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

boom!

The carapace of the camouflaged crab shattered instantly, and it was violently thrown back into the soil, splashing weeds and mud.

"call--"

Chopper, panting heavily, returned to his normal form after the danger had passed, and couldn't help but say, "That really scared me to death!"

"I never expected there would be creatures lurking down there."

Fortunately, it had trained hard during its time in Alabasta, so dealing with this crab-like insect was a piece of cake.

It's just a little scary.

At this moment, Chopper and Vivi began to realize just how dangerous the island was; they had only just stepped into the small garden when they encountered such a thing.

"As you can see, this place is different from Alabasta. The dangers are much more concentrated and harder to defend against," Gushin said seriously, standing with his arms crossed.

"This is a great place for you to train. Over the next month, you can train according to your own needs."

"You need to be mentally prepared."

"The dangers we will face in the future will be hundreds or even thousands of times greater than what we just faced. It is very likely that the next crisis will arrive as soon as the previous one is resolved."

"Like right now."

As soon as Gu Xin finished speaking, a thunderous sound of footsteps came from not far behind him, and the ground began to shake involuntarily.

Trees fell one by one, and the commotion grew louder, clearly indicating that something big was coming!

To Chopper and Vivi's horror, a massive Tyrannosaurus Rex, about ten meters tall, appeared behind Gushin.

Its eyes were filled with bloodlust, its body was covered with exaggeratedly bulging muscles, and its mouth was wide open, revealing sharp and hard fangs.

Just being targeted by such a top predator is enough to send shivers down a prey's spine, making it difficult for them to even escape.

Even with such ferocious beasts behind him, Gu Xin remained unmoved, like a mountain, exuding an invisible sense of oppression.

"roar!"

The Tyrannosaurus roared, and then its gaping maw was about to swallow Guxin whole.

In an instant, Gu Xin flashed to his side and casually swung his right hand.

Just one simple punch.

Time seemed to have been paused.

Suddenly, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was struck by a tremendous force. A deep dent appeared at the point of impact, which then rippled outwards, sending its massive body flying and causing a huge commotion.

One fatal blow!

"Wow! That's awesome!" Chopper's eyes lit up as he couldn't stop praising.

In its eyes, Captain Guxin was the most powerful.

Especially that punch just now, it looked really cool.

"If I try hard enough, can I throw a punch like that?" Chopper murmured unconsciously.

"Yes, I believe in you, and I'll give you a punch even stronger than that!" Guxin's face showed determination.

"Ordinary Chopper" is still too insecure about himself.

In the original work, it truly lived up to its reputation of "fighting the fiercest battles with the least amount of resources," and even dared to withstand attacks from Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors.

The nickname "The Beard" is well-deserved.

None of the crew members he chose were simple; even Van Augur and Chopper were just underdeveloped.

Given a little time, they can grow into a powerful asset.

With Tyranitar's "Monarchical Sign" buff, this period of time will likely not be long, and may even push them to a level that is not in the original story.

As for Vivi, although she wasn't shown in the original work, she was an Alabasta princess and a member of the D clan.

His talent is definitely not bad; judging by his bloodline, he is a potential Yonko-level talent, so Guxin has no worries at all.

After listening to Guxin's "chicken soup for the soul," Chopper and Vivi were filled with fighting spirit.

Yes, since they are a team, they can't hold others back, even if it's just chasing after Gu Xin's back.

Suddenly, the ground shook again.

This time, the commotion was much stronger than the last one, as if mountains were moving, and the vibration was so great that it could even lift the petite Chopper off the ground.

Guxin narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look to the left.

A tall and imposing figure could be seen not far away; its magnificent size made it visible even from a thousand miles away.

"G-G-Giant...Giant!" Chopper stammered, his voice trembling with fear.

"Quack quack!" Vivi's pet duck Karu covered its eyes with its wings in fear... This silly duck thought that if it covered its eyes, it wouldn't be able to see the other person and the other person would disappear.

"The legendary giant truly lives up to his name." Vivi's delicate face showed a look of horror, and her pupils shrank subconsciously.

Humans will involuntarily feel fear when faced with creatures of enormous size.

Guxin had already recognized the man as Brogi, who was known as the "Red Demon."

It was tall and imposing, with an upturned nose, a large mouth, small eyes, and a beard that flared out like a brush. It wore Viking-style clothing, including a gold belt, a fur-trimmed cloak, knee-length trousers, and a double-horned helmet.

He holds a shield in his left hand and an axe in his right.

At that moment, Brogy also noticed the few "little ones" in the forest and showed curiosity.

He came out looking for food and just saw the commotion here, then saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex fly out.

and so……

"Feed." Broki's voice boomed like a bell; just uttering a single word was enough to shatter eardrums.

Then, he pointed his enormous finger at Gu Xin, and said with a smile:

"You're a strong person, aren't you?"

"Let's have a fight!"

Should we make Guxin fight him?

Chopper and Vivi were both startled by the huge size difference... How could a human fight such a monster?

However, after a moment's thought, the two recalled the sparring session between Guxin the elf and Yixiao that night, and swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Perhaps fighting monsters is just right?

Guxin raised an eyebrow, not expecting that before he could even approach them, one of the giants had already invited him to spar.

I didn't see the other giant, Dorry; I wonder if those two fought today.

About 100 years ago, Dorry and Brogy, captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, each captured a Sea King.

As they celebrated their remarkable catch, a little girl innocently asked, "Who hunted the bigger prey?"

This was an unintentional remark, but it sparked a heated argument between the two. Driven by their competitive spirit and the pride of being warriors, they ultimately decided to settle the matter with a duel.

They agreed to a duel in the small garden, with only the survivors allowed to return to their homeland, and that a duel would take place whenever the volcano in the center of the island erupted.

In the original story, a hundred years had passed, and they had fought more than 70,000 battles, all of which ended in a draw, with no change whatsoever.

Grinding his thoughts, Guxin had Gardevoir take Vivi and Chopper away from there, then looked up at Brogy, who was full of fighting spirit.

next moment.

Large amounts of yellow sand suddenly appeared on the field, and within a few breaths, sand dunes covered the entire area, completely changing the original rainforest landscape.

A sandstorm erupted in the air.

Guxin's aura rose like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and with a glare from his eyes, an astonishing Conqueror's Haki expanded outwards from him!

Sensing this imposing aura, Brogy, who had initially been dismissive, immediately became serious, his pupils shrinking involuntarily.

How is this possible?! This is...!
