I am a pirate trainer

Chapter 276 Making Poké Balls!
After Chi left the rip-off bar, he found the Sunshine hidden by the Flying Fish Knights through Pokémon's sense of the orchard.

Seeing that they were still waiting for the Sunshine after they learned that everyone was blown away by the navy and Qibukai, I couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Just now Chi has been to Nami's treasury to see, except for two more guards at the door, everything is the same.

Chi didn't bother them, found some things on the boat, then went to the orchard to collect a few fruits, and left quietly.

But it didn't go too far, and found a tree hole where the Sunshine could be seen, and asked Miaowahua to create a temporary secret base.

In this way, it can be discovered immediately when Luffy and the others come back, and it is also to protect the Sunshine.

Under the guard of the Flying Fish Knights, the most people who came to attack the Sunshine were some pirates, bounty hunters, and the navy stationed on the island.

And if the news of Chi's appearance on the Sunshine leaks out, then it is very likely that he will face the general's attack again.

After all, on the way here, he already knew from others that the Tianlong people who were beaten by Luffy still held a grudge, and kept forcing the navy to catch Luffy and them.

And live to see people and die to see corpses.

However, so far, apart from knowing that the Straw Hat gang was shot away by the bear, Kidd and Luo who were at the auction at the time did not catch any of them.

If it is known that Chi has come back alive at this time, no matter what, the navy has to catch him in front of the Tianlong people to defuse their anger.

So before Luffy and the others come back, he just needs to be patient and wait.

At the same time, Chi also used this time to practice a skill well, that is...

Poke Ball Making!
The six Pokéballs Chi now has all appeared on the original deserted island at the same time as himself and Pokémon.

Although there are production methods for various props in the illustrated book, there are even production techniques for poke balls. The production methods of various periods and levels are enough to sort out a chronicle of the invention and manufacture of poke balls.

But all along, six Pokéballs are just right for six Pokémon. He didn’t have time to train Pokémon, so how could he think of making Pokémon?

However, since he obtained Pikachu's Pokémon eggs in Sky Island, he began to study the making process of Poké Balls.

But not to mention luxury balls, even the ordinary red and white balls he owns now contain very high technical content.

Not only the corresponding knowledge is required, but also the matching process basic equipment.

Although Usopp can understand this knowledge, he can't do it with his small workshop.

After Frankie boarded the ship, he had the knowledge and craft equipment, but he still couldn't make it.

Because of the lack of the most important material, the material that can carry the spirit energy.

Fortunately, he has been making two-handed preparations, that is, to cultivate cones.

Chi found that the fruit obtained from the big tree in the small garden was very miraculous.

When the saplings are cultivated with the seeds of that kind of fruit, they will not bear any fruit, but after finding suitable plants, they can be grafted with the saplings, and they can be quickly cultivated into fruits that can replace the saplings.

He has been growing good cones since getting the cone-like fruit, but only recently has he successfully bred a cone tree.

I originally planned to save enough cones for experimentation and production when I arrived at Murloc Island, and then I could make new Poké Balls.

But I didn't expect to have to go through Chambord Island before that, and I didn't expect that everyone was forced to disperse in just one day.

Thinking of this, Chi sorted out his emotions, took out the illustration book, and then reviewed the craft of making poke balls over and over again.

The most important thing to use cones to make pokeballs is to handle the cones perfectly, and then make them step by step with some auxiliary materials.

Now more than a dozen cones have been stored, and the auxiliary materials that need to be used have been replenished while shopping today, and now the production is short.

Chi picked up a green cone and weighed it in his hand.

Using cones to make Pokéballs is a very old technology. Since it was discovered that cones can store Pokémon, this technology has been inherited for three to 400 years.

During this period, various crafts emerged in an endless stream, and what Chi now needs to use is a production method called water and fire scouring.

There are seven types of cones, and different colors will have different characteristics.

But wanting to preserve these characteristics requires very high skills. If Usopp and Franky are still there, Chi will still count on it. If you come by yourself, you should avoid it.

Because he can successfully make the ball into a poke ball, it is already very good.

The reason why I choose green is because the green cones bear more.

In contrast, the red and white berries are the fewest, with only one of each.

After several consecutive failures, Chi finally mastered this production method roughly.

He put the cone in his hand on an iron frame again, and let the fire-breathing dragon slowly bake it with the tail flame. During this period, he kept letting the giant swamp monster wrap his hands with water energy to correct its shape.

Naturally generated tree fruits are not all perfectly round, there will always be some irregularities.

What Chi is using now is a tricky method.

In ancient times, craftsmen put the cones into warm water while they were still hot, and then performed corrections with bare hands based on experience regardless of the high temperature on the cones.

The woody cones will become harder in the flame, but will soften after a moment of contact with water, like a slightly harder dough.

But its material is indeed very tough and will not be easily punctured.

When the cones are completely cooled they will become firmer and the cooling time will be shortened after reheating.

Moreover, the cone is just a kind of plant fruit after all, after three times of water and fire, it will become extremely fragile.

Experienced craftsmen can shape it after one water and fire training, but more often it needs a second training, or even it is useless.

After the giant marsh monster adjusted the cone in his hand to be infinitely close to a perfect circle, he carefully wrapped it with a water polo, and quietly waited for it to cool down.

Seeing that the cones hadn't deformed again, Chi and the giant bog monster breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Then put it on a wooden pier and let Ma Huanla evenly split it into two halves.

Chi cleaned up the pulp left on the shell little by little, looked at the data scanned in the illustrated book, and nodded in satisfaction.

Not only is the size very suitable, but even the shape is 96% close to a perfect circle. It's not that Chi doesn't want to pursue perfection, it's because the craftsmanship can't achieve it.

It's late at night and this is the sixth since I started making poke balls.

Due to the unfamiliarity of the craftsmanship, the previous ones have all been invalidated, and only this one is barely qualified.

He took out the materials he had already prepared, a bundle of special fibers and threads, which was made from a vine carefully cultivated by Miao Frog Flower.

Two hemispherical grids made of steel, gemstones purified with elf energy, some special glue, and finally some fragmented parts, copper sheets, wafers, hinges, buttons, springs, etc.

First grind the gems into powder and mix the glue thoroughly, then soak the fiber threads in it, and then use this time to adjust the metal grid to an appropriate size according to the data inside the cone.

By this time, the fiber thread has almost absorbed the mixed solution.

Chi carefully wound it on the grid according to the steps in the illustration book, and glued some copper sheets and wafers on it from time to time.

Finally, get two simple hemispheres, press them firmly into the tree shell, wait until it is firm, decorate the interior, and then install the rest of the small parts.

Such a Poké Ball is only one step away from making it.

It is also the most critical step!
