One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

V also needs to equip each modifier with an additional "Demon Badge".

However, after final settlement, after deducting all material and energy consumption and badge costs, V's net trading point earnings from this trip steadily exceeded 10.

"Indeed, technological monopoly is the primary productive force." V's lips curled into a slight smile.

Although these 10 trading points can only be exchanged for one-tenth of a Nika engine.

Considering that he will be conducting research in areas such as soul coding, he will probably spend all 10 transaction points very soon.

But as long as the World Government and Navy continue to demand "cyborg modification," this "production line" will continue to supply him with blood.

I just don't know... when will there be another day like today's good thing?

This time, the enemy has already dispatched Admiral Akainu. What he will face next is...

Even if they aren't members of the Knights of God, they are probably still strong individuals of roughly the same level.

Of course, what pleased V even more than the trading points was the breakthrough in capability gathering during this trip.

There are quite a few people with special abilities in government departments, including some with powerful Devil Fruit abilities.

Through this modification, he successfully recorded 12 new Devil Fruit abilities from those agents and officers.

Two of them even possess Logia-type abilities.

There are 5 types of abilities for both Paramecia and Zoan types.

The Zoan type is all ordinary Zoan type, and there are no powerful abilities such as Ancient Zoan or Mythical Zoan.

They are:

Zoological category: Insect fruit: Stick insect morphology;

Zoan type, Bird-Bird Fruit, Peregrine Falcon form;

Zoan type, Inu Inu Fruit, Doberman Pinscher form;

Zoan type, Ox-Ox Fruit, Buffalo form;

Zoan-type Dog-Dog Fruit - Wolf Form.

There's not much to say about Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities; they simply amplify the user's physical strength and grant them the characteristics of the corresponding animal.

The remaining five Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, however, caught V's eye.

Because almost every one of these Devil Fruit abilities is quite formidable:

Paramecia type: Mimicry Fruit.

The effect is to mimic the superior ability of the fruit, which can not only mimic the appearance of the target, but also mimic various kinds of existence, whether it is birds and beasts, flowers and trees, or even rocks and water. As long as the ability is used to "observe", the mimicry can be completed.

Depending on the target being mimicked, the ability user can also receive corresponding effect amplification.

This ability may seem to be a Paramecia type, but it is enough to encompass the effects of Logia and Zoan types. If used properly, it can even be more powerful than either of them.

Paramecia type: Key-Key Fruit.

The effect is that it allows the user to generate a "keyhole" and a corresponding "key" on any physical or conceptual "closed" structure.

Keys can be used to "unlock"—whether it's a physical door or a safe, or an abstract memory lock, energy barrier, or even a potential limitation within a living organism.

Once the ability is developed to a high level, it can even create "locks of the heart" to temporarily block the target's emotions or will to act.

Paramecia-type Heartstring Fruit.

A rare mental-type Devil Fruit ability.

Users of the Heartstring Fruit can sense and pluck the "heartstrings" of living beings (including themselves), thereby influencing their emotions and subconscious.

The basic abilities are emotional resonance (amplifying a certain emotion of the target) or emotional soothing;

Advanced applications include powerful control effects such as "heartstring manipulation" and "heartstring resonance".

Paramecia type: Track Fruit.

This is more of a conceptual level of Devil Fruit ability.

Those who consume it can see and interfere with the "trajectory lines" of objects or energy movements.

The basic ability is "trajectory prediction": predicting the next move by observing the trajectory line, which can be regarded as an enhanced version of the basic combat prediction of Observation Haki.

Advanced ability "Trajectory Editing": Allows for minor modifications to the trajectory, causing attacks to deflect, objects to move along unusual paths, or creating the optimal route for oneself.

This is also the ability that V values ​​most.

If used properly, it can be regarded as a vector manipulation, or even more manipulable.

Unfortunately, in order not to reveal too much, he did not undergo the ability-changing surgery in Marineford.

Otherwise, the strength of this Devil Fruit ability could be fully tested in the battle with Akainu.

The last Paramecia-type Devil Fruit ability is called the Weave-Weave Fruit.

Its effect is similar to that of the Sewn Fruit.

The only difference is that the Sewing Fruit stitches two objects together.

The Weaving Fruit allows for the simultaneous manipulation of multiple objects, and can even weave linear concepts such as light, wind direction, and water flow.

Their combat ability may be average, but if used well, they can definitely achieve remarkable results in other areas.

As for the remaining two Logia-type Devil Fruit abilities, they are the Dust-Dust Fruit and the Cloud-Cloud Fruit.

The Dust-Dust Fruit has abilities that are somewhere between the Smoke-Smoke Fruit and the Sand-Sand Fruit.

It is not as light and versatile as the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, nor as heavy and solid as the Sand-Sand Fruit, which combines offense and defense.

But precisely because of this, it possesses the characteristics of both.

It can transform itself into extremely fine dust particles, like the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, silently seeping into various gaps, or it can create a wide-ranging storm to attack, like the Sand-Sand Fruit.

The Cloud Fruit, however, was an even more surprising and delightful gain for V.

Even the instant he detected this ability, he had already found its ideal master—Nami.

The fruit's ability seems simple and straightforward: to generate and manipulate large-scale clouds and mist.

But what's truly astonishing is its unparalleled plasticity—the physical properties and form of the clouds and mist can change entirely according to the will of the user:

Ice Crystal Cloud: Releases a chilling aura that can freeze objects it touches or create frost-covered areas.

Cumulonimbus clouds: contain abundant water vapor, which can bring down heavy rain and cause localized flooding.

Thunderclouds: Clouds that accumulate high-voltage charges that can guide natural lightning or directly release electric shocks.

Cirrocumulus clouds: manipulate airflow to form whirlwinds or turbulence, interfering with flight, navigation, or altering local climate.

This direct manipulation of "weather elements" is a perfect match for Nami's style of weather warfare, which relies on the Weather Stick.

Nami's keen intuition and rich experience, combined with precision instruments and complex calculations, may be the first stepping stone for her to become a strong person!

Chapter 164 Departure: The Adventure Continues

The aircraft smoothly passed through the last cloud, and the iconic white outline of the sky island gradually became clear.

V leaned back in the driver's seat, his gaze shifting from the porthole to the holographic projection floating in front of him.

There, rows of data were scrolling silently, representing the badge library statistics updated after the Battle of Marineford.

"Leaving aside the 18 Devil Fruits that the World Government hasn't yet fulfilled," V murmured to himself, tracing the projection with his fingertip and marking the "pending fulfillment" section in gray, "I now have 44 Devil Badges unlocked."

Forty-four badge icons of different shapes and colors are neatly arranged in the virtual interface.

Each one represents a "fragment of rules" that has been analyzed, solidified, and can be used by him.

"Hiss..." V gasped, his eyes behind his glasses widening slightly, a mixture of disbelief and intense excitement flashing across his face. "I didn't know until I calculated it, and I was shocked."

"Without realizing it, have the Devil Fruit abilities I've accumulated already started to reach three digits?"

Think back to the beginning, when he obtained his first demon badge from Smoker, and then cautiously made various attempts.

Unexpectedly, after entering the Grand Line, in less than half a year, the number of badges increased by leaps and bounds, like a snowball rolling downhill, and his ability pool expanded to an astonishing size in a very short period of time.

"Thinking about it is actually quite exciting."

V couldn't help but smile; the sense of accomplishment from mastering knowledge, analyzing the rules of the world, and making them his own far surpassed the mere acquisition of great power.

This is a kind of pleasure for the creator, the interpreter, and the controller.

He closed the badge library interface and turned his gaze back to the window.

The edge of God's Island is almost within reach, where a city full of ancient charm sits prominently on its edge.

That was the golden land of Sandora, which had been sleeping deep within the island.

With Luffy's Nika power, the city was uprooted and transported from underground to the surface, where it was placed in the Shandian settlement.

Now, under the care of the Shandians, this city, which had been abandoned for hundreds of years, has once again come to life.

Although Enel had already collected the gold, this did not diminish the Shandians' fondness for it.

A moment later, the aircraft emitted a low hum, adjusted its attitude, and slowly descended towards its designated berth on the outskirts of the God's Abode.

The hatch opened, and the unique air of the sky island, carrying the sweet scent of clouds and the fragrance of the earth, rushed in.

V took a deep breath and stepped onto the solid, familiar ground.

Shouts and the sound of metal clashing came from the distant sky, as blazing flames and terrifying slashes collided.

That's Zoro and Sanji sparring.

Meanwhile, Luffy was also training his Observation Haki in Enel's Thunderous Purgatory.

Usopp and Chopper are directing and assisting the robots and Shandians in the final stages of base construction.

Robin and Nami are not here. V, who has access to the group chat, knows that they are currently on Angel Island, inspecting a shellfish farming project on the Sky Island.

As for Brook, he and Aisha were researching the interaction between the soul and the prosthetic body.

"It seems that everyone has kept up their guard while I was away."

V grinned.

When his figure appeared at the edge of the plaza of the abode of the gods, Luffy, who was undergoing intensive Observation Haki training with Enel, was the first to sense his presence.

"V!!!"
