Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 387 You Eat Me, I Eat You~ (ask for monthly ticket~)

"I don't know what you want to do though..."

"But what I want to tell you is...it's all in vain!"

"The gap in strength between you and me cannot be made up by some small tricks."

"I don't think there's any need to continue this battle. Why don't you come back to Marijoa with me..."

"Maybe I can arrange a good job for you. It will definitely be much better than being a pirate now!"

Looking at the confident Brook in front of him, the evil spirit fire in Abyss Saint's eyes jumped.

He suddenly gained the ghost attribute of Pokémon and felt unprecedented power. He really couldn't understand how Brook was going to harm him.

But it must be said that he had never had such a good experience!

To the point that he even thought about capturing Brooke and making him his assistant or something.

A guy who can infinitely produce delicious bones and make himself stronger is really tempting~
"Yohohoho~"

"Thank you very much for your appreciation, but unfortunately... I will never leave the Straw Hat Pirates in this lifetime!"

"On the contrary... Your Excellency should worry about your own situation."

Ghost Brook replied in a calm tone.

But when he finished his last sentence, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes glowed with a strange dark purple light.

That is... a light belonging to ghost energy.

Brooke continued to laugh and said, "It's too early to be happy, but it won't end well~!"

"Shadow... sneak attack!!!"

Call ~
The cold Netherworld Fire instantly surged up from Brook's body, covering the entire area and completely blocking the sight of Saint Abyss.

"What tricks are you playing again?!"

"You bastard who refuses to drink the toast and drinks the forfeit!!!"

Hearing Brook still talking nonsense, Abyss Saint immediately swung the huge sickle in his hand angrily.

The pitch-black Armament Hado attached itself to it, dyeing it inky black and making it sharper than metal.

And with every swing of his sword, a violent gust of wind flew out from his scythe and pierced into the raging flames not far away.

In the end, countless slashing storms formed a storm that was even more powerful than the soul flame formation released by Brook, roaring and engulfing all the flames.

In the blink of an eye, the soul flame in the storm was cut into countless points of light and disappeared in the air like stars in the morning light.

But the next second, the originally arrogant Abyss Saint was visibly stunned.

Just because at this moment, when the storm sweeping the soul flame disappeared, Brook in front of him also disappeared!

Looking at the empty battlefield, Saint Abyss suddenly felt something was wrong.

Immediately, he increased the release of his Observation Haki, trying to find out where Brook was hiding.

But at this moment, a huge ghost in the shape of a skeleton suddenly emerged from the shadow of the skeleton behind him, its eyes flashing with a strange purple light.

"Are you looking for me, Lord Celestial Dragon!?"

Brook, who emerged from the Abyss Saint Shadow, asked grimly.

At the same time, his arms suddenly gushed out a large amount of soul flames formed by ghost energy, and quickly formed a soul-destroying sword of the same style as his staff sword, and stabbed directly at the head of Saint Abyss.

puff...

With a steady sound, the several-meter-long sword suddenly pierced into Saint Abyss's brain and came out from the center of his forehead.

Then a tragic scream suddenly resounded throughout the entire island of Elegia.

"what!!!!"

Saint Abyss suddenly let out a shrill scream, as if he had suffered some cruel torture.

Without waiting for Brook to take back the Soul-Destroying Sword in his hand, he hurriedly stomped his feet, ran forward a few steps quickly, and took the initiative to break away from Brook's attack.

Then he immediately turned around, with a miserable look on his face as if he was about to cry, and questioned Brook in disbelief, holding his head.

Shadow Sneak, with a power of up to 120 points, is one of the ghost-type moves with the strongest attack effect!

The effect is to sneak into the enemy's shadow, launch a surprise attack on the enemy, and ignore any defense.

It has displacement, high damage, and built-in defense-breaking effect...

Apart from the fact that it consumes a bit too much physical strength and energy, this move can be said to be perfect.

This is also a powerful ghost-type move that Red specially created for Brook.

It is precisely because he knows how much Red and his friends have sacrificed for him that Brook wants to prove to everyone even more...

Their efforts were not in vain!!!
He has become a...

A sharp blade that can clear all obstacles for the Straw Hat Pirates!!!

"What the hell did you do to me, you bastard!?"

On the other side, Saint Abyss, who had been holding his head in pain for a long time, seemed to have finally recovered.

He suddenly raised his head and roared at Brooke angrily.

"Yohohoho~"

"Isn't this exactly what you call... an insignificant little trick!?"

Brook swung the Soul-Destroying Sword in his hand, raised his head and looked directly at the Saint of Abyss, and answered in a frivolous tone.

"Lowly ants!"

Abyss Saint shouted again in anger:

"I will make sure you die without a burial place!!!"

Rumble, rumble...

The huge skeleton once again ran across this land filled with the breath of death, raising huge clouds of smoke and dust.

He also raised the huge sickle in his hand high and was about to chop it towards Brook's body.

But just as the sickle was about to fall, Brook's voice once again reached the ears of Saint Abyss.

"Do you think... ordinary attacks will still work on me now?"

"Yohohoho~"

Brooke laughed softly in a low voice.

The next second, his figure disappeared again.

Although Shadow Sneak consumes a lot of energy, it is not a difficult move for Brook, who has already turned into a spirit.

Simply using the same moves to attack repeatedly would make it easy for the enemy to see through your flaws.

So this time, Brook, who had used Shadow Attack, did not use this powerful move to attack again. Instead, he used another move that Red specially matched for him...

"Shadow Theft!!!"

Swah——

Brook suddenly disappeared and reappeared without waiting for the huge sickle to fall, and suddenly swept across the body of Abyss Saint with his soul.

At the same time, a strange ball of light that was condensed and shaking suddenly appeared in his palm.

As for Abyss Saint, whose figure was passed by Brook, there was an obvious pause in his movements, and then he stopped in place in shock.

If someone was standing right in front of Saint Abyss at this moment, they would definitely notice his face full of shock and disbelief.

“Just now…what was that!?”

The emotion of fear appeared for the first time in this arrogant member of the Knights of God.

He turned around immediately, only to see Brook pinching the strange halo in his hand with two fingers and swallowing it in one gulp.

Then Brook looked at Saint Abyss with a strange look again.

In a calm tone that made Abyss Saint feel terrified, he said softly:
"Now...it's my turn!"

now you!?
What do you mean it's your turn?! As usual, Abyss complained in his mind about Brook's performance of not finishing his words.

But at the same time, he had a vague guess in his heart that made him feel very scared.

That was the unknown object that Brook had just swallowed, and it seemed to be his own soul! ?
Saint Abyss was shocked by his own guess.

He had always been the one eating other people's bones, never thought that one day...

I actually encountered an opponent who ate other people's souls! ?
But Brook on the opposite side obviously didn't intend to give him too much time to react. His entire soul turned into a burning flame again and then disappeared on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Saint Abyss's already white face suddenly became even paler.

In fact, his guess was not wrong!
What Brooke just swallowed was indeed his soul power.

But his worries were unnecessary.

Because this soul power was not permanently separated from his body, it was only temporarily deposited in Brook's body.

After all, the effect of the Yomiuri Fruit is only to allow Brook to communicate with Yomiuri, but it cannot make him become Yomiuri.

The reason why the Abyss Church showed such fear was all intentional by Brook.

Shadow Stealing has the same effect as Shadow Sneak, both of which allow you to sneak into the enemy's shadow and launch attacks on the enemy.

However, compared to the power increase and defense-breaking effect brought by Shadow Sneak, the damage caused by Shadow Steal to the enemy is much smaller.

Instead...

But it is a unique ability that comes with shadow stealing!
[Steal the soul power of others, absorb it for a short period of time, and amplify your own soul power].

This is the effect description of the Shadow Steal move.

Soul power has many functions. It can increase control over the body, strengthen perception, and resist mental shocks such as momentum and pressure...

It can be said that soul power is a very comprehensive ability.

So after the successful theft, Brook also successfully obtained all-round enhancement.

Unfortunately……

This move can only be used once on the same target.

If used again after success, it will only cause slight damage to the enemy and will no longer be able to plunder the soul power.

Otherwise, just relying on the effect of Shadow Stealing, Brook could hollow out the body of Saint Abyss.

But it doesn't matter.

The more powerful the enemy is, the more soul power he can steal.

Today, his strength has been greatly improved again after becoming a Pokémon.

A gleam of bright light flashed in his eyes.

I only heard Brook imitate the previous Abyss Saint, swallowing greedily, and then whispered:
"The banquet is about to begin~"

"Enjoy yourself, Celestial Dragon."

"You...don't come over!!!"

Looking at Brook approaching him again, at this moment, Abis Saint had no intention of continuing to fight.

He was seen taking steps backwards one after another, and his hands, which were holding the sickle, began to tremble uncontrollably.

However, at this point, there was no way Brook would listen to what he said.

The soul flame burst out from his body again.

Still the same way, still the same scene.

When the sweeping flames disappeared again, Brook's figure unexpectedly disappeared from Abis Saint's sight again.

"Where!?"

Like a frightened deer, the huge skeletal body of Saint Abyss suddenly jumped, as if trying to escape from its own shadow.

But at this moment, a strong gust of wind suddenly appeared above his head.

This time, the disappearing Brook did not use any Pokémon moves. Instead, he adopted the simplest method and jumped directly into the sky.

It’s a pity that Saint Abyss, who had already developed a stress response, didn’t notice this at all.

But when Brook's attack was complete, he realized it was too late!

"Shadow Bones·Soul's Death Sword·Drunk Bottle Dance·Consecutive Attacks!!!"

rustling rustling...

In mid-air.

A large amount of ghost energy suddenly gushed out of Brook who fell from the sky, and quickly wrapped around the long sword he condensed with soul flames.

In an instant, a skeleton appeared in the Soul-Destroying Sword, which originally had no substance, making the Soul-Destroying Sword in Brook's hand even sharper and harder.

Clang! ! !
The bone blade wrapped in soul flames suddenly fell down, hitting the raised head of Saint Abyss, right in the center of his forehead.

The next moment, Brook's body seemed to be fixed in mid-air.

The sharp blade in his hand was like raindrops, shuttling back and forth madly, but all concentrated on one point and fell on the head of Saint Abyss.

Click... click...

However, in a moment of distraction, an obvious crack appeared on the skeleton of Abyss Saint, which had been strengthened countless times by the power of the Hungry Skull Fruit.

The hard skeleton body that Saint Abyss was most proud of was broken head-on for the first time!
This was a huge blow to Saint Abyss.

But before the fear in his heart could fully surge out, the severe pain made him scream miserably again.

The absence of flesh and blood does not mean the absence of pain.

After transforming into a hungry skeleton, the Abyss Saint's skeleton is everything to him.

Just like the user of the Island-Island Fruit who turns into an island, all attacks on his bones are attacks on him personally.

"what!!!!"

Abyss Saint screamed again.

But at this moment, Brook seemed to be enjoying this moment. He kept pointing the sword in his hand desperately, with no intention of stopping.

Shadow Bone, a physical attack move whose power is even lower than the previous Shadow Steal.

But when this seemingly ordinary attack moves is combined with Brook's swordsmanship...

Everything became incredible.

As for Brook's swordsmanship, although it does not have high damage, it is far inferior to Zoro or even many swordsmen on the sea.

But one thing is...

Brook's sword is incredibly fast!!!

It was precisely by utilizing his swordsmanship ability that Chihong specially developed the Shadow Bone move for him.

Just because the side effect of Shadow Bone is...

There is a certain probability of reducing the opponent's defense!
Red had tested this move with Brook before.

The probability of the Shadow Bone's side effects is not low, and the reduction in enemy defense is absolutely significant.

And such a move, coupled with Brook's extremely fast swordsmanship...

It is entirely possible to break the opponent's defense in a short period of time, and then vent all attacks on the opponent!

shuh...

Seeing that the huge sickle was about to swing towards him, Brook had no desire to fight and simply leaped into the air with the help of the recoil force from the Soul-Destroying Sword, escaping the opponent's attack.

At this moment, the Abyss Saint in front of Brook has completely become a minnow who has lost part of his soul power, his body has become sluggish, and he has been continuously attacked by the Shadow Bones. His defense has been reduced to almost zero, and he has to bear double damage.

"That's why I said..."

"I told you not to be happy too soon..."

Brook's faint voice rang out again, and began to echo in this land of death.
