Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"Eat, Franky, I want to see too!"

"Super, you guys are being way too enthusiastic. Let me think about it."

Franky is quite clear about his role; he's just a shipwright. There are too many skilled fighters on the ship, but he's also quite interested in researching Devil Fruits.

Plus, the captain and his crew all wanted to see a mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex, so they decided to give it a shot; maybe they'd succeed?

So Franky took a bite.

Chapter 535 Mecha is a man's romance!

The Sunny

The Straw Hat crew's place is very lively.

"Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

"so cool!"

On the deck, Luffy and Chopper stared with shining eyes at the scene before them: a giant mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared.

Usopp and Franky had only recently eaten Devil Fruits and were being tested on their abilities by their companions, filling the entire Sunny with a festive atmosphere.

While Franky was demonstrating, Usopp stood alone at the stern, holding his slingshot in his hands, looking both excited and a little guilty.

The Paramecia-type Negative Fruit power he just acquired is incredibly troublesome, judging from the description alone. Its attacks can inflict a whole host of negative effects, such as burning, poisoning, paralysis, weakness, confusion, and petrification, which can be triggered individually or released in combination.

The problem is that this ability is too toxic, and nobody on the ship wants to be his target.

"Are you kidding me? Go find Luffy." Nami was the first to refuse.

"If someone gets poisoned and collapses, who will cook dinner tonight?" Sanji asked, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his stance clear.

"I can let you try."

Zoro placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. "But you might get slashed before you can hit me."

Usopp decisively gave up the idea of ​​finding Zoro.

This guy cuts without hesitation, he just does it!

Even the back of a knife will hurt terribly.

In the end, Luffy stepped in and solved the problem.

He jumped onto the sea surface, stretched out his rubber arms, and pulled a sea monster the size of a small fishing boat directly from the sea.

It was a strange fish with three eyes and covered in dark green scales. When it was pulled out, it looked completely bewildered. "No, buddy, I was sleeping."

She's clearly grumpy when she wakes up; she looks like she's about to bite someone.

"No way, Luffy, I can't handle this." Usopp's legs were shaking.

Is it too much to ask him to deal with a Sea King? That monster could swallow the Sunny whole in one gulp.

Luffy glared at the strange fish, and the sea king, which had just been baring its teeth, immediately retracted its mouth.

"Alright, let it test its moves on you," Luffy said with a smile.

Usopp looked at the unfortunate sea king being held down by Luffy's hand, swallowed hard, and pulled back his slingshot.

The moment the first bullet hit, a strange purple pattern appeared on the Sea King's body surface, indicating the effects of poisoning.

The second shot then ignited half of its body with a ghostly blue flame, and the third shot inflicted paralysis, causing the strange fish's eyes to dart around uncontrollably.

Then came weakness, confusion, petrification... several effects stacked together, and the sea king that had been so ferocious just moments before had its three eyes rolled back, its tongue drooping from the corner of its mouth, and it sank directly into the sea.

"That's too ruthless," Chopper said.

“A sniper with this ability would be a nightmare for the enemy.” Sanji nodded.

Usopp looked at his slingshot, then at the sea king whose eyes were glazed over from the torment, and suddenly felt that this ability was quite suitable for him.

"But it's still really disgusting."

He scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.

All of them have negative effects.

However, they are quite a good match, and he seems to be in a negative state most of the time.

In terms of crowd control, he's not as good as Perona, who has crowd control abilities, while Usopp only has point control abilities.

But not far away, Frankie's performance was the real highlight.

"Are you all ready?!"

Franky struck a super pose, arms crossed in front of him, the mechanical structure on his wrists beginning to spin rapidly, "Zoan Type: Ryu Ryu Fruit, Ancient Zoan Tyrannosaurus Mode, Transform!"

A light green light burst forth from his body, and his already modified mechanical body began to expand and deform.

The metal joints made a clanging sound, the steel plate shell rolled and reassembled like a living thing, and the alloy bones that bulged at the spine pierced through the vest, turning into two rows of ferocious mechanical spikes.

Franky, who was originally over two meters tall, swelled to more than ten meters in just a few seconds. The huge mechanical Tyrannosaurus stood upright, its body covered in a cold, metallic sheen. The power unit on its chest emitted a blazing red light, and its thick tail swept across, creating a wave wall more than ten meters high on the sea surface.

"Mechanical Tyrannosaurus!"

Luffy and Chopper screamed in unison, their four eyes practically shooting out stars.

"That's so unfair!"

Even the usually composed Jinbe widened his eyes.

Kuzan, who had been resting with his eyes closed against the ship's railing, opened them when he heard the noise. His gaze lingered on the giant mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex for two seconds before he uttered, "Ara ara, this is truly spectacular."

He walked a few steps closer with his hands in his pockets, his steps leisurely, clearly intrigued.

Franky did his best to meet the needs of the captain and his crew.

Even after transforming into a Zoan-type, his body still retained some mechanical parts, making him look like MetalGreymon.

Mechs are a man's dream!

"Tyrannosaurus Roar!"

Franky's voice came from the mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex's chest, with a deep, metallic resonance.

The enormous mechanical dragon's mouth opened, and a burst of intense orange-red light rapidly condensed deep within its throat. Then, a thick flame laser cannon tore through the air and shot out toward the distant sea.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the seawater was instantly evaporated into white steam, cutting a straight trench in the sea surface, with the seawater on both sides churning and unable to close for a long time.

"so cool!"

"super!"

Cheers erupted from the deck.

Luffy even felt it was a pity that Nika couldn't transform into such a cool form.

Nika: "......"

Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke, looking at the still-glowing power unit on the mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex's chest, "It really has become a super robot."

"It's not a robot, it's a mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

"Frankie corrected me," he said.

"Is there a difference?" Sanji rolled his eyes.

"The difference is huge!"

Franky swung his mechanical arm with satisfaction, striking a pose that showed off his muscles.

As a shipwright, his duty was to maintain and pilot the Sunny. In terms of combat capabilities, there were too many formidable men on board, and he always felt that his room for maneuver was limited.

But things are different now. The Ancient Zoan Tyrannosaurus Rex form of the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, combined with his own mechanical modifications, has transformed him into a unique steel behemoth. Even Kuzan couldn't resist coming closer to watch. It felt incredibly awesome.

Not long after, before Franky could even perform his next move, a furious curse came from afar.

"Who's so inconsiderate! Do they even know they hit my Lord Buggy...?"

The voice grew louder as it approached, carrying anger and a stubborn, defiant spirit.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure flying over from a distance. The red, round nose gleamed in the sunlight, the blue and white striped captain's hat was askew, and the iconic clown face was filled with anger.

He hovered in mid-air, hands on his hips, looking like he was about to interrogate someone.

Luffy grinned as he watched the clown fly in from the sky: "It's Buggy, long time no see."

Bucky had been flying menacingly through the air, intending to teach this blind attacker a lesson.

Looking down, he saw none other than Monkey D. Luffy, wearing a straw hat, standing on the deck, surrounded by faces that were more terrifying than the last.

Zoro, Sanji, Jinbe, Robin, Kuzan, and the giant mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex that hasn't reverted to its original form yet.

Bucky's smile froze.

His brain switched from thinking "who dares to mess with me" to "I can't afford to mess with me" in two seconds.

"Hey, friends, friends, we're all friends!"

Bucky waved enthusiastically, his tone as warm as if he had seen a long-lost brother, "We have a bond from the Impel Down adventure!"

Luffy's arm had already stretched out, and his rubber hand grabbed Buggy's shoulder, pulling him down from mid-air and landing him steadily on the deck.

Before Buggy could even land and get his footing, the Straw Hat crew had already surrounded him.

"You're here to compete for the Log Pose too, right? Then we're rivals." Luffy laughed heartily.

Bucky was laughing for a while, then he almost cried.

Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have come. Why did I even bother joining in the fun?

Because he received that invitation and heard that Buena Festa possessed a permanent record pointer that could directly point to Laugh Tale, he excitedly led the elite of the Crusaders out in full force, traveling day and night to get here.

Crocodile and Hawkeye were both left behind by him. No matter what, Buggy was a former Shichibukai, and his subordinates were all ruthless characters he brought out from Impel Down Level 6. Even when he encountered established figures from the New World, he still pushed through them without encountering any obstacles.

With such a group of subordinates, he fears no one except the Four Emperors!

He was just bragging to his men on the ship when a fiery laser cannon pierced through the entire vessel, infuriating him so much that he flew over alone.

Lord Bucky didn't get to where he is today because of luck!
