One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Judging from the name alone, the previous characteristics are clearly more imposing.

However, the metal protection greatly enhanced Franky's survivability!

"As long as the outer metal shell isn't breached, it won't be affected by any negative effects!?"

"Doesn't this just give Franky a layer of magic immunity?"

Therefore, the only way to defeat Franky is to use a tough guy approach and forcefully break through his steel body.

And he no longer needs to fear the appearance of Devil Fruit users, such as the Rust-Rust Fruit, who are unfriendly to cyborgs.

"Physical defense with a metallic body, magical defense with Pokémon-like abilities... Franky has truly forged an unconventional path to invincibility!"

"More importantly..."

Seeing Vegapunk start bombarding Franky with questions after the light of evolution disappeared, the corners of his crimson lips suddenly turned up.

He did not immediately thwart Vegapunk's exploratory desires.

After all, Pokémon evolution is something that can only happen by chance.

If Vegapunk could actually discover something about Franky's evolution that would allow Luffy and the others to evolve as well, giving them a second boost to their talents, that would be fantastic.

Unfortunately……

Even with Vegapunk's knowledge, which was 500 years ahead of the world, he was helpless when faced with the natural laws of another world.

After asking around for a long time, I still didn't get anything useful.

However, after listening to Red for a long time, he understood Franky's changes after his evolution very well.

First, there's Franky's appearance.

Generally speaking, Pokémon undergo a significant change in appearance after evolving.

However, the changes in Franky before and after his evolution are not visible in his appearance.

The way I looked when I came out of the operating room is exactly the same way I look now.

But according to Franky's description, his current condition is better than ever before!

Because the components designed and installed in his body by Vegapunk and others have now all become integrated with his body.

If the Franky of the past was still flesh and blood, and metal was still metal...

Now, metal is his flesh and blood, and flesh and blood can also acquire properties similar to metal.

The fusion furnace within his body, which was used to contain the Mother Flame, had completely merged with his heart.

The systems within the brain also exist in a strange form.

He used to need to familiarize himself with the combat system before he could use it, but now he can use it with ease and control!

It's as if he was born knowing how to use these things; it's become his instinct.

"Alright!"

Seeing that everyone was still asking Franky strange questions, such as whether his excretory system was his original physical body or mechanical, and whether having the Mother Flame to provide unlimited energy meant he no longer needed to eat anything...

Red stepped forward, interrupting the Straw Hat crew and Vegapunk's curiosity.

He smiled and reminded everyone:

"Why don't you ask Franky any questions after he enters his final form?"

"Don't forget... our initial goal wasn't to help Franky evolve."

"Final form!?"

The Straw Hat crew were taken aback upon hearing this.

Suddenly, Vegapunk clenched his fist and slammed it into his palm.

"That's right!"

His eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately turned to Franky and asked:

"Franky, how's your Devil Fruit power loading system doing?"

"Has it been influenced by evolution!?"

"Devil Fruit Ability Loading System?"

Franky muttered something in confusion at first.

The next second, a hole suddenly appeared in his right upper arm, revealing a device connected to strange pipes.

The inside of the device is currently blank, making it impossible to tell what its function is.

If it weren't for evolution, Franky might not have even noticed this difference in his body.

Upon seeing this, Vegapunk immediately rode his flying robot to Franky's right and began to examine the layout inside in detail.

After a long pause, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Thank goodness..."

"Although the blood flow path has changed due to the combination of the heart and the fusion furnace, everything seems to be fine."

Franky nodded calmly and grinned, saying:

"Don't worry! There won't be any problems!"

"I know my own body!"

"Right now, I still have the interface for using the Devil Fruit Ability System in my mind!"

"It seems that although some changes have occurred inside Franky's body after the evolution, it hasn't affected the use of the modified functions."

At this moment, Crimson also came over.

He first glanced at the so-called Devil Fruit power-carrying device, then curiously asked Vegapunk:

"So, Dr. Vegapunk, how did you overcome the challenge of granting cyborgs multiple Devil Fruit abilities?"

"The principle is actually very simple."

Perhaps having already anticipated Red's question, Vegapunk calmly replied:

"The reason why an individual cannot possess multiple Devil Fruit abilities at the same time is because the bloodline factors modified by Devil Fruits are very unstable."

"This instability led to the emergence of Devil Fruit abilities."

"However, if an already unstable bloodline factor is further interfered with by another unstable factor, then the bloodline factor will inevitably become very uncontrollable until it collapses."

"So unless someone has a special constitution, like that Blackbeard zombie who has three hearts and three blood circulation systems, it's impossible for a normal person to have multiple Devil Fruit abilities."

To complete the project of obtaining multiple Devil Fruit powers, Vegapunk and his crew dissected Blackbeard's body quite a bit.

They were able to complete this project so quickly thanks to the research ideas provided by Blackbeard.

Vegapunk continued, "After borrowing from Blackbeard's body, we also used his bloodline factors to cultivate some clones for experiments..."

"Ultimately, we successfully concluded that an independent circulatory system is sufficient to support a fruit's power!"

"So..." Upon hearing this, Scarlet raised his head curiously and asked, "You created multiple blood circulation systems inside Franky's body?"

However, Vegapunk suddenly shook his head:

"No!"

"After multiple tests, we found that it is almost a matter of probability for a person to have multiple circulatory systems that can be balanced and do not affect each other."

"Even the clones we created using Blackbeard's bloodline factors have not survived more than three days."

"They began to decline almost immediately after they were formed."

"Someone like Blackbeard can only be described as a miracle of life."

"Is that so~" Red was stunned, not expecting that Blackbeard actually had the fate of a protagonist.

Judging from what Vegapunk said, it seems even more miraculous that he was able to live to adulthood than that Luffy is the reincarnation of Joy Boy.

"So... how did you guys complete the project!?"

Usopp, standing to the side, couldn't contain his curiosity either.

As one of the few researchers among the Straw Hat crew, he was also drawn to Vegapunk's research ideas.

At that moment, Vegapunk suddenly grinned:

"It's very simple!"

"All we need to do is create a blood storage and filtration system inside the modified human body!"

"Huh!? What do you mean?"

Vegapunk's answer surprised both Red and Usopp.

Vegapunk, however, pressed a button with one hand, and the flying robot beneath his feet projected an image once again.

The image shows a cross-section of Franky, with numerous tiny arrows in the center, seemingly marking the direction of blood flow.

In the location of Franky's bladder, there is a strange circular device filled with a scarlet, blood-like liquid, which has replaced the original bladder.

Vegapunk explained:

"The principle of green blood is actually to extract the bloodline factors of Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users and integrate them into the blood, so that the blood carries the bloodline factors of Devil Fruit abilities."

"So, all we need to do is create a normal green blood application system on Franky's body, and then store an additional blood and green blood filtration system..."

"When it wants to convert its Devil Fruit power, it simply needs to pressurize the non-powered blood in the blood storage device to enter the blood vessels, and then squeeze the power-enhanced blood into the blood storage device..."

"And in this process, the green blood is filtered out and recycled..."

"In this way, a perfect closed-loop system can be formed!"

"Forehead……"

For some reason, while watching the vivid and engaging animated presentation, a strange thought popped into Chi Hong's mind: "Is it really that simple?"

However, he quickly put the idea out of his mind.

Because Red knew that although the project sounded simple, the amount of scientific knowledge and methods involved in actually completing it would be enough to make one's head explode.

Good thing...

As a high-ranking member of the Straw Hat crew, all he needs to know is the outcome!
