One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

In the past few days, he has compiled a list of all possible technical issues and uploaded them to [Straw Hat Cloud] in advance.

Given Usopp and the others' learning abilities, it won't be long before they fully grasp the basics of these cyber worlds.

In this way, V can devote all his energy to building up the strength of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Looking at his companions' expectant eyes, he paused slightly, then said in a deep voice:

"The navy was able to withdraw its troops so smoothly this time not because we were strong enough to make them wary, nor because our plan was so flawless..."

"We were able to avoid this battle entirely because of our good luck. The person who came just happened to be Luffy's grandfather, and he also happened to be a kind-hearted general."

"If it had been any other admiral this time, our group would have had no choice but to flee in disarray, or even face total annihilation!"

"Good luck won't always be on our side."

At V's voice, the Straw Hat Pirates, who had been all smiles, slowly put away their smiles, and their gazes gradually became serious and focused.

V is right.

Good fortune won't always be on their side.

When a powerful enemy attacks and they have no one to defeat them, the sheer despair and pain they feel is enough to make one's heart clench just thinking about it.

"so……"

A deep blue light flashed in V's eyes once again.

His gaze swept quickly over each member of the Straw Hat crew, as well as Ace, who had been training with Luffy and the others for the past few days.

"In order to prevent tragedy from happening to us, the Straw Hat Pirates will be in full combat readiness for the next month!"

"If the navy outside Alabasta withdraws this month, our voyage will continue..."

"If they dare to block the way here, then they will be our best whetstone!"

As V finished speaking, the entire rocket launch site fell into a brief silence.

The hot desert winds never stopped, whipping up fine, crystallized sand that pounded against the metal plates on the base's exterior, producing a soft, rustling sound.

But even clearer than the sound of the wind was the gradually accelerating heartbeat in everyone's chest.

"A whetstone, huh..."

Zoro repeated the word in a low voice, his hand unconsciously resting on the hilt of the Wado Ichimonji sword.

His eyes gleamed with fighting spirit. "That sounds pretty exciting."

Sanji exhaled a smoke ring, and though he didn't speak, he was secretly thinking to himself:

"A month is enough time for me to complete the development of that technique... but..."

"Even with the added power of Devil's Leg, he probably wouldn't be a match for those Marines."

"I need... additional support!"

He had made up his mind and had already made a decision.

He wants to reveal his true identity to V.

Although he was just a test subject, the materials he used were no worse than those of the other brothers. Perhaps V had some special methods here.

Nami crossed her arms over her chest.

Her path to becoming stronger was both the simplest and the most complex.

V had already planned out her future...

With her keen senses and sharp calculations, V intends to have Nami continue down the path of an "elemental mage."

Originally, she needed to use the Weather Stick to create various high and low temperature bubbles, forming small-scale "natural magic".

Now, with the support of Alabasta, a nation with unlimited resources, V can easily build a drone base for Nami in a short period of time.

These drones can be housed inside the Merri or Rabbuy aircraft on a regular basis.

Once in combat mode, Nami can remotely control these drones, directly exercising large-scale control over the environment.

In this way, as long as the brain-computer interface level increases, Nami's destructive power will also increase dramatically.

There's not much to say about Usopp. As long as he keeps improving his weapons and ammunition, his strength will naturally increase, perhaps even exponentially.

The situation is a bit more complicated with Robin and Chopper.

Firstly, they haven't been with the Straw Hat crew long enough for their training to catch up.

Secondly, their capabilities are neither particularly strong nor weak, so whether to replace or upgrade them requires careful consideration.

Especially Chopper's Rumble Ball transformation.

To some extent, the Rumble Sphere is a biological force capable of causing a sensation around the world.

Its principle is to influence the transformation wavelength of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, making the transformation form more focused in the direction desired by the user.

Imagine if Kaido evolved into a Power Form or a Monster Form using Rumble Balls...

That would likely shatter the balance of power among the Four Emperors in an instant.

Therefore, V plans to first study the Devil Fruit's transformation wave with Chopper and familiarize himself with its principles before modifying Chopper's orientation.

In fact, V planned to create a custom prosthetic body for each of Chopper's forms.

This would enable them to become true "cyborgs" like themselves.

With the power of the "God's Hand" and the Gluttony Fruit, it's not impossible for him to do these things.

As for Robin...

V hasn't considered many things yet, but he has a vague idea.

He plans to appoint Robin as the Straw Hat Pirates' intelligence specialist.

After he finishes modifying all the bounty hunters and agents of Baroque Works, V will grant Robin maximum brain-computer access, allowing her to gather intelligence at any time.

In addition, V plans to upgrade to a higher-level Devil Badge (Imitation Fruit) in the future, to complement the clones Robin creates using the Flower Flower Fruit...

This might allow her to become a truly all-encompassing intelligence expert, capable of single-handedly surpassing the entire CP department.

Luffy's situation is much simpler.

V directly instructed him to begin training in Gear 4, enhancing his Gear 3 through mastering and skillfully applying Armament Haki, and using Gear 2 to accelerate blood flow, ultimately forming his strongest form before the fruit awakens.

Having a formula makes solving problems faster.

Before that, V also planned to level up as much as possible in preparation for Luffy's heart transplant surgery.

Because he... didn't intend for Luffy to awaken the true power of the Nika Fruit as predicted.

Leaving aside the debate about whether the fruit's will affects the host.

V absolutely cannot accept the fact that one of the conditions for awakening is for Luffy to experience death firsthand.

Therefore, he plans to replace Luffy's heart with a prosthetic body when the time is right.

In this way, whether Luffy continues to use Nika's power or loads other Devil Fruits or Haki prosthetics, the extent to which he has developed the Gum-Gum Fruit will remain in his body.

Furthermore, the ability to devour the fruit can be used to upgrade the Devil Badge of the Nika Fruit, completely eliminating the possibility of the fruit's will influencing Luffy.

Chapter 93 Straw Hat Crew Ranking Battle (Seeking monthly votes~)

The temperature plummeted at night in the desert.

Inside the Aerospace Technology Building at the Airuma Hat Base, the lights were still on.

The entire exterior of the building is covered with a layer of specially made black glass, resembling a regular square coffin, silently and solemnly suppressing the center of the desert.

Don't be fooled by its simple, even somewhat ugly, design...

However, these black glasses are a special composite material created by V using the power of the Gluttony Fruit to fuse multiple materials.

Not only does it possess excellent heat insulation properties, but it can also serve as a highly efficient solar panel, converting the scorching Alabasta sunlight into a continuous source of electricity, providing clean and abundant energy for the operation of the entire Airuma base.

Meanwhile, in the department's central control room, a giant screen nearly ten meters high was emitting a deep, dark blue light.

The screen is covered with a dense array of surveillance images, each pointing to a specific area.

Some scenes depict the deserts, towns, or coastlines of Alabasta, while others show an endless sea where, upon closer inspection, naval warships can be faintly observed adrift.

In addition, some scenes show other islands near Alabasta in the Grand Line, not even near Alabasta itself.

Among them are Drum Island and Little Garden.

At this point, it was no longer Robin and Usopp who were sitting in front of the control panel observing these satellite surveillance images.

Instead, two former senior agents of Baroque Works were appointed: Miss Doublefinger and Miss Goldenweek.

Now that they have "reformed," they have resumed their original names—Sarah and Marianou.

Following the restructuring, the two have officially joined the Aerospace Technology Department at Baroque (Alabasta) headquarters, serving as minister and deputy minister respectively.

Although they didn't know anything about rockets, they had the permissions granted by V, and access to the entire fully automated rocket base...

The two of them don't need to have any particularly specialized knowledge; as long as they can report any situation promptly, that's enough.

In this respect, Sarah and Marianou, two laymen, did an exceptionally good job.

Now, more than twenty days have passed since the naval landing.

In this period of time, which is neither too long nor too short, the Kingdom of Alabasta seems to have boarded the fast train of the times, with each day bringing about tremendous changes.

First, it is unclear when exactly, but a large number of residents within the kingdom began to have their limbs replaced by machines.

They are all beneficiaries of the "National Health and Wellness Action Month".

Those who have lost their autonomy due to physical disabilities thought they would only be a burden to their families for the rest of their lives, or that they would leave alone in some unknown corner...

However, the arrival of the Straw Hat Pirates brought a turning point—through cybernetic modifications, they not only regained their lives but also gained superhuman strength.

If V truly possessed some kind of "god-making system," these people would probably have already become his most devout and fanatical followers.

Secondly, the lives and infrastructure of the people in the Kingdom of Alabasta have also shown remarkable improvement in just over twenty days.

Although the time frame is still short and the full picture of many grand projects has not yet been revealed, the drones that occasionally glide smoothly over the city and the increasingly dense "sand-water road" pipeline network that can be seen with the naked eye have already outlined a hopeful future for this country that has been battered by sandstorms.

Of course, compared to the changes in Alabasta, the changes in the Straw Hat Pirates are even more astonishing!

After all, all these changes were caused by them!
