One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

For a long time, in the eyes of Waver's warriors, she was even considered to lack the basic talent to be a Shandian warrior.

Even Lanqi and the others usually only praised her for her special ability to hear distant sounds.

This is the first time in her life that she has received such high praise.

“Of course!” V nodded noncommittally, his gaze behind his glasses filled with earnest approval.

"Observation Haki is a special form of spiritual power."

"The fact that you possess such powerful Observation Haki proves that your mental talent far surpasses that of ordinary people."

"If you can systematically develop and expand this talent, then your future development potential will be limitless."

V pointed to the mechanical chair, his eyes flashing: "Sit down."

"Use the brain-computer interface I prepared for you to further develop your mental abilities."

"If all goes well, you and I might find the power to change the laws of this world today!"

Aisha hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and carefully climbed onto the mechanical chair.

The cool touch made her shiver slightly, but she still sat up straight as V instructed.

The chair automatically adjusted its angle to fit her petite frame.

Several flexible sensor strips extended from the back of the chair, gently encircling her forehead and temples.

“Close your eyes and relax,” V’s voice whispered in my ear. “Next, you will see something… different.”

The next second, a slight electric current came from the contact point. It wasn't painful; instead, it felt like a warm ripple spreading through my mind.

Suddenly, tiny points of starlight appeared in the darkness.

No, that's not starlight.

Countless thin rays of light spread out from the depths of her consciousness, unfolding in all directions like a spider web, piercing through walls, crossing the sea of ​​clouds, and extending to every corner of the sky island.

At the end of each ray of light, there is a "point of light".

The points of light varied in size and brightness, some as calm as water, others as vibrant as fire.

Elsa understood instantly—

That is life.

Each point of light is a living being that is breathing, thinking, and active.

"This is!?"

Elsa's eyes widened suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, one voice after another followed:

"The apples seem sweeter today than yesterday? That damned Blackbeard! If it weren't for that good-for-nothing leading me to Qinghai, I could have eaten apples for at least another month!"

"What is Elsa doing? After saying so many comforting words to Webber, she ended up worrying about me first."

"The Marshal is really something. We've all become so powerful, yet he won't let us participate in missions."

"Ugh~ Another boring day. Ever since Lord Moria and the Straw Hat crew formed an alliance, the environment here has become bright and not gloomy at all. How annoying!"

"The food today is really good! Praise to Princess Vivi, praise to the Straw Hat Pirates..."

"........."

"........."

One sound after another reached Aisha's ears.

However, Elsa, who was already used to hearing so many sounds, did not feel any pain or discomfort.

For her, who could monitor every sound on the entire island at the same time, this sound was nothing.

It could even be said that there was absolutely no pressure.

"How are you, Elsa!?"

Just then, V's voice appeared in a mysterious way.

"Mr. V?"

With a thought, Aisha completely blocked out those sounds, leaving only a communication signal between her and V.

The next moment, V's image quietly appeared in her consciousness.

He gazed at the tiny spiritual entity before him, which had become one with the entire network yet still maintained its own clear self, and the corners of his usually calm mouth finally couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

“You really did it, Aisha!” His voice was filled with undisguised surprise and admiration.

At this moment, Aisha may not fully understand that what she has connected to is far more than just ordinary hacking equipment.

V connected her to a massive neural network hub system capable of synchronously receiving and processing brain-computer signals from all the prosthetic users he had modified via specially encrypted satellite signals.

This means that from the loyal guards of Alabasta, to the modified members of the Moonlight Pirates on Thriller Bark, and to the Shandian warriors of Skypiea who have just completed their initial modifications...

All individuals who received the brain-computer interface implanted by V had their signals reflected clearly in Aisha's now expanded consciousness "starry sky," like stars in the night sky.

Each point of light not only represents a life, but also carries a real-time updated data stream—physiological state, emotional fluctuations, environmental perception, and even some superficial fragments of thought.

What impressed V even more was the control Elsa displayed.

Surrounded by such a vast and complex torrent of information, she not only did not get lost, but was also able to accurately filter and block irrelevant signals, retaining only the communication link with V. This proves that the compatibility between her mental talent and brain-computer interface has reached a level of perfection that exceeds expectations.

In this way, Aisha alone is enough to oversee the entire Straw Hat ecosystem!

This is only because the brain-computer interface used by Elsa is the same type of 6-level high-capacity brain-computer interface as Nami's.

If a brain-computer interface or prosthetic body specifically designed for Elsa were created, she could do even more.

Of course, the oversight was just a test of Aisha's abilities by V.

What he truly cares about...

Aisha is able to achieve something on a deeper level by combining her brainwaves and Observation Haki.

That was the power he longed for... the power to change the laws of the world!

Chapter 150 Soul Encoding (Seeking monthly votes~)

V's gaze suddenly sharpened, and deep within his eyes behind his glasses, golden light and complex fluctuations of computing power intertwined and shimmered.

He leaned forward slightly, a smile of encouragement on his face, and looked at Elsa, who was sitting in the mechanical chair, her consciousness already synchronized with the vast neural network.

“Aisha,” his voice was gentle but contained a hint of barely perceptible expectation, “Now try it and see if you can activate the Ghost-Ghost Fruit’s power here.”

“Here…?” Little Aisha’s immature consciousness was slightly taken aback, and her clear eyes, reflected in the data stream, blinked.

That's right.

During the transformation, V had already chosen the demon badge for Aisha.

This is a special benefit that no other Shandians receive.

Now, Aisha, like Perona, can use the Ghost-Ghost Fruit's power to separate her soul from her body.

But that's in the real, material world.

The place they are in now is just a communication space built on data and information.

The scenes that appear to be indistinguishable from reality are actually just virtual illusions created by brain-computer interfaces.

The soul, though it may sound ethereal and illusory, is something that truly exists in the real world.

What V wants to do is to see if he can use the Ghost-Ghost Fruit's power to allow the soul and the data world to interact.

This is an unprecedented attempt.

Soul and data belong to two completely different dimensions—the former is rooted in the essence of life, while the latter is born from the cold construction of logic and algorithms.

V had previously attempted to use the Ghost-Ghost Fruit's power to allow his soul to interact directly with the data world, but the results were not ideal.

When his soul entered the data space, it was instantly subjected to a massive influx of information and bounced back.

This is because, in his soul state, V cannot access the super-powerful computing capabilities provided by the implanted brain-computer interface. His information processing efficiency immediately drops back to the level of an ordinary person, making it difficult to cope with the onslaught of data.

Even partners like Nami and Robin, who possess exceptional mental perception and analytical abilities, were unable to break through this barrier and achieve effective connection between their souls and the data dimension.

However, the moment V finished speaking, Elsa, sitting in the mechanical chair, tilted her head slightly.

"...It seems...okay?"

Her youthful and slightly confused thoughts were clearly transmitted to V through the brain-computer interface.

The next second—

hum! ! !

A subtle and strange ripple suddenly appeared in the entire data space.

That was not an expansion of computing power fluctuations, nor an abnormal disturbance of information flow, but rather a more fundamental "sense of existence".

A semi-transparent, hazy figure radiating a soft glow quietly appeared beside Aisha's consciousness.

The figure bore a striking resemblance to Elsa, its outline hazy, as if shrouded in a thin veil, yet far more real than any data projection—a kind of "reality" that touched the very soul.

"Success?!"

Even V, who was prepared, could not hide the shock and excitement in his eyes at this moment.

He quickly retrieved the real-time monitoring data of the server array.

On the screen, various parameters fluctuated wildly:

[Unknown high-dimensional energy fluctuations detected]

[Signal source: User 'Aisha']

[Energy type determination: ???]

[Data Space Interaction Status: Stable]

Recommendation: Immediately activate the isolation protocol.

"No, cancel the quarantine!"

V cut off the activation command of the automatic defense system without hesitation, his gaze fixed on the semi-transparent soul phantom.
