Chapter 8 The opportunity to become a Pokémon (please read~)
Under the night sky, the clean moonlight illuminates the entire sea, reflecting the stars in the quiet and deep sea.
The dark waves beat against the hull of the ship one after another, like playing mysterious musical instruments.
Just then, a lazy yawn broke the silence of the night.
"Ah~ I'm so sleepy!"
Luffy rubbed his face, opened his eyes angrily, and then immediately looked opposite him.
On the other side of the boat, Chihong also slowly woke up.
Perhaps due to the late night environment, a feeling of fatigue also swept over his brain.
"Alas, another shortcoming of the machine has emerged..."
"When entering the game world, although the physical body is in a dormant state, the spirit has not rested."
"It seems that we need to strictly plan the time when we enter the game world in the future, and try to avoid situations that will affect the next day's activities."
After briefly explaining to Luffy what the power of Pokémon is, Red, seeing that the machine's battery was running low, directly recorded the progress inside the dark gray gym, and took Luffy back to the real world.
After looking at the direction on the compass and making sure that the boat had not deviated from their planned route, he said to Luffy:
"Okay, Luffy. Today's adventure time is over."
"It's getting late, you should rest first."
"I will rest after daybreak."
"If everything goes well, we should be able to arrive at the next island at noon tomorrow."
"Ha~! Okay, I'll leave it to you, Chihong."
Although he had not experienced any high-intensity battles, Luffy was indeed a little tired after being active all night.
After yawning and saying hello to Chi Hong, he tilted his head and immediately fell asleep.
"This guy is really heartless."
Seeing this, Chi Hong couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
But soon, he cheered up and looked at the bright moon in the sky to think alone.
"Then, it's okay to be idle. Let's take stock of today's harvest."
Chihong took out a small notebook from the package and began to write and draw on it.
This is his personal habit. When planning, he likes to use paper and pen to record his thoughts.
Even after time travel, his habit has not changed.
In order to prevent himself from forgetting the plot of One Piece, he specially wrote a notebook full of notes and recorded all the details.
Because it is written in Chinese characters, there is no need to worry about people accidentally seeing it and causing unnecessary trouble.
"First of all, in terms of experience, Luffy's experience has successfully increased by 2,500 points in one night. He is still about 3,600 points away from reaching level 47."
"Although there is a concentration of experience babies like the Dark Gray Gym..."
"However, considering that the level of Pokémon encountered in the future will only get higher and higher, Luffy's level will definitely increase by leaps and bounds in the future."
"Secondly, there is the issue of Pokémon moves."
"Judging from Luffy's feedback, when the head hammer skill is activated, it will make Luffy's head harder and more aggressive, and it will also reduce a certain amount of collision damage..."
"Obviously this Pokémon move is not just as simple as letting Luffy master a fighting stance, it will even increase his attack to a certain extent and have other special effects."
"In terms of combat, Pokémon moves are definitely promising!"
Chihong draws dots on the notebook.
He expressed great satisfaction with the power displayed by the headbutt move.
And the process of Luffy learning moves is also very simple and crude.
With just one click on the game world interface, Luffy can instantly master Pokémon moves.
This is simply good news for countless people with learning difficulties!
More importantly...
The move learner is a permanent item and will not disappear after use.
In other words, if Chihong can bring other people into the game world in the future, he can even instantly match them with a suitable set of moves, making their combat power soar quickly.
but……
"I just don't know how the machine selects Pokémon..." Chi Hong murmured softly.
He was very sure that the conditions for becoming a Pokémon were definitely not, or were not just about intimacy, length of contact, and the like.
Because in the past two and a half years, the person he had the most contact with was not Luffy, but Maginot in the tavern.
When she first crossed over, Chihong relied on her identity as an orphan and Maginot's kindness to successfully move into Maginot's house and work as a child laborer in the tavern.
Of course, although he was said to be a child laborer, Maginot was actually very kind to him. Considering his age, he only arranged some simple and easy tasks for him.
Otherwise, Chihong wouldn't have so much free time to exercise.
Speaking of which, if the machine hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have planned to lurk in Windmill Village, pry the lucky bastard away, and sell this handsome young body to Maginot when he became an adult.
This may be called unpredictable weather~
As for Luffy, he spends more time practicing in the mountains and forests.
That is to say, the next trip to the mountain every three days is to communicate with Chi Hong and see Chi Hong pretending to be a time traveler.
"So excluding intimate relationships, the biggest difference between Luffy and me and other people..."
"It seems that I have been guiding Luffy in training?"
Although Red's combat power is far from Luffy's, he has indeed won Luffy's recognition and respect in this regard.
After all, the results are there.
In an instant, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Red's eyes, which was extremely obvious in the dark night.
"Could it be that the condition for becoming my Pokémon is that others need to recognize my identity as a [Trainer]!?"
"Fuck, that makes sense!"
Red suddenly couldn't help but hammer the railing of the boat, with a surprised smile on his lips.
The problem that troubled him for several days seemed to have found a solution at this moment.
And the way to prove whether this guess is correct is also very simple.
Red secretly said: "Is it what I think... Let's use the third member of the Straw Hat Pirates to verify it!"
As for who the third crew member is, he already has the answer in his heart.
After all, their ship has been moving in a precise direction since leaving Windmill Town.
That is...
The location of the 153rd Marine Branch, which has been making a lot of noise in the East China Sea recently and where the pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro is imprisoned - Shields Town!
That's right!
After Akari confirmed that he would become Luffy's partner, he had already planned the route!
If you want to have a grand adventure in the pirate world, how can you miss the charming man Zoro by your side!
But...
"Sorry, Zoro."
"I have taken your position as vice-captain!"
"But I will make it up to you in other ways!"
Akaari chuckled and murmured, while looking at the distant sea with expectation.
However, this state only lasted for a few seconds.
Because Akari suddenly remembered...
"Wait! I don't seem to know kendo at all?!"
If you want Zoro to recognize him as a vice-captain and trainer, you must provide help in his training like Luffy.
But...
He didn't know how to practice Armament Haki at all. Even Luffy spent a long time to learn Observation Haki by himself.
Zoro's Observation Haki talent was obviously not as good as Luffy's who could listen to the sounds of all things, so it would be even more difficult.
Conqueror Haki! ?
That was an ability that even Luffy hadn't touched yet.
As for Kendo, Akari knew nothing.
"It's bad! I won't become a clown, will I?!"
Thinking that he was still talking nonsense in the last second, and found out that he was the idiot in the next second, Akari's old face couldn't help but blush.
"Forget it, I'd better make myself stronger!"
Akaari quickly recognized the reality of his own weakness.
Fortunately, he has found his own way!
With a thought, Akari lit up the machine in his mind.
Because he didn't do anything, the prompt messages were still hanging above the screen...
