Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

In the dilapidated ruins, the flickering flames cast a faint light on Zoro's body, casting a long and narrow shadow on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a Zoro who looked more mature than a 19-year-old appeared in front of Shiryu.

Then the figure suddenly turned.

In an instant, a sharp cold light drew a standard circular arc in the air and hit the flying Xilu.

boom! ! !

A huge cloud of dust suddenly rose up, covering the ruins.

The next second, a figure shot out from the smoke, slammed heavily into the wooden house next to it, and ran through several streets in a row!

And this figure was none other than the top swordsman who was attacking Zoro - Shiryu of the Rain.

“…How, how is this possible!?”

Xiliu, who was not injured, quickly stood up from the ruins, but he had a shocked expression on his face and looked forward in disbelief.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared from the thick dust.

Sharp dragon horns, huge angular wings and a long, powerful tail!

Xilu was not unfamiliar with this figure.

After all, the giant dragon that Zoro condensed before looked like this!

However, compared to the figure of the giant dragon, this dragon-shaped figure is only two meters tall, but it is more solid than the previous phantom.

tread!

Soon, the figure slowly walked out of the smoke and dust.

It turned out to be Zoro who had completed some mysterious evolution!

Although he still had a human body at this time, many characteristics of the Pokémon dragon clan had grown on his body.

Above Zoro's head, the sharp, pitch-black dragon horns with a metallic luster flickered slightly, as if mysterious energy was gathering in them.

An extremely hard metal dragon scale grew from his chest, extending all the way to the lower part of his cheek, protecting his fragile neck and helping Zoro eliminate a major weakness.

In addition, a piece of scale armor also grew on Zoro's wrist. After wrapping around his hands, it magically extended to the hilts of Sora Aoi and the Sandaime Kitetsu, firmly fixing them.

The Wado Ichimonji, which has unique meaning to Zoro, has changed as Zoro evolves.

The sword, which originally exuded a clean and holy aura, became slightly stronger as Zoro's body grew in size.

And on the hilt of the sword, there is a crescent-shaped dragon tail hook of the same color as the hilt, which hangs the sword in Zoro's mouth.

No matter how much he spoke, the Wado Ichimonji would not fall.

But apart from this, there were no other obvious changes in Zoro.

"What kind of ability is this!?"

Looking at Zoro's strange figure that was neither dragon nor human, the doubt in Shiryu's eyes became even more intense.

more importantly……

He actually felt a faint sense of oppression from Zoro at this moment!

This is definitely not the influence of the Conqueror's Haki, nor is it simply the mental suppression caused to Shiryu by the oppressive nature.

This feeling is more like the fear that comes from biological instinct!

just like……

At this time, Sauron had completed the species leap and became a higher creature that he could hardly look directly at.

"What exactly is going on!?"

Xilu asked a question in his heart, but no one could answer it.

Zoro, who had completed the mysterious evolution, swung his dragon tail, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Immediately he assumed the Three Swords Style stance once again, and a brilliant electric current began to glow from his body.

"Then... the real battle is about to begin!!!"

The evolved Zoro grinned and the wings behind him suddenly flapped.

In an instant, a swift shadow flashed across the sky like a beam of light and rushed straight towards Xiluo.

Because he had started controlling the giant dragon phantom to fight long time ago, so he did not feel the slightest bit of strangeness when his body suddenly gained some dragon characteristics. He was able to control it perfectly in an instant.

“Dragon Sword Style·Thunder·Thousand Powers!!!”

Stab it! ! !

The metal-like dragon scales seem to be more adapted to the energy of thunder and lightning.

In the blink of an eye, Zoro's sword was covered by terrifying thunder.

Wherever he passed, the air was filled with the power of thunder and lightning, with tiny electric currents emitting like little snakes.

"Asshole! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you ate a powerful devil fruit!!!"

Seeing this scene, although he was still frightened, Shiryu bravely picked up his weapon, stomped his feet hard on the ground, creating a huge deep pit, and then swung his sword as if to fight with Zoro.

"Blood killing, forming a river!!!"

Peng!

The surging murderous aura gushed out from Xiliu's body again, dyeing the surrounding air blood red.

After all, he is a world-class swordsman. Even though he suffered a lot of mental discomfort, he instantly took out the posture of a swordsman and fought against Zoro.

Clang! ! !

The four long swords collided with each other again, causing an even more powerful impact than before, instantly sweeping the surroundings and turning them into a foundation of only rock layers.

At this moment, the earth began to split apart from under the feet of Zoro and Shiryu.

The huge crack continued to spread to both sides as the two men struggled.

"Um!?"

When Zoro noticed this, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. Then he flapped his wings, and actively dispersed the power in his body, and suddenly flew high into the sky.

In any case, they are here to help Nine Snake Island defeat the invaders.

If their power causes irreparable damage to Nine Snake Island...

That would be so embarrassing!

"Rain Shiryu, do you want my fruit ability!?"

"If you want, come find me in the sky!!!"

Zoro already knew what Xilu was thinking, so he stopped explaining and instead followed his thoughts to seduce him.

"Damn you brat!"

When Xiliu heard this, an angry look suddenly appeared on his face.

But at this moment, he had to admit...

After seeing the effect of Zoro's transformation, his interest in this fruit has turned into a determination to obtain it!

tread!

A perfect circular wave of air suddenly gushed out from under Xiluo's feet.

As a naval officer, he naturally learned the six-style techniques.

However, as a swordsman, he often uses agile moves such as shaving and paper painting among the six styles, and has already integrated them into his daily combat.

But this does not mean that he will be unfamiliar with the other six moves.

Shiryu, using the Moon Steps, quickly caught up with Zoro who was flying in the air.

With Zoro's mysterious repeated jumps, they finally stopped above a dense forest.

"The cat and mouse game is finally over?!"

Shiryu, who had already followed Zoro around several inexplicable turns on Nine Snake Island, was suspended in the air, questioning Zoro.

But after hearing this, Sauron said with deep emotion:

"I didn't expect the airspace over Nine Snake Island to be so complicated...it's so hard to even find a quiet area."

?

A hint of doubt flashed across Xiliu's eyes.

He set his sights on the open space several kilometers away where they were before.

With their current strength, a distance of several kilometers is nothing at all when they exert their full strength.

But for some reason, Xiliu had a magical guess in his mind at this moment...

"Could this guy across from me be a person with a poor sense of direction?!"

"If the purpose is to find a quiet area... why did you lead me to circle around the Amazon Lily Kingdom several times before coming out?"

Although this question had nothing to do with the battle at hand, three black lines still appeared on Xilu's forehead.

An inexplicable feeling of humiliation suddenly arose in his heart.

This guy, shouldn't be so stupid! ?

But Zoro on the opposite side seemed to have no idea of ​​Shiryu's thoughts. His aura condensed again and he instantly entered a fighting stance.

On the other side, Shiryu also put aside his messy thoughts and began to take the battle in front of him seriously.

In an instant, the battle between the Killing Maniac and the Dragon Swordsman began in the sky above Nine Snake Island.

The terrifying slashing blows kept flying out, and as the two men dodged, they blasted towards the distant sea or the forest below.

The massive battle impact instantly attracted the attention of other powerful people on Nine Snake Island.

But soon, they turned their attention back to their own battle.

After all, Zoro is not the only one in the Straw Hat Pirates shining on this battlefield!

……

……

"Franky Iron Fist of Evil!!!"

boom!

Near the gate of Nine Snake Island, Franky, the metal-cyborg, suddenly turned around and triggered a mechanism, firing his fist like a bullet.

And at this moment, a wave of energy filled with evil and weirdness suddenly appeared from his body.

Along the chain connecting the iron fist, the energy instantly spread rapidly like a rushing river, and driven by the iron fist, it smashed towards the pirates in the distance!

"what!!!"

All of a sudden!

The metal fist, which was originally only slightly larger than an ordinary fist, suddenly turned into a huge fist shadow condensed by evil energy, and then directly knocked all the pirates on the street away.

After many pirates fell to the ground, expressions of extreme fear appeared on their faces.

Even with injuries and fractures, he still stood up regardless of the consequences.

Then, letting out a miserable roar, it fled away in panic.

Apparently, these unlucky guys had triggered the special effects of the wave of evil—and fell into a state of cowering.

Otherwise, how could they, as powerful pirates capable of dominating a region, be so frightened by such a single blow?

In this way, Franky gave full play to his street slicker nature, hammering all the way from the city gate to the center of the city without blinking an eye.

until……

A middle-aged man dressed like a hunter appeared in front of him.

tread!

Franky suddenly stopped and looked at the figure in front of him with a look of surprise on his face.

He grinned and said:

"I thought little Aisha's perception was wrong!"

"So you were hiding here!"

"Captain Cana Wolfe, former captain of the Fury Pirates, with a bounty of 480 million berries!"

"No!"

"I should call you the Black Lion Alliance's Kana Wolf cadre now, right?!"

"I never thought that after nearly ten years, there would still be people who could recognize my identity at a glance!"

“It’s really… exciting!”

Cana, who intercepted Franky, had a gleam in his eyes, and with his sharp face, he looked extremely cunning and vicious.

Although he knew that Franky was just a small figure in the Straw Hat Pirates and his bounty was only 60 million Baileys.

Not even a fraction of what you have.

But being vigilant by nature, he still secretly observed Franky for a while, watching him knock away and scare away a large number of pirates.

Only now did he dare to step out from the shadows and perform the duties of a senior official of the Black Lion Alliance.

After all, judging from Blackbeard's hatred for the Straw Hat Pirates, if he is able to kill a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, given Blackbeard's talent-oriented character, he will definitely reward him greatly.

After hearing Kana's words, Franky also showed an expectant look.

"excited!?"

"Who says it isn't?"

He had not performed well in the previous battle on Judicial Island, nor had he received a high bounty. Now he really needed a strong man to prove himself...

He is not just a member of the Straw Hat Pirates to make up the numbers!

Thoughts flashed by.

The two people with the same goal reached a high degree of unity in their thoughts and actions at this moment.

"Transform! Werewolf form!"

"Transform! Franky's battle form!"

Under the astonished gaze of the two, Franky and Cana's bodies changed at the same time.

Franky's eyes suddenly flashed red like an alarm.

The next moment, his right arm suddenly opened, and a strange device emerged from it.

As the device was combined, in the blink of an eye, a black muzzle about the same size as Franky's wrist appeared on his arm.

Behind the muzzle, there are three brightly colored gems hanging.

The hot stone of fire, the dazzling stone of thunder, the cold stone of ice.

If a member of the Straw Hat Pirates saw these three types of evolution stones, they would instantly understand the function of these energy stones.

Because these are the three attributes of the triple attack, which are about to become the three primary "colors" of the Straw Hat Pirates!

And Franky's other hand also suddenly changed!

The originally thick fingers became extremely sharp at this moment.

The skin above his fingers began to disappear, revealing five transparent glass containers.

And in these containers, there are liquids of 5 different colors.

These liquids are the special venom that Usopp and Chopper created for Franky some time ago.

With the mechanical structure implanted in Franky's fingers extending and retracting, and the six-style finger gun moves he just learned...

He is now able to release these venoms into the enemy's body while attacking, causing damage of varying degrees and effects to the enemy.

In addition, his chest suddenly opened like a metal gate, revealing a crystal containing tremendous energy.

Just like Iron Man’s nuclear reactor, it emits a strange and shining light.

Franky's battle form: Unit-01...

See!!!
