One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Considering the unresolved history between Shanks and the Straw Hat Pirates, they will inevitably gain the power of Pokémon in the future. Just how strong will they become then?

The Straw Hat crew watched in shock as Shanks attacked, but strangely, not a single one of them seemed concerned about Law's condition.

It was as if they knew from the beginning that Shanks' attack would have no effect on him.

Rumble rumble rumble...

The powerful divine force continued its raging roar, destroying everything in its path.

The giants of Elbaf showed expressions of surprise and delight, captivated by the power Shanks had displayed.

Just as they were expecting Law to be hit by Shanks's attack, Law suddenly let out a soft breath on the battlefield.

"Phew~ It seems I was overthinking it."

"What!?"

Although Luo spoke softly, Shanks still heard him.

Shanks' eyes widened in shock, but the next second, he saw Law's figure suddenly disappear from God's attack path.

Realizing something, Shanks turned around abruptly, only to see Law raising his demon sword, the sharp blade resting on his other arm as if aiming at him.

Luo's voice continued, "You're injured!? In your back!"

"Although you don't actually show it, your physical condition is obvious to me as a doctor."

"I was overthinking it before. I always thought that someone who could become one of the Four Emperors must be incredibly strong."

"It seems that the vanity of the last era is still inadvertently influencing my thinking."

"If this is all the attack you can do, then there's no need for me to keep probing you."

"It was just a test."

Shanks suddenly turned around, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

Even he couldn't accept being spoken to in such a serious tone by a junior!

But just as he was about to swing his knife to continue his attack, a strange flash suddenly shot out from his eyes.

This is Shanks' top-tier Observation Haki at work.

At the same time, a scene suddenly appeared in Shanks' mind.

It was a huge, long sword that seemed to pierce through the world.

And his own body was right in the path that the long sword had pierced through.

The slender blade didn't leave any bloodstains on his body, but instead continuously injected a strange toxin into it.

"not good!!!"

Images of the future flashed through my mind.

Shanks suddenly shouted.

The next moment, he subconsciously held the Griffin in front of him and infused it with his surging domineering aura.

Immediately he heard a soft shout from Luo not far away:

"K·ROOM·Venom!!!"

Whoosh! ! !

A streak of dark green lightning flashed before Luo's eyes, and his demon sword, Oni-Ku, was instantly infused with a mysterious energy. In the blink of an eye, before anyone could react...

The demonic sword, Ghost Cry, suddenly extended and pierced towards Shanks' body. Strange purple patterns shimmered on its blade, emanating an ominous aura.

Upon closer inspection, one will discover that it is not actually a strange problem, but rather something flowing within the blade...

Highly toxic liquid!!

Clang!

A crisp and resounding metallic clang echoed through the space like the grandest of bells.

"Ok?"

Luo Wei raised her head slightly, looking at the long sword that had been blocked by the domineering aura in the distance, her eyes flashing.

"Is it Observation Haki that allows you to foresee the future? It's not as simple as I thought."

With a soft sigh, Law immediately sheathed the demon sword that had been modified by the Op-Op Fruit's power.

He had no intention of engaging in any contest of strength with Shanks.

If the first strike misses, then withdraw immediately.

Anyway, he has more opportunities to attack than just this one.

Swish!

Law's figure suddenly vanished, appearing directly behind Shanks.

Behind Law, Shanks's divine evasion slash was still wreaking havoc.

Koro's eyes narrowed again, and he quickly activated his Devil Fruit ability.

Clang!

Another crisp sound echoed in all directions.

As expected, Shanks anticipated Law's sneak attack and took defensive action.

Koro, however, seemed unwilling to give up, and his figure flashed rapidly around Shanks.

Each time it flashes, it leaves a long, narrow arc of electricity in the air, accompanied by a crisp sound as it collides with the blade in Shanks' hand.

Griffin, with his Haki covering him, can nullify Law's Devil Fruit ability, so even in the [Room] space, Law cannot take away the long sword in his hand.

Similarly, the demon sword Kiku, enhanced by the awakened power of the Op-Op Fruit, was also unable to penetrate Griffin, which was covered in Haki, and directly attack Shanks' body.

And so, the two began to play percussion instruments in the air.

The two can be said to be starting from the same point.

Predicting the future consumes mental energy, while awakening Devil Fruit abilities consumes physical energy.

Law was waiting for Shanks' Observation Haki to fail, while Shanks was waiting for Law to run out of energy.

For a time, the battlefield was locked in a stalemate.

Of course, this is only what viewers watching the live stream on their screens think.

In fact, as Law launched more and more attacks, Shanks' expression became increasingly serious.

"It seems you've already realized that."

At that moment, Law suddenly spoke up, asking Shanks with a smile.

Although he changed position two or three times almost every second to avoid being caught by Shanks, his words still clearly reached Shanks' ears.

"Is this also the power of Pokémon!?"

Shanks did not deny it, but instead asked a question while defending against Law's attack.

From the very beginning, he had already realized that something was wrong.

Although he can still clearly predict the direction of Law's attack, Shanks can clearly sense that the interval between his predictions is getting shorter and shorter.

This is clearly an abnormal phenomenon.

Luo Dafang responded: "That's right!"

"I heard you're a high-level player in the Pokémon world and have already qualified for the Indigo League..."

"Then you should be familiar with the name and effect of this move."

"Illusion Beam, a very common move in the Psychic type."

"Illusionary Ray!?"

Shanks' eyes flashed.

Psychic Beam, a special Psychic-type move, does no damage but has a certain probability of confusing the target's consciousness.

Shanks is indeed familiar with this move.

As Law said, this is a move that almost every Psychic-type Pokémon has the opportunity to learn.

As a top trainer, he has many Pokémon that can use this move.

Suddenly, Shanks' eyes widened as he looked at the blade charging toward him once more.

He immediately realized something: "You've combined the Illusion Ray and the Flash of Devil Fruit power together!?"

"As expected of one of the former Four Emperors, his vision is indeed extraordinary."

Luo smiled and praised Shanks.

Shanks was right. From the third attack onwards, he realized that competing with Shanks in terms of endurance was not a long-term solution.

Moreover, with so many other methods at his disposal, why would he need to compete in endurance with a strong opponent known for his stamina?

So Law used a clever trick, mixing a non-attacking illusion beam attack with the gamma rays released when the Op-Op Fruit power was activated, and launched them at Shanks together.

Because gamma rays are different from light in the natural environment, Shanks did not notice them at all in a short period of time.

While Haki can defend against all attacks and effects from Devil Fruit abilities, it cannot resist the power of Pokémon moves.

In reality, Psychic Beam is not a purely probability-based move like in Pokémon games, but rather a cumulative move.

The stronger the opponent's mental strength and willpower, the stronger their resistance to the illusionary light, and the longer they need to be exposed to it.

The longer the exposure time, the more severe the effects, until eventually losing one's mind.

After countless confrontations, even Shanks's spirit was finally affected.

"No! We can't continue like this!"

Shanks never imagined that he would be at a disadvantage in a 1v1 battle.

Even when he was confronting the other Four Emperors pirate crews back then, he never felt the pressure he felt today.

Peng! ! !

Taking advantage of Law's momentary dodge, Shanks unleashed another burst of violent Conqueror's Haki, sweeping out like a storm and spreading outwards from him.
