Pirates: I, who cultivated phantom beasts, made myself emperor

Im, whose body was covered with pipes, stopped talking, closed his red pupils again, and remained motionless on the recliner, like a corpse that had been dead for hundreds of years.

The entire underground laboratory fell into silence again, and only the busy footsteps of hundreds of people in white could be heard.

These people in white usually work more complexly, and at the same time they also represent the highest technological fields in the world. Most of their research is on genetic engineering related to devil fruits.

It was here that they assisted Vegapunk in solving the transmission conditions of Devil Fruit, discovered the blood factor, and also developed the first artificial Devil Fruit here.

As well as various other researches on human beings such as giant experiments, anti-virus suits, and mechanical modification experiments, every research here is something that the outside world cannot even imagine.

Some of them came voluntarily, and some were forced to come, but they all have one thing in common, they are all geniuses with an IQ of over [-].

When they first arrived, those who were forced to come here had the idea of ​​dawdling and living here day by day. However, as time went by, the research results they obtained shocked even themselves.

No scientist in the world can refuse to have their hypothesis confirmed. More and more research discoveries are coming out, which unknowingly inspires the unique arrogance of scientists in their hearts.

Slowly, everyone is involved in research. They don't care about worldly affairs. They just want to do their own research.

From time to time, these people in white would look at the fire phoenix. Even though they were wearing insulating suits and fully armed, they could clearly feel the heat in the air.

Some people's sweat flows down their legs and fills up their feet. Their feet sway when they walk, and it won't take long for them to have to drain water.

Several researchers in white clothes in the corner looked at each other and talked quietly.

"Did you see that, that little girl is really pitiful. This must be the third time she has turned into a flame bird, right?"

"Yeah, it's the third time, and it's getting hotter here every time. We're even wearing insulated clothes and it's so hot. The temperature outside is at least over [-] degrees, let alone the temperature near the Firebird. I don't even think about it. Don’t dare go near there.”

"That little girl is no longer a human being, she's just a ball of fire. What's so pitiful? She's so hot that she's killing me. The laboratory is such a big place and there's no place to cool down.

I pity her, who will pity me? "

Several people were silent. It was indeed getting hotter and hotter these days. Especially today, it was so hot that they couldn't bear it. Even the desert at noon would be a little cooler than here.

In the middle of the football field-sized laboratory, the flaming phoenix grew bigger and bigger, and its screams echoed throughout the underground space.

As the crimson flame wings were fanned, circles of flames spread rapidly around, the air became distorted, and under the wash of heat waves, all surrounding items were reduced to ashes.

The red flames scorched the surrounding ground black, emitting black smoke and emitting a pungent smell of burning.

Dr. Vegapunk stood behind the insulated glass with a serious look on his face. He stared at the red light flashing energy grid on the screen, narrowed his eyes and said solemnly:

"It's coming back to life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the thickened insulated glass in front of him clicked, and fine cracks appeared, covering the entire glass in an instant.

boom!

There was a loud noise, and red light flashed throughout the laboratory.

The fire phoenix looked up to the sky and let out a shrill scream. Its two ten-meter-long flame wings slowly closed in front of it, and then suddenly opened, spraying a huge heat wave around.

The crimson flames instantly distorted the air, like a volcano erupting, and surged around. In an instant, all the experimental equipment encountered was swallowed up and submerged in the sea of ​​fire.

The researchers in white clothes looked at the surging sea of ​​fire with wide eyes, yelled and ran away, their eyes full of fear.

It's just that their escape speed was a little too slow in front of this sea of ​​fire. In an instant, they were submerged in the flames, their whole bodies struggled hard, and they screamed pitifully.

For a moment, the laboratory turned into a sea of ​​fire, with screams and ghosts crying and wolf howling, like a sea of ​​fire in hell.

There was a slight vibration on the ground a hundred meters above, and a burst of dust was stirred up in the ruins. An already shaky wall lost its balance and collapsed.

Dr. Vegapunk looked at the sea of ​​​​fire in front of him, his eyes widened, and his eyes were red. Even if he was about to face death, he did not take a step back, but showed a surprised look.

When the sea of ​​​​fire was half a meter away from him, a black spherical barrier instantly enveloped him. The front of him became pitch black, and he could not feel the hot air from the outside world. He seemed to be isolated from the outside world. He murmured:

"Why is this little girl's flame getting stronger and stronger? The intensity was more than doubled when she was resurrected last time. It's impossible. Logically speaking, the less immortal power she has, the weaker her flame ability should be. That's right, what's the point?

Is there some secret to this devil fruit that I don't know about? "

When the crimson flames rushed towards Im on the recliner, they seemed to encounter a wall of air and automatically bypassed Im and rushed behind. Im closed her eyes and frowned slightly.

What kind of phantom beast is this? Can it really be immortal?

But the power of immortality is almost draining me, isn’t it?

Im sighed, still unable to understand.

Red flames like magma filled the entire laboratory. The red light of the fire phoenix flashed and transformed into the appearance of Tuanzi. Only the flames on the naked Tuanzi transformed into a red gauze dress, which floated with the heat wave below. Like a fire spirit in flames.

Tuanzi has disheveled hair, his jade-white feet are touching the surface of the sea of ​​flames below, a pair of dozens of meters long flame wings behind his back are slowly flashing, and a pair of eyes are shining with red flames.

She slowly turned her head and looked at Im on the recliner, slowly raised her slender arm, made a sword with one hand and pointed at Im, and said sarcastically:

"I am the immortal!"

Then her sword finger suddenly pointed toward the void in front of her, and the entire sea of ​​​​fire under her feet instantly surged and boiled, and the flames from all directions rushed towards Im.

In an instant, the sea of ​​​​fire engulfed Im on the lounge chair, and the flames surged into the sky.

Im lay down without getting up, with a calm face. The raging sea of ​​fire stopped one meter away from him, as if there was an invisible wall of air blocking the flames.

He opened his mouth slightly and blew out a stream of black smoke, which swirled to form a black circle. The inside of the circle was extremely dark, without any light, and exuded a mysterious aura, like an entrance to another world.

Then the black hole emitted an astonishing suction force, sucking in all the surrounding sea of ​​fire. After a few breaths, the sea of ​​​​fire in the entire laboratory completely dissipated.

"Black Snake Binding Spirit!"

Im's lips moved slightly, and a plain voice sounded. The black hole that was incompatible with the surrounding space twisted and transformed, forming a phosphorescent snake, shaking its tail, and rushed towards Tuanzi.
