He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

Another round of confrontation ensued, with both sides remaining deadlocked. Then, they each took a large step back, creating distance between themselves and staring at each other from a distance.

Mars is indeed quite strong.

A swordsman who is proficient in both dual-color Haki and the Six Powers of the Navy.

Gu Xin estimated that he also had A-level strength, making him a formidable opponent.

He didn't expect to understand the specific divisions of strength at each level; that was impossible.

Putting aside the fact that Pokémon battle strength is influenced by many factors, including their inherent abilities, characteristics, and move effects.

Discussing combat power in the world of One Piece is inherently a difficult matter.

There are huge differences between vice admirals in the Navy, and there are also great differences between the Seven Warlords of the Sea. It is impossible to generalize their strength.

Moreover, there are classifications such as Admiral-level, Four Emperors-level, and Vice-Admiral-level.

A single post with just the nine characters "Who is stronger, Whitebeard or Akainu?" was enough to generate nine hundred comments from netizens in the past.

Fans of other anime talk about the plot and how cool or beautiful the characters are, but One Piece fans are all comparing their fighting strength.

Therefore, Guxin is very open-minded. As long as you roughly understand the level of Pokémon's battle strength, that's enough. Striving to become stronger is the key.

The moonlight illuminated Gu Xin's profile, while the other half of his face was shrouded in a hazy shadow, making it impossible to see clearly or describe his expression.

Don't ordinary people's lives matter...?

Blaise was an ordinary man with a life full of hardships. He probably never imagined that the lifeline he had painstakingly found was just a deadly trap set by the Navy and pirates.

"You keep calling people scum, so what about Absalom, who cooperates with you? And Gecko Moria behind him, aren't they pirates too?" Gushin said expressionlessly.

Mars was momentarily speechless, but still retorted, "What do you know? Gecko Moria is a Shichibukai recognized by the World Government!"

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea! They have the legal right to plunder!"

There's not much difference between pirates.

But they are quite different.

Mars' words echoed across the open space, further deepening Guxin's understanding.

Although he already knew what kind of world this was, when the glamorous surface was stripped away and the bloody truth was revealed, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

What a terrible world.

He doesn't consider himself particularly righteous; it's just that, thanks to his upbringing in his previous life, at least his values ​​aren't problematic.

They feel sympathy when they see the weak being bullied, and they will fight back when they encounter violence from the strong.

Therefore, it's perfectly normal to dislike the Navy's behavior of acting as lackeys of the Celestial Dragons while claiming to be righteous and swaggering around with their banners.

If Mars truly strives to eradicate all evil, then it's understandable if some innocent people are affected.

But those words about "one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea" clearly revealed that Mars was nothing more than a self-serving and petty person.

The justice he carried was like his coat fluttering in the wind.

"Sanai..."

On the other side, Gardevoir also heard Mars's words.

It remained silent, its hands clasped in front of it, sensing the surging emotions within.

Not only Guxin, but Gardevoir also deeply felt the cruelty of this world.

Ordinary people like Brace, who have done nothing wrong, still face various difficulties.

Even Mars is a naval force that upholds justice.

Gardevoir doesn't like this world...

Seeing that Guxin remained silent, Mars scoffed, "What's wrong? Do you think what I said is wrong?"

"Let me tell you, this is how the world is."

"Might makes right!"

"My fist is bigger than yours, therefore what I say is the truth!"

Gu Xin nodded slightly: "You're right."

As Doflamingo said, what is justice in this world?

Are pirates necessarily evil?

Is the Navy always right?

wrong.

The victor is justice!

The next moment, Gu Xin struck his abdomen with force, producing a sound like gongs and drums. Then, his aura exploded, like a ferocious beast descending to earth, and a chilling killing intent filled the entire space.

In an instant, his aura surged several times over!

"Abdominal bulge—" Gu Xin said in a deep voice.

In the game, [Bellis Drum] can maximize its power boost by sacrificing half of its health.

In reality, the descriptions of many Pokémon skills and abilities have changed.

[Abdominal Drum]: You can choose to sacrifice some stamina and health in exchange for different percentage increases.

After tonight's hunt, Snorlax has advanced to A- rank, and after using Belly Drum, it has climbed to A rank!

It's worth mentioning that the damage he suffers during the fusion is shared by him and the Pokémon, so he also suffers some of the injuries.

A chilling aura permeated the entire open space, even the air seemed to freeze. Not far away, Absalom, who had been captured alive, lay on the ground with a look of horror on his face.

impossible!

He had only ever felt such power from a handful of strong individuals!

On the other side, after dealing with the remaining zombie army, Van Augur slowly put away his Thousand Six, and his gaze toward Guxin held a hint of fascination.

I must say... he truly deserves to be the captain he chose.

Mars was filled with panic, as if he were being stared at by countless ferocious beasts, a chill running down his spine to his head... He could not hesitate, he had to attack immediately, or disaster would befall him!

He stomped his feet on the ground frantically and burst forth in an instant.

【shave】!

At the same time, he raised his long sword to his chest and left afterimages in the air at lightning speed.

The once snow-white and shiny blade instantly turned as black as ink, as if it wanted to blend into the deep night.

His arm muscles bulged, and in a very short time, he unleashed his power, aiming straight for Guxin's forehead, slashing down with layers of air currents!

Fierce Tiger Style: Asura!

Success!

Mars's face lit up with joy. In the instant the black blade swung down, he saw that Guxin had no time to make any move to resist.

However, it is counterproductive.

Clang——

The incredibly powerful slash landed on the glass-like pale green barrier, only producing a few minor cracks.

Hold on!

Inside the spherical barrier, Guxin remained calm, as if watching a clown jumping around.

Protect is one of the top defensive moves in Pokémon.

In the game, it can withstand any attack.

Pokémon games are usually turn-based, so there are many incredibly powerful moves, such as "Destiny Bond" which brings the opponent to death, and "Try Again" which forces the opponent to use the same move...

In reality, most of these skills have been modified, such as [Bellis Drum], but some skills have remained unchanged.

【Guard】is one of them.

With just a little effort, you can create a 360-degree barrier that can absolutely block any attack.

The downside is that it is prone to malfunction when used continuously in a short period of time, and it is guaranteed to succeed only on the first try.

He dares to use a powerful amplification skill like [Bellis Drum] because he has the confidence provided by skills like [Guard].

Mars' smile froze on his face, and then his pupils suddenly shrank, as if he had seen a horrifying scene comparable to the destruction of the Navy Headquarters.

How is that possible?!

His attack, delivered with all his might, was an assault that even many lieutenant generals in the headquarters dared not meet head-on.

It was blocked by some strange thin film?!

The arrogance he had cultivated over the years shattered completely at this moment.

"Finished?"

"Is it my turn?"
