Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 273 Armed Evolution (×) Pokémonization (√)

After the "evolution", Sanji was suspended in the sky, inviting Kikuko to continue the battle like a gentleman.

Seeing Sanji's current form, Kikuko's eyes also showed admiration for the young man.

But the next moment, she turned her eyes directly to the trainer, Red.

"It's incredible!"

"This is the first time I have seen such a novel evolution. It seems that you are not a simple trainer."

"In that case, I have to show my true strength!"

Swish!

Kikuko swung the cane in her hand, and she didn't look like she needed it at all. She said to Red with rising momentum.

"Uh..."

Red, who was also confused by Sanji's evolution, was slightly stunned.

But the words had come to this point, so he had to raise his head and force a middle school smile:

"Then let's fight with all our might!"

"Fight, continue!"

As he spoke, Chihong suddenly waved his hand, and a faint strange wave suddenly emanated from his body.

It was the wave power he had just obtained.

Under the power of the wave, Sanji's physical condition instantly appeared in Chihong's perception.

"Is that so."

"Is this the essence of evolution?"

In the battle area, Sanji, who had received the signal, had fought with Kikuko's Arbok again.

And Chihong also took this opportunity to study the root of Zoro and Sanji's abnormal evolution.

With the help of the wave power, he could clearly perceive that the wave in Sanji's body at this moment was very different from his own and the ghost king Kikuko on the opposite side.

Wave, that is, the wave of life.

At this time, although Sanji had an extra set of flame armor on his body, he was no different from usual.

But based on the knowledge in his mind, Red could feel it...

His current life fluctuations are no longer like those of a human being, but have many similarities with the Arbok on the opposite side.

In other words, after "evolution", Sanji has completely become a Pokémon, not just an ordinary template loaded by the machine.

"It's just a good game, but you guys have really played it out!"

At this moment, Red's heart was indescribably surprised.

Although his partners became stronger one after another in ways he didn't expect, making him, a trainer, feel little.

But the strength of his partners will eventually be reflected back to him through the machine.

Red is now eager to know what kind of reward the machine will give him after they complete the championship challenge.

Thinking of this, he turned his eyes to the center of the battlefield again.

After evolution, Sanji's strength has been greatly improved, just like Zoro.

And unlike Zoro, who is more inclined to a single dragon attribute after evolution...

I don't know if it is related to the scientific factors in Sanji's body, which makes his body more inclusive and polygonal.

In short, Sanji's evolution seems to be more perfect than Zoro, and it still embodies the dual attributes of fire + fighting.

At this time, not only the flames he released were more blazing and magnificent, but even his fighting skills were greatly improved.

The handsome figure that kept flashing in the air showed the three words "strike feeling" vividly.

Every action was so flawless!

After seeing the scene of Sanji fighting with Arbok, an outrageous idiom suddenly popped up in Red's mind-"pleasing to the eye"!

"This fight!? This cool feeling!? It's just like watching a CG animation!" Red's eyes reflected the bright flames, and he couldn't help whispering softly.

After all...

Sanji, who turned into a flame knight, is completely the dream image in the minds of boys.

(Reference picture)

"Flame Knight Wind Kick·Revolving Burn STRIKE!!!"

The blazing flames formed a terrifying vortex, accompanied by Sanji's crash into the defending Arbok.

Unfortunately, this is the third time it has used the defensive move in a row.

Even though the level 63 Arbok has a combat power comparable to that of a pirate with a bounty of 500 million, it can only be hit with tears under Sanji's attack.

Accompanied by a violent vibration, without any surprise, Sanji won the first victory of the Ghost King Challenge.

"Is this the power of evolution?"

"Zoro, the second-in-command position will not be given to you so soon!"

After landing, Sanji also looked at his palms in shock, but his mind couldn't help but recall the scene of Zoro teaching him the evolutionary insights a few days ago.

Yes.

The reason why he was able to complete the evolutionary leap in such a short time can be said to be 80% of the credit from Zoro.

He will not forget the thanks he deserves.

But he will not give in to the competition he deserves!

Boom! ! !

Sanji, who defeated the enemy, was instantly surrounded by flames, and a giant dragon figure was faintly formed in the air, emitting a tiny dragon roar, as if paying tribute to someone.

The following battle was also accelerated.

In the face of Sanji's overwhelming strength, even the ghost and poison-type Pokémon that could restrain him had no choice but to take the beating.

Finally, after Kikuko tried to use Gengar to launch the same fate move to kill Sanji, but failed because Sanji was too fast to catch, the battle officially ended.

[Congratulations to the player for defeating the ghost king-Kikuko, and getting a special reward: Soul Body. ]

[Congratulations to the player for defeating the ghost king-Kikuko, and getting a special reward: Ghost Crystal Seed. ]

"Hu~"

With a heavy breath, the blazing red armor seemed to be dissolved, emitting the brightness of the flame and slowly blending into

Sanji exited the evolution state and returned to his usual black suit, with a little fatigue on his face.

Obviously, even with the support of scientific power, the consumption of Sanji in that form just now cannot be ignored.

If Sanji rashly lets Sanji fight against an enemy who is too strong and is dragged into a war of attrition by the opponent, the result will be bad.

Noticing this, Red pondered for a moment, but immediately did not study the newly acquired ability. He stepped forward and handed Sanji a bottle of good medicine.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sanji."

"Huh... Huh..."

"...Thank you, Red."

Sanji, who was still calming his breath, nodded slightly, took the good medicine and drank it directly.

Under the magical effect of the Pokémon props, his condition recovered visibly.

Then Sanji turned his head and showed a happy and excited smile to Red:

"I did it! Red!"

"Did you see it!?"

"What the green algae head can do, I can do too!!!"

"Yes, yes..." Red smiled helplessly.

Obviously, creating an unprecedented evolutionary form should be something worth remembering...

But when it came to Sanji's mouth, why was it like a child arguing about his higher test score before the test.

Clearing the strange sense of déjà vu in his mind, Red immediately asked Sanji some questions that he was more concerned about.

"So...what's your evolution all about?"

"Is it really like Zoro said, to control the energy of Pokémon more meticulously and spread it throughout the body?"

"...Yeah."

After talking about this issue, Sanji also became normal and nodded in response:

"Just like that green algae-headed bastard said, in normal battles, all the Pokémon energy is like stored in an unknown space in the body..."

"Although they can be mobilized and used at will, they are always in a strange state of being inside the body and not inside the body."

"It's very similar to the quantum state you mentioned before, Red."

"And what I did before evolving was to extract all the Pokémon energy from the unknown space and spread it throughout the body, just like the power I already have."

"Then...I evolved inexplicably!"

"Is that so~"

After listening to Sanji's explanation, Red nodded clearly and didn't react too much.

After all, he had heard the same words from Zoro once before.

And combined with what he just observed through the power of the waveguide...

The "evolution" mastered by Zoro and Sanji is not a real Pokémon evolution like the previous Merry.

Their situation is more like the Armed Evolution in "Digimon"!

That's right.

Although it is a bit weird to use "Digimon" things to describe the power of "Pokémon", at least in form, Zoro and Sanji's "evolution" and the Armed Evolution in Digimon are simply similar!

From the situation that Sanji can use both fire and fighting attributes at the same time after evolution, while Zoro can only use a single dragon attribute...

Their evolution method is very flexible.

Because Zoro is the first person to eat crabs, and in daily battles, the use of the powerful dragon attribute is far better than the steel attribute, so when trying to evolve, it just becomes a single dragon form like before.

And just like the armored evolution of Digimon is divided into human form and beast form...

In Zoro's body, there must be a steel form power hidden that has not been tapped.

At that time, Zoro, who can flexibly control both dragon and steel attributes, will also enter a complete evolutionary form like Sanji just now.

And this requires Zoro to work hard.

However, Akahiro believes that day will come soon.

He guessed that the emergence of this situation may be related to Zoro's way of practicing kendo.

The kendo in the pirate world is ever-changing and strange.

Some people focus on the comprehension of sword meaning, some people focus on the dexterity of sword moves, some people focus on the strength of the swing, and some people focus on the strength of the sword...

Although for a powerful swordsman, these are all things they should consider, there will always be some deviations.

Compared with other swordsmen, Zoro may belong to the category that pays more attention to himself.

His practice has always been inclined to exercise himself.

The sword is currently only an extension of his strength, not all of his strength.

Even if he loses the sword, he can still rely on his body to use powerful swordless moves!

So even though Chi Hong got the Wano national treasure [Famous Sword, Shu Shui] from the terrifying barque, which was more powerful than the third generation of Kitetsu and Aohiboshi, Zoro still had no intention of changing his sword.

Rather than just getting a more powerful knife...

He also hopes that through his own tempering, the third generation of ghosts Tetsu and Cang Xiang in his hands will become stronger and become world-renowned famous swords!

"Speaking of which, it seems that Sauron has not tried to temper the knife with steel properties?"

"Perhaps we can use this method to strengthen Sauron's control over the properties of steel."

Countless thoughts were flying randomly in Hong's mind.

Immediately afterwards, he thought about something more critical...

That is to name this special way of evolution of Zoro and Sanji.

After all, he couldn't really use armed evolution to call Sauron's way of evolution.

A good name may be able to subtly help partners master this ability faster.

After thinking for a moment, Chihong finally chose an extremely simple, crude, and easy-to-understand name...

【Pokémon Transformation】!

"perhaps……"

"This is the reason why Luffy's MEGA evolution has never been successful~"

While Chi Hong was guessing, he turned his attention to the new ability given to him by the machine.

…

…

Wow——

A few minutes later, the white light shines again.

Sanji, who was standing next to Red and smoking a cigarette, suddenly turned into a swordsman wearing a green turban and three long swords on his waist.

It’s the long-awaited great swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates—Roronoa Zoro!

"Is it finally my turn?"

Zoro, who had been waiting for a long time, came to the Pokémon world. His eyes suddenly turned aside, as if flames were dancing in it, and he raised the corners of his mouth and said:

"It's all because of that perverted cook's procrastination. I almost fell asleep waiting for it!"

When Zoro first appeared on the scene, as expected by Chi Hong, he first gave Sanji a bad mouth as usual.

But after hearing his words, the corners of her red lips couldn't help but reveal a smirk.

He reminded maliciously:

"You can't blame Sanji, Zoro."

"After all, he has just mastered that ability and defeated two Four Heavenly Kings. It is normal for him to spend more time."

"Huh!?" Sauron, who was about to fight, suddenly looked stunned, "That ability?"

He turned his astonished gaze to Chihong: "Could it be that that perverted cook also..."

"That's right!"

Before Sauron could finish speaking, Chi Hong nodded vigorously, and then added with a smile:

"Sanji also successfully completed the Pokémon transformation, which is the special evolution Zoro had before you."

"And what's different from Zoro is..." At this point, Chi Hong's tone suddenly stopped and became yin and yang: "Sanji has completed the co-evolution of the dual attributes of fire + fighting in one fell swoop!"

"Compared to Zoro's previous Pokémon transformation, it is more complete!"

"…………"

After hearing the news, Zoro's smile disappeared instantly and moved to his red face.

And he also put one hand on the handle of the knife and squeezed it tightly.

After a moment, Zoro suddenly said with firm eyes:

"Don't waste time here, Red!"

"I now……"

“Can’t wait to chop something!”
