Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

"The energy of the Pokémon struck by the slash seems to be stronger than before!"

Seeing Zoro using Pokémon energy to perform sword skills that he could not complete at this stage, the smile on his red face couldn't help but become even bigger!

From the point of view of swordsmanship, Zoro has not yet reached the level of cutting iron, not to mention that only swordsmen can use the "Flying Slash".

However, with the power of Pokémon, Zoro actually surpassed the iron-cutting realm of kendo and used such powerful sword moves.

Although this has nothing to do with the particularity of Pokémon's energy, what is more important is Zoro's own will and talent!

In any case, in the eyes of other swordsmen, Sauron is already an out-and-out great swordsman!

Luffy's armament and dominance, Zoro's swordsmanship...

These two guys can really create surprises for people.

Chihong smiled with satisfaction, and then he jumped from the second floor to the courtyard with a light jump.

Because the sword skill Sauron had just performed was too violent, the ground in Keya's courtyard seemed to be blown by a storm, and the land was roiling.

But even so, Crowe, who had been baptized by the tornado sword skill, was still lingering on.

"I...my plan...is...absolutely...will not fail..."

He stared at Chi Hong with his bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to remember him in his mind forever.

"What a tenacious vitality~"

Seeing Crowe's angry eyes filled with murderous intent even though his limbs and limbs were cut off, Chihong couldn't help but sigh.

Although this guy is not a good person, he can be considered a talent in Donghai.

"Pity."

Chihong bent down and picked up a broken cat's claw blade on the ground, and then swung it hard!

Phew! ! !

The sharp blade instantly penetrated Crowe's forehead, penetrated his brain, and penetrated into the earth.

And this great pirate from the East China Sea, who had endured it for three years just to successfully retire, finally rested in peace at this moment.

Everything is settled.

……

……

evening.

Under the comfort and command of housekeeper Mei Li, the staff in the villa also returned to various posts one after another.

Although the villa has experienced major changes, these people have not encountered any danger, and these things may not be anything new in the world of pirates...

So everything in the villa is still going on as usual.

At this time, in the reception room of the villa.

Accompanied by Meili, the owner of the villa, Miss Keya, stood up and bowed heavily to the Straw Hats opposite.

"Thank you very much for your help!"

"If it weren't for you, I really don't know what the consequences would have been."

"I already know about their demands."

"I just asked Mr. Meili that there is indeed a newly built light sailing ship in the shipyard owned by our family."

"And the designer of this sailboat happens to be Butler Meili herself."

"It's just that the ship may need a few more days of debugging before it can be launched into the sea. Can you please wait patiently for a few more days?"

Keya asked the Straw Hats gently.

After learning from Usopp that the Straw Hats came specifically to help them deal with the pirates, Keya was grateful to them from the bottom of her heart.

So after learning that Chihong wanted to ask them to provide a ship, the wealthy lady agreed without any hesitation.

But what makes Keya curious is...

Chihong seemed to have a deeper understanding of the ship than Meili, the ship's designer.

But these little things were quickly forgotten by Keya.

After today's incident, she can be regarded as surviving, and she still doesn't know what her plans will be in the future.

That should be what she focuses on thinking about.

And on the other side of the conference table.

After Luffy heard Keya's question, he immediately laughed:

"No problem! Of course no problem!"

"Isn't it just a few days?"

He was about to have his own pirate ship, and Luffy couldn't help but feel excited.

More importantly, Chi Hong has praised them more than once that the ship they are about to own will be the best pirate ship in the world!

Hearing Luffy agree so readily, Merry, who was standing behind Keya, also let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed.

He quickly stood up and said to everyone in a gentlemanly manner:

"Thank you very much for your understanding."

"Then please stay in the manor temporarily during these few days of waiting."

"I will arrange everything for you."

"The other thing is..."

Meili paused for a moment, then continued:

"I just asked the Navy, and they don't seem to be planning to exchange the bounty for the pirates whose bounty has been cancelled."

"So Crowe's body has no value anymore."

"Ah? Why is this happening?!"

Nami, who had been waiting to hear this, was instantly disappointed.

1600W Pele, that's not a small sum of money.

She thought she could make a fortune!

At this moment, Merry, who expected that the Straw Hats would be disappointed, quickly added:

"But it doesn't matter, this beautiful lady."

"In order to repay your kindness, the Keya family is willing to give out 2000W Bailey as a reward for solving the pirate crisis."

"Ah!? Really!?"

When she heard that there was still money to be taken, Nami's eyes immediately shone with golden light.

Unfortunately……

Nami is destined to not be able to get this money.

"Wait a minute, Butler Meili."

Chihong suddenly interrupted, then smiled slightly and said:

"Miss Keya, we accept your gratitude."

"As for the reward, I think it's better to forget it."

"That boat has been the greatest gift to us."

"What's more, we didn't come here for the so-called reward."

"Don't you think so, Usopp?"

Chihong suddenly turned her gaze and looked at Usopp, who was clearly sitting next to them, but felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, with a light on his back and a lump in his throat.

"what?!"

Unexpectedly, Chi Hong would suddenly bring the topic to him, and Usopp immediately tensed up nervously.

To be honest, he just wanted to save Keya before, and he dared to agree to anything as soon as his mind got hot.

But after seeing the battle between Sauron and Crowe, he returned to the fundamental question again...

What advantages do you have that make this group of people take notice of you? ?

Usopp has been thinking about this issue since Crow was defeated.

But until now, I still haven't figured it out.

On the other hand, Luffy on the side responded loudly to Chihong's words:

"That's it! There is no need for reward for helping your friends!"

"partner?"

Keya and Meili immediately turned their curious eyes to Usopp.

They don't know yet that Usopp has joined the Straw Hats.

"Ah ha ha……"

Feeling the confusion between the two of them, Usopp shyly touched the back of his head and said:

"It's about this afternoon. I have accepted their invitation to become a member of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"What!?"

Keya's delicate little face suddenly showed a look of surprise:

"Mr. Usopp, are you saying...that you are going to go to sea and become a pirate?"

"Yes." Usopp rubbed his nose with his fingers, "I will go to sea with Luffy and the others soon."

"Keya, you will definitely hear many of my heroic deeds on the sea in the future!"

"........."

Keya suddenly lowered his head and became silent.

Just when Usopp thought something was wrong, she raised her head again and nodded vigorously:

"Well! I believe you will do it, Usopp!"

When she said this, a glint of crystal tears flashed faintly in Keya's eyes, but she quickly covered them up.

Usopp is an extremely important presence in her life!

Whether it is sneaking into the manor to tell myself various magical adventure stories on weekdays, or today, when I am the most helpless and vulnerable, suddenly appearing next to me...

Usopp's figure has been deeply engraved in Keya's heart.

Keya actually doesn't want Usopp to leave Silob Village or herself at all.

Just thinking of going to sea was Usopp's long-held dream, but she suppressed the thoughts in her heart.

She didn't want to be a hindrance to Usopp's dreams.

In fact, even in the original timeline...

If Usopp had not chosen to go to sea, he might have become the richest man in Silob Village early on, and he could still live a life without shame with Miss Keya every day.

can only say……

Usopp, you deserve to die! ! !

……

……

Silent all night.

After having dinner at Keya's house, the Straw Hats returned to the room that Meili had arranged for them.

Not long after, as a white light flashed before Red's eyes, he had arrived at the Pokémon Center in Cerulean City, the Pokémon world.

Next to him is a cute orange-haired girl...
