Valeria sighed and nodded her head, "It's too bad your ability to generate materials doesn't let you just pop out finished items boss, that would be so much more convenient!"
Peter chuckled, "Yeah, I know what you mean. It'd be great if I could just picture an item and 'poof!' there... it...is..."
Peter trailed off as his mind pictured what he was talking about and a name popped into his mind. He felt like a goddamn moron for not thinking of her sooner. Without a word he left his crew on the deck, confused and concerned, as he dashed below deck and into the lab where he immediately began making yet another homunculus. Not only was the woman he had in mind intelligent and beautiful, she had a power that was EXACTLY what they needed to get their hands on modern technology and begin to push the boundaries of that technology.
Dr. Vegapunk and Egghead Island were five hundred years in the future? He and his crew would be a thousand years or more in the future! All because of the stupidly broken ability of one heroine, Momo Yaoyorozu, Creati herself with the ability to create ANYTHING she understood the makeup of from her lipid cells. With his memories, Valeria's brilliance, and Momo's own excellent intellect, she would be capable of producing anything!
Was it a little exploitative to create Momo just for her genetic ability? Yes, yes it was. Did he care? Not one bit. He'd treat her like the treasure she was. Her ability was simply too important for him to get all hung up on morals over. Besides, once she made Valeria and himself the proper equipment, he could copy the section of her genome that gave her the Creation Quirk then give a copy of it to Valeria so Momo wouldn't have to do as much work.
This was going to be amazing!
Sakuya sighed as she watched her master run off to his lab once again, likely to give them all a new sister. She shook her head slightly then focused on her job. She spoke calmly, "Artoria, Master purchased something for you."
That got the petite blondes attention. Sakuya opened the duffle bag and pulled out Korikiru and explained what it was to Artoria before handing it over. Artoria accepted the sword from Sakuya the ndrew it to examine the ice-like blade, "Beautiful."
Alex studied the sword in Artoria's hand. He wasn't jealous or anything as he found he preferred martial arts to swordplay, even if he was equally good at both. It looked like an excellent weapon and he was happy for Artoria. Though he did worry that the better quality sword would once more cause the destruction of practice blades with its superior cutting edge.
Finished admiring the sword, Alex spoke up, "While the Captain is busy, I'd like to take some time to instruct all of you on the use of Soru." That got plenty of groans from the non-combatant members of the crew, but Alex was having none of it, "You will all learn it. It might have been made as a combat move, but it could be easily used as a tool for escape. I know none of you wish to disappoint the Captain so I will take the time to instruct all of you. I expect you to practice until you are proficient with the skill!"
There were groans and some complaints, as well as some excitement from the more combat oriented members. Alex was the first created by the Captain, the first mate, and their combat instructor. They gave him the respect he deserved and listened to his commands, as was expected of them.
Peter stood next to Artoria and Mera across the deck from Alex. The three of them were working on mastering Soru under the guidance of Taskmaster. He was living up to his name as he shouted out corrections to their forms. Thanks to the Spider Venom Peter and Artoria had the leg strength needed. Mera had even more strength than they did so she was clearly capable as well. All three of them had gotten the basics of Soru down pretty quick, they were now just working on perfecting it so they could use it instinctively.
While they were doing that, Valeria was leading the majority of the crew on the retrofit of the ship. She had plans and, unfortunately, Momo's creation didn't change anything in that department. It was a good thing it didn't since Momo wasn't very good at using her Quirk yet. Peter had given her skill potions filled with everything he could remember of her using her Quirk along with all of the scientific knowledge he had from his education, but it was far from perfect or complete. Momo would have to work closely with Valeria to work some things out. But he was sure that, together, those two alone could change the entire world.
For now, Momo was practicing making items out of just a single material, such as iron rods. Not steel, just plain iron. To help her out, Peter had made potions just for her. He'd done his best to make sure they didn't taste too horrible, but there was just no getting around how bad potions tasted. Yes, he could actually make artificial flavors, but adding them to a finished potion or trying to include them in the recipe always ruined the potion. At this point, he was certain whoever gave him the Essence WANTED the potions to taste terrible. He was just thankful that some things could just be injected.
With a grunt, Peter kicked the ground ten times in an instant and shot across the deck. At the last moment he lost his balance and was forced to use his reflexes to keep himself from fall on his face. He was having a little trouble keeping up with the speed he could move at. That's what the practice was for though!
