One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in V's eyes.

"It's like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy. I was just thinking of testing the strength of the new prosthetic body when someone delivered it to my door."

Although the Black Cat Pirates no longer have Hundred Plans Kuro, they can still be considered a dominant force in the East Blue.

Both Django, with a bounty of 900 million Berries, and the cat-man brothers, with a bounty of 700 million Berries, are worthy of being called "Great Pirates of the East Blue".

"What should we do? Should we run away!?"

Nami, who lacked a sense of power, immediately made a suggestion that was bound to be rejected.

Luffy and Zoro retorted instantly without a moment's hesitation:

"don't want!!!"

They haven't fought for days, and if this continues, their bodies will start to rust.

This coincides perfectly with V's idea.

Unfortunately……

These two guys' bodies are probably going to continue to rust.

"Hey, Luffy, Zoro!"

V suddenly smiled slyly.

"How about we have a competition to see who among the three of us gets the most kills?"

"How about the loser cleans the toilets for a month?"

"A competition?!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy's eyes flashed, and he instantly became interested.

Zoro smiled slightly and said, "Alright!"

After training all morning, he was planning to test his progress in combat.

"Okay, it's settled then!"

V no longer hid her barely suppressed laughter.

The next second, he waved his hand, and a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

It was none other than Buggy the Clown, the former member of Roger's Pirates whom he had transformed into a battle puppet!

"Go, Bucky!"

"Let Luffy and the others see your power!"

At V's command, Bucky, possessing basic intelligence, immediately and loyally responded:

"Yes, Master."

Then, he raised his arms.

Under Luffy and Zoro's astonished gazes, 10 reconnaissance drones and 2 combat drones swarmed out.

They streaked across the sky, hurtling towards the Black Cat Pirates' ship.

Chapter 19, let's make an appearance, little darling!

The Black Cat Pirates, separated by several nautical miles, have not yet noticed anything amiss here.

Ten Ghost Eye reconnaissance drones, controlled by Pakistan, swept silently across the sea like a swarm of ghosts.

Their optical camouflage coating is almost completely transparent in sunlight, with only occasional faint spots of reflected light indicating their presence.

Almost simultaneously, high-definition images and thermal imaging data transmitted back by the drone flooded into V's brain-computer interface like a waterfall.

"Wuhu~ The clarity is much higher than I expected?"

"Luckily, I have a Level 5 brain."

It was the puppet that made them, and it was also the puppet that broke them.

Although Buggy was completely controlled through special means, the Puppet Program could never replace the complexities of the human heart.

Therefore, V still needs to personally take charge of the battle.

The drones that appeared to fly out of Bucky's body were actually all controlled by V.

"V, what are you doing!?"

"You're cheating!"

Seeing V pull off some inexplicable stunt again, Luffy and Zoro's expressions changed drastically.

It's in a man's nature to be competitive, but a gamble he's destined to lose will only make him feel like a fool.

The two immediately protested.

But V seemed not to hear him and scratched his ear.

"Cheating? What cheating?"

He smiled slightly and looked at Nami.

"Referee, you be the judge!"

"What about my business?"

Nami paused, then coughed lightly twice:

"After arbitration by the referee panel, it was determined that player V's operation was normal, and the match continues."

Are you kidding me?

The 1300 million bill is still in V's hands.

Although defaulting on debts is Nami's innate talent, it's rendered useless under V's powerful threat.

"Corrupt referee! Corrupt referee!"

Luffy and Zoro protested angrily.

All he got in return was a defiant smile from V.

at the same time.

The Black Cat Pirates' ships were also accelerating their approach.

Just as V had guessed, these cunning villains, who had been suppressing their anger for three years, finally could no longer endure it at the last moment before they were about to be released.

He remained unmoved even as two gleaming ships passed in front of him.

Are they even considered pirates then?!

"My men!"

The cat-men, Buzz and Sam, stood on either side of the bow.

Compared to the ruthless Kuro and the lazy Zango, the cat-man brothers, who are the third in command, are more to the liking of the Black Cat Pirates.

"See those two ships up ahead?!"

Buji spread his fur-covered arms, his sharp claws scrambling in the air, making a hissing sound as they cut through the wind.

"Although Captain Crowe has given orders that no one is allowed to make any rash moves before the official operation begins."

But today is an exception!

Sam licked his lips, a cruel glint in his eyes:

"Anyway, tomorrow is the day the 'plan' begins, so let's have a little fun early... Captain Crowe shouldn't blame us, right?"

"Ouch——!!!"

The pirates on deck erupted in excited roars.

The bloodlust that had been suppressed for three years was completely ignited at this moment.

They raised their swords and pointed their guns at the two seemingly ordinary ships in the distance.

Full speed ahead!

"Rob all their treasure! Kill all the men! Kill all the women..."

boom--!!!

Before Sam could finish speaking, a sudden explosion rang out from the starboard side of the ship!

Wood chips and flames shot into the sky, and the violent shaking caused the entire ship to tilt sharply.

"What's going on!?"

"Enemy attack!?"

The cat-men staggered to their feet, looking in shock and anger toward the direction of the explosion.

But apart from the churning waves, there was nothing on the sea.

"There it is!"

A sharp-eyed pirate suddenly pointed to the sky.

Two streamlined black drones, about the size of falcons, were hovering fifty meters off the ship's side, with traces of smoke from their small cannons still visible beneath their fuselages.

"What is that thing!?"

Buzhi's pupils suddenly contracted.

He had never seen such a bizarrely shaped "weapon" before.

But his pirate instincts made him roar immediately:

"Fire! Shoot them down!"

Bang Bang Bang!

Bullets rained down on the drone.

However, the two "Armor-Piercing Bee" combat drones simply flipped over lightly, dodging the barrage with unconventional maneuverability, and then opened fire again.

Whoosh—!
