Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

"The four directions and the up and down are called the universe, and the past and the present are called the universe."

"All directions, front, back, left, right, up and down, that is, space, are called yu, and from the future to the present, that is, time, is called zhou."

“Time and space are intertwined, and that is the universe.”

"These should be easy to understand for you since you know the existence of different time and space."

"Well, lost in time and space, let me tell you about your next mission!"

Arceus world, Xicui area.

Following the plot, Red, who was driven out of the Zhuqing Village by the Galaxy Team Boss, brought Luffy and Zoro to a small room, met a special NPC named Wusi, and successfully received a new main quest...

The test of the three sacred mushrooms!

"It's finally coming to an end."

After successfully completing the conversation with the NPC, Chihong suddenly sighed in his heart.

It has to be admitted that he did underestimate the complexity of the tasks in the Arceus game world.

Originally, Akari thought that with the current strength of the Straw Hat Pirates, it would only take a few minutes to defeat Arceus.

But when he really started to lead everyone to focus on the main storyline, Chi Hong realized...

The vast map not only brings more Pokémon for the Straw Hat Pirates to upgrade, but also makes some tasks that originally required searching and exploration become extremely complicated and time-consuming.

After realizing this, he suddenly felt that he could not delay any longer.

So in recent times, Red has been leading the Straw Hat Pirates to speed up their efforts, giving up some unnecessary side quests and heading straight for the main quest.

Thanks to their leveling up over this period of time, the illustration experience stored by Chihong has already reached the required standard, which saves a lot of effort.

In this way, after completing tasks and leveling up for nearly half a month, Chihong and his friends finally pushed the game to the second to last major level!

Next, they only need to go to three locations in the Washi region, find three legendary Pokémon of the lake, and pass their tests to go directly to find the final BOSS of the first week of "Arzeus"...

Dialga, the god of time who controls the power of time, and Palkia, the god of space who controls space!

To this end, he specially brought in the two strongest fighters of the Straw Hat Pirates - Luffy and Zoro - at this final sprint moment!

After all, the Pokémon they are going to face next is no longer a straightforward creature like Mewtwo that only has fighting capabilities.

A guy who only knows how to fight, Akane believes that no one can be a match for Gear 5 Luffy.

The fear is that the other party will use underhanded tricks and activate the special abilities of some mythical beasts.

In this case, even Red couldn't guarantee that Luffy in Gear Fifth would be able to help him pass the level smoothly.

However, if Zoro joins, the success rate of passing the level will be at least over 85%!

"I wonder if the divine beasts that cannot be caught in the game world will inherit their divine duties and powers?"

After the battle was resolved, Chihong had more brain capacity to think about other problems.

With a template as powerful as Mewtwo, it may be difficult for him to be interested in other mythical beast templates except Arceus.

Therefore, in the game world of Arceus, even Dialga and Palkia, two beasts whose levels may not be as high as Luffy, are the only ones that Red can look forward to...

That is the divine power they hold!

"The power to control time and space!?"

"Don't let me down, Machine Boss!"

After a little anticipation in his heart, Red immediately took Luffy and Zoro out of the cabin and rushed towards the location of the Three Sacred Mushrooms.

But after leaving the cabin, the expressions of Zoro and Luffy became obviously different.

Seeing that even Luffy looked like he was thinking, Akane immediately became curious.

"You two...what happened?!"

"Chihong, do you think what that woman just said is also applicable in the real world?!"

Perhaps guessing that Red would ask them a question, Zoro raised his head thoughtfully and asked Red back.

"What are you talking about?!" Chi Hong was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly and said:

"You mean... about the concept of time, space and the universe!?"

"That's right!" Zoro nodded in response.

"I always feel like after listening to that woman's words, there has always been something vague but lingering in my mind, but I can never grasp any clues."

"The four directions and the up and down are called the universe, and the past and the present are called the universe... I never thought that in the Pokémon world, there would be such a mysterious and infinite cognition."

"I feel as if my sword is trembling."

At this time, even Luffy raised his head, a strange expression appeared on his face, and he scratched the back of his head and said:

"Although I didn't quite understand what the woman said, I always felt something was strange, a feeling I couldn't put into words."

“But I always feel that if it can be applied to the fifth gear, it will produce unexpected results.”

"The universe, is that a more interesting place than the ocean!?"

"Can it strengthen kendo and fifth gear?" Akahei was stunned. She never expected that a single sentence could bring so much insight to Luffy and Zoro.

But then he thought of...

Compared to the pirate world with weak cultural foundation and rampant barbarism, it is indeed difficult for them to come into contact with such profound words.

Chihong has heard this sentence for no less than eight hundred years, and it is too much of a blow to them.

It’s a pity that this is a world of pirates, not a world of cultivating immortals.

Otherwise, the sudden realization of this sentence alone might allow the two sons of destiny to obtain the blessing of heaven and earth and gain enlightenment on the spot.

but……

"The power of time and space?" Chihong's eyes flashed as he explained to the two:

"The pirate world does have a similar power..."

"Remember Pony from Supernova?!"

"Although her current power is not very impressive, her fruit ability is likely to be related to time and space."

"Anyway... the water here is too deep, you can't grasp it yet."

"Once things are dealt with here, I will see if there is a chance for you to experience the power of time and space head-on!"

As long as RoboBoss is strong enough and can obtain the abilities of Dialga and Palkia, he can let Luffy and Zoro feel the power of time and space firsthand.

By then, one of them will be a genius with a destiny, and the other will be a genius with insight, and maybe they will be able to develop special abilities.

After all, Nika's power can even make things appear out of thin air... It's just time and space~

Without further elaborating on this topic, Red immediately led the two of them towards the Heart Lake where the first Lake Legendary Pokémon, Emrido, was located.

Fortunately……

Because this mission was in a special terrain, when Chihong and the others reached a certain height, they easily found the location of the Heart Lake.

The guardian of the Heart Lake is a level 65 Greenwash Pokémon - the boss, Smelly!

A race value of 600, a very high strength of level 65, plus the unique boss attribute bonus of the game world...

The strength of this slimy dragon is already comparable to that of a gatekeeping admiral!

Fortunately, today's machines allow Red to carry two Pokémon at a time, and in battles in the wild, the battle field will not force only one Pokémon to fight like in the anime.

With the cooperation of Gear Fourth Luffy and Ultra Zoro, the two easily defeated the boss, Nymphomaniac, and successfully completed Emrido's challenge.

Unfortunately……

After handing the props required for the mission to Chihong, Emrido flashed away and disappeared completely, not giving Chihong any chance to attack or challenge him.

After all, they are the second generation of gods created by Arceus. Although the lake legendary Pokémon are not very strong in combat, each of them has special abilities.

If he could defeat them, Chihong would really like to see the names of these three little guys appear in his template list.

It's a good opportunity to see the Pokémon template and see whether it will give the red Pokémon the power of godhood.

The three legendary Pokémon of the lake respectively control the three basic characteristics of cognition, emotion, and will that construct the spiritual world.

Their abilities are still very attractive to Red.

but……

"It seems that I can only consider these things in the second round."

Akahei shook his head and sighed softly in his heart, then immediately took Luffy and the others to the next destination without stopping.

The entire process of the "Arceus" world is divided into two weeks.

The first week is a normal storyline. After completing all the main tasks, you can pacify the space-time rift above the sky in the Xicui area.

The second round after that actually triggers various tasks to collect mythical beasts.

However, compared to the ease of the first round, they may encounter more than one Pokémon that is as powerful as Mewtwo in the second round.

There is still some pressure on the Straw Hat Pirates now.

Therefore, Chihong has no plans to tame these divine beasts in the short term.

He is more concerned about...

After completing the first round of "Arzeus", what kind of rewards will the machine bring him!

“We need to speed up our pace!!!”

The corners of her red mouth curled up slightly, and her mind was filled with fantasies about the future.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

During this period, it was certainly impossible for Chihong and the others to stay in the game world 24 hours a day.

The trivialities of life always require time to take care of.

Despite this, within two days, Chihong and his team successfully crossed the large map, cleared all the tests of the Three Sacred Mushrooms, and obtained the plot-exclusive item "Red Chain".

During this period, Zoro successfully advanced to level 61 with the high experience of the three gatekeepers, once again widening the gap with Sanji.

have to say……

Zoro is worthy of being the most charming man in the pirate world!

A few months ago, he was still far behind Sanji because of the power of the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit.

But ever since he grasped the ability of attribute awakening, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds!

The indestructible steel attribute and the domineering and arrogant dragon attribute, plus the ghostly aura that Zoro had already integrated into his swordsmanship...

Three attributes of different categories and effects were directly given by Zoro to his three long swords.

The Wado Ichimonji sword, which carries the attributes of steel, becomes even sharper, showing the purity of the sword's power;

The dragon entered the blue sound, causing this spiritual blade that had been tempered by thousands of thunders to burst out with an unparalleled domineering aura, showing its sharp edge;

And that weird, bloodthirsty ghost energy was naturally integrated into Zoro's Third Generation Kitetsu.

Although in terms of the quality of the sword, the Sandai Kitetsu is just an ordinary sharp sword.

But as it fought against Sauron, it carried a lot of domineering power and energy...

Now he is the Sandaime Kitetsu, and he has already become a sharp sword that is not inferior to Wado Ichimonji!

Using his own body and experience, Zoro successfully tempered this ordinary sharp sword into a top-notch knife that ranks among the best in the world.

What he is focusing on now is how to integrate the three attributes of energy into one, so that each of his swords can carry the three Pokémon attributes at the same time.

This is undoubtedly an unprecedented large-scale project!

At least in Red's impression, no one in the Pokémon world seems to have done anything similar.

But he believed that with Sauron's terrifying and extraordinary understanding, he would be able to accomplish this great and amazing feat!

……

……

He simply sorted out the data of the Straw Hat Army and gave them new training instructions.

Then he went to the place where the Straw Hat Pirates were and made a round of them one by one, after confirming that everyone was alright...

Just when Chihong was preparing to finish the first week of Arceus in one day in one go, a phone call suddenly interrupted Chihong's spirit.

"Bulu bulu bulu~bru bulu bulu~"

Hearing the sudden ringing of the phone, Chihong immediately showed curiosity.

"Strange, there's no one I'm planning to talk to today?"

A doubtful thought flashed through my mind.

He quickly picked up the microphone on the back of the Den Den Mushi on the table.

Then, Den Den Mushi immediately revealed an exaggeratedly dry expression:

"Lord Red! I'm sorry...!!!"

"Bato and I...were attacked!!!"

"Um!?"

The red brows frowned.

But before he could ask what happened, an argument suddenly broke out on the other end of the phone.

Immediately afterwards, the Den Den Mushi was snatched away from Buggy's hand, and the Den Den Mushi's expression became indifferent.

Soon, an intellectual female voice came from the microphone of the Den Den Mushi:

"You are the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, the trainer Red with a bounty of 35 billion berries, right?!"

"........."

Hearing this strange voice, Chihong was silent for a moment, and at the same time quickly searched for a matching voice in his mind.

But after searching for a long time and still not remembering who the voice belonged to, he could only say calmly into the microphone:

"Yes, I am."

"Who are you!? Why are you attacking my men!?"

"Haha, it turns out that it's true that these two pirate groups are flying your pirate flags... I wanted to try it out anyway, I'm really lucky!"

The woman who took the initiative on the other end of the phone did not answer Chihong's question immediately, but started to tease her first.

But the next second, the other party came straight to the point:

"I'll tell you straight away~"

"I am one of the four dessert generals of the Big Mom Pirates... Charlotte Smoothie!!!"

"Don't worry, I didn't kill your men. I just taught them a lesson and made them quiet down."

"You should be able to hear that I am not here to be your enemy!"

"Go back and tell your captain that there will be a lively tea party on Cake Island in half a month. Mother has specifically requested that you be present..."

"If you still want your subordinates back, then come to Cake Island on time!!!"

"Otherwise... hehe..."

Although she had the voice of a mature and intellectual queen, and she didn't say anything too harsh, Smoothie's voice at this moment sounded so chilling.

After hearing the other party introduce himself, Chihong suddenly realized.

Charlotte Smoothie!

The user of the Crushing Fruit, a powerful emperor-level warrior with a bounty of 9 million Baileys!

At the same time, she is the second strongest person in the BIG MOM Pirates after Katakuri!

If it were her, she could indeed easily defeat the two pirate groups of Barto and Buggy, even though they had been strengthened by the power of the Pokémon world.

and so……

They just turned their attention to the old lady, but she invited them instead?!

Although this kind of invitation made Chihong feel extremely angry, he also showed a cold smile at this moment.

"Big Mom Pirates, huh?"

"You can go back and tell Big Mom that we, the Straw Hat Pirates, have accepted your invitation!"

"We will rush to Cake Island as soon as possible..."

"Before that, you must ensure the safety of my subordinates."

Although such words can easily expose the weaknesses of the Straw Hat Pirates, Buggy and Barto have helped Red and the others deal with many things during this period, and they can be said to be loyal to the Straw Hat Pirates.

Not to mention treating them as partners, they have already had a place in the hearts of everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates.

No matter what, Red doesn't want to see the death of Buggy and Barto...

What’s more, the reason they were attacked this time was because they were flying the flag of the Straw Hat Pirates!!!

In a way...

This is already a declaration of war!!!
