One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

"We left something behind when we left, and we're just back to get it."

"Director Magellan, you're not going to stop us from getting through here, are you?!"

"Humph--"

"Stop pretending, kid!"

Stop with your terrible acting!

Magellan snorted coldly, and purple poisonous mist began to swirl and rise around him, enveloping his massive body in a deadly aura.

"This is Impel Down, the deep-sea prison directly under the World Government!"

"Even if you defeat the Knights of God in Marineford, it doesn't mean you can act recklessly on my territory!"

The moment he finished speaking, the poisonous mist surrounding Magellan suddenly surged!

The purple mist surged and spread like a living thing, carrying a terrifying toxicity capable of corroding all life, and rolled towards the direction where the Straw Hat crew was!

however--

Faced with the overwhelming poisonous fog, V didn't even move a finger.

He merely raised an eyebrow slightly, a meaningful smile playing at the corners of his lips.

"It seems you already know what happened in Marineford!"

"After knowing this, will they still choose to wage war against us?"

"As expected of the World Government's loyal dog!"

"If that's the case..."

His voice carried a hint of playful mockery, as if he were looking at an ant trying to stop a chariot with its bare hands.

The next moment—

A figure appeared in front of V like a ghost.

It's Chopper.

His body had entered Nika form, white steam swirling and rising around him, and his round eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Leave the detoxification to me!"

Chopper grinned and raised his right hand—

Paramecia-type Meatball Fruit power activated!

He opened his mouth and took a deep breath—

The overwhelming purple poisonous mist, as if drawn by an invisible force, transformed into a purple torrent, which Chopper swallowed whole!

And that's not all!

The purple poisonous mist that Chopper swallowed did not dissipate.

Under the Gluttony Fruit's almost supernatural transformation ability, they were like ore thrown into a furnace, undergoing a strange and terrifying metamorphosis within Chopper's body—

Gollum-

Chopper's body surface shimmered with an eerie purplish-green glow, and a faint green light spot was mixed in with the white steam around him, drifting in the air like fireflies.

Immediately afterwards—

puff!

Countless tiny spores burst forth from his hair, like disturbed dandelions, scattering, swirling, and expanding in the air!

The spores had an eerie purplish-green color, with fine, mycelium-like patterns flowing across their surface. Each one was only the size of a grain of rice, but the aura they contained instantly twisted Magellan's ferocious face.

"what?!"

Magellan's pupils contracted sharply; he could clearly feel it—

The toxicity contained in those spores was even more bizarre and dangerous than his venom!

It's like...having a life of its own!

"Come and taste my poison!"

Chopper grinned, his round eyes gleaming with mischief.

He raised his right hand, fingers spread, and the spores suspended in the air, as if receiving a command, began to spin and condense at high speed—

"Mushroom bomb!"

The moment the words fell, an overwhelming swarm of purple-green spores, like a swarm of bees pouring out of its nest, transformed into a torrent and shot towards Magellan's location!

Magellan's expression instantly turned extremely serious.

He tried to hide—but there were just too many spores!

They were like sentient beings, drawing strange arcs in the air, blocking all his possible escape routes.

More importantly, the flight trajectories of those spores were extremely tricky. Some rushed straight ahead, some circled around, and some even spun like bullets and burrowed into the gaps in the poisonous mist around him!

"Venom-Venom Fruit - Giant Poison Soldier!"

Magellan roared, and the poisonous mist around him suddenly condensed, transforming into a giant purple poisonous figure, spreading its arms in an attempt to stop the overwhelming torrent of spores.

However, the moment the spores came into contact with the giant poison soldiers, a bizarre scene unfolded...

Chapter 243 Exceeding Standards

What are poisons?

In reality, it's nothing more than a substance that is harmful to living organisms and can cause disease or death.

Magellan's Venom-Venom Fruit ability is indeed powerful, earning him the title of "the strongest guardian of Impel Down," and even being hailed by the World Government as "an insurmountable wall of death."

But no matter how powerful—

The venom he released was nothing more than a substance.

If it's a poison, then there's a possibility that it can be cracked.

Since it is matter, it has the potential to be transformed!

Chopper stood in the middle of the scorching corridor of hell, white steam rising and swirling around him, his round eyes gleaming with an unprecedented determination and wisdom.

A smile appeared on his lips—the smile of a doctor.

As the Straw Hat Pirates' doctor, he learned many medical techniques and ideas from V that were different from those in the pirate world.

In order to become stronger faster, he also had to make some changes that were not part of the medical profession.

That is—to develop all sorts of poisonous fungi!

Poison and medicine are two sides of the same coin.

An excessive amount of medicine is poison, while a moderate amount of poison is medicine.

And he-

As a user of both the Logia-type Fungus Fruit and the Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit, Chopper has mastered the art of fusing these two abilities through countless experiments.

Just now—

The moment Magellan's overwhelming purple poisonous mist surged toward him, Chopper's body underwent a transformation that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

The power of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit activated immediately, swallowing the toxic substance that contained enough to corrode steel into its body.

Immediately afterwards, the power of the Fungus Fruit began to operate like a sophisticated instrument—

Chopper breaks it down, analyzes it, and reassembles it within his body.

Just like the instinctive reaction of a top virologist when faced with an unknown pathogen—

Understand it first, then crack it.

Magellan's poison was indeed potent.

As a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the Venom-Venom Fruit ability, Magellan can secrete deadly poison from any part of his body, causing death in a very short time whether through contact or inhalation.

Moreover, he also possesses a series of deadly moves such as Poison Giant Soldier, Poison Dragon, and Poison Pufferfish, each of which is enough to deter any intruder.

But in front of Chopper—

Those poisons are ultimately just "substances".

At this moment, the fungal bombs attached to Magellan's body are actually Chopper's "solution" to Magellan's venom.

These are not ordinary fungi, but rather creations of Chopper, modeled after Magellan's venom, through the transformation of the Gluttony Fruit and the careful cultivation of the Fungus Fruit—

"Immune bacteria".

These fungi have extremely unique characteristics:

They feed on Magellan's venom.

The more concentrated the venom, the more vigorously they grow.

They do not directly harm Magellan's body, but they cling to his venom like maggots, gradually consuming, breaking down, and transforming his toxicity.

Just like antibiotics destroy the cell walls of bacteria—

These fungi are visibly eroding Magellan's prized poisonous power.

"What...what the hell is this?!"

Magellan's voice was filled with disbelief and horror.

He could clearly feel—

The venom it released was being devoured by those purple-green fungi.

They were like some kind of natural enemy specifically targeting him, multiplying and spreading wildly in his venom with an almost domineering attitude.

He tried to use the venom to force the fungi out of his body—

But those fungi were like parasitic vines rooted inside his body, and no matter how much he tried to expel them, he couldn't get rid of them.

On the contrary, each time he activated the venom, the fungi absorbed more nutrients and grew stronger.

"It's no use~"
