One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

What was merely a solo move for Chopper was now transformed by Articuno into a violent blizzard, howling as it hurtled towards Sanji, who was struggling to stay afloat.

The extreme ice and snow collided with the surging fire, and endless steam suddenly rose, filling the entire battle area.

"This really is a battle where strangers are kept at bay!"

Feeling the sweltering heat, Crimson immediately used his superpowers to create an insulating barrier around himself, then looked up to continue watching Sanji and Articuno's battle.

Under the influence of the "endurance" effect, Sanji's boost was even greater than that of Luffy and Zoro.

After all, enduring hardship is a technique that stimulates the body and causes pain, thereby drawing energy to strengthen the physical body.

In the process of experiencing pain, Sanji's emotions will inevitably fluctuate violently.

And emotions are one of the key factors that trigger the scientific power within Sanji!

"If Sanji can successfully awaken his bloodline power, he might instantly become the strongest warrior on the Going Merry!"

"I wonder what kind of expression Zoro will have at that time."

"I'm already looking forward to it!"

A wicked smile appeared on his crimson face. He then took a step back and instantly entered the dimensional cave, finding a relatively safe corner where he waited quietly.

There's no need to verify who's stronger between Sanji and Articuno.

When Sanji and Zoro are in a state of barely holding on, their strength is already comparable to that of Cracker, a gatekeeper vice-captain of the Emperor.

While the level 50 Articuno, despite its legendary status and significantly higher stats than the average Articuno, is currently only at the level of an elite Marine Vice Admiral...

He's not even close to being one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so he's no match for Sanji!

And so, the balance of the battle began to shift.

Twenty minutes into the battle, Sanji delivered a powerful kick from the sky, injuring one of Articuno's wings and rendering it unable to take flight again.

After being repeatedly abused, it completely lost its ability to fight and fell into a coma.

"Go, advanced ball!"

With a flash of red light, Articuno, which had been lying on the ground, was instantly caught in the Poké Ball thrown by Crimson, and converted into a generous experience reward, which was then injected into Sanji's body.

[Congratulations on catching Articuno with an Ultra Ball! You have earned 2250 experience points.]

[Congratulations! You have captured Articuno using an Ultra Ball and obtained the item: TM - Blizzard.]

"Thank goodness, thank goodness..."

Seeing the system notification flash by, Crimson breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely terrified by the last machine incident, fearing the system might unleash some other crazy trick on him.

Fortunately, Crimson was lucky this time and successfully obtained an extremely powerful Ice-type move from Articuno.

[Move: Blizzard]

[Attribute: Ice]

【Category: Special】

[Power: 110]

[Description: Summons a powerful blizzard to deal ice-attribute damage to enemies, with a certain chance to freeze them;]

Using this move in icy or extremely cold weather will definitely freeze the opponent.

"A blizzard with a power of 110! Now, Chopper finally has his own area-of-effect (AOE) skill!"

After reading the description of Blizzard's moves, Crimson's eyes flashed with a thoughtful light.

However, he quickly shifted his attention to his achievement rewards screen.

In the template list below the "Legendary Pokémon Conqueror" achievement, a new option, "Articuno LV.50," has now been successfully added.

[Template: Articuno]

[Level: 50]

Personality: Calm

[Attributes: Ice, Flying]

【Characteristic: Sense of oppression】

[Skills: Wind, White Mist, Fine Snow, Freezing Beam, Freeze-Drying, Avalanche... Blizzard, Brave Bird Attack, Black Mist.]

"Is there another template available?"

After muttering something to himself, Crimson glanced at the nearly empty battery on the machine and immediately stopped trying to conserve power, activating the template directly.

In an instant, his body began to change rapidly!

Just like before, his right side sprouted sharp golden feathers, and he entered Zapdos's half-beast form.

Brilliant electric currents burst forth around his body, striking the air.

The crimson left half of his body was now covered in a beautiful, icy-crystal-colored skin!

Soft blue feathers, sharp claws that exude an icy aura!

At this moment, both fierce electric energy and extreme ice energy appeared simultaneously within the crimson body.

The two forces were clearly mismatched, but in the crimson hand, they seemed as close as brothers, instantly merging together and emitting a terrifying aura.

With a powerful swing, a blinding bolt of lightning, swept by the blizzard, streaked across the sky and crashed onto the distant glacier.

Under this terrifying power, the glacier suddenly let out a deafening roar, turning into countless tiny ice crystal fragments that scattered in all directions.

"Interesting!"

After doing all this, Crimson slowly retracted her arms.

A glint of light flashed in those heterochromatic eyes, one gold and one blue, dazzling yet mysterious.

Especially with the superposition of the dual oppressive characteristics, he actually exuded a powerful and undeniable aura of a superior, which made Sanji, who had just drunk the antidote, pause in surprise.

"Crimson, what is this...?"

He was about to ask a question.

But at that moment, the bright red battery level was completely reduced to zero due to the combined use of the two templates.

As darkness descended, Sanji's consciousness returned directly to his body in the real world.

He sat up and blinked in surprise.

Recalling the crimson crown that was half golden and half azure...

Even he, who had always only liked women, couldn't help but sigh:

"That Crimson guy is way too handsome!?"

"Crimson is getting stronger too!"

Sanji pursed his lips slightly after lying down.

Although this first mate always liked to stir up trouble between him and the green-haired captain, constantly putting them in competition, anyway...

Under the tutelage of the first mate, his strength is now improving at an alarming rate.

Who would have thought...

Now he is capable of fighting against a Navy Admiral, but just a few months ago he was only the sous chef of a restaurant in the East Blue!

"The Pokémon world...it's truly an amazing place!"

With these thoughts in mind, Sanji slowly drifted off to sleep.

Silent all night.

Before we knew it, it was the morning of the second day.

The first rays of sunlight pierced through the thin mist on the horizon, casting golden light upon the calm sea. The sea breeze, carrying a touch of coolness and the scent of the ocean, caressed my face, invigorating my spirit.

No longer needing to hide, the Merry returned to the surface of the sea and, propelled by the waves, headed towards Water Seven.

Just as everyone was preparing to return to their daily lives and enjoy the adventures of the Grand Line...

The Den Den Mushi that everyone had been waiting for but hadn't rung for finally rang again.

"Bru bru bru~"

"Bru bru bru~"

The busy ringing of the telephone abruptly interrupted what everyone was about to do.

Upon hearing this, Ace, who was staying on the Going Merry, quickly stepped forward and answered the Den Den Mushi.

"Hello!? Is this Marco!?"

Ace immediately spoke into the microphone and asked a question.

Just then, Den Den Mushi's face suddenly became calm, its eyes shining as it stared directly at Ace.

Immediately afterward, the Den Den Mushi spoke, emitting a voice that was authoritative without being angry:

"Ace, it's me."

Upon hearing this voice, Ace's eyes flashed for a moment, then he immediately shouted with delight:

"...Dad!"

"Thank goodness! Are you alright?"

"Gurarararar~" The white-bearded man on the other end of the Den Den Mushi suddenly burst into a hearty laugh: "What could I possibly want?"

He then added directly, "You've been out having fun long enough, isn't it time to come back?"

"Dad!"

Upon hearing that long-lost voice, Ace's eyes suddenly reddened.

He nodded vigorously.

Although he ultimately failed to kill Blackbeard, he didn't even see him.
