One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

At the same time, Sanji suddenly let out a painful roar.

It's unclear whether it was from being burned by its own flames or from the venom inside its body.

But the next moment, bursts of brilliant flames suddenly burst forth within his body like fireworks, as if challenging the confinement of his flesh and blood, or as if tempering Sanji's internal organs.

At the same time, Sanji's body surface also began to show hard, shiny muscles that had been tempered by flames.

"This is……"

At this moment, even Red, Sanji's trainer, was somewhat taken aback, wondering what Sanji was up to.

Fortunately, the flames that were relentlessly ravaging Sanji's body did not continue; they slowly disappeared from Sanji's body like an extinguished candle.

"No! It's not time to stop yet!"

However, in an instant, the pained Sanji suddenly let out a hysterical roar:

"If the green algae head can do it... there's no reason why I can't!"

"This damned body, if you still have any hidden power..."

"Unleash it all right now!!!"

"ah----!!!"

Sanji swung his fist, which he never used on enemies, and slammed it into his own chest.

bake!!!

In an instant, boiling flames erupted from his body once more, shooting outwards and engulfing the entire battlefield.

Fortunately, Sanji's opponent in this battle, Ghost King Akiko, showed great sportsmanship by not allowing Arbok to continue attacking him after seeing Sanji's abnormal state, giving him ample time.

For a moment, the entire battlefield seemed to have become Sanji's stage all by himself.

Driven by the energy of the flames, his body slowly rose into the air, his eyes tightly closed, as if he had fallen into some strange state.

It wasn't until he heard Sanji's shout that Akane finally understood what he wanted to do.

Clearly, Sanji witnessed Zoro's new form during the battle on Amazon Lily.

Although it's unclear whether the machine granted the Pokémon their evolutionary abilities, or whether Zoro discovered "Primitive Reversion" or "Mega Evolution" himself, whatever the case...

In his new form, Zoro once again gained power that transcends an entire class!

With attribute panels below level 60, it unleashed the power that a level 70 should have!

Even if it was only for a brief moment, it was enough to prove how terrifying Zoro's talent is.

Although the combined strength of the two of them may still be debatable due to the scientific factors within Sanji's body.

However, Zoro in his new form has clearly surpassed Sanji in terms of offensive capabilities, regaining his position as the second strongest fighter in the Straw Hat Pirates.

So, having witnessed Zoro's new form, Sanji wanted to use today's battle to push himself to the limit!

This is really...

"What an unreasonable competition!"

Upon realizing all this, Crimson could only helplessly shrug and mutter a wry smile.

Despite being completely trustworthy partners, the incompatibility between Sanji and Zoro seems to be etched into their genes, written into their destiny...

It's inexplicable, yet it makes you want to laugh.

But at least for now, it is precisely the competition between the two that has created two incredibly powerful figures for the Straw Hat Pirates!

"That's why I say you guys are the strongest Royal Vice-Presidents!"

Red mouth voluntarily yielded the throne, his gaze focused on Sanji in mid-air, filled with curious anticipation.

Spurred on by Zoro, Sanji's performance did not disappoint him.

After hovering in mid-air for a few seconds, a faint white light suddenly emanated from Sanji's body.

"That's... the light of evolution!?"

Upon seeing this, the Ghost King Kikuko's face immediately showed a look of astonishment.

Thanks to the machine's abilities, she had already accepted Sanji's identity as a Pokémon.

She never imagined that someone would bring a non-final form of Pokémon to challenge the Elite Four!

Whew!

The raging flames suddenly spun, forming a fierce fire tornado that rapidly shrank and condensed around Sanji, as if its energy was being continuously absorbed.

In the blink of an eye...

The fiery tornado, just like the previous fiery skull symbol, entered Sanji's body.

Snapped!

The light of evolution shattered suddenly, turning into starlight that dissipated into the air.

At this moment, a brand new figure appeared in the sky.

A wisp of flame, billowing in the wind; sharp, gleaming full-body armor; and a golden V-shaped helmet emblem representing justice…

At this moment, Sanji actually evolved a mysterious set of flame armor for himself, standing majestically in mid-air like a righteous knight.

"Thank you for your generosity, beautiful lady."

"Now, let's continue our battle!"

Chapter 273 Armed Evolution (×) Pokémon Transformation (√)

After his "evolution," Sanji hovered high in the sky, gentlemanly inviting Kikuko across from him to continue the battle.

When Kikuko saw Sanji in this form, her eyes revealed admiration for the young man.

But the next moment, she turned her gaze directly to the red-haired trainer.

"That's incredible!"

"This is the first time I've seen such a novel evolution. It seems you're not just an ordinary trainer."

"In that case, I'll have to show my true strength!"

Swish!

Kikuko flung her cane away, showing no sign of needing it, and spoke to Akane with an air of authority.

"Forehead……"

Red, who was also completely bewildered by Sanji's evolved form, paused for a moment.

But since the matter had already been brought up, he had no choice but to obediently raise his head and force a cringeworthy smile:

"Then let's fight with all our might!"

"The battle continues!"

As he spoke, Crimson suddenly waved his hand, and a faint yet strange fluctuation suddenly emanated from his body.

It was the waveguide power he had just acquired.

Under the power of the Aura, Sanji's physical condition was instantly revealed to Akane's senses.

"I see."

Is this the essence of evolution?

Within the battle area, Sanji, having received the signal, has once again engaged in combat with Agatha Christie's Arbok.

Red, however, took this opportunity to study the origins of Zoro and Sanji's abnormal evolution.

With the help of the Aura, he was able to clearly perceive that the Aura within Sanji's body was very different from his own and the Ghost King Kikuko's.

Waveguides are the waves of life.

At this moment, Sanji was no different from usual, except that he was wearing a new suit of flame armor.

But based on the knowledge in her mind, Crimson could sense it...

His current life fluctuations are no longer like those of a human; on the contrary, they have many similarities with the Arbok opposite him.

In other words, Sanji, after his "evolution," has become a Pokémon, rather than simply a regular template loaded by a machine.

"It was just a game, and you guys actually turned it into a martial arts technique!"

At this moment, Crimson felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

Although his companions grew stronger one after another in ways he never expected, making him, the trainer, feel almost invisible.

But the strength of his companions will ultimately be fed back to him through the machine.

Crimson is now eager to know what kind of reward the machine will give him after they complete the championship challenge.

With this in mind, he turned his gaze back to the center of the battlefield.

After evolving, Sanji's strength, like Zoro's, has greatly increased.

Furthermore, unlike Zoro's evolution which leans more towards a single dragon attribute...

It's unclear whether it's related to the scientific factors within Sanji's body, which gives his body greater inclusiveness and polygonal shape.

In short, Sanji's evolution seems to be more complete than Zoro's, still embodying both fire and fighting attributes.

At this moment, not only were the flames he released more intense and magnificent, but his combat skills also improved significantly.

The dashing figure flashing through the air perfectly embodies the concept of "impact".

Every movement was so perfect!

After seeing the scene of Sanji fighting Arbok, a ridiculous idiom suddenly popped into Akane's mind—"pleasing to the eye"!

"This fighting!? This exhilaration!? It's like watching a CG animation!" The crimson eyes reflected the dazzling firelight as he murmured softly.

after all……

Sanji, transformed into the Flame Knight, is the dream image in the hearts of boys.
