The Straw Hat Pirates' Scientist

"To collect all of the GX-type White Eyes, you'll need over 2300 points, and the Body Strengthening Supplement will cost around 1650 points!"

"However, this is only theoretical data. In actual research, there will be error rates and losses, and more points will be needed to obtain them."

Ron's eyes flickered as he quickly began to calculate in his mind.

"The gliding boots will require about 1500 points worth of materials. I can have Merry prepare the rest."

"These things aren't too expensive. If we have the money, we can make a pair for other people too. After all, being able to glide in the air for a short time would be very convenient."

Ron started searching again, and while the GX-type White Eye, the physical enhancement supplement, and the gliding boots cost a lot of points, Ron now had 32000 points.

It could be said that he still has quite a bit of money left, enough for him to further arm himself.

"Buying some finished products is not enough; I can only buy some blueprints." After searching for a while, Ron sighed helplessly.

Because the finished product is a hundred times more expensive than the blueprints.

So his 32000 points seem like a lot, but after being reduced by a hundredfold, they are not much at all.

"It seems we can only focus on the blueprints and then purchase some materials to improve our strength first."

Thinking of this, Ron immediately started searching again, but this time his purpose was different from before.

Soon, he found a satisfactory drawing in the online store.

"GX-type octopus-shaped robotic arm!"

"The complete blueprint costs 20000 points, which is a bit expensive, but it's extremely useful to me!"

Ron's eyes lit up immediately.

This thing is somewhat similar to the mechanical arm used by the villain Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man, but it is much more flexible.

Not only is it a GX type, but it can also be plugged in and used immediately.

Moreover, each tentacle no longer consists of three rigid mechanical metal plates, but rather six mechanical claws.

This greatly increases the flexibility and practicality of the robotic arm, enabling it to perform more precise tasks.

After Ron acquired it, it was as if he had four more flexible arms, which greatly improved his work efficiency.

In addition to its use in the laboratory, these four robotic arms can also be used for rock climbing, attacking, walking, binding, and so on, making them quite versatile.

When not in use, it can be shrunk back to about half the size of a shoulder bag.

To use it, simply insert it into your lower back.

Its end has an extremely fine stylus covered with tens of millions of neural networks. When using it, it is as easy as being bitten by a mosquito, and it can be easily inserted into the body.

It can be flexibly controlled through the brain, and it is very lightweight.

Even with Ron's current physique, he could easily ignore its weight.

Even if Ron wanted, he wouldn't have to take it off while sleeping.

Because the robotic arm can perfectly support his body, it is more comfortable to sleep on than a bed.

"This is it!"

Although 26000 points is a bit pricey, now is not the time to be frugal.

In addition, there's the material he plans to buy for the GX-type white eye, the gliding boots, and the fitness supplements...

The points were almost gone before I even received them.

Fortunately, now is not the time to save money.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The ship that Kaya gave to the Straw Hats is now complete, and Merry collected the bounty yesterday.

Ron immediately exchanged for the materials and made the health-enhancing supplement.

After taking the health-enhancing supplements, his body was strengthened once again.

Through strength testing, Ron discovered that his single-arm strength had increased from 170 pounds to a full 600 pounds, and his combined strength was 1200 pounds.

The amplitude exceeded three times!

It's already much stronger than theoretically possible, and Ron guessed it might be related to his use of the Deep Sea Warrior serum.

Previously, Ron's body couldn't fully absorb the effects of the drug.

Now, after being further enhanced by the health-strengthening supplement, the combined effects of the two medicines have achieved a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Therefore, Ron's strength increased by more than three times.

However, although Ron's strength was more than three times greater, his power still couldn't match Krieg's terrifying 200-pound strength.

"While his strength is not as great as others, it still surpasses that of ordinary people."

Besides, I'm not a berserker who does close combat. If I'm strong, I might as well shovel manure. I'm a researcher!

Ron immediately comforted himself.

Besides, Krieg's potential is limited, while Ron's potential is limitless.

Moreover, fitness supplements not only increase strength, but also improve the entire body in a comprehensive way, including endurance, resilience, and so on.

Therefore, after Ron's body was enhanced, and with the help of the robotic arm, it only took him about half a day.

Finally, the GX-type Byakugan has been created.

"Let me test just how powerful this GX-type Byakugan really is!"

Ron was immediately tempted. He took a deep breath and looked at the biotechnology products on the control panel, which had cost him a lot of points.

Before Ron could even go look for the test subject, Zoro's voice came from outside.

"Ron, get ready to set sail!"

Upon hearing Zoro's words, Ron's lips curled up, and an excited expression appeared on his face.

One of the pirate crew's three main swordsmen was used to test his current strength...

Just right!

"Hey, Ron, you're actually going to duel Zoro?" Luffy asked curiously.

After all, in his eyes, Ron was a scientist.

Even if it has some strange and unusual features, its true strength is definitely inferior to Zoro's.

Zoro has been training hard ever since, aiming to become the world's greatest swordsman.

Luffy fully acknowledges Zoro's strength.

However, Luffy did not stop their duel.

After all, this was just a friendly sparring match within the pirate crew, not a life-or-death struggle.

Luffy was also very curious about why Roon wanted to fight Zoro.

"Could it be that Ron has come up with some new invention?"

Upon realizing this, Luffy's eyes lit up, and he even felt a surge of anticipation.

"Hey, is it really okay for you not to stop them?" Usopp said with some concern.

"Don't worry, it's fine. Zoro is very strong, and Roon has a very powerful scientific gadget protecting him!" Luffy said nonchalantly.

He had personally witnessed Ron's C-rank energy shield; if it could block bullets, it should naturally be able to withstand Zoro's slashes as well.

After all, he had seen Zoro's current slashes, which were very sharp, but their power was probably not enough to break through Ron's defenses.

This is also the main reason why Luffy didn't stop the two.

If you know beforehand that there is no danger to your life in this duel, then what is the point of stopping it?

And Luffy is very curious right now.

"Dual Sword Style: Eagle Wave!"

Zoro immediately swung his long sword rapidly, generating terrifying air pressure, and instantly rushed towards Ron.

This move is extremely powerful and can deal with ordinary solid rocks.

But Zoro knew that this move alone was not enough to defeat Ron. He needed to use a wide-range, powerful attack to test Ron's energy shield.

"What?"

Just then, Ron surprisingly didn't activate his energy shield, causing Zoro's expression to harden.

He believed that Ron's energy shield could withstand his Eagle Wave Slash.

However, if the opponent does not activate their energy shield, they will definitely not be able to withstand this attack.

Even Luffy didn't dare to take that attack head-on; he could only dodge it using his speed.

Ron's speed was far inferior to Luffy's, and the attack was already close at hand, so it was too late for Ron to dodge.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Zoro's expression was solemn; he was simultaneously angry, shocked, furious, and worried.

"Eye roll!"

However, just as the Eagle Wave Slash was about to strike, Ron's eyes suddenly turned white.

GX-type Byakugan activated instantly!

Similar to the principle used by robotic arms, the whites of the eyes are simply embedded in the eye sockets to fix them to the eyes.

It feels more like colored contact lenses when used, only a bit bigger.

Moreover, the GX-type white eye is not simply a solid; it is somewhere between a solid and a liquid, similar to a Newtonian fluid.

When embedded in the eye socket, it will instantly blend with the user's eyes.

However, if you press down on both eyes and pry downwards, they will return to a shape similar to solid eyeballs.

This is what makes the GX type of white eye special.

Before Ron fought Zoro, he had already used the GX type Byakugan.

This thing is like a robotic arm. Although it is a GX type, it is easy to plug in and use, and flexible. However, wearing it on your body for a long time will not affect your normal life.

On the contrary, the special nature of these products can bring more convenience to daily life.

For example, Ron, who has activated his Byakugan at this moment, not only has an unimaginable wide field of vision, but also, by enhancing his neural responses twice and his dynamic vision, he has actually created a bullet-time effect.

The oncoming strike, swift as the wind and lightning, was actually moving slowly toward him.
