One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

"What exactly do you mean by intensive training? How will it be conducted?"

Ace crossed his arms, his tone still carrying some doubt, but his heart was clearly wavering.

"Let me make this clear first, I don't have that much time to waste here. Blackbeard's whereabouts could be lost at any moment."

"Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time."

Upon hearing this, V's eyes lit up, and he began to look at Ace with a shifty gaze.

"However, let me be clear from the start: my approach may cause some irreversible changes to your body."

"Of course, although there won't be much difference in appearance, it depends on how accepting you are."

"Luffy, show Ace your prosthetic body."

"Oh~"

Luffy smiled and responded, then unfolded his arm and showed Ace the message "Effort will lead to success".

"This is……"

Ace looked at the mechanical device on the inside of Luffy's arm, slightly embedded in his skin and shimmering with a faint blue light, and his expression changed from doubt to surprise.

"You can think of a prosthetic body as a special product that combines technology and Devil Fruit abilities."

"Some prosthetic bodies possess powerful special abilities and targeted enhancement functions."

V explained, "The prosthetic body Luffy is equipped with is called 'Effort Leads to Success,' which allows him to reap ten times the training results during his training."

"The only condition is that it must be used with a large amount of high-concentration nutrient solution, otherwise it will affect the final effect of the prosthetic body."

Luffy grinned and proudly showed off his cybernetic body to Ace:

"Ace, do you want to give it a try!"

"V is really amazing!"

"He can even turn other people's Devil Fruit abilities into prosthetic bodies."

"Turning someone else's Devil Fruit ability... into a prosthetic body?"

Ace was stunned again, and then he saw V demonstrate it to him personally:

Left hand swirling sand, right hand smoking smoke, a wave forward and the sky explodes.

boom!!!

The bombs, composed of sand and smoke particles, resembled dazzling fireworks, engulfing the entire sky.

V introduced with a smile:

"These are the Devil Fruit abilities I possess: Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit, Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit, Paramecia-type Bomb-Bomb Fruit, Paramecia-type Gluttony-Gluttony Fruit..."

With the addition of the Tier 6 Blood Core, V now only has one remaining slot for equipping a badge-type prosthetic body.

In fact, he also possessed a Paramecia-type Devil Badge of the Light-Weight Fruit, whose ability allowed him to freely alter the density of his body.

This ability is decent, but it's too useless for V.

So he didn't devour it, but planned to use it on his companions after unlocking Level 5 brain-computer interface.

Ace stared wide-eyed, frozen in place, his gaze shifting back and forth between V's outstretched hands and the lingering dust and embers in the air.

"Three Devil Fruit abilities?"

He murmured, his voice filled with disbelief, "How is this possible? How can one person possess the power of so many Devil Fruits at the same time?"

Actually, there are four types!

V chuckled softly, then pressed on with the question:

"how?"

"Would you like to join the glorious evolution?"

Ace did not speak.

But judging from his excited expression, he had already made his choice.

……

……

Meanwhile, during the time when V and Luffy defeated Crocodile and encountered Ace.

The other Straw Hat crew members also executed the plan perfectly.

In the western region of Alabasta, in a city called Yoba.

As the most important trading and transportation hub in the entire kingdom, although this city is not as prosperous as Rainlands under Crocodile's management, its scale and prosperity still far exceed those of other cities in Alabasta.

The Baroque Works naturally also has a secret base here.

The entrance to this outpost, located deep beneath the city of Yoba, is well-hidden. On the surface, it appears to be an ordinary warehouse, but in reality, it leads to a vast underground facility.

Inside the central conference room of the base, senior agents who had been urgently summoned sat around a long table on either side.

From Mr.1 to Mr.5, along with his partner Miss Doublefinger, Miss Merry Christmas, and others, everyone was present without exception.

However, the atmosphere in the meeting room was somewhat oppressive at this moment.

Daz Bones, codenamed Mr. 1, sat to the left of the head of the table.

The man, whose entire body had been transformed into blades, stood with his arms crossed over his chest, his face expressionless, but a hint of barely perceptible doubt flickered in his eyes.

In the seat next to him, Miss, with her purple afro, was casually tapping her fingers on the table.

On the other side of the table, Mr. 4 yawned slowly.

His partner, Miss Christmas, impatiently tapped the table with her paw: "What's going on? Why did you suddenly call us all over without even an explanation!"

"Quiet down, mole."

A soft, feminine voice came from behind.

It was Mr. 2, who was sitting next to Mr. 1, who made the sound.

However, when everyone's eyes fell on von Clay, they all showed expressions of doubt.

Without him.

von Clay looked absolutely stunning at that moment!

Her once somewhat rugged facial features have become soft and smooth, her skin is as delicate as porcelain, and her eyes reveal a breathtaking charm.

Her long, black hair cascaded down her chest like a waterfall.

If it weren't for his prominent Adam's apple and his noticeably flat chest...

I bet very few people would believe that he is actually a tough, manly man!

That's right, all of this was V's doing.

As the first among all the captured agents to submit, V granted him a small wish by transforming him into a real transvestite through various prosthetic surgeries!

The character model he chose was naturally the most beautiful transgender person in his mind—Mari Ai.

Since we're going to walk the path of the human-demon hybrid, we should see it through to the end.

However, the changes to Mr.2 did not attract much attention.

After all, he already possesses the ability of the Imitation Fruit, so there's nothing strange about him changing his appearance.

"Huh?! Mr. 2, are you talking to me?!"

"Believe it or not, I'll scratch that fake face of yours to shreds!?"

Miss Christmas suddenly slammed her hand on the table and demanded an answer from von Clay. Her sharp voice sounded particularly jarring in the closed conference room.

Faced with Miss Christmas's threat, Mr. 2 von Clay simply gracefully lifted his chin and chuckled softly in his surgically adjusted, charming voice:

"Oh dear, it's not good to get so angry, Miss Christmas. I was just trying to be helpful."

His tone was laced with obvious boasting and satisfaction, clearly indicating that he was extremely pleased with his current appearance and voice.

However, this flippant attitude completely enraged Miss Christmas, who already had a volatile temper.

"You transvestite...you're asking for it!"

She let out a low growl, and her right hand, covered in sharp claws, suddenly rose, about to pounce on Mr. 2.

Just then—

"Quiet!"

A sophisticated and mature female voice came from the hidden door of the conference room.

Everyone froze instantly, their eyes fixed on the entrance.

From the dark shadows, three figures slowly emerged.

Leading the group was Nicole Robin, her arms crossed over her chest, her expression calm, yet her eyes held an undeniable authority.

To her left was Zoro, who had three swords at his waist. His eyes, sharp as knives beneath his green hair, scanned all the agents present without any attempt to conceal his presence, as if assessing the threat level of each of them.

On the right is Sanji with blond hair, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Although his face still bore his usual nonchalant expression, his slightly narrowed eyes and taut body lines indicated that he was ready to enter battle at any moment.

However, Sanji's expression suddenly turned ugly for a moment after his gaze fell on Mr. 2.

He still can't forget the manly spirit that Mr. 2 inadvertently displayed when he danced on the Going Merry after the successful surgery!

"Miss. All Sunday?!"

Mr. 1's deep, hoarse voice broke the brief silence in the conference room:

"who are they?"

Robin stepped forward and gracefully took his place at the head of the long table.

"Let me introduce myself to you."

Her gaze calmly swept over every face in the conference room, her voice steady and clear, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
