Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 403 Inviting Vegapunk (asking for monthly ticket~)

[Intelligence 1: The reversed world entered from Cake Island seems to have no connection with the Pirate World and is still part of the Pokémon World.]

[Intelligence 2: The reverse world is a vast space. The exact size of the space is unknown, but it is definitely much larger than the Pokémon area on Cake Island.]

[Intelligence 3: Things affected by the ability of the Pirate World Fruit or other forces will automatically cut off their original connection after entering the antimatter space.]

[Intelligence 4: …]

……

……

"It's really amazing... the antimatter world!"

The time was seven days after the Five Elder Stars were defeated.

Chi Hong, who did not dare to stay in the antimatter world for too long, directly used Milibela Palace's body as the base point, left a spiritual mark, and used it as a space fulcrum to conduct many experiments on the antimatter world.

Although he had some understanding of the antimatter world in previous anime, this is not the real Pokémon world after all, so Red cannot guarantee that this is the antimatter world he is familiar with.

Fortunately, with the powerful experimental subject of Milibela Palace, Chihong became bolder.

After seven days of testing, he finally confirmed...

This antimatter world seems to be just an ordinary different dimension.

Its only function is to cut off the support of the pirate world's power over individuals.

Just like the power belonging to Im in Saint Satan and Milibela Palace.

At the same time, Red also conducted a special experiment using Hancock's sweet fruit.

Results prove……

The power of petrification, which no one except Hancock could remove, mysteriously disappeared after entering the antimatter world, allowing the two petrified wild boars to regain their vitality.

According to Red's simple investigation, he did not find any living creatures in the antimatter world, and naturally there was no sign of the Antimatter Dragon Giratina.

Due to the lack of more advanced equipment and ideas, after reaching these conclusions, Chihong temporarily treated the antimatter world as a huge prison and imprisoned the Milibela Palace.

……

……

As expected, the battle on Casey Island once again caused a stir around the world.

After all, many of the destroyed goods were intended to be exported by the Straw Hat Pirates, so they had to give an explanation to those buyers.

that's it……

Although the Straw Hat Pirates suffered heavy losses this time due to the attack of the Five Elders.

But from the results, the Straw Hat Pirates, who independently restrained the Five Elders and even captured one of them, have completely established their reputation in the underground world.

Nowadays, no one will say that the Straw Hat Pirates obtained the position of the Four Emperors with the help of others.

Able to face the World Government alone, a sea area that the Five Elders had to rely on sneak attacks to invade...

The Straw Hat Pirates have truly deserved the title of the Four Emperors.

But for the Straw Hat Pirates at this moment, no one cares about all this anymore.

……

……

"cheers!!!"

"Welcome the world's greatest singer-Ms. Uta!!! Join the Straw Hat Pirates!!!"

“Welcome Uta!!!”

Peng——

The exquisite glasses filled with fine wine suddenly collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

Above the castle at the final center of Cake Island, on the platform that was originally used by Big Mom to hold tea parties.

All members of the Straw Hat Pirates showed happy smiles on their faces and welcomed the new member Uta.

Because we had been dealing with the affairs of Casey Island before, the welcome party was not officially started until today.

Although Uta is now somewhat famous, he is still far from being as well-known as in the original plot.

Facing a group of pirates who were famous on the sea, Uta, who was not very clear about their life stories, showed the sweetest smile at this moment.

“Thank you~ Thank you everyone!!!”

Uta bowed suddenly, thanked everyone for the welcome, and sang a song on the spot, accompanied by Brook, which brought the banquet to a perfect end.

……

……

【Pokémon: Uta】

【Level: 29】

[Gender: Concave]

[Personality: Stubborn (+Attack-Special Attack)]

[Attributes: Super, Fairy]

[Features: Magical Guardian (incredible power, only attacks far beyond its power can produce an effect)]

[Skill: None]

[Experience value: 0/2711]

[Total attributes: 461]

……

……

"Magical protection? There is such an outrageous characteristic!?"

Looking at Uta's attribute interface, Chihong, who originally thought that her attribute values ​​were a bit low, completely overturned his previous idea after seeing her characteristic introduction.

Only attacks far beyond its power can produce results! ?
Doesn't that mean that with just this one characteristic, Uta is already invincible in his class! ?
The Song-Song Fruit was already a bug, and coupled with Uta's magical guardian properties...

"It seems like I accidentally brought back a big daddy for the Straw Hats?"

There was a gleam of light in the red eyes.

This also suddenly reminded him of the real reason why they were looking for Uta.

……

……

"Bulu Bulu~"

"Bulu Bulu~"

Eggshell Island, in a laboratory that towers into the clouds.

The Den Den Mushi that had been protected by a confidential device suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the laboratory.

"Um!?"

Vegapunk, who was researching some new technology with his clones, was suddenly stunned.

After noticing which Den Den Mushi was ringing, he immediately dropped the work at hand and picked up the Den Den Mushi.

"Hey, is that Red!?"

"I've seen the previous news. The World Government attacked your waters again, right?"

"I have found other topics here. Don't worry about the Song-Song Fruit. We can talk about it after you are settled."

"Huh? How can that be possible?"

A teasing laugh suddenly rang out from the other end of the line.

"We had a hard time inviting Uta to our pirate group."

"For this, we killed a powerful warrior with the combat power of the Four Emperors!"

"How can you just let it go?"

“What!?” Vegapunk was shocked. “Uta, is that the user of the Song-Song Fruit?”

"Weren't you attacked by the Five Elders? How did you find the user of the Song-Song Fruit?!"

"Hehe~" Chihong chuckled, "Why do you think... the Five Elders suddenly attacked the Pokémon Sea?" But the next moment, Chihong's tone suddenly changed:
"But then again... it's not like there haven't been any changes to our previous plan."

"Vegapunk, have you ever considered changing your location for scientific research?"

"Change place?" Vegapunk was puzzled, but he was smart enough to immediately think of the meaning of Red's words, "Do you want me to go to your place?"

"That's right!"

Chi Hong nodded directly: "Anyway, the situation is already like this. The World Government can't even put together a decent army now, let alone provide you with any economic support."

"It would be better to just come to our side."

"Although we are still far behind the World Government, if we only talk about top resources, we have a unique advantage here~"

With the ability of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit around, the Straw Hat Pirates can get whatever resources they want.

Even if it doesn't exist in this world, they can DIY it themselves.

What's more, if it is combined with the Vinsmoke family's cloning technology and Vegapunk's green serum that can replicate the power of a parahuman fruit...

Wouldn't it be possible to create a group of people with the ability of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit in a very short period of time?
"This……"

After hearing the introduction from Chihong, Vegapunk's heart was instantly moved.

Just as Red said, the World Government's funding has been greatly reduced in the past year.

After Satan Saint's death, he didn't even know who to ask for funding.

After much difficulty, a new one of the Five Elders came to replace Satan as the God of Science and Defense, but before she could get comfortable in the position, she was captured by the Straw Hat Pirates again.

Now, the Straw Hat Pirates have become a restricted area that even the World Government dares not easily enter...

This way, he no longer has to hide and conceal his projects that are strictly prohibited by the World Government.

What Vegapunk didn't expect was...

Just as he was thinking, the red voice came from the Den Den Mushi again:
"Speaking of which, I have another thing I want to talk to you about~"

"Hmm? What's the matter?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Vegapunk's eyes again.

Although he couldn't say that he completely believed in this amazing young man, he was also very much looking forward to Red's ideas that went beyond the world of pirates.

But the next moment, Chi Hong hit the nail on the head and said something that shocked him:

"I guess based on what you've been researching recently, you should have discovered... that this world will be submerged by the sea soon, right!?"

"How...how do you know all this!?"

Vegapunk immediately looked surprised.

After all, this was the conclusion he came to after collecting countless information for decades and conducting close investigations into the conditions of the ocean.

But Chihong seemed to have known about this for a long time.

"It really is... becoming more and more mysterious."

Vegapunk sighed inwardly.

And Chihong also replied:

"I can't explain the specific situation to you, but I think you and I both don't want this world to be submerged by the sea."

"Originally, I was planning to work with you, Vegapunk, to build a batch of spacecraft, and then find a way to send the overflowing seawater from this world into the vast universe."

"This... this is really a peculiar plan!"

When Vegapunk heard the plan from Chihong, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although this sounds like a fantasy, it is definitely a topic that can be studied in depth, at least for Vegapunk, which currently has no solution.

But then, Chihong's words changed again:
"But that was what I thought before!"

"I have a better idea now!"

"What!? Got a better idea?"

Vegapunk was puzzled.

After all, this was a world-class disaster that even his best brain couldn't figure out how to deal with, but now someone told him that there was more than one solution.

"What is it!?" Vegapunk asked immediately.

And Chihong did not keep the secret and answered directly:
"I recently discovered a world that is not in the same space as the Pirate World."

"That world seems to have infinite space. At least it should be no problem to fill up a planet with seawater."

"But the specific situation still needs more detailed investigation."

"So I'd like to ask you, Vegapunk, to come over and provide some technical support and investigate the situation in this space."

"If possible, we might be able to make this planet return to the era of the Land Kingdom like in ancient times!"

“…You~!”

At this moment, Vegapunk was speechless.

Infinite space in another world?
What it is! ?

Vegapunk, who possesses a technological level 500 years beyond that of the pirate world, now feels that he is as ignorant as an ordinary person.

But at least he understood one thing.

That is, he is not the only one in this world who is worried about the future of this planet.

For a moment, he felt a sense of relief that "I am not alone".

After hesitating for a moment, Vegapunk nodded vigorously.

"I see!"

"I will first ask Shakya and Edison to go to your place to get a brief overview of the situation."

"If everything is really as Lord Red said, I will leave immediately and move all my belongings to the Pokémon Sea."

"Waiting for your good news." Chihong smiled slightly.

The phone call was then hung up.

……

……

Meanwhile, at the Revolutionary Army Headquarters.

bang bang bang...

There was a sudden and respectful knock on the door.

Long, who was handling official business, raised his head, put down the quill in his hand, and said:
"Enter."

"Excuse me, Mr. Long."

A young man in a black top hat pushed the door open and walked in with a fax that still smelled of ink in his hand.

The man who came was Sabo, the second in command of the Revolutionary Army and the successor to the future leader.

Because the Battle of Marineford did not happen, he had not yet been affected by Ace's death and was still in a state of amnesia.

Sabo came to the other side of the desk and handed the document in his hand directly to Long.

"Mr. Long, Senior Yixiao from the Navy just sent me a secret report..."

"It seems that the Straw Hat Pirates have something they want to discuss with the top brass of the Revolutionary Army, so they asked Lord Ichisho to convey it."

"The Straw Hat Pirates!?"

Long, who had originally had a calm expression, was suddenly stunned.

Of course he knew about his son's pirate group.

He even knew every move of the Straw Hat Pirates.

But he never imagined that the son of a pirate would one day communicate with him in this way.

"Did Lord Yixiao say what the matter was?" Long raised his head and asked.

But Sabo immediately shook his head: "No."

"But judging from the tone that Senior Yixiao used in the secret letter, it seems that he very much hopes that we can agree to the invitation of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"He even said... this is likely to have a very important relationship with whether our revolutionary army can liberate the world faster!"
