One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

Through repeated categorization and brain-computer interface calculations, Nami and Robin's brain-computer interface compatibility gradually increases, and the computing power they can exert becomes increasingly powerful.

This sense of skill will remain within them forever.

Even a more advanced, entirely new brain-computer interface would allow them to use and utilize brain-computer interfaces faster than others.

In contrast to Nami and Robin's methods of "training,"

Meanwhile, Usopp and Chopper are undergoing a brutal "training" process.

Not far from the workstation, the door of a virtual training pod slid open.

A thick white fog suddenly appeared.

That wasn't a special effect of a virtual hatch opening; it was just sweat mist formed from the evaporation and condensation of sweat on Usopp's body.

Usopp staggered out like a fish out of water, then collapsed onto the warm, dry whale skin with a thud.

He was soaked in sweat, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were vacant as he stared at the sky, his chest heaving violently, and every breath he took was trembling.

"Haa...haa...this time...I'm being crushed into mincemeat by the giant's foot..."

"I must reach...the other side of the sea!"

He groaned intermittently, the feeling of being covered by a huge shadow, his bones shattered, and his consciousness fading away in excruciating pain still vivid and terrifying in his mind.

The automatic injection module activated, and a cool sedative and nutrient solution flowed into his bloodstream, helping to calm his overloaded nerves and exhausted body.

After a long while, Usopp managed to prop himself up on his elbows.

He wiped his face, shaking off the virtual "blood and sweat" and real tears, and his gaze unconsciously drifted to the side.

There, Brooke was sitting gracefully at a small folding table.

A clean white tablecloth was laid on the table, and an exquisite tea set was placed there.

Brooke steadily lifted the teacup with her slender hands, bringing it to where her lips should have been, as if gently inhaling the aroma of the black tea, before letting out a satisfied sigh:

"Yo ho ho ho~ sunshine, a gentle breeze, and the rich aroma of this foreign land..."

"This is a time of bliss that even the finest wine in Binks can't buy."

He even used his other bony hand to gently pluck the strings of the violin leaning against the table, producing a melodious note.

This extremely leisurely, almost vacation-like scene stands in stark contrast to Usopp's miserable state after crawling back from "hell".

A surge of intense bitterness and overwhelming envy welled up in Usopp's heart.

His lips twitched, and he called out in a weak but resentful voice:

"Why...why are you the only one who doesn't have to train, Brook?!"

His voice also resonated with another small figure beside him.

Chopper has just finished his "medical ninja" training journey, and he is also unsteady on his feet and seeing stars.

It plopped down on the ground, nodding tearfully in agreement: "Waaah...it's true, Brooke, virtual training...it's terrifying! Those 'death' sensations felt so real..."

"The Third Shinobi World War... people are dying everywhere. I must fight and save lives at the same time..."

"There's no way to save him! Waaah..."

Upon hearing this, Brooke gracefully put down her teacup and turned around.

Empty eye sockets "looked" at the two disheveled figures, while the flame of their souls flickered gently.

He spread his bony hands and let out his signature laugh, tinged with a hint of helplessness and humor:

"Yohohoho~ Mr. Usopp, Mr. Chopper, there's really nothing we can do about it."

He paused, then tapped his smooth forehead, producing a crisp "knock-knock" sound.

"It's because Mr. V hasn't developed a suitable 'prosthetic body' for me yet!"

“After all…” Brooke’s tone carried an absurd truth, “I’m just bones left all over! Yohohoho~!”

That's right.

Although Brook has now joined the Straw Hat Pirates, he is also the only member of the entire crew who has not undergone V's cybernetic modifications.

The reason for this is that Brooke has no brain at all, so V has no idea where to place the brain-computer interface.

"Damn it—!!!" Usopp finally couldn't hold back any longer and howled to the sky, his voice filled with resentment and indignation, "What kind of reason is that! So...so enviable!!!"

Chopper nodded vigorously, his fluffy little head brimming with envy, his round blue eyes brimming with tears of joy, and cried out in a voice trembling with emotion:

"Too cunning! Brooke is a liar!"

"Virtual training...it's hell! Waaah...I never want to face Uchiha Madara again..."

Brooke looked at the two of them in their "miserable" state, his soul fire flickering slightly, seemingly showing a hint of sympathy, but more so a sense of indifference at being unable to help.

He picked up his teacup again, and the melodious violin music began once more, as if adding a touch of incongruous leisure to this busy afternoon.

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly appeared that made Brook's teacup tremble:

"Brook! Brook!? Where are you!?"

"Come here quickly!"

"I have successfully developed a prosthetic body that you can use!!!"

Chapter 140 The Possibility of Everyone Having Conqueror's Haki (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

Let's rewind three minutes.

Inside the control room.

"It's done! It's finally done!"

V stared intently at the thin metal piece in his palm, no bigger than a fingernail, its surface shimmering with a deep blue luster. His gaze behind his glasses burned with an intense intensity.

After several days of almost non-stop deduction and trial and error, a large amount of rare metals and energy materials were consumed. They even went so far as to use trading points and dismantle the core components of several high-level combat cybernetic bodies as experimental consumables...

Finally, catalyzed by the special ability of the "Divine Hand" to turn the impossible into the possible and grant "possibilities," V overcame the seemingly unsolvable problem.

"A brain-computer interface that connects to the soul..."

V's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and emotion.

He carefully placed the thin metal sheet in the specially designed levitation tray, and with a light tap of his fingertip, activated the holographic projection.

hum-

Blue light particles intertwined in the air, constructing a three-dimensional anatomical model of the prosthetic body.

The core of the model is a metal substrate as thin as a cicada's wing, on which nanoscale circuits are etched that are almost invisible to the naked eye.

These circuits do not follow the traditional logic of electronic signal transmission, but are arranged at a special frequency that is extremely complex and seems to simulate the fluctuations of life.

The most eye-catching feature is a "probe" extending from the center of the substrate.

The probe was as thin as a hair, semi-transparent, and its surface shimmered with a strange luster. Sometimes it was as solid as crystal, and sometimes as diffuse as smoke, as if it did not exist entirely in the three-dimensional space of reality, but rather traversed between reality and some indescribable "layer".

"Soul Probe..."

V stretched out his finger, trying to touch the holographic projection, but his fingertip passed right through it without any resistance.

Golden light flashed rapidly in his eyes as he activated the Eye of Greed at full power, attempting to unravel the deeper mysteries of this prosthetic body.

In his vision, this newly formed prosthetic body was radiating an unprecedented glow of "value"—not pure gold, but a mixture of deep blue and silver-white, as profound and mysterious as the starry sky.

“The way in which creations touch the soul is presented is also completely different.”

V muttered to himself, a strong sense of accomplishment welling up inside him.

It was worth it for him to have used up one Devil Badge Shadow Fruit and one Devil Badge Ghost Fruit.

It was precisely because of the soul-enhancing abilities of the two demon badges that he was able to successfully create such a brain-computer interface.

more importantly……

“With this experience and achievement…” V’s lips curled into a sharp smile, “I will be able to develop a more convenient and systematic method for connecting prosthetic bodies to the soul in the future.”

"Whether it's a pure soul, a will dependent on external objects, or a skeletal body like Brook's, maintained by the Yomi Yomi no Mi..."

"As long as a 'soul' exists, it can be connected to, enhanced, and even modified by my prosthetic body."

This means that the Straw Hat Pirates' enhancement dimension will completely break through the limitations of the "physical body" and enter a completely new realm.

Training at the soul level, ability development, and even combat methods will undergo earth-shattering changes.

Based on the power system shown in the anime, the most powerful force in the One Piece world is neither Devil Fruits nor dual-color Haki.

This is a power that only a specific group of people are qualified to awaken—Conqueror's Haki.

However... the conditions for awakening Conqueror's Haki will inevitably make it difficult for some people to reach the true pinnacle of the world.

This includes many members of the current Straw Hat Pirates, as well as V.

Perhaps because of the login from a different location, his soul was not affected by the laws of this world, so he was not qualified to awaken Conqueror's Haki.

Although he can use his brain to simulate effects similar to Conqueror's Haki, he can only scare small fry like Doflamingo.

To stand at the pinnacle of the world, Conqueror's Haki is indispensable.

but……

Once he masters the method of influencing the soul with a cybernetic body, replicating the ability to awaken Conqueror's Haki seems to be no challenge for him.

You could even say...

By staying by Luffy's side, he could completely replicate the world's strongest potential Conqueror's Haki.

"Brook is probably still enjoying his leisurely afternoon tea time..."

V suddenly chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

After so many leisurely days, it's time for him to experience the unique charm of the Straw Hat Pirates.

……

……

Two hours later.

As Usopp and Chopper waited with curiosity, the two figures finally reappeared before them.
