One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Because when I was weak, I instinctively used the steel attribute to enhance the strength of the blade and the hardness of my body..."

"So I always thought that the Steel attribute was like the Dragon attribute, which would cause my body to undergo a special change, turning me into a steel behemoth like Franky!"

"But in that very instant, I realized I was wrong!"

Zoro's tone suddenly shifted.

A domineering aura suddenly erupted from his body!

This is not the power of Conqueror's Haki!

Rather, it is Zoro's pure swordsmanship, originating from his original heart!

Zoro grinned and let out a relieved laugh:

"My steel properties are completely different from Franky's!"

"It comes neither from my body nor from the sword in my hand!"

"It is my soul, my destiny, something I've grown accustomed to..."

"Sword swing...and slash!!!"

Whoosh—!!!

Zoro flicked his wrist, and the metallic luster of Wado Ichimonji instantly drew a sharp line of light in the air before disappearing in an instant.

But next second...

boom!!!

A deafening sound suddenly came from the direction of the Red Earth.

A straight black line suddenly appeared on a part of the mountain that was originally protruding.

The next moment, the mountain separated directly from the red earth continent, revealing a smooth cut surface, and plunged into the sea below.

"This is?"

Seeing this familiar scene before him, Sanji suddenly realized what was happening and quickly looked at Zoro.

But all that could be seen was the green-haired swordsman smiling proudly:

"That's right!"

"At this moment, I have successfully awakened the Steel attribute!"

"As you can see, my body has not changed at all, nor has it merged with the blade in my hand."

"Because I have successfully infused the power of steel into my slashes."

"As long as my energy isn't depleted, every swing I make will have the same power as before!"

"Perhaps, this is the correct way to use attribute awakening!"

wow——

The moment he finished speaking, Zoro once again showed Sanji his latest insights.

His wrists twisted and turned, and the longsword in his hand drew streaks of light in the air.

In an instant, countless slashes flew out from Zoro's hands like a rain curtain, crashing one by one towards the Red Line mountain peaks not far away.

Its scale is so grand that it even surpasses Usopp's Endless Turret mode!

This scene left Sanji completely stunned.

At the same time, a strange emotion was also surging within him:

What kind of monster has he been competing with all this time?!

Zoro's realization completely stunned Sanji.

But at the same time, it also ignited a fighting spirit of not giving up in his heart.

He absolutely refused to allow himself... to be left behind by Zoro, even though he had a Devil Fruit ability superior to Zoro's.

Your comprehension is indeed excellent, but now...

He's mine now!

Flames burned fiercely in Sanji's eyes.

Since Zoro can become stronger through the awakening of Pokémon types, there's no reason why I can't do the same!

But before that, he also needs to find his own path!

The old approach of blindly following Red is no longer suitable for Sanji and Zoro, who are in a competitive situation.

They must explore more of their potential outside of the established training path set by Crimson!

……

……

Pangu City, amidst the flowers.

Zoro and Sanji's conversation was not broadcast on the public channel, so Red and the others, who were "treasure hunting," were unaware of Zoro's transformation.

However, the information from Usopp allowed Red and the others to successfully grasp the situation outside.

"The emancipation of the slaves has been completed, and all the slaves in the castle area have been taken in by Capone and Usopp."

"As long as we can successfully escape from here, this operation will be a complete success!"

"Really?!"

"I didn't expect everyone to be so capable!"

Luffy chuckled.

Hearing this good news somewhat eased their frustration after so long of achieving nothing.

Fortunately, their search among the flowers was not entirely fruitless.

Luffy turned his head and looked at Brook and Nami, who were constantly engraving the Poneglyphs, and Robin, who was translating the Poneglyphs into modern language.

That's right!

Although this exploration among the flowers did not yield the Heavenly King Controller that Crimson Heart longed for.

But deep among the flowers, they successfully found a large number of historical texts!

Above each piece of historical text, branches and flowers grow, blending seamlessly with the rest of the flower.

This shows how long it has existed here.

"I thought the World Government was really so stupid as to let the Poneglyphs remain unexplored."

"So they stored all the historical texts they collected here?!"

Just then, Red, who had arranged the meeting point with Usopp and the others, walked over and looked at the Poneglyph that resembled a high wall, a thoughtful expression on his face.

According to the conversation between Im and Cobra, these historical texts were successfully distributed around the world eight hundred years ago under the guidance of Cobra's ancestor Nefit D. Lily.

Over these eight hundred years, the World Government has been searching for these historical texts and storing them in the Flower Chamber, which only Im can access.

In the end, all of this benefited the Straw Hat crew!

You don't need to travel all over the world to collect so many historical texts that record important information and intelligence.

I have to say...

Red decided to give the World Government high praise for their actions!

Didn't you see Robin constantly exclaiming in amazement while translating the Poneglyphs...?

This is enough to show that these historical texts must contain a lot of important information!

Thinking of this, Akane also took out a camera Den Den Mushi and started taking pictures of each line of the Poneglyph on it, just in case.

As it turns out, they might have just been really lucky today!

No one disturbed them in the flower room until Robin finished translating all the historical texts.

Even the Crimson couldn't help but want to know what Im was doing right now!

Of course, that would only happen after he heard Robin's report.

"Luffy, Crimson!"

Robin suddenly stood up, held up the two translated historical texts on the table, and said excitedly:

"All the historical texts have been translated, but there are two documents here that I think you are most concerned about!"

As they spoke, Robin handed the several pieces of information in her hand to Red.

The intelligence reports in Crimson's hand were titled: [Location of Ancient Weapon: Heavenly King], [Operating Instructions for Ancient Weapon: Heavenly King], [Location of Ancient Weapon: Heavenly King Blueprints]...

The intelligence delivered to Luffy was titled: [The Real Existing Deity—Sun God Nika], [Nika's Power], and...

[Speculation on the method for awakening the power of the Sun God using the Nika Fruit]!

Chapter 304 A Life of Speed ​​(Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

"Heavenly King!?"

"Nika!?"

Upon seeing the intelligence in their hands, both Akane and Luffy showed a look of surprise.

The two immediately focused their attention on the text in their hands.

Luffy already knew that the Devil Fruit he ate was not the Gum-Gum Fruit but the Nika Fruit or something similar.

However, in his view, these were all trivial matters that didn't matter.

The name of the fruit doesn't affect him at all; Luffy still habitually calls it the Gum-Gum Fruit.

but……

A name is a name, and ability is an ability.

If it can make him stronger, Luffy wouldn't mind exploring the deeper power of this fruit.

only……
