Chapter 8 The opportunity to become a Pokémon (please read it)
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 power was 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, Chihong couldn't help but smile and shook her head.
But soon, he cheered up, looked at the bright moon in the horizon, and began to think alone.
"Then, being idle is also 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 even wrote a notebook full of notes to record 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 2500 points in one night. He is still about 47 points away from reaching level ."
"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 definitely have a lot to offer!"
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 Chi Hong 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 not just, things like intimacy and length of contact.
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 the 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 his training, right?"
Even though Chihong's combat power is far from Luffy's, he has indeed gained Luffy's recognition and respect in this regard.
After all, the results are there.
In an instant, a spiritual light suddenly flashed in his red eyes, which was extremely obvious in the dark night.
"Is it possible that the condition for becoming my Pokémon is that others need to recognize me as a [trainer]!?"
"Fuck, that makes sense!"
Chihong suddenly couldn't help but hammered the railing of the boat, with a surprise smile on her lips.
The problem that had been bothering 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.
Chi Hong secretly said: "Whether it is what I think... let's use the third member of the Straw Hats to verify it!"
As for who the third crew member is, he already has the answer in his mind.
After all, their ship has been moving in a precise direction since it left Windmill Town.
That is……
There has been a lot of rumors in the East China Sea recently that the location of the 153rd Marine Branch where Roronoa Zoro, known as the pirate hunter, is imprisoned - Shields Town!
That's right!
After Chihong confirmed that he wanted to become Luffy's partner, he had already planned the route!
If you want to have a vigorous adventure in the world of pirates, how can you not have this charming man by your side?
only……
"Sorry, Soda."
"Your position as deputy captain has been taken away by me!"
"However, I will make up for it in other ways!"
Chihong chuckled and murmured, while looking at the sea in the distance expectantly.
However, this state only lasted for a few seconds.
Because Chihong suddenly remembered...
"Wait! I don't seem to know how to do kendo at all?!"
If he wants Zoro to recognize him as his vice-captain and trainer, he must be like Luffy and help him in his training.
but……
He didn't know how to practice Armed Color Haki at all. In terms of Knowledge Color Haki, even Luffy spent a long time to teach himself.
Zoro's talent for seeing, hearing, and color is obviously not as good as Luffy's, who can listen to the sounds of all things, so it will only be more difficult.
Overlord color and domineering! ?
That's an ability that even Luffy hasn't even touched the edge yet.
When it comes to swordsmanship, Chi Hong knows nothing about it.
"It's broken! I won't become a clown, will I?"
Thinking that one second he was making a scene, and the next second he realized that he was the bastard, his old red face couldn't help but blush.
"Forget it, I'd better quickly make myself stronger!"
Chihong quickly recognized the reality of her own weakness.
Fortunately, he has found his own path!
With a thought, the machine in his mind lit up crimson.
Because he did not perform any operations, those prompt messages were still hanging at the top of the screen...
