One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Red grinned, then stretched out his arm, revealing the Pokémon wristband tied to his wrist.

And right in the center of that wristband was a key stone, an item exclusive to MEGA evolution!

This keystone has been in Crimson's hands for almost half a year.

Although he had been used for testing a few times, this was the first time he had been used on the battlefield!

"Now that the decision has been made, let's make it clean and decisive."

Crimson chuckled softly, then extended two fingers of her other hand and suddenly tapped the keystone.

In an instant, a burst of colorful light suddenly appeared, filling the entire space.

"What trick are they playing now!?"

Seeing that Zoro was once again radiating the same white light as before, Akainu frowned suddenly.

But the next second, an aura that made his eyes widen suddenly emanated from beneath the white light.

As silent as death, as mysterious as gods and Buddhas.

The light of evolution that had enveloped Zoro quickly faded away.

Immediately afterwards, a strange creature with three heads and six arms, wielding nine swords and exuding a ghostly aura appeared in front of Akainu.

"Nine-Sword Style: Asura Dragon!"

Zoro suddenly spoke in his MEGA form.

Although it was still Zoro's own voice, the voices coming from the three heads were completely different.

One is as resolute as steel, one as proud as a dragon, and one as cold-blooded as a demon...

The three voices blended together, making Zoro's aura inexplicably mysterious.

After Mega Evolution, six more long swords appeared, each radiating the aura of one of the three Pokémon types: Dragon, Steel, and Ghost.

And this is Zoro's MEGA form!

"Things are starting to get interesting."

Chi Hong smiled slightly, but his figure slowly retreated.

Once MEGA evolution is successful, it will only be limited by time, not by distance.

Therefore, even if Crimson were to switch to other battlefields now, it would be perfectly fine.

The time limit will depend on the physical condition of both Red and Zoro.

With good healing medicine available, the concept of physical exhaustion has long been erased from the Straw Hat Pirates' vocabulary.

In other words...

MEGA evolution, dominated by Crimson, can be said to be without any restrictions in a certain sense!

"The rest is up to you, Zoro."

Red nodded to Zoro, who had entered MEGA mode, then turned his gaze and vanished from the spot in an instant.

In his new form, Zoro turned all three heads toward Akainu's direction and softly replied:

"Ah... I'll take care of it!"

He's terrifyingly strong now!!!

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in all three of Zoro's eyes.

The next instant, his body vanished from Akainu's sight.

When Zoro reappeared, the blade in his hand was already at Akainu's feet.

"What!?"

Completely unexpectedly, Zoro, in his new form, would unleash such astonishing speed, causing Akainu's expression to change drastically.

He subconsciously gathered all his Armament Haki, forming a solid armor of blood and energy in front of him.

however……

"Nine-Sword Style: Asura: Ghostly Spirit: Demonic Dragon Flash!!!"

Swah——

Without giving Akainu any chance to react, a violent aura suddenly erupted from Zoro's nine longswords, like a ferocious dragon extending its claws, instantly shattering Akainu's Armament Haki armor.

In fact, in the instant their eyes met, Zoro had already struck first, secretly using the Ghost-type move Strange Light!

The strange light, while not possessing any lethal ability, can confuse enemies.

So it appears that Zoro's sword aura cleaved through Akainu's Haki defense.

In reality, it was Akainu who voluntarily gave up his defense.

The next second, the hard blade spun rapidly with Zoro's body, forming a terrifying tornado that unexpectedly engulfed Akainu.

A storm of sword energy flashed rapidly around Akainu's body.

In the blink of an eye, the once arrogant Akainu was covered in blood, as if he had been caught in a meat grinder.

"what……"

"You wretched brat!!!"

The intense pain immediately snapped Akainu out of his daze.

Realizing something was wrong, he quickly unleashed his Armament Haki again to defend against the sword energy.

At the same time, his body suddenly erupted with a frenzied aura.

"what!!!"

With a roar from Akainu, endless fireballs shot out from his body in all directions like bullets, directly shattering the sword energy tornado.

Call ~

The strong winds gradually subsided.

However, Akainu's body was already covered in blood and riddled with wounds.

On his cheek, there was a scar that ran from the corner of his eye to his chin, as if it had cut half of his face apart.

Swah——

After the attack, Zoro's body appeared like a ghost in a vast, empty space in mid-air.

"So it really isn't that simple after all!?"

Seeing that Akainu had actually broken free from his full-force attack, Zoro murmured softly.

But then his lips curled into a smile.

It's already clear from the exchange just now...

After his Mega Evolution, he indeed possessed power surpassing that of a top-tier Marine Admiral!

This is not only an improvement in Zoro's basic attributes, but also an increase in the characteristics of the Pokémon world after Mega Evolution.

As the pioneer of the Straw Hat Pirates in developing the power of Pokémon...

Initially, Zoro simply used Pokémon energy as an amplification in his sword techniques.

He then studied how to transform himself into a Pokémon, successfully turning himself into one and becoming more adept at using the characteristics of Pokémon types.

Furthermore, they can extend their Pokémon moves into their sword techniques.

Now, having evolved further into a Pokémon, he is able to transcend the limitations of the move bar, freely using all the Pokémon moves he has ever learned, and extending them into his sword moves.

More important than the increase in physical strength is the increase in techniques and tactics, which is the key to Zoro's huge improvement in strength.

"bring it on!"

"Let me see... just where the limits of this form truly lie!!!"

"Bodybuilding!"

"Dance of the Dragon!"

"Iron Wall!"

"Lightweighting!"

"........."

"........."

In front of Akainu, Zoro immediately unleashed a series of buff-type moves, significantly increasing his base stats once again.

At the same time, terrifying magma erupted from Akainu's body on the other side.

The spreading lava expanded rapidly, eventually forming a gigantic magma giant.

呲——

When a large amount of magma came into contact with the seawater, it instantly erupted into a thick cloud of white steam.

The magma that came into contact with the seawater also broke free from Akainu's control, forming a real landmass that continues to encroach on the surrounding sea.

At this moment, Akainu has become the Grodora of the pirate world, using his Devil Fruit power to create a huge landmass on the sea.

With the formation of this landmass, the lava behemoth also found a new place to settle.

"Damn pirates, prepare to die!!!"

Finally unleashing his last trump card, Akainu let out an angry roar and swung his massive lava fist at Zoro in mid-air.

Upon seeing this, Zoro's eyes flashed with a sharp light, but he neither dodged nor avoided, and charged directly at Akainu's giant lava fist.

A great war is about to break out!

With the buffs of various Pokémon moves, Zoro, with his three heads and six arms, was like a god or demon returned from hell, battling against the lava behemoth that also seemed to come from hell.

In an instant, endless flashes of sword light shot out from the battlefield of the two like lightning.

It crashed into the surging waves, instantly splitting the entire sea surface in two, revealing a gleaming cut.

The relentless bursts of lava meteors have created numerous craters in the ocean.

The ethereal sea fog rose rapidly, making the battlefield seem like a fairyland, shrouded in a veil of mystery.
