Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 444 Ability Storage Room (asking for monthly votes)

Mistakes, of course, are impossible!

This sacred light did not come from Franky's body.

After Franky's body contained the Mother Fire and entered the perfect form, his potential was greatly enhanced, successfully triggering the evolution mechanism of the Pokémon template! ! !

In short, Franky...

evolved! ! !

Looking at the unexpected situation that suddenly appeared in front of him, Vegapunk blinked blankly, not knowing why.

It was not the first time that Chihong saw this scene, and he immediately opened Franky's attribute panel.

In an instant, as the light of evolution on Franky faded, a brand new attribute panel appeared in front of Chihong.

[Pokémon: Franky]

[Level: 66]

[Gender: Convex]

[Personality: Lofty (+Defense-Special Defense)]

[Attributes: Steel, Evil, Fighting]

[Features: Metal Protection (Until the outer metal shell is destroyed, it will not be affected by any negative effects.)]

[Skills: Iron Hoof Beam, Lightweight Body, Evil Wave, Explosive Punch]

[Experience Value: 11451/13267]

[Total Attributes: 1260]

"After evolution, the total attribute directly increased by more than 150 points!?"

"Although the increase is not much, Franky's talent should be enough to rival veteran admirals such as Aokiji and Kizaru to have such attributes at level 66."

Talent, on the one hand, affects the highest combat power that an individual can achieve, and on the other hand, affects the time and resources required for its growth.

Although talents like Franky, Robin, and Nami are considered geniuses in the pirate world, they are not even close to the world's top level in terms of basic combat power.

Without considering other means of amplification, it is estimated that they will have to wait until they reach level 90 or even higher to barely reach the level of admirals.

In comparison, even if we put aside the world's protagonists Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, professional players, just Jin and Katakuri, who have good strength, can almost reach the combat power standard of the admiral level at level 80.

Of course, it is obviously not standard to judge a person's strength by a simple attribute value.

A person's combat power is affected by many factors.

Fruit ability, combat skills, combat experience, kendo comprehension, weapons and props, and...

Pokémon characteristics!

That's right!

Red certainly noticed the new characteristics acquired by Franky after his evolution.

Franky's original characteristic was the will of steel, which could enhance the power of all members' steel-attribute moves.

It is considered an above-average characteristic.

The increase in combat power is not low, but there is not much operability.

After the evolution, Franky's characteristics changed to the current metal protection.

Just listening to the name, it is obvious that the previous characteristics are more imposing.

However, the effect of metal protection greatly enhances Franky's survivability!

"As long as the outer shell metal is not broken, it will not be affected by any negative effects!?"

"Doesn't this directly add a layer of magic immunity to Franky?"

In this way, if you want to defeat Franky, you can only use a tough guy way to forcibly defeat his steel body.

And he no longer has to fear the appearance of fruit ability users who are unfriendly to cyborgs, such as the Rust Rust Fruit.

"Physical defense has a metal body, and magic defense has Pokémon characteristics... Franky is really taking an alternative invincible path!"

"More importantly..."

Looking at Vegapunk, who began to ask Franky questions after the light of evolution disappeared, the corners of his red mouth suddenly rose.

He did not immediately disturb Vegapunk's desire to explore.

After all, the evolution of Pokémon is something that can only be achieved by chance.

If Vegapunk can really research something about Franky's evolution, so that Luffy and the others can also evolve and their talents can grow twice, that would be great.

Unfortunately...

Even with Vegapunk's knowledge reserve that is 500 years ahead of the world, he is helpless when facing the natural laws of another world.

After asking for a long time, he still didn't get anything useful.

However, Red, who had been listening for a long time, understood Franky's changes after evolution very clearly.

The first is Franky's appearance.

Generally speaking, Pokémon's appearance will change greatly after evolution.

But the changes before and after Franky's evolution are not reflected in his appearance.

He looks the same as he did when he came out of the operating room.

But according to Franky's description, his current state is better than ever!

Because the parts designed and installed by Vegapunk and others in his body have now all been integrated with his body.

If Franky was flesh and blood before, and metal was metal...

Now, metal is his flesh and blood, and flesh and blood can also acquire properties similar to metal.

The fusion furnace in his body that carries the mother fire has completely merged with his heart.

The system device in the brain also exists in a strange form.

Originally, he needed to be familiar with the combat system before he could use it, but now he can use it like an arm and a finger, retracting and releasing it freely!

It was as if he knew how to use these things innately, and it had become his instinct.

"Okay~!"

Seeing that everyone is still asking Franky some strange questions, such as whether the excretory system is the original body or a machine, for example, with the Mother Fire providing unlimited energy, does it mean that there is no need to eat anything anymore...

Red took a step forward, interrupting the curiosity of the Straw Hats and Vegapunk.

He smiled and reminded everyone:

"If you have any questions, why don't you ask them after Franky enters his final form?"

"Don't forget... our original purpose was not to allow Franky to complete his evolution."

"Final form!?"

The Straw Hats were stunned when they heard this.

Immediately, Vegapunk suddenly clenched his fist and punched his palm.

"Yes!"

His eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly asked Franky:

"Franky, how is your fruit ability loading system?"

"Has it been affected by evolution!?"

"Fruit ability loading system?"

Frankie muttered in confusion at first.

The next second, his right arm suddenly opened, revealing a device connected to a strange tube.

The inside of the device is currently blank, making it difficult to tell what it does.

If it weren't for evolutionary reasons, Franky might not even have discovered this difference in his body.

Seeing this scene, Vegapunk immediately stepped on the flying robot to Franky's right side and inspected the layout inside in detail.

After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Okay, okay..."

"Although the blood flow path has changed due to the combination of the heart and the fusion furnace, it seems that everything is fine."

Franky nodded calmly after hearing this, grinned and said:

"Don't worry! There's no problem!"

"I know my own body!"

"Now in my mind, there is also a user interface for the fruit ability carrying system!"

"It seems that after evolution, although Franky's body has undergone some internal changes, it has not affected the use of the modified functions."

At this time, Chihong also came over.

He first looked at the so-called fruit ability carrying device, and then asked Vegapunk curiously:

"So, Dr. Vegapunk, how did you overcome the difficulty of giving the Cyborg the ability to have multiple fruits?"

"The principle is actually very simple."

Perhaps he had already guessed that Chihong would ask, and Vegapunk replied calmly:

"The so-called one individual cannot possess multiple fruit abilities at the same time is because the bloodline factors transformed by Devil Fruits are very unstable."

"This instability creates the emergence of fruit abilities."

"But at the same time, if an inherently unstable bloodline factor is interfered by a layer of unstable factors, then the bloodline factor will inevitably become very uncontrollable until it jumps too fast..."

"So unless you have some special physique, such as that black-bearded zombie... who has three hearts and three sets of blood circulation systems, it is impossible for normal people to have multiple fruit abilities."

In order to complete the project of multiple fruit abilities, Vegapunk and the others dissected Blackbeard's body.

And they were able to complete this project so quickly, thanks to the research ideas provided by Blackbeard.

Vegapunk continued: "After borrowing the body of Blackbeard, we also used his blood factors to cultivate some clones for experiments..."

"Finally, we successfully concluded that an independent blood circulation system is enough to carry a fruit ability!"

"So..." After hearing this, Chi Hong raised his head curiously and asked, "You created multiple blood circulation systems in Franky's body?"

However, Vegapunk shook his head suddenly:

"No!"

"After many tests, we have found that it is almost impossible for a person to have multiple blood circulation systems that can balance each other without affecting each other."

"Even among the clones we created using Blackbeard's blood factors, none of them could survive more than three days."

"Almost as soon as they are formed, they begin to decline."

"Existences like Blackbeard can perhaps only be described as a miracle of life."

"Is that so~" Chihong was stunned. She didn't expect that this guy Blackbeard actually had a role as the protagonist.

From what Vegapunk meant, it seemed more miraculous that he could live to adulthood than Luffy being the reincarnation of Joey Boy.

"Then...how did you complete the project!?"

Usopp on the side couldn't hold back his curiosity.

As one of the few scientific researchers among the Straw Hats, he was also attracted by Vegapunk's research ideas.

At this time, Vegapunk suddenly grinned:

"It's easy!"

"Just create a blood storage and filtration system in the modified person's body!"

"Huh!? What do you mean?"

Vegapunk's answer stunned both Red and Usopp.

But Vegapunk pressed a button with one hand, and the flying robot under his feet once again projected a picture.

The screen shows a cross-section of Franky, with a large number of small arrows in the middle of the picture, which seem to mark the direction of blood circulation.

In the position of Franky's bladder, there is a strange circular device filled with scarlet blood-like liquid, replacing the original bladder.

Vegapunk explained:

"The principle of green blood is actually to extract the bloodline factor of the superhuman fruit ability user and melt it into the blood, so that the bloodline factor with fruit ability changes."

"So, we just need to build a normal green blood application system on Franky, and then store an additional set of blood and green blood filtration system..."

"When he wants to convert the fruit ability, he just needs to pressurize the non-ability blood in the blood storage device to enter the blood vessels, and squeeze the blood with ability into the blood storage device..."

"And in this process, filter out the green blood in the blood and recycle it..."

"In this way, a perfect closed-loop system can be formed!"

"Uh..."

For some reason, looking at the vivid and vivid introduction animation on the screen, Chihong's mind inexplicably gave birth to a thought of "Is it that simple?"

But soon, he put this idea behind him.

Because Red knew that although this project sounded simple, in order to truly complete it, the scientific knowledge and methods involved might be so much that it would make people's heads explode.

Fortunately...

As a high-level member of the Straw Hat, he only needed to know the result!

"In other words, Franky can now load fruit abilities at will, but can only use one at the same time?"

"Uh... I think I can answer this question."

At this moment, Franky suddenly said:

"At present, it seems that the maximum number of fruit abilities that I can carry should be 3."

Why did he know this...

Because in the system interface in his mind, there was a [0/3] mark on the column of fruit ability carrying quantity.

"That's right." Vegapunk said regretfully: "Although I don't want to admit it, our research is still imperfect after all."

"It's just that the other three said it was ready for delivery, so Franky was allowed to come back for transformation."

"Otherwise, I would never allow such a mistake to exist."

"Heh~ It seems that I really have to thank those three guys."

Knowing that Vegapunk's perfectionist problem has come back again, Chihong immediately muttered in his heart.

If we really wait for Vegapunk to develop a perfect result, who knows when it will take.

At least for now, he is very satisfied with the result.

In the end, Vegapunk also gave a reason for the quantity limit...

That is, although the problem of bloodline factors in the blood has been solved, the impact of bloodline factors on blood vessels has become an important reason for the quantity limit.

In short, although the bloodline factor mainly acts on the blood, it will also have a certain impact on the blood vessels, but it is relatively not so strong.

With Franky's current blood vessel strength, the maximum fruit ability he can carry is the bloodline factor of 5 abilities.

But for the sake of safety, after a unanimous discussion by Vegapunk and others, Franky was finally allowed to load three fruit abilities at the same time to avoid accidents.

"I see."

After receiving this explanation, Red nodded with satisfaction.

In any case, the effect shown by the scientific research team has greatly exceeded his expectations.

After understanding Franky's body, the Straw Hats, led by Vegapunk, came to a cold storage room.

As soon as they entered, Red and the others saw a room full of strange reagents like a library.

Vegapunk smiled lightly and said to Franky:

"This is the ability storage room!"

"There are all the green bloods with superhuman fruit abilities that I collected from the World Government..."

"There are also new green bloods made after coming to the Pokémon Sea."

"I have marked the name and effect of each ability on the label near the green blood."

"Next, you can choose three fruit abilities that suit you..."
