As soon as he finished speaking, V disappeared completely.

Inside the control room.

The lights were stark white, and the robotic arm turned silently.

The air was filled with the cold smell of disinfectant and metal.

Alita lay on the operating table, her body covered in gruesome surgical wounds, her breath as faint as a candle flickering in the wind.

V stood at the edge of the stage, dressed in black, almost blending into the darkness, with only his prosthetic eyes gleaming with a ghostly blue light.

"System, scan."

[Scanning in progress...]

[Patient: Alvida (human)]

[Energy Level: Tier 2]

[Injuries: Abdominal trauma causing internal organ displacement and internal bleeding; nerve paralysis, muscle spasms, and temporary loss of consciousness due to high-voltage electric shock; multiple soft tissue contusions and joint sprains (caused by the severe impact).]

"The injury analysis is very detailed. As expected of the system!"

V's eyes flashed, and he gave a compliment.

Immediately afterward, with a thought, the surgical instruments flew into his palm automatically.

Inside the control room, this is V's domain!

With just a thought, various robotic arms can automatically load the desired medicine and perform the operations he arranges.

The next moment, V brought down the scalpel.

His movements were calm, precise, and without any unnecessary actions.

It was as if what was in front of me was not a person, but a machine that needed repair.

A few minutes later, Alvida's breathing calmed down.

[Surgery completed]

[Experience points +100]

Current experience points: 100/1000

"100 experience points for a minor surgery? That's higher than I expected."

V murmured to himself, his gaze falling on Alvida's arms.

Thick and powerful, covered with scars and hair.

Don't misunderstand.

He certainly doesn't have any special fetishes.

It's just that the system's functions haven't been fully explored yet.

"So, what's next..."

"It's time to try out the 'black market' feature."

V picked up the scalpel.

The blade reflected half of his indifferent face in the lamplight.

Just then, Alvida, who had recovered, suddenly opened her eyes.

However, through his blurred vision, he saw a pair of blue prosthetic eyes, and... a cold scalpel in his hand.

"What...what are you going to do!?"

Her eyes widened instantly, and she instinctively struggled, only to find herself tightly bound by restraints and unable to move.

V looked down at her, his voice calm and even:

"He who kills will be killed by others."

When you plunder others, have you ever thought that you too might be plundered?

"W-what...no...don't..."

Alvida's pupils dilated with fear.

Available in the next second.

呲——

The robotic arm sprays out anesthetic gas.

All these basic consumables are within the scope of the prosthetic doctor's usage rights and are supplied infinitely by the system, so there is absolutely no need to worry about waste.

Alvida's consciousness rapidly faded.

The last thing we saw was V holding a scalpel.

"demon……"

She uttered her last two words and then disappeared into darkness.

V remained expressionless as the blade fell.

Cut, peel, remove.

Everything seemed to have been rehearsed thousands of times, proceeding with practiced ease.

In the blink of an eye, a pair of complete arms were held in mechanical hands.

The robotic arm sprayed coolant again, freezing Alvida's wound.

The surgery went exceptionally smoothly.

With a thought from V, the [Black Market] interface unfolded before his eyes.

The "Materials Conversion" option is flashing slightly.

This means he currently possesses materials that can be converted into usable content.

V is selected.

[Materials detected: Human arms (Quality: Tier 2)]

[Transforming...]

The arm breaks down into countless light particles, which then recombine deep within the system.

A few seconds later.

[Conversion complete!]

[Acquired: Iron Fist - Basic Strength Enhancement Prosthetic Body (Tier 2)]

[Effect: Slightly improves arm strength and grip strength]

This prosthetic body has been unlocked for purchase in the store. Price: 300 Trade Points

V looked at the prosthetic blueprint that appeared on the interface and slowly revealed a smile.

"New world, here I come!"

Chapter 5 Green Algae Head, Here We Come!

"V! Where did you go just now?"

On the deck of Alvida's pirate ship.

Seeing V's figure appear out of thin air, Luffy, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately jumped over and asked curiously.

"It's a really interesting place. I'll take you there sometime!"

"Really?" Luffy's eyes lit up, completely unaware of V's slightly malicious smile.

"of course."

V nodded, then looked around.

About half an hour had passed since he and Alvida disappeared.

By this time, the small fry of the Alvida Pirates had already been beaten to the ground by Luffy, and they lay trembling on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Unfortunately, there is only one ward in the control room at present, and Alvida's cost-effectiveness is obviously far superior to these pirates.

Otherwise, V really wanted to send all these patients into the operating room so they could shine in their final moments.

"What a waste," V sighed softly.

However, at that moment, Koby suddenly ran up from the back of the ship:

"N-no, this is bad, Mr. Luffy."

"Naval warships are coming!"

"What!?"

Luffy was taken aback and quickly said to V:

"Oh no, V, we have to run!"

"Wait, buddy? What's the panic?"

V stared speechlessly at Luffy's instantly changed expression.

Why are you running?

You're just a greenhorn, do you think the Navy even knows who you are?

After finally rescuing a ship full of wealthy merchants and nobles, instead of taking the opportunity to demand protection money, they just left like that?

That being said, V ultimately did not disrupt Luffy's escape plan.

Because he could imagine what would happen if they stayed here and were questioned by the navy...

Luffy will definitely say without hesitation, "I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

At that time, another conflict will be inevitable.

"Stop playing dead!"
