One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

He noticed that the light representing neural network connections around Aisha's consciousness changed the moment the soul appeared.

The originally clear and straight data link was now slightly distorted, as if it were being pulled by some invisible force field.

And those information flows that could only be transmitted in one direction before have begun to show slight reverse fluctuations.

"The soul... is interacting with the data..."

V's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

He quickly retrieved more detailed monitoring logs, and lines of complex data flashed past his eyes.

Through brain-computer interface technology, he can clearly distinguish...

Elsa's soul is engaging in a substantial interaction with the data world built from 0s and 1s!

Although the depth and breadth of the interaction are still very limited, and the coupling is far from ideal, this is already a disruptive beginning.

"Aisha, try to touch those points of light with your 'soul'."

V's voice was filled with barely suppressed anticipation.

He pointed to the points of light in the starry sky of consciousness that represented other brain-computer interface users.

Elsa's soul stirred slightly.

She stretched out her translucent little hand and carefully reached for the nearest point of light—that represented Lanqi, who had just completed her transformation.

The instant your fingertips are about to touch—

hum! ! !

A ripple hundreds of times stronger than before suddenly spread out!

The entire data space trembled violently, the indicator lights on the server array flashed wildly, and the flow rate of the coolant pipes instantly soared to the warning threshold.

Aisha's consciousness trembled violently, and her illusory soul image rapidly faded before disappearing completely.

At that moment, the server, which was placed in the coolant, also burst into intense flames.

"Elsa, are you alright!?"

V quickly disconnected Aisha from the server system and transferred her to the nursing ward in the control room.

The system scan results came back quickly.

Fortunately... Aisha only fell into a coma temporarily due to excessive mental energy consumption, and there was no substantial damage.

After settling Aisha in, V returned to the now chaotic server room.

The thick smoke was gradually drawn away by the efficient filtration system, but the smell of burning still lingered in the air.

The burn marks remaining on the coolant pipes resembled ugly scars. The casings of several server arrays were twisted and deformed, and the indicator lights were completely extinguished. Only the central processing unit area was still emitting a low hum and intermittent electrical sparks.

V stood in the center of the wreckage, his gaze sweeping over the mess.

The damaged hardware was valuable, but the golden light dancing in his eyes at that moment did not come from these cold metals and silicon wafers.

"As expected, is it still too difficult to encode a soul?"

V muttered to himself, the lens reflecting the still-scrolling, fragmented data stream on the screen.

Even so, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

The difficulty, however, precisely demonstrates that this matter can be accomplished.

Now, the materials and the "key" to connecting souls are all ready.

The next key step is to comprehensively enhance Aisha's capabilities.

Whether it's her mental strength, her Observation Haki, or the extent to which she has developed her Ghost-Ghost Fruit.

As long as she can successfully establish a soul link with others in the data world and realize the digitization of souls, V can use her powerful coding ability to modify and strengthen souls in a targeted manner, just like processing gene sequences.

"If I can be promoted to a Level 7 prosthetic doctor, this project might go much more smoothly." A faint golden light shimmered in V's eyes.

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly chuckled softly, shaking his head with a hint of self-deprecation:

"As a transmigrator, it's really not easy to get yourself a Conqueror's Haki.

Chapter 151 Make the Decision You Think Is Right (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

Perhaps even the heavens sensed V's inner longing.

Just then, a Den Den Mushi hidden inside him suddenly opened its eyes and started making a "bru bru" sound.

"Ok?"

V paused for a moment, then a hidden door suddenly opened on his body, and he took out a white Den Den Mushi.

This Den Den Mushi has a simple and unadorned design. Its shell is pure milky white without any decoration, except for a tiny naval insignia on the top of the shell.

Nowadays, almost everyone connected to the Straw Hat Pirates has undergone cybernetic modifications, with satellite communication chips implanted in their brains.

If needed, you can contact them directly via encrypted satellite frequency, which is both secure and fast.

Now, there's only one person who still needs to contact him privately using this traditional Den Den Mushi (snail phone)...

That was Fleet Admiral Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters.

"Looking for me at this time, could it be that..."

A look of anticipation flashed in V's eyes, and he immediately answered the Den Den Mushi.

The Den Den Mushi's appearance immediately changed, its expression becoming serious and dignified, and a small tuft of fluffy sideburns seemed to grow from the corner of its mouth.

"..." The Den Den Mushi opened its mouth, but did not make a sound immediately.

This is the habitual silence that precedes the opening in the Warring States period, serving both to confirm the safety of the route and to exert invisible pressure.

A few seconds later, a deep, steady, and authoritative voice slowly rang out, each word clear and forceful:

“V”.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period." V's lips curled into a slight smile.

There are probably only a handful of pirates in the entire world who can communicate directly with the Fleet Admiral.

V smiled and said, "Contacting me at this time... it seems you've already taken care of things on your end?"

"The highest level of the World Government, the 'Five Elders,' has officially issued the order."

The Warring States period gets straight to the point.

"They've agreed to cooperate with you, and they've accepted all your offers, with only one requirement..."

The Sengoku-esque expression simulated by the Den Den Mushi became even more serious, each word seemingly carrying immense weight:

"That means you need to have the surgery done as soon as possible."

A sharp golden glint flashed in his eyes behind the V-shaped lenses, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

“As expected.” His voice was calm. “The World Government needs power to deal with the coming storm, and the ‘modification plan’ I’m offering is the fastest and most efficient way for them to enhance their power at present.”

A deep, resonant response came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi:

"Yes."

"The research progress of the Naval Science Unit has always lagged behind the needs. Although Vegapunk is a genius, the World Government does not trust him."

"If I'm not mistaken...their next step is to have you take down Dr. Vegapunk."

"After all, compared to an idealistic madman, pirates who value profit are more reassuring to them."

“Heh…” V sneered, but wasn’t too surprised. “It really does seem like something the World Government would do.”

To the world, the image of a world government may be one of power, invincibility, and unapproachability.

V, who knows the plot, is well aware of the despicable and petty things the World Government has done.

While we don't know what Im is like sitting on the Void Throne, judging from the Five Elders' performance, their vision and foresight are simply not worthy of sitting in that position.

"Tell them I agreed."

"As for the specific time and location of the surgery, let's stick with Marineford."

"This will make it easier for you to bring in more people."

V smiled at the Den Den Mushi, his voice calm and composed.

When talking about Marineford, they spoke as if it were their own home, showing none of the awe and fear that ordinary pirates have for the Marine Headquarters.

"...You've certainly thought this through thoroughly."

Sengoku's voice came through the Den Den Mushi, low and tinged with a barely perceptible sense of helplessness.

Associating with pirates would undoubtedly be the biggest stain on his career.

But as V made it clear, he did not trust the World Government and was resistant to many of its actions.

However, Sengoku was also well aware of how terrifying the power accumulated by the World Government was.

The accumulation of eight hundred years of global dominance cannot be overthrown by him and a few people in just a few decades.

They... also need to accumulate strength.

Even if this power comes from the enemy.

V chuckled lightly: "Just let me know a week in advance once the list of personnel is finalized."

"Hmm." Zhan Guo pondered for a moment, then brought up another topic that interested V:

"As for your need to enter Impel Down to conduct human experiments..."

"If your performance this time satisfies the Five Elders, they are willing to grant you this request."

"That's really... great."

V licked his lips, added some details, and then hung up the phone.

Looking at the chaotic server room, he felt a surge of joy.

"Everything is really thriving!"
