One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

Page 53

"Just a pirate with a bounty of 30 million, and he's already gathering almost half the forces of the East Blue!?"

"It's absolutely ridiculous!"

Smoker shouted angrily.

As a naval captain in the East China Sea branch, he was unaware of the headquarters' true objectives.

Or rather, no one in the entire East Blue knew why the Marine Headquarters was going to such lengths to take action against the Straw Hat Pirates.

After all, the opponent is a "great pirate" comparable to Shanks, so the Navy Headquarters' secrecy is still very necessary.

This made Smoker feel extremely embarrassed.

Such a thing actually happened during the time he was guarding the East China Sea; it was a slap in the face to him.

He stood up again, walked to the window, and looked out at the seemingly calm sea outside the docks of Loguetown.

"According to intelligence, the Straw Hat crew is about to arrive in Loguetown."

"The navy's assembled fleet will arrive in Loguetown several hours later than the Straw Hat crew."

"In that case..."

Smoker's fists clenched involuntarily:

"I will bring all the guilty to justice before the naval fleet arrives!!!"

"Loguetown—a place that is both the beginning and the end..."

"This will be your final grave!!!"

The moment the words left his mouth, a chilling murderous aura suddenly filled the office.

Chapter 43 First Encounter with the Nature Department (Please continue reading~)

A gentle sea breeze swept through the harbor, causing the flags of the ships along the coast of Loguetown to flutter in the wind.

The Merry slowly docked at the pier.

"Wow~ What a big town!"

Luffy was the first to jump off the ship, excitedly gazing at this legendary place known as the "Town of Beginnings and Ends".

"Hey, Luffy, don't be so conspicuous." Nami stepped off the ship. "You're a pirate with a bounty of 3000 million Berries now."

Sanji lit a cigarette and gracefully walked down the gangway:

"Don't worry, Miss Nami."

I will protect you forever!

"You?" Zoro yawned, clearly sleepy, but as if by reflex, he launched a sarcastic attack on Sanji.

"Alright, alright."

V was the last to step off the ship, clapping his hands with a smile to interrupt Zoro and Sanji's impending argument.

“Constantly engaging in high-intensity training isn’t good either. You can do whatever you want today.”

"Anyway, there aren't many people in the East China Sea who can be your match right now."

At that moment, Bucky's head popped out of the cabin window:

"Do you need me to come with you, Lord V? I can help carry your things!"

“No need,” V waved his hand. “You’re too conspicuous. You should stay on the ship.”

“Okay!” Bucky nodded respectfully.

His body, however, had already prepared a deck chair and fruit drinks in the cabin, ready to enjoy this rare moment of freedom.

Since each member of the Straw Hat crew had a place they wanted to go, after some discussion, they finally decided to split up and go their separate ways.

V, on the other hand, is paired with Zoro.

On one hand, they were worried Zoro would get lost, and on the other hand, he was on V's gathering list...

There is a famous sword option.

……

"It actually wants to devour a sword of superior quality, like a fine sword..."

"What a strange way to advance."

V gazed at the dense stream of demand information flowing through his mind like a waterfall, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Since acquiring the ability of "God's Hand," he has been like someone who has mastered an invisible game program, with all sorts of bizarre and unpredictable ideas for cybernetic modifications constantly popping into his mind.

Most of these ideas are almost fantastical and lack any possibility of being realized.

For example, he once "saw" a plan to modify the core of the moon to create a space-based star-destroying weapon capable of destroying stars.

However, among the many seemingly absurd ideas, there are also a few feasible solutions.

However, the implementation of these solutions is often extremely complicated, filled with various demanding conditions and tortuous steps, making them by no means easy to execute.

The "devouring of famous swords" is the key step in turning Zoro's swords "Ashura" and "Kaku" into evolving weapons.

"So you mean my sword needs to 'eat' other famous swords to become stronger?"

He listened to V's idea of "devouring famous swords," raising an eyebrow slightly, but his tone remained calm, showing little surprise.

Having spent these days on the straw hat ship, he had grown accustomed to V's "crazy ideas" that sounded absurd but were often actually feasible.

"Theoretically, yes."

V pushed up his white glasses on the bridge of his nose.

To make himself look more like a researcher, he specifically chose this accessory for himself.

"The two swords you have, 'Asura' and 'Awakening', are only considered to be of the third tier in terms of level."

"In terms of its material and forging process, it can probably only be considered a 'good and fast sword' in the world of One Piece."

"Weapons of this caliber are not enough to sustain you for long."

"But for a swordsman, changing swords too frequently is not a good thing."

"That's why I had this idea..."

"Let your Asura and Awakening, and even the Wado Ichimonji, evolve autonomously and progress together with you!"

Zoro stroked his chin thoughtfully:

"Can a fully formed knife continue to grow?"

"It sounds...like a myth."

"Haha, that's true."

A thoughtful look flickered in V's eyes.

Zoro is right.

His original plan was actually even more outrageous than this.

That is to create a sword in the world of One Piece that can rival a Zanpakuto and possess unique and extraordinary abilities.

This sounds like an idea born from drug use, but with the support of the [Divine Hand] ability, it is no longer just empty talk, but has become a possible plan.

However, that plan requires too much, and even needs the support of a lot of Devil Fruit abilities.

Even with V's current capabilities and resources, he can only take the first step.

The two soon stopped in front of a weapon shop with an antique style, the shop sign bearing the three characters "Yiben Song".

"arrive."

V chuckled softly and then stepped into the store.

However, to his surprise...

"In short, if you encounter these guys, just report it to the nearest navy immediately!"

"These people are vicious pirates; we must never make contact with them."

V's pupils suddenly contracted.

Inside the shop, a tall man with a cigar in his mouth and a young female soldier wearing round glasses were talking to the shop owner with serious expressions.

The shop owner looked impatient.

"Okay! I understand, I understand, I'll be careful!"

"This is so annoying."

As the owner of a weapons shop, he had a lot of complaints about the navy.

Although the navy has successfully suppressed the pirates in Loguetown, restoring peace and tranquility to the town.

But for these weapons dealers, the absence of brainless, wealthy pirates to buy their weapons meant...

Their business has plummeted.

Why are you acting like this?!

Upon seeing this, the young female soldier was about to lecture the shop owner.

However, the man next to her patted her shoulder instead, stopping her:

"Alright, Tashigi."

"Let's go to the next one."
