One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

"Doesn't that mean that as long as I have enough heart positions and trading points... I can grow into a world-class, domineering powerhouse in no time!?"

Unlike normal cybernetic cyborgs, V's innate biological potential grants him unlimited cybernetic abilities, regardless of the limits of his brain and body.

Right now, the only thing preventing him from reaching the top of the world is the trading point!

"The future is full of possibilities!"

V smiled excitedly, then without further hesitation, lay down in the massage chair and shouted into the void:

"Robotic arm, modify it!"

……

……

The azure sea stretched out like silk as the Merry slowly departed from the shore of Little Garden, leaving two shallow white streaks in its wake.

With the Eternal Log Pose provided by Mr. 3 and his crew, the Straw Hat Pirates don't need to wait in the small garden for the Log Pose to fill with magnetism.

Sunlight pierced through the thin clouds, casting a soft golden rim on the ship's hull.

On the deck, Luffy gripped the ship's railing and looked excitedly out to sea.

Ten consecutive days of cultivation had already made him tired of spending time on land.

Looking back now, the vast ocean, full of unknowns, is still more fascinating!

Meanwhile, next to the Merry, Labour's figure would occasionally surface, as if playing a game of hide-and-seek with the Merry.

Although everyone did not neglect Rab during these ten days, they still made time to spend with him.

However, the island whales do not speak the same language.

Luffy and his crew can only try to understand Laboon's intentions by guessing.

At first, nothing happened.

However, as time went on, everyone felt that it was simply unacceptable that their partners couldn't understand each other's words.

So V pointed out three clear paths for everyone:

1. Fit Laboon with a brain-computer interface and a prosthetic voice to teach it to speak human language;

pity.

With only a level 4 V, it can currently only pull creatures up to 20M in size into the control room.

Transforming Labs will be a long and arduous task.

2. Attach animal translation prosthetics to Luffy and his crew so they can understand Laboon's voice;

However... although the "God's Hand" did indeed provide the conditions for creating this prosthetic body, one of the conditions was: "Transform the vocal cords of an island whale".

Ibid.

This option was naturally rejected.

At this point, only one last option remains:

Find someone who can understand Lab's language to be your partner.

Coincidentally, V had just the right person in mind!

"Are there really beings in this world that can understand both animal and human languages?"

Nami asked curiously while referring to the Poseidon and the nautical chart.

Even though she had met many people with special abilities and had become acquainted with giants, she still found it difficult to understand this matter.

It's one thing if you can understand the sounds of cats and dogs.

How could anyone possibly understand the sounds of a whale?

Could it be that the guy V was talking about is a fish-man?

V leaned against the ship's railing, pale smoke swirling around him like a docile pet holding a glass of lemonade.

He smiled without saying a word:

"You'll find out when the time comes."

"Trust me, you will all love that little guy."

V's voice drifted on the sea breeze, accompanied by a mysterious smile, which only fueled everyone's curiosity.

Vivi glanced sideways at the nautical chart in Nami's hand:

"Is the person you're talking about on Drum Island?"

"If I remember correctly, that place should be a major medical power."

"Unfortunately, at some point, the medical practices there suddenly declined."

"I haven't heard any news of famous doctors emerging from Drum Island for a long time."

"A doctor? Is he like V?"

Luffy suddenly leaned his head over and asked the question backwards.

"...A guy like V?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd inexplicably recalled the scene of V modifying them in the control room.

In an instant, everyone in the Straw Hat crew except V and Luffy shivered.

Usopp's pupils contracted: "If two Vs appeared on the ship at the same time... that would be terrifying!"

"I think you all need to be taught a lesson!"

Hearing that everyone dared to make fun of him, V immediately grinned with amusement:

“Perfect timing, Usopp… I’ve acquired another batch of interesting prosthetics; I’ll use you for experiments in a bit!”

"No, no!!!"

Usopp retreated in alarm, then quickly assumed a running away posture.

However, at that moment, a giant hand formed from smoke suddenly grabbed him and pulled him backward.

"You regret it too late!"

"Come inside with me, be a good girl!"

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

Suddenly, a series of bloodcurdling screams and bursts of laughter erupted from the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.

A joyful atmosphere seemed to emanate from the Merry, and even the waves that propelled the Merry forward seemed to become cheerful.

……

……

at the same time.

Cigu Island, in a certain village.

"hateful!"

A cute-looking reindeer, resembling a raccoon dog, covered its eyes with its hooves, its body wrapped in bandages.

Even so, tears still streamed uncontrollably from between her hair.

"I'm too weak... Doctor Doriel..."

"I can't protect anything..."

Chapter 68 Let Go of That Girl (Please Read On!)

"Wow, are we in Antarctica?!"

A gust of biting wind swept in, and Usopp, who had just opened the cabin door, shivered violently and quickly huddled back inside.

"It's...it's snowing!?"

On the deck, fine snowflakes drifted down like feathers, accumulating a thin layer of silvery white on the hull and sails of the Merry.

In the distance, the outline of the snow-covered island was faintly visible in the gray sky, like a lonely fortress standing in the cold sea.

"Looks like we're almost there!"

V stepped out of the cabin.

Although his steel body makes him completely immune to the cold and heat, in order to maintain consistency with his companions' style, he still changed into a white fur coat, which looked like a white lab coat from a distance, and was more in line with his image as a prosthetic doctor.

Luffy and the others, who heard the noise, came out one after another.

"Is that Drum Island!?"

"It's all covered in snow! It's so amazing!"

"It's hard to grow crops on an island like that, right? Does that mean they have to rely on imports for food?"

Amidst the Straw Hat crew's lively conversation, the Going Merry drew ever closer to the shore.

Luffy grinned broadly: "Let's go! To Drum Island to find new crewmates!!"

The new island stirred his adventurous spirit.

Just then, the sea next to the Merry suddenly bulged, and Laboon's massive head emerged from the water, letting out a long and deep cry.

"Ugh——"

The sound echoed across the cold sea, as if carrying a sense of anticipation.

V walked to the side of the ship, gently patted Labu's damp skin, and looked into the depths of the snow island through the prosthetic eye behind the lens.

"Don't rush, Labu."

"We will soon find someone who can understand your voice."

The Merry slowly approached the shore of Drum Island, its hull scraping against the floating ice, making a soft cracking sound.

The island was silent, save for the howling wind and snow.

As is customary, the Merry was placed under the care of Pakistani officers.
