Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 363 Ashura vs. Lava Monster (asking for monthly ticket~)

"crimson!?"

Hearing this sudden voice, Zoro and Akainu turned their heads together and immediately saw a red figure that appeared in the air at some point.

Akainu also frowned.

After going through so many things, if he is still so arrogant and regards the Straw Hat Pirates as a group of ordinary pirates, then the ups and downs he has gone through over the years can be regarded as a waste of time.

In fact, long before he learned that the Straw Hat Pirates defeated the Navy Admiral Kizaru and caused Kizaru's whereabouts to be unknown, Akainu had already listed this pirate group as dangerous people and a key target of attention.

It's a pity that the sea was too chaotic during that period, and the Celestial Dragons were completely uncooperative and kept putting pressure on the navy...

Who would have thought that with just a little negligence, the Straw Hat Pirates would soar to the top like a rocket, and now have become a force that even the World Government has to take seriously.

And all this happened in just one year!

Now seeing Akane's sudden appearance, Akainu suddenly had a bad thought in his heart.

But after refuting his words, Akagi suddenly put him aside and said something to the three-sword pirate instead.

"Zoro, it's almost time."

"Let's open a breakthrough from your side!"

"Oh?"

Zoro raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"That's right!"

"It's time to use that power!"

"But if this happens, the bet between you and Sanji will no longer count~"

Red looked at Zoro in amusement.

After all, MEGA evolution requires the use of the bond between Red and Zoro.

This doesn't mean that Zoro defeated Akainu alone.

"……whispering sound."

Hearing this, a complicated look flashed across Zoro's eyes.

He turned his gaze to Akainu again.

After three months of training, his level has been greatly improved.

But now he is still too young and too weak.

Even under Chihong's training, he could only barely reach the combat power of a top-level deputy emperor at best.

There is still a big gap between him and top naval admirals like Akainu.

With my current self, I cannot defeat such an opponent.

Zoro secretly clenched the hilt of the knife, and couldn't help feeling unwilling about his own weakness.

But also…

His eyes gleamed again.

Zoro looked at the battlefield between Sanji and Aokiji in the distance.

It's different from the stalemate on his side.

Relying on the high temperature burning characteristics of the flame, Sanji unexpectedly completely restrained Aokiji's ability, preventing him from exerting any power at all.

However, Aokiji's ability to become a navy admiral is not just due to his fruit ability.

To describe Aokiji in one sentence is...

Although he possesses the qualifications of a world-class magician, he chose to follow Garp and change his job to become a berserker.

As a result, this guy really managed to get through this road.

In the distant sky, although Sanji's fire completely dissolved all of Aokiji's ice attacks, in the end, after every collision between the two sides...

It was all because Sanji was ruthlessly shot down by Aokiji.

Even with the help of the power of the Speed-Speed ​​Fruit, perhaps Aokiji already had experience in fighting against high-speed opponents, and was not affected by Sanji's high speed.

Fortunately, Sanji himself is not an ordinary creature, so even if he is seriously injured again and again, he can recover quickly.

Judging from the current situation, this bet may never have had any outcome.

"If that guy is really that powerful, then I will admit it!"

After an inner struggle, Zoro made the final decision.

He immediately nodded to Chihong.

"The overall situation is more important. I am ready."

Zoro knew that Red must have his own considerations, which was why he found him first.

Although he really wanted to compete with Sanji, he didn't want to affect Red's plan.

"I'm sorry~"

Red grinned, but then stretched out his arm, revealing a Pokémon band tied to his wrist.

And in the center of the wristband, there is a MEGA evolution exclusive item - the key stone!

This key stone has been in Chihong's hands for nearly half a year.

Although it has been used in several tests, this is the first time it has been used on the battlefield!

"Now that the decision has been made, let's just end it cleanly and decisively."

Chihong chuckled, then stretched out two fingers of his other hand and suddenly tapped the key stone.

In an instant, colorful rays of light suddenly bloomed, filling the entire space.

"What tricks are you playing again!?"

Seeing that the same white light was blooming from Zoro's body again, Akainu frowned suddenly.

But the next second, an aura that made his eyes widen was suddenly released from under the white light.

As quiet as death, as mysterious as gods and Buddhas.

The light of evolution that enveloped Zoro quickly faded away.

Immediately afterwards, a strange creature with three heads and six arms, holding nine swords and exuding a ghostly aura appeared in front of Akainu.

"Nine Swords Style Ashura Dragon~!"

Zoro in MEGA state suddenly spoke.

It was clearly still Zoro's own voice, but the sounds emitted by the three heads were completely different.

One is as strong as steel, one is as proud as a dragon, and one is as cold-blooded as Shura...

The three voices mixed together, and actually made Zoro's own aura become inexplicably mysterious.

After the MEGA evolution, 6 more long swords appeared, which also exuded the aura of the three Pokémon attributes of dragon, steel, and ghost respectively.

And this is Zoro's MEGA form!

"Things are starting to get interesting."

Chihong smiled slightly, but his figure slowly retreated backwards.

As long as MEGA evolution is successful, there will only be time limitations, not distance limitations.

Therefore, even if Chihong moves to other battlefields now, there will be no problem at all.

The time limit will depend on the physical fitness of Red and Zoro.

But with good medicine in hand, words like physical overdraft have long been erased from the Straw Hat Pirates' dictionary.

That is to say...

The MEGA evolution led by Red can be said to have no restrictions to some extent!

"I'll leave it to you from now on, Zoro."

Red nodded to Zoro who entered the MEGA state, his eyes turned and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

In his new state, Zoro turned all three heads towards the direction where Akainu was, and replied softly:

"Ah... just leave it to me!"

He is now terribly strong!!!

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in all three of Zoro's eyes.

The next moment, his body suddenly disappeared from Akainu's sight.

When Zoro appeared again, the blade in his hand had already reached Akainu.

"What!?"

Akainu's expression changed drastically as he had never expected that Zoro, after entering a new form, would be able to burst out with such an astonishing speed.

He subconsciously gathered all the armed color domineering in his body, forming a solid blood and energy armor in front of himself.

however……

"Nine Swords Style·Asura·Phantom·Dragon Flash!!!"

Swah——

Without giving Akainu any chance to react, a violent aura suddenly burst out from Zoro's nine long swords, like a ferocious dragon extending its sharp claws, instantly destroying Akainu's armed domineering armor.

But in fact, in the instant when they just looked at each other, Zoro had already taken the initiative and secretly used the ghost-type move Strange Light!

The strange light does not have any killing ability, but it can put the enemy into a state of confusion.

So it seemed that it was Zoro's sword energy that broke through Akainu's domineering defense.

In fact, it was Akainu who gave up defense on his own initiative.

The next second, the hard blade spun rapidly along with Zoro's body, forming a terrifying tornado, which actually directly wrapped up the unexpected Akainu.

The storm formed by sword energy flashed quickly on Akainu's body.

In the blink of an eye, Akainu, who was so arrogant just now, was covered in blood as if he had fallen into a meat grinder.

"what……"

"Damn you little devil!!!"

The intense pain immediately woke Akainu up from his confused state.

Realizing that something was wrong, he immediately burst out with Armament Haki again to resist the invasion of sword energy.

At the same time, a fanatical aura suddenly burst out from his body.

"what!!!"

Along with Akainu's roar, endless flying fire meteors shot out from his body in all directions like bullets, directly defeating the sword energy tornado.

Call ~

The strong wind gradually died down.

But Akainu's body was already covered in blood and scars.

On his cheek, there was a scar that went from the corner of his eye to his chin, as if it was cutting half of his face in half.

Swah——

After the attack, Zoro's body appeared in the empty air like a ghost.

"Isn't it really that simple?!"

Seeing that Akainu actually broke free from his full-strength attack, Zoro murmured softly.

But then the corners of his mouth curled up.

From the previous confrontation, it can be seen that...

After the MEGA evolution, I indeed possess power that exceeds that of the top admirals in the navy!

This is not only an improvement in Zoro's basic attributes, but also that after MEGA evolution, he has more characteristics from the Pokémon world.

As the pioneer of the entire Straw Hat Pirates' development of Pokémon power...

At first, Zoro only used the energy of Pokémon as a boost and utilized it in his sword moves.

He then specialized in Pokémonization and successfully transformed himself into a Pokémon, being able to more skillfully apply the characteristics brought by the Pokémon attributes.

He can even extend his Pokémon moves into sword moves.

Now, as he has further evolved into a Pokémon, he has been able to transcend the limitations of the skill bar and freely use all the Pokémon moves he has ever learned, and extend them to sword moves.

Compared with the increase in physical fitness, the increase in moves and tactics is the key to Zoro's huge strength improvement.

"bring it on!"

"Let me see... where the limit of this form is!!!"

"Bodybuilding!"

"Dance of Dragons!"

"Iron wall!"

"Lightweight body!"

"........."

"........."

In front of Akainu, Zoro directly launched a series of BUFF-type moves, which greatly improved his basic attributes again.

At the same time, horrible magma erupted from Akainu on the opposite side.

The spreading lava expanded rapidly and formed a huge magma giant.

呲——

When a large amount of magma touched the sea water, a thick white mist and steam erupted instantly.

The magma that came into contact with the sea water also broke away from Akainu's control, forming a real land, and is still constantly invading the surrounding sea.

At this moment, Akainu has become the Goodora of the pirate world, using the power of his fruit to create a huge piece of land on the sea.

With the formation of this land, the lava monster also had a new place to settle down.

"Damn pirate, die!!!"

Akainu finally played his last trump card, let out an angry roar, and swung his huge lava fist at Zoro in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, Zoro's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light, and then he did not dodge or evade, but rushed directly towards Akainu's giant lava fist.

The war is about to break out!

With the blessing of various Pokémon move buffs, the three-headed and six-armed Zoro was like a god or demon returning from hell, fighting with the lava monster in front of him that also seemed to come from hell.

In an instant, endless sword lights shot out from the battlefield between the two people in all directions like lightning.

It smashed into the surging waves, instantly splitting the entire sea surface into two, revealing a glorious incision.

The lava meteors that kept shooting out created holes in the sea one after another.

The misty sea fog rose rapidly, making the battlefield more like a fairyland, with a veil full of mystery.

……

……

“It’s really intense!”

Outside the battlefield between Zoro and Akainu, Akane, standing in the air, smacked his lips softly.

have to say……

Akainu is indeed a top-level strongman who was able to defeat Aokiji and successfully become the Navy Admiral.

Apart from anything else, the ability to easily create a lava land is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

This also made a hint of thought appear in Chihong's eyes.

Since the magma created by Akainu can become a permanent terrain, can the power of the magma fruit be used to avoid the fate of this planet being swallowed by the sea?

The current battle was ultimately just a small episode for Chihong.

What admirals, what five elders...

To the entire planet and the entire nature, it is nothing more than a speck of dust and a passing cloud.

Just like Vegapunk cloned the abilities of the Animal and Parahuman Devil Fruits, but could never clone the Natural Devil Fruits...

Chihong has reason to suspect that their ultimate enemy might be the nature of this world, or the entire Blue Planet.

"I don't know if there are any props in the game world that can change nature!?"

"If the local forces of the pirate world are exhausted, I can only place my hope on the power of the machine."

"We can't really migrate to outer space with Luffy and the others..."

Chihong sighed softly.

Then the figure flashed and completely left the battlefield.
