One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

As for the Nature type, and the even more precious Mythical Beast type?

Even in the hands of the Marine Headquarters and the World Government, such a thing is considered a rare treasure.

The Warring States period was not so generous as to casually give such strategic resources to pirates.

Among them, the four Paramecia-type fruits are: Paper-Paper Fruit, Cannon-Cannon Fruit, Ride-Ride Fruit, and Block-Block Fruit.

The three animal-type fruits are: Ox-Ox Fruit - Yak Form, Cat-Cat Fruit - Lion Form, and Bird-Bird Fruit - Dove Form.

"Paper, cannon, horse, building blocks..."

V's fingers gently brushed over the four oddly shaped Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, and the dark blue light of his prosthetic eye flickered slightly.

"These are all quite interesting abilities with great potential for development."

The Paper-Paper Fruit grants the user the ability to transform and manipulate their body or any object they come into contact with into paper.

Despite its apparent fragility, it possesses multiple uses, including flexibility, cutting ability, camouflage, and even flight, making it of extremely high strategic value.

The Cannon-Cannon Fruit allows the user to transform any part of their body into a cannon barrel and fire projectiles. It is a pure and violent long-range firepower ability with extremely wide applicability.

The Ride-Ride Fruit allows the user to "ride" and control any object or creature considered a "mount," and even grant it temporary enhancements. In certain circumstances, it can be considered a rule-level ability.

The Block Fruit allows one to disassemble and reassemble objects into a block-like structure, freely combining and constructing them, possessing almost limitless creativity in architecture, defense, trap placement, and even the creation of makeshift tools.

"This is truly a great gift, Marshal of the Warring States Period."

A smile appeared on V's lips.

These fruits may not be as destructive as some top-tier natural or animal-type mythical beasts, but their unique regularity and versatility, when combined with prosthetic modifications and tactical systems, can unleash immeasurable value.

Then, his gaze turned to the three Zoan-type Devil Fruits.

The Ox-Ox Fruit, Ox Form, provides immense strength, endurance, and impact power, making it a typical frontal offensive enhancement.

The Cat-Cat Fruit, Lion Mode, is the king of beasts. It is undoubtedly the strongest Zoan-type Devil Fruit, and its strength and agility make it the top choice.

The Bird Fruit, in the form of a white dove, grants the user the ability to fly and bird-like characteristics, combining aerial maneuverability, vision, and a certain symbolic meaning of communication.

Of the seven Devil Fruits, six possess considerable combat power.

The only fruit that is not good at fighting is the White Dove Fruit, which is also one of the few Bird-Bird Fruits that can grant the ability to fly.

This clearly demonstrates the great sincerity shown by the Warring States period.

The only regret is...

None of these seven Devil Fruits are suitable for the Straw Hat crew right now.

Now that the weakness of Devil Fruit users to seawater and seastone has been overcome, V certainly wouldn't mind letting his companions, or even himself, eat Devil Fruits to gain an extra ability.

However, unlike the Devil Badge, this ability cannot be changed at will, so V must be very careful and choose the Devil Fruit ability that best suits his partners and himself.

The seven Devil Fruits he possessed were all quite good, but they were still far from meeting his desired standard.

"When we get back, we'll give these fruits to Mr. 4 and the others to eat."

Even today, many of the executives of the Baroque Works are not ability users.

These Devil Fruits can be used as a reward for their hard work, and their hearts can be extracted to create brand new Devil Badges.

While they were thinking, V and Luffy had already arrived in Laboon's abdominal cavity with the box in their arms.

The giant whales lurking in the deep sea, like silent shadows, left the clamor and probing of the Navy Headquarters far behind.

The following day, at the break of dawn, a storm that would sweep the world arrived as expected.

The news birds of the World Economic News Agency fly all over the world, and every copy of the World Economic Herald features a headline in bold on its front page:

[Official Announcement from World Governments]

Title: Major Adjustment to the Seven Warlords of the Sea System – Crocodile Stripped of His Title, Straw Hat Luffy Takes Over!

text:

A joint investigation by the Navy Headquarters and the World Government has confirmed that Crocodile, a former member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has long been involved in serious crimes such as illegal interference, instigating internal strife, and plundering resources in the Kingdom of Alabasta. His "usurpation" has seriously violated the "Seven Warlords of the Sea Code of Conduct Agreement".

Effective immediately, the World Government has officially stripped him of his status as a Shichibukai and all his privileges, and reserves the right to pursue further legal action.

Meanwhile, given that the Straw Hat Pirates took the initiative to intervene in the Alabasta incident, thwarted Crocodile's plot, assisted in restoring order to the kingdom, and protected civilians, demonstrating a "controllable stance of justice," the World Government, after comprehensive evaluation, decided to invite Monkey D. Luffy, captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, to succeed the vacant position of Shichibukai, enjoying corresponding privileges and fulfilling the obligation of assisting in defense.

The new Shichibukai will soon travel to Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, to complete their official authorization ceremony.

— Jointly issued by the Navy Headquarters and the World Government

……

……

The newspaper photo featured Crocodile's gloomy face on one side and Luffy's wanted poster with a straw hat and a wide grin on the other.

The stark contrast makes this news story dramatic and controversial.

The World Economic News Agency's newspapers, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirred up towering waves on the Grand Line and even across the four seas.

"What?! Straw Hat Luffy has become a Shichibukai?!"

In a bar in the Sabaody Archipelago, a pirate slams a newspaper on the bar counter, splashing drinks everywhere.

"That rookie who wreaked havoc in Loguetown and defeated Crocodile... actually accepted the World Government's offer of amnesty?"

"Are you kidding me! Didn't he say he wanted to become the Pirate King?!"

Questions, angry shouts, and incredulous exclamations echoed from every corner.

For these veteran pirates, what they hate most is...

These are pirate traitors who, despite claiming to be pirates, are actually colluding with the World Government!

Donghai, Windmill Village.

Makino paused slightly as she wiped the wine glass, her gaze falling on Luffy's bright smiling face in the newspaper.

"Luffy..." she murmured softly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, "Is he really okay?"

Even in this remote and impoverished village, Makino could imagine...

Luffy must have gone through many unimaginable difficulties and setbacks to get to this point.

Beside the bar, Village Chief Up Slap adjusted his glasses and snorted, "That bastard Garp's grandson, he really is a troublemaker!"

Even so, a barely perceptible hint of pride lurked deep in his eyes.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea... that's a title only the most renowned pirates can claim!

……

……

The Grand Line, the first half.

A certain whirlpool area.

wow-

Thanks to the efforts of Burgess, Lafayette, and others, Blackbeard, who had fallen into the sea, managed to escape danger once again.

He lay sprawled on the broken raft, gushing seawater, looking utterly disheveled.

But his face showed no sign of drowning or drowning; instead, he burst into maniacal laughter.

"Hahaha..."

"He's alive again!"

However, at that moment, Van Augur, who had been sitting on a small stool at the stern, suddenly spoke up:

"Things seem to be getting out of hand, Captain."

He held up the newspaper, already soaked with seawater, and showed it to Blackbeard:

"It seems someone got there first... and blocked our way!"

Chapter 108 The entire amusement park is in complete chaos (Seeking monthly votes~)

"What happened?"

Lafayette, who had just rescued the captain and brought him aboard, turned his head curiously.

Van Oka, equally soaking wet, spoke with his usual calm tone as he unfolded the newspaper in his hand:

"Someone beat us to it and became one of the new Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"what?"

Blackbeard's laughter stopped abruptly.

His massive, wet body jerked off the raft, seawater dripping down his disheveled hair and beard.

The madness and relief of surviving the ordeal that had been in those small eyes were instantly replaced by a sinister look as he stared intently at the newspaper in Van Augur's hand, which was soaked but still had a legible headline.

"The new Shichibukai...Straw Hat Boy...Monkey D. Luffy?"

Blackbeard suddenly flew into a rage and crumpled the newspaper Van Augur had just bought into a ball.

"I was originally planning to kill this brat and use his head to make a deal with the Navy..."

"I never expected that this kid would become a Shichibukai before us."

Before Blackbeard could finish speaking, the atmosphere on the raft suddenly froze.

Burgess wiped the seawater off his face and asked gruffly, "Captain, what's our plan...?"

"Hahaha..." Blackbeard suddenly laughed again, but this time his laughter carried an unsettling ruthlessness. "Plan remains unchanged! There's more than one position for the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"The only problem is that we have to drag one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea into this now."

Lafayette gently adjusted his soaked top hat, his high-pitched voice carrying its usual composure: "Captain, you mean..."

Blackbeard suddenly stood up, causing the raft to shake violently.

"Isn't there another Shichibukai in the first half of the Grand Line?"

Blackbeard's massive, wet body cast a heavy shadow on the swaying raft.

He wiped the seawater off his face, grinned to reveal his broken teeth, and his eyes gleamed with calculation and greed.
