One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Although the powerful Conqueror's Haki failed to harm Law, it did slightly disrupt the rhythm of his attacks.

In an instant, Shanks gathered all his strength and swung his sword at the ground beneath his feet once more:

"Red Blade!!!"

sieve--

The swift slash, carrying unparalleled domineering power, crashed into the land of the underworld, instantly splitting open a huge gash that continued to spread outwards.

A cloud of dust billowed up, obscuring Shanks' figure.

Luo frowned: "Are you trying to hinder my attack by blocking my view?"

"You should know this won't work on me, right?"

Let's not even talk about how the user of the Op-Op Fruit has absolute control over the [Room] space.

The sheer amount of terrifying superhuman power Law possesses, amplified by the power of Pokémon, makes it impossible for him to lose sight of Shanks.

Although Law didn't think Shanks was unaware of this, he genuinely had no idea what Shanks was doing.

However, just as Law raised his demon sword to attack again, Shanks, hidden in the dust, let out a soft laugh:

"What a terrifying ability!"

"A powerful Devil Fruit, mysterious Pokémon moves, and formidable combat abilities..."

"To be honest, I have absolutely no idea how to beat you."

"So, I hope you won't mind me using a little trick~"

"What!?"

Luo was startled.

Although he didn't know what Shanks meant by "trick," his superpowers surged suddenly, and he became alert.

Just then, the earth of the underworld shook once again.

The sudden sound made Luo instinctively turn his attention to it, and then he noticed...

The slash Shanks had just unleashed did not disappear after creating the dust curtain; instead, it continued to fly towards the outer edge of the Underworld Island.

Along the way, the earth split open with a chasm-like fissure.

"Wait!? You mean you want to..."

Realizing something, Luo suddenly turned his gaze to Shanks in the dust.

But before he could finish speaking, the entire underworld shook again.

Immediately, with Luo's expression of "this is troublesome," the Underworld, which started from the battlefield, directly...

It cracked!!!

Chapter 522 The Final Winner

Although the foundation of Elbaf is the World Tree, the Underworld, which serves as the connection between Elbaf and the outside world, still has large areas of rock and soil structures.

In order to prevent the battle from causing too much damage to the World Tree, the giants chose an area that was entirely composed of rock and soil.

With a single swing of Shanks's sword, the entire area was severed from its roots.

The surging seawater immediately poured into the underworld through the chasm-like crack, and soon entered the battlefield area.

The crashing waves jolted the seawater into the air, creating a fine mist with a salty, damp smell.

The special factors contained in the seawater also spread throughout the entire space under the pervasive sea fog.

"So, you can't use your abilities so freely anymore, right?!"

Looking at the scene he had created, Shanks' lips suddenly curled up, and he pointed his sword at Law with a smile.

"Using seawater to limit my abilities, huh?"

Luo raised an eyebrow, his gaze following the river beneath him all the way to the sea, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"As expected of the man even Lord Crimson had to warn against, we really can't let our guard down."

Feeling the inexplicable obstruction in the [Room] space, a look of helplessness flashed across Luo's face.

While his ability won't lose its effect upon contact with seawater like Barto's barrier, it will still be hindered if the [Room] contains too many PYROBROIN factors.

Not only does it require more mental and physical exertion, but it also affects the response speed of activating abilities.

It can be said that this one move alone reduced his combat power by more than 30%.

This is the downside of having special abilities.

"However, if you think that sealing away Devil Fruit abilities will win this battle, you're seriously underestimating the power of Pokémon!!!"

Luo suddenly raised his head, the confusion on his face gone, replaced by an eerie pinkish-purple hue.

Swoosh!

To Shanks' astonishment, Law's figure vanished once again, reappearing directly behind him.

"K·Room·Poison Blade!!!"

Whoosh!

The longsword, radiating dark green lightning, thrust out again, charging straight towards Shanks.

Clang!

The familiar metallic sound resounded throughout the venue once again.

Shanks' eyes flashed, and he looked at Law with some shock: "I see. Even without the Devil Fruit power, you still have the Psychic-type teleportation technique?"

"How on earth did you guys manage to acquire so many strange and bizarre abilities?!"

"Haha~" Luo chuckled softly, "Sorry, even I can't answer this question."

"But I can assure you... that's definitely not all that will surprise you!"

As he spoke, another burst of superhuman power erupted from Luo's body.

"Power exchange!!!"

A simple, unadorned burst of superhuman power suddenly rushed towards Shanks.

If Bonney can use a move like that, how could Law not know it?

However, because Law's previous techniques were all geared towards Devil Fruit abilities, Shanks was unaware of these attacks due to habit.

Even if he took precautions, it might not be of any use.

"What!?" Shanks was shocked.

However, due to the two consecutive divine evasions, Shanks' Haki was greatly depleted, and he was unable to adjust his technique to resist the power exchange for a while.

A mysterious supernatural power suddenly enveloped his body, leaving an invisible energy ribbon between him and Law, connecting the two of them.

"Hoo~!"

The sudden surge of qi and blood made Luo Meng let out a cry of surprise. Feeling the power that suddenly appeared in his body, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Is this the power of the Four Emperors?! Now I understand why Bonney was laughing so happily just now!"

Swish!

With a flash of light, the Demon Blade Ghost Cry reverted to its normal form.

The next instant, Luo's figure flickered again.

This time, however, he did not choose to appear behind Shanks, but instead came directly in front of him, making eye contact with him.

"High-frequency surgical scalpel!!!"

Stab it!

The dazzling lightning once again focused on Luo's demon sword, radiating a brilliant azure light.

Luo held the knife in one hand and thrust it forward suddenly.

Clang!

As expected, Shanks once again anticipated Law's attack trajectory and raised his Griffin to counter it.

However, the next second...

Whoosh!

To everyone's astonishment, Shanks was suddenly sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the sea-covered ground below.

boom!!!

A huge pit suddenly appeared, but because the ground was too damp, it didn't raise any dust.

Instead, the seawater flowing in from the ocean was diverted and poured into the crater Shanks had created, engulfing it.

"How is this possible?!"

Seeing that Law had sent Shanks flying with a single blow, everyone in the world who was watching the battle was utterly shocked.

That's Shanks, the Red-Haired!

For more than a decade before the Straw Hat Pirates appeared, Shanks's fame was known throughout the world.

In the very short time after their appearance, their status rose rapidly, like a rocket, and in just a few years they went from a small pirate crew to one of the Four Emperors who were famous all over the world.

It can be said that Shanks' life was a legendary one.

Until he inexplicably lost an arm in the East Blue, people thought he and Whitebeard were the strongest contenders to become the next Pirate King.

Yet this legendary figure was easily defeated by a junior.

The audience couldn't figure out what was going on, and naturally didn't know what Pokémon move Law had just used.

So after seeing Law's performance, the strange thought that "Straw Hat crew = Yonko powerhouse" instantly flooded their minds.

"Shanks..."

Ben Beckman, who had retreated back into the giants' formation, looked at Shanks, who had been shot down, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes.

In just one day, they finally understood what it meant for the train of time to wait for no one.
