One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

In contrast to these clueless individuals, some beings with astonishing Observation Haki were able to clearly see what was happening inside the shadows.

That's precisely why their expressions were even more shocked.

Moria...when did he become so powerful?!

Shanks and Ben Beckman exchanged a quick glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Having seen the world, they could clearly sense that with Moria's current fighting strength, even if Shanks himself were to fight, he might not gain much of an advantage.

This also reminded Shanks and the others of the joke they made on the Red Voss earlier...

Among Luffy's crew, is there really anyone who could defeat him, a former Yonko?

Really? Really?

Could it really be that outrageous?!

The two slowly withdrew their gaze and turned their heads.

Although Shanks also felt that finding someone among the Straw Hat Grand Fleet who could defeat him was unrealistic...

But since the start of the war, haven't the Straw Hat crew already shown enough miracles?

Within the shadow realm, Moria raised his fist, looking at Loki's body lying on the ground below the crater, a proud smile appearing on his lips.

Just as he was gathering the Pokémon energy within his body, preparing to deliver the final blow to Loki and end the battle once and for all...

Loki on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, his scarlet eyes flashing with endless fire and light. A powerful mental shock suddenly rushed towards Moria, causing Moria, who was completely unprepared, to be momentarily distracted.

When he came to his senses, Loki's body had already leaped out of the pit and landed far away from Moria.

"interesting!"

Moria, having regained consciousness, slowly raised his head and gazed in the direction where Loki was.

"You even have mental attack capabilities? It seems your Devil Fruit ability is indeed quite powerful!"

Moria highly praised Loki's Devil Fruit ability.

Just like his previous situation, mental strength has always been a relatively advanced ability in the world of One Piece.

It can influence not only the strength of will and the development of Devil Fruits, but also has a direct impact on the three types of Haki.

A person with strong mental strength is not necessarily a strong person, but a strong person will definitely have extremely strong mental strength!

Therefore, the mental impact Loki displayed was a complete dimensional reduction attack in the pirate world where physical strength is the mainstream fighting method.

No wonder he committed such a heinous crime as patricide for the power of this fruit!

However, what Moria didn't know was that while he was shocked by Loki's Devil Fruit ability, Loki, who was fleeing into the distance, was also staring wide-eyed in shock.

It should be noted that even Shanks was held captive for several seconds by his fierce gaze, and he seized the opportunity to inflict significant injuries on Shanks.

In the end, if Shanks' strength hadn't been so much greater than his, he might have been able to defeat a Yonko-level powerhouse with just his fierce gaze!

but……

His proudest technique had only managed to momentarily freeze Moria's mind...

Could it be that Moria's mental strength far surpasses that of Shanks, one of the Four Emperors?

Little did Loki know that the upgrade to the Pokémon template greatly improved Moria's weakest point: mental strength.

If it weren't for the fact that he had absorbed too many shadows, which took up some of his energy, he might have completely ignored Loki's menacing gaze!

"hateful!!!"

Loki gritted his teeth in anger.

The next second, his body suddenly bent over, landing on all fours.

Having already transformed into a werewolf, his body swelled up again, and his clothes disappeared in an instant.

"Aww!!!"

A faint, wary growl came from his gaping maw, and he transformed into a giant wolf, his menacing eyes flashing as he stared at Moria opposite him.

"Oh? So you're finally planning to use your beast form?"

Seeing Loki surrounded by black flames, Moria's eyes narrowed slightly, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

As he expected, Loki was indeed hiding something.

Moria could sense that the black flames enveloping him were not the same fire abilities he had previously unleashed...

That's the special effect he achieved after awakening his Zoan-type Devil Fruit power!

Generally speaking, the more powerful a Devil Fruit ability is, the harder it is to awaken.

The Fenrir Fruit, which holds an extremely high position among Mythical Zoan types, is second only to Luffy's Nika Fruit in terms of awakening difficulty!

Loki, truly a genius prince of Elbaf!

Had it not been for his dangerous personality and behavior, Elbaf might have been able to restore the glory and splendor of his ancestors under his leadership!

Unfortunately……

Ultimately, it remains unclear whether Loki was cursed or whether the curse affected him...

In short, it's impossible for him to go back now!

"He's quite a character!" Moria, who originally intended to use the power of shadow within him to unleash a massive shadow sphere for a quick victory, suddenly changed his mind at this moment!

Recruiting someone like that into your pirate crew... no, that's a bit unrealistic...

However, if they could be recruited into the Straw Hat crew, I'm sure Red-skinned would be very happy!

Such a genius, combined with the power of Pokémon...

"I can't believe it!"

A greedy glint flashed in Moria's eyes, and he couldn't help but lick his lips lightly, just like Loki.

After entering his beast form, Loki's bestial nature seemed to intensify, and his bloodshot eyes appeared to have lost all reason.

He wasn't particularly bright to begin with, and at that moment he completely surrendered his body to instinct.

His only enemy was this enormous monster right in front of him!

"Ow!!!"

Legend has it that when the giant wolf Fenrir suddenly let out an angry roar, all the giant animals in the underworld seemed to feel an instinctive fear, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground, offering their loyalty and respect to the only king of this region.

Whoosh! ! !

In the shadows, the already ravaged earth erupted once more with a deafening roar.

Loki, in his Fenrir form, leaped upwards, breaking through Moria's shadow domain and arriving at the very top of the Underworld, the bottom of the mortal realm!

The next second, Loki flipped over, his limbs landing on the ceiling of the Underworld, his bulging muscles erupting once more.

boom!!!

It was as deafening as countless cannonballs roaring at the same time.

The massive impact caused the entire Yang Realm to tilt slightly, causing the giants living above it to shudder violently, with many falling to the ground.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Loki and Moria who are currently fighting.

Because at this moment, their gaze and attention were completely focused on each other.

boom!!!!

The giant wolf in mid-air opened its abyssal maw, exuding a thick, bloody aura. Its two sharp claws gleamed coldly, and the pitch-black flames around it were like spears, pointing directly at Moria's limbs.

At this moment, Loki unleashed his strongest form and power, attempting to fight Moria to the death.

But Moria simply grinned when faced with Loki's full power.

"Did you think changing your form would make you stronger!?"

"Your ideas are utterly ridiculous in the face of Pokémon's power!!!"

One trick is all you need to succeed.

Moria unleashed another powerful mental surge, charging towards Loki.

It was the very same bad territory he had just used.

Loki simply mistook it for Moria's special Conqueror's Haki, so he never paid any attention to it.

Only at this moment did Loki, in his divine beast form, realize...

As this special Conqueror's Haki appeared, a transparent barrier also appeared in front of Moria, greatly weakening his attack.

Moreover, the reduction rate is astonishing, meaning that no matter how powerful one unleashes, as long as one doesn't cross this barrier, it will all become a meaningless attack for Moria!?

Is this... such an unsolvable power really something that should exist in this world?!

A glimmer of clarity returned to Loki's eyes, only to be replaced by a deep look of confusion.

boom!!!

Loki's claws struck Moria's body once more.

Even after being weakened by the effects of the Bad Domain, its terrifying power still pierced through Moria's Armament Haki defense, leaving several obvious bloodstains on his body.

but……

That's all!

"This can even pierce my Armament Haki?"

"Loki, you're far too dangerous!!!"

A flicker of surprise crossed Moria’s eyes, but his hands did not stop moving in the slightest.

Vast ghostly energy gathered in his hand, instantly transforming into something resembling a black sun. Even in this dark, lightless realm, it still emitted energy ripples that could not be ignored.

"Darkness—Explosion!!!"

Chapter 513 Recruiting Loki

Boom!

The surging evil energy exploded violently, the impact engulfing Loki's body. The sound was so powerful that even those outside the shadows could hear it clearly.
