Chapter 40 Answer Key
"Kill them all!"
V issued the order without any hesitation.
More hateful than the perpetrators are those who wield judicial oversight power yet aid and abet wrongdoing.
Barley grinned, his clown-like mouth bulging, his smile growing increasingly maniacal.
"Understood!"
The moment he finished speaking, Bucky's body suddenly rose into the air.
With a mechanical hum, the folding wings on his back instantly extended to their limit.
The originally smooth surface of the wings suddenly protruded with countless sharp points, as dense as fish scales.
"Fragmented to pieces, like needles clashing in a fistfight!!!"
Before the navy could react, Bucky suddenly burst into laughter.
The next moment, countless needles suddenly shot out, like bullets, towards the surrounding navy.
"What is that!?"
"Ah! Damn it, my eyes!!!"
"Oh no, take cover!!!"
Screams and gasps of alarm instantly filled the air.
Colonel Rat was terrified and scrambled behind a half-collapsed wall, screaming, "Fire! Shoot that monster!"
However, most soldiers froze before they could pull the trigger.
The needles that pierced the body were all injected with a high concentration of neurotoxins at their tips.
The toxins act violently the moment they come into contact with the blood, eroding the nervous system.
The soldiers rolled their eyes back, foamed at the mouth, and collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
"Hahahaha..."
Bucky hovered in mid-air, the crimson light from his tactical goggles sweeping across the fallen navy below, and he let out his signature grotesque laugh.
In the upper left corner of his vision, a notification message flashed:
[Cyberneedle Storm is filling up, remaining time: 176s.]
powerful!
Incredibly strong!!!
With just a small prosthetic body, he could easily suppress hundreds of marines. Bucky couldn't think of any adjectives to describe himself.
After all, he's just too perfect right now!
It won't be long before he's able to beat Shanks and kick Whitebeard, becoming the new ruler of the New World.
Thinking of this, Bucky's lips involuntarily curled into a crescent shape.
However, just as he was immersed in his fantasy, a jolt of electricity suddenly shot through his heart.
Accompanying this was V's cold voice:
"Don't waste time, get to the testing."
"yes!"
Pakistan immediately stood at attention.
He then remembered that besides fighting, he had a special mission.
Bucky took a deep breath.
"This is absolutely insane!"
Even Roger, the captain who loved to act recklessly, wouldn't have said something like having an ability user test underwater combat.
But now, Bucky knows clearly...
I am no longer afraid of seawater or sea stone.
[Cybernetics - Deep Sea Overlord, Activated!]
A transparent, oily film suddenly appeared on Bucky's body surface.
This is a special prosthetic skin created by V based on the effects of the "God's Hand" and using various fish-man bodies as materials.
Its effect is very simple: it secretes a protective membrane controlled by the prosthetic body, which is maintained on the body surface.
This insulating membrane can completely isolate the user from seawater or any liquid, while maintaining the ability to absorb oxygen from the water.
Such a perfect ability may sound outrageous and completely unscientific!
But under the effect of the "Divine Hand," it was actually created.
It's no wonder that those hands, capable of crafting weather-resistant weapons, can create such extraordinary prosthetic bodies.
Of course, we also have to thank the Murlocs for their generosity.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these fish-men pirates are generally weak; the vast majority of them are only at the second-tier energy level.
However, among the hundreds of fish-men and dozens of fish species, each fish-man has certain differences in its physical structure.
It is precisely because of this rich biodiversity that V was able to fulfill the production conditions set forth by the "God's Hand".
"It's time for the world to submit to the magnificence of cybernetic implants."
"Let the world know what the real—version of the answer—is!"
V's lips curled into a slight smile, as if he could already see countless ability users kneeling down and calling him "daddy."
He believes that when this power is made public, it will definitely cause a huge sensation around the world.
It's just a pity...
"Even with hundreds of fishmen, we only managed to make three Deep Sea Overlord sets. The consumables are a big problem."
Prosthetic bodies created by God cannot be added to the Prosthetic Body Shop.
The only way to replicate it is to remake it using the same materials.
"but..."
V quickly came to terms with it.
"It doesn't matter."
"The crafting path has been unlocked, and other materials can be found to replace the upgrade later."
V believes that with the abundant resources of the One Piece world, isolating magma, ice, and light is not a problem.
While V was pondering this, Bucky had already begun to act again.
Freed from his feet, he soared through the air like a free bird.
The fish-fin-like wings behind him further enhanced his ability to manipulate airflow.
Bucky quickly found the rat colonel hiding behind the severed arm.
As the grotesque clown's face drew closer and larger in his line of sight, the rat was so terrified that he lost control of his bladder.
"No, don't come any closer! I'm a naval captain! Attacking a naval officer is a serious crime!"
He raised his pistol and fired two shots at Bucky.
However, the bullet was instantly crushed into powder upon contact with Bucky's body.
Bucky's body, however, did not have a single white mark left on it.
"A serious crime?"
Bucky chuckled, his arm suddenly detaching from his body, grabbing Colonel Rat's face and lifting him up.
"Waaaaah..."
Colonel Rat began to struggle violently.
Bucky, however, grabbed him and rushed toward the pool next to the ocean.
Thump!
With a loud bang, water splashed everywhere, creating huge ripples on the surface.
The moment Colonel Mouse entered the water, he felt the biting cold and the suffocating sensation.
He struggled desperately, but could only expend a few strings of bubbles in vain.
At that moment, two lines of clear tears streamed down Bucky's face.
"I did it! I really did it!"
"Hahaha..."
He laughed loudly underwater, then cried, then laughed again!
So many years...
Once considered one of the strongest swimmers in Roger's crew, he was "tricked" by Shanks into eating a Devil Fruit...
How many years has it been since I last went to sea?!
Bucky's excitement was beyond words.
Looking at the struggling rat in front of him, all the gratitude he had for V was transformed into action.
"Then let's have a... thorough test!!!"
"Fragmented and in ruins, an underwater riot!!!"
Puff puff puff puff...
With Bucky's shout, his body was instantly split into hundreds of pieces.
At the same time, he activated the "Flying Bird Mode" in his brain-computer interface.
In an instant, under the combined effects of the fruit's power and the prosthetic body, his separated body modules seemed to gain self-awareness and began to transform into underwater birds.
Each bird possesses a sharp beak and razor-sharp wings, making them perfect weapons of war.
Bucky, with only his head remaining, laughs wildly at the rats in the water:
"bring it on!"
"The real suffering has only just begun!"
