One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

At this moment, even the members of the Barto Club couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment, fearing that the terrifying shells would fall on them.

Wald truly lives up to his reputation as a dangerous figure listed by the World Government.

With this skill alone, his threat to the world is comparable to that of the Four Emperors.

However, even at this critical moment, after evolving, Barto's pitch-black eyes still showed no emotional fluctuations.

Facing the massive cannonball that was about to fall, he simply spoke:

"Naughty Realm!"

wow~

A completely different, intense spiritual aura, unlike Conqueror's Haki, suddenly erupted from Barto's body.

A cold, oppressive atmosphere suddenly enveloped the world, casting an eerie shadow over it.

Bad Zone, a signature Dark-type move from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

The effect is to unleash an evil aura that damages enemies and creates a barrier field. The barrier's effect is the same as the Reflect Wall move, possessing the ability to resist physical impact.

A surge of malevolent energy erupted forth.

After evolving, Bartolomeo seemed to possess boundless energy.

The already formed reflective barrier expanded rapidly under Barto's full power.

An evil aura swept past the giant cannonball, and although it failed to repel it, it did significantly slow down its impact.

Taking advantage of this gap in space, the reflective barrier expanded rapidly, managing to catch the several huge shells.

however……

"How naive!"

Seeing that Barto had somehow managed to temporarily stabilize the impact of the shell, Wald grinned widely and sneered wildly:

"I threw a cannonball, not an ordinary iron ball!!!"

as predicted.

The moment Waldwa New Street landed, the artillery fire piled up outside the reflective barrier exploded with a deafening roar.

Boom!

The sound, like the roar of gods and demons, transformed into an invisible shockwave that reverberated in all directions across the sea.

In an instant, terrifying flames illuminated the entire sky, as if a fire demon had descended upon this place, eroding the land and turning it into a world of fire.

Wald's eyes reflected the raging flames, and his expression grew increasingly crazed.

As he watched the shockwave from the explosion surge into the reflective barrier just as he expected, the smile on his lips seemed to tear his entire face apart.

Although he didn't know that the Bad Domain that Barto had just used could only resist some physical attacks and had no ability to resist the high heat generated by the explosion.

But what he saw before him was exactly the effect he wanted to see.

"Hahaha..."

"So what if he's an important figure in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet!?"

"You're not the Straw Hat Pirates! How dare you challenge me, World, all by yourself? How ignorant and laughable!"

Wald shook his head slightly, mocking the enemy's weakness like a victor.

Standing on the deck of the World Pirates' ship, he crossed his arms and arrogantly looked at everything engulfed in flames.

The impact of the explosion caused the entire sea surface to rise and fall violently, like a roller coaster.

The ships carried on the sea surface also rocked violently, rising and falling with the tide.

However, the members of the veteran pirate crew, the World Pirates, were not affected in any way.

Instead, their eyes flickered as they stared intently at the enormous flames before them, lost in thought.

Although after defeating Barto and his pirate crew, they will inevitably be blacklisted by the Straw Hat Pirates.

But this battle also proved just how terrifying Wald's strength was!

It has to be said that Wald's strength has increased many times over with the new heavy artillery!

After all, his Devil Fruit ability multiplies the original properties of an object. The stronger the object's basic properties, the more amazing the final effect it will produce.

They have only just modified the first batch of heavy artillery. Once they invent artillery capable of firing faster and larger shells, the whole world will tremble in Wald's hands!

With such a record and strength, they might be able to quickly build up a powerful force.

In the future, they might even be able to rival the Straw Hat Pirates!

Dreaming is something every pirate experiences.

Or rather, it was precisely because they dared to dream that they had the courage to set sail and become pirates.

Gazing at the flames that had turned the entire sea red, their hearts began to revel in boundless joy.

however……

The daydream of the Wald Pirates members hadn't lasted long when a sudden gust of wind, seemingly out of nowhere, swept across the sea.

This is nothing new in the ever-changing weather of the new world.

However, under the force of the strong winds, the dust from the burning shells, which acted as accelerants, was scattered further out to sea.

As the sea of ​​fire and smoke slowly dissipated, the entire Wald Pirates crew were suddenly stunned into silence.

"No! This is impossible!!!"

The one whose expression changed most noticeably was naturally Wald, who had just been so arrogant and overbearing.

His eyes were filled with a deep red bloodshot as he stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

Amidst the blazing flames, the Forward Luffy Senpai, topped with a double-layered protective barrier, slowly emerged from the chaotic sea, closing the distance between the two ships that had just been pulled apart by the turbulent currents.

On the bizarre and comical bow of the Luffy ship, that silly smile seemed to mock Wald's overestimation of his abilities.

"idiot!"

Although after becoming a Pokémon, Buto's aura became even more imposing, to the point that he no longer resembled his former villainous self.

However, his every move and word remained unchanged despite the change in his appearance.

Do you think you're the only smart person in the world?!

Barto grinned, stuck out his tongue, and laughed mockingly:

"Even an idiot like you can figure this out, do you think the Straw Hat Pirates, with their many exceptionally talented seniors, wouldn't know it!?"

"Lord Crimson talked to me about this a long time ago! The fatal flaw of my Barrier-Barrier Fruit!"

"That's why I've spent so much time painstakingly studying this one secret technique in the 'bad boy' field!"

"Hard work pays off. Through my relentless efforts, Bad Domain not only allowed me to become a Dark-type Pokémon, but its range of moves even surpassed the power of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit!"

"That is precisely why I can use the power of the Bad Domain to summon a reflective barrier that can cover my barrier."

"You must be very curious about how I was able to use my Devil Fruit powers even amidst a sea of ​​water, right!?"

In an instant, their identities were switched.

Barto stepped onto the ship's railing and arrogantly shouted at the approaching World Pirates:

"That's because... the Bad Zone possesses the power to resist everything in the material world!!!"

"And the seawater that can destroy the barrier is also part of the material world!"

"Hehehehehehe..."

Barto's laughter, as if possessing some kind of magic, spread throughout the entire sea and also entered the hearts of all the World Pirates, like a heavy hammer, slamming hard into their fragile souls.

"impossible!"

Completely unable to understand what Barto was saying, Wald gripped the ship's railing tightly, tearing the wooden railing to pieces.

Although he didn't understand what the Bad Bad Domain was, as he looked at the Forward Luffy Senpai, which was covered by a double barrier and was sailing towards them, a very bad thought suddenly welled up in his mind.

"wrong!"

Suddenly realizing something, Wald shouted:

"Hurry!!! Raise the sails!!!"

"Turn the boat around!!! They're coming at us!!!"

"What!?"

The members of the Wald Pirates, who were still in a daze, suddenly changed their expressions. Seeing the ridiculous ship that showed no signs of slowing down, the group of people immediately began to frantically steer the ship.

Before the sails of the Wald pirate ship could be adjusted, Barto's piercing laughter reached their ears from a distance.

"Hey hahaha~ It's too late!!!"

"Right now, I am invincible on the high seas!!!"

Swish! ! !

The dark green transparent barrier, which was originally protected within the reflective barrier, suddenly changed, forming a huge, sharp spear that pierced into the hull of the Wald Pirates' ship.

The massive spear pierced a huge hole in Wald's pirate ship.

Then, after penetrating to a certain extent, Wald's pirate ship encountered Barto's reflective barrier again, as if hitting a jelly layer, and suddenly retreated, once again widening the distance between itself and the advancing Luffy-senpai.

At the same time, it also caused Barto's spear to be dragged off the hull, leaving only a widened hole from which strange things were constantly spewed out as the ship rocked.

"Captain! Something terrible has happened! Our ship has a huge hole in it, and all our supplies have fallen out!"

"Damn it!!!"

Wald clenched his fist, but when he saw Barto's side laughing and gesturing for him to attack again, he could only continue shouting for his men to maneuver the ship quickly.

however……

How could the pirate ship owned by a mere pirate who had been released from prison for two and a half years possibly compare to the pirate ship that had been specially modified by the Straw Hat Research Corps!

A moment later, the Forward Luffy Senpai, now imbued with the Barrier Spear, crashed into us again.

For the next period of time, the entire World Pirates experienced the darkest moment of their lives.

If the disintegration of the World Pirates 32 years ago made them feel despair...
