One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Although, judging from the name, gold is far more valuable than iron.

In Red's opinion, the power of the Iron-Iron Fruit far surpasses that of the Gold-Gold Fruit!

After all, there are far more people who carry iron when they go out than those who carry gold!

Because the two vice-captains of the Third Division are both quite fierce, Akame directly made them take Zoan-type Ancient Zoan-type Cave Bear and Zoan-type Ancient Zoan-type Great Ape.

As their names suggest, these two Zoan-type Devil Fruits don't have any fancy or complicated abilities.

The fact that it allows the two vice-captains of the Third Division to transform into a giant black bear and a monkey respectively perfectly matches their straightforward and manly fighting style.

As for the other 30 squad leaders, Red also made them eat various types of Devil Fruits, directly depleting the Straw Hat Pirates' Devil Fruit reserves until only some extremely powerful abilities remained.

These abilities will either become Usopp's birth gift for the next insect, or, once Red finds a way to make objects consume Devil Fruits, they will be used to create convenient gadgets with special effects.

At this point...

With over three thousand members, the Straw Hat Army can be considered to have a formal organization.

To differentiate the future Straw Hat Pirates from the Straw Hat Crew in the eyes of outsiders, Red even helped the Straw Hat Crew come up with a catchy name...

The Avengers!!!

after all……

This is a powerful legion formed specifically by vengeful individuals filled with hatred!

Chapter 332 The House of Time and Spirit (Seeking monthly votes~)

"Rubber, rubber... White Bell!!!"

As Luffy roared from the sky, a giant white bell suddenly descended from the heavens, instantly engulfing Palkia, who was confronting Zoro below.

Boom!

On the giant bell, Luffy's head, which had transformed into the bell's handle, emitted a playful laugh:

"Now, let's see how you run around now!"

However, at that moment, Zoro, who had been knocked backward by the impact of the giant bell hitting the ground, suddenly raised his head and shouted helplessly at Luffy:

"Idiot! Have you forgotten that this guy, like Crimson, has the ability to travel through space?!"

Seemingly in response to Zoro's shout, a dazzling display of light and shadow suddenly appeared behind Luffy.

The next second, a ferocious beast, pale purple in color and resembling a giant dragon, appeared behind Luffy.

"Roar!!!"

An enraged Palkia suddenly let out a deafening roar, and strange energy instantly gathered in front of him.

At that moment, all of space around that terrifying energy was distorted.

If Luffy were to actually take this hit, even in Gear 5 mode, he would definitely not be in good shape!

Space and time are ultimately too advanced forces for the pirate world, which only knows how to fight head-on.

At the very least, it can be transformed into the same level as Nika's power, which allows him to control his body at will.

"Watch out, Luffy!!!"

Upon seeing this, Crimson was startled and quickly summoned a dimensional portal behind Luffy.

Meanwhile, another dimensional portal appeared nearby, directly targeting Palkia's attack.

A violent, distorted beam of light suddenly shot out and landed right in the pitch-black dimensional rift.

The next moment, the violent beam of light flew out from the other dimensional portal and slammed into Palkia, smashing him against a distant mountain ridge and embedding him deep inside.

Perhaps because it's the final boss or the end of the story, the battle area this time is extremely vast, enough for Luffy and Palkia to have a good fight.

"Ow~!"

A painful and furious roar suddenly rang out from the distant mountain ridge.

A dark purple light flashed again, and a vast beam of energy shot out from the depths of the mountain ridge, hurtling towards where Crimson and the others were.

Clearly, Palkia was thoroughly enraged by this attack.

"I never imagined... that a divine beast with divine authority would be so powerful!"

Red muttered to himself, realizing that he had made a serious mistake in his previous judgment of Palkia.

I originally thought that Palkia, without its original form, couldn't possibly compare to Mewtwo after its Mega Evolution...

However, as it turns out, Palkia, who possesses the divine authority over space, can demonstrate power that is definitely not as simple as what is shown on the stats.

"I'll help you!"

The Crimson Opening, who thought Luffy and Zoro could easily defeat it, suddenly unleashed two powerful bursts of energy from its body.

A pale blue aura instantly flowed into Luffy's body, which possessed a large amount of aura, causing his sensory abilities to increase dramatically.

Another surge of crimson dragon-controlling power flowed directly into Zoro's body, causing his dragon-type energy to expand dramatically and making him even more imposing.

“I misjudged it,” Crimson admitted. “This guy’s control over space is too strong, and it seems that manipulating space has become instinctive for him…”

Red couldn't understand... Palkia, who was portrayed as so weak in the anime, was so much stronger in the game world!?

Combat is no longer a simple clash of energy, but rather a skillful application of one's control over space.

Otherwise... a mere level 70 divine beast wouldn't have caused Luffy and Zoro such a problem even when they worked together.

Although Red didn't think Luffy and his crew would fail, dragging things out like this was taking too much time.

Their time is extremely precious!!!

"What do we do next?" Zoro, who had put the knife in his mouth again, looked up and asked Red.

Crimson calmly replied:

"You two just continue fighting as before! I will shield you from all his attacks!"

"rest assured!"

"Although it has considerable expertise in spatial manipulation, my spatial techniques are exactly what counter this guy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a reassuring smile appeared on his bright red lips.

Luffy and Zoro echoed these words.

In an instant, three bursts of Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted from Akane and the others.

"Sorry, Sanji," Akane chuckled to himself, "The Straw Hat's three main fighters need a fresh dose of blood today!!!"

"Rubber...white rocket!!!"

"Three-Sword Style Secret Technique - Dragon Realm - Mighty Claw!!!"

"An alternate dimension!"

Luffy's fist suddenly transformed, becoming a giant rocket warhead that spewed white blasts of air as it hurtled towards Palkia.

Three sharp slashes followed closely behind, transforming in mid-air into a ferocious steel-winged dragon that swung its vicious claws forward.

Just then, two interdimensional portals suddenly appeared before Luffy and Zoro's attacks, instantly engulfing them.

Suddenly, two dimensional black holes appeared above Palkia's head and below his feet.

boom!!!

The giant fist from Gear Fifth Luffy and the full-force slash from Ultra Instinct Zoro instantly descended upon Palkia, causing this divine beast that manipulates space to let out a painful howl.

"As expected! Palkia, who excels at creating and destroying space, is completely helpless against this ability to connect space into points..."

"No wonder he has the title of 'Space Outcast'."

"Luckily, I don't care about any of that!!!... Just obediently become a part of my power!"

Countless thoughts flashed through his crimson mind, and he suddenly revealed a greedy expression, anticipating the power that the Palkia template would bring him.

"It works! He really can't handle the crimson technique!"

Just then, seeing that his attack had successfully hit the opponent again, Luffy's face immediately lit up with a hearty laugh.

God knows how frustrating his fight with that space-distorting behemoth was.

He was clearly superior in both strength and technique, yet his attacks were always affected by his opponent's abilities, deviating from their original trajectory.

They also had to be careful of the terrifying slashing attacks that the opponent could unleash, capable of tearing space apart.

Even Zoro couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this:

"With Crimson joining the team, things suddenly seem to have become much simpler."

"Hahaha, that's because this guy wasn't that strong to begin with!" Crimson chuckled as he explained, "The reason you guys had such a hard time fighting him was simply because you haven't had any experience with spacetime abilities..."

"However, in my impression, spacetime is one of the strongest abilities in the world, so it is normal for this to happen."

"The power of spacetime?!"

Upon hearing Akane mention this unfamiliar term again, a strange light flashed in Luffy and Zoro's eyes.

Although Crimson always emphasized focusing on one's own path and not aiming too high, how could they not have their doubts when they saw such powerful and wondrous forces in the world?

But Crimson's next words directly interrupted their thoughts:

"Alright! Since it can't predict the direction in which the dimensional hole will appear, things will be much easier from here on out!"

With a wave of his crimson hand, he addressed the two directly:

"Let's finish this quickly! There are still many things waiting for us to do in reality!"

"Good!" ×2

Luffy and Zoro abandoned any further thought and immediately responded in unison.

Immediately afterwards, the two acted again, mercilessly swinging their fists and swords at Palkia in the distance, continuing their battle.

Fifteen minutes later...

Palkia, covered in wounds, let out a scream, then closed his eyes and lunged straight forward.

A wealth of experience was infused into Luffy and Zoro's bodies like starlight.

This caused their levels to rise by one level each.
