Chapter 31: The Golden-Maned Loser!

After the "friendly sparring" with Garp and the "polite greetings" with Newgate, the Oro Jackson finally enjoyed a few days of genuine peaceful sailing.

The aftershocks of the battle with Whitebeard continued to ripple through the Oro Jackson for several days. The crew members, especially newcomers like Erio, still had their eyes gleaming with shock and awe whenever they talked about that heart-pounding duel.

Kyle, meanwhile, was in his room carefully polishing the black-gold nagi...

Chapter 79: Norman: Kid, Let Me Teach You a Lesson

Unlike the previous Pokémon battles, as soon as this Kangaskhan appeared, not only did the viewers in Cynthia's livestream immediately recognize it, but they could tell what it was right away.

The reason was simple—compared to the earlier Slaking, Kangaskhan was incredibly well-known among Pokémon. Due to its distinctive appearance, its unique trait of caring for its young, plus its robust build, powerful strength, and reliable combat ability, it was an excellent Pokémon that many ...

Chapter 78: Fierce Battle! Norman's Last Two Pokémon?

The worst part was that it was still under the control effect of "Encore," meaning it would continue to use "Bulk Up" next turn.

And the turn after that, Slaking would recover and use "Hyper Beam" to strike first, taking away all of Bewear's remaining HP!

Most critically, Cynthia discovered in the Gym battle that Gym Leaders seemed to have the ability to use healing items once, while she, as a trainer, was somehow banned from using any active items.

This meant her idea of us...

Chapter 77: Slaking the War God

It took Cynthia quite a while to recover from the shock of encountering Leftovers again and refocus her thoughts on this battle.

With Leftovers triggering, Slaking's HP bar, which hadn't dropped much to begin with, was restored once more.

How the heck was she supposed to deal with this?

You have to understand, Leftovers' activation didn't conflict with Slaking's Truant ability at all. Even though Slaking couldn't act next turn, Leftovers would still continuously restore its ...

Chapter 76: Sorry, Bro, I Got a Bit Loud Earlier

However, reality quickly proved one thing to Cynthia—

Small probability events are called small probability events precisely because their likelihood of occurring is indeed extremely low.

Take the Tangled Feet ability's trigger rate—it's only 25%. And this time, the Linoone that had fallen into a confused state wasn't affected by the confusion at all. A golden light flashed over its head, and deep purple radiant energy immediately lit up on both its claws as it leaped up towar...

Chapter 75: Sceptile's Resolve - Lifting a Rock Only to Drop It on Your Own Foot?

To be honest, the scene before her eyes really startled Cynthia.

Although it was just for an instant, watching Linoone's body surge with red light and the notification "Attack rose to 18,000 points," her heart truly couldn't calm down.

The reason was simple - based on her understanding of this move, like many other moves before, it was actually something no one would use in the real world.

Although "Belly Drum" could indeed greatly enhance a Pokémon's Attack ability, corres...

Hearing what Rotom had said, Cynthia gradually came back to her senses.

Obviously, the game developer had intentionally designed it this way. Only by solving the problem on the third floor of the mansion could she find the so-called map there and discover the truth about that key. Everything was interconnected in a chain.

This way, the ...

Chapter 27: Too Hot to Handle, Gaban-san!

Night fell, and the moonlight over the Grand Line was cold as water, yet it couldn't extinguish the burning passion blazing on the Oro Jackson's deck.

A bonfire was lit, its warm glow illuminating every excited face. Having just experienced a heart-pounding battle, the crew showed no signs of fatigue—instead, their spirits were at an all-time high.

Millet was belting out some unknown tune while hugging a barrel of rum, his voice loud enough to startle Sea Kings miles away. Spenc...

Chapter 26: The General's Rule: A Ship Must Be Seaworthy!

"Set sail—!"

With Roger's commanding shout, the massive anchor was hoisted up, and the brand-new sails unfurled with a satisfying "whoosh" in the sea breeze.

The Oro Jackson—this golden vessel born from dreams and masterful craftsmanship—silently glided out of the dock under the watchful eyes of all Water 7.

She moved with such grace, her hull cutting through the water so smoothly you could barely hear the splash of displaced waves. Only the gentle, melodic sound of fl...

Chapter 25: Completion

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Water 7's mornings always awakened to this rhythmic hammering.

Since Tom's shipyard took on that earth-shaking order, it had become the liveliest place in the entire city.

The ding-dong of hammers, the screech of saws, the rough work songs of shipwrights, mixed with the scent of sea breeze and wood shavings, composed a symphony celebrating the birth of a legend.

Months had passed, and the Oro Jackson's keel was long complete. Massive ribs stretch...

Chapter 30: Edward Newgate

Three days later, this earth-shattering duel finally came to an end.

The result was that the other half of the island had been completely sunk by the aftershocks of their battle, becoming a handful of dust on the Grand Line's seabed.

The instigators—Garp and Roger—collapsed on the beach like two exhausted bulls, panting heavily in a draw.

Then, under the helpless yet familiar gazes of their respective crews, both men wolfed down their food and almost simultaneously tilte...

Chapter 29: Old Buddy

Under azure skies, an unnamed deserted island flourished with greenery. Clear streams wound their way out from deep jungle, flowing into pristine white beaches.

The Oro Jackson rested quietly in the bay while crew members worked in small groups, hauling barrel after barrel of fresh water aboard.

"Hey! You guys hurry up! Roger's gonna start complaining about not having any booze soon!" Gaban hefted two massive water barrels, striding with quick steps and a booming voice.

"We ...

Chapter 28: Ten Years

Ten years was but a fleeting moment in the Grand Line's history, yet long enough for a boy to become a man and for legends to ferment.

The Oro Jackson's deck was livelier than it had been ten years ago, and more crowded too.

At this moment, a unique "strength contest" was underway.

"GRAAAH!"

Sunbell, a blue fishman over three meters tall—the largest crew member aboard—was arm wrestling with Seagull Guns Nozdon. Both men's bulging muscles rose like mountain ranges, ...

Chapter 24: The Oro Jackson!

When the Roger Pirates' ship reappeared at Water 7's harbor, the atmosphere aboard was completely different from their arrival.

Gone were the initial amazement and clamor, replaced by a silence mixed with smoldering anger and resolute determination. Sunlight fell on the massive timber pieces at the deck's center, the Treasure Tree Adam radiating a warm, sacred glow.

The crew silently went about their duties, though their eyes would unconsciously drift toward that pile of wood, the...

Chapter 23: Treasure Tree Adam

"Treasure Tree, Adam!"

Roger's eyes sparkled brighter than gold itself, as if he could already see the ship carrying his dreams cutting through wind and waves. Rayleigh and Gaban wore equally yearning expressions.

"Gu ha ha ha! Then what are we waiting for! Let's go buy it! How much?" Roger thumped his chest with magnificent confidence.

Master Tom took a swig of liquor and held up three thick fingers.

Roger's smile instantly froze. He turned to look at his vice-captain...

Chapter 22: Water 7

After the "friendly" encounter with Garp ended, the Roger Pirates returned to their usual boisterous routine.

But as the crew continued to grow, a practical problem gradually surfaced and became increasingly serious.

"Hey! Nozdon! Move your foot—you're stepping on my navigation log!" Blumarine's voice came from a corner of the deck, full of resentment.

"Ah? Sorry!" The big guy with the pointed head scrambled to move his foot, only to bump his back into Millet, who was poli...

Chapter 21: Sleeping with the Enemy

Dawn pierced through the clouds, casting light over the debris-strewn beach.

Pirates and Marines had achieved an unprecedented "peaceful slumber" together on this tiny stretch of sand.

Millet's bushy beard was adorned with half a grilled fish, while his fearsome war hammer served as a pillow for a young Marine—both snoring in remarkably synchronized harmony.

Colonel Mugren's cigar had fallen into the sand, his sidearm neatly placed aside, while he himself leaned against a ...

Chapter 20: Captain, Save Me!

In the blink of an eye, Kyle's expression shifted from shock to grim determination.

He gritted his teeth and reached behind his back with his right hand. A pitch-black, ancient-looking naginata instantly appeared in his grasp!

"Whooooom—!"

He unleashed his Wave-Wave Fruit powers to their absolute limit. Beyond Armament Haki, the blade was also coated with a layer of high-frequency vibrating waves. The air around the blade groaned under the strain.

"Come on then, old ...

Chapter 19: Sorry, Sir, I Didn't Recognize You Just Now!

Calm winds, perfect sunshine.

Roger's pirate crew's new ship sailed steadily forward. Though it wasn't yet the legendary "Oro Jackson" of the future, it was worlds apart from that rickety little boat that could fall apart at any moment.

On deck, the crew members each found their own entertainment, while Kyle enjoyed a rare moment of peace.

He leaned against the rail with a fishing rod in hand - no bait attached, purely for show to get some quiet.

Over these two years, ...

Chapter 18: Two Years

Two years was enough time for a boy to shed his naivety (not really), and enough for a rickety little boat that could fall apart at any moment to evolve into a... well, at least a mid-sized sailing ship that didn't look like it would sink in the next second.

This one was "generously donated" to them by some dim-witted pirate crew. At the moment, the deck was... complete chaos.

"Drink! Drink! Drink!"

A short, stocky man with a Viking-style beard was pouring an entire barrel o...

Chapter 17: Mental Asylum

At dawn, Kyle struggled to sit up on the beach; everything in his vision doubled.

On the beach, two energy-overloaded monsters had already begun their morning training.

"Ora ora ora ora!"

"Muda muda muda muda!"

Roger swung his sword while Gaban wielded his axes, engaged in a meaningless but incredibly intense clash.

The clanging of blade against axe, their vigorous battle cries, and the completely unrestrained shockwaves precisely tormented Kyle's fragile nerves....

Chapter 16: Dreams

As it turns out, pirates are creatures whose recovery ability is directly proportional to their destructive urges, while their reasons for celebrating are inversely proportional to their moral standards.

One second, it was a life-or-death battlefield; the next, it had transformed into a buddy-buddy drinking session.

On the beach, a massive bonfire crackled and popped. Roasting over the flames was some unknown beast that Roger had sliced in half with one stroke. Fat dripped into th...

Chapter 15: The King's Right Hand!

The aftereffects of Haki training were total body torture. Kyle felt like every bone in his body had been systematically disassembled by Roger and Rayleigh, then hastily glued back together - one wrong move and he'd fall apart completely.

When their beat-up little ship finally made landfall on what looked like a godforsaken, deserted island, Kyle practically crawled onto the beach, face-planting into the sand with his left hand stretched out in front.

Chapter 14: Master's Tutoring - Haki Edition

Three days after setting sail, Kyle was still hung up on his wanted poster.

He was carefully polishing that crude naginata with a piece of deerskin, muttering under his breath: "One million five hundred thousand... one million five hundred thousand... I'm worth less than some nearby Sea King. Do those Navy guys think my 'Exploding Phoenix Cry' was rented special effects? No aesthetic sense whatsoever, blind as bats!"

"Still bothered by that?" Rayleigh's voice came from nearby. He ...

Chapter 13: Joy and Sorrow Don't Always Align

Marine G-5 Base, Conference Room.

The atmosphere was as oppressive as the sea before a storm. A projection Den Den Mushi faithfully cast footage onto the wall.

In the image, a young figure emerged from billowing smoke and spray. In midair, the naginata in his hands erupted with blinding light.

"Sound Slash: Exploding Phoenix Cry!!"

Accompanied by a roar that seemed to penetrate the screen, a massive phoenix-shaped shock wave blasted forth, precisely striking a three-ma...

Chapter 12: Bleak Prospects

That entrance, that power, those visual effects... perfect score!

I, Kyle, declare this a flawless show-off moment!

He wondered if there were any World Government news birds nearby. Would his first battle be recorded? Maybe he'd even get his very own wanted poster?

"Iron Kyle, bounty... hmm, gotta be at least a million berries to start!" Kyle stroked his chin, calculating privately. "Better choose a handsome photo, preferably that shot of me walking on waves!"

Just as ...

Chapter 11: First Battle Debut

Pirates!

That one word hit Kyle like a bolt of lightning.

His blood seemed to ignite in that instant, and all his boredom, frustration, and restlessness transformed into a soaring fighting spirit.

Kyle rushed to the ship's rail and squinted in the direction Rayleigh had indicated.

Sure enough, a black dot was rapidly growing larger between the blue sea and sky. Soon, the ship's outline became clear—its hull several times larger than their little wreck. On its sail, a...

Chapter 72: The Library and the Key!

In the violent shaking, Cynthia's character seemed to take quite a while to struggle to maintain her balance.

Meanwhile, Rotom floating in the air was shaken all over the place, directly crashing head-first into a nearby wall and sliding down along it with a swoosh.

At this moment, the trembling had stopped, and this abnormality didn't seem like it would continue, but in front of the screen, Cynthia still frowned slightly and pressed her voice interaction key to ask Rotom:

Chapter 71: Youth Version Silvally!

With all those past experiences under her belt, Cynthia suddenly found herself unable to give a definitive answer to such a simple question...

Come to think of it, items this overpowered probably don't exist in the real world, right? If they actually did, wouldn't you be able to go from rookie trainer straight to Champion level just by eating candy? Then again, this item's performance in the game was pretty mind-blowing... gaining seven or eight levels in one go! According to the toolti...
