One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

Chopper muttered to himself and threw a punch at the test ingot in front of him.

puff-

There was no loud noise, no sparks.

The spot on the steel ingot where the fist struck quickly turned a dark red, rust-like color, and then softened and dented as if corroded by strong acid.

Chopper's fist sank easily into the steel ingot, and when he pulled it out, his hooves were covered in rust-colored powder.

"The organic acids secreted by fungi, combined with a directed catalytic oxidation reaction, can reduce the strength of steel by 90% instantly." Chopper looked at the analysis results on the data panel, his deer eyes gleaming with excitement. "If used on enemy weapons..."

"It's incredibly sinister."

Usopp, who happened to be nearby and had come to borrow some mushrooms from Chopper, suddenly spoke up.

He looked at the fine downy hairs on Chopper's palm with envy on his face.

Chopper is already a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, which greatly enhances his physical abilities. Now, he also possesses the powerful and well-suited Devil Fruit power of the Mushroom-Mushroom Fruit...

However, Usopp has yet to find a Devil Fruit ability that best suits his needs.

The Track Fruit is only being used temporarily now.

After all, with the ever-upgrading brain-computer interfaces and microsatellite monitoring, the abilities of the Track-Trajectory Fruit could easily be replaced by these things.

Fortunately... besides his own Devil Fruit, he also has other ways to utilize Devil Fruit abilities.

"Chopper, lend me your mushrooms for a few days."

"I just happen to have a wonderful idea that combines plants and ammunition..."

……

……

"A Tree - The Power of Twisting!!!"

Rumble rumble rumble...

Under the azure sky, a colossal rock hand rose from the edge of the barren plain without warning!

It did not rise slowly, but was formed by countless slender, white arms.

Clearly... this is the power of Robin's Flower Flower Fruit.

"fall."

A calm voice, seemingly whispering, came from beyond the heavens.

The giant hand aimed at the dry, hard earth below and slammed down with a deafening roar!

There was no direct, destructive impact; the instant the giant palm made contact with the ground, a magical and powerful force of control surged forth from its palm.

The earth beneath the giant hand, like dough being kneaded by an invisible force, began to twist and deform violently.

Originally hard as iron after thousands of years of wind and rain, the rock strata were instantly disintegrated and reorganized under the force of the torsion. The hard rock was squeezed and ground into a uniform and fine powder.

The hardened earth seemed to come alive, becoming exceptionally soft and fluffy, even tinged with a deep brown hue suitable for nurturing life.

The undulations of the earth were smoothed out by an invisible hand, the ravines were filled, the hills were turned into plains, and a neat and fertile base was shaped in a few breaths.

This is not destruction, but a purposeful, almost miraculous reshaping.

Just then, another clear and vibrant shout rang out from the air not far from the giant hand:

"Rain Clouds - Nourishing Rain!"

The voice belonged to Nami.

She held a modified weather stick inlaid with several blue crystals, and was surrounded by misty water vapor.

The Cloud-Cloud Fruit activated instantly.

As she called out, a small but extremely dense rain cloud rapidly gathered over the reshaped land.

Drizzling rain—

Warm and vibrant raindrops fell, precisely covering the soft earth that had just been transformed by the "twisted giant hand".

"And add a little Chopper's life spores..."

Nami took out a container and sprinkled the powdery substance inside into the air.

With a flick of the weather stick, a gust of wind swept across the land, carrying it to every corner.

The powder dissolves in rainwater, seeps into the soil, and the soft earth quickly absorbs the moisture, becoming darker, shinier, and more fertile.

"All right……"

After doing all this, Nami turned around and said to the stranded people from the sky island behind her:

"The land here has been specially improved. From now on, you can plant IQ plants here."

"Don't worry, this is a plant that has been improved by Chopper. It does not produce toxins and does not need to produce any toxin-producing plants to grow."

"As for your livelihood, the Straw Hat Pirates will take care of that from now on."

"Your good days are coming!"

Chapter 195 Yellow Springs and White Bones

After hearing Nami's words, the villagers looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, they all bowed and shouted, "Thank you, Lady Nami!"

Nami sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "Didn't I already tell you guys not to call me 'sir'?"

The villagers lowered their heads and remained silent.

They were all residents who survived from the Sky Islands of the Golden Lion.

Many people were born in this isolated celestial prison even after the island was seized and taken into the sky by the Golden Lion.

More than two decades of confinement have long since eroded their imagination of "freedom".

So when V and the Straw Hat crew said they could leave and do whatever they wanted, they felt not ecstasy, but rather utter bewilderment.

Ultimately, to take into account the feelings of this group, V decided to provide them with some jobs that he could manage.

And coincidentally... regarding the IQ plant, since a completely stable and controllable cultivation method has not yet been found, a group of meticulous caregivers who are familiar with the characteristics of plants are needed.

These villagers could easily become temporary workers before the plantation becomes fully automated.

Once the plantation automation is complete, they can also be transferred to corresponding management positions to be in charge of more plantations.

……

……

"Everything is moving in a positive direction!"

Seeing his partners busy through the brain-computer interface, V smiled sincerely.

He then looked at Brooke lying on the operating table beside him and asked with a smile:

"Are you ready, Brooke?"

"Of course!" The soul fire within Brook's skull pulsed wildly. "Everyone is constantly getting stronger, even Laboon... I, this old guy, can't fall too far behind!"

"Everything is in your hands, V."

"Don't worry!" V grinned.

After more than half a month of dedicated research, he finally used the "Divine Hand" to develop the prosthetic body that would allow Brook to equip the Demon Badge—the "Yellow Spring Meridian".

Its principle is very simple: it allows a person's "qi" to flow throughout the body.

However, in practice it is very complicated.

This "qi" is actually the energy within each person's body.

Some people are full of vigor and domineering spirit, while others are full of ghostly energy and elemental energy.

Brook, as the user of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit), possesses a kind of "ki" within him that can connect to the underworld.

The essence of the "Yellow Spring Meridians" is a highly sophisticated energy guiding and amplification system.

In order to make it compatible with Brook, V made special modifications to it, so that instead of implanting bones or muscles, it was woven into a net of spirit fibers that resonated directly with Brook's soul fire and was then fixed to the surface of the bones through a micro-rune array.

As a prosthetic surgeon, V can modify this set of spiritual veins to simulate the load-bearing function of a prosthetic heart.

In this way... even Brook, who is just a skeleton, can successfully use the Devil Emblem prosthetic body.

V took out the Devil Badge, which was transformed from the Paramecia-type Bone-Bone Fruit, and slowly embedded it into the central interface of Brook's thoracic vertebrae.

hum-

A deep blue light emanated from deep within Brook's bones, spreading rapidly along the path of the "Yellow Spring Meridian" and quickly covering his entire body.

The soul fire in the skull's eye sockets suddenly surged, transforming from a gentle candlelight into a blazing ghostly flame.

“It feels…so strange.” Brooke raised his hand, looking at the blue light flowing between his fingertips. “It’s like a spring that has been dormant for many years, suddenly starting to flow again.”

Because Brook, who was only a skeleton, couldn't be anesthetized, he was fortunate enough to witness the changes in his own body firsthand.

“Give it a try.” V took two steps back, his prosthetic eye entering high-resolution mode. “Mobilize your Netherworld Qi; it should generate some special power.”

Brooke had a sudden thought.

Crack, crack—

The bones in his right arm began to change.

The ulna and radius extend and intertwine like living things, converging at the fingertips to form a long and sharp bone sword.

The sword was not pale, but rather shimmered with a cold blue luster that seemed to emanate from the underworld, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to drop.

"Yohohoho!" Brook excitedly swung his bone sword, leaving a faint blue afterimage in its wake, as if even light could be frozen. "So this is... the power of the Bone-Bone Fruit!"

"Looks pretty good~" V pulled up the simulation data in the brain-computer interface, "In this way, your Yomi Yomi no Mi (Yellow Spring Fruit) will finally have a use!"

"Yohohoho!" Brooke let out his signature laugh, his voice brimming with unprecedented energy and gratitude. "Mr. V, thank you so much!"

"I feel like my old bones can finally keep up with everyone again, and even do more for my partners!"

V smiled and replied, "Good luck, Brook!"

"Make good use of your experience and catch up on what you've missed during this time!"
