One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

"That damn green-haired guy," Sanji muttered under his breath in dissatisfaction.

Since Zoro snatched the strongest target, he had no choice but to settle for second best.

In the end, Sanji's gaze fell on Burgess.

It wasn't that he thought the other party was particularly powerful.

The remaining few were all so bad that he had no choice but to settle for second best.

"I'll take care of that muscle idiot." Sanji took a deep drag on his cigarette and lightly tapped his right toe on the ground. "Hopefully he'll be a good punching bag."

"You come here...you come here..."

Usopp is humble and polite, and never competes or fights.

He had calculated it... If each person were to fight one, the Blackbeard Pirates wouldn't be enough to go around.

That way, he might not have to participate in the war.

Are you kidding me?

V has said more than once that Blackbeard's crew is not simple and is not an ordinary pirate.

Of course, he had to stay far away from something so dangerous.

It's not like you have to go.

However... just as Usopp took a step back, the sensation from his foot made him freeze.

He slowly turned his head and met V's smiling face, which instantly sent chills down his spine.

"Where are you going, Usopp?"

Usopp's voice trembled almost imperceptibly as he chuckled dryly, "I was just... trying to find a perfect sniping spot to provide long-range fire support for everyone!"

"I see." V raised an eyebrow noncommittally.

Suddenly, his feet turned into a cloud of smoke and lifted Usopp up.

"I do know a place that is absolutely the best sniping spot."

Usopp, suspended in mid-air, was sweating profusely. "W-Where is this place!?"

“Of course, it’s on the enemy’s face!” V suddenly smiled.

The next instant, he kicked out with a powerful kick, sending Usopp flying towards Van Augur's location.

He remembered that in the original story, Usopp lost to Van Augur in a sniper duel.

Exactly...

Let this Usopp avenge the Usopp from the other timeline.

"Then I'll go and deal with that pretty boy."

Seeing V's gaze turn towards her, Nami immediately made her choice.

It just so happens that the drone swarm on the USS Merry has been deployed for a long time, but there hasn't been an opportunity to conduct a real-world test.

Finally, Chopper looked at Robin, a hint of nervousness and anticipation in his eyes, and asked, "There's only one person left. Are you going to deal with him, Robin?"

He was referring to the sickly-looking Doc Q lying on the white horse's back, coughing incessantly.

Robin followed Chopper's gaze and saw Doc Q slowly pulling an apple from his pocket, a half-smile on his pale face.

She hesitated slightly, then gracefully clasped her hands together in front of her chest—

"What an annoying guy~ Well then, I'll take over..."

"Wait a minute, Robin, who said there's only one person left?"

V suddenly interrupted Robin's response.

He smiled mysteriously, his dark blue prosthetic eye behind his glasses gleaming with a cunning light, and leaned down to gesture to Chopper:

"Didn't you see... that sickly white horse wasn't an ordinary creature either?"

Chopper was taken aback and subconsciously looked at the skinny, dejected white horse that Doc Q was riding.

The horse looked so weak it seemed like it could collapse at any moment, its coat dull and lifeless, and its breathing had a faint gurgling sound—it looked like just an ordinary sick horse.

“V, you mean…you want me to go and fight his horse?” Chopper tilted his head in confusion, his little hooves scratching the ground nervously.

"That's right!"

V patted Chopper's fluffy head, his tone suddenly turning excited:

"Don't underestimate it! Based on my deduction, that's no ordinary sick horse!"

"Trust me, it's worth your all!"

Chopper glanced at the "sick horse" below, then at V's determined expression, and finally took a deep breath.

Although I don't understand why at all, since V said so...

"I-I understand!" Chopper nodded vigorously, his body beginning to swell and deform. "In that case—leave it to me!"

He leaped into the air, transforming into his agile form in three stages, and using Moonwalk to instantly arrive in front of Doc Q.

"Hey……"

Chopper's voice trembled, even a little timid, as he made his first provocation, but he still mustered his courage and shouted at Doc Q:

"Get down!"

"I'm going to attack your horse now!"

PoisonQ: ? ? ?

Sick Horse Zhuangzhuang: ? ? ?

Just as Doc Q and his sick horse "Strong" were both momentarily stunned by Chopper's words, "I'm going to beat your horse,"—

From the shadows beneath Doc Q's feet, dozens, even hundreds, of smooth and agile arms suddenly emerged without warning!

Those arms were fair-skinned and had flexible joints, like strange vines growing from the ground, intertwining, stacking, and coalescing with lightning speed!

In the blink of an eye, countless arms combined in the air to form a gigantic hand, its fingers seemingly slender yet brimming with power.

Doc Q's pupils suddenly contracted. His intuition, honed by years of living with death, sensed danger, but his body reacted too slowly.

He instinctively tried to urge his muscular physique to dodge, but the giant hand had already taken shape, and with a subtle rather than brute force, it precisely slapped towards his side—

It wasn't a powerful strike, but rather a brilliantly executed "push".

"boom!"

A muffled thud.

Poison Q felt a gentle yet irresistible force coming from his waist. As if gently nudged by an invisible master, he was involuntarily thrown off his horse, tracing a clumsy arc before crashing with a "thud" into the splintered wood and dust several meters away.

The apple he had just taken out of his hand, which he hadn't yet tampered with, rolled to the side, and then...

boom!!!

An ordinary-looking apple contained a powerful explosive and suddenly exploded.

"Cough...cough cough!" Poison Q clutched his waist and abdomen, coughing violently, and for the first time, a genuine look of shock and anger appeared on his pale face.

Almost at the same moment, an elegant figure flapped its wings, which were made up of countless arms, and descended slowly from the mist high in the castle like an angel, landing lightly beside Chopper.

It was Nicole Robin.

She gracefully clasped her hands in front of her chest, a gentle smile on her face, and turned to Chopper, who was still in a fighting stance, and said:

"Alright, obstacle cleared. The rest is up to you. Good luck, Chopper!"

Her voice was calm and trusting, which immediately calmed Chopper's tense emotions.

Chopper was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up with a bright light.

"Okay! Leave it to me!"

Chopper nodded emphatically.

This is his first battle since joining the Straw Hat Pirates, and he must perform well.

Regardless of whether the opponent is a person or a horse!

at the same time.

Boom!

A deafening roar of thunder descended from the sky, striking not far behind Chopper like divine punishment.

Clearly, Zoro has already begun clashing with Enel and has forced Enel to unleash his ultimate attack.

This bolt of lightning also signifies that the battle between the Straw Hat Pirates and Blackbeard's crew has officially begun!

Chapter 122 Gara? Breaking Boundaries, Elastic Freedom (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

"Gum-Gum... Orochi Fist!"

Just as the Straw Hat crew was choosing their opponents, the battle between Luffy and Blackbeard also entered a heated phase.

Luffy's low growl exploded on the Thriller Bark, which was shrouded in thick fog.

He maintained his Gear Fourth: Orochi form, with dark red Haki flowing like lava beneath his black skin, and his body lines were even more slender and lean than Elastiman's.

In the next instant, his right arm suddenly transformed into a giant, serpentine snake. Instead of shooting out in a straight line, it lunged forward in a bizarre, arrhythmic trajectory that completely defied the laws of physics!

This is the core of the Orochi Fist—using advanced Armament Haki to precisely control the elasticity and extensibility of rubber, making the fist path completely unrestricted by joints and muscle structure, as if it were a living creature with independent life, turning and changing speed at will on the attack path until it hits the target!

With the tenfold training efficiency boost from the "Effort Leads to Success" prosthetic body, Luffy's mastery of Gear Fourth is improving rapidly.

Especially in the days following his discovery that Ace had been captured, he devoted himself to training with all his might.

Not only are the form transitions as natural as breathing, but the refined control over domineering aura has also reached an unprecedented level.

That punch was fast, unpredictable, and tricky!

Blackbeard's pupils contracted sharply, and a dark vortex hastily opened in front of him, attempting to devour this unpredictable attack.

However, just as Orochi was about to touch the darkness, it suddenly turned sharply upwards as if it had a mind of its own, bypassing the front of the vortex and slamming into Blackbeard from his blind spot—below his chin!

boom!
