He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

As the barrier dissipated, Guxin grinned, a thick aura swirling around him, combined with the bursting killing intent, making him appear like a vengeful demon crawling out of hell.

A terrifying force erupted in an instant; with just a light stomp, the ground exploded, forming a huge crater like a meteorite crashing into the earth!

The Ultimate Impact!

A powerful attack that deals a whopping 150 damage!

Guxin transformed into a shooting star, carrying unparalleled force, and crashed straight into the dumbfounded Mars.

At this moment, time stands still.

Mars's Armament Haki seemed to have vanished into thin air; first, his incredibly hard longsword shattered into pieces, and then the bones in his arms and hands were reduced to dust.

The power then spread throughout his body, threatening to grind every bone in his body to dust. The excruciating pain lasted only a moment before his consciousness vanished.

My last thought before I died was... Impossible!

boom! !

Mars's battered body flew backward like a cannonball at an extremely high speed, crashing through countless stone walls before falling into a pit of rubble and dust.

Even the remaining turbulent air currents created a long trench on the ground, as if to cut the island in two.

Weeds and dust mingled together, turning into a storm that swept away and dissipated into the ruins not far from the island.

Guxin looked in the direction where Mars had disappeared, his breath weakening until he returned to his original position, but his eyes were still bright and he muttered to himself.

"My fist is bigger, therefore... what I say is the truth."

"Perhaps you should feel honored."

From the moment he came into this world, Mars was the first enemy worthy of his serious attention.

In the past, he only needed to rely on his basic strength to defeat his enemies.

At most, they can use conventional attack skills such as [Arm Hammer] and [Flame Fist].

But this is only the tip of the iceberg of his overall strength.

What makes Pokémon truly unreasonable is their unique characteristics and skills.

Especially the overpowered support skills like "Defend" and "Provoke".

Once they get serious, Pokémon can unleash a level of power far exceeding their stats.

Furthermore, many of its bizarre effects can leave enemies dying without even knowing why.

For example, Mars probably didn't understand until the moment of his death why he could simultaneously possess [rock-like abilities], [a surge in strength], and [absolute defense].

With Absalom's capture and Mars's tragic death, this complete farce seemed to have come to an end.

The abundant experience points were evenly distributed between Snorlax and Gardevoir. Perhaps because the need for experience points increased significantly after reaching A- rank, neither Pokémon leveled up.

But that doesn't mean there won't be any surprises.

The Pokémon he conceived on this island have appeared.

Guxin couldn't wait to focus his attention on his mind, eager to see who his next new partner would be.

In my mind, a large purple "gummy bear" is sticking out its tongue and making faces, showing that it has a very lively personality.

It has a pair of crescent-shaped scarlet eyes, a huge mouth that can stretch to its ears, and spiky protrusions on its back.

It was Gengar!

Guxin is a Pokémon fan, but with so many Pokémon, it's impossible to like them all to the same degree; there are varying degrees of liking.

Coincidentally, the Gardevoir, Snorlax, and Gengar he currently possesses are all his favorite Pokémon.

After all, who wouldn't like a cute "ghost" who makes funny faces?

Thinking about it carefully, given that this place is located on the outskirts of the Devil's Triangle and is frequented by zombie hordes, it's quite reasonable that it would give rise to Ghost-type Gengar.

Name: Gengar

[Type: Ghost, Poison]

【Characteristic: Cursed Body】

[Ability: A-]

[Skills: Shadow Ball, Misfortune Comes Alone, Will-o'-the-Wisp...]

[Shadow Possession: Gengar can enter and control the shadow of the deceased, inheriting the deceased's strength and memories, but the corpse must be 80% or more intact, and the deceased's strength cannot be one level higher than Gengar's.]

Similar to Psychic-type Pokémon, Ghost-type Pokémon are also versatile.

Gengar can freely move through solid objects and hide in the shadows of everything.

Normally, Gengar would lurk in its own shadow.

Even if Gengar doesn't notice the danger, it can still use moves like Protect to protect itself.

After obtaining Gengar, his already formidable ability to survive increased even more significantly!

On the surface, Gardevoir can use Teleport to escape, but behind the scenes, Gengar is always protecting him!

It can also swallow things and store them in its stomach, using it as a warehouse.

Now he doesn't need to carry anything when he goes out; he can just summon Gengar when he needs it, which is quite convenient.

Furthermore, Gengar can use many moves that inflict status ailments.

Reality is different from games; there is no limitation that the other party can only be in a negative state.

Gushin can easily come up with a whole bunch of very "vicious" tactics.

For example, Gardevoir can teleport with Gengar, and then Gengar can continuously unleash moves such as Will-O-Wisp, Curse, Spectral Light, and Hypnosis.

Finally, after adding multiple abnormal states, a double whammy of misfortunes was reaped!

Just imagining that scene, Guxin could feel the enemy's despair.

They couldn't catch up with him, and they couldn't hit him.

Aside from the strong and those with special Devil Fruit abilities, they can only silently endure the erosion of negative status effects and are eventually tortured to death by Gengar.

Furthermore, the ability 【Shadow Abode】 is quite useful. Although it has some requirements, Guxin believes it will definitely come in handy later.

Coming to his senses, Gushin's attention was drawn to Absalom's pleading.

"Please spare me! We're all pirates, there's no need to kill each other," Absalom pleaded, tears streaming down his face.

"Who's a pirate? Don't talk nonsense." Gu Xin kicked him casually, telling him to speak properly.

"Yes, yes, you're not a pirate, I am." Absalom lay on the ground, moved his face, and got more dirt on himself.

"Captain, what should we do with him?" Van Augur asked.

The captain didn't give any orders, so he didn't take action against Absalom without authorization; he simply captured him.

He also knew that Absalom was an executive of Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and that killing him rashly could cause considerable trouble.

One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...

Gusin glanced at Absalom, then thought of what Mars had just said.

To be fair, he wanted to deal with Absalom on the spot, as for the threat from Moria?

Are you kidding me? You think you can rest easy just by letting Absalom go? In the world of pirates, there is no such thing as benevolence or righteousness.

The feud has already started; either we don't continue, or we go all the way.

At that moment, a thought suddenly popped into Guxin's mind that sounded like a fantasy, but also had a sliver of possibility.

"Take him back first," Gu Xin said. "Oh, and gag him. His constant nagging is really annoying."

"No problem." Van Augur hesitated for a moment, then tore off Absalom's sleeve and roughly stuffed it into the latter's mouth.

Absalom was devastated; he regretted not having devised the trap idea for Treasure Island.

He had suffered losses with the zombie army he brought, and he didn't know if he could safely return to Lord Moria's side.

Even if they manage to return successfully, they will be too ashamed to face Lord Moria again.

Who would have thought they'd provoke such a powerful plague god?
