One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 551 The New World

The implementation of the sea discharge plan was not hindered in the slightest.

One reason is that this was a proposal put forward by the Straw Hat Pirates, the strongest force in the world today.

On the other hand, it is also because, in the face of a possible cataclysmic crisis in the future, rather than leaving the disaster to future generations, it is certainly more reassuring to eliminate all possible disasters in the present, trusting in the wisdom of future generations.

Soon, one after another, enormous machines that were incomprehensible to the world were built at the coastlines of island after island, and began to continuously draw seawater and perform operations that ordinary people could not understand.

The Ocean Drain Project was a final plan developed by Vegapunk and his research forces over three days and three nights, and finalized by Red.

In addition to the antimatter space import and artificial ocean on the moon that Red and Vegapunk initially researched, this project also deployed a series of factories specifically designed to consume seawater, such as seawater salt production, seawater desalination, seawater land transfer, and seawater extraction of PYROBROIN factor, based on the different conditions of each region.

These factories will become “nationalized” enterprises of the coalition government, receiving substantial government funding, resources, and technological support. They will create local jobs and consume products on a large scale, regardless of cost or even in a charitable manner.

In addition, Pokémon World will become a mainstream game with an official background. Although the game's currency cannot be exchanged with external currencies, it can be used to exchange for products produced by various "nationalized" factories.

Whether players use it themselves or sell it at a low price for money, it will be a good choice.

With Vegapunk's latest announcement on the Pokémon World website, claiming that he is about to break through the barrier between real-world and real-world Pokémon, he will have the opportunity to transfer the consciousness of Pokémon from the game world into real-world Pokémon...

While the potential of Pokémon in the real world may not be the same as in the game world, just having a near-maximum loyalty and powerful combat ability is enough to make many people flock to them.

The ocean reclamation plan, which appears to be designed to shape the future of the world, is actually quite simple, down-to-earth, and practical in its implementation.

This is a battlefield where humanity and nature clash.

As for who the final winner will be, only time will tell.

The world is destined to be anything but peaceful during this period.

The global ocean reclamation projects, the purge of countries loyal to the former World Government, the promotion of the new United Government system, the liberation of slaves around the world, and the punishment of those who try to take advantage of the chaos...

Even with the help of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet and various talented individuals under the Straw Hats, the coalition government has been extremely busy lately.

It is said that Dragon, Sabo, and other high-ranking officials have not had a proper rest for a week.

However, for the sake of their greater cause, this is exactly the scene they want to see.

Meanwhile.

Just as the pirate world was undergoing an unprecedented upheaval, the Straw Hat Pirates, who were responsible for all of this, quietly left the planet amidst the attention of everyone.

That's right! ! !

Although everything was rushed and hurried, that's the Straw Hat Pirates!

An adventure that begins on a whim is about to unfold!

……

……

Amidst the vast expanse of stars and seas, the Merry, adorned with a dreamlike coating, floats in the universe. The deep blue light ripples on the surface of the coating, as if the blue star has bestowed its final blessing upon this ship that dares to explore the heavens.

On the deck of the Merry.

"Wow!!! Is this the starry universe!?"

"So this is what our planet looks like!!!"

"This is truly amazing! I never imagined I would witness such a scene in my lifetime. How fortunate I am!!!"

“…………”

“…………”

Although the Straw Hat Pirates have long considered the starry sky as their next goal, in reality, only Luffy and Red have actually reached it so far.

For everyone else, it was their first time breaking through the atmosphere and truly witnessing the vastness of the universe.

Even the usually composed Zoro couldn't help but show a look of amazement as he gazed at the spectacular scene outside the plating, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, unsure of which direction to look in.

"Haha~ I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

"The magnificence of the starry sky can only be truly appreciated by those who have actually been there!"

Seeing the astonished looks on his companions' faces, Crimson burst into laughter, but quickly added:

"However, while enjoying the beautiful starry sky, you must not forget to be vigilant about your surroundings."

"Before we truly settle down, everyone should work hard during this period and not rest, and do our best to monitor the starry sky from all angles."

"Oh, right, Nami~"

Red suddenly turned his head and said to Nami, who was standing next to Franky:

"How is it? Once you're in the starry sky, are your mapping abilities still usable? Can you create a star map of the vicinity of Earth?"

"It seems there shouldn't be any problems so far."

Nami looked at the projection recorded and created by Franky in front of her, and nodded confidently:

"It's just turning a two-dimensional diagram into a three-dimensional one. The complexity is indeed a bit higher, but it's still within my capabilities."

"Furthermore, having Franky as the recorder throughout will make many of my tasks much easier."

"That's good then." Crimson nodded knowingly.

Constructing a star map was arguably the most important thing they had done since leaving Earth.

Even though the Going Merry now stores a large number of Vivre Cards belonging to the Straw Hat crew, who knows if the Vivre Cards have any distance limitations...

Do not!

It should be said that life cards will definitely have distance limitations.

The only difference is the distance!

After all, nothing in this world is without limits.

Therefore, in order to avoid problems with their life cards in the future and being unable to find their way back to Earth, the star map starting from Earth is their only direction.

Fortunately, Franky has now been completely modified and possesses the Vegapunk device's exploration radar, which can record everything the Merry goes through in 3D virtual images.

Then Nami used her knowledge to mark the planets, constellations, and star regions in the images one by one.

Even if these interstellar environments change in the future, they can still find their general direction using star maps.

And so, the Straw Hat Pirates officially stepped into the starry sky, becoming the first Star Pirates crew on Earth!

……

……

Time flies like an arrow.

Traveling under the stars was even more tedious than Crimson had imagined.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

Despite following the "Space Pirate" Vivre Card, the Going Merry still hasn't discovered a single extraterrestrial life form.

However, Red and the Straw Hat crew were not discouraged at all.

After all, this was something they already knew before they left Earth.

Vegapunk once speculated that if space pirates truly existed in space, and they could freely travel from outside the regions of space he observed to the moon…

Therefore, their space travel technology must be at least hundreds of years ahead of Earth's, or even longer.

Even for Vegapunk, creating such a flying machine would not be an easy task.

Even though... they still have a Starship King as a reference template.

Based on Vegapunk's research on Uranus, he was confident that he could build a basic spacecraft within three years.

But three years... might not be much for a technological leap, but for the Straw Hat Pirates who were full of anticipation, it was far too long.

By the time Vegapunk developed new space travel technology and applied it to the Going Merry, it was too late.

Therefore, instead of waiting for Vegapunk's research results, Crimson thought they should be bolder and go straight into space.

Regardless of whether they can find the space pirates recorded in the Vivre Card, at least following this direction will give them the greatest chance of encountering cosmic creatures or forces.

In any case, having a star map as a backup plan for the Straw Hat Pirates gives them the ability to retreat.

On the other hand, even if the star map is ineffective, thanks to Crimson's ability to continuously extract tree fruits from the machine, they will never have to worry about food.

In addition, there's a large number of fertile creatures stored in Usopp's storage space, and Redfield, who can extend his lifespan through blood consumption...

The Straw Hat Pirates also don't need to worry about their lifespan.

Survival and time were not things they needed to worry about.

In other words, aside from powerful enemies and celestial phenomena beyond their comprehension, they are absolutely capable of finding legendary extraterrestrial life in this starry sky.

Although the danger is not zero, it has been reduced to a minimum.

If they still don't dare to set foot in the stars, then they're not the Straw Hat Pirates!

……

……

Time passed once more.

In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.

It has to be said that even with all the preparations, the six-month-long time travel still left the Straw Hat Pirates feeling "unbearably lonely".

Fortunately, before this, Red had made the entire Straw Hat Pirates undergo several long periods of arduous training.

After confirming that the dangers of the starry sky were not common, Crimson and his crew only left enough people on the deck each day, while the rest stayed in the training space of the Going Merry to continue their dedicated cultivation.

In the past six months, Red has taken the Straw Hat crew to and from the Pokémon world quite often.

Now, compared to the final battle with the World Government, everyone's level has undergone a new level of advancement.

Currently, the average level of the Straw Hat Pirates has exceeded 83!

Among them, Zoro and Sanji made rapid progress and reached level 95.

As for Luffy, the strongest among them, he has reached level 100 from level 93 under Red's special care!

It has reached the level cap in the Pokémon games.

This also deprived Luffy of the possibility of gaining more experience and advancing further.

Of course, these are not the point.

The limit of the level was something Crimson had anticipated long ago.

Throughout the journey, although the machine has shown many amazing features, most of the rules regarding Pokémon are still based on the world of Pokémon games.

The level cap of 100 is also one of the game's rules.

So whether it's to break the rules or to push the limits...

this day.

The game world, Hualan Cave.

boom!!!!

With a deafening roar, a level 90 Mewtwo was ultimately no match for Luffy's outrageous Nika power and was defeated by his heavy punch.

In an instant, a series of familiar system notification pop-ups flashed across the crimson-red eyes like a screen being refreshed:

[Congratulations to the player for defeating Mewtwo (level 90), the final boss of the second playthrough of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!/Let's Go, Eevee!, triggering the achievement reward: Legendary Pokémon Conqueror!]

The Legendary Pokémon template, Mewtwo template, has been updated to the latest level.

[Congratulations to the player for completing all the story content in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!/Let's Go, Eevee!, triggering the achievement reward: Master of the Game!]

[Detection revealed that the player has enabled all accounts to access the game; achievement: "King of the Stages" reward failed to trigger!]

Nourishes...

A distinct electrical hum suddenly flashed past my reddened ear.

The machine interface in front of him suddenly flickered as if the system had malfunctioned.

However, looking at the scene before him, Crimson seemed unfazed.

However, as time passed, the machine's flashing frequency increased.

At this moment, seeing such a crimson scene, although not too panicked, one couldn't help but feel nervous.

after all……

"The previous attempts to trigger the achievement didn't show such a big change!"

"Now that I've completed all the Pokémon games twice, will the console be affected in any way?"

"Will things remain unchanged and continue as they are, or will new rules be introduced, or... will it be completely paralyzed, preventing me from using cheats!?"

Although one of the three options is one that Crimson absolutely cannot accept.

But he doesn't think his machine will stop there.

Or, to put it another way, if the machine's limit is only level 100 in the Pokémon world...

That crimson color would actually make her very sad.

After all, according to Crimson's observations, a level 100 strength is roughly equivalent to that of Im, who is located on Blue Star.

Aside from being immortal and indestructible, they could easily destroy a country or city with a flick of their wrist.

But compared to the star-destroying dream that Crimson longs for, it is still out of reach.

So in the end, Crimson decided to take a gamble and complete all the games on the machine in a second playthrough!

This time, he...is going to test the machine's limits!

Sizzle sizzle...

The chaotic electrical hum grew increasingly rapid, causing the virtual screen in front of the crimson figure to flicker even more frequently.

But at that moment, a seven-colored ray of light suddenly flashed and disappeared from the center of the screen.

The NS screen then froze.

The static in my ears disappeared.

Instead, Crimson heard an electronic notification tone from the machine for the first time:

[Ding! The player has completed all currently played games. A new game interface has been updated. Please select your preferred game.]

wow——

A glint of light flashed in his crimson eyes.

The game names reflected in his pupils magnified the glint of light, making it seem almost tangible.

All of this was because familiar icons and game names appeared before Crimson's eyes...

At this moment, staring at the endless list of arcade games, even though Crimson really didn't want to admit it...

But he...

It seems I accidentally broke my own computer...

It's been cracked!?
