Old Master, have you ever been beaten by a Pokémon?

Furious, Luffy demands that Higuma apologize to Shanks, but Higuma goes even further and tries to harm Luffy. At the critical moment, Shanks appears in time and saves Luffy. Seeing that the situation is not good, Higuma attempts to kidnap Luffy and flee the scene, but abandons Luffy who has lost his usefulness at sea. However, he cannot escape the punishment of fate and is swallowed by the King of the Sea who suddenly appears.

Luffy couldn't swim because of the devil fruit he ate. When he was floating helplessly on the sea, the sea king just now swam towards him. At this critical moment, Shanks stepped forward again and rescued Luffy from danger.

When Liu Tianci learned that Luffy had gotten into trouble again and rushed to the scene, he was surprised to find a huge eel staring at them with its cold eyes. Although this creature, known as the "Sea King", seemed quite weak in Liu Tianci's eyes, and could not even be compared with those snake monsters that had not yet evolved into Pokémon, it was shocking that it had successfully bitten off the arm of one of the Four Emperors. Faced with such a record, Liu Tianci had no choice but to capture it as part of his collection.

The King of the Sea fled in panic under the might of the Red Hair, but Liu Tianci, the observer behind the scenes, did not intend to let it go easily. He casually called out his companions: "Show up, Basilisk (Toxic Algae Dragon), Grindylo (Chubby), Pentapod (Super Bad Star)."

These three sudden giant beasts, like giant beasts leaping out of the deep sea, instantly shocked Luffy and the others. However, their target was not Luffy and the others, but the king of the coastal waters that dived into the water.

The basilisk, which was originally more than ten meters long, absorbed the natural energy of the Ryuchi Cave after transforming into a Pokémon, and now has become a huge figure like a giant sea snake. Although Jigglypuff and Super Skull are not as big as the basilisk, they are also like huge monsters in the eyes of ordinary people.

The three Pokémon worked together in perfect harmony, forcing the Sea King that had dived into the sea to the surface, and then firmly controlled it, creating an excellent opportunity for Liu Tianci to capture it.

Among them, the Poison Dragon assimilated by the Basilisk has the characteristic of "Poison Hand". Pokémon with this characteristic can poison the opponent just by contact. The King of the Sea was unfortunately bitten, which instantly triggered this characteristic and put him in a poisoned state. In order to escape this fatal crisis, he finally succumbed to the mysterious power of the Poké Ball.

The system prompt sounded: "[You have successfully captured the Sea King (correct name is Sea Lord), do you want to assimilate it into a Pokémon?]" Liu Tianci chose "Yes" without hesitation. Among the many Pokémon options, he carefully selected the hunting fish, which was highly compatible with the eel, as the transformation target. Then, he put the new Pokémon into the underground lake of the Dragon Cave, where it could absorb the energy of nature and thrive.

Today, the underground lake has become Liu Tianci's "Pokémon Nursery", where all kinds of Pokémon grow happily and enjoy the gifts of nature. Liu Tianci often comes here to observe their growth and spend a good time with them.

Inspired by Shanks, Luffy decided to set sail with the dream of becoming the Pirate King. He sincerely invited Liu Tianci to join him on this adventure. Liu Tianci heard that there were sea kings that were larger than islands, and his heart was filled with endless curiosity and expectations. Therefore, he accepted Luffy's invitation without hesitation and decided to venture into the sea with this young man with a dream.

Before leaving, Luffy expressed his deep gratitude to Dadan. He said sincerely: "Dadan, I like you very much." Liu Tianci also expressed his gratitude for the care he received during this period. He said: "Thank you for your care during this period. I will remember this warmth."

After hearing this, Dadan was moved to tears again. She smiled helplessly and said, "You three always say these touching words out of the blue, which really makes me cry and laugh." Her tears contained both reluctance to part and blessings for Luffy and Liu Tianci's future adventures.

On the sparkling sea, Luffy rowed the small boat that he had obtained with great difficulty, while Liu Tianci sat leisurely at the bow of the boat, holding a fishing rod in his hand, concentrating on practicing fishing techniques.

Liu Tianci stared at the buoy intently, and time passed by, but no fish was caught. Finally, Luffy couldn't help but ask: "Magic Star, why am I always the one rowing the boat?"

Liu Tianci replied without turning his head: "Because you are the captain, this ship is your responsibility. Besides, I don't believe I will return empty-handed today." His words revealed firmness and confidence, as if he had foreseen that he was about to catch a big fish.

After hearing this, Luffy covered his forehead with one hand and laughed: "You are right, I am the captain, and rowing is my responsibility. But don't you need to practice your fishing skills? I am so hungry that my stomach is growling."

Liu Tianci thought about releasing the Pokémon secretly to let them catch a big fish, but then he rejected the idea. He knew that the fun of fishing lies in the process of waiting and harvesting, and using Pokémon to cheat violated the original intention of fishing. So he took a deep breath and continued to wait for the fish to bite.

The hunting fish has a unique body shape, like a snake-like ghost swimming in the deep sea. Its back is inlaid with orange semicircular fins, shining like the afterglow of the setting sun in the evening glow. The chin also quietly blooms with equally gorgeous fins, as if it is a mysterious mark given to it by nature. On the top of its head, there is a huge fan-shaped fin, like a gorgeous fan, swaying gently.

What is even more peculiar is that the body of the grouper fish is covered with orange ring-shaped white spots, which are as dazzling as the stars in the night sky. Even the area around its deep eyes is dotted with these mysterious white spots, which adds a bit of mystery and charm. And its big mouth is like a huge mouth in the abyss, with sharp teeth flashing coldly, which makes people shudder.

What is more worth mentioning is that the tail of the hunting fish is uniquely shaped, like the head of a small fish, smart and playful. But under this playful appearance, it hides its hunting skills. On its tail, those eyes shaped like small fish will emit a faint light, luring the prey to come closer step by step. When the prey approaches, the hunting fish will quickly open its big mouth and swallow the prey in one bite, without mercy.

The grouper fish lives in the deep sea where even light cannot penetrate. The water pressure there is strong and terrifying. However, the grouper fish has a very strong and hard spine, which can easily cope with this extreme environment. Although its swimming ability is not strong, it can twist its body like a snake and flexibly shuttle in the deep sea.

Legend has it that if a grouper is washed up on the beach, it means something bad is about to happen. Perhaps some mysterious force in the deep sea is warning us not to venture into the unknown.
