Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 459: Shanks? Shanks! (Seeking monthly votes~)

"Chihong, all the historical texts have been reproduced!"

"Chihong, I scanned the flowers to the north, and there was nothing unusual."

"It's the same in the south. Apart from flowers, trees and forest paths, there's nothing special to be found."

"It seems that apart from those historical texts, this is indeed a large indoor garden."

"There is a huge door to the east. It looks like even the giants can enter and exit freely. But that should be the gate between the flowers. I was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so I didn't dare to get too close."

As time went by, the scattered Straw Hat people returned one after another, but they all found nothing.

In the end, Chi Hong also shook his head regretfully and said:

"It seems that this flower garden is indeed a holy place for flower viewing in Yimu. There is nothing special about it."

"The so-called national treasure of the Celestial Dragons should not be located here either."

"Well, before the World Government finds out, let's explore other areas!"

"it is good!"

The Straw Hats all nodded.

But just as they were about to get closer to Chihong and head to the next area, a surging breath suddenly came from the east between the flowers and instantly swept through their bodies like a raging wave.

"Pirates, your death has come!!!"

Peng! ! !

The gate between the flowers suddenly opened, and a large number of figures wearing black cloaks suddenly rushed into the flowers.

The person leading the group was none other than the new commander of the Knights of God who had just been investigating the situation of the World Government below... the guy who looked exactly like Shanks!

"Has it been discovered!?"

Although they had anticipated such a situation, the Straw Hat people had not even discovered what the national treasure of the Celestial Dragons was and were about to enter the battle stage, so there was a hint of disappointment on their faces.

But the next second, they immediately put aside their dissatisfaction and fixed their eyes on the direction of the gate between the flowers.

At the same time, under the leadership of the commander-in-chief, members of the Knights of God were rushing towards the direction of the Straw Hat people.

Just now, they have told Lord Yim everything that happened in Pangu City and Mary Joaquin.

As expected, their report made Lord Yim look extremely angry, and he demanded that they immediately clear out all intruders in the holy land.

Upon receiving the news, the new commander immediately rushed here with all the fighting forces of the Knights of God.

It’s not that they have sensed the presence of the Straw Hat Operation, but the new commander has analyzed the most likely location of the Straw Hat Pirates through the last intrusion of the Straw Hat Pirates and the intelligence on the Straw Hat Pirates held by the World Government.

And it turned out that his analysis was completely correct!

When he saw that the flowers where Lord Im used to rest were tainted with the scent of a group of lowly creatures, the anger in his heart could only be described as "violent".

Without saying anything, he raised the sword in his hand and smashed it madly towards the location of the Straw Hat Pirates.

The pitch-black thunder seemed to tear through the void and suddenly appeared above this quiet and peaceful garden.

It was a visual feast brought about by the domineering aura of the king.

In an instant, he was able to entangle the domineering aura to such an extent, which was enough to show that this person's strength was not inferior to the Four Emperors, and was even stronger than them!

However, seeing this scene, everyone in the Straw Hat group smiled.

"A strong man who uses Haki to fight?!"

"Let me go!"

Looking at Zoro and Sanji who were eager to fight beside him, Luffy suddenly entered the fourth gear state. The ink-black domineering also wrapped around his body, leaving flaming inscriptions.

The next moment, his body suddenly soared into the sky like a cannonball and rushed towards the sudden enemy.

His body was surrounded by terrifying sharp black lightning, and he was also using the powerful domineering aura to entangle him.

At this moment, even if Luffy does not use Nika's power, he still has the strength to fight against the Four Emperors.

Perhaps now he can be considered a true Four Emperors-level player.

Rather than the power of cheating.

This is what Luffy has been looking for to fight against strong physical and domineering people.

Bang! ! !

The swift giant fist and the sharp blade collided in the air, instantly releasing a raging momentum that rushed towards the entire flower, breaking all the grass and trees between the flowers.

There is no way. When it comes to fighting at their level, it is common to destroy an island easily.

The fact that the tiny flowers could barely bear the impact of their force was a testament to the fact that this eight hundred year old building was built without cutting corners.

However, just when the Straw Hats thought that Luffy would have a big fight with the powerful man of the World Government...

Above the sky, Luffy's surging and boiling breath suddenly faded away as if it was extinguished by a basin of cold water.

The next moment, the strong man in black robe launched another powerful attack, directly knocking Luffy down from the sky and slamming him heavily into the ground between the flowers.

"Luffy!?"

Seeing this scene, the Straw Hat guys screamed in surprise.

Akahira suddenly waved his hand and teleported Luffy, who was not far away, to his side. With his other hand, he took out a bottle of medicine from the backpack and got ready.

But when he picked up Luffy with one hand, he didn't find any obvious injuries on his body.

Instead, it was his pair of extremely shocked eyes that attracted more of Chihong's attention.

Ok?

what happened?

Chihong was stunned.

But then, he heard Uta's exclamation from behind him:

"This...how is this possible!?"

"Shanks, why are you here?!"

Shanks!?

Upon hearing Uta's voice, Chihong immediately looked up and saw the figure floating in the sky. The black hood on his body had been taken off at some point, revealing his real face.

And his face was exactly the face that Uta had been looking for for a long time... the face of her adoptive father, Red-Haired Shanks!

Sure enough, it appeared!

Shanks is said to have appeared in the Holy Land.

Chihong, who had finally reached the end of the story, widened his eyes and looked at the figure in the sky with an exploratory look.

Is it the ability to imitate others?!

Do not!

Thinking quickly in his mind, Akame soon noticed that there were no signs of being attacked by Blackbeard on the face of the "Shanks" in front of him.

That is to say...

"Is this Shanks' twin brother, or is it his clone!?"

"The probability of a clone is not very high. After all, Shanks was picked up by Roger and his friends when he was still a baby."

"But no matter what, it's already confirmed that Shanks has the blood of the Celestial Dragons!"

"No wonder he is so talented that even Buggy, who has Conqueror's Haki luck, is inferior to him."

"As expected, the pirate world is still a world that values ​​bloodline after all~"

The thoughts in his mind were confirmed one by one, some made Chihong feel relieved, but some made him feel helpless.

"Don't worry, that's not the Shanks you know."

Knowing what Luffy and Uta were shocked about, Akane grinned and explained to them:

"Look at his face, he doesn't have the same scars as Shanks."

"If I'm guessing correctly, this guy should be Shanks' twin brother or something like that."

"Shanks'...brother!?"

Chihong's words made a big question mark flash across Luffy and Uta's faces again.

But at least, this result is more acceptable to them than if the opponent was Shanks.

"Wait, Red!"

At this moment, Nami suddenly stopped him in shock and asked:

"You mean to say that... Red-haired Shanks, who is one of the Four Emperors, is actually a Celestial Dragon!?"

"Humph! That filthy fellow who tainted the bloodline has no right to become a Celestial Dragon!"

At this moment, Stinkx fell to the ground from the sky. His aura did not diminish at all, and he stared in the direction of the Straw Hat people.

"Don't lump me in with that piece of shit!"

"Shanks is not a waste!!!"

Luffy finally came to his senses after knowing the truth.

After knowing that the person in front of him was not Shanks, he also rekindled his will to fight.

"I don't understand what's going on, but this guy who looks exactly like Shanks is an enemy, right!?"

"That's right!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Akane smiled and nodded, reaching out to brush the dirt off Luffy's body.

"That's no problem!" Luffy put the straw hat on his head, "If he's an enemy, just knock him away!!!"

puff~

A wave of air rose.

Luffy entered the fourth gear again.

And Stinkyx on the opposite side also sneered and said:

"Haha, you are such a shameless guy!"

"Monkey D. Luffy, remember this..."

"My name is Saint Zekaros! I am not that idiot who defiled the sacred bloodline!!!"

boom! ! !

The powerful aura once again gushed out from Stinkyx, also known as Saint Zekaros.

And this time, Luffy was equally unwilling to be outdone and released his terrifying domineering aura.

The two waves of momentum suddenly collided with each other, causing the space in the center of the battlefield to distort.

Although he spoke with disdain of inferior creatures, Saint Zecaros' heart couldn't help but tighten when he felt the domineering aura erupting from Luffy.

Is this the power unleashed by the Pirate Emperor who surpasses the Four Emperors?

It’s really scary!

In fact, Saint Zecarlos never underestimated the strength of the Straw Hat Pirates, otherwise he would not have called a group of reservists who had just joined the Knights of God not long ago to encircle and suppress the Straw Hat Pirates.

He knew very well that Luffy was the guy who defeated the former commander of the Knights of God, his father, Ancient Saint Grimm.

Although he possesses strength that is not inferior to his father's, he may not be a match for Straw Hat Boy Luffy.

but……

He is different now!!!

Because he, after hesitating for a long time, finally chose to eat the devil fruit!

Although devil fruits can give the eater powerful powers, few celestial dragons choose to eat devil fruits.

Because they know that one day this world will be completely swallowed up by the sea.

Faced with a world full of vast oceans, those with abilities cursed by the sea will be the easiest to bully in the world.

However, this time and that time.

The emergence of the Straw Hat Pirates completely disrupted the World Government's predictions about the ocean.

Coupled with the successive deaths and disappearances of members of the Knights of God, in order to take the position of commander-in-chief of the Knights of God, Saint Zecarlos finally made a choice.

And the devil fruit that he loves is not a brand new ability.

It was because the previous owner of the ability died that it drifted to the sea again...

Natural Dark Fruit!!!

Huh~! ! !

An invisible hurricane suddenly gushed out from Saint Zekalos' body.

The next second, deep and terrifying darkness suddenly gushed out from the body of Saint Zekalos, and a huge black mist skull formed behind him, emitting a strange aura.

"This...this is!?"

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, even Chihong couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression at this moment.

"Dark-Dark Fruit!?"

Chihong recognized the identity of this fruit ability immediately.

At this moment, he also understood why they had not found the devil fruit even with the combined strength of the Straw Hat Pirates, and he also understood why the World Government was suddenly so fanatical about people with special abilities.

After all this time... they are just like Blackbeard, wanting to use the power of this fruit to create an army of people with special abilities!

“Interesting~”

Chihong raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled.

He began to wonder what the Dark-Dark Fruit, used by the Celestial Dragons who knew all the information, would look like.

A strange black fog invaded the ground and quickly spread towards Luffy's location.

Seeing this scene, Luffy also looked alert.

He suddenly remembered the last time he encountered this black fog.

"This thing seems to be able to control the power of the fruit!?"

Sure enough, when the black fog spread to Luffy's feet, he inexplicably felt a very strange feeling.

just like……

It's like an instinct of the body has disappeared.

And his form also degenerated from the original fourth gear to the normal state.

"The ability of the fruit has disappeared?" Luffy looked at his hands and murmured softly.

Obviously, the power of his Nika Fruit has been affected by darkness and cannot be used normally immediately!

But at this moment, there was no panic on Luffy's face.

Because he could feel that if he wanted, he could enter the fifth gear at any time.

Although the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit can block the abilities of ordinary fruits, it is not enough for the Nika Fruit, which is special to the whole world.

However, he did not choose to enter the Nika state. Instead, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"never mind!"

"Anyway, I want to train more powers other than the fruit, so if that's the case..."

"Then let's fight in this state!!!"

Although he can no longer use the power of the fruit, it seems that this is exactly what Luffy wants.

Of course, Luffy is not a Saiyan, and no matter how strong he is, he will never underestimate his opponent.

Just because he can't use the Devil Fruit doesn't mean he can't cheat!!!

wow——

The brilliance of evolution suddenly shines, so dazzling in the black waves!!!

Facing this Zekaros Saint who looks like Shanks, Luffy chooses...

Attack in Pokémon form!!!
