One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

He chuckled and muttered a soft complaint.

Just then, a figure riding a giant rhinoceros beetle suddenly descended from the sky.

It was none other than Usopp, who had made Laboon's abdominal world his daily home.

"Crimson, you're back!"

Usopp took off his goggles and then jumped off the giant rhinoceros beetle.

Behind him, two banana leaf blades suddenly appeared, mimicking insect wings in the air and trembling rapidly, granting Usopp a brief ability to fly.

"You've come at the perfect time, Usopp!"

Seeing such a miraculous scene on Usopp, Crimson was already used to it.

Ever since he harvested a swarm of insects that could be used for combat in the Kingdom of Alabasta using simple genetic methods such as hybridization, he seems to have fallen in love with the feeling.

From then on, Usopp pestered Chopper every day, asking this medical genius to accompany him in cultivating various insects and plants.

In addition, the formidable Chopper also possesses the Grass attribute.

Together, they fostered the growth of various plants and induced them to grow and mutate in a targeted manner.

As a result, Usopp now has more and more fighting methods, to the point that they have become quite complicated.

of course.

Limited by the plant's own genes and Usopp's own abilities, the ultimate fighting power of these insects and plants remains to be seen.

But at least in terms of sheer numbers...

Usopp, who can control swarms of insects, will be invincible!

Red smiled slightly and introduced him to Usopp:

"These are the members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet that I told you about before..."

"Buggy, captain of the Clown Pirates, and Bartolomeo, captain of the Bartolomeo Club."

"They've just finished their mission of kidnapping a Celestial Dragon and are a bit tired. Why don't you take them to rest and let them explore the Belly World?"

"OK! Leave it to me!"

Usopp smiled and made a gesture, then immediately put the gesture in his mouth and blew a sharp whistle.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound of flapping wings came from the other end of the abdominal cavity.

A large number of rhinoceros beetles, slightly smaller than the one Usopp was riding, but still large enough to carry one person, flew in from a distance.

Then, under Usopp's arrangement, they docked in front of the pirates.

"Come on! Since we're all on the same side, let me show you this amazing world!"

Usopp laughed heartily.

Although the time wasn't very long, thanks to the convenient skill of the Crimson Dimensional Cave, the material synthesis table of Wapol, and the various plants created by Usopp...

The world of Lab's abdominal cavity has changed completely in recent years!

Apart from the passage that Crocus had previously created remaining unchanged, Laboon's entire abdomen was now covered by several interconnected islands.

In the very center of these islands, there is a huge metal pipe.

This tube connects to Lab's mouth and is about the same size as his esophagus.

Its main purpose is to help Laboon send the food he eats daily directly into the gastric juices beneath the island, causing it to die and dissolve more quickly.

The island above the gastric juice is surrounded by a specially made anti-acid material from Wapol, which can effectively prevent the gastric acid reflux caused by Labu's movement in the seawater from harming the island.

Each island is now covered by a huge glass dome, also made of acid-resistant material, but at a lower cost.

Like vegetable greenhouses, they have protected each island.

Among these islands are Jem's bomb workshop, Wapol's material production workshop, Usopp's insect and plant experiment centers...

Under Usopp's management, the entire Belly World is well-organized and has now become a complete production line, constantly manufacturing various combat tools.

To be honest, even Usopp at this point couldn't remember exactly how many strategic reserves he had.

All he knew was...

Safety lies only in military strength, and truth lies only within the range of artillery fire!

What he has now is far from enough!

Led by Usopp, Buggy and Barto's pirate crews quickly toured the entire Belly Cavity world.

The more they learned about it, the more shocked they became by the Straw Hat crew's methods!

Now, as Usopp's insect research has become increasingly versatile, insects have replaced almost all of the basic workforce in the entire abdominal world.

Along their journey, all they saw were various tentacled insects flying around in the air, carrying supplies.

And those working on the ground, whether it's planting, watering, harvesting, digging, logging, or raising livestock...

Everything was done by a variety of insects, employing an unconventional fully automated style.

As for the Drum Kingdom soldiers who were imprisoned along with Wapol...

They were forced by Red and Usopp to study materials science, specializing in methods and formulas for creating advanced materials using Wapol's Devil Fruit powers.

The human brain is limitless, especially after Red imbued them with the power of Pokémon.

Although due to time constraints, these rough men who originally only knew how to shoot guns are now only beginners in materials science.

But regardless, they come from a major medical country, and they inevitably carry some academic background...

With the energy-boosting tonic Chopper developed for them using mutated plants, it shouldn't be long before they reach the required level.

At the end of their journey, Usopp led everyone to the most dangerous area in the entire Belly World—the ammunition manufacturing and storage area.

What happened next took Mr. 3 of the Buggy Pirates by surprise!

"Mr. 5!? Miss Valentine's Day!?"

"What are you doing here!?"

"what!?"

Wearing a white lab coat and scholar's glasses, Jem, the bomber, took off his sunglasses in surprise and stared intently ahead.

The assistant, Michita, immediately made a similar gesture.

Her shapely buttocks, outlined by the white coat, thrust upwards, while her sun umbrella tilted back, creating a stunning pose reminiscent of Lolita fashion.

"Mr. 3!? What are you doing here!?"

When old colleagues met, a similar look of unease instantly appeared on both of their faces.

After Mr. 5's explanation, Mr. 3 realized...

What twists and turns happened at his former employer, Baroque Works, during the days he was missing?

Unexpectedly, after going through many twists and turns, he ended up coming back to join Buggy's crew and becoming colleagues with his old buddies in a different way.

……

……

"Is this the Straw Hat Pirates' ammunition production workshop?!"

After changing into heavy protective suits to block static electricity, Bucky and his team, led by Mr. 5, began to tour the military industrial base that he was in charge of.

As soon as they entered the production workshop, Bucky and the others felt the temperature on their skin drop by more than ten degrees.

Groups of insects, capable of functioning normally in low temperatures, were seen carefully carrying various packaging boxes.

Mr. 5 introduced to everyone: "This is Production Base No. 1 of the Usopp Factory, which is mainly responsible for research on firearms."

"Currently, this place mainly produces the extremely small Uki bombs, which are improved many times by Lord Usopp, and used in conjunction with the self-destruct bombardment of Gale Bugs..."

"Just two of them can easily destroy a street!"

"And there are currently 2000 such bombs in the warehouse!"

"If they all explode, they could easily destroy a city in an instant!"

"Hiss!!!"

"This is too strong! Is this the true strength of the Straw Hat Pirates?!"

"This makes me feel so safe!"

After hearing Mr. 5's introduction, the pirates immediately shouted excitedly and started discussing it enthusiastically.

For them, who have always used only one pirate ship as their base, it is hard to imagine how a pirate crew can achieve such industrialization and have such abundant labor.

"Wouldn't that mean... even more powerful than the legendary Hades!?"

Bucky, equally shocked, clicked his tongue slightly, a sense of pride rising within him.

Because he already knew the origin of the Uki missile from the previous introduction.

This prosperous era is exactly as he wished!

For the next hour, Buggy and the other pirates, led by Mr. 5, toured the production workshops of various firearms.

Of course, the vast majority of these firearms are not designed for human use.

Yes!

Driven by his friends' constant encouragement, Usopp's pursuit of power has long since surpassed his desire for Pokémon power, sniping ability, items, plants, insects, and ammunition.

After creating a Gale Bug suitable for self-destruction, he suddenly realized...

His individual strength has its limits!

Even though his sniping range exceeded 5 kilometers, and even though the power of his ammunition forced Zoro and Sanji to be on guard...

But in this world, there will always be positions he cannot snipe, and there will always be strong opponents whose defenses he cannot break through!

After all, reality is not a game world; there is no forced -1 HP setting.

Due to limited strength and materials, the insects Usopp can currently create cannot even break through Zoro and Sanji's defenses, let alone the more powerful creatures on the sea.
