Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 523: Elbaf's Home

The strong wind cut through Luo's face like a gale, but it made the smile on his face even more evil.

"It's useless, Lord Shanks." Law, who had the upper hand, became dignified again and chuckled at Shanks who was gritting his teeth:
"Give up resistance! Your Conqueror's Haki is indeed very strong, but how many attacks can it withstand?"

"Add to that the poison in your chest. As long as I continue to delay, I will definitely be the winner of this battle."

"So don't waste time and surrender?"

"surrender?"

Although the sharp blade in his hand was constantly being pressed down by Law, and the poison in his chest made his brain, which was being shocked by the spirit, even more painful, Shanks still raised the corners of his mouth and smiled carefreely:
"If Luffy knew that I surrendered to one of his men, I would never be able to ask him for the straw hat back again!"

"And kid... it's too arrogant to say you're sure to win!"

"I am... Red-Haired Shanks!!!"

boom! ! !
A powerful aura suddenly gushed out from Shanks' body, directly breaking through Law's mental shock, and fell into the long sword in his hand, adding a bit of sword power out of thin air.

The sudden appearance of power caught Law off guard, and he was actually pushed back by Shanks.

"How can this be?!"

Law widened his eyes and looked at Shanks in disbelief at his sudden explosion.

But then the corners of his mouth rose: "As expected of you!"

"You were able to break through on the spot under the pressure I put on you. No wonder Master Chihong said you are such a powerful guy!"

"But in the face of the absolute gap in strength, all your actions are meaningless!!!"

Peng~!

The vast super power gushed out from Luo's body again. The continuous battles had consumed a lot of his physical strength, but this did not mean that his fighting ability would decline!

Moreover, he had already created such an innate advantage. If he still couldn't defeat his opponent, wouldn't all his efforts so far become a joke? ?

At this moment, Luo no longer had any reservations.

The poison had been administered, and facing Shanks, who had no antidote, he no longer needed to hold back.

The surging spiritual energy once again formed a mental shock, counteracting Shanks' domineering aura.

For a moment, relying on the innate advantage of super powers, Law was actually on par with Shanks in momentum and ended up in a draw.

And when Shanks's momentum could no longer play a significant role in the battle, Law, who possessed the "power of Shanks", once again gained the upper hand!

"Drink!!!"

Following an angry roar, Luo's face became ferocious, and the demon sword Guiku in his hand once again burst into brilliant thunder.

And unlike the previous small-scale fights, this time, Law was risking everything, fearing that Shanks would explode and improve again, so he had to defeat him completely with this one blow and not give him any chance to recover.

"F·Room·Poison Shadow Operation!!!"

Suddenly, a thick poisonous liquid emerged from Luo's arm and attached to the red-patterned blade of Guiku.

The next moment, the Ghost Cry in Luo's hand suddenly became smaller.

At the side of Shanks, a demon sword called Devil's Cry, which was covered with thick poison, suddenly appeared and stabbed towards Shanks' body.

"What!?"

Shanks, who had never expected Law to have this trick, was overwhelmed.

With only one arm, he didn't even have the ability to stretch out his hand to block the attack, and was instantly pierced by the blade.

Although the power of Devil May Cry's attack was weakened a little by the defense of Armament Haki, the sharp blade finally pierced into Shanks' body under the effect of the fruit ability, and then suddenly changed, directly piercing through his body horizontally, and the purple sharp tip of the blade pierced out from his waist again.

The strange thing is that even though the sharp blade had pierced through Shanks' body, not a single trace of blood came out.

"Forehead……"

However, at this moment, Shanks looked painful and groaned.

The skin where the ghost's cry pierced through his body was suddenly covered with a deep purple color.

Swish!
The next moment, the clone Ghost Cry disappeared, but Shanks' waist was also infected by the poison, and the scale was huge. It seemed that it would soon connect with the expanding poison in the chest.

"I don't believe that you can come back to life after being in this state!?"

Seeing that his sneak attack was successful, a look of joy suddenly flashed in Luo's eyes.

He suddenly mobilized all his strength, and took advantage of the moment when Shanks was in pain to vent it all on him.

At the same time, the condensed super power suddenly turned into a spear, taking advantage of the moment when Shanks was distracted, pierced through his domineering shield in one fell swoop and went straight into Shanks' spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

whoosh...

Peng! ! !
In an instant, Shanks' figure flew backwards like a meteor, passing through several rocky cliffs, and finally slammed heavily into the base of the World Tree, creating a big hole in the World Tree.

“It should be… over, right!?”

wow——

A shining white light bloomed on Luo's body.

However, the light this time was not the light of evolution of Pokémonization, but the result of Law consuming too much energy while operating multiple lines of work at the same time. He was unable to continue to maintain the Pokémonization and had to degenerate.

After returning to normal, Luo did not immediately drink the medicine to restore his strength.

Unlike Caribou, who used good medicine as a tactical reserve, Luo did not want to use such a BUG-level item on a battlefield like today.

Perhaps deep down in his heart, this was his respect for Shanks, a strong man.

Fortunately, what Luo worried about did not happen.

A figure suddenly rushed out from the giant formation, quickly came to the fallen Shanks, and poured a bottle of antidote into his mouth.

And this figure was none other than Shanks' right-hand man, Ben Beckman, the vice-captain of the Red Hair Pirates.

He was not seriously injured to begin with, and after drinking a bottle of healing medicine, his condition returned to its peak.

The moment he saw Ben Beckman appear, Luo also poured a bottle of medicine into his mouth to restore his empty body.

Because he understands...

The winner of this battle is him!

……

……

"Shanks...is defeated..."

In the New World, a peaceful sea area under the command of Whitebeard.

On the Whitebeard Pirates' flagship, the Moby Dick.

Looking at the figure in the picture that had smashed a huge hole in the World Tree, Whitebeard sighed with a complicated expression.

The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates around him also widened their eyes, looking at Moriah in disbelief as he began to proudly announce that the winner of the ring battle was the Straw Hat Pirates and Elbaf.

Even though the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates had been exposed to the power of Pokémon early on, and after Whitebeard helped them fend off the Five Elders for the first time, Red generously loaded Pokémon templates for many of the Whitebeard Pirates... but they were not the Straw Hat Pirates' own people after all, and whether it was information intelligence, training resources, or the training and transformation of Pokémon moves, they were far inferior to the Straw Hat Pirates' own people.

So when they saw that Law actually defeated Shanks with the power of Pokémon, they were all shocked. They never expected that the mysterious power hidden in their bodies could burst out with such powerful power.

"Dad, I'm afraid the world is going to change~"

At this moment, Marco, who was closest to Whitebeard, suddenly chuckled and looked at Whitebeard.

Whitebeard, who was still feeling emotional, was stunned for a moment after hearing Marka's words, and then he smiled with relief.

"Yes, this day is really going to change."

Whitebeard murmured softly, his eyes looking towards the distant sea.

It is foreseeable that...

In the period of time following the end of this live broadcast, everything related to the Straw Hat Pirates will surely be enthusiastically sought after by the whole world.

Whether it is the products of the Straw Hat industries or the Straw Hat fleet that is preparing to expand its personnel.

Perhaps within two or three years, the entire ocean will become filled with only one voice.

Because all other voices will become weak and isolated.

“I don’t know what kind of world that would be.”

Deep in Whitebeard's gloomy eyes, a glimmer of expectation flashed.

……

……

On the other side, Elbaf Sun Realm.

Although all the members of Elbaf are warriors, not all the giants are qualified to go to the scene.

After all, in a battle of that level, just the aftermath would be a fatal blow to the weak.

At this time, in the giant villages on the branches of the World Tree, the giants were like villagers sitting at the entrance of the village watching TV, surrounding a screen that was not very big to them.

When they saw the last defender, Shanks, also lost, the giants one after another suddenly lost their life and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Compared to the World Government, which has only been established for more than 800 years, the history of Elbaf can be traced back to ancient times.

Its heroic reputation has been passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

The glory of Elbaf is a holy place in the hearts of every Elbaf giant.

But today, this holy land has a new owner.

When they thought that Elbaf would have to become a product under the rule of others, they couldn't help feeling lost.

However, at this moment, an excited voice suddenly resounded through the quiet square at an inopportune time.

"Wuhu!!! The Straw Hat Pirates won!!!"

All of a sudden, all the giants were startled and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Then they saw a young giant with pink curly hair waving a wooden sword and excitedly talking to his friends:

"So from today on... we are also considered members of the Straw Hat Pirates, right!?"

The person who spoke was Kolon, the child born to Jabba, the cave traveler, and the giantess Lipri.

And around Kolon sat a group of giant children from the Walrus Academy.

One of the little fat guys heard what Kolon said and raised his hand and said:
"Hey, hey, why don't we form a pirate group like Helding and join the Straw Hat Grand Fleet!"

The other giant children followed suit.

"They are all so strong. If we join them, will we be able to become as strong as them in the future?!"

"We who possess the power will surely restore the glory of Elbaf and make the name of the Elbaf Giants resound throughout the world once again!"

"Hehehe~ I don't have so many thoughts. I just want to beat Elder Yalulu to a pulp! He laughed at me when I was changing my teeth eight years ago! I want to laugh back at him!!!"

"........."

"........."

A group of giant kids who were only in their twenties or thirties gathered together, saying some outrageous words.

The giants who heard the children's speeches also looked dazed, and then they stared at each other.

"It seems... there's nothing wrong with joining the Straw Hat Pirates?"

"That's true. Winners take all. If even children can accept and look forward to something, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it."

"Perhaps with the help of the Straw Hat Pirates, our future life will be better? After all, they are able to tame even a guy like Loki."

"Speaking of which... does that mean Loki won't return to Elbaf in the future? That would be great! I fully support the rule of the Straw Hat Pirates!!!"

The originally serious atmosphere suddenly became cheerful with the children's words.

The giants, who were not good at keeping serious, soon began to imagine what Elbaf would look like in the future, just like the children.

……

……

On the battlefield of the underworld.

With Shanks' defeat, this farce-like ring match ended with the Straw Hat Pirates winning a great victory.

What followed was the scene where, under the attention of the whole world, the representative of Elbaf, Elder Alulu, declared his submission to the representative of the Straw Hat Pirates, Moriah.

Because he had already made a plan in mind, Yalulu did not look overly embarrassed.

Except for accidentally touching the big sword stuck on his head when he bent down, which caused Yalu's head to hurt for a while, the normal surrender ceremony went unexpectedly smoothly.

Soon after, the news that Elbaf joined the Straw Hat Pirates became common knowledge as major media outlets rushed to report on it!

A few hours later, Red, who was in seclusion with the Straw Hat Pirates, received the good news from Moria in his spare time and contacted Moria.

"Is that so? I didn't expect Law to have grown to this level? Even Shanks can't be his match?"

Listening to Moria's detailed report on the battle situation, Chihong exclaimed in admiration.

After all, compared to the Straw Hat Pirates, the resources and energy he invested in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet and others were really limited.

The fact that we have come this far is all thanks to the talents and hard work of several captains of the large fleet.

But soon, Chihong put his feelings aside and asked Moria about another more important matter.

"How is it, Moriah?"

"The last signpost of the historical text is in Elbaf!?"
