Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

"Wow! Is this the Sea Forest you mentioned? It's too big!"

"I didn't expect King Neptune to be so generous that he was willing to lend us such a large area."

"Hehe~ After all, we helped them save nearly two thousand compatriots, didn't we? I can still see the image of his shocked expression in my mind."

"........."

"........."

Three days after the attack on the holy land of Marijoa.

The Straw Hat Pirates, riding on the Merry, led a group of supernova pirates from the edge of Fishman Island and all the way to the Sea Forest, a restricted area in Fishman Island second only to Fishman Street.

Led by the Merry, a number of pirate ships docked at the edge of the Sea Forest one after another.

And Red also gave the order to other supernovas to disembark through telepathy.

Just before getting off the Merry, Usopp suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and looked at Zoro and said:

"Oh, yes, Zoro!"

"Are you sure you don't want to eat any Devil Fruits!?"

"The fruits we got from Marijoa this time have quite a few good abilities!"

"Especially the devil fruit brought from Pangu City this time. Red said it is very likely to be the strongest mythical beast ability in the world!"

As he spoke, Usopp opened a door on his chest, and with one hand, he took out a colorful devil fruit like a magic trick!

There are four hoof-shaped bases at the bottom of the fruit, and the whole body is a colorful combination with white as the base.

Just looking at its appearance is enough to see the unusualness of this fruit.

And this fruit is exactly the one that was rated by Chihong as the strongest mythical beast species - Animal Series·Mama-Ma Fruit·Mythical Beast Type·Qilin Form!

Unfortunately, facing Usopp's repeated temptations, Zoro calmly shook his head:

"Forget it, Usopp, stop trying to persuade me!"

As he spoke, he placed one hand on his long sword, a faint smile on his face:

“I have found my own path,”

"And didn't Akane say that too? Fruit abilities are just a way to become stronger, not the only way."

"Rather than being distracted by practicing some powerful fruit ability, I would rather concentrate on my swordsmanship and Haki."

Perhaps not long ago, Zoro would have expected the power of the devil fruit to allow him to become stronger quickly like his other companions.

In this way, he would be able to crush the lecherous chef once again and cure his disgusting face.

however……

When his realm reached a certain height, he could feel more and more...

Fruit abilities are not the best path for you!

Just like he suddenly realized that transforming into a giant dragon Pokémon was not the most suitable evolutionary direction for him...

There are definitely better ways to display his power!

"Um... okay then~"

After hearing Zoro's repeated refusals, although Usopp could not understand Zoro's mood, he still took the precious fruit and agreed.

But the next second, his face was instantly filled with an excited smile, and he grinned at Zoro:

"In that case, I won't be polite to you!"

"Hehehe~"

"By the way, do you really want to give these devil fruits to those bugs of yours?!"

At this moment, Nami, who had already got off the boat, suddenly turned around and looked at Usopp with a complicated expression.

After all, if those devil fruits were released into the wild, they would be treasures worth billions of Baileys!

Now Usopp has proposed a "Four Heavenly Kings Plan" to feed all these fruits to the genius Zerg he has cultivated...

Billions of Baileys just disappeared like that, it's no wonder Nami felt heartbroken.

"Of course!"

"Don't worry! I will use these fruit abilities with caution..."

"After all, my goal... is to train a peerless insect race that can at least defeat the Four Emperors!!!"

Knowing that he was holding a treasure and was placed with high hopes, Usopp immediately patted his chest and made a promise to Nami.

And Chihong beside her also chuckled, comforting Nami's crying heart:

"Okay, Nami, it's just a few hundred billion Baileys."

"When Usopp's big words come true, just ask him to take you to Marijoa again."

"It's just a few hundred billion Baileys. You can earn it back in a minute."

"What's more, if these devil fruits are really replaced with useless Baileys and fall into the hands of the enemy, the loss to us will be doubled."

"Of course I understand this logic~" Nami gave Usopp a pitiful look, "But when I think of such a precious treasure being fed to the bugs by Usopp, I feel distressed out of habit!"

“Hahahaha, I understand.”

Chihong patted Nami's shoulder to comfort her.

"But you have also found a fruit ability that suits you. Zoro and I don't plan to eat any devil fruits..."

"Instead of wasting those fruits in Usopp's body, we should use them and transform them into our own strength!"

"makes sense."

Nami waved her hand, but suddenly gave Usopp a playful smile:

"Since you helped me bring out this wonderful fruit, I will reluctantly accept that you took tens of billions of berries all by yourself!"

As she spoke, Nami held out her hand.

A swirling miniature storm instantly appeared in his palm.

Superhuman Natural Disaster Fruit!

This is the name of the devil fruit that Nami ate. It came from the experimental base of Saint Satan in Pangu City. It is different from those precious mythical beast species and is one of the dozens of other devil fruits!

The ability of this fruit is that it allows Nami to control all natural disasters from the sky or weather!

Drought, storm, rainstorm, thunder, ice and snow, sandstorm...

Although Nami's current strength is still average, the effect of the fruit she can produce is also very limited.

But this does not affect Chihong's expectations for Nami at all.

If we say that Nami had the power she has now because of the weather stick made by Usopp and Franky...

So from now on, Nami will completely evolve and become a sky queen who has powerful fighting power even without using any external force!

It can be said that no devil fruit is more suitable for Nami, who is proficient in various meteorological knowledge, than the Disaster Fruit.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down!"

After hearing Nami's words, Usopp patted his chest again with confidence.

After all, this "Four Heavenly Kings Plan" was not a joke he came up with on a whim.

Long ago, Usopp had been consciously cultivating talented Zerg individuals...

Especially after Red had enough game time, he specifically asked Red for help to turn some high-quality Zerg into Pokémon, and used the mechanisms of the game world to make them stronger quickly.

And with the continuous reproduction during this period of time, there are even insects among these Zerg that can carry genetic skills!

The special biological genes of the pirate world + the Pokémon moves + the powerful fruit ability + the red power leveling upgrade...

Usopp really doesn't know how to fail!

And his next task is to continue to allow the high-quality Zerg to reproduce and pass on the excellent genes as much as possible. Eventually, with the help of Chihong, he will select the most talented individuals and cultivate them as his own Zerg.

of course……

After the battle on Nine Snake Island, Usopp no ​​longer focused all his attention on the bugs.

If appropriate, he doesn't mind developing the power of plants, or even combining plants and Zerg together to give full play to his grass + insect attribute combination characteristics!

"Alright, alright, the supernovas have all gathered."

"Let's hurry over there too!"

Chihong immediately clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

……

……

The Sea Forest is located in the northern part of Fishman Island.

Affected by deep-sea currents, all pirate ships that sink near Fishman Island will eventually die here, so this place is also known as the "Ship Graveyard."

It is precisely because of this feature that Fishman Island, on the grounds of danger, naturally listed this place as a restricted area of ​​Fishman Island, prohibiting other fishmen from entering, and successfully hiding the main text of history in the depths of the sea forest.

This can be said to be the only uninhabited area on Fishman Island.

With the efforts of the supernovas, they quickly cleared out a piece of open space among a pile of abandoned wreckage, and then began to wait quietly for the arrival of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Ever since they witnessed the full-strength attack of the Straw Hat Three, these supernovas have become extremely well-behaved and obedient.

Even Luo and Bonnie, who had special backgrounds, became quiet.

Of course, a big part of the reason is that the two of them have been confused by a series of actions by the Straw Hat Pirates.

Their invasion of Marijoa would not alarm too many people. At most, they would be like Fisher Tiger more than a decade ago, rescuing some slaves, looting some treasures, and then leaving in style.

Who can imagine...

This time they actually turned the entire Mary Geoise upside down.

In the end, he even forced out the Five Elder Stars, the world's highest authorities, and escaped right under their noses.

If they were just like Fisher Tiger, they believed that once they entered the Grand Line, apart from an increase in bounty and reputation, there would not be much impact.

After all, the World Government's attention must be on the Straw Hat Pirates.

only……

Now that they have made such a big fuss in Marijoa, even if the World Government's focus is mainly on the Straw Hat Pirates, just the little bit of light that has been revealed is like a mountain falling from the sky for them, bringing them enormous pressure!

For a moment, all the supernovas didn't know what to do next.

Fortunately, after the operation was over, the Straw Hat Pirates did not abandon them directly. Instead, they seemed to want to continue playing with them.

So the supernovas also took the opportunity to cling to the Straw Hat Pirates.

Soon, they discovered...

In this life, how lucky you are to meet someone who can hold your thighs tightly!

……

……

"Apu, these three devil fruits are yours."

Peng!

On the open space, at the signal of red eyes, Usopp suddenly took out a wooden box from his body.

The mechanism of the wooden box opened, revealing three fruits with strange patterns on them.

Chihong placed one hand on the box and looked at Apu with a smile on his face, who looked nervous and excited.

"Although you actively participated in this operation, your fruit ability did not provide much help to the operation..."

"So you can only take one superhuman fruit and two ordinary animal fruits. There should be no objection, right?"

"No no!!!"

Appu, who was drooling at the sight of the three devil fruits in front of him, nodded quickly, as if he was afraid that if he was a little slow, the reward would be taken back by Chihong.

And what Chi Hong said was not wrong...

His performance in this operation was even worse than that of the rescued slaves.

Being able to obtain three devil fruits was beyond his imagination!

Although he is already a user with special abilities...but his crew members are still non-users with special abilities!

After possessing these three devil fruits, the strength of their pirate group will be further enhanced.

Thinking of this, Apu's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.

But the next moment...

Peng! ! !

Another huge wooden box suddenly fell in front of Apu.

Because the box this time was too huge, Usopp threw it directly to the ground.

"Um!?"

Apu glanced at the box in confusion.

Before he could react, Chi Hong smiled again:

"Of course, three devil fruits alone are not enough for everyone to risk their lives to participate in this operation."

"Here is 10 billion berries in cash, just like these devil fruits, it is a reward for you and your pirate group."

Click~

Usopp opened the buckle of the box with one hand.

In an instant, piles of cash that looked like they had golden special effects appeared nakedly in front of Apu.

Looking at such a huge sum of money, Apu swallowed silently.

"Red... Lord Red, are these all for me!?"

He pointed his finger in shock, at Bailey in front of him, and then at himself, as if he couldn't believe it.

It's not that he hasn't seen money before.

It’s not that their pirate group can’t afford the devil fruit.

But he never thought that Red would be so generous and directly give him 10 billion Beli and 3 devil fruits as a reward.

After all, he did almost nothing in this operation and was just a supporting role.

Facing Apu's shock, Chihong seemed to have expected it and did not find it strange. He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled strangely:

"Of course, you won't ask me to say this a second time before you understand, right?"

"However, your contribution in this operation is indeed not much, so the reward allocated to you is also the smallest among the members of the Supernova Pirate Alliance."

"I hope to see you take an active part in the next operation!"

"Gudong!!!"

This time, Apu choked directly and forcefully.

10 billion berries + 3 devil fruits, and that's only the minimum reward.

If he has made some contribution, how much should he get?

Thinking of this, Apu's body instantly straightened up, punched himself in the heart, and shouted as if to pledge allegiance:

"Please rest assured, Lord Chihong!"

"At the next event, I will definitely contribute 120% of my strength and ability to gain more benefits for our alliance!"

"Everything, for the alliance!!!"

"Very good, I look forward to your performance!"

Chihong smiled slightly, revealing a benevolent look like a superior.

Appu immediately called his crew members, and he picked up the three devil fruits on the table, and the group happily returned to the supernova team.

At this moment, Appo, who was considering betraying the alliance and removing himself from this dangerous plan a few days ago, is now more loyal to the Pirate Alliance than ever before!

The other supernova pirate groups who saw all this also became excited.

After all, even Apu, who made little contribution, gained a lot...

So what will those who played a major role in the action gain? !
