Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: Super Burning Cola and Franky's Evolution Route

Chiba glanced at Nami, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of mischief and intrigue. She was slender and youthful, with a beauty that was only beginning to mature. In a couple of years, he knew, her figure would blossom fully, giving her a devil-like body to match her angelic face.

Such a stunning woman was not someone he intended to ignore, but he knew he had to be careful. He couldn't be too obvious or he'd scare off this "little thief cat."

"Well," Chiba said thoughtfully, "having a skilled navigator is essential on the open seas. Your body is indeed worth studying."

Turning away, he called out, "Franky, you're up first. Come with me."

"Super! Just you wait, everyone—get ready to meet the brand-new Franky!" Franky shouted excitedly as he hurried after Chiba.

Nami clenched her fists in excitement. She'd secured her spot on the list and couldn't wait to see what Chiba's study would reveal. But beside her, Sanji gave a warning look.

"Nami, I think he's just interested in your… um… body," Sanji muttered.

Bam!

Nami's fist connected with his face. "Don't you dare insult Chiba-kun like that!"

Sanji was left speechless, wondering if Nami had somehow lost her mind. Meanwhile, Brook laughed heartily.

"Yohahahaha! Sanji, are you jealous of Brother Chiba?"

Sanji's face turned red with frustration, but he couldn't argue with Brook. Unable to take his anger out on Nami, he turned toward the skeleton musician. "Brook, stay right there! I'm going to rearrange your bones!"

"Yohahahaha! You're just envious, Sanji! Yohahaha!"

For Chiba, this was his first chance to study a cyborg, and he found Franky's modified body fascinating. The study took longer than his previous sessions, as he wanted to understand every detail.

After half a month of intense research…

[You have disassembled Franky and gained a deep understanding of his engineering principles. Drawing from past-life influences, you have created the Super Burning Cola formula and devised an evolution route for Franky's upgrades.]

[Super Burning Cola: A new type of cola that provides up to 10,000 times the power of Franky's current cola.]

[Franky Robot Evolution Route: - Franky Bumblebee Form - Franky Optimus Prime Form]

[Franky Gundam Evolution Route: - Franky Red Zaku Gundam Form - Franky Atlas Gundam Form - Franky Z Gundam Form - Franky Gundam 00 Form]

As the system message finished, detailed blueprints for each of Franky's possible transformations appeared in Chiba's mind. He immediately sketched them out on paper, labeling each form with specifications and measurements.

Chiba had also refined the formula for Super Burning Cola, ensuring that Franky would be able to harness massive power boosts. However, he held back a few key details, modifying the formula so that the maximum power output was still limited compared to his original design. Likewise, he subtly weakened critical points in the blueprints. This would ensure that while Franky would become a powerful ally, he wouldn't pose a potential threat to Chiba himself.

Once the preparations were complete, Chiba handed over the modified formula and the blueprints to Franky.

Franky's jaw dropped as he pored over the designs, his eyes wide with excitement. "Super! SUPER! Brother Chiba, you're a genius! These designs are unreal! A Franky Bumblebee form, Franky Optimus Prime… I can transform into a vehicle AND a person?!"

He flipped to the Gundam page, practically trembling with excitement. "And these Gundam forms! With this kind of power, I could destroy an island in one shot! Brother Chiba, can these really be built?"

Chiba nodded, smiling. "They're all possible, but the materials required are rare, and the precision needed is high. Whether or not you can bring these designs to life depends on your own skill."

"Super! Even if I have to work non-stop, I'll turn these blueprints into reality!"

Franky was fired up like never before. He left the lab practically bouncing with excitement, eager to share his new blueprints with the rest of the crew.

Luffy's eyes sparkled as he listened to Franky's plans. "Whoa! That's awesome, Franky! You've got to finish the upgrades soon so I can see!"

Chopper's eyes were filled with stars. "When it's done, can I ride inside, Franky? Pretty please?"

"Super! Of course, no problem!" Franky agreed with a grin.

"Me too, me too!" Usopp added, just as excited.

With his crewmates cheering him on, Franky felt more motivated than ever. He immediately dove into his work, deciding to start with the Bumblebee form—the simplest of the transformations in terms of materials and skill requirements.

---

Meanwhile, seeing Franky's success only fueled Brook and Nami's excitement. They looked at Chiba eagerly, each hoping to be next.

Unable to wait any longer, Luffy barged into the lab, insisting, "Chiba! Study my body next!"

Chiba, however, promptly punched him out of the room and called for Brook instead.

---

One day later…

[You have a deep understanding of Brook's skeletal structure and his Yomi Yomi no Mi abilities. You have created the ability Song of Tranquility, a melody that soothes the soul and erases all worries and sorrows, removing both positive and negative emotions. Its power scales with the user's soul strength.]

A hauntingly beautiful melody formed in Chiba's mind, and he carefully transcribed it onto paper.

However, he had weakened the original composition. At full strength, the Song of Tranquility could rob listeners of all emotions, turning them into hollow shells. Chiba understood the dangerous potential of this power—if Brook, with his immense soul power, learned the full version, he could inadvertently affect everyone around him.

He handed the toned-down composition to Brook, who accepted it with reverence.

"Yohohoho! Brother Chiba, you've created a masterpiece! This divine melody could live on for centuries—no, for all eternity!" Brook exclaimed, deeply moved. As he played the new piece, everyone on the ship felt a wave of calm wash over them, soothing their spirits and lifting the crew's morale even higher.

---

Finally, it was Nami's turn. Just as Luffy tried to dash back into the lab, Nami grabbed him and tossed him out with surprising strength.

"I'm next!" she declared firmly, stepping into the lab with a faint blush on her cheeks.

Nami had done her homework, asking Robin, Franky, and Chopper what to expect. Still, as she lay on the examination table, she couldn't help but feel nervous, her cheeks flushing a bit more.

Chiba approached her, reaching out, but Nami quickly stopped him. "I… I'll do it myself," she said, her voice wavering slightly.

Her face turned even redder as she slowly began to unbutton her shirt. Chiba watched her, feeling a bit guilty for the situation. But he justified it to himself. We're practically family now, and one day…

Two days later…

[You have gained a deep understanding of Nami's body structure. Inspired by her natural beauty, you have created the Beauty and Youth Elixir.]

[Beauty and Youth Elixir: When consumed, this elixir enhances breast size, beautifies the face, and grants smooth, delicate skin and eternal youth.]

Chiba's face reddened slightly as he read the system message. It seemed that his research results tended to reflect whatever thoughts were on his mind at the time. When he studied Franky, he thought of robots and transformations; when he studied Robin, he focused on expanding her Devil Fruit powers. But with Nami, his mind had lingered on her beauty and allure… resulting in this beauty-enhancing elixir.

He handed the formula to Nami, who was ecstatic. Her eyes sparkled as she hugged him, planting a quick kiss on his cheek. "Mr. Chiba, you're amazing! This is perfect! I don't know how to thank you."

Chiba gave her a serious look. "Well, there is one thing. After you take the elixir, let me… check the results. You know, to make sure it's working properly."

Nami's face turned beet red, realizing what he was implying. Check the results? The effects of the elixir were, after all, rather… personal.

Despite her embarrassment, she didn't say no, a small smile playing on her lips as she thought of the power she'd soon wield over her own beauty.
