One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

The group of five returned to Koya Manor.

With the soothing words of Butler Merry, the manor had returned to peace, and everyone went back to their respective jobs.

Kaya, who was still grieving, had already ordered a sumptuous dinner to be prepared.

Dinner ended in a subtle atmosphere as Luffy devoured the food.

During this time, Luffy and Usopp quickly became friends.

Whether it was due to the alcohol or not, after witnessing Luffy's power, Usopp actually dared to put his arm around Luffy's shoulder and boast about his "80 million subordinates".

……

……

Night falls.

The second floor of the manor villa.

Nami, using the candlelight in the corridor, arrived at the door of a guest room.

Before she could even knock, the door suddenly opened from the inside, revealing V's mature face.

"You're here? Come in quickly!"

As they were talking, V stepped aside and entered the house.

Two glasses of red wine were already prepared on the table in the guest room.

Nami followed him in, looking around the room, then asked, feigning composure:

"Why did you call me so late?"

"Let me make this clear beforehand, I only sell my art, not my body!"

"Sell yourself?" V looked at Nami with amusement. "You're overthinking it. I prefer someone more mature."

Although in the near future, she will grow into a great woman with a heart full of ambition.

But Nami is only just beginning to show her potential; the best is yet to come.

With so many beautiful women in the world of One Piece, V has no intention of turning his colleagues into his sexual partners.

After all, that would make it difficult for him to randomly stab Nami.

"Please have a seat."

He patted the back of the chair and gestured to Nami.

After Nami sat down, he finally spoke with a smile:

"Actually, I'm quite surprised. With such a good opportunity after dinner, you didn't run away with 100 million Berries."

"..." Nami pursed her lips and stubbornly rolled her eyes. "You think I don't want to?!"

"It's all because you guys are like monsters, scaring me so much that I don't dare to make any rash moves."

She wasn't lying.

If it weren't for V's strange and unusual methods, she would have already run away with 100 million Berries.

"Haha...Is that so?"

V chuckled softly, but then his tone changed:

"So, do you want to become one of the monsters too?"

"Huh?" Nami was suddenly taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says."

"If you want, after tonight you too can become a strong person like Luffy!"

"Even... personally slaying the Arlong Pirates to avenge Cocoyasi Village!"

V stared at Nami, his deep prosthetic eye reflecting the abyss.

He slowly opened his palm, and a chip-like metal component, contained in a transparent square box, was quietly in his hand.

This was a brand-new prosthetic body that he had obtained by exchanging it for Kro's brain.

It must be said that Kuro truly deserves to be recognized by Oda himself as a top-tier strategist.

Despite having only a Tier 2 energy body, he managed to exchange it for a Tier 5 prosthetic body.

This was something even V hadn't anticipated.

【Hundred Calculations - Core Calculation】

【Effect:

Overclocked computing power: After implantation, it significantly enhances the brain's information processing capabilities, enabling rapid analysis of complex environmental data (such as weather, ocean currents, and celestial phenomena), and high-speed simulation and deduction of battlefield situations and tactical layouts.

Intelligent memory enhancement: Significantly improves memory capacity and retrieval efficiency, ensuring photographic memory and enabling the digitization and storage of experience data to form a "tactical library" that can be accessed at any time.

Neural load optimization: Significantly increases the upper limit of prosthetic load, allowing multiple high-load prosthetics to operate simultaneously without causing neural overload or loss of consciousness, reducing the risk of cyberpsychosis.

Price: 2

This is a tier 5 prosthetic body that isn't particularly outstanding.

Compared to the [Military Technology - Telelocation - Sianwistan] which allows V to achieve "self-time acceleration" within his brain, the [Hundred Plans - Calculation Core] itself has no special combat abilities.

Its only advantage is that it has a faster reaction time, more computing power, and greater capacity than a conventional 5th-order brain-computer interface.

These characteristics have no practical value to V.

However, it is precisely this purely auxiliary prosthetic body, which focuses on "calculation" and "bearing," that perfectly matches Nami's tactical role as a navigator.

So the moment V saw this prosthetic body, he already had a plan for modifying Nami in mind.

This plan also served as a crucial opportunity for him to lure Nami into officially joining the Straw Hat Pirates.

"How are you, Nami?"

"Should we continue like this, or make a choice now..."

"The decision is in your hands."

The candlelight in the room flickered in Nami's eyes, reflecting the burning hatred deep within her heart.

The night outside the window was deep and dark, as if a ferocious beast was lurking there.

At that moment, the girl in orange unhesitatingly placed her hand in V's palm.

"Isn't the answer to this question obvious?!"

Nami's voice was soft, and a sly smile played on her lips.

V grinned.

"Welcome to the team, Nami."

Chapter 27 Why don't I just be your sparring partner?

The next morning.

The bright sunshine shone on the deck of the Merry, and the cries of seagulls came from the sky.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Usopp smiled confidently and threw the paintbrush back into the paint bucket.

"OK, mission accomplished!"

"How about it?"

"I told you my drawing skills were top-notch, didn't I!?"

Usopp stood with his hands on his hips and his nose in the air, as if waiting for everyone's praise.

next second...

"Sri Kingdom One!"

Luffy, who wasn't very educated, spoke first, excitedly raising the pirate flag on the ground.

The flag features the classic straw hat and skull design.

The only difference is...

A crystal-clear, deep blue prosthetic eye was embedded in the skull's left eye.

"That's awesome!" Luffy stretched out his arms and unfurled the pirate flag, which fluttered in the wind.

"Not bad, long nose."

Zoro put down the discus marked 0.5t, a slight smile playing on his lips. "It's cooler than I imagined."

Nami, standing to the side, nodded in agreement:

"Not bad, not bad~"

Since praising someone doesn't cost any money, why not do it?

It is worth noting that...

At this point, Nami had completely changed her appearance.

She was originally slender, delicate, and lovely, like an unborn girl next door.

Now, Nami's delicate arms have long since disappeared.

Instead, he had a pair of cold, silver metal prosthetics.

This was none other than the Tier 4 cybernetic body that V had ripped from Bucky's body—[Split Wings].

Of course, to prevent Nami from encountering a better prosthetic body in the future, her arm V was not directly treated.

Instead, it was stored intact in the control room.

In addition, Nami now possesses a Tier 5 cybernetic body, the [Hundred Plans Calculation Core].

The two prosthetic bodies are worth a total of 3 transaction points.

This doesn't even include the value of the drone consumables.

It's fair to say that, aside from V, Nami is the richest member of the Straw Hat crew.
