One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Saint Abis was startled by his own guess.

He's always been the one eating other people's bones, who would have thought one day...

I can't believe I've encountered an opponent who eats other people's souls!?

But Brook on the other side clearly didn't intend to give him much time to react. His entire soul transformed into a burning flame once again and then disappeared from the spot.

Upon seeing this, Saint Abyss's already white, skeletal face turned even paler.

In fact, his guess was correct!

What Brook just swallowed was indeed his soul power.

However, his worries were somewhat unnecessary.

This is because the soul power was not permanently separated from him, but only temporarily resided in Brook's body.

After all, the effect of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) only allows Brook to communicate with the underworld, but it does not allow him to become the underworld itself.

The reason why the Abyss Church has such fear is entirely due to Brook's deliberate actions.

Shadow Steal has a similar effect to the previous Shadow Strike; both allow you to sneak into the enemy's shadow and launch an attack.

However, compared to the increased power and armor-piercing effect of Shadow Strike, Shadow Steal deals much less damage to enemies.

What can replace it is...

But it is a peculiar ability that comes with Shadow Thief!

[Steal the soul power of others, absorb it briefly, and amplify your own soul power].

This is a description of the effects of the Shadow Steal move.

The power of the soul has many uses; it can enhance control over the body, strengthen perception, and resist mental impacts such as aura and pressure.

It can be said that the power of the soul is a very comprehensive ability.

Therefore, Brook successfully gained a comprehensive boost after the theft.

Unfortunately……

This move can only be used once on the same target.

Even if used again after a successful use, it will only cause minor damage to the enemy and will no longer be able to plunder soul power.

Otherwise, Brook could have hollowed out the body of the Abyss Saint just by using the Shadow Stealing effect.

It doesn't matter.

The stronger the enemy, the more soul power he can steal.

Now, his strength has been greatly enhanced again after becoming a Pokémon.

A glint of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

Brook mimicked the previous Abyss Saint, making a greedy swallowing motion, and then whispered:

"The banquet is about to begin!"

"Enjoy it to the fullest, Celestial Dragons."

"You...you stay away!!!"

Seeing Brook approaching him again, Abyss Saint completely lost the will to continue fighting.

He stumbled backward, his hands, which had been gripping the sickle, began to tremble uncontrollably.

However, given the circumstances, Brooke would not listen to his words.

The flames of his soul erupted from his body once more.

It's the same method, the same scenario.

When the raging flames disappeared again, Brook's figure, unsurprisingly, vanished from the Abyss Saint's sight once more.

"Where!?"

Like a startled fawn, the massive skeletal body of Saint Abyss leaped suddenly, as if trying to escape its own shadow.

Just then, a sudden gust of wind appeared above his head.

This time, Brook didn't use any Pokémon moves; instead, he used the simplest method: leaping directly into the air.

Unfortunately, Saint Abis, who had already developed a stress response, was completely unaware of this.

By the time Brook's offensive was fully in place, it was too late for him to realize it!

"Shadow Bone, Soul-Slaying Sword, Wine Cup Dance, Chain Attack!!!"

rustling sounds...

In mid-air.

Brook, who had just descended from the sky, suddenly unleashed a surge of ghost-type energy, which quickly coiled around the longsword he had condensed with soul flames.

In an instant, a skeleton appeared inside the Soul-Slaying Sword, which had previously been without any physical form, making the Soul-Slaying Sword in Brook's hand even sharper and harder.

Clang!

The bone blade, wreathed in soul flames, fell sharply, meeting the Abyss Saint's raised head squarely in the center of his forehead.

The next moment, Brooke's body seemed to be fixed in mid-air.

The sharp blade in his hand moved wildly back and forth like raindrops, yet all of them converged on one point, striking the head of Saint Abyss.

Click...click...

However, in the blink of an eye, a noticeable crack appeared on the skeleton of Saint Abyss, which had been strengthened countless times by the power of the Hungry Skull Fruit.

For the first time, the Abyss Saint's most prized, hard skeletal body has been broken head-on!

This was a devastating blow to the Abyss.

But before the fear in his heart could fully surge out, the intense pain caused him to let out another shrill scream.

The absence of flesh and blood does not mean the absence of pain.

After transforming into the skeletal form of the Hungry Skull, the Abyss Saint's bones became everything to him.

Just like the user of the Island-Island Fruit who can transform into an island, every attack that lands on his bones is an attack on him personally.

"what!!!!"

Saint Abis screamed again.

But Brook seemed to be enjoying the moment, his sword flashing incessantly without any intention of stopping.

Shadow Bone is a physical attack move whose power is even slightly lower than the previous Shadow Steal.

But when this seemingly ordinary attack is combined with Brook's swordsmanship...

Everything, however, became unbelievable.

Brook's swordsmanship, while lacking in high damage output, is far inferior to Zoro's or even many other swordsmen on the sea.

But one thing is...

Brook's sword is incredibly fast!!!

It was precisely by utilizing his swordsmanship skills that Crimson specially crafted the move Shadow Bone for him.

Simply because the side effect of Shadow Bone is...

It has a certain probability of reducing the opponent's defense!

Red once tested this move with Brook.

The probability of Shadow Bone having additional effects is not low, and its reduction in the enemy's defense is quite significant.

And such a move, combined with Brook's extremely fast swordsmanship...

It's entirely possible to break the opponent's defenses in a short time and then unleash all your attacks on them!

shuh...

Seeing the giant scythe about to swing at him, Brook didn't want to fight any longer. He used the recoil from the Soul Reaper to leap into the air and escape the attack.

At this moment, the Abyss Saint in front of Brook had completely become a shrimp soldier and crab general who had lost part of his soul power, whose body had become sluggish, and who had been attacked continuously by the Shadow Bone, whose defense had been reduced to almost zero, and who had to suffer double damage.

"That's why I said..."

"I told you not to be so happy too soon..."

Brooke's eerie voice rang out again, echoing across this land of death.

Chapter 388 The Trainer's Battle Style (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

"Fishman Karate - 10,000-Tile Straight Punch - Exploding Water Cannon!!!"

On the vast lake, Jinbe, who was standing steadily on the water using the Moonwalk technique, suddenly threw a punch straight in front of him.

In an instant, a huge water ball suddenly swept up from the wind of his fist, instantly transforming into a rotating vortex that shot forward like a cannonball.

Peng! ! !

As a torrential downpour of water swept up, a dark green figure shot out like a meteor and crashed into an open space by the lake, creating a huge crater in the ground.

The trickling lake water flows into the pit, further expanding the size of this artificial lake.

"Damn it! How do you have such power!?"

"This doesn't match the intelligence!!!"

Amidst the flowing water, Baal, transformed into a kappa, suddenly burst out of the water, his body covered in various wounds, and his face showing an expression of disbelief.

Something is wrong!

Nine out of ten things are wrong!

Why... does a Shichibukai possess strength that completely overwhelms me?!

Baal considered himself not to be a particularly strong member of the Knights of God, but he was still a user of a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit...

In terms of daily combat strength, he is at least at the level of a Marine Admiral candidate, which is roughly equivalent to being slightly weaker than a top-tier Yonko commander among pirates.

but……
