One Piece: A Trainer among the Straw Hat Pirates

Transmigrating to the world of One Piece, I got a peculiar golden finger that could enter the Pokémon game world. I thought I could summon pokemons like Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Charmander to beat the people in this world that was filled with pirates and other dangerously strong factions. But he and Luffy who had entered the Pokemon game world, were shocked by what was happening "Luffy!? Why are you on my Pokémon list!?" --(Various futures)-- In the Summit War "Turn our bond into strength and go forward bravely Luffy, Rage!!! MEGA evolution!" Nika Luffy was seen! - "With all your heart and soul, concentrate! Cut down all the obstacles in your path Zoro! Use our Z move!" Three sword style secret move · Z · Ultimate Destruction Flying Dragon Slash! - "Franky Gigantamax! General Franky has Arrived!" With the signal of flying smoke, the mecha era has arrived! - Nami wields her weather stick to summon 100,000 volts of worth of lightning - Usopp shoots the whole place using the seed machine gun - Sanji dances in a crowd of enemies standing as valiantly as a knight, with his body burning in majestic flames ... When the Straw Hat Pirates who had gained the powers of various Pokémon came to the Summit War, all the people of power realized that they had always underestimated the power of 'THAT MAN!' ...

Chapter 8: The Opportunity to Become a Pokémon

Hey guys InkDemon here, just wanted to inform you that someone has pleaded in a chapter comment for more chapters, and I decided to humor said person and release 8 chapters at once, bringing the fic to 15 chapters. thus I'll return back to releasing chapters on Friday as I'm still getting chapters ready for my to-be benefactors on Patreon.

Thank "Sleeping-dragon26" he's the one that has compelled me to release chapters ahead of time. XD

I also did this as a way to raise the popularity of this fic, as I once said I want to be one of the greats on this platform in terms of being a Translator/Editor of novels and fanfiction. Big shout out to "Zealum", what he is doing has inspired me and my translation a lot.

PS: I'm a chatterbox who loves to communicate with his readers, hope you all don't mind that.

Under the serene night sky, the moonlight illuminated the vast sea, its soft glow reflecting the stars on the tranquil, deep surface. The dark waves rhythmically struck the hull, as if playing a mysterious melody.

Then, the peaceful silence was broken by a lazy yawn.

"Ah~ I'm so sleepy!" Luffy rubbed his face, opening his eyes groggily. He looked across the boat to see Akane slowly waking up as well, the late-night activity weighing heavily on his mind.

"Alas, another flaw of the machine has revealed itself..." Akane thought to himself. "When I enter the game world, my body may be in a dormant state, but my mind doesn't rest. I need to start planning my time more strictly to avoid situations that could affect my activities the next day."

After briefly explaining the concept of Pokémon power to Luffy, Akane noticed that the machine was running low on power. He quickly recorded the events inside the Pewter Gym and brought them both back to the real world.

Checking the compass to ensure the boat was still on course, Akane said to Luffy, "Alright, Luffy. Today's adventure is over. It's getting late; you should get some rest. I'll take over until daybreak. If everything goes well, we should reach the next island by noon tomorrow."

"Ha~! Okay, I'll leave it to you, Akane." Though he hadn't engaged in any high-intensity battles, Luffy was tired from being active all night. He yawned, said goodnight to Akane, and then fell into a deep sleep.

"This guy is really carefree," Akane muttered with a smile, shaking his head. But soon, he steeled himself, looking up at the bright moon, lost in thought. "Well, since there's nothing else to do, let's review today's gains."

Akane pulled a small notebook from his pack and began jotting down notes. It was a habit of his—to record his thoughts and plans with pen and paper. Even after traveling through time, this habit persisted. To ensure he didn't forget the plot of One Piece, he had filled an entire notebook with detailed notes, written in Chinese characters to avoid anyone accidentally reading it and causing unnecessary trouble.

"First of all, regarding experience, Luffy's experience points increased by 2,500 in one night. He needs about 3,600 more to reach level 47. Although the Pewter Gym provided a significant boost... considering that the Pokémon we'll encounter from now on will be at higher levels, Luffy's growth will undoubtedly accelerate."

"Secondly, there's the matter of Pokémon moves." Akane continued, "From Luffy's feedback, when using the Headbutt skill, his head becomes harder and more aggressive, reducing collision damage. Clearly, Pokémon moves aren't just about mastering fighting stances; they amplify his attacks and offer other special effects. Pokémon moves will definitely be valuable in combat!"

Akane scribbled in the notebook, satisfied with the power that the Headbutt technique had demonstrated. The process of Luffy learning moves was simple—just a tap on the game world interface, and Luffy instantly mastered the technique. This was great news for anyone with learning difficulties!

More importantly, the move learning device was a permanent item and didn't disappear after use. In other words, if Akane could bring others into the game world, he could instantly equip them with suitable moves, drastically increasing their combat effectiveness.

But...

"I just don't know how the machine chooses Pokémon..." Akane murmured softly. He was sure that the criteria for becoming a Pokémon weren't just about intimacy or time spent together. After all, he had spent more time with Makino in the tavern than with Luffy over the past two and a half years.

When Akane first arrived, he successfully moved into the Makino family home, using his status as an orphan and Makino's kindness. He worked as a child laborer in the tavern, though Makino treated him very well, assigning only simple tasks due to his age. This allowed Akane ample free time to train.

To be honest, if the machine hadn't appeared, Akane had planned to remain in Windmill Village, win over that lucky bastard, and ultimately dedicate his handsome young self to Makino when he grew up. But fate had other plans.

As for Luffy, he spent most of his time training in the deep mountains and forests, only coming down occasionally to communicate with Akane and flaunt his identity as a time traveler.

"So, excluding our close relationship, the biggest difference between Luffy and others is..." Akane pondered. "It seems I've been guiding Luffy in his training all along?"

Although Akane's fighting skills lagged behind Luffy's, he had indeed earned Luffy's respect and recognition in this regard. The results spoke for themselves.

In an instant, a light suddenly flashed in Akane's eyes, unusually bright in the dark night.

"Could it be that the condition for becoming my Pokémon is that they must recognize me as a [Trainer]!?" Akane couldn't help but smack the boat's railing, a surprised smile forming on his lips. The problem that had been bothering him for days seemed to have found a solution at last. And the method to prove whether his guess was correct was simple.

Akane thought to himself, "If my theory is right... I'll test it with the third member of the Straw Hat Pirates!"

He already knew who the third crew member would be. After all, since leaving Windmill Town, their ship had been heading toward a specific destination—the 153rd Marine Branch, where the pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro was imprisoned: Shells Town!

Yes, after Akane decided to join Luffy's crew, he had carefully planned their route. After all, what's a great adventure in the pirate world without Zoro, the ultimate badass?

Only...

"I'm sorry, Zoro. I've taken your position as vice-captain! But I'll make it up to you in other ways!"

Akane chuckled, gazing out at the distant sea with anticipation. However, his excitement was short-lived as a sudden realization hit him.

"Wait! I don't know anything about swordsmanship!"

To earn Zoro's recognition as both vice-captain and trainer, Akane would need to help him with his training, just as he did with Luffy. But...

He had no idea how to train in Armament Haki, and as for Observation Haki, even Luffy took a long time to learn it on his own. Zoro's talent for Observation Haki wasn't as strong as Luffy's, who could hear the voices of all things, making it even more challenging.

Conqueror's Haki!? That was an ability even Luffy hadn't mastered yet. And when it came to swordsmanship, Akane was utterly clueless.

"Oh no! Am I going to end up looking like a fool?!"

Realizing that he had been planning so confidently just moments ago, only to be reminded of his own shortcomings, Akane's face turned red with embarrassment.

"Forget it, I'd better focus on making myself stronger!" Akane quickly accepted the reality of his own weaknesses. Fortunately, he had found his own path!

With a thought, the machine in his mind lit up red. Since he hadn't done anything yet, the prompt messages were still displayed on the screen...
