One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Gurarararar~!!!"

Chapter 206 Dragon Form - Zoro (Please subscribe!)

Thanks to the excellent healing medicine Ace brought back, Whitebeard, who was already suffering from a hidden ailment and had been severely injured in the battle of Marineford...

At this moment, after twenty years, he has returned to his peak!

Although the good medicine only restored his physical strength and vitality, it could not completely cure Whitebeard's illness.

But with the help of good healing medicine, Whitebeard's physical condition was enough to maintain his "peak" for more than a year!

Unfortunately, Whitebeard was getting old. At 72, even though the damage caused by his illness had been repaired, his physical functions could not compare to when he was at his peak at forty.

Fortunately, times have changed!

In Roger's era, even a Yonko's first mate possessed combat power comparable to that of the current Yonko.

The Rocks Pirates crew is composed of members who are at least Yonko commanders!

On the Navy side, there are three terrifying rookies—Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru—who, despite holding the rank of Vice Admiral or even lower, possess overwhelming strength!

It can be said that it was a golden age where generals were as common as dogs and deputy generals were everywhere!

Even if Whitebeard, one of the kings of that era, had his strength diminished, he would still be an existence that could suppress everything on the seas today!

"Dad!!!"

After Whitebeard finished explaining his current state, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates immediately showed expressions of excitement and agitation.

Some even directly suggested:

"Dad! We're so powerful now, maybe we shouldn't make any deals with the Navy!"

"Let's just go straight to Impel Down, rescue our brothers who've been captured, and then go back and wipe out the Marines!!!"

Because of Whitebeard's feat of splitting Marineford in two with a single stroke, the Whitebeard Pirates were now incredibly proud of themselves.

However, upon hearing this suggestion, Marco immediately objected:

"Stop making a fuss!"

"Don't forget, it was because Ace drew the majority of the Navy's firepower that we were able to attack the Navy Headquarters so easily."

"Running back to Marineford at this point, do they think they haven't lost enough brothers already?!"

"Gulalalalala~"

Whitebeard, having regained his strength, laughed loudly, agreeing with Marco's assessment:

"Let's forget about another attack on the navy."

"After all, it would be quite a headache if the world really didn't have a navy."

"So let's go back to the new world first and then make other plans!"

The white-bearded man's eyes gleamed.

He simply couldn't believe that the Warring States period could stand by and watch the entire backbone of the navy disappear.

……

……

A few days later.

Inside a gym in the Pokémon world that resembles a variety show recording set.

Amidst the cheers and jubilation of the large audience, Red, standing on the trainer's platform, suddenly waved his hand, pointed at the Ninetales of Gym Leader Blaine across the way, and shouted loudly:

"Zoro, this is the opponent's last Pokémon!"

"Is it alright!?"

Zoro, who had just fought three Pokémon with strength exceeding level 50, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, thinking of Sanji, whose strength had greatly increased after obtaining the Devil Fruit power, a resolute look flashed in his eyes, and he shouted loudly:

"Of course!"

"I just finished warming up!!!"

"Looks like Sanji really shocked you~"

Hearing Zoro's stubbornness, Akane grinned.

My mind involuntarily drifted back to the internal sparring session of the Straw Hat crew two days ago...

Zoro, who had always been superior to Sanji, was completely outmaneuvered by Sanji's speed after Sanji gained his Devil Fruit powers, and unsurprisingly, he was defeated by Sanji in the end.

This blow was significant for Zoro!

So when he learned that Crimson was going to challenge the Crimson Gym in Crimson Town, he volunteered to participate in today's battle.

With his companions in a state of intense passion for becoming stronger, Red certainly wouldn't dampen Zoro's enthusiasm.

that's it……

After defeating three Fire-type Pokémon of similar strength to Zoro, they faced the final battle of this gym challenge.

"It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting young person as you."

"Unfortunately, your Pokémon is almost out of stamina. I have won this battle!"

Upon discovering Zoro's stamina issues, the gym leader across the way, Blaine, broke into a loud laugh as his face contorted into deep wrinkles.

The Nine-Tails on the battlefield also chirped in agreement: "Chirp~!"

Unfortunately, such a simple provocation tactic is no longer effective against Zoro.

On the Crimson side, there is an even more powerful rhetoric.

He gazed at the Nine-Tails opposite him, pretending to mutter to himself, but accidentally raised his voice:

"If Sanji were here, this battle would probably be over by now!"

"Um!?"

Upon hearing this, Zoro's brows furrowed suddenly.

Although he and Sanji both knew that Red was just deliberately provoking them, Zoro was still filled with uncontrollable rage at this moment!

"That lecherous cook with curly eyebrows just happened to get a suitable Devil Fruit ability by luck..."

"What's there to brag about?!"

boom!!!

A powerful fighting spirit suddenly surged from Zoro's body, mixed with the oppressive nature and the power of Conqueror's Haki, and pressed down on the Nine-Tails opposite him.

"Chirp..."

Feeling the inexplicable pressure on its mind, a strange light flashed in Kurama's eyes.

However, Ninetales is a mysterious Pokémon capable of learning Psychic-type moves, and its mental strength far surpasses that of other Pokémon.

So when faced with Zoro's initial overwhelming aura, it merely frowned slightly.

But the next second, Blaine's voice suddenly entered its ears.

"Watch out, the Nine-Tails!"

"The enemy is attacking! Use high-speed movement now!"

"Chirp!"

Nine-Tailed Fox instantly looked up and was shocked to find a giant dragon phantom with steel wings roaring and flying toward its location from the void.

Kurama then realized that... the aura attack was just a trick by Zoro!

In an instant, a strange light emanated from its body.

A pale golden flash streaked past, and Kurama suddenly left its spot, causing Zoro's slash to lose its target and ultimately strike the wall.

Rumble rumble rumble~

For a moment, the entire dojo seemed to tremble.

"Hahaha, what a terrifying young man!"

It was unclear whether Blaine was praising Crimson or Sauron, but Blaine made a comment that was neither.

But immediately afterward, he quickly gave the order: "Nine-Tails, use Flame Burst!"

"Chirp~"

A beautiful and long fox cry echoed through the dojo.

But as the shout ended, a giant "大" (da) made of flames suddenly appeared in the very center of the dojo, covering the entire area and attacking Zoro's back.

Zoro, unable to dodge in time, was instantly engulfed in flames.

Endless flames engulfed the entire world like a storm.

However, the next second...

boom!

A sword aura, like a rainbow, pierced through the entire world of flames.

Zoro raised his sword with one hand, pointing the Sandai Kitetsu, which was emitting a faint blood-red glow, at the Nine-Tails.

The fire energy attached to him transformed into scorching flames, constantly damaging his body, making Zoro at this moment resemble a demon returned from hell.

"What an annoying flame!"

Feeling the familiar burning sensation on his body, a fierce glint suddenly flashed in Zoro's eyes.

The next second, the "endurance" move was instantly activated.

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body.

Arrogance, rage, destruction, cruelty...

The steel-attribute energy, interwoven with Armament Haki, made the three long swords exceptionally hard.

The demonic energy that merged with the dragon's attribute energy caused changes to Zoro's body!
