Franky, after hearing the whole account, had his mind blown. He couldn't believe that there might be other worlds or that a devil's fruit could exist that would allow him to live another life.
"You are joking. Aren't you?" Franky said.
"Luffy has two characters, and technically speaking, he has three Devil fruits with him now. One is a ninja, and the other two can be said to be something related to gods." Vivi went on to explain how the Devil Fruit of Ken worked and how they were able to do so much.
Franky was surprised and speechless. It was no wonder Ken was able to summon such a strange monster to fight the Buster Call or the weird gravity thing that deleted the Navy. His devil fruit was broken to begin with.
"So you want me to go through the so-called simulation in order to gain a character?" Franky understood the gist of it and asked. Everyone nodded their heads.
"Will I be able to swim? The shipwright needs to know how to swim." Franky was skeptical a bit and thus asked.
"Of course you can swim. There are no side effects of this power." Ken assured him.
"Fine. I will take the simulation." Franky, and in the next moment, he was put inside Ken's system. Everybody got to see his new life, just like they did in previous times.
"Zoro, your character completion is coming to an end. You will get your second character soon." Ken commented when Franky had just went in. It would take some time to grow up, and until then, they could gossip. Zoro just nodded his head, not showing any emotion.
Since Skypea, he has become increasingly silent. Normally he would talk at times, but now Yoriichi's character has rubbed off on him. He had become too stoic and seemed to see the world in a different light altogether.
Yoriichi was one hell of a character, so Zoro emulating him did have its effects. Of course, if Zoro was not affected by the news, the others definitely were. Zoro had been the only person who had a rather normal character as compared to others, and even normal humans were supposed to do what he was capable of.
Of course, excluding the Yoriichi character.
Meanwhile, Franky had grown up to be an amazing man. He had a somewhat privileged life; his parents were well settled, especially his father, who was a world-renowned scientist. But like every family, his family had its problems too. The problem here is that the father wasn't able to give much time to the family.
He was always busy at work and never appreciated what his father had.
"Look, Luffy, this father of his is like ours. Hahaha." Ken laughed. He had already recognized what kind of character Franky was going to get, and he had to admit that the system had chosen the most accurate character for him. Their journeys would be so good and comfortable after he could assimilate his character.
"Father? Do I have a father?" Luffy asked, being a little confused. The last character in Jin Mori also didn't have any father figures in his life, only his grandpa. So in both lives, he had never seen a father figure.
"Of course you have a father. Everyone has one, you idiot." Sanji said. Though he had a little anger in his eyes, he did say that.
"I wonder how my father is at the moment." Ussop mumbled. Though he had heard about his father being a great marksman, he had never seen him in action. Nami didn't have any idea of her parents, as she was washed away and was just adopted by Bellemere.
Sanji refused to see his father as his father, as he was a monster, according to him. Only Zoro knew about his father and still didn't care.
"Hmm.." Luffy didn't think much and focused on Franky's new life. In order for Franky to prove his worth, the child grew up very hardworking. He was great in both studies and sports.
But he also had a very kind and protective heart. He would never take injustice from anyone, and he often got into problems because of that.
"This world has almost the same technologies as Vivi's. There are no power people here, though. I wonder what is so special about this character." Nami said. And others also agreed. Soon the turning point of Franly's life came, and it blew the minds of the people who were watching.
The character had a famous football (American football) match. It was a very important match, but as usual, his father wasn't in place to watch his son score the touchdown. And this angered and disappointed him. While returning home, it was here that everything broke loose. He and his mother got involved in a very bad car accident. It immediately killed his mother, and he himself was on life support.
The doctors gave him a timeline of two weeks of life. The character was alive only because he had his heart and one or two other organs functioning. He had lost more than 50% of his limbs and even a side of his face due to this accident.
The father was devastated to see this. He regretted it, and after losing his wife, he didn't want to lose his son too. So he did the most ridiculous thing possible. He used an unconfirmed technology on him.
Here, the unconfirmed technology is an alien technology. Or, in this case, it had another name.
The Motherbox.
Yes, Franky had gotten the character of Cyborg, or Victor Stone, from the DC series. Victor Stone here was Zack Snyder's version, and thus the others couldn't recognize him. The straw hats looked at Vic in horror when he was getting transformed, as it looked very painful. Vivi and Nami almost cried hearing his screams, while the men just looked at him with a bit of anticipation and excitement.
And they were not disappointed. When Franky's character finally finished his transformation, he looked gorgeous. So good that Luffy, Ussop, and Chopper had drool dripping from their mouths and wide, shiny eyes.
