The person is wearing a straw hat, and starts with the power of words!

In no mood......

Brook was so frightened that his soul left his body!

—In contrast to the previous astral projection, this time Brook's soul fire flew out and transformed into a skull, without any connection to the skeletal body.

"NO! Absolutely not!" Soul Brook shrieked, "I don't even dare to get close to Mr. Franky's Seastone, so it's unimaginable what it would be like if his body were made of Seastone!"

"Ouch—I knew you were avoiding me." Franky picked his nose. "If that doesn't work, then let's use vibranium. It can absorb and reflect 99% of physical damage. It's not afraid of fire or water, but it's a bit heavy."

Um......

Brook's soul pondered, as if...

Isn’t that impossible?

Although my original body felt a little uncomfortable...

But he had also witnessed the power of vibranium; even Oars's fist, amplified by advanced Armament Haki, was deflected by General Franky's shield.

If his skeleton were made of vibranium...

This is an epic upgrade!

From now on, even experts specializing in physical combat would have to avoid him when they see him.

“No problem! Then I’ll leave it to Mr. Franky!” Soul Brook said expectantly.

but......

Franky shook his head, indicating that he was powerless to help.

"Vibranium has a melting point of over ten million degrees. To forge a piece of vibranium, I would use the power core to heat it for three hours. To create a body for you, such a large workload would take at least half a month."

"It would be better to find an easier way."

Franky glanced at Sima Di, the implication of which was self-evident.

Emperor Sima also did not expect this.

The original intention was just to punish Brooke for his disgusting behavior, but I didn't expect to end up doing something for myself.

"Yohohoho—First Mate, you'll definitely help me, right?" Soul Brook asked expectantly.

Sima Di glanced at him sideways.

Is this how you ask for help?

Soul Brook understood instantly!

"I promise I will never do what I just did again!" Soul Brook swore. "And I will do whatever the First Mate gives me!"

"Me too! Me too!" Raab raised his hand and said, "I'll do anything you ask!"

Emperor Sima nodded. This was starting to look more like it.

But then he noticed that Robin and Vivi were looking at him strangely, and belatedly realized that Laboon's words "I'll do anything" were ambiguous.

He couldn't help but look at Robin and the other woman with a somewhat speechless expression.

Does he seem like the kind of person who would eat anything?

Although Labu is now a young girl, she hasn't fully grown up yet, and Sima Di isn't used to eating raw food.

Not to mention that her true form is...

[Vibranium Skull Shell!]

A one-to-one replica of Brook's vibranium skull was condensed to facilitate his rapid adaptation and formation into combat power.

Brooke's soul eagerly drifted into it, only to find that he was unable to complete the transfer.

"There's nothing I can do. Could it be because it's not a skeleton?" Soul Brook said, troubled.

Emperor Sima thought for a moment,

Using telekinesis, Brook's original skeletal body was shattered into ashes. Then, using the power of words, the vibranium skeleton was broken down into metal powder, mixed in a one-to-one ratio, and then condensed into a new skeleton.

"It still doesn't work." Soul Brook shook his head.

Um......

This is getting interesting.

Brook's original body was smashed into ashes, and the new skeleton was no longer usable.

Tsk!

Being homeless is a given.

However, Emperor Sima had a solution.

Separation!

[Skeleton reconstruction!]

The ashes and metal powder separated and reformed into Brook's skeletal shell.

[Coating!]

Metallic dust swirled around, coating the skeleton's body with a layer of film, thus giving it not only the properties of vibranium but also adding very little weight.

After all, it's just a thin membrane.

This time, Soul Brook successfully completed its "check-in".

"Yo ho ho ho—not much has changed, Mr. Franky, why don't you try hitting me!"

Faced with Brooke's excessive request...

Franky didn't hesitate and threw a punch!

"Thump—"

The vibranium fist collided with the vibranium coating, and the force of the impact rebounded simultaneously, sending both of them flying into the sea.

"Ah! Quick, save Brook!"

Fearing that Brook might sink, Zoro and several other non-Devil Fruit users took off their clothes and prepared to jump into the sea.

Then they saw Brooke running very fast, as if he were running on the sea.

Franky, meanwhile, flew back from the other side using his energy jet.

On the takoyaki boat to the side, Xiao Ba and his two companions were dumbfounded!

Does this work too?

When the two returned to the deck, they found that they were both unharmed.

"Yohohoho—not much has changed at all! The skeleton is still light enough to run on the sea!" Brooke exclaimed excitedly.

It provides powerful physical defense without any side effects.

The matter of being "crushed into ashes" is no big deal now.

This made the Straw Hat Pirates quite envious, but they weren't skeletons or cyborgs, so they couldn't directly increase their combat power by replacing parts or coating them.

"Wow, the First Mate's abilities are really convenient!" Brooke exclaimed.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This left Sima Di speechless.

"Can't you use a different adjective?" Sima Di said irritably.

“But it’s really convenient,” Nami retorted.

“Yes, no matter what trouble I have, you can solve it perfectly,” Chopper agreed.

"Hehe." Labu chuckled to himself.

Emperor Sima sighed helplessly.

He can't shake off the "convenient" label.

It seems I can't help them too much in the future; we have to let them become self-reliant!

"Everyone, we've arrived!" Mei Li exclaimed with delight.

Turn around and look,

In the distance, you can see islands made up of tree islands, with colorful bubbles floating in the sky.

Quite dreamlike.

"So this is the Sabaody Archipelago!" Nami glanced at the Log Pose. "There's absolutely no response. Does this island have no magnetism?"

This is the first time I've ever seen this.

At this time,

Kemi and Papara jumped back onto the deck, while Hachi didn't come over, perhaps to avoid suspicion.

"The Sabaody Archipelago is made up of 79 mangrove trees. The ground is the roots of the trees that protrude above the sea and are connected to each other by bridges, so there is no magnetism."

Upon hearing this explanation, Nami nodded in understanding.

Then he asked, "So what are we doing here? Looking for a coating craftsman? And what exactly is coating?"
