One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chapter 40 Don't fool yourself too

At this moment, a powerful fighting spirit surged in Zoro's eyes, and a faint, mysterious energy unconsciously emanated from his body.

But this power made both Red and Luffy take notice.

"This is……"

Crimson narrowed her eyes slightly.

Luffy immediately added, "...The power of Pokémon!"

Wild, destructive, powerful, hard, sharp...

In an instant, Akane and Luffy sensed many different energy auras emanating from Zoro's aura.

These auras seem to correspond perfectly to the Dragon and Steel types of Zoro.

Strangely, even though Red hasn't found a suitable Pokémon move for Zoro yet, Zoro shouldn't be using Pokémon energy on his own.

After all, this is something even the official Pokémon games can't do.

"interesting."

"Did Zoro use his own will to activate the Pokémon energy hidden within his body?"

His crimson eyes flashed, and his anticipation for Zoro deepened even further.

"Alright, then you can take care of the next enemy."

"Is everything alright, Luffy?"

"Oh well."

Although he also wanted to fight, Luffy naturally didn't say anything more since Zoro had already said so.

Anyway, opportunities to battle are everywhere in the Pokémon world.

"Let's not delay, let's go to the villa on the mountain now."

"Usopp, you can lead the way."

"Ah...no problem."

Usopp, who had been itching to get started, immediately set off.

He really couldn't stand it for even a second longer; he just wanted to get rid of the pirates around Kaya as soon as possible.

The group paid their bill and left the restaurant, then, led by Usopp, hurried towards the mountaintop villa.

at the same time.

Inside Kaya's villa.

Disguised as the butler Krabatel, Klo pushed the food cart to Kaya's door and knocked elegantly.

"Miss Koya, your dinner is ready. May I come in?"

"Come in, Krabatel."

A soft voice came from inside the door. Kro gently pushed the door open and gracefully pushed the food cart to Kaya's bedside.

At this moment, Kaya was leaning weakly against the headboard, holding a medical book in her hand.

Because it was summer, even though it was dinnertime, the sky outside was only slightly dimmer than at noon.

Blue sky and white clouds, leisurely and carefree.

That was the freedom that the frail and sickly Kaya longed for.

Seeing that Miss Kaya had put down her book, Kuro noticed a newspaper he had delivered that morning and a wanted poster for Luffy on Kaya's bedside table.

When he noticed Luffy's 5000 million bounty, his eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly concealed it.

As usual, Chloe politely put away the newspaper and the wanted poster, and even casually remarked to Kaya:

"This is terrifying. I never expected such a terrifying pirate to suddenly appear in the East Blue..."

"I wonder how many more people will be displaced because of these bastards."

Upon hearing this, Kaya immediately asked curiously, "Krabatel, do you hate pirates?"

"Of course!" Kro answered without hesitation.

"Pirates are all a bunch of damn scum... Sorry, Ms. Kaya, my words may have been a bit rude."

"But that's just the way it is."

"Okay." Kaya didn't say anything more.

Despite being influenced by Usopp, she did not believe that pirates were entirely bad.

But she didn't think there was anything wrong with what Chloe said.

After all, the vast majority of pirates are indeed not good people.

After serving Kaya dinner, Kro and Kaya started chatting casually.

Suddenly, a noisy sound came from outside the villa window.

"Wait! Who are you people!?"

"This is private property, you are not allowed to go in!"

"Make way! It's me! It's Usopp from the village! Kaya is in danger!"

"Help! Help! Someone's trying to force their way into the villa!"

“…………”

“…………”

"Usopp?"

Kaya, who was about to rest, paused for a moment, then immediately got out of bed, put on her slippers, and looked out the window.

However, at that moment...

"Danger! Miss Kaya!"

Suddenly, Chloe stepped in front of her, stopping her, and like a gentlemanly butler, she dissuaded her:

"There's trouble outside, and it's too dangerous near the window. Miss Koya, please don't go near it."

"I'll go check out what's going on outside."

After giving his instructions, Kro immediately set off.

The moment he stepped out of the room, his gentle and refined demeanor vanished, replaced by a cold, murderous glint in his eyes.

For some reason, he had a bad feeling from the shouting between Usopp and the guards.

"Damn it! It's that long-nosed brat again!"

"If you dare to interfere with my plans, I'll tear you to pieces!!!"

He had already secretly contacted Zango not long ago, and the time for him to close the net will be soon!

Three years of forbearance, all for this moment!

He would not allow any unforeseen events to occur.

But when Kro followed the noisy sounds to the manor gate, something unexpected happened.

"Who...who are you people?"

Seeing the group of guards lying on the ground, Kro's expression suddenly turned panicked.

His panic was not because the guards had been knocked down.

Instead, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face next to Usopp.

"You are... Monkey D. Luffy, the Straw Hat Luffy!?"

Recalling the bounty poster he had just seen, Kro's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes blazed with boundless killing intent.

But then, he immediately turned his gaze to Usopp:

"I know you! You're the village's notorious liar!"

"I thought you were just a brat trying to attract attention, but I never expected you to be hanging out with pirates!"

"He's truly an irredeemable scumbag!"

"Mr. Meryl! Quickly call the Navy!!!"

Kro shouted at Meryl, who was still able to move normally.

Although they are all butlers, thanks to his closer relationship with Kaya, Kro is now showing signs of taking control of Kaya's household.

"yes!"

Completely bewildered, Mary heard Crowe's instructions and immediately tried to return to the villa to make a phone call.

But just then, Crimson suddenly stepped forward and said with a smile:

"I advise you not to let Mr. Mary do such a thing..."

"You wouldn't want your identity, which you've hidden for three years, to be exposed to the world like this, would you?"

"The captain of the Black Cat Pirates—[Hundred Plans] Kuro!"

Upon hearing Crimson pronounce his name accurately, Kro's pupils suddenly contracted, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

Even Merry, who was about to inform the Navy, and Kaya, who was eavesdropping by the window, were taken aback.

Damn!

How could anyone know my identity?!

Did one of the Black Cat Pirates leak it?

Kro was both puzzled and shocked, but on the surface he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor.

The hands behind his back clenched tightly for a moment, then instantly loosened.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"But pirates, if you don't leave here soon, you'll be facing imprisonment!"

Kro stubbornly refused to admit it.

But what he got in return was a disdainful smile from Chi Hong.

"interesting!"

"Even at this level, you still refuse to admit it?"

"Hey you, did you end up fooling yourself while you were lying? Do you really think you're a good person now?"

"Unfortunately, we don't have that much time to waste on you."

Crimson suddenly stepped back, shielding everyone in front of her.

"Zoro!"

"He's in your hands now!"

"Be careful, this guy's signature move is a footwork technique that can explode at high speed, and its speed is not much inferior to Shave."

"Oh? There's a character like that in the East Blue?"

Zoro looked slightly surprised, but his eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Kuro.

He knew perfectly well how terrifyingly fast he could shave.

To be able to develop such a technique in the East China Sea, Kuro can be considered a master.

but……

He's taken down a real expert today!

As Zoro drew three long swords, he smiled menacingly at Kuro and said:

"Hey! You're not the type to fight unarmed, are you!?"

"I'll give you a chance. Have someone retrieve your weapon."

"let me see……"

"Do you have the qualifications to help me complete that move?"
