Selling Pokémon from Pirates

Chapter 188 The King and the Cook

“Dear audience friends, good morning everyone!!!”

Still a familiar voice, still a familiar outfit.

The Rockets trio stood in the center of the ring, holding microphones, with warm and bright smiles on their faces, waving their arms to the surrounding audience.

After straightening her hair, which had been waxed a lot, Musashi instantly transformed into a pure and determined beautiful girl with a hint of charm.

“Thank you all for your enthusiastic support for this conference!”

"The preliminary round that lasted for six days finally ended successfully in a tense and exciting atmosphere. After a day of repairs, we ushered in the main round of this Pokémon League Conference!"

"Next, let us welcome the top 16 of this conference with warm applause!!!"

【Legends never die】

【when the world is calling you......】

A low melody suddenly hovered in the sky of the arena.

When the first drumbeat broke out, a heavy foot suddenly stepped on the steps of the ring.

Garp, wearing a cloak of justice, slowly walked towards the center of the ring with a serious look on his face, played by BGM.

Behind him, Ace and others stepped onto the ring one after another according to the order of qualifying results.

16 people lined up.

It can be seen that the makeup and clothing of everyone standing here today have been carefully designed by professionals based on their fighting style and personality.

Whoosh!

A huge light particle projection suddenly appeared in the sky above the arena. With the blessing of special technology, it was ensured that no matter which angle the audience looked at, they could see it clearly and truly.

In the projection, the wonderful moments of the 16 players on the field during the preliminary round were played!

Garp's Iron Fist kills with one hit, Ace's burning out, Zoro's sharp slash, Nami's thunder world, Sanji's brutal kicking skills, Usopp's jungle world...

One after another, wonderful scenes paired with BGM are displayed in front of audiences around the world.

Amid the heart-tugging drumbeats, the edited clips are even more profound than the live world.

This group of locals from the world of One Piece, who had never watched the hot-blooded clips from Station B, or even watched much of the TV show, were instantly excited by the projection.

There were loud cheers at the scene!

"Come on! Ace!!! You are the fifth emperor of the sea!!!" This is a little pirate who was infected by Ace's deeds.

"Lieutenant General Garp, Colonel Smoker, come on! Let these young people see the strength of our navy!" This is the East China Sea Navy who took the time to watch the grand event.

"Don't embarrass us Barati, Sanji!!!" These are the chefs of Barati restaurant.

"Brother Zoro! Come on! Kill them!!!" This is Johnny and Joseph hidden among thousands of people, as well as Arrita and Kebi standing behind them waving the flag for Zoro.

"Miss Nami, Miss Robin, I will record your most beautiful moments!" This is a veteran who is not inferior to Sanji, holding a camera and preparing to capture missed moments!

"You are the best! Usopp!!!" Keya accidentally shaped the metal cheering stick in her hand into the shape of a palm. Under the fearful eyes of Bucky and the others, she waved her hand and brought up gusts of wind.

, chanting for Usopp.

"…………"

"…………"

Amidst the roaring cheers of thousands of spectators, the song ended, and the light particle projection also came to an end in an appropriate rhythm.

Kojiro smiled slightly. He was born into a noble family and already had a good appearance and temperament.

Facing thousands of spectators, the potential charm in him was stimulated.

Kojiro suddenly raised his arm and pointed his finger towards the sky to make the shape of a pistol.

Whoosh~!!!

Peng!!!!

A firework huge enough to illuminate the entire island suddenly burst into flames in the sky.

Kojiro picked up the phone:

"I declare..."

"The main event of the Pokémon League Tournament has officially begun!!!"

"Let us welcome the first group of contestants of this game..."

"Nefertari Kobra vs. Blackfoot Sanji!!!"

"That's it! Meow!"

Miao Miao finally said something to show her presence.

At the scene, after hearing Kojiro reveal the first group of contestants, the audience suddenly burst into uproar.

"What!? His Majesty Kobra is the first to appear again!? Did he buy it?"

"Don't be embarrassed, brother, 16 to 8 is the knockout round. Sanji, the new Four Heavenly Kings, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If he really bought it, he would have spent the money unjustly!"

"Hahahahaha..."

"…………"

"…………"

Because of his unfavorable performance at the beginning of the preliminary round, even though Suicune defeated the opponent's two bond evolution players with invincibility in the next two matches, the audience at the scene would still be affected by the first impression when they looked at Kobra.

Look at him through colored glasses.

Under the gaze of everyone, Kobra showed a faint smile.

There was no way around it. As the first contestant to appear in the preliminary round, his own performance was really poor and even seriously delayed Suicune's retreat. He could understand the mood of the audience at this time.

but……

Suddenly, a smile flashed in Kobra's eyes.

He deliberately hid the evolved form of his bond with Suicune, wasn't it just for this day!?

Cobra is no stranger to Sanji.

After all, when he opens a restaurant outside the war zone, he still has to go through the administrative review of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Cobra knew that Sanji was an excellent physical warrior, and his Pokémon Flame Chicken was also a Pokémon good at close combat.

If it were before the preliminary round, he might not be sure of fighting Sanji.

But now, he is full of confidence!

no way!

Suicune after the bond evolution is really too powerful!!!

Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Kobra and Sanji quickly stood on opposite sides of the ring.

Meow Meow in the host's seat put his face close to the microphone and announced:

"Pokémon League Tournament, 16 to 8 elimination rounds, the first game between Nefertari Kobra and Blackfoot Sanji, the battle begins!"

"Come out! Suicune!!!"

"Come on! Flame Chicken!!!"

The moment Meowth finished speaking, Sanji and Kobra threw the Poké Balls in their hands at the same time.

Under two red lights, two Pokémon suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

And just then!

A scene that stunned the audience appeared.

I saw Sanji and Cobra, the moment they summoned their Pokémon, they suddenly stood up straight and shouted towards the battlefield:

"Burn to your heart's content! Flame Chicken!"

"Suicune! Show your power!"

"Bond Evolution!!!"×2

The two of them didn't hesitate at all, and immediately started the bond evolution in the first second of the battle.

You know, during the preliminary round, Sanji, like Kobra, had never shown the bond evolved form.

No one expected that the two of them would directly evolve their bond at the beginning of the battle!

In fact, it is not surprising that this situation occurs.

Cobra, who had seen the powerful strength of Sanji and Flame Chicken, was worried that he would be instantly killed by the opponent's combo like he did when fighting Lauren, so he immediately entered the bond evolution state to add one to his weak self.

layer insurance.

And Sanji's ideas are very similar to Kobra's.

When he learned that his opponent was Kobra, Sanji actually didn't feel relaxed at all.

After all, even after the bond evolves, the combat power of the Flame Chicken is only around level 65, which is not much different from Suicune's strength.

With the expectation that Kobra may have mastered the evolution of bonds, he must be prepared for a tough battle.

Wow!!!

Two lights of evolution bloomed on the stage.

In an instant, two brand new Pokémon appeared on the ring!

Feeling the sudden burning power in the body, blending with the power of his own blood, releasing an even more powerful and terrifying power.

Sanji, whose head was on fire as if he was furious, slowly raised his head, sparks of fire flashing in his eyes.

Under the firelight, a pair of extremely calm pupils were revealed.

"Is it bound to the evolved Suicune?"

Having transcended the bonded evolution state of the Flame Chicken, Sanji could see Suicune's new form across from him at a glance.

After evolving through the bond with Kobra, Suicune now changed from his previous lightness and agility, and his whole body's temperament instantly changed.

Suicune, who had always had a peaceful face, now suddenly revealed his calm and majestic aura as a king!

In any case, Kobra is also the king of the Kingdom of Alabasta, and has the blood of the Nefertari clan flowing in his body!

No matter how kind he is, no matter how friendly he is to his subordinates...

As one of the twenty clans that founded the World Government, Nefertari Kobra's bloodline also carries the nobility and majesty of the royal family.

The nobility and majesty flowing in this bloodline just cater to the divine beast bloodline in Suicune, allowing it to officially evolve from an ordinary Suicune into the "Incarnation of the North Wind" worthy of the name of [Divine Beast]!

"It's not a good thing!"

Feeling the majestic aura released from Suicune, Sanji's brows suddenly furrowed.

He could feel that Suicune at this time was more than a little stronger than him and the Flame Chicken!

In other words, after the bond evolved, the opponent had already crossed the threshold and entered the level 70 queue.

but……

Although he doesn't like to face difficulties, there is also a noble knight hidden in Sanji's heart that no one can underestimate!

"Let's go first, the flame chicken!"

There was a flash of fire in his eyes, and Sanji immediately let out a soft drink.

There is no need for any words, the same mind under the bond evolution allows them to react instantly.

The two figures wrapped in flames disappeared in an instant, leaving only a blazing fire and lightning in the sky.

This move is exactly one of the navy's strongest six-style physical skills - shaving!

Thanks to Crick and Akin, with their continuous efforts, Sanji, the restaurant owner, finally collected enough points and purchased two copies of [Navy Six Styles·Shaving Tips].

Although what he purchased was just an introductory experience, under his continuous practice with the Flame Chicken, the two of them, who already had strong leg strength, had already mastered the shaving technique like a fire!

only……

Looking at the two figures that suddenly disappeared, Cobra didn't show any panic.

After all, there are too many people who can use this trick on this field!

"Suicune, use Loud Roar!!!"

Cobra shouted loudly and used the new move he bought from Lin Luo six days ago.

"Ouch~!!!"

Suicune, who instantly understood Kobra's intentions, immediately let out a dragon roar.

All of a sudden!

In its mouth, a black-purple energy light ball appeared and kept getting bigger!

Roaring loudly, a special move with evil attributes, attacks the enemy with condensed energy. If the enemy is in an attacking state, the special power of roaring will affect the enemy and make the opponent cancel the idea of ​​attacking; if the enemy is not in an attacking state, the enemy's

Decreased desire to attack.

Although the evil attribute is not Suicune's main attribute, it is not even a secondary attribute...

But after the bond evolved, even a casual blow from Suicune is enough to destroy the world.

What's more, after learning the lesson from Lauren's battle, Suicune will never hold back against the enemy again. Every attack will be a full blow!

Just as Suicune was gathering his strength, two figures wrapped in flames suddenly appeared in the void, attacking Kobra with unparalleled momentum.

"Cha! (Fire Kick!)"

"Fire Demon Wind Feet·Thigh Meat!"

Sanji and the Flame Chicken were like a blazing fire, bombarding Kobra.

But right now!

Even though a huge dark purple energy ball flew out, it stopped right in front of the two of them.

The huge energy ball suddenly enveloped Sanji and the Flame Chicken.

Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion sounded!

Peng!!!

The energy ball of the loud roaring move exploded, knocking back Sanji and the Flame Chicken who were about to attack.

"Pooh!"

After landing, Sanji spat out a mouthful of unwarranted saliva and immediately wiped the corners of his mouth, his thoughts of attack disappearing instantly.

This is the evil attribute!

The magical power to directly control the enemy's thoughts!

Unfortunately, there is not much evil energy in Suicune's body, so the damage of this move is not much, and it has little impact on Sanji and the others.

But it doesn't matter.

The reason why Cobra asked Suicune to use this move was just to make Sanji understand...

Trying to win by sneak attack on him is no longer possible!

Sanji grinned, looking helpless and excited at the Flame Chicken, and then murmured:

"What a pity. I thought I could win easily this way."

Sanji suddenly loosened his tie, which was not damaged in the blazing flames, with a look of madness on his face.

"In this case……"

"Then we can only choose to break through head-on!!!"

Swish! Swish!

With the sound of two piercing sounds, Sanji and the Flame Chicken disappeared from the battlefield again.

A battle between top powerhouses officially begins at this moment!

"Suicune! Use Rainmaker!"

Kobra took the lead and created a field advantage for himself.

"Ouch~!"

Following Suicune's buzzing sound, the clear sky suddenly turned gloomy.

In less than a second, the heavy rain was already pouring down!

In the rain curtain, two red figures could be vaguely seen, stepping on the wet marble floor, flying forward like sharp arrows.

It's still the same moves, the same routine.

Only this time, the target Sanji and the others were rushing towards had changed from Kobra to Suicune.

Facing the violent attack, Suicune's eyes turned serious, not daring to show any contempt.

It is very clear that in terms of attack speed alone, the opponent is still ahead of itself.

Without Kobra's instructions, Water Lord automatically activates the move - Frozen Wind!

Phew~

The cold wind that covered the sky suddenly covered the entire arena.

The ground that was already wet by rain was instantly covered with a layer of ice as smooth as a mirror.

tread!

The soles of Sanji's and Flame Chicken's feet stepped on the ice, instantly crushing the ice.

Affected by the ice, their speed also slowed down slightly.

"Got you!"

Suicune's eyes bloomed with blue light, shining like ice crystals.

Move - Absolute Zero!!!

Peng!!!Boom!!!

The extreme low temperature and the soaring flames collided together, instantly erupting into a violent shock wave that spread in all directions.

Between the auditorium.

Seeing the roaring impact storm outside the transparent protective barrier, the expressions of Crocodile, Doflamingo and other powerful men completely changed at this moment.

They finally understood why the previously brilliant competition was called the preliminary round.

Because the contestants in the main match are as powerful as two people with the strength they showed in the previous battles!

Looking at Suicune, Sanji, and Flame Chicken in the arena...

The corners of Dover's mouth twitched.

At this moment, he had realized that if it were him and one of the trainers standing in the ring, he was really not sure who the winner of this battle would be.

He had to admit that both sides fighting on the field seemed to have more terrifying power than him!

"So this is the real power of Pokémon!?"

Doflamingo couldn't help but murmur softly.
