous trait because of his relationship with the user of the Song-Song Fruit.

Symbiosis...

This feature has three effects, each more outrageous than the last.

It's just that compared to others, it amplifies one's own characteristics...

Totemjika's characteristics, however, are more advantageous to Uta, who is its symbiote.

Firstly, the life sharing and damage transfer features alone are enough to help Uta make up for many of his shortcomings in terms of physical talent.

With this effect, it's as if an armor equal to Totemjika's health is conjured out of thin air on top of Uta's already weak health bar, completely solving her weakness in defense.

Furthermore, any injury sustained can be freely transformed.

While it's called freedom, Uta certainly can't withstand the injuries Totemjika suffers. On the contrary, Uta's injuries can be transferred entirely to Totemjika.

As long as Totemjika lives, Uta is invincible!

Furthermore, the second characteristic of the symbiotic property is that it can double all the buff effects.

Uta gains a buff once, which Totemjika shares; Totemjika gains a buff again, which Uta shares.

One buff skill can provide four buffs, that's enough to win big!!!

In comparison, the ability to evenly distribute the debuffs doesn't seem that powerful.

The main reason is that there are only a few Devil Fruit abilities in the One Piece world that can be considered debuffs or buffs.

The third aspect of the symbiotic characteristic elevates this characteristic to a level of perfection.

As a byproduct of the Sing-Sing Fruit user, Totemjika can abandon his physical body in the real world and reside in Uta's mental space.

At that time, as long as Totemjika transfers all his attributes to Uta, he won't have to worry about being harmed.

The 1433 attribute points at level 80 were directly added to Uta, who was only level 65, completely solving the problem of Uta's insufficient combat ability.

This characteristic, or rather, Totemjika, appeared at the perfect time!

……

……

After successfully subduing Totemjika, Red and Crimson did not linger in Eregia.

Although this is where Uta grew up, it holds more bad memories for her.

With a series of standard maneuvers involving a dimensional portal and teleportation, the two quickly returned to the Going Merry in the Pokémon Seas.

The round trip didn't take half a day; most of the time was spent traveling.

This is still the result of Crimson not going at full speed.

For the Straw Hat Pirates now, the current pirate world can no longer support their power.

The final battle with the World Government is not their end in this world.

Rather, it was the starting point for their journey into space!

……

……

"crimson!"

As soon as Red returned to the Going Merry, Luffy and the others, who had received the news, immediately surrounded him.

Zoro, with one hand on his sword, asked with a spirited expression:

"What's going on? I heard the World Government is going to launch another attack on us?"

"Um."

Red nodded in agreement, and Zoro's lips instantly curled into a smile:

"What a bunch of idiots who never learn their lesson!"

"But that's perfect. I haven't even had a single real battle since I mastered my black sword!"

"I hope I can finally get my fill of chopping that bald guy this time!"

Clang!

A flash of cold light appeared, and Zoro's longswords seemed to sense their master's fighting spirit, drawing their sheaths to reveal three sections of black blade.

Each blade is engraved with completely different patterns, emitting a subtle glow.

As Zoro's strength increases at lightning speed, his ability to nurture the Black Blade also reaches a remarkable level.

He, who used to take a long time to nurture a single sword, has now successfully forged all three of his swords into black blades in just a few months.

Furthermore, as Zoro infused them with a large amount of Pokémon energy during their nurturing process, these three longswords are now different from the conventional black swords in the One Piece world, becoming three longswords with Pokémon attributes.

Steel attribute, and the character "道一字".

Dragon attribute, Zacian.

Ghost attribute, Sandai Kitetsu.

The three long swords each inherited one of Zoro's three powerful attributes.

Nowadays, when Zoro fights using three long swords, he can incorporate the effects of Pokémon moves of all three types into a single sword strike.

The sheer power of the effect is something Sanji, who was beaten so badly he was spitting blood, can best attest to.

"What a bunch of forgetful fools!"

At this moment, Sanji also grinned, looking up at the distant sky as if he had traveled through time and space and saw the World Government assembling a fleet and rushing towards them.

"Isn't this perfect?"

"Perfect timing to wipe them all out here!"

Franky punched his own hard body twice, ready for battle as well.

"It's better to be careful, after all, that's Im!" Usopp waved his hand slightly, suddenly summoning a swarm of tiny insects from his body, which quickly spread across the entire Pokémon Sea, dissipating into the air like smoke.

Usopp then spoke again:

"I have released the nanobots. These are special insects that I have newly cultivated. They can suck a person's life force and disturb their mind. Unless you are a top-level expert, it is very difficult to detect their presence."

"When the time comes, as soon as the people from the World Government enter the Pokémon Sea, they will be immediately parasitized by my Nanobugs."

Hehehehe~

Usopp stroked his chin with one hand, a cunning smirk on his face.

Upon hearing this, Red and the others subconsciously released their mental focus to sense the nanobots that Usopp was talking about.

as predicted.

If it weren't for Usopp's reminder, even Red and the others would have almost overlooked those floating objects in the air, which were almost the same size as air particles.

However, once you notice these little things, it's actually quite easy to deal with them.

A single, top-tier, large-scale application of Conqueror's Haki would easily subdue these fragile little creatures.

In short, this is a small but useful tool that can easily deal with enemy grunts. It's not particularly impressive, but it's enough to intimidate the enemy.

Of course, the Straw Hat crew all knew this very well...

These so-called nano-insects are just one of the many methods Usopp employs.

In terms of sheer versatility, Usopp and Franky, who can store vast amounts of supplies and creatures within their bodies, are the most versatile members of the entire Straw Hat Pirates.

At least for now, aside from numerical superiority, Crimson can't think of a way to defeat the two in a head-on confrontation when their strengths are roughly equal.

"Hmph~ Is all that trouble really necessary!?"

"All I need to do is get Haiming to cooperate and spread my song throughout the entire sea..."

"They will all become my puppets then!"

Uta smiled confidently after successfully acquiring Totemjika and strode out from behind Crimson.

Previously, due to her low strength, she rarely had a chance to speak in such situations.

Don't forget, Uta has been toying with Luffy since they were kids.

She has never been the type to keep quiet; she just hadn't had the right opportunity.

Now that I've finally gained this power, of course I have to show it off.

"Um?"

Uta's sudden change naturally surprised the Straw Hat crew.

But Uta just smiled and remained silent, making no attempt to explain to the crowd.

Clearly, she wanted to make a big show of it.

"Miss Uta, you~"

Brook looked at Uta in confusion. He had spent almost all his time, except leveling up, composing music with Uta. He couldn't understand why Uta's demeanor had changed so drastically in just a few moments.

Seeing this, Crimson smiled slightly, then turned his gaze and said directly to the crowd:

"Alright."

"Although it seems that the World Government is no longer worth our serious attention, no one knows whether Im has acquired any other powers in the past eight hundred years."

"So it's always good to be cautious."

"Jinbe, could you please make a trip to Fishman Island and ask the Fishman Island military to help deploy and patrol underwater to prevent the World Government from having any troops or powerful individuals that can move underwater?"

"Robin, go and inform the Revolutionary Army that Mary Geoise will soon face its weakest period in eight hundred years!"

"Let them seize the opportunity themselves. Even if the other party is Luffy's father and second brother, we can't just feed them directly."

"Frankie, coordinate with the research unit and have them present all their achievements from this period. The upcoming battlefield will be their best opportunity to showcase them."

"Nami, find an open area of ​​the sea and use your natural disaster abilities to create an ice field comparable to land to serve as a battlefield."

"We can't let the battle spill over into the islands of the Pokémon Sea. A battle of this scale, even the slightest aftershock, could destroy an island in an instant."

“…………”

“…………”

With a series of pronouncements from Red, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates, except for the idiot Luffy and the directionally challenged Zoro, received a specific task.

Even Rab and Meryl received missions to escort islanders who might be affected to safe areas.

In an instant, the entire Straw Hat Pirates and its various subordinate organizations began to operate rapidly, like a sophisticated machine.

The sound of busy footsteps quickly filled the entire sea area.

Meanwhile.

Meanwhile, the world government on the other side also entered a state of emergency preparedness.

After several previous sneak attacks, the World Government realized that it was virtually impossible to inflict any serious damage on the Straw Hat Pirates by relying on a forced march.

So this time, they abandoned the possibility of a secret operation and started preparations in a high-profile manner.

Of the 170 member states under the World Government, 126 are still willing to follow its lead.

As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

Even though the World Government has suffered repeated setbacks at the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates, many people still believe that this is just a temporary setback.

With the power of the World Government, the Straw Hat Pirates will eventually become dust in history.

Just like the Rocks Pirates and Loki Pirates, who once stirred up the world.

Furthermore, the rulers of these countries are usually also believers in aristocratic bloodlines, much like the Celestial Dragons.

Betraying the World Government is tantamount to betraying their class, so naturally they would never give up their current wealth and status to join the Revolutionary Army, which supposedly unites the people of the world, or the even more ridiculous Straw Hat Pirates.

Thus, under Im's forced conscription, 126 armies from 126 countries also boarded their respective warships and besieged the Pokémon Sea.

In an instant, an army of tens of millions of people marched towards the Pokémon Sea.

Don't assume that all countries are like the Kingdom of Alabasta, where there are only two "protectors" whose strength is at most equivalent to pirates with bounties of tens of millions.

In fact, in many countries, especially in the "Paradise" and "New World" of the Grand Line, there may be more than one strong person with the strength of a Navy Vice Admiral or above.

It's fortunate that the Alabasta Kingdom has a status second only to the Celestial Dragons; otherwise, such a weak kingdom that controls a large economy would have been taken over by others long ago.

Even within the storyline, if it weren't for the Straw Hat Pirates, the main protagonist team, Nefertari might have truly been erased from history.

If these armies were to simultaneously invade the Pokémon Sea from all directions, it would be a real problem for the Straw Hat Pirates.

Fortunately, the Straw Hat Pirates are no pushovers either.

Just like Usopp's nanobugs, their pirate crew has as many of these methods as they need for clearing out small fry.

Time passed slowly.

Rumors, which seemed to have leaked from somewhere, spread throughout the world in just a few days that the World Government was about to engage in a final battle with the Straw Hat Pirates.

Even some countries in the Calm Belt are aware of this war that could potentially change the world order.

In an instant, people shifted their attention from the shock of the historical text to the great battle that was about to begin.

Unbeknownst to many, the situation around the world has become tense.

After all, what you learn from books is never enough.

The world changes of a thousand years ago could only exist in their imagination.

The world changes that will occur a thousand years from now are happening right here in their present day!
