One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"However, I regret to inform you that I have absolutely no interest in becoming the strongest skeleton at the moment."

"If possible, I would still like to have a normal human body."

"This is something you, who possess both a physical body and a skeleton, cannot comprehend."

"It's alright."

"Anyway... the moment you chose me as your opponent, your life's symphony was destined to end there."

"By the way, I'm a member of the Straw Hat Pirates..."

"The weakest one!"

"I must say, you have excellent taste!!!"

Chapter 382 A Wavering Heart (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

"It seems... I'm your only opponent."

In mid-air, Jinbe, hovering on the water-ripple-like Moonwalk, first glanced at Celeste Palace, which was chasing after Chopper, and then at Brook and Abyss Saint, who had begun to confront each other below.

Finally, he focused his gaze on the knight before him, whose expression seemed to never change, always bearing the kind, smiling face of a prince.

However, the Smiling Prince remained calm as always when faced with Jinbe's gaze.

He remained silent, but his body suddenly underwent a change.

"So... he's a Devil Fruit user too!?"

Jinbe was not surprised by the strange behavior of the person in front of him.

But the next moment, his previously wary eyes suddenly went blank.

At this moment, the smiling prince in front of him had completely disappeared.

Instead……

He was wearing a strange lotus leaf hat, from the very center of which his shiny head was exposed.

It is short in stature, dark green all over, with a duck's beak and frog's claws, and its small eyes contain an endless aura of lewdness.

For some reason, looking at this strange creature in front of him, Jinbe felt that it was more suitable to be called a "fishman" than himself.

Just then, the usually taciturn knights suddenly spoke:

"Seven Warlords of the Sea, Knight of the Sea, Jinbe, I never expected you to be colluding with the Straw Hat Pirates..."

A sound like that of a duck came from the strange creature in front of them.

Although he found the creature in front of him quite comical, Jinbe, who could sense a powerful aura emanating from its strange body, did not show any disdain.

Respecting every opponent has always been his guiding principle.

"I am now an official member of the Straw Hat Pirates."

Jinbe assumed a fighting stance and then explained his change of identity.

"Just as I expected..."

The comical monster opened its strange, duck-like mouth, and then said:

"In that case, there's nothing more to say."

As he spoke, a bright blue light suddenly flashed in his eyes, rippling violently like waves in water.

The next moment, just like the other Knights of God, he arrogantly began to expose his own origins:

"Knights of God, Baal, Zoan-type Mythical Zoan, Fish-Fish Fruit, Kappa Form Devil!!!"

"As expected, he's a Mythical Zoan-type ability user!"

Upon hearing this, Jinbe frowned slightly.

Although he had already guessed something from the strange appearances of the two previous members of the Divine Knights and the person before him.

But when he learned that the monster in front of him was also a mythical beast belonging to the legendary creatures, he couldn't help but be shocked.

As expected of a powerful figure under the World Government, these troublesome fellows keep coming one after another!

A thought flashed through Jinbe's mind, and a faint blue light, like ripples on water, also appeared in his eyes.

At least……

I'm incredibly strong now too!!!

……

……

"Everyone's a Mythical Zoan type!?"

"That's quite a generous gesture!"

Meanwhile, in the sky, watching the other three members of the God Knights complete their transformations, Crimson couldn't help but sigh softly.

Having recently plundered a large number of precious Devil Fruits from Mary Geoise, he was well aware of just how astonishing the World Government's Devil Fruit reserves were.

What truly impressed him was that none of the three people's Devil Fruit abilities were merely for show.

Snow Woman, Hungry Skeleton, Kappa...

All three Devil Fruits are from the well-known, red-haired island nation's great demons.

In some stories, these three monsters are even more powerful than the Five Elders in their monster forms.

"so……"

"And what are your abilities?!"

"At this point, there's no need to hold back. In this state, you're no match for me."

Crimson's gaze shifted, his eyes fixed on the Milibella Palace opposite, a smile of interest playing on his lips.

If even her subordinates possess such powerful Devil Fruit abilities, then as the vice commander, she naturally wouldn't be left behind.

As expected, immediately after the crimson voice fell, the Milibella Palace responded with a cold and indifferent tone:

"Since you want to die quickly, then I will grant your last wish!"

coax……

A thick, pitch-black fog suddenly billowed out from the gaps in the armor of the Milibella Palace.

In the blink of an eye, it enveloped her entire body.

Immediately afterwards, two jet-black flame clouds suddenly appeared from the thick black fog, wrapping around a body with a human body and a bird's head like silk.

wow——

Two exquisite black wings suddenly unfurled, casting a shadow over the ground below.

After the transformation, Milibella Palace did not change much in appearance, except that her body was covered with a black feather that shone with an eerie light.

Behind her were a pair of perfectly proportioned wings, like those of a raven.

shuh...

Milibella raised her longsword again. As if influenced by the fruit's power, the hilt of her black sword was also covered with a layer of sharp black feathers, extending diagonally backward like a handguard.

"Zoan Type, Mythical Zoan, Bird-Bird Fruit, Karasu Tengu Mode!"

A dazzling light flashed in Milibella's eyes as she unleashed her Devil Fruit power. With a commanding tone, she revealed her Devil Fruit ability.

As Mythical Zoan users, the names of their Devil Fruits do not reveal their abilities; on the contrary, they use the fame of the fruit to exert psychological pressure on their enemies.

Therefore, in the world of One Piece, the more precious a Devil Fruit user's ability is, the more they want all their enemies to know what Devil Fruit they ate before the battle even begins.

only……

"A crow tengu?!"

"Are you the Knights of God or the Knights of Demons?!"

"Could it be that, apart from Amyra Palace with the Angel Fruit, all the other powerful figures are just a bunch of random monsters?!"

With a raised red eyebrow, he smiled at Milibella Palace in a teasing manner.

Upon hearing Chi Hong's words, a hint of displeasure flashed across the usually calm and composed Milibela Palace's face.

She then spoke:

"Don't compare me to that good-for-nothing from the Emirati Palace!"

"He's just a lucky guy who got promoted because of the special nature of his Devil Fruit ability!"

"The fact that she died so inexplicably at your hands proves that her existence was utterly worthless!"

"but me!"

Swish!

The jet-black longsword drew a sharp sword aura in the air.

Milibella Palace raised its head, its sharp, bird-like eyes bright and gleaming as it looked at the crimson figure before it, and continued slowly:

"I am the strongest in the Knights of God, second only to the Holy Grimm!"

"Under my black blade, anyone who violates the honor of the Celestial Dragons..."

"Execute immediately!!!"

Whoosh! ! !

The moment the words fell, the Milibela Palace, now in its Tengu form, suddenly transformed into an extreme blur, hurtling towards Crimson at high speed like an invading lightning bolt.

With incredible speed, the black blade in her hand transformed into an undetectable streak of light, arriving in front of Crimson in an instant.

"So fast!"

The crimson pupils of the super-mewtwo X shrank, and it quickly used its psychic power to create an energy shield in the area that was hit.

The next moment...

Whoosh! ! !

His body suddenly flew towards the ground below like a shooting star.
