One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Chapter 402 Spacetime Experiment (Seeking monthly votes~)

"Usopp has become this good?!"

Chopper, who had witnessed Usopp's complete takeover of the Milibella Palace, stood atop the clouds and immediately felt a deep sense of awe.

After all, they had just fought against the Milibela Palace not long ago and had a deep understanding of how powerful she was.

Especially now that the Milibella Palace has received the power bestowed by Im, it will inevitably be even more troublesome than before.

Even so...

This guy is still being held down on the ground by Usopp, unable to move.

Even Crimson, standing to the side, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Although some tricks were used, it would be difficult to succeed a second time once the intelligence was leaked..."

"But I have to say, it's really a miracle that Usopp could do this much."

"When are we going down, Red?" Luffy grinned, already rubbing his hands together in anticipation. "I just thought of a new move, and I really want to test it out on the Five Elders."

"Save your breath~ Didn't the previous Grimm's Blessing satisfy you enough?"

Red glanced at Luffy and the corpse preserved in the icy coffin behind him.

Ultimately, under the extreme torture inflicted by Mega Luffy, even the Yonko-level powerhouse Grimm couldn't withstand it and was exhausted to death in the Fairy Realm by countless Luffy clones with special techniques.

After confirming the death of Grin, Red and his crew immediately set off, taking Uta, who had already agreed to join the Straw Hat Pirates, and Gordon, who had also come along because he was worried about Uta, with them, and headed back home.

In fact.

Shortly after Zoro and his crew joined the battle, Red and his crew, who had also received the news, arrived over Casey Island.

However, seeing that their companions seemed to be very enthusiastic about fighting and that the situation had been brought under control and had not deteriorated further, they stood high in the air watching the show and did not go down.

"So, only powerful enemies can make them grow stronger so quickly!?"

After suppressing Luffy's passion with a few words, Akane turned his gaze back to the battlefield below.

Zoro's black sword, Sanji's Devil Fruit power awakening...

This is the scene that Crimson has always longed for.

However, in their daily cultivation, no matter how hard they worked, they still found it extremely difficult to progress in these two areas.

Three months is only enough time to catch a few initial signs.

But as their battle with the Five Elders intensified, Crimson discovered that both of them had made significant achievements in their respective paths.

Zoro's demon sword, Sandai Kitetsu, which has clearly become different, and Sanji's decreasing frequency of using healing medicine, both indicate that they are constantly evolving in this battle.

more importantly……

With the attribute panels for both of them, Crimson could clearly see that their experience points were rapidly increasing at a rate far exceeding that of their daily training.

"The Five Elders, who can never be killed, might be the most suitable training tools for the Straw Hat crew!"

Suddenly realizing something, the crimson figure's eyes flashed with a greedy golden light.

Looking down at the Five Elders, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lightly lick his lips.

Time passed slowly.

Half an hour later, the war gradually entered a heated phase.

Sanji's situation is relatively straightforward.

After all, apart from the invincible Saint Vochuli, the other two Five Elders had been kicked to death by Sanji countless times.

The towering wall of fire that reached into the sky was so high that even Itsumade, who had the ability to fly, found it difficult to cross.

However, the battle between Zoro and Nasujuro Sei, as the two top swordsmen finished warming up, saw their attacks become increasingly fierce.

The battle between the two was starting to get out of control and was spreading towards the interior of Kedi Island.

……

……

"Throughout the three thousand worlds, none can be without me!"

"Demon Aura - Nine-Sword Style - Dragon's Intent Annihilation Slash!!!"

"Frosty Abyss World - Ice Demon Flash!!!"

Aww~!

roar~~

A roaring three-headed dragon and an enraged frost demon appeared simultaneously in the sky directly above Casey Island.

The two forces were like advance troops from two different worlds, meeting above this island and engaging in a fierce battle to take over the real world.

The spreading dragon's might swept across the entire Casey Island and the surrounding seas with an intensity no less than Conqueror's Haki.

The icy aura unleashed by the Frost Demon transformed the entire port and the surrounding sea into an ice kingdom.

Furthermore, it differs from the natural ice found in Aokiji.

The frost released by Nasujiro Saint carries an eerie aura of the underworld, as if it possesses the ability to devour human souls.

Ordinary people who simply get close may be affected by the special abilities contained within this ice.

A terrifying dragon and a horrible demon wrestled each other high in the sky, neither willing to give an inch.

The two powerful strikes were about to unleash a terrifying shockwave upon colliding with each other.

If this disturbance were to spread, most of the towns on Casey Island would be affected.

However, seeing that the Sandai Kitetsu in his hand was gradually covered with a thin layer of black marks, Zoro, who was blinded by bloodlust, no longer cared about these things.

Since the townspeople had already evacuated the island with the help of the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates, he had no intention of protecting the empty city.

However, just as both of them began preparing their next attack...

The appearance of a voice startled everyone on Casey Island.

"Alright, that's enough!"

Swish!

A crimson figure suddenly appeared, and before the energy accumulated within the three-headed dragon and the frost demon could explode, he abruptly waved his hand, and a massive amount of supernatural power instantly formed a huge protective barrier.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand again, summoning a large interdimensional wormhole and sending the protective barrier directly into the wormhole.

The next second, a terrifying roar suddenly erupted from the distant sea, and the surging sound waves, like an angry tsunami, turned into a hurricane and swept across the entire Casey Island.

If such a horrific impact were to erupt on Casey Island, the entire island would likely be razed to the ground.

"It's you!!!"

Upon seeing the crimson figure, Nasujiro Sei cried out in alarm.

Zoro, who was in the heat of battle, instantly calmed down and, after a moment of astonishment, suddenly revealed a look of surprise.

"You're back, Crimson!?"

"Hmm~"

Red smiled and nodded, his gaze then falling on the Sandai Kitetsu in Zoro's hand.

"Not bad. In such a short time, you've already completed the initial black blade inlay."

"Ah...hehe...I have to thank my opponent today for this."

Seeing that Crimson had returned, Zoro, knowing that the situation was settled, responded with a light laugh.

Just as Zoro guessed, the cursed sword, or rather the Kitetsu, seems to have some kind of mysterious way of advancing.

Every time he suppresses Nasujuro Sei with a more powerful slash, the Sandai Kitetsu in his hand absorbs the energy from the Hajime Kitetsu...

It might be Armament Haki, or it might be something else entirely...

In short, after a series of battles, the Sandai Kitetsu in Zoro's hand became increasingly black, as if it were stained with a layer of thick ink.

And the blood-red knife marks became even more crimson.

This also proves...

Perhaps Zoro still has shortcomings in terms of overall combat strength.

However, in his understanding of swordsmanship, he has surpassed Nasujuro Sei, one of the Five Elders!

but……

That's all for today~

"If the fighting continues, the entire Casey Island will have to be rebuilt."

"not to mention……"

His crimson gaze shifted to the Milibella Palace, which was trapped by Usopp's paralyzing powder array, and he said earnestly:

"We shouldn't underestimate the adaptability of top-tier experts."

"It's unrealistic to think that you can permanently trap a top-tier expert with just paralysis powder."

"Speaking of which, could you tell me which of the Five Elders has personally visited the Pokémon Ocean today!?"

"I'm so sorry I couldn't treat you properly."

"It's the Milibella Palace."

Realizing that the battle could no longer continue, Nasujuro Sei unabashedly sheathed his sword and transformed back into human form, hovering in mid-air.

He even ignored Crimson's sarcastic tone and gave the correct answer.

The moment he saw the crimson color, he understood...

Lord Im's prediction was correct.

The commander of the Knights of God, whom they had placed so much hope in, is probably already in grave danger.

However, Lord Im did not expect that even with all five elders mobilized, they could only destroy one of the Straw Hat Pirates' major ports.

Even their town remained completely undamaged.

Who would have thought that the Straw Hat Pirates, with only the remaining crew members and without their captain and first mate present, managed to intercept all five elders?
