Pokémon Breeder In One Piece!

"Alright."

Dak wasn't surprised by Esdeath's request.

This wasn't the first time someone had asked him to prove his strength. When he met Madara three months ago, the latter had made a similar demand.

After all, only the strong are credible.

Although Dak's greatest strength lay in his Pokémon, his personal abilities weren't to be underestimated.

At the very least, Pokémon below Champion level wouldn't dare challenge him.

"Watch closely."

Dak reached out and playfully tapped Esdeath on the head but stopped mid-action, remembering they were still in a town.

"Let's change locations."

Placing a hand on Esdeath's shoulder, they disappeared in an instant, reappearing on a grassland five kilometers outside the town.

"This..."

"That's the power of a psychic ability called Teleport."

Dak wasted no time introducing her to one of the abilities he planned to teach her.

"Impressive."

Esdeath's admiration was genuine. Such an ability could allow her to eliminate targets before they even realized she was there.

"Fire, wind, water, or ice—which of these elements interests you the most?"

Dak pondered for a moment before asking.

"…Ice."

Having grown up in the snowy north, Esdeath naturally had an affinity for ice.

Dak wasn't sure of Esdeath's chakra nature since she didn't yet possess chakra. However, given her connection to ice in her original world, he was confident she could awaken the Ice Release kekkei genkai.

"Alright."

Dak's chakra affinities were fire, wind, and water.

He had experimented with kekkei genkai before. Normally, combining two chakra natures was extremely difficult, but the Aura helped him reduce the conflict and view his chakra network clearly.

As a result, he had managed to create not only Ice Release but also Scorch Release and Boil Release in a short amount of time.

Though he hadn't developed specific jutsu for these abilities—thinking he wouldn't need them—it seemed he'd have to now to teach Esdeath.

At the very least, he needed to create a few basic jutsu for her to build upon. If necessary, he could enlist Kuzan to help develop ice techniques.

Under Esdeath's widening gaze, Dak ascended 20-30 meters into the air.

He could've flown higher but stopped at a height where Esdeath could still see him clearly.

"Let me think…"

After a moment of thought, Dak raised his right hand.

"Giant Rasengan!"

A massive, rotating chakra sphere formed in his palm.

"Infuse Ice Release chakra."

Crack, crack.

The chakra sphere turned icy blue, its once-smooth surface sprouting sharp ice spikes.

For ordinary shinobi, holding such a jutsu would result in severe injury. The ice spikes alone would pierce their hand.

The Rasengan was already a challenging technique to master. Further developing it typically elevated it to the level of forbidden jutsu.

However, as Dak planned to train Esdeath in physical resilience and the use of dual-colored Haki, she would eventually be able to handle such techniques without harm.

Adding a final touch, Dak infused Conqueror's Haki into the ice Rasengan.

The sphere began to emit dark red, lightning-like tendrils—physical manifestations of his Haki.

Though Dak could've incorporated Aura, psychic energy, or additional chakra elements, he saw no need for that complexity now.

Even if successful, the resulting technique would be beyond Esdeath's reach for years to come.

"This will do."

Satisfied, Dak glanced down at Esdeath, whose jaw was nearly on the ground. He then hurled the massive sphere toward the earth below.

Snap!

Rather than an earth-shattering explosion, the sound resembled shattering glass.

Though the auditory impact was minimal, the visual effect was staggering.

The once-endless grassland was transformed into an icy tundra, filled with jagged ice spikes and shimmering frozen terrain stretching over a kilometer. The dazzling reflection of the ice seemed to dim the entire world.

Esdeath wandered onto the frozen plain, making her way toward the center. There, she encountered an even more striking sight—a massive crater filled with countless menacing ice spikes, resembling a gaping maw ready to consume all.

By this time, Madara and the others had arrived.

Riding their Arcanine, they had covered the five kilometers in just a few minutes.

"Is this his full strength?"

Kakuzu asked Madara, staring at the icy expanse in astonishment.

None of them had ever seen Dak go all out, though they all knew he was incredibly powerful.

"No, he's not this weak," Madara replied flatly, shaking his head.

While the scene was impressive—enough to make ordinary people lose the will to fight—it was within an acceptable range for individuals like them.

Madara and his Arcanine could achieve similar feats, though their destructive power might not match Dak's display.

"Is that Ice Release? So Dak's been experimenting with kekkei genkai," Izuna noted, observing the icy terrain.

Having trained with Snow Clan students, Izuna was no stranger to Ice Release techniques.

"But why take an ordinary girl from another world as a disciple?"

Hanzo frowned.

While Esdeath's desire to grow stronger was commendable, Hanzo saw no extraordinary potential in her. As a leader who valued talent, he believed Dak's disciple should've been carefully chosen from within the Alliance.

"He's not the type to waste effort on someone without potential," Madara replied.

After all, Dak had identified the talents who now formed the Akatsuki's elite ranks. Even in a world where history had been altered, his selections consistently proved correct—a testament to his keen judgment.

"It's good enough that he's willing to take on a disciple. Let's not nitpick."

Izuna shrugged, appearing indifferent. "That said, one disciple might not be enough. Without competition, she might become complacent and develop bad habits."

"But having multiple disciples increases the risk of power struggles in the future."

"Even if that happens, at least they'll be familiar faces. Whether they succeed or fail, they'll still be Dak's disciples, which should help mitigate discontent among their supporters," Izuna reasoned.

At the center of the icy plain:

"So, do you want to be my disciple now?" Dak asked.

"Yes!"

Esdeath didn't hesitate this time. She bowed deeply. "Master!"

"Good. From now on, you'll alternate training across three worlds."

In the One Piece world, she would train her body and learn dual-colored Haki.

On Pokémon Island, she would develop psychic abilities.

In the Shinobi World, she would practice ninjutsu and attempt to awaken the Ice Release kekkei genkai. If that failed, they'd explore other elemental jutsu.

While Dak rarely used ninjutsu himself—his psychic powers sufficed—Esdeath wouldn't have that luxury. Diversifying her combat skills would only benefit her.

With years ahead before Dak stepped down, Esdeath would have ample time to train and grow.

"Three worlds?"

Esdeath looked puzzled.

"Oh, right."

Realizing she likely had no idea what was going on, Dak explained the situation in detail.

"If you want to return to your world…"

"I don't care," Esdeath interrupted, shaking her head.

Her tribe had been annihilated; she had no home to return to.

Besides, three worlds, Pokémon, countless abilities, and powerful fighters—how could her original world compare?

Her icy blue eyes sparkled with excitement. As a battle-obsessed girl, she couldn't ask for a better place to grow stronger.

She vowed to become the strongest in all worlds.

"Alright, stick with me for the next few days. I'll train you while handling other matters."
