Chapter 35 Ah Long, it's time for your thesis defense!
"Wuhu~"
"Finally ashore!!!"
The two-day voyage has come to an end.
Luffy was the first to jump off the ship.
He gazed at the deserted harbor before him and excitedly took a deep breath of the air, which smelled of land.
"Hey, Luffy, you forgot to unload your weights!?"
Just then, Usopp also jumped off the ship.
Pfft...
A gust of air swept by, and he performed a backflip in mid-air as if showing off his skills, landing precisely next to Luffy.
At this moment, Usopp has completely changed!
His hands and legs were covered with cold, metallic prosthetics, and he wore a tactical bulletproof vest. A large sniper rifle stood imposingly behind him, exuding a tough-guy aura.
Unfortunately, that smug look instantly shattered his composure.
Usopp tilted his nose to the sky: "How about it, Luffy? Wasn't my double jump cool!"
"Damn it!" Luffy gritted his teeth. "I was also modified by V, so why am I so uncool?"
Luffy spread his hands, and on his palms was a metallic pattern exactly the same as Zoro's.
It is precisely this bugged prosthetic body that says "effort will lead to success".
The only difference between him and Zoro is...
When Zoro's prosthetic body is activated, it emits a deep, dark blue light.
When Luffy's prosthetic body lit up, it was a blazing golden light, like the fire of the sun.
However, when it came to Sanji, the prosthetic body emitted a blood-red glow reminiscent of lava from a demon world.
Even V didn't expect that the prosthetic body would behave differently in different people.
"Alright, stop complaining."
V's figure appeared beside Luffy as if by teleportation.
"Isn't it because there isn't a suitable prosthetic body for you?"
"not to mention..."
He glanced at Usopp with amusement.
"If it weren't for Usopp's extremely weak body, why would I have attached a bunch of trash Tier 2 prosthetics to my partner?"
"Hey, V! You said you wouldn't tell anyone!!!" Usopp, whose plan had been exposed, instantly lost his temper.
Unfortunately, while 21,000 trading points may seem like a lot, when averaged out to each individual, it's actually not that much.
Especially Usopp.
V initially prepared a sniper rifle for him worth 3000 trading points.
[Nekomata]
[Level: 3]
Type: Technical Sniper Rifle
[Description: Long-range armor-piercing suppression weapon, compatible with multiple projectile types]
Effective range: 3000 meters; maximum range: 5000 meters.
It can be charged during combat, and its power is greatly increased after charging. It has an effective range of 5000 meters and a maximum range of 8000 meters, with powerful armor-piercing capabilities.
That's right.
After dealing with the Krieg Pirates, V successfully advanced to a Tier 3 prosthetic doctor.
The number of wards increased by 4, reaching a total of 7.
Meanwhile, the prosthetics store also received a major update.
This Tier 3 cat-like weapon is currently the most expensive sniper rifle in the entire cybernetic shop.
In order to allow Usopp to play his full role, V had to install a pair of prosthetic arms for him that could power a technical sniper rifle.
Although it's only level 2, it's still worth 1000 trading points.
In order to enable Usopp to fight normally, V also replaced his legs with prosthetics that allow him to double jump in the air, increasing his combat agility.
In addition, Usopp's Tier 3 tactical bulletproof vest is also a high-end item worth 1500 points.
Of course, V's dedication to Usopp wasn't out of pity for him being a weakling.
Who told him to sell Usopp's legs to the black market?
As expected of a member of the main characters, a pair of legs rated as Tier 2 actually sold for a high price of 15,000 trading points.
Meanwhile, Usopp's hands were also transformed by V into a pair of interesting Tier 5 prosthetics.
V has now fitted himself with these prosthetic bodies.
If he hadn't thought that Usopp's eyes had the potential to be improved in the future, he would have even considered replacing them with prosthetic eyes.
"Nami, you lead the way."
Seeing Nami step off the ship with a complicated expression, V took the initiative to speak with a smile:
"After today, the dark clouds hanging over Cocoa West Village will completely disappear!"
"Um!"
Upon hearing this, a glint of inspiration flashed in Nami's eyes.
She said, "Let's go straight to Alon Amusement Park!"
Nami, who couldn't wait to see the Fishman Pirates die, made her decision instantly without the slightest hesitation.
Sanji, who was right behind him, quietly lit a cigarette.
In this atmosphere, he didn't say anything silly.
Instead, he stood guard beside Nami like a mysterious knight.
Like Luffy, he was not subjected to any deep modifications by V.
Success is simply achieved by adding a third-level brain-computer interface and putting in effort.
"A fish-man from the New World, huh?"
Zoro looked excited as he placed his hands on the three long swords at his waist.
One is the Wado Ichimonji.
The other two are the Samurai Sword Ashura and the Samurai Sword Awakening, which V redeemed for him!
Although it is only a Tier 3 katana, its sharpness is in no way inferior to that of an ordinary fine sword.
The only difference between them and the world-famous swords of One Piece is that they lack a skilled swordsman to make them famous.
Nami's orange hair fluttered in the sea breeze as she walked confidently ahead.
Led by her, V and her group went straight to the gate of "Alon Paradise," which was surrounded by high walls, spires, and exaggerated decorations.
The iron gate was tightly shut, adorned with ugly merman totems, exuding a nauseating aura of arrogance.
Just as V and the others stood still, a fishman at the entrance of the amusement park spotted them.
Just when he thought that another human was trying to get revenge, a wisp of orange hair caught his eye.
"Huh? Nami...you're back?!"
The merman was instantly wide awake, his drowsiness replaced by a mixture of surprise, confirmation, and a twisted excitement.
He practically jumped as he turned around, shouting at the top of his lungs towards the park, his voice trembling with excitement:
"Hey! Look! Nami's back!!!"
His shouts, like pebbles thrown into a stagnant pool, instantly shattered the false tranquility inside and outside Alon Paradise.
"What? Nami?!"
"Nami is back?!"
"Where is it?!"
More voices came from inside the park, filled with surprise, mockery, and undisguised greed.
The fishmen turned their gazes over, and at the same time, they saw the Straw Hat crew behind Nami.
"Nami, are these guys the latest unlucky guys you've tricked!?"
"How could you have tricked me into coming here? Human intelligence is truly laughable!"
The fish-men who first discovered Nami laughed contemptuously.
But just as he was about to take a step forward and get closer to Nami...
Whoosh!
A flash of blood-red light suddenly appeared.
Immediately afterwards, the fishman's gaze became vacant.
Under the watchful eyes of the other merfolk, his figure suddenly leaned back and fell to the ground with a thud.
On his chest, there was a huge, smooth, and grotesque scratch that ran across his entire upper body.
Zoro held Ashura, still stained with blood, a look of satisfaction on his face.
"This is truly an exceptionally fine sword!"
"V, thanks!"
