Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 171 The feasibility of evolution (please subscribe~)

"Luffy! Be careful!"

"This is my final blow!"

"Sun God Shiranui!!!"

bake! ! ! !

A bright red flash suddenly appeared on the sparkling sea, melting the golden sunlight and making the sea red.

The blazing flames formed a vortex in the air and soared into the sky, and soon condensed into a huge flame giant. The terrifying high-temperature flames turned into fists and suddenly blasted forward!

On the other side, Luffy, who had entered gear 4, used the air pressure from his legs to float in the air, with a smile on his face.

After fighting with Ace for half an hour, the energy and blood all over his body was surging crazily.

Facing the attack from Ace, Luffy took a deep breath.

However, under Luffy's blow, he was also seriously injured, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough, the domineering power is still a bit insufficient..."

Just the next second, his huge body suddenly shrank as if it was leaking air.

Looking at the burn damage that had begun to spread down his arm, Luffy suddenly had a pink shimmer and a light breeze around his body, using the ability of Bright Storm to eliminate the burning state left by Ace. .

A piece of green grass spread from the soles of the red feet, all the way to the bodies of Luffy and Ace.

"But now you are just using your energy and energy that was originally used on the fruit ability instead on the fire Pokémon's moves."

"This is a problem with your subconscious mind. Your two-color Haki and even your Overlord-color Haki cannot give you an advantage in battle!"

Whoosh! ! !
A ray of fire suddenly flew out of the flame giant's body like a falling meteor and hit the forest in the distance!
With a rumble and a mournful cry from the earth, countless birds flew away from the lush dense forest and fled into the distance.

At this time, Luffy's physical foundation may be slightly worse than when he just finished training from Rayleigh two years later...

"You have to adjust yourself!"

"And this is also my final blow!!!"

"But the fundamental problem you have now is that your physical and mental resistance is too weak!"

Compared to Luffy, whose physical strength has been greatly reduced, Ace's condition is obviously much better and he is still capable of fighting.

boom! ! ! !

"What!? How did this kid suddenly become so strong!?"

The next moment, Luffy's eyes suddenly flashed: "Sorry, Ace!"

Seeing this scene, the two people who had already become proficient suddenly threw their heads up and fell down, lying on the grass field to recover from their injuries.

On the other side, with the one-handed move of Chihong who was watching the battle from a distance, Ace, who was supposed to fall into the hole in the forest debris, fell directly from the extra-dimensional hole back to the beach.

Two giant black and red fists like cannonballs suddenly attacked!

"Rubber...double-bomb rocket launcher!!!"

At this time, Chi Hong walked on the green grass and came between Luffy and Ace, his eyes swept over the two embarrassed figures.

Red first looked at Ace: "First of all, you, Ace."

The air flow seemed to materialize, hanging on both sides of his mouth.

"Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, it will be difficult to join the ranks of the top experts!"

Luffy, who knocked Ace away for the first time, suddenly had an excited smile on his face.

"Logically speaking, with your strength, you shouldn't be knocked away by Luffy so easily!"

"Although jetting flames can indeed make your flame temperature higher, it also has a certain burning ability."

"Hey!"

"The person I am today is completely different from yesterday!!!"

Ace, who had never experienced using the Pokémon game world to upgrade and become stronger, immediately had a look of surprise on his face.

wow——

The originally mighty flame giant also turned into little stars and dissipated in the air.

"Although you did listen to me and no longer rely too much on the fruit's ability to fight..."

His body was covered in scars and in an unspeakable state of embarrassment.

But before his brain could react, Luffy's fist had already struck his body.

Then he suddenly clicked his tongue: "The problem is still very serious~"

Unable to maintain his fourth gear, Luffy returned to his original body and landed on the soft sand, panting.

With the power of Armament Haki, Luffy's fist directly broke through the flame giant's body, and he found Ace's figure along the scorching flames.

But due to the increase in Pokémon energy and the effects of bodybuilding moves, his current strength has surpassed what he was when he defeated Doflamingo in the original timeline! ! !

The clicking mechanical sound sounded, more like announcing to the opponent in front what kind of terrifying power the crimson arm contained!

As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy's two thick, mechanical-like arms suddenly pushed back, compressing his fists into his arms, like a heavy cannon ready to go.

Red scolded Ace without mercy.

Although judging from the result of the battle, Luffy, who was unable to use Haki, would definitely not be able to defeat Ace, who still had some physical strength left.

But this was what was supposed to happen, and it couldn't be a reason for Ace to shirk.

"I...I will adjust..."

Ace, who was lying on the ground, didn't offer any rebuttal.

In fact, he had heard Chi Hong say the same thing more than once, but the convenience and power of Devil Fruit abilities had already created inertia in his body, and it was not easy to change.

There is also the issue of domineering that Chi Hong mentioned...

Perhaps it was because he had stayed with Whitebeard for too long, and the family-like warmth brought by his companions had stopped him from pursuing too much power.

So until now, his level of Overlord Haki is not much different from that of Luffy who had just awakened.

There is no problem in cleaning up the trash fish, but it is a bit difficult to use it in battle.

"I hope so."

Chihong, who could see that Ace was indeed making corrections, did not say anything more, but directly turned his gaze in Luffy's direction again.

of course.

Under the training of Red Red who has traveled through time for almost three years now, Luffy has long known what path he wants to take.

All the problems he is showing in the battle can be attributed to his own lack of domineering power and lack of proficiency in using the fourth gear, which can be compensated for.

This problem is not difficult to solve.

When it comes to cooking, just practice more!
Whether it's sparring in real life or fighting in the game world, as long as Luffy keeps trying Gear Four...

With his potential, it won't take long for him to completely master the fourth gear.

As for the next 5 gears, we can only leave it to fate.

After all, even Chi Hong has no idea how to get Luffy to develop Gear 5.

You can't invite Mr. Kai here from the New World and let him give Luffy a stick, right? !
after an hour.

After lunch, Luffy and Ace started a new round of sparring without stopping, under the disbelieving eyes of the Bellamy Pirates.

Looking at the overlord-colored and domineering collision that seemed to tear the entire world apart, the flame giant that smeared the sky, the fourth-speed rubber man who was more like a spring man than Bellamy...

On this day, the Bellamy Pirates finally understood what true power is.

……

……

"Gudong..."

Sakis held onto a tree trunk with one hand to prevent himself from being knocked away by the impact of the battle.

After choking and swallowing, he said to Bellamy next to him in disbelief:

"B... Bellamy, do you think Lord Doflamingo... can beat these two guys!?"

"That... that's of course~!" Bellamy, who had a bandage on his head, twitched the corner of his mouth and laughed stiffly: "Then... that's Lord Doflamingo!"

"There is no one greater than him in this world!!!"

Although Caton's tone was full of Bellamy's doubts about his words, in the end he unswervingly chose to believe in his idol.

After all...he chose to go to sea just to follow Doflamingo!
……

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of Gaya Island.

Rumble, rumble~
A violent collision sound that was no less powerful than the battle between Luffy and Ace suddenly rose on the coast.

The terrifying impact swept across the entire coast like a storm.

"Cut the green algae head! Your knife seems to have become dull!"

"I think you're the one who's become sluggish, right? The shave just now, the speed has dropped very obviously!"

During the sparring, Zoro and Sanji had firm eyes, but slightly mocking chuckles appeared on their lips, and they exchanged trash talk at each other.

Zoro, who maintains the form of the three-sword style, is glowing with metallic luster. Combined with the rising aura on his body, he is like a giant diamond dragon waving his claws, and the opposite mountain is burning with blazing flames and transforming into a fire demon. Governance confrontation.

In half a month, Luffy was not the only one to improve the strength of the Straw Hat Pirates.

In the constant battles with strong men like Ace, Sauron has already gone from level 49 to level 52, with his total attribute value reaching 955 points.

Combined with his overlord-colored Haki, which he cultivated using the characteristic of oppression, which is stronger than Luffy, and the application of Pokémon energy...

Although Zoro's current strength has not yet reached the minimum standard of the imperial deputy level, if he meets an elite vice-admiral like Flying Squirrel, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose!

As for Sanji, because he has a high-level plug-in, he can even charge faster than Zoro in terms of level improvement!
In half a month, Sanji, who has gradually unleashed his potential, has been promoted to level 5 in a row, and has also entered the level 50 mark, reaching level 50.

Although his total attributes are only 905 points, his use of Pokémon energy is not as good as Zoro's.

But once the power hidden in his body is completely controlled by him.

A BUG-level exoskeleton, a body that can release lightning and fire, and explosive power so fast that it's like becoming invisible...

In the future, Sanji may not be able to surpass Zoro!
In addition to these two guys, everyone else in the Straw Hats didn't slack off at all. Nami read through all the books on the weather of the Grand Line in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Usopp succeeded in breeding more insects and plants suitable for various combat environments.

Chopper also used the blue wave ball to develop more combat forms after his level reached level 30.

With meditation at hand, Robin is improving every moment.

The only ones who may be more troublesome are Xiao Meili and Rab.

The problem for the two of them now is not even how to gain experience in daily life, but their racial values ​​that are obviously weaker than other partners!
Although becoming Pokémon gives them the semi-digital ability to upgrade and become stronger, according to the settings of the Pokémon game, it will be more difficult to increase the level later.

At that time, the cost-effectiveness of leveling with other partners of the same level will be many times higher than leveling with Labu and Meili.

Even Chihong herself can't guarantee whether she will have some other ideas.

So in order to avoid this situation, he has been looking for ways to improve the talents of Rab and Meili.

Although I don’t know if it can be successful, Chihong wants to give it a try!
After all, so far, the evolution mechanism of Pokémon has never been reflected in the Straw Hats!
I don’t know if they don’t have the next stage of evolution, or if some conditions haven’t been triggered yet.

However, since the Pokémon world has the possibility of evolution through various props or environments...

Meili, Rab and the others may not be without this hope.

And hope for the strongest...

Definitely Xiao Meili.

After all, although the wood used to create Little Meili can be considered a high-grade material in the East China Sea, in the bizarre and bizarre Great Sea Route, it can only be considered an ordinary wood!

Chihong plans to buy some high-end materials when she arrives in the Capital of Seven Waters, and then let Wapol use the fruit's ability to fuse them to create them, adding the craftsmanship of the boatmen there...

I don’t know if I can trigger the ultimate evolution of Pokémon and make little Meili become a better version of myself!
As for filibuster...

Although it was somewhat difficult and far away, he placed his hope on Vegapunk in the new world.

After all, he can even create an entirely mechanical sea beast army.

It shouldn't be too difficult to make some upgrades on the already transformed Labu.

Time passed slowly as the Straw Hats were busy.

Although they don't have any information now, they don't know what the future will look like.

But each of them knows that as long as they are strong enough, the turbulent undercurrent of the world will never reach them.

……

……

Silent all night.

After a day of high-intensity training, Luffy didn't have any time to rest. He followed Red directly to the Pokémon world and once again stood on the wooden floor of the light red gym.

"Can you handle it, Luffy?"

Seeing Luffy, who had been without any rest except eating for almost a day and a night, Chihong couldn't help but asked with concern.

What he got was an extremely firm answer from Luffy:
"Of course!"

"My limit is still far from reached!"

Peng!
Luffy looked at the empty field ahead with excitement on his face.

"Really?" Chihong, who knew Luffy was eager to become stronger and save Ace, said nothing more.

Anyway, Luffy, who has the characteristic of regenerative power, is indeed far superior to ordinary people in terms of battery life.

It's not a problem to stay up for a few days and nights.

"If that's the case, let's clear this gym as quickly as possible!!!"

Chihong, who also didn't need sleep after practicing primitive power, shouted energetically.

Luffy's eyes flashed and he responded with a trembling voice: "Just let them come here!"

In an instant, the two of them took steps forward, groping in this strange maze that seemed empty but actually contained various air walls.

Although the poison system represented by the light red gym has extra damage bonus to Luffy who has the fairy attribute, under the absolute level and strength, it is enough for Red to become a reverse attribute master.

The two went on a rampage, hitting anyone they saw and going around walls...

Finally, after nearly two hours of power consumption in the game world, they successfully arrived in front of the light red gym leader A'jue.

As the gym leader, Aju's Pokémon not only have much higher levels than the previous gym trainers, but each one is between level 48 and level 50.

Even the number of Pokémon is more than that of ordinary roadside trainers, only one short of the full complement of 6.

Fortunately, within the rules of the game world, they can only fight with Luffy one by one.

Otherwise, even Luffy would suffer a lot if he had to deal with five poison-type Pokémon at level 5 at the same time.

And even if it was just a simple wheel battle, Luffy didn't feel much better.

Although his Bright Storm move can quickly clear the poisoned state of the body.

However, due to his continuous fighting for too long and his own problems, it was almost difficult for him to maintain his 4th gear posture when he reached the back.

By the time Aju got his last Pokémon, Gear 4 even began to become a burden for Luffy again.

"No! It can't end so easily!!!"

Just as his body was about to deflate, Luffy's face covered with flame patterns suddenly became ferocious.

He gritted his teeth and refused to breathe out his last breath.

The glaring eyes were like bells, trembling non-stop.

"If I can't hold on here, what else can I do to save Ace!!!"

boom! ! !
Luffy stepped on the wooden floor, instantly creating a huge deep hole in the specially designed place of the gym.

Seeing this scene, Ah Jue's expression suddenly changed.

After all, in his programmed memory, in order to cope with battles between Pokémon, the materials used in this gym were far from being easily broken!

However, before Ah Ju could react, a terrifying aura like a god and demon suddenly spewed out of Luffy's body!

In an instant, the entire gym felt like a strong wind passing through, enveloped by a shocking mental shock.

"This...this is..."

Feeling the tremors and dizziness that came from time to time in his mind, Aju's heart suddenly went crazy.

Attacking a trainer... is illegal, right? ?
Raging flames and blazing thunder surged around Luffy.

However, Luffy, who finally mobilized the deeper strength in his body to maintain the 4th gear state, did not hesitate at all.

With a flash of his body, it turned into a blazing bolt of lightning and struck straight towards the level 50 cross-shaped bat flying in mid-air.

Before it could react, Luffy, who had already opened his mouth and concentrated the destructive death light impact, was already at its side.

“Rubber – Blast!!!”

boom! ! !
With the impact of Overlord Color, the violent energy in Luffy's mouth suddenly surged forward, directly penetrating the body of the cross-shaped bat.

However, Luffy didn't stop at all after the attack.

Relying on the powerful mobility possessed by Gear 4, he was able to resist the stiffness in his body after activating the destructive death ray. He once again curled up his arm into the shape of a heavy cannon and used his other hand as a standard frame. Accurately locate the location of the cross-shaped bat.

Seeing this scene, Orange, who woke up from Luffy's domineering aura, immediately shouted loudly:
"Crossword Bat! Get out of the way!!!"

He had seen this move of Luffy's many times just now.

After all, his first four Pokémon all fell to Luffy's attacks.

The cross-shaped bat, which was hit by the impact of the destruction and death ray and hit the edge of the gym, had a painful expression on its face, but it still immediately flew into the air and distanced itself from Luffy.

The level 50 flying Pokémon, Catbat, can fly at a very impressive speed in the air!
It won't be that easy to hit it.

However, just when Ah Jue was thinking about this...

"it's useless!"

A red voice suddenly reached Ah Ju's ears, causing him to look at the trainer opposite.

But Chihong had an inexplicable smile on her lips and said to him:
"You can't dodge Luffy's attack!!!"

As if to reflect the red words, Luffy suddenly said with hot breath:
"Rubber · Playfulness Orochi Fist!!!"

Whoosh! ! ! !

The arm with a blood-black armament and domineering aura suddenly flew out, but it was passed by the cross-shaped bat's sharp movement.

Seeing this, Ah Ju breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he once again assumed the calm posture that a gym leader should have, and smiled at Chi Hong:

"The Pokémon you raised are indeed very powerful!"

"But the continuous battles have already exhausted him!"

"With the speed of the Crossbat, it's impossible for your Pokémon to hit it!"

"Oh? Is this really the case!?" Chihong's expression did not change and she smiled softly.

And the next second, a scene that stunned Ah Jue appeared...

A faint pink light suddenly appeared on the fist that was thrown away by Luffy and had obviously lost its target.

Immediately afterwards, the lightning-fast fist suddenly rebounded in the air like a rubber band, making a soft buzzing sound.

And the fist that was pulled by the "rubber band" suddenly changed its direction and struck behind the cross-shaped bat in horror! ! !

Because it is a bat Pokémon, Crossbat is extremely sensitive to sound waves and has shown a more powerful insight than Haki.

Even though he didn't see anything, he still flapped his wings and dodged Luffy's attack again.

But all this is just a replay of what happened three seconds ago.

buzz~
The arm that flew out came into play again under the influence of the fairy ability, changing the flight trajectory of Luffy's fist.

Although Luffy has not yet developed a move that allows him to change the direction of his attack with his Haki, but thanks to the playful moves he has mastered before...

Luffy has successfully used the changing characteristics of fairy energy to create a unique [Orochi Fist] move~!
