One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"There's absolutely no way your strength could have increased that much!"

With a wave of his hand and a determined look on his face, Lance gave another command to Dragonite:

"Don't be afraid!"

"The opponent definitely won't be able to hold out for much longer."

His attitude was absolutely certain.

Dragonite nodded in agreement, and then its wings, which were completely disproportionate to its body size, suddenly trembled.

The Dragonite family possesses racial advantages that no other Pokémon can match.

Almost every adult, fully developed Dragonite can accomplish the feat of circling the Earth within 16 hours.

This Dragonite, which was raised by the Dragon-type Elite Four member Lance as his ace, is naturally even more outstanding.

Although it is difficult for it to make full use of its race's high-speed movement ability on the battlefield, even so, the speed it can unleash in an instant is still astonishing!

boom!

A powerful hurricane is raging again.

Suddenly, an orange beam of light appeared in the center of the battlefield, flying straight into the sky and then flashing irregularly above Zoro's head like lightning.

At the same time, A-Du, who was wielding the power of dragon control, shouted a reminder:

"Dragonite, use Extreme Speed ​​first!"

"Ow~!"

As Dragonite responded, a strange energy suddenly surged from its body.

The next second, its flight speed increased again.

The previously violent, turbulent winds vanished, replaced by a continuous, ear-piercing sound of air being torn apart.

At this moment, Dragonite's speed seemed to have broken through the constraints of space, moving around Zoro's head at will as if teleporting, searching for the best opportunity to attack.

Suddenly, the howling wind stopped abruptly.

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Dragonite in the air, as if it had discovered Zoro's weakness. Without Lance's command again, it immediately launched the Dragon-type move with a power of 100 points, Dragon God Dive, and crashed down from the sky towards Zoro.

The overwhelming aura formed a phantom of a divine dragon in mid-air, seemingly covering the entire arena, leaving Zoro with no way to escape.

A terrifying pressure descended directly upon Zoro.

However, at that moment, Crimson, who was watching this scene on the field, suddenly spoke up:

"As expected of the legendary pseudo-legendary Dragonite!"

"At this speed, even ordinary Pokémon couldn't catch a glimpse of it!"

"The Four Heavenly Kings truly live up to their name!"

"It's just a pity..."

Under A-Du's puzzled gaze, the crimson corners of his mouth suddenly widened into a meaningful smile, and then he continued:

"This level of speed seems a bit too much for Zoro!"

"Huh?!" Adu frowned, somewhat unable to understand Crimson's words.

Despite knowing the terrifying speed of Dragonite, he didn't think Red and Zoro could handle it, but deep down he had a bad feeling.

"Flying around, you don't actually think..."

"You're really fast, aren't you!?"

At that moment, Zoro on the field also suddenly spoke up.

At the same time, his gaze shifted instantly, fixing on the Dragonite in the air.

On the fang-like blades on both sides of his face, an energy spot that was in no way weaker than Dragonite's aura also emanated.

Obviously...

Even the Dragonite, which moves at high speed like a streak of light, has never escaped Zoro's perception range.

Zoro had already made preparations to deal with Dragonite.

"Dragon Blade Style: Double Moon - Ringing Flash!!!"

boom!!!

With a sudden swing of his massive and thick dragon arm, two crescent-shaped, sky-piercing slashes shot out from the giant sword on Zoro's arm, heading straight for the dragon in the air.

"Chirp!"

The Dragonite, which had thought it would successfully launch a sneak attack, was suddenly taken aback.

But now that things had come to this, it had no choice but to ignore everything and continue with the dragon dive that was already halfway through!

then……

Pfft!!!

The sharp slash swept across the Dragonite's body.

The slash, imbued with endless dragon-attribute energy, created a huge "X" mark on its body.

Due to the elemental advantage that Dragonite has over Dragonite, the damage Dragonite takes is even greater than the damage from the slash itself!

If it weren't for the battle area with special protection rules, this single attack would have been enough to leave a terrible wound on the Dragonite.

The Dragonite's momentum weakened considerably after being affected by the slash.

But no matter what, it was Lance's ace Pokémon. With a tenacity that ordinary Pokémon could hardly match, Dragonite disregarded everything and did not even allow the Dragon-type energy gathered on its body to be affected in any way, and still charged towards Zoro without hesitation.

If this attack lands on Zoro, the damage he suffers will definitely be more severe than what he himself would experience.

What Dragonite didn't expect was...

After the sharp slashing light disappeared, an even more dazzling light appeared before its eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a vast aura of destruction swept over us.

"Oh no! Get out of the way!!!"

A-du, who witnessed the same scene from the outskirts of the battlefield, shouted a warning in a panic.

But it was all too late!

boom!!!

The long-awaited Destruction Beam suddenly shot out from the blade protruding from Zoro's neck, transforming into two crescent-shaped slashes that were even larger and sharper than before, flying towards Dragonite.

The double moon is more than just a single full moon!

"Awooo—!!!"

As expected...

Confused by the previous two slashes, Dragonite was instantly engulfed by the two Hyper Beam beams, taking the full force of this ultimate Pokémon move with a power of 150.

The Dragonite, letting out a pitiful cry, fell from the sky.

The offensive force it had gathered was completely shattered at that moment.

Peng!

The Dragonite, covered in wounds, crashed to the ground like a falling rock, raising a cloud of dust.

Dragonite!

Adu immediately let out a loud shout.

Just then, from within the dust that seemed to conceal everything like a curtain, a hoarse response immediately came.

"Ow~!"

The next moment, a gust of wind rose up, blowing away all the smoke and dust.

The Dragonite, covered in wounds and clutching a part of its body with one paw, was hunched over, one eye tightly closed in pain, the other fixed on Zoro opposite it.

As the strongest race below the legendary beasts, Dragonite is not so easily defeated by Zoro's single blow!

Even if... that's the most powerful Pokémon move Zoro currently knows.

After using the Hyper Beam once, Zoro was also affected by the attack, and his body stiffened and he stood frozen in place.

For a moment, the two dragons faced each other across the air, their fighting spirit blazing forth once more.

However, Lance, being a trainer, wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass him by:

"Dragonite, use Roost!"

"Ow~"

Dragonite responded weakly in a low voice, then immediately retracted its wings.

In an instant, a faint blue light appeared on the surface of his body.

And the pain on its face was relieved as a result.

The Flying-type move, Roost, consumes a large amount of Flying-type energy to restore injuries and stamina.

It's essentially a classic tactic of sacrificing future combat power in exchange for present combat power.

It's similar to Zoro's current state of barely holding on!

One is simply restoring a state, while the other is breaking through the ceiling of that state and entering a higher form.

"Shall we compete in terms of expending energy?"

Seeing this, a strange light flashed in Scarlet's eyes, and he suddenly shouted at Zoro:

"Zoro, interrupt it!"

"We can't let him recover any further!"

Although the real-world Yuqi is not as magical as in the game, this is definitely not the scene they want to see right now.

"understand!"

Without hesitation after being reminded, Zoro immediately swung his arm after the destructive beam's effect on his body had lessened, without bothering to refine his technique, and unleashed a powerful aerial slash.

Peng! ! !
