Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

"Tailed beast!?"

Looking at the inexplicable smile on the red face, Moriah suddenly felt curious.

"The tailed beasts are not real creatures in the real world!"

"You can think of them as fantasy creatures like Pokémon from the Pokémon world!"

"They are powerful monsters formed by the gathering of pure energy! Each one possesses strength beyond human imagination!"

"The strongest among them even possesses power that surpasses that of a navy admiral!"

"Marine Admiral!?"

Moriah's pupils suddenly dilated.

As the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they know better than anyone else how powerful the admirals of the navy are.

He is a truly strong man in the strategic sense, and also someone that even a proud person like Moria has to acknowledge and fear.

But in the next second, Moria's expression suddenly froze, and he suddenly realized...

The group of people in front of him had just defeated a naval admiral who was beyond his reach not long ago!

The huge mental gap made Moria once again realize the gap between them and the Straw Hat Pirates.

However, Chihong on the other side did not seem to notice his inner fluctuations, and just continued to explain with a smile:

"Of course, wanting to replicate creatures from the fantasy world in the real world is still too fantastical after all."

"But miracles are something that only happen if someone does it, right?!"

Having said that, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in his red eyes, flashing with anticipation and amusement.

He talked eloquently:

"Hogbak's control over biological structures, Franky's design of mechanical weapons, plus your Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability..."

"I believe that even if I can't create the legendary tailed beast, I can at least create a biological weapon that will amaze the world!"

"But……"

Hearing Chihong's plan, Moria's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt again.

"Mr. Chihong, although the strength of the zombies is closely related to the strength of the corpse, the strength of the shadow is also a key point that cannot be ignored."

"Even if we find a suitable beast corpse and create the tailed beast you mentioned, if there is no suitable shadow..."

"Don't worry about the shadow!"

Before Moria could finish his words, Chi Hong interrupted him with his hand:

"Don't forget, there are countless powerful sea kings at the bottom of the deep sea!"

"When the time comes, just let Lab catch a few sea kings and extract their shadows!"

"All the shadows will eventually obey your command anyway, so there's no need to worry about their intelligence or resistance."

"Also, there's no need to worry about the storage of sea kings."

"My partner, Usopp, is the user of the Storage Fruit. He can perfectly store all the sea kings and ensure their survival."

"In this case……"

Moria's expression suddenly became stunned.

But after hesitating for a while, he nodded in astonishment:

"In this case, it seems that there is indeed no problem."

Even though he has become a red Pokémon, seeing that Red has thought of everything, he only needs to make a tool to activate the fruit ability, and he can get a monster army...

This feeling of having everything without having to worry about it...

Isn’t it too cool?!

He is truly a trainer!

Seeing the gleam in Moria's eyes, the corners of his red mouth secretly rose.

What Tailed Beast Project? It's just a name he came up with casually.

His real purpose was actually to allow Hobgoblin and Franky to hone their skills and accumulate experience through the Tailed Beast Project.

then……

Using these experiences and technologies, we will carry out the first round of transformation and upgrades for Labu!

Previously, due to the limitations of his expertise, Kurokas only carried out simple pipe laying and planning in Lab's body to facilitate his actions inside Lab's body.

Now, as the waters that the Straw Hat Pirates enter become increasingly dangerous, it is urgent to upgrade and transform Lab.

However, the transformation and evolution method of the Merry is obviously not suitable for Lab as a biological being.

Therefore, the best way is to use Franky's understanding of mechanical structure and Hogback's understanding of biological structure to evolve Lab into a completely new mechanical armor!!!

Chihong believes that when the mechanical structure and weapon deployment in Lab's body reach a certain level, Lab will definitely trigger the machine's evolution mechanism like the Merry!

……

……

After all the details were agreed upon, the terrifying three-masted sailing ship with the island as its hull immediately raised its huge sails and controlled the giant ship to sail outside the Devil's Triangle.

After all, when talking about powerful sea kings, the first thing people think of is the magical sea area on both sides of the Grand Line - the Calm Belt!

In that sea area, various huge and powerful sea kings can be seen almost everywhere.

It can fully meet all the needs of the Tailed Beast Project!

Before the plan was officially implemented, Moria followed Chihong's advice and dispersed all the shadows in advance.

The first is to make the Moonlight Pirates' style of behavior closer to that of the Straw Hat Pirates.

The second is to clear out the outside personnel on the Terror Bark Island as soon as possible.

Because only in this way can the Straw Hat Pirates hide safely in the Thriller Bark without being discovered by the spies of the World Government and the Navy.

During this time, as the prestige of the World Government and the Navy declined, various protests broke out around the world.

There are pirates, revolutionary forces, and the people's resistance army of the countries that are members of the World Government...

Although with the power of the World Government and the Navy, these rebellious voices will soon be suppressed.

But the seeds of troubled times have been planted in the soil of this world, and are gradually taking root and sprouting visibly to the naked eye!

To the extent that the current world government is in urgent need of a victory whose impact can spread throughout the entire world so that the ocean can be regained under control.

So during this period, the Four Emperors of the New World, the mysterious Revolutionary Army, the legendary pirate group Golden Lion and Blackbeard, and the Straw Hat Pirates who defeated the Navy Admiral...

They all became the Navy’s key observation targets!

After all, judging from the current situation on the sea, only by defeating enemy forces of this level can we achieve the goal of establishing our prestige in the world!

……

……

While the Navy and World Government agents were wandering around the world looking for the Straw Hat Pirates...

The Straw Hat Pirates had just concluded a seven-day party to welcome their new partners!

have to say……

With the addition of musicians, the atmosphere of the banquet really became joyful in an instant!

Even Chihong, who was always the calmest at the party, was infected by Brook's music and began to enjoy it.

"Sure enough, this is life~!"

The next morning, looking at his companions still sleeping soundly in various strange positions, Chihong, who was the first to wake up, couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.

With a flash of consciousness, he clicked on the Pokémon introduction panel on the machine.

The next moment, a Q version skeleton man wearing an elegant suit instantly appeared in Chihong's sight.

[Pokémon: Brook]

【Level: 42】

[Gender: convex]

[Character: Lotte (+Defense-Special Defense)]

[Attributes: Ghost, Ice]

[Features: Wandering Soul (When fighting with the enemy in close combat, there is a certain chance of exchanging souls with the enemy, and instantly gaining 100% control over the enemy's body without any discomfort.

PS:

Whether to use and end the effect is determined by the trait owner.

The longest exchange time depends on the mental strength of both sides.

【Skill:--】

[Experience value: 0/5419]

……

【HP: 140】

[Physical Attack: 93]

[Physical defense: 110]

[Special Attack: 120]

[Special Defense: 121]

【Speed: 120】

[Total: 704]

……

The above is the attribute panel of Brook, the new member of the Straw Hat Pirates.

In comparison, Brook's talent is not that outstanding in the Straw Hat Pirates, and can even be described as "mediocre" among the Straw Hat Pirates.

Even his rank was not as good as Franky, who had just boarded the ship not long ago.

but……

After seeing the characteristics given to Brook by the machine, the original thoughts in Chihong's mind disappeared instantly!

Wandering soul characteristics!

If Chihong remembered correctly, this should be a brand new feature that appeared in the eighth generation!

And the effect seems to be interchangeable with the other party's characteristics.

Unexpectedly, under the magical modification of the machine, an ordinary wandering soul characteristic would be endowed with such strange power!

Swap bodies!?

100% adapted to the enemy's body and abilities! ?

Doesn't that mean that once Brook's characteristic is activated, he can instantly control a strong man's body and all his abilities and powers?

However, the strong man could only obtain a strange skeleton body.

Let’s not talk about whether he can adapt to this strange body.

Even if he could control Brook's body, Brook could interrupt the soul interaction at any time.

And by that time, Brook might have done a lot of things with his enemy's body!

A miraculous characteristic raised Brook, who originally had "average" attributes and talents, to a level that even Red could not imagine.

"I've been busy giving Moria and the others a taste of the sweetness these days. It's time to help everyone become stronger again!"

"I don't know when Luffy's MEGA evolution will be triggered~"

"If we can get him to activate the fifth gear now, we won't have to play hide-and-seek with the navy anymore!"

"And there are the new bugs that Usopp has cultivated..."

"I'm still waiting for his bugs to help me withstand the fighting power of one of the Four Heavenly Kings!"

Recently, Red has been wandering in the cave of Champion Road in the Pokémon world.

The Pokémon here are of extremely high levels, with relatively single attributes, making them easy to target. It has now become the best place to level up in Red's mind.

The wild Pokémon that were as powerful as vice admirals of the navy, under the joint attack of Red and his companions or members of the Moria Pirates, could only be turned into experience in anger, helping Red's Pokémon become stronger.

After a few days, Moria's strength had improved by leaps and bounds, or recovered, even though his experience bar had been reduced by half!

Now his level has successfully reached level 58...

As long as he is favored by Chihong for a period of time, he can return to his peak.

So Moria behaved extremely obediently during this period.

Even after learning that the so-called Tailed Beast Project was just a pilot experiment conducted by Akatsuki to transform Lab, he still chose to support Akatsuki unconditionally!

After regaining his strength, he serves Chihong attentively every day, and he is showing a trend of evolving from an arrogant onion head to a shadowy lackey.

Even the three weirdos often couldn't help but exclaim and shake their heads when they saw this, saying, "This is not the Captain Moria they are familiar with!"

"Hey, everyone, this is enough time to rest after so many days, right?"

"We have now arrived at the center of the Calm Belt. This is the sea area with the largest number of sea kings and the strongest strength..."

"If you don't want to cause this island to be in chaos, I suggest you take it a little more seriously."

The golden sunlight shines on this isolated island that has not felt the light for who knows how many years.

At Chihong's call, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates woke up from their drunken state one after another.

"Ah, is the party over already?!"

Under the forced activation of Red, Luffy, whose eyelids were fighting, immediately scratched his head and showed an unsatisfied expression:

"It's rare that everyone is having such a great time, why not hold the party for another day!"

Unfettered and free, this is Luffy's understanding of sailing and adventure.

It’s a pity that Chihong, who likes to be prepared for danger in times of peace, does not intend to continue indulging him.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's you as expected, Luffy!"

"I've been crazy for seven days, but I still haven't had enough fun."

"It's a pity that I have to help Usopp plow the land today. If I don't do it, the production plan of those seeds will be delayed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, in order to prevent Luffy from making any more excuses or reasons, Akane directly forced Luffy to do something and used her telekinesis to wrap up Luffy's body and lift him up.

"Zoro, Sanji, haven't you always wanted to fight Luffy in his prime?!"

"It's almost impossible for any ships to pass by in this calm zone now, and there's no need to worry about your battle being discovered by others..."

"I think it's better to do it today than to wait for another day. Let's set the time for your battle today!"

"You can choose any location, just don't destroy the terrifying barque!"

As he spoke, Red threw Luffy between Zoro and Sanji.

The two men who had long wanted to say goodbye to Luffy suddenly had a flash of excitement in their eyes.

"Okay! Leave Luffy to the two of us, don't worry!"

This time, the two of them did not quarrel or argue, but acted in unison and picked up Luffy from the ground.

After a while, a loud rumbling sound of the earth suddenly came from an island behind the terrifying three-masted sailboat.

Then various dragon roars, flames and the sudden appearance of giant fists were performed from time to time behind the terrifying three-masted sailboat, and the scene was very lively.

……

……

at the same time.

Just above a calm sea area not far from the terrifying three-masted sailboat, a huge sailboat towed by two giant pythons slowly appeared nearby.

On the deck of the sailboat, a tall green-haired woman with an extremely disproportionate head suddenly pointed in the direction of the terrifying three-masted sailboat and said in surprise:

"Sister, there is an island ahead..."

"No!"

"That looks like... a pirate ship!!!"
