One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

He turned his bewildered gaze to Crimson: "Could it be that lecherous cook also..."

"That's right!"

Before Zoro could finish speaking, Red nodded vigorously and then added with a smile:

"Sanji has also successfully completed his Pokémon transformation, which is the special evolution that Zoro did before."

“And unlike you, Zoro…” At this point, Akane paused abruptly, his tone turning sarcastic, “Sanji achieved a simultaneous evolution of both fire and fighting attributes in one fell swoop!”

"Compared to your previous Pokémon transformations, Zoro, this is much more complete!"

"........."

Upon hearing this news, Zoro's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a flushed red face.

He also held the hilt of the knife with one hand, gripping it tightly.

After a moment, Zoro suddenly said with a determined look in his eyes:

"Don't waste your time here, Crimson!"

"I am now..."

"I can't wait to chop something up!"

Chapter 274 The Strongest VS The Supreme (Seeking monthly votes~)

boom……

The heavy doors slowly opened, and a solemn aura suddenly appeared, dispelling the ghostly mist surrounding Crimson and Zoro.

A sacred and bright light illuminated the scene before them.

A magnificent and solemn atmosphere, a solid and stable rocky ground, and a red-haired youth standing in the very center of the battlefield with his Pokémon Dragonite!

"It's finally here!"

As if he had anticipated Crimson's appearance, Adu slowly raised his head, revealing a handsome yet dignified smile, exuding the air of a mysterious and powerful figure.

The Dragonite beside him was completely different from the fat dragon image in the anime and games. With a resolute look in its eyes, it let out a roar that was neither too loud nor too soft, exuding an imposing aura.

"To put so much pressure on people right from the start, they truly deserve to be called the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings."

Red and Zoro walked along, taking in their surroundings.

As the final contestant in the Heavenly King Challenge, A-Du's battle room, though not luxurious, exuded an aura of supreme power, perfectly matching his identity as a Dragon Tamer.

Even though it seems like he only has one Dragon-type Pokémon...

Having already experienced countless battles, Red and Zoro were naturally not intimidated by this little bit of momentum.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two walked directly to A-Du, triggering the actual battle switch.

Dragon King Adu flicked his cloak, a smile playing on his lips, and said calmly and confidently:

"I am the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings, and also their commander!"

"And the Pokémon I use comes from the most powerful creature in legend—the dragon!"

"In this world, no one can defeat the unparalleled dragon race!"

"So, prepare for defeat, challenger!!!"

wow——

The moment Adu finished speaking, a mysterious battle space immediately spread outwards from beneath his feet, enveloping the entire room as always.

The battle officially began at this moment.

Crimson, standing opposite, smiled slightly.

Although he knew that A-Du was just an NPC who had been given temporary intelligence by the machine, he still responded:

"The strongest creature?"

"That's quite a coincidence."

"Because the one I'm sending out is a supreme dragon that's even more powerful than the strongest!"

"Go! Zoro, activate your Dragon Form!"

"Show your true power!!!"

With a wave of his crimson hand, a mixture of Conqueror's Haki and Aura surged forth, pressing down on Awakening opposite him.

The Dragon Tamer was equally determined, instantly unleashing a mysterious energy from his body and sending out his first Pokémon.

"Go ahead, it's the one I've chosen!"

The red light from the Poké Ball flashed in the air, quickly coalescing into a blue Pokémon with a cylindrical mouth and sharp spikes.

A level 64 Pokémon whose only connection to dragons is its name – Seadra!

"Classic! Absolutely classic!"

Even though he already knew the outcome, watching Lance, who claimed to be a Dragon Pokémon Trainer, throw out a Water-type Pokémon...

Crimson almost applauded the famous scene before him.

Although it has nothing to do with the dragon attribute, it does not affect the Seadra's strength.

As soon as it appeared, a damp aura suddenly gushed out from the Sea Thorn Dragon's body, spreading throughout the entire area.

Clearly, this Seadra, raised by Elite Four member Awakening, possesses a special hidden ability called Moisture, which counters all explosive moves and skills.

Fortunately, none of this affected Zoro.

Upon hearing from Akane that Sanji had also mastered Pokémon transformation and had even perfected it more than Zoro, a surge of pride welled up within him.

He had worked so hard to reclaim the second-best fighting position, and he didn't want to give it up so easily.

"Ugh—!!!"

Zoro's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he let out a beast-like roar.

The next instant, his body suddenly erupted with a holy white light, and under the shimmering light, his body continuously transformed.

Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening roar, like rolling thunder, resounded in the enclosed battle space, shaking everyone to their core.

Immediately afterwards, a patch of pitch-black lightning suddenly erupted from around Zoro's body, wrapping around him like a rift in the void, adding a terrifying aura to him out of nowhere.

"This is?"

Seeing Zoro suddenly enter his evolved state, Wataru's eyes flashed, and he instantly showed a look of surprise.

As one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he was certainly not surprised by Zoro's sudden evolution.

After all, he had heard about MEGA evolution before.

only……

A-Du frowned, looking at his Water-type Seadra on the field, and couldn't help but roar inwardly:

"Why is the opponent's Pokémon emitting such a strong Dragon-type energy fluctuation!?"

"Who exactly is the Dragon Tamer?!"

The doubt flashed through A-Du's mind for only a moment, because at that moment, Zoro on the other side had completed his evolution.

wow——

The brilliance of evolution shattered like starlight, then scattered and disappeared into the air.

A half-dragon with dragon wings and a thick tail, standing in human form, suddenly appeared in Adu's eyes.

Three-Sword Style Zoro - Dragon Form, here I come!

"Although there's still a gap between him and Sanji's dual-type evolution, thanks to the power of the Dragon type, Zoro's power boost after Pokémon transformation might even be slightly better than Sanji's!"

From the moment Zoro stepped onto the battlefield, the crimson figure with eyes gleaming with azure light had been using his aura to observe the changes in Zoro's body.

And indeed, Zoro and Sanji's evolution was exactly as he predicted, a strange process of transforming humans into Pokémon.

"That's outrageous!"

A deep sense of emotion welled up within me.

On the battlefield, after sensing the immense dragon-attribute energy emanating from Zoro, Awata realized that the challenger before him was no ordinary opponent.

"Looks like I'll have to show you my true skills!"

He chuckled softly and murmured something.

The next moment, a surge of dragon-attribute energy suddenly erupted from his body and flowed into the Sea Thorn Dragon's body.

This is precisely his special ability as a Dragon Tamer!

It can enhance a Pokémon's Dragon-type energy during battle, thereby increasing the power of Dragon-type moves.

"Seadragon, use Dragon Pulse!"

Having done all this, Wataru didn't give Zoro time to react and immediately ordered the Sea Dragon to attack.

In an instant, the Seadragon, having just received a surge of external energy, mobilized it.

Its seemingly cute appearance actually condenses into a terrifying energy sphere in an instant, which is then released in a flash.

boom!!!

Like a raging storm, the Dragon's Wave swept across the entire area, charging swiftly towards Zoro.

however……

Is that all there is to it?

Zoro, now transformed into a Pokémon, flicked his dragon tail and showed a displeased expression on his face.

Immediately, an energy fluctuation identical to that of the Sea Dragon surged from his body.

In the blink of an eye, an energy sphere even larger than the Dragon Pulse of the Sea Dragon appeared in front of Zoro, but he did not launch it immediately.

Zoro continued to bend over, placing one hand on the Zakyo at his waist, his eyes suddenly flashing with a cold light.
