One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

In the blink of an eye, countless deep pits appeared on the already pieced-together ground, where sword energy had swept across.

Zoro and Hawkeye also separated in the process.

Zoro, who was biting on the Wado Ichimonji, relaxed his brows, his eyes flashing with a mixture of fighting spirit and joy.

It's gone up! It's gone up!

It really went up!

At this moment, Zoro could clearly feel that by understanding Hawkeye's sword style and intent, his comprehension of the Black Blade was becoming more and more adept.

This is a thrill that you can never experience in ordinary combat!

More importantly, this is different from the battle against Nasujuro Seiji not long ago.

This time, Zoro could sense that all three of his longswords were trending towards evolving into black swords.

Zoro, being a fellow top swordsman, could roughly guess the reason behind this.

Nasujuro Sei's black sword borrowed the characteristics of a demon sword. With endless killing intent and slaughter, it naturally evolved the first generation of the demon sword Kitetsu into a stronger black sword.

It could be said that there was some element of taking shortcuts involved.

Therefore, Zoro can only absorb the energy emitted by a cursed sword like the Sandai Kitetsu when fighting.

Hawkeye's situation is completely different.

His sword intent itself follows a minimalist style.

With the strongest sword intent and the strongest blade, unleash the strongest slash!

Therefore, when fighting him, Zoro could clearly feel the most primal and correct power of a swordsman.

This process inherently involves the transformation of a sword into a black blade.

Therefore, after absorbing and digesting it, it became Zoro's own path to the Black Blade.

Of course, these things are easier said than done.

There are probably no more than a handful of people in the whole world who can reach Zoro's level.

And only one or two people have the opportunity to spar with Hawkeye.

"Want to witness my greatest power!?"

After suppressing his joy, Zoro immediately responded to Hawkeye's provocation with a light laugh.

The next moment, the Pokémon energy within his body began to circulate wildly.

boom!!!

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Zoro's body, sweeping in all directions.

In the void, it sounded like a giant dragon roaring, causing the surrounding space to distort.

Swish!

Zoro struck a perfect pose, then a slight smile appeared on his lips:

"Watch closely! This is my strongest form!!!"

The moment he finished speaking, Zoro's eyes were suddenly covered by a destructive energy, and his body underwent a slight change.

But then!!!

"Ugh~!!!"

Hawkeye, who had been quietly waiting for Zoro to evolve, suddenly changed his expression and stumbled forward.

The next moment, Zoro's aura transformed into a raging hurricane, which suddenly hurtled towards Hawkeye.

For some reason, Hawkeye acted like an ordinary adult, offering no resistance whatsoever to Zoro's aura storm, and his black sword, Yoru, was directly severed from his hand.

He crashed into a mountain ridge behind him like a cannonball, creating spiderweb-like cracks in the ridge.

Immediately, a stream of crimson blood flowed from the corner of Hawkeye's mouth, and he pointed a finger at Zoro.

In the end, she could only manage a weak sob before suddenly losing consciousness.

"What's going on!?"

Zoro, who was preparing to fight seriously, suddenly froze, staring blankly at Mihawk, who had been knocked unconscious by his burst of energy, and was at a loss for what to do.

Subconsciously, he looked at Crimson, who was watching the battle from the sidelines.

What one could see was a completely bewildered expression on Chi Hong's face.

What happened?!

Even Crimson was taken aback when he saw Hawkeye lying on the ground.

Does this mean that the world of One Piece has also started to see a rise in staged accidents for extortion?!

After being dismissed from his position as a Shichibukai, Hawkeye Mihawk has started to focus on acting!

Even though he knew it was impossible, seeing the world's greatest swordsman collapse in front of them like this, even Akane couldn't figure out what was going on.

At that moment, Redfield, who was standing next to Crimson, frowned slightly.

“Um… Lord Crimson.”

Redfield, who had only been with the Straw Hat Pirates for less than an hour, seemed a little unaccustomed to his new role.

But at this moment, having experienced so much, he has come to accept his identity as a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Crimson, whose attention was focused on Hawkeye, didn't turn around, but just asked casually.

Redfield slowly raised his finger, pointing to the top of Hawkeye's head, and said:

"I've been wondering since the beginning... could you guys see the exclamation mark above Hawkeye's head!?"

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Crimson was taken aback again, then immediately turned his head and asked seriously:

"What exclamation mark?! Please explain in detail."

“Uh…” Redfield, who was also not quite clear about the situation, hesitated for a moment before describing everything he had seen.

"There's always been a strange yellow exclamation mark above Hawkeye's head."

"I thought it was some strange decoration or Devil Fruit ability of his, but I didn't ask out of politeness."

"But judging from your expressions, it seems that only I can see this..."

Why didn't you say so sooner!?

After hearing Redfield's description, Crimson immediately showed a speechless expression.

He immediately realized that the yellow exclamation mark in Redfield's mouth must have triggered Redfield's Pokémon ability!

Feature awareness allows you to receive special alerts before an abnormal event occurs.

Because this characteristic doesn't increase combat power, and unusual events that can affect the Straw Hat crew are rare, Red has never paid attention to it.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized the problem.

"Is that the Beasts Pirates!?"

Considering that Hawkeye had coexisted with the Beasts Pirates for a period of time before, Red immediately made a connection.

With his superhuman abilities, he can easily monitor Kaido and the others without them noticing.

At this moment, the four members of the Hundred Beasts group were secretly carrying out some activities around the island.

At first, Crimson didn't pay much attention.

But now it seems that Hawkeye's condition is mostly related to them.

In a flash of inspiration, Crimson took out two bottles of healing potions from her backpack and handed them to Chopper, who was standing next to her.

"Chopper, go check on Hawkeye and see what's wrong."

"Okay, okay." Chopper, who was also a little confused, took the healing medicine and quickly went to Hawkeye's side, fed him the two bottles of healing medicine, and then began to perform basic tests on Hawkeye.

After taking two bottles of healing medicine, Hawkeye, who had been coughing up blood, regained consciousness.

"You guys..." Hawkeye looked up in confusion, only to hear Chopper say with a serious expression:

"Don't move!"

The next moment, a pale pink light flashed in his eyes as he activated a Fairy-type move, quickly diagnosing Hawkeye's body.

Soon, Chopper showed a surprised expression.

"This...how is this possible?!"

At this moment, Crimson also quickly came over and asked Chopper about the situation.

It's not that he didn't value Redfield's perceptive abilities; the main reason is that his abilities only allow him to detect anomalies, but not predict their source, let alone devise solutions.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the fact that Redfield's perception ability detected the anomaly that occurred to Hawkeye is enough to show that this anomaly will affect the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chopper quickly finished his diagnosis, then shook his head with a strange expression and said:

"The problem is very serious!!!"

"His muscles are atrophying rapidly at an abnormal rate, and his internal organs are also suffering extensive damage, just like his muscles. Even the flow of blood is strange!"

"It's like... being cursed, my bodily functions are constantly declining."

"If this continues, and his condition cannot be controlled, he may have to stay like this until all the cells in his body die."

"That serious!?"

A look of doubt flashed in his crimson eyes, and he waved his hand, taking out several more bottles of good healing medicine, indicating to Chopper to feed them to Hawkeye.

After using several bottles of effective medicine, Hawkeye's injuries showed significant improvement.

After all, he was a powerhouse comparable to the Four Emperors. Although his body showed abnormalities, he wouldn't die so quickly, at least not within a few days.

The reason he just fainted was because his sudden weakness coincided with the terrifying aura that Zoro unleashed, catching Hawkeye off guard.

Upon hearing Chopper's explanation, Hawkeye's pale face suddenly flashed with disbelief.
