Selling Pokémon from Pirates

Chapter 176 Promotion before competition

"Good evening, Nami."

Seeing the beautiful girl walking gracefully, Usopp, who had an oily face, immediately smiled and said hello.

Although we don't usually interact much with each other, the New Four Heavenly Kings, who are both in the battle area, see each other without looking up, so they are quite familiar with each other.

Even Zoro on the side stopped eating slightly when he saw Nami and nodded to her.

"Good evening, Usopp, Zoro."

Nami sat down very naturally.

Sanji on the side immediately turned into a black whirlwind, waiting at Nami's side like a waiter in a restaurant.

Zoro and Usopp seem to be used to Sanji's flattery.

After all, the Barati Battle Restaurant's business in the battle area is extremely good, and Sanji, the chef's arrogant appearance, is not a secret.

On the dining table, as Sanji said, Nami's favorite food has been prepared.

Next door, Usopp's sniper tree owl, Sanji's strong chicken, Zoro's double scabbard and flying mantis are also enjoying a nutritious meal.

This is a Pokémon food second only to energy cubes, and you usually have to spend points to buy it in the battle area.

The price is not very expensive, but it is definitely not affordable by ordinary families.

However, during the special training period, as long as you pay 20 points per day, these things can be supplied for free, with no limit on quantity.

In line with the law of long live free prostitution, Nami immediately released Bad Butterfly and Pikachu.

"Teacher Badahu, Pikachu, it's dinner time!"

Nami smiled, pointed at the food that Sanji had prepared next door and said with a smile.

"Mi!" "Pica~"

As soon as Badass and Pikachu appeared, they immediately smelled the delicious food. The two Pokémon, who had been hungry for a day, immediately ran to the next door and started eating.

And seeing the two Pokémon eating happily, the smile on Nami's face became even brighter.

But immediately, she turned her head again, picked up the goblet with exquisite desserts on the table, and tasted it carefully.

When she was halfway through the dessert, Nami suddenly raised her head slowly, looked at the three men around her, and asked with a smile:

"so……"

"How much do you know about this special training?"

"…………"

Zoro and Usopp stopped eating at the same time and looked at Nami.

But in the next moment, the eyes of the three people, including Sanji, all turned to Zoro again.

Usopp licked his oily fingers and said curiously:

"Rather than this, I would rather know what rewards you get for being the first in the gravity field trial?"

"The things that Mr. Lin Luo gave personally should be very simple, right?"

"this……"

Sauron shook his head and said:

"I just asked Lord Enilu, but Lord Enelu said that even he didn't know what the prize prepared by Lord Linluo was..."

"That's it."

Nami nodded and murmured, then used the fork at hand to fork a piece of steak again, raised it to her mouth as if thinking:

"According to my guess, everyone should be able to pass the gravity field test tonight. In other words, the formal special training should start tomorrow."

Usopp said: "After all, time is tight, and there is still one month until the Pokémon League Tournament starts."

"I think Master Lin Luo specially brought us here for training in order to enable us to perform well in the conference."

"Um……"

Zoro, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

I saw him looking down at the reflection on the smooth surface of the table knife in his right hand.

"After all, we are... still too weak."

"Maybe Lord Lin Luo feels that our strength is not enough to participate in this world-famous event."

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the four people present suddenly became stiff.

Even Sanji, who admired Nami's beauty, became silent at this moment.

If someone had said they were weak before, they would never admit it.

But after seeing Garp's iron fist that destroyed the world and destroying the earth, and seeing Suicune's power that could cause tsunamis to rise to the sky at every turn...

They had to admit that their current strength was really weak.

For Nami, who has seen Lugia's strength, she can better understand the helpless meaning in Zoro's words.

Admittedly...

It is estimated that other than Garp, there will not be such high-end combat power in the Pokémon League Tournament.

But now that they have reached this point, their goal is to be more than just a short-lived ordinary trainer.

With the existence of dimensional merchants, their channels for becoming stronger are no longer limited by time.

If possible, who doesn’t have a first dream in their heart?

Except of course Usopp.

Seeing the three people suddenly falling into silence, Usopp, who guessed their inner thoughts, couldn't help but tighten his collar.

Compared to the pride of Zoro and Sanji, compared to the lofty goals Nami carries in her heart...

Usopp is just a common man who wants to see the interesting world and be in the limelight.

He doesn't particularly care about what kind of results he can achieve.

With his current ability, he can resurrect his mother who died of illness at any time.

It's just because there have been too many things recently and I don't have time to take care of so many things, so the resurrection has been postponed.

However……

What does it mean to be in trouble forever if you can't get it?

If he told Lin Luo at this time that Lin Luo was going to give him special training, he would probably be despised to death by the jealous eyes of the other three people, right?

After thinking about it, Usopp choked quietly, but still did not reveal the secret in his heart.

Just thinking about the mysterious smile Lin Luo looked at him when they parted, Usopp couldn't help but feel trembling with fear.

I hope that the next special training will not be as scary as today.

Taking a sip of hot cocoa silently, Usopp continued to remain silent.

…

…

As Lin Luo expected, with the blessing of life breath, everyone finally completed the challenge.

After being received by Anilu, all the trainers were sent to their respective dormitories.

A night of silence.

Silence is tonight's Tenjin Gym.

Lin Luo was lying on the water bed in the lounge, looking at Ibrahimovic who was still wearing the old man's headband, and couldn't help but persuade him:

"Don't play too late, Ibrahimovic. Don't forget that you have important tasks tomorrow."

"咘咘咘咿~(I know, I know.)"

Listening to little Ibrahimovic's impatient voice, Lin Luo couldn't help but shook his head.

Sure enough, you should spank your children as early as possible. Now little Eevee is really becoming more and more disobedient, and is no longer as cute as he was when he was a child.

…

…

In a blink of an eye, time came to the early morning of the next day.

The exhausted trainers, amidst the calls of Rotom on their mobile phones, didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so they hurried to the hall to gather.

"Is everyone here?"

Just when a group of trainers were confused, a voice suddenly came from above their heads.

After glancing at the trainers present, Lin Luo nodded silently.

Snap!

With a clear snap of fingers, all the trainers present suddenly disappeared.

And at the same time.

Around the huge arena at the Tenjin Gym, a bunch of confused trainers appeared.

"alright."

Lin Luo coughed twice, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

I saw him slowly flying to the center of the ring and introducing everyone:

"First of all, congratulations to all of you for completing the gravity field test."

"Although your results are both good and bad, being able to complete the entire course of the gravity field shows that you are well prepared for the following special training."

"I'm very happy about this."

Lin Luo smiled lonely and glanced at everyone present.

And to be recognized by the dimensional merchant, the group of trainers in the audience are also very proud.

Everyone held their heads high and held their chests high, completely without considering the true meaning of Lin Luo's words.

The only one who sees through the truth is a sniper with a long nose.

Because he was already prepared in his heart, when he heard Lin Luo's words, Usopp immediately shrank his neck.

After walking through the gravity field, you are ready for the next special training!?

Doesn’t that mean that the following special training will be even more terrifying than the gravity field!?

At this moment, Usopp really wanted to say loudly, "I have a disease that will kill me after special training."

It's a pity that when he looked around, everyone's faces were filled with anticipation and excitement, as if they were about to welcome a wonderful life.

For a moment, Usopp was left alone.

Lin Luo on the stage continued to speak.

"OK! Next, we will conduct the first phase of special training..."

"First of all, I need you each to have a battle. The winner will receive personal guidance from the master of the Tenjin Gym, Eniro..."

"He will tailor the best training plan for you based on the characteristics of each person and Pokémon."

“Whether it’s venue or nutrition, Tenjin Gym will provide unlimited supplies!”

"Of course, because there are too many of you, even the owner of the Aini Road Hall cannot take care of them all."

"So the loser will have no choice but to go into the forest behind the gym, be with the wild Pokémon there, and practice on your own."

"Friendly reminder, the wild Pokémon in the forest are all species with violent personalities. I hope you can successfully spend the first stage of training under their wild nature."

"…………"

After Lin Luo finished speaking, the whole place fell silent for an instant.

What's the meaning!?

They have just passed through the gravity field, and after a sleep, they have to accept a battle?

And the loser group will have to enter the virgin forest to survive in the wilderness and practice on their own?

So what's the point of them coming to Tenjin Gym?

Each of the trainers immediately put away their previous expressions of expectation and became confused.

On the contrary, Usopp...

After listening to the rules explained by Lin Luo, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's sniper tree owl has reached level 41.

Although he is not the most powerful Pokémon among everyone present, with his shooting skills, Usopp is confident that he can defeat everyone as long as he does not encounter Zoro and the other three weirdos.

"Wu~ It's okay, okay. It seems that Master Lin Luo wants to provide specialized training to outstanding trainers."

Usopp wiped the sweat in his heart and sighed:

"Although I don't know what the extra training is, at least I won't be wasting this good time by running into the wilderness to survive..."

Just when Usopp was thinking this...

Lin Luo's voice came from the direction of the ring again:

"Then let's have the first battle."

"The opponents are Zoro and Usopp. Please come to the ring."

Usopp:???

With a question mark on his face, Usopp slowly walked to the ring in the passage specially made by the people around him.

Looking at Zoro who was sharpening his sword and jumping up, Usopp couldn't help but look at Lin Luo.

Suddenly, he discovered that Lin Luo was looking at him closely with meaningful and deep eyes at this time.

At this moment, he understood...

It turns out that the so-called additional training has already started.

But he really doubted that asking him to fight Sauron was really for additional training rather than for targeting?

At this moment, Usopp even began to reflect on whether he had done something bad and offended Mr. Lin Luo.

You know...

Even if they are both the New Four Heavenly Kings, there is still a gap in strength between them.

Just like Garp and Kobra, although they are both called the Four Heavenly Kings, one is in the sky and the other is in the earth.

Ordinary trainers are not afraid of Usopp and the sniper tree owl.

But if the enemy is extremely powerful beings like Zoro and Sanji, then he can already click to surrender directly.

Unfortunately, Lin Luo was obviously not prepared to give him a chance to "surrender".

"Okay, now that both sides are ready, I will hand over this arena to the two of you."

Lin Luo said with a smile. Suddenly, he added as if he suddenly remembered something:

"Oh, right!"

"In yesterday's gravity field test, Mr. Sauron successfully won first place with an excellent result of 2 hours and 14 minutes."

"Then I will give you the reward of the test now."

While speaking, two light groups suddenly flew out from Lin Luo's hands.

One is in the shape of a milky white flame, and the other is transparent and fluctuates like a water ball.

Lin Luo pushed the milky white flame in his hand forward and said with a smile:

"I believe everyone is no longer unfamiliar with the power of nature."

After all, it was a product that had been listed in the mall for a long time, and he didn't introduce it too much.

The power of nature was instantly integrated into Sauron's body.

Zoro blinked in confusion, looked at his limbs, and found that there were no special changes.

At this time, Lin Luo had already raised another transparent light group and said:

"Then, please allow me to introduce our new product - [Power of Bond]."

"The power of bonding!?"

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the light ball in Lin Luo's hand, showing curious expressions.

At this moment, Lin Luo once again transformed into his original businessman image, recommending like a propaganda:

"The power of bonding is a special power that is very rare in the Pokémon world!"

"He can communicate with the minds of trainers and Pokémon, using the bond between the two parties as a link to transmit power to each other."

"The Pokémon that has absorbed the trainer's power will combine this power and evolve again."

"And trainers can also use the power of bonds to generate energy unique to Pokémon in their bodies."

"Paired with the power of nature, trainers can control the energy characteristics of Pokémon. The combination of the power of nature and the power of bonding can allow trainers to gain powerful abilities just like Pokémon!"

Snap!

With a snap of fingers, a huge virtual light screen suddenly appeared above everyone's heads.

And Ace, who evolved from the Charizard bond, also appeared on the screen.

Lin Luo smiled and said: "I believe everyone is familiar with the trainer named Ace on the big screen."

"Next, let's take a look at the power Mr. Ace has after gaining the power of bondage."

The screen time was very short, just a scene of Ace and the Big Mom Pirates' fleet fighting.

The familiar Ace suddenly jumped up from the bow of the Spade Pirates, and a bright flame suddenly burst out from his fist.

In an instant!

The blazing flame expanded infinitely, reaching the size of a battleship in the blink of an eye.

"Emperor Yan, Great Flame Ring!!!"

boom!!!

A huge fireball flew out and aimed at the three battleships in front.

Under the blazing flames, the three new world warships instantly turned into pieces.

When the fire light dissipated, all that was left on the sea was a piece of destruction and the corpses of the enemy.
