Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 328 Artificial Pokémon - Vulcan Moth (asking for monthly votes~)

"I see, so you guys are going to stay with the Revolutionary Army for the time being?"

"Come to think of it, Coby is indeed very suitable for the Revolutionary Army, maybe this is a very correct decision for his life!"

Fishman Island, Sea Forest.

After a busy day, Red answered the call from Yixiao at the agreed time.

Because the Den Den Mushi in the Pirate World does not have the function of missed call display, Red made an agreement with Buggy, Yixiao and a group of supernovas to call each other at a certain interval.

After hearing that Coby wanted to join the Revolutionary Army and participate in the Liberation War, Red was not surprised at all.

It can even be said that...when he sent Yixiao to replace the Straw Hat Pirates to hand over to the Revolutionary Army, he had already thought of this.

It's just that he originally thought that Yixiao would directly join the Revolutionary Army.

The process was slightly different from what he imagined.

But this is normal.

After all, who would have thought that the most righteous organization in the world has a close relationship with the Straw Hat Pirates! ?

The leader of the Revolutionary Army, Boss Dragon, is Luffy's biological father.

The second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army and the future leader, Sabo, is Luffy's sworn brother.

Although Sabo has not recovered his memory due to the death of Ace as in the original timeline, it is only a matter of time for Akari to recover his memory.

In other words, the Revolutionary Army and the Straw Hat Pirates are brothers who wear the same pants. Even if Yixiao is asked to help, it is the right thing to do.

After briefly understanding the current situation of the Revolutionary Army, Akari hung up the phone.

Under the dark night, mosquitoes that were brought to Fishman Island by foreign ships at some point buzzed softly around the night lights on the deck of the Merry.

In the training ground in the distance, one or two shouts of hardworking people from the Straw Hat Corps could be heard from time to time.

Everything is so prosperous, quiet and peaceful.

However, at this moment...

"It's done!!! I did it!!!"

"Wahahaha~"

"My uncle Usopp is indeed the most talented person in the world!!!"

In the quiet night, from a dense forest far away from the Merry, an extremely arrogant laugh suddenly came out.

Although there was a certain distance from the Merry, because of the quietness of the night and the superhuman physical fitness of Red, he still clearly heard Usopp's shout.

"It's done!?"

Red, who was about to select two diligent Straw Hat Corps to take them into the game world to practice the level, suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the laughter.

"Could it be..."

A hint of doubt and surprise flashed in Red's eyes with a calm expression.

The next moment, his body took a step back and stepped into the other-dimensional cave.

And when he appeared again, he had come to a damp and dark cave on the ground.

This is the larvae breeding base specially created by Usopp to cultivate special insects.

In order to create a variety of different breeding environments, he and Franky even built several energy devices that can use evolution stones to release fire, ice, lightning, and life breath.

At this time, Usopp stood outside a huge metal door, looking at the situation on the other side of the door excitedly through the round special glass.

"Did the experiment succeed, Usopp?"

Seeing that Usopp did not notice his appearance, Red stepped forward and asked.

Usopp, who was excited, seemed to have guessed that Red would appear. He did not even turn his head, but waved and shouted:

"That's right! Come here, Red!!!"

"Look..."

"This is what I created - miracle life!!!"

"Oh?"

Red walked to Usopp's side with curiosity, and looked at the laboratory behind the metal door with him.

What came into view was a blazing fire!

The blazing flames continued to burst out from every corner of the laboratory, as if to burn everything to ashes.

On the table in the middle of the laboratory, there was a large piece of charcoal-like residue and a pile of large insect pupae that were burning and wriggling wildly.

These insect pupae had circles of flame-like patterns on their bodies, and each one was more than one meter long.

At a glance, there were thousands of them.

"These are the pupae of the Flame Butterfly~!"

At this time, Usopp took the initiative to introduce them to Red.

Although most of these insects had been in Red's hands before, after all, he had given so many insects the identity of Pokémon, and it was impossible for him to clearly remember the name and characteristics of each insect.

Usopp continued: "The Flame Butterfly is a special insect I found in the Black Lion Alliance base."

"The surface of this insect has a heat conductivity comparable to that of metal, and inside its body, it has a special organ that can store heat energy."

"When it encounters an enemy, it will release heat from the surface of its body to cause damage to the enemy."

"After my iterative hybridization and energy transfer, I have successfully developed a group of larger Flame Butterflies that can store more heat energy!"

"After being induced, the Flame Butterfly can successfully release the insect powder and heat energy in its body at the same time, creating external flames for fighting."

"After being granted the identity of Pokémon, its average single-unit strength is comparable to that of pirates with a bounty of several million Baileys!"

"Now these insect pupae in the laboratory are individuals with great potential that I have selected from countless larvae!"

"Before they are about to transform into butterflies, I put them all in the body warehouse and created an environment to reduce cell activity."

"Everything is for this final experiment in front of us!!!"

Usopp said proudly.

Being able to improve a powerful insect race in more than a month, this achievement is indeed worthy of pride.

Even if Usopp mobilized a large amount of medicines and various evolution stone resources from Red to complete the experiment.

But...

"So...what are you doing now!?"

Looking at the insect pupae that gradually lost their vitality under the burning flames and eventually turned into a member of the charcoal residue, Red asked curiously.

Usopp grinned in confusion.

"My original plan was to continue to optimize this population and cultivate a stronger Zerg by continuously increasing the temperature of the flames."

"But just now, I suddenly realized that I didn't have to wait any longer!"

Usopp's eyes flickered, and he stretched out his finger and pointed at the glass.

Red looked into the laboratory in the direction of his finger, and found that among the group of insect pupae, there was a unique individual!

Compared with other flame butterfly insect pupae that kept wriggling in the flames to survive, the flame pattern on this insect pupa was darker in color, and it looked more red than the flames burning around.

The most important thing is...

This insect pupa did not wriggle at all, but stayed there quietly, its body rising and falling as if it was breathing.

With super strong mental power, Red instantly "saw" a larva in the insect pupa that was constantly growing and metamorphosing.

The terrifying heat energy poured in from outside the pupa and poured into the body of the larva. Not only did it not cause burning and pain, but it was quickly absorbed by it and turned into special energy to supply life and growth.

Evolving in the flames!!!

Seeing this scene, such an idea flashed through Red's mind.

In fact, the special flame butterfly pupa was also undergoing such a process at this time!

From larvae to pupa, from pupa to butterfly, isn't it the evolution that exists in nature?

"Is this... genetic mutation!?"

Looking at the unique flame butterfly pupa, Red immediately became interested.

He suddenly stretched out his hand to summon an extra-dimensional hole, and then said to Usopp:

"Almost... transfer all the other pupae out."

"Cultivate them well, and another powerful Zerg army!"

"Then..."

Red's eyes flashed.

"Let me meet this mutant flame butterfly in person!"

...

...

Half an hour later...

Boom! ! !

Accompanied by a violent explosion, the entire flame laboratory was instantly shocked.

The next moment, a butterfly with wings more than one meter long suddenly flew out from the vortex of flames, and with it as the center, a hot flame halo gushed out again.

The two huge wings were as red as if rendered by flames, and there was a golden ripple like the scorching sun on the edge of the outline.

Its body was charred black, and it was unknown whether it was burned by the flames for too long and hurt the surface of the body.

"Finally out!?"

"It's still a genetic insect race with a flame vortex!?"

At the same time, a flying flame bird in the laboratory, Red, saw the flame butterfly in front of him successfully break out of the cocoon, and also changed into a human form and fell back to the ground.

After his test just now, this mutant insect pupa is indeed extraordinary!

Although it is unknown what degree of high temperature it can withstand, under the flames released by Red that can easily burn ordinary navy vice admirals, it not only showed no signs of injury, but also grew rapidly and accelerated the speed of breaking out of the cocoon!

"Squeak, squeak..."

The mutated flame butterfly that had just evolved successfully was stunned when it saw the red human figure.

Originally, it was thinking about thanking the big bird after it broke out of the cocoon.

How come the bird is gone in the blink of an eye? !

Although it has successfully mutated, it is obvious that insects are insects, and its intelligence and knowledge are still at the low level of the biological world.

Just as the flame butterfly was puzzled, Usopp, who saw the mutated flame butterfly breaking out of the cocoon, hurried into the laboratory.

As he released the insect energy familiar to the flame butterfly, the flame butterfly, which was still looking for the flame bird, instantly forgot everything and pounced on Usopp.

While attracting the pure nutrients that can make it grow quickly, it became intimate with Usopp.

Even though Usopp is very cruel to the Zerg, he casually takes tens of thousands of Zerg lives for experiments.

But this is the racial structure of the Zerg.

Among the Zerg, everything the Zerg King does is absolutely correct.

Even if they wanted to kill them and use their bodies as nourishment, the insect swarm could only obey.

After a long period of communication and orders from Usopp, the flame butterfly finally recognized Crimson's identity as a "Zerg trainer" and regarded him as a member of his own tribe with a special identity.

In this way, Flame Butterfly naturally became a Pokémon, and was brought into the Pokémon world by Red for a simple test.

I don’t know if I don’t test this…

The results of the Flame Butterfly test shocked even Chihong.

At the beginning, the properties panel of the Flame Butterfly looked like this:

[Pokémon: Flame Butterfly]

【Level: 12】

[Gender: Concave]

[Character: Irritability (+Speed-Defense)]

[Attributes: Insect, Fire]

[Characteristic: Body of Flame (When a Pokémon with this trait comes into contact with an enemy, it will release varying degrees of fire based on its own strength to cause additional damage to the enemy. In addition, Pokémon with this trait will It can emit special energy through the body to promote fertility and larval growth)]

[Skills: Sparks, Flame Vortex]

[Experience value: 0/375]

[Total attributes: 233]

Level 12, has an attribute value of 233 points, and also comes with two genetic skills.

Although he is no longer just born, being able to have such a high attribute panel at this level is enough to prove that Flame Butterfly's basic attribute talents are ranked above average even among the Straw Hat Pirates.

After a short period of power training by Chihong, the flame butterfly grew into a level 20 flame butterfly, and its attributes reached an astonishing 367!

Of course, it’s not the total attribute value of 367 that’s amazing.

But after every level up, Flame Butterfly can actually gain up to 16.5 points in total attribute growth!

You know...

Even for little Chopper, the attributes he adds each time he levels up are only 16 points!

Such a scene is enough to prove the success of Usopp's "Zerg Genius" cultivation plan!

…

…

"Is there really no problem, Chihong!?"

In the laboratory, Usopp held up a Devil Fruit with flame feather patterns all over its body and protective wings on each side, with a nervous expression on his face.

Although he had already brought the fruit to Flame Butterfly, he still nervously asked Chi Hong again.

But Chihong showed an expectant look and smiled at Usopp:

"Don't worry! It's just a devil fruit from a fantasy beast species!"

"It's a waste anyway!"

"Being able to feed an individual as talented as Flame Butterfly is simply worth the money."

"I'm looking forward to it's performance after gaining the power of Suzaku!"

Powerful talent, strange fire absorption ability, and the Suzaku Fruit that is as famous as Kaido's Blue Dragon Fruit...

Chi Hong can almost predict it...

In the future, under the command of Usopp, the majestic appearance of Fang Qiu's flame butterfly will be blasted with flames that cover the sky!

"Right!"

Thinking of this, Chihong seemed to suddenly think of something, and spoke again:

"Now that this mutant flame butterfly has become an important general under your command, it should be renamed to distinguish it from other flame butterflies."

"Name it!?"

Usopp, who finally made up his mind to hand the Suzaku Fruit to Flame Butterfly, felt cold.

Immediately he asked Chihong directly:

"It really deserves a resounding name."

"Chihong, do you have any good ideas!?"

"Just an idea..." Chi Hong grinned and looked up and down at the flame butterfly that was sucking the Devil Fruit with its slender mouth, a funny glint flashed in its eyes.

"Since its own name is Flame Butterfly, now it has eaten the Suzaku Fruit, which is known as a mythical beast."

"Then I think it's better to call it..."

"Vulcan Moth!"
