Arceus’ Pirate Journey - Chapter 1472

Chapter 1453: On Robin and Hercules Luffy

“Is he going to play in person? What an unexpected idea.”

Looking at Luffy who was already warming up in the field, Waipa’s face showed some confusion. He felt that humans should be the last ones in the battle.

There are many Pokémon whose intelligence surpasses that of humans, but most Pokémon are just smart enough, and humans are better at tactical arrangements.

If a human is defeated first, the game will not end immediately, but it means that before this person wakes up, the subsequent battles will all depend on the Pokémon’s own judgment.

And because the venue is affected by Arceus’ power, people fighting inside cannot avoid it, so humans’ strength will be limited to a certain extent. For example, they cannot do sit-ups repeatedly, and they will be eliminated after reaching the standard for being considered a failure.

Waipa didn’t know how special the combination he was facing was. There were too many unexpected things in letting Luffy command the Pokémon. Hero planned to use Luffy’s own durability to further test the opponent’s strength. After all, those who could make it to the finals had enough cards on them.

“Are you my opponent? I’m ready, I must get the champion meal ticket!”

The air would suddenly become quiet sometimes, and the originally noisy arena would even become silent under Luffy’s loud voice. If nothing unexpected happened, he might be the player with the least ambition.

“So what is the Champion Meal Ticket?”

In the audience, the Straw Hat Pirates looked at each other in bewilderment. After all these years of competition, they had never heard of such a thing.

“Maybe he has made up something in his mind. He doesn’t think that this competition is the same as the carnival, and he can get a direct ticket to that planet.”

After thinking for a while, they came up with a more reasonable guess. According to Luffy’s single-cell thinking method, this kind of thing is possible.

However, the game will not be suspended because of this. Waipa has already sent out his first partner according to the pre-planned strategy.

“Go, Great Sword Demon, fight for our goal!”

Sky Island is an area with a very high degree of belief in the Cult of Arceus. They attach great importance to this royal martial arts performance. These Shandian people still maintain certain primitive habits, and the martial spirit is still popular. The same is true for the Pokémon on Sky Island.

Those giant Pokémon back then are now regional guardians, responsible for protecting the stability of certain areas.

Now the eight-headed dragon has flown to the starry sky together, Crocodile is acting as a mobile rescue team in the ocean, Serpentine is still staying on the sky island, and the other Pokémon have also gone to their own places, and they themselves are not within the scope of the competition.

If it weren’t for this reason, the monarch snakes from Sky Island would probably come here on their own initiative.

“Waipa chose Greatsword. This is the only Pokémon that Waipa has sent out so far. From the preliminaries to now, he has relied on this Greatsword alone to pass the level!”

A Pokémon that looked like a four-legged sea beast came to Luffy. It had long whiskers on its mouth and nose, conch-like horns on its head, and shell-like objects on its limbs and abdomen.

These shells are part of his body, and the shells on his forelimbs are special foot blades. The wrist guards on the lower part and the spikes on the upper part constitute the scabbards of the two swords and the hilts of the foot blades respectively.

Because part of the armor on the front paw of the Greatsword Demon turns into a huge sword, this type of Pokémon becomes a master of sword-drawing techniques, and this Greatsword Demon is completely different from ordinary Greatsword Demons.

Its body is more sturdy, like a heavily armored tank.

According to research, the sword paths of each Great Sword Ghost are different, but most of them take an upright path. The Great Sword Ghost of Xi Cui is more cruel and will do anything to win. And the one in front of him is a
“rubber pistol!”

Luffy threw a very iconic punch, but facing this tentative attack, the Great Sword Demon did not make any attempt to dodge, and Waipa did not issue any combat suggestions, but just stood there waiting for Luffy’s fist.

The fist made contact with the head, but the Great Sword Demon just tilted his head, and Luffy’s punch seemed to hit cotton, without causing any effect.

“Great Sword Ghost, use Pray for Rain to create a venue suitable for us first!”

The mysterious power surged to the sky, and dark clouds gathered in an instant. Although the audience seats were not affected, Melo, who was giving the commentary in the sky, was already shrouded by rain clouds. Fortunately, she had mermaid blood and was not affected at all.

“The Great Sword Demon opened the Rain Field, and then used the Water Cannon to force the opponent to move. After all, he is an ability user, and he is quite weak when facing water Pokémon.

You can see Luffy trying to get close to the Great Sword Demon, but his attack has no effect, and the Great Sword Demon blocks his attack in his own way! “

“Damn, this Pokémon is so weird, why are my fists useless?”

“Great Sword Demon! Now, Exploding Shell Blade!”

When Luffy swung his fist again, the Greatsword Demon also counterattacked. The foot blade on his arm popped out, and then he swung an X-shaped slash towards Luffy.

A sharp water blade flew out from the sword’s edge, and at the same time, a terrifying shock wave burst out through the shell.

Boom!
The loud noise even caused a crack in the island cloud below the ring, and this was the most special thing about the Great Sword Ghost.

When they are still in their initial form, water otters will have a shell on their stomachs. After evolving into double-edged pills, the shells will become two. These shells can be said to be part of their bodies and are vital.

On Sky Island, a special situation occurred among water otters. They integrated various special Sky Island shells into part of their bodies, and after evolution, the characteristics of these shells were also retained.

The great sword demon brought by Waipa has a specially enhanced repelling shell on its body, a very rare and almost extinct species of Sky Island shell.

The use of shellfish is a special culture of Sky Island. There are many kinds of shellfish on Sky Island, ranging from living furniture to combat weapons.

Among them, the impact shell is a combat shell that can absorb the impact and then release it. The repulsion shell is ten times stronger than the impact shell. The powerful recoil can even kill ordinary people directly.

Even the Great Sword Demon has evolved a more robust body in order to adapt to the powerful recoil of the Repelling Shells. The Repelling Shells on its body are its armor, which can absorb the enemy’s attacks and return them to the opponent.

“Haku! Luffy, take advantage of this moment. It will be paralyzed after using this move!”

During the preliminaries, Luffy was watching the fun while Hero was collecting information. Waipa relied on the Great Sword Demon to pass the level, and the Great Sword Demon’s fighting style was naturally exposed.

Just now, the Great Sword Demon was accumulating strength, but Hero was waiting for this opportunity. Similar to the Destruction Death Ray, the powerful power makes the move come at a cost. During this time, Luffy can easily hit the place outside the defense of the Strike Shell.

Although the shockwaves from the explosion of the Repulsor Shell shook Luffy’s blood and qi, it was not difficult for him to adjust. He even waved his arms with the feeling of his blood and qi surging, and directly entered the second gear form.

“Rubber jet rocket launcher!”

“The water bursts!”

During the period when Greatsword Demon was in a stiff state, Luffy’s attack hit the part of him that had no defense, successfully causing effective damage, and as soon as the stiffness ended, Greatsword Demon rolled up the water and hit Luffy.

The impact force of the repelling shell never disappeared out of thin air, so this greatsword demon had a very exaggerated pain tolerance. Because of the water system, Luffy even fell into a difficult battle for a certain period of time.

After all, Luffy’s fighting ability has always been erratic. Sometimes he is chased and shot by Batman, sometimes he can be evenly matched with Rob Lucci, and he can even be 1V2 with Kizaru in his left hand and the Five Elders in his right hand. According to common sense, he always has to fight hard when facing new opponents.

However, after a fierce fight, it was the Great Sword Demon who finally ran out of energy, allowing Luffy to win the first victory.

“The Great Swordsman fell for the first time. It seemed that Luffy’s tactics won. Then… Heracross called Luffy back and sent out Gyarados. It seemed that he wanted to take advantage of the rain left by the Great Swordsman.

The Wayipa player sent out the Monarch Snake, so let’s look forward to a more intense duel!”

After Hero’s analysis of the battle situation, he successfully defeated all of Waipa’s Pokémon with his team’s four Pokémon + one Luffy. At this time, the field had become the final showdown between Waipa and Luffy.

Although Wayipa wanted to win very much, he was judged as a loser due to the limitations of the competition environment.

At the same time, Robin on the other side also defeated her opponent. According to the classification of the players, she will directly face Luffy’s group in the next round.

“The commander is a Pokémon. But his own power is a bit troublesome. Do you think you can do it?”

“Souness~!”

“That’s good. I’m sorry, but this is the most effective way to win.”

“Souness!”

After careful consideration, Robin felt that he could not beat Luffy, but 7v7 itself was part of the rules. It was enough to win within the rules, and there was no way around it if necessary to exchange pieces.

So now, she had to bet on Hercule’s habits. Judging from the battle just now, Hercule seemed to be reducing Luffy’s chances of giving orders, so he let him participate in the game first, and Robin also made her own choice.

After a period of rest, the top four have been decided, and Robin has successfully faced Luffy. When Hercule saw the Pokémon sent out by Robin, his eyes suddenly became anxious.

With the help of the power of rules that Arceus had left on the field, Luffy’s shadow seemed to be controlled by some unknown force.

“Strange, what is this?”

“Hehe! Come back soon Luffy!”

Luffy heard Hercule’s call just after arriving at the arena. Although he didn’t understand why, he still chose to follow Hercule’s ideas and walked towards the waiting area. However, when he reached the edge, it was like he hit a wall of air and he couldn’t move at all.

“Eh? Is it a barrier? Hey, I can’t go back! Is there something wrong with that bubble referee?!”

Seeing that he was unable to follow the instructions, Luffy instinctively asked Mello, but the title of Bubble Referee made Mello a little irritated, so she answered Luffy in another way.

“Contestant Robin sent out a Pokémon with the Shadow-Stepping Ability! In this case, Contestant Luffy will not be able to decide how far this match will go!”

Either Luffy loses his strength, or the Pokémon sent by Robin falls to the ground or is taken back, otherwise the battle will not end. In a sense, the rules left by Arceus are to facilitate the use of some characteristics.

“Heka! [Don’t worry about it, defeat it as quickly as possible, hurry up!]”

Heluo anxiously issued the second order, but Robin was faster.

“As expected, we share the same fate.”

“Souness!”

In front of Robin, a blue teardrop-shaped Pokémon released a special power towards Luffy. Luffy felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if he was caught by something.

This feeling is exactly the effect of Goran’s skill hitting him. The effect of the same fate is very simple. If Luffy hits Goran, he will also lose physical strength because of this skill. It is a rule-based skill that can only be used in special competitions.

After all, Robin has studied the weaknesses of his own tactics. No matter whether it is the substitute poison or the shrinking slime, they all have a common weakness. Once they are knocked down by a strong enemy before the sequence of moves is activated, they will not be able to perform afterwards.

Robin knew that his fighting ability was not outstanding, so he specifically looked for a Golem with the shadow-stepping characteristic, with the purpose of taking away the opponent’s strongest fighting power.

Even if he didn’t encounter this situation, with Double Payback and Mirror Reflection in hand, he could still fight with his health advantage.

In the world of Pokémon, Team Rocket’s Goreng has a very impressive record, enough to compete with the Bear God.

“Souness~”

Sure enough, Ong squinted his eyes and looked at Luffy. As the saying goes, people with squinting eyes are monsters. Sure enough, Ong’s actions at this time were even quite sarcastic, and he even synchronized his expression with Robin.

“Hehe. [Damn black-bellied woman.]”

After all, Hero is just Heracross, and he has many deficiencies in calculations. He was careless this time. In terms of utilizing the stadium and the competition system, Robin is much better than him.

At this point, even Hero himself had no choice but to watch Luffy rush forward resolutely, and then be covered in circles by him.

“It’s a tactic of mutual destruction! Robin made a very decisive decision. She directly let Guran Weng take away the most troublesome character in the opponent’s camp with his life! Now Luffy’s team has lost an important fighting force!

Sure enough, the contestants who made it to the finals all had a lot of tricks up their sleeves. Robin caught Luffy off guard!
But the impact wasn’t particularly big. I believe everyone has already discovered that Heracross is the commander of the team! At this time, it has already begun to assign new contestants!”
