Running bitcoin node with already verified blockchain

I’m following this guide https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt/ to setup a Bitcoin full node on my new raspberry pi.

I already downloaded and verified the blockchain on my host machine. I also pruned it (6GB) so it can fit on my microSD card. I moved the blocks and chainstate folders to ~/.bitcoin on my raspberry. But when I run the bitcoind service with the same bitcoin.conf file proposed on the guide, the verificationprogress shows that it starts from 0.

I’ve tried with these options too:

prune=6000
reindex=1
reindex-chainstate=1

But none of them make the progress to be completed. I also tried waiting some minutes in order to see if the progress completes faster but that’s not the case. What options do I need?
