One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

"Although this Coby isn't a member of the main cast, judging by his achievements in ruining Garp, he certainly won't disappoint me, right?"

Just as V was filled with anticipation, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the ruins of the ship's cabin:

"Damn bastards... I'll grind you all into mincemeat!!!"

The next instant, smoke and dust exploded, and Alvida's massive body staggered out.

Her face was covered in blood, and her eyes burned with a frenzied rage.

Upon seeing this, V's eyes lit up once again:

"As expected of the world of One Piece, to suffer such an impact and only get superficial injuries!?"

"But that's just right..."

He smiled and leaped lightly, appearing directly in front of Alvida.

"Hey, fat lady."

V's voice was soft, but it touched a nerve with Alvida, causing her to turn her head instantly.

"You bastard! Who are you calling a fat woman!?"

Alvida charged forward angrily, brandishing her enormous spiked club.

As V watched the voluptuous figure crashing into him, his eyes were suddenly filled with a stream of data.

"I see."

"Is this what it feels like to fight with a cybernetic body?!"

At that moment, the world seemed to have been put on pause.

In V's line of sight, Alvida's impact speed, arrival time, and movement pattern were all marked on his line of sight.

It's as if the whole world has been digitized.

This also allowed him to clearly predict all of Alvida's next moves.

At least to some extent, this ability is no less than Observation Haki.

Chapter 4 A First Try

Peng!

The heavy spiked club, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed solidly into V's left arm, which he was raising to parry.

The dull thud of the collision sounded particularly abrupt in the sea breeze.

However, to everyone's surprise...

After being hit by Alvida, V was completely unharmed and didn't even take a step back.

"Is that all the strength you have?"

Completely letting loose, V looked at Alvida with amusement.

He had certainly anticipated Alvida's attack route, but he still chose not to dodge and instead faced it head-on.

Why, you ask?

His answer was just two words: "I'm not afraid!"

No need to be afraid, there's no need to dodge!

"Unfortunately, I thought it would be heavier than I imagined."

V sighed.

The next second, his right arm suddenly emitted a low hum.

On the dark metallic arm, several hidden pressure relief valves emitted white steam, and the internal sophisticated hydraulic device was instantly pressurized to its limit.

Visibly, his arm joints had swelled up, the metal lines had become rougher and more menacing, and tiny arcs of electricity crackled and flickered at his knuckles.

Electric gorilla arm, activate!!!

Although he used special methods to load multiple prosthetic bodies onto the same part of the body in the game.

But in the real world, all of his prosthetic bodies functioned normally, just like in the game.

"Is your attack over?"

"Then it's my turn."

V takes a step forward.

That seemingly casual step caused the entire pirate ship to sag slightly.

Stab it!

A brilliant arc of electricity suddenly flashed on V's arm, the sharp light illuminating the fear in Alvida's eyes.

"What the hell?!" Alvida's pupils shrank.

But before she could react...

boom--!

V unleashed a powerful punch.

Instead of the dull thud of a fist striking flesh, what came in return was a cracking sound more like a heavy metal hammer smashing rotten wood!

V's massive, swollen, metallic fist, crackling with tiny arcs of electricity, struck Alvida squarely in the center of her unsuspecting abdomen.

"Ugh—Pfft!!"

Her fat and muscular body, at this moment, was like a sea monster that had been shot head-on by a giant harpoon crossbow, suddenly folding backward into an exaggerated "V" shape.

Bang! Crack! Boom—!!!

A series of cracking and impact sounds rang out almost simultaneously!

Alvida transformed into a heavy fleshy projectile, flying backward and crashing back into the ship's cabin.

This time, however, there was no sound of her waking up.

Quiet.

A deathly silence enveloped the deck of Alvida's pirate ship.

All the pirates, including those who were knocked to the ground groaning by Luffy, froze in place, as if petrified by the siren's gaze.

They stared blankly at the human-shaped hole in the cabin wall and the enormous, lifeless body inside.

Even Luffy, who had just dealt with the small fry around him and was excitedly rubbing his fists, stopped what he was doing. His eyes widened under his straw hat, and his mouth was agape enough to fit a fist.

Wow!! That's amazing!!

Luffy's eyes lit up, and he excitedly ran to V's side:

"V, what's wrong with your arm!?"

"It can even generate electricity!? Is this your Devil Fruit ability!?"

"Devil Fruit power?"

V chuckled, flicked her wrist, and her arm returned to its original position.

He raised his hand, his metal knuckles gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

"No, Captain. This is the power of technology."

"Cyber ​​technology...an evolution beyond flesh and blood."

Luffy seemed to understand, but nodded vigorously: "Anyway, it's super—powerful, right!?"

"Heh, I guess so."

V's gaze, however, had already fallen upon Alvida, who lay in a pool of blood.

He crouched down, his metal fingers gently touching her blood-stained skin.

[Ding! A critically injured patient has been detected who has fallen into a coma. Should we contain them?]

A cold, impersonal system notification sounded in my mind.

A faint smile curved at the corner of V's lips.

With a doctor's heart full of compassion, how could he have any reason to refuse at this moment?

【Yes】

Swah——

Alvida's body vanished from the deck in an instant.

"Gone!?"

Koby shrank back in fright.

Luffy's eyes widened: "V! You can do magic tricks!?"

Koby: ?

Is this the key point?

Just then, V's figure, who had chosen to enter the [Control Room], also began to fade away.

He looked at Luffy, and his voice, chuckling softly, came through clearly:

"Captain, the rest of the grunts are yours."

"Be careful not to damage any parts of the ship."

"We'll have to rely on this ship for the rest of the voyage."

"in addition……"

He glanced at Koby one last time, his eyes as deep as the night.

"There's no need to discipline that pink-haired brat."

"He is innocent."

No matter how much people dislike Coby, he is at least a good person in terms of his actions.
