One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

From the moment Crimson revealed his identity, he had already decided that he must kill this wretched brat!

This guy's gotten so arrogant that he's let his guard down. He can regret it in his next life!

Sizzle!!

The sharp, ten blades gleamed with a cold, icy light, and slashed towards the crimson neck like lightning.

However, the next second...

Peng!

A sudden clang of metal clashing against metal rang out.

The scene of blood gushing out that Kro had envisioned did not appear; instead, a burst of flames suddenly flashed.

Sparks flew up and hit his face, stinging his skin.

At this moment, however, Kro stared wide-eyed in shock, looking in disbelief at the few white marks left on his crimson neck by the ten-bladed cat claws.

"Huh? Why are you attacking me?"

Crimson, equally unaware of Chloe's presence, felt an itch on her neck and belatedly touched the back of her neck.

Under his rubbing, those white marks disappeared instantly.

"This...this is impossible!?"

"I clearly hit you!!!"

Kro screamed in terror.

But Crimson lazily got up and, taking advantage of Kro's dazed look, grabbed his collar.

"Who said that getting hit by your sword would necessarily result in injury?"

With a slight upturn of his crimson lips, he looked at the man known for his wisdom, Hundred Strategies, with amusement.

His intelligence might indeed be quite remarkable in the world of One Piece.

But in the end, his vision and ability were nothing more than that of a frog at the bottom of a well in the East China Sea.

Not to mention the achievement reward of obtaining the gray badge, the crimson one possesses rock-like defense.

Even before he set sail, when facing an enemy of Kro's caliber, he would only experience pain and no other injuries.

For Crimson, Kroo's attacks are like being scratched by a fingernail.

I had feelings for it, but it was over before it even started.

Red muttered, "Really, didn't I already tell you to let Zoro be your opponent?"

"You two fight it out, and don't bother me anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force in his arm and threw Kro away, sending him crashing into the opposite wall.

But compared to the pain from the impact...

Crimson's indifferent tone hurt Chloe even more!

It was like a spiked mace that slammed into his heart.

He stood up from the ground, staring in terror at the crimson, his lips trembling:

"How...how is this possible!?"

Why...is it like this?

Chapter 42 Miracle - Zoro (Please continue reading!)

"Who...who exactly are you people!?"

Once he came to his senses, Kro stared intently at Crimson, his face turning ashen in an instant.

He didn't believe that anyone who could withstand his strikes would be an unknown figure in the East China Sea.

However, Crimson clearly didn't want to waste any more words with him.

In fact, if Zoro hadn't needed a suitable opponent to practice on, he would have let Luffy defeat Kuro in an instant long ago.

Their time is very precious!

Ignoring Kuro, Crimson turned directly to Zoro and said:

"Don't let him come any closer, Zoro."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to resist taking action."

"Yes!"

A look of shame appeared on Zoro's face.

To him, having his defenses breached by the enemy was an insult!

Even without Chi Hong saying it, he would absolutely not allow himself to make the same mistake a second time.

"Hey! Black Cat Kro, your opponent is me!!!"

Zoro's eyes flashed, and his aura suddenly surged forth, directly attracting Kuro's attention.

Immediately afterwards, a strange tremor stirred within Chloe, causing him to subconsciously take a step back.

It was Zoro's signature trait, Intimidation, that was at work!

Before Kuro could react, Zoro strode towards him at breakneck speed!

"Three-Sword Style: Flame Dragon!!!"

boom!!!

An unnamed flame suddenly rose from Zoro's longsword, forming a domineering phantom of a fiery dragon in the air.

"This is!?"

Chi Hong narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although he had expected it, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

It can't be wrong!

Although it's still very slight, the swordsmanship Zoro is using right now definitely contains Dragon-type Pokémon energy!

After thinking about it for the past few days, Red has begun to understand why Zoro was given dragon attributes by the machine.

The dragon is the king of all beasts and is known as the strongest creature!

Compared to Pokémon energies of Fire, Water, Thunder, and Flying types, the Dragon type is more like a powerful force that encompasses everything and combines the strengths of many types!

Dragon-type moves include Dragon Rage (similar to Fire), Tornado (similar to Flying), Dragon Pulse (similar to Water), Meteor Shower (similar to Rock), Dragon Claw (similar to Normal), and Dragon Dive (similar to Fighting)...

Although attributes only have advantages and disadvantages, they don't have strengths and weaknesses!

But in Crimson's view, the purpose of the Dragon attribute is to create the strongest attribute!

Of the entire Straw Hat crew, who is the most eager to be called the "strongest"...

That has to be Zoro!

Of the three main fighters, Luffy's dream is to become the Pirate King, and Sanji's dream is to find All Blue...

The other members also had their own lofty goals.

But from beginning to end, only Zoro's goal has always been to become the world's strongest swordsman!

Red speculates that this is why Zoro was given the dragon attribute!

And Zoro has clearly not failed to live up to the name of the dragon!

Despite not having learned any Dragon-type moves, he managed to create a powerful, unique sword technique by combining the Pokémon energy within him with his understanding of swordsmanship!

This is tantamount to creating entirely new Pokémon moves in the Pokémon world...

Calling it a miracle wouldn't be an exaggeration at all!

bake!!!

The intense heat of the flames caused the room temperature to rise sharply!

Faced with Zoro's fierce slash, Kuro could only raise his cat paws and hold ten long swords in front of him, forming a blade shield!

next second...

boom!!!

The ferocious fire dragon, carrying intense heat, suddenly engulfed Kro.

The violent impact sent him flying, piercing through the villa's wall and landing in Kaya's estate.

As a gust of cold wind blew in, Zoro dissipated his fiery dragon aura, and the room temperature returned to normal.

"Is this your new move?"

Red suddenly asked Zoro a question, his eyes filled with undisguised approval.

"Ah."

Zoro nodded excitedly.

Actually, he wasn't sure if he could actually use this move.

I just feel a special kind of throbbing within my body whenever I want to unleash my murderous intent or emotions of destruction or annihilation.

The sword move he had just successfully executed had completely confirmed to him that he had indeed mastered some kind of extraordinary power!

"Thank you, Crimson!"

Zoro suddenly spoke up.

He knew perfectly well who was responsible for all of this!

However, Red did not accept Zoro's thanks.

He simply smiled:

"Why are you thanking me? I've never taught you how to concentrate Pokémon energy into your sword moves."

"You should thank yourself for never letting up!"
