One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Even though I'm an old man, I'm far inferior to you, a young man, in terms of both the use of domineering aura and physical strength."

"And your ability to devour bones poses a threat to me that cannot be ignored."

"so……"

"I've chosen to meet you in a completely new form~"

"Be thankful, skeletal monster."

"After all, you're the first person besides my companions to see my new form!!!"

Brook suddenly shoved the cane sword into its sheath, then raised it into the air and slowly pulled it out.

Brook's resolute eyes were reflected on the smooth blade.

The next moment, Brooke suddenly shouted:

"Pokémon Form - Activate!!!"

wow——

A divine light of evolution suddenly shone on Brook's body.

Having joined the Straw Hat Pirates for several months, this ghost, who has wandered between the underworld and the mortal realm for decades...

Finally, at this moment, his dawn broke forth!

Chapter 386 Soul King Brook (Seeking monthly votes~)

The ghostly flames suddenly pierced through the brilliant light of evolution, and then rapidly expanded and grew.

In the blink of an eye, a green skeletal ghost, whose size was not much smaller than the Hungry Skeleton opposite, appeared in the center of the battlefield.

"Yohohoho~"

A strange laugh, as if from the depths of the soul, suddenly resounded rhythmically throughout the entire world.

After evolving, Brook floated forward slowly and met the gaze of the Abyss Saint opposite him.

"In that case, your abilities will no longer pose a threat to me."

Brooke grinned.

Although this wasn't his complete Pokémon form, and he didn't even manage to "use Pokémon energy outside of his body," which Zoro repeatedly mentioned...

But this very basic Pokémonization makes Brook lose its weakness of being countered by Abyss!

That's right!

The direction of his evolution at this moment is a single ghost attribute evolution.

It abandoned its original ice attribute, which allowed it to unleash powerful combat abilities, and became a pure ghost-type creature!

This should have been a flawed, or rather, incomplete, Pokémonization.

But now Brook has completely broken free from the restraining power brought by the Abyss.

Because at this moment, he had no skeletal body at all!

Even in his ghost form, he could still be harmed by forces imbued with Armament Haki, which counters all evil and malevolent things...

But at the same time... it also opened up more possibilities for Brook!

"What kind of Devil Fruit power do you have!?"

Sensing that Brook no longer possessed the fresh, tender scent he had been hoping for, the Abyss Saint's skeletal mask revealed a hint of anger and confusion.

He was just an unknown nobody in the Straw Hat Pirates, but now he's unleashing abilities that even he finds astonishing...

A bad feeling suddenly arose in Saint Abis's heart.

But at that moment, Brooke continued to let out his own unique, melodious laughter.

"Yohohoho~"

"This isn't some kind of Devil Fruit ability..."

Swah——

A cold glint suddenly flashed in his eerie eyes.

Although he did not use the Ice-type Pokémon transformation, it does not mean that he has completely lost control of Ice-type energy.

However, in this form, the Ghost-type moves he uses are far more effective than those of other types!

"Um?!"

Saint Abyss, who had expected Brook to boast about the source of his immense strength like any other pirate on the high seas, was stunned for a moment when he heard Brook abruptly stop speaking.

It's not a Devil Fruit ability!?

What is that?!

Why don't you finish what you're saying?!

Abyss was furious.

But the next second, Brook, in his ghostly state, suddenly conjured a ghostly electric guitar out of thin air, and then a huge arm stretched out from the ghostly flames and suddenly started playing the guitar.

Buzz!

A deep, resonant sound instantly echoed throughout the entire island, conveying the power of music.

"Welcome to the world of the soul, young man!!!"

Brooke suddenly shouted.

The next moment, countless ghosts suddenly flew out of his body, like mischievous sprites, circling randomly in the sky for several times, before suddenly burrowing into the skeleton of Saint Abyss.

"What's this!?"

Upon seeing this, a look of vigilance flashed in Saint Abyss's eyes.

He quickly covered his entire body with Armament Haki.

In an instant, the originally withered skeletal behemoth turned into a pitch-black skeleton.

however……

Despite the influence of his domineering aura, many ghosts shattered instantly upon colliding with his body and vanished into thin air.

However, due to the sheer number of ghosts, quite a few eventually managed to enter the body of the Abyss Saint.

What Saint Abyss never expected was...

The ghost that had entered his body not only failed to bring him any positive effects, but seemed to...

It even brought him unexpected benefits!

Before Saint Abyss could figure out what was going on, a strange and powerful force suddenly appeared within his body.

"This...this is..."

Feeling the changes happening in his body, a look of astonishment appeared on his face again.

Although he didn't know what Brook had done, at that moment, he felt his soul was filled with power!

As a Devil Fruit user with the ability of the Hungry Skull, Abyss Saint appears to have a similar skeletal body to Brook, but in fact, he is a pure physical damage dealer.

The power of the Devil Fruit did not enhance his soul in any way.

But just now...

For the first time, Abyss Saint felt the power of his soul growing stronger!

He has a more meticulous ability to perceive things, more perfect control over his body, and even the Conqueror's Haki that he never thought he could replicate in an alternative way.

This power utterly captivated him.

At the same time, it made him even more puzzled.

Saint Abyss looked up, puzzled, at Brook, who was still playing strange music.

Even though he had encountered countless strange and unusual opponents after joining the Knights of God, this was the first time he had ever seen a fighting method that could increase the strength of one's enemies.

He wasn't naive enough to think it was Brooke's mistake.

Whether it was the expression on Brook's face, so absorbed in the music, or the feeling he had always given the Abyss, it all made him deeply aware...

It seemed that he had fallen into Brooke's trap.

At this moment, he had absolutely no idea how to deal with Brooke's offensive.

At the same time, Brooke's eyes flashed as the song ended.

Seeing that his Halloween trick had worked, he was overjoyed.

Not long after joining the Straw Hat Pirates, Brook realized a problem...

Without a physical body, it would be difficult for him to surpass his companions in areas such as Armament Haki, which require the strength of blood and physical body.

So he had been thinking about what his strengths were for a long time.

Although Red said that his Pokémon's ability was very powerful, even possessing the power to overcome great odds with small ones.

However, the triggering of the Wanderer's Soul ability is inherently a matter of probability, and the greater the difference in strength between him and his enemy, the lower the probability of the Wanderer's Soul ability being triggered...

It's clearly not a long-term solution to rely on Lady Luck's favor.

Good thing...

All of this came to a perfect conclusion after Brook successfully became a Pokémon!

Brook's incomplete Pokémon form, which is only Ghost-type, seems to be due to his lack of training, but it actually allowed him to break free from the limitations of his physical body and obtain a pure soul body!

This also made Brooke realize...

Since physical deficiencies are already difficult to overcome, why not just go with the flow and completely abandon physical strength, instead cultivating the soul power that is rarely seen even in the Straw Hat Pirates?

When Brook shared this idea with Red, who was a trainer, he received Red's strong support.

The Halloween move he just used was a Ghost-type move that Crimson specially created by consuming a large number of Poké Balls to capture Pumpkin Spirits and Pumpkin Monsters!

Halloween, Ghost attribute, Transmutation move.

The effect is to grant the target additional Ghost attribute for a short period of time!
