One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

He was eagerly anticipating the boosts and new moves the new badge would bring him.

"Leave it to me, First Mate!"

Zoro grinned, then suddenly bent down, placing one hand on the hilt of his great sword, Wado Ichimonji.

A sharp glint flashed across his eyes like lightning.

The next moment...

"One-Sword Style: Iaijutsu Kesazaki - Lion's Song!!!"

Swish!

The long sword is drawn!

Like a flash of lightning, the sharp sword energy suddenly sliced ​​through the trees in front of the dojo.

The slash, imbued with the unique power of the Pokémon world, was incredibly swift, instantly severing all the trees.

Broken branches and leaves fell from the sky like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden.

Upon seeing this, Crimson merely smiled calmly:

"Well done."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and headed towards the Leaf Dojo.

Behind him, Zoro sheathed his sword and, amidst a shower of fallen leaves, followed Scarlet's footsteps into the Vermilion Gym.

As the electric gate closed, a strangely shaped gym instantly appeared before the two of them.

Despite being a gym that primarily focuses on electric-type attacks, what catches the eye in the gym's lobby are rows of identical metal trash cans!

The only thing related to electricity...

It might be those two powerful electric currents that blocked the gym leader from passing by, preventing Red and the others from getting through!

At this moment, the man in overalls, who appeared in every dojo, reappeared and began introducing himself to Akane and Zoro:

"Having made it this far, it seems you've earned the right to challenge the Vermilion City Gym!"

"Then let me explain the [traps] inside the dojo to you!"

"Did you see the two electric currents in front of the curator?"

"You need to find the mechanism in the trash can inside the gym to disarm the two electric currents before you can take on the gym challenge!"

"Be careful!"

"The trainers inside the gym won't let you find the mechanism so easily!"

"Hey~ Does it have to be this realistic...?"

Looking at the overalls that had reverted to their NPC form, Crimson looked utterly helpless.

"Hiding a mechanism in a trash can? What kind of idiot came up with this idea?!"

When he played the game, he found the concept of trash outrageous. Now, seeing dozens of trash cans filled with garbage right in front of him, he simply couldn't accept it.

However, complaints aside...

Red eventually took Zoro and started searching through the trash cans one by one.

During this time, the two of them would occasionally encounter forced battles with gym trainers.

Because this is a gym that specializes in Electric-type Pokémon, every gym leader uses only Electric-type Pokémon, and all of them are level 22 or higher!

To be fair, as the Pokémon he encounters become increasingly powerful, even Zoro inevitably suffers some attacks during battles.

Although these attacks didn't cause him much damage, the paralysis effect from the various electric-type moves was quite annoying.

After circling around, when they finally found the two mechanisms of the electric device, Zoro's green hair was standing on end like a hedgehog, turning into an afro!

"puff……"

"Do...do you need to rest for a bit, Zoro?"

Almost bursting out laughing, Crimson quickly turned her gaze away, avoiding looking at Zoro's strange hairstyle.

"……Need not!"

"I just leveled up, and I feel great right now!!!"

Zoro gritted his teeth.

He maintained his three-sword style stance, staring intently at the dojo master Lt. Surge, as if trying to pierce through him with his gaze!

"I will definitely... chop up these bastards who use electricity!!!"

Chapter 60 Let's see who can't fly? (Please read on!)

"Zoro! One last hit! Finish it off!!!"

"Raichu! Hang in there! Use Thunder!"

Inside the Fallen Leaf Dojo.

Amid cheers from the audience, Crimson and Lt. Surge, the gym leader, simultaneously issued their commands in a booming voice!

Zoro and Raichu on the arena also reacted instantly.

Prior to this, Red and Zoro had successfully defeated the opponent's level 25 Magnemite and Thunderball, gaining nearly 400 experience points.

However, the opponent was no ordinary person either, and the electric type itself wasn't very friendly to Zoro's close-combat style...

As a result, Zoro was in a rather disheveled state, with several scars on his body from being electrocuted.

Even so, Zoro showed no signs of fatigue on his face; in fact, a few brilliant electric currents flickered in his sharp eyes.

"It'll be soon! It'll be soon!"

"If we could do it again..."

Zoro suddenly murmured.

He charged forward with his three-sword style like a wild beast, his blades aimed directly at the giant orange-skinned rat opposite him!

Just then, a burst of intense golden light suddenly surged from Raichu's body and shot towards the sky above the dojo.

next second!

Rumble...

Even though it was an indoor environment, a terrifying thunder suddenly rang out above the battle arena!

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a log, suddenly struck down, landing precisely on Zoro.

"Uh……"

Zoro, struck by lightning, inevitably let out a painful groan.

But in the blink of an eye, his expression suddenly turned extremely fierce.

On his path to becoming stronger, he is even more ruthless to himself than to his enemies!

Zoro's eyes glared angrily, his muscles tensed and bulged, as the terrifying power of lightning coursed across his body.

And just then...

An even more powerful aura surged within his body.

It's the Dragon-type Pokémon energy hidden within Zoro!

"That's right! That's exactly the feeling!"

In an instant!

A glint flashed in Zoro's eyes. While feeling the pain of the lightning raging inside his body, he stubbornly used his willpower to control the energy of his Dragon-type Pokémon to make contact with the lightning!

In fact, he had made countless attempts before this.

But it always ended in failure.

This time, perhaps it was due to accumulated experience, or perhaps Raichu's lightning was powerful enough...

Zoro finally succeeded in making the dragon-attribute energy feel the power of lightning.

Immediately afterwards, the powerful dragon attribute energy transformed into a greedy giant dragon, devouring and assimilating all the lightning power!

tread!

Their steps, which had been temporarily halted by the attack, surged forward again.

This time, however, Zoro emerged from the lightning with a sharp crackle of electricity.

The electric light spread from his arm and directly adhered to the blades of the three long swords.

The lightning on his body, however, flickered and shone even brighter.

A deep chanting voice rang out:

"Three-Sword Style - Dragon Blade - Thunder!!!"

Stab it! ! !

Zoro suddenly looked up, and his eyes, hidden in the shadows, suddenly turned into a terrifying crimson color, like a ferocious beast!

At this moment, his swordsmanship, which had reached the level of cutting through iron, had completely merged with Pokémon energy and released it in the form of lightning.

The body activated by lightning burst forth with astonishing speed comparable to a shave.

The sudden change caught even the dojo master, Lt. Surge, off guard.

Before he could even give the order...

Zoro, who had transformed into a fleeting shadow, had already arrived behind Raichu. He lowered his head slightly, maintained a crouching posture, and spread his twin blades like the wings of a giant dragon, flashing with gradually fading electric light.

So incredibly handsome!!!

And just then...

"Qiu~!!!"

Raichu on the field suddenly let out a painful cry.

As an Electro-type Pokémon, its body was being ravaged by lightning.
