Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 446: Steel Labmon (asking for monthly votes~)

It turns out that it is impossible to complete a postgraduate project with just simple high school knowledge.

When Franky asked Vegapunk about the technology and drawings related to cyborgs, Vegapunk, without any hesitation, directly transferred all the knowledge in the form of data to Franky's intelligent brain.

however……

Even though he already had a powerful processing system and excellent knowledge reserves, Franky was still a little confused when he saw the blueprints created by Vegapunk and a group of top scientists.

There is no way. After all, he is not a real robot and cannot directly convert data into knowledge and store it in his brain.

In order to achieve the effect he was looking for as quickly as possible, Franky, who had just gained a new ability, immediately asked Vegapunk for a bunch of books and data on related technologies without even familiarizing himself with his own abilities. He stayed in the room all day to enrich himself.

And the other side.

After settling the Straw Hat Pirates' recent affairs, Red and Vegapunk and others entered the entrance that originally belonged to the Thriller Bark.

Today, this place has been expanded into a huge dock by the construction team under the Straw Hat, connecting to the sea outside the island.

However, what was docked in the dock at this time was not a ship, but a huge island whale with a body as blue as the deep sea - Rab!!!

"Chihong, you are finally here!"

Seeing the appearance of Chihong and others, the fire in Brook's eyes, who had been accompanying Lab, suddenly jumped.

The nervous Lab on the side suddenly let out a loud cry.

“Chiu~!!!”

"Haha, sorry to have kept you waiting, Brook." Chihong waved and greeted.

"Dr. Vegapunk and the others are almost ready."

"Are you ready to evolve, Rab!?"

"Chirp~"

Rab gave another excited chirp.

It has been waiting for this day for a long time and can’t wait any longer!!!

The Straw Hat Pirates are becoming more and more powerful, and their members are becoming stronger and stronger. Looking at their bodies that can neither practice nor become stronger quickly, they don't know how anxious they are in their hearts.

Even Usopp, who was originally required to farm and cultivate Zerg in his body, has not come into his body for a long time because of the new experimental base.

In addition, the Straw Hat Pirates had several missions to go out to sea, and it really wanted to join.

However, its speed of swimming in the sea is far inferior to the flying speed of the Merry. If it goes, it will become a burden and waste the Straw Hat Pirates' time.

During this period, Rab didn't know how sad he was.

Fortunately, this will all pass.

Lab has learned from Brook how powerful the transformed Franky has become.

So it is now looking forward to what happens next.

"It seems you are ready."

Chihong, who was able to know Lab's inner thoughts through telepathy, smiled lightly, and without hesitation, he gave the stage to Vegapunk behind him.

"Doctor, the rest is up to you!"

"no problem."

Vegapunk nodded calmly.

For him, who had already made many sea beast weapons, transforming an island whale was a piece of cake.

As he spoke, the lights in the entire dock suddenly brightened.

A huge tray slowly rose from under the sea, supporting Lab's huge and heavy body and slowly lifting it into the air.

"Ow?"

The sudden change made Lab cry out in confusion.

Brooke on the side quickly comforted him:

"Relax Lab, this is your personal operating table, get some sleep first."

"When this is all over, you'll be able to become even more powerful like Franky!"

"Ow~"

When Lab heard this, a bright light flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, it began to lie motionless, waiting for the platform below to completely drag it out of the sea. Dozens of rubber belts suddenly extended from both sides of the platform, firmly fixing Lab's body on the platform.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of butterfly-shaped insects flew out from the various cabins of the dock and scattered a large amount of sleeping powder on the front half of Lab's body.

The dust move that even the Five Elders could control instantly made Lab lose consciousness and fall asleep.

Upon seeing this, Vegapunk began to control his personal terminal and began to issue a bunch of instructions.

"Okay, now we can start the transformation."

Vegapunk spoke, but he did not take a step forward.

Unlike Franky's meticulous renovation work, Rab's renovation plan is more like a delicate civil engineering project.

The next second, countless flying robots carrying various building materials like steel bars and cement came to Lab's side.

The sharp laser cutting device easily cut open the hard outer skin of the cloth, and a large number of robots rushed forward and used ice to seal the blood.

You might not feel anything when you're on the operating table.

But watching a large number of robots cutting and dismantling Lab's body...

At this moment, not to mention Brook, even Red was secretly shocked and couldn't help but ask Vegapunk who was staring at the construction site:

"Doctor... this transformation won't cause any damage to Rab's body, right?"

It’s not that Chihong doesn’t believe Dr. Vegapunk, but the scene of flesh being torn apart and bones being dug out before him makes it hard for him to remain calm.

As smart as Vegapunk was, he seemed to have guessed that Red and the others would not be able to accept this scene, so he simply operated with one hand and projected the image on his personal terminal into the air.

"Don't worry, I'm monitoring Lab's vital signs in real time. At the moment, his vital signs are stable and there are no abnormalities."

"Gaj and I have already developed a transformation plan for Rab and designed a perfect program, which we have input into the robot."

"Next, we just need to wait for the robot to complete the transformation work according to the established steps."

"Huh~ I see." Chihong breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he was worrying for nothing.

He immediately closed his mouth and silently waited for the results of Lab's transformation.

And this wait lasted for seven days.

There is no way, Lab's transformation process involves a lot of organ replacement.

Like Franky, Vegapunk and his team used Lab's bloodline factors combined with some soft bloodline factors to develop a new organ, making Lab stronger than ever before from the inside out.

After all, it takes a certain amount of time to adapt these organs, and it also takes a lot of time to equip Lab with a fruit ability conversion device.

Fortunately, with sufficient resources, everything was successfully completed and settled after seven days.

At this time, Lab's physical appearance had completely changed.

The originally dark blue surface of the body, due to the integration of special metallic properties, not only became as hard as metal and emitted a shiny metallic luster, but it also became even darker and deeper as if it was wrapped in the domineering aura of armed color.

If you look closely, you can clearly see the hidden cut marks on Lab's body.

And each cutting layer here represents a complete set of laser weapon system!

All of the laser energy comes from the hands of the former Navy Admiral Kizaru.

Even if the enemy uses the advantage of his small body to fall on Lab's back, the intelligent brain in Lab's brain will instantly sense it and then use the weapons hidden in his body to cause damage to the enemy.

In addition to this, there were earth-shaking changes inside Lab's body!

The island that was originally used to provide resources and land for the Straw Hat Pirates no longer exists.

The abdominal cavity, which is like a small world, is now occupied by various metal parts, looking like a steel forest.

And in the very center of Lab's body, there is a huge fusion furnace, which is the same mother fire fusion furnace as Franky's.

However, the fusion furnace was pitch black at this moment, and it was obvious that Vegapunk had not yet added the mother fire to it.

This is also what Vegapunk did intentionally.

Franky's evolution was so sudden that he was not prepared at all.

This time, he plans to replicate the previous operation, intending to use the act of loading the mother fire to promote the evolution of Lab, so as to explore the mystery of the evolution of Pokémon in the world of pirates.

Chihong also expressed strong support for this.

Since the doctoral scientists in the Pokémon world can research all kinds of magical and powerful results, there is no reason why Vegapunk, who possesses the Brain-Brain Fruit, cannot catch up with them.

Red believes that as long as Vegapunk is given enough samples and time, he will be able to explore the mysteries of Pokémon sooner or later.

The above are just the changes that Chihong and the others can see through the transformation drawings.

In fact, he simply couldn't understand 60 percent of what was on the blueprint.

I just think that these guys doing scientific research are really awesome, and I’m also full of hope for the future of the pirate world.

However, Lab's transformation plan has exhausted all the resources accumulated by the Straw Hat Pirates over the past few months.

Next, they have to come up with some more profitable ideas.

After all, future space travel plans, seawater discharge plans, and plans for an army of capable people... will all require a lot of manpower, material resources, and money.

Without adequate resources, it is difficult to make these plans go smoothly.

"I never thought that the Straw Hat Pirates would have a day where they would have to worry about money."

Looking at the large number of flying robots starting to remove various temporary equipment from Lab's body, Chihong couldn't help but think about ways to make money.

In fact, with the resources and technology in their hands, it is very easy for them to make some quick money.

Whether it's loading Pokémon templates for people, or artificial devil fruits, or transformation plans, or bloodline factor customized babies...

If the news of these projects were to get out, it would definitely attract a large number of wealthy and powerful people who would bring boatloads of Baileys to the Pokémon Sea.

only……

"Now that the war is imminent, it doesn't seem wise to waste too much time and resources to improve others' combat power."

Chihong thought quickly in his mind.

"If you want to develop in the long run, you really have to think about some serious business."

Although the Straw Hat Pirates' influence now spread all over the world and their business empire is thriving, it is precisely because of this that a lot of their money is tied up in various industries and cannot be converted into cash for direct use by the Straw Hat Pirates.

From a normal perspective, this is undoubtedly the correct development path for a business empire.

But for Chihong, this speed of making money is too slow.

So they have to develop new industries.

Today, the Straw Hat Pirates' logistics, shipping, news media, and manufacturing are all world-class.

His fame spread all over the world with the title of Emperor of the Sea.

Except for some staunch supporters of the World Government, no one will refuse their industries from entering their territory.

In other words...the Straw Hat Pirates have already dominated the world to some extent.

and so……

"It seems like it's time to develop and launch that plan."

There was a flicker of light in his red eyes as he looked at Vegapunk who was controlling the robots to evacuate.

Come to think of it, the first time he lured Vegapunk to Cake Island was for this very purpose.

That is to use the ability of Uta's Song-Song Fruit to develop a world that is truly based on the spirit.

Then... create a brand new Pokémon game in the world of Pirates!!!

That’s right, Chihong’s money-making plan is to create a virtual reality game, and then use the game to earn Baileys!

He knows how profitable games are!!!

It is quite normal to charge a few, dozens, or even hundreds of 6 for a 648V Pokémon that can be touched, right?

However, after Vegapunk came to the Pokémon Sea, he was busy with other things, so this original virtual world plan was delayed.

Now that Franky and Lab have been transformed, it is time for them to restart the plan.

"Chirp~"

Just as thousands of thoughts flashed through Chihong's mind, a slight and low chirp suddenly sounded, instantly interrupting his thoughts.

He immediately looked up and saw a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly appear in front of him, and then flashed past and disappeared like a swift arrow.

Apparently without the continued effect of the sleeping powder, Lab's consciousness began to slowly wake up.

Still controlled by the rubber belt, it first looked around in confusion, then suddenly let out a confused cry.

"Chirp?!"

When it regained consciousness, it immediately noticed something unusual.

Suddenly, a bunch of strange icons appeared in the originally wide field of vision, and as its consciousness turned, the icons even moved back and forth.

And in his mind, there was even an extra subconscious part, as if he could launch an attack in the direction where his consciousness was concentrated at any time.

This sudden awareness, which was as easy as using one's own arm, made it very confused.

"Lab, are you awake!?"

At this moment, a familiar voice appeared, allowing Lab to temporarily put aside his exploration of the new world.

He turned around and saw Chihong and Brooke with delighted faces.

"Chirp!"

Laboo chirped excitedly again.

Although I am a little confused about the changes in the world I see, looking at the smiles on their faces at this moment...

It knew that its transformation plan should have been successful!

In this way, it can also become the fighting force of the Straw Hat Pirates and help its companions in battle.

Instead of hiding aside in every battle, fearing that you will be hurt by the enemy.

Those days are gone forever!!!

Raab is convinced of this.
