章節 45: Wonderful World!

When Carina and Perona were discussing something, Masa found Hogback and made him pass out directly.

This guy might be unique if he was being polite.

If he was being rude, then Masa would say Hogback was simply a hideous man with a perverted hobby, yet he couldn't deny Hogback's skill, especially when Hogback was known as a world-renowned "Genius Surgeon."

If Masa had to exaggerate Hogback's medical expertise, it would be like a humanized version of Ope Ope no Mi, one of the most special Devil Fruits in One Piece, as it was one of the ways for people to achieve immortality.

By consuming the Ope Ope no Mi, Trafalgar D. Law became the best doctor in the world, and he could modify anything he wished to be in the space created by this Devil Fruit.

Yet, Hogback didn't need this Devil Fruit to do what Law did, and that fact was Absalom, who was a human, yet could gain the power of the beast from the skin of an elephant, the jaws of a lion, and muscles that are a mixture of a bear's and a gorilla's, giving him superhuman strength.

Yes, the Ope Ope no Mi might be able to simplify the surgical process, and easily accomplish what Hogback did to Absalom, like what Law did to Monet, giving her body bird-like features as a harpy in the myth.

However, in reality, this process was difficult since human and animal bodies were different.

Whether it was the flesh, bones, nerves, senses, and many others, just a single mistake could cause a rejection that could cause one to become disabled or dead.

Yet, Absalom lived well and even had superhuman strength, which showed how amazing Hogback's medical expertise was, especially in the world of One Piece, which was similar to the 17th century.

So, there was no doubt that Masa was interested in Hogback, but he didn't intend to devour Hogback since he had to say, this process was quite disgusting, and while Hogback was amazing, it wasn't to the point that he was so desperate that he wanted to devour him.

Instead, he tried to use his new ability, which he named "Archive."

Previously, Masa could use the power of Jake Jake no Mi to gain all the information he needed with the string of his jacket akin to a string telephone (chapter 8), but this time, with the power of Pika Pika no Mi, the process could be faster as he used the power of light to connect himself with Hogback's brain like an optical network.

It might not be easy to understand, but in simple terms, it was like the internet.

Masa was the computer, and Hogback was the website that he accessed, and from that website, he could download any information he wished.

Yes, with this ability, he could get any information he wished to be from anyone with a faster speed.

If it was before, with the power of Jake Jake no Mi, he was like using the internet with an old mobile broadband modem in a remote village; then, at this moment, by using the Pika Pika no Mi, he was like a man who entered the city and subscribed to the most expensive internet provider, which gave him an incredible speed within the internet.

Using the hologram screen that worked like a computer screen, Masa looked at Hogback's brain, sorting out all the information, then downloaded the important ones within his mind, such as knowledge of medicine.

This was crazy, he thought, but as he had the speed of light due to the Pika Pika no Mi, this was possible, yet he had to say it was tough.

At this moment, Masa is like Luffy, who has become so hungry after a long fight.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted his thoughts, and naturally, Masa knew who this person was.

"Done, Carina?"

"Yup." Carina smiled as she clung to Masa's neck and looked at the hologram screen curiously. She had seen this hologram screen before, but unlike before, this one appeared to be interesting, especially when she could see a loading bar like a symbol downloaded in the modern world.

Even if she didn't understand, she felt like... Masa tried to transfer Hogback's knowledge to his mind, right?

"What did you do?"

While Masa wanted to ask what Carina talked about with Perona, he stopped his words when Carina asked him this question. "I am trying to get Hogback's medical knowledge."

"Huh? Can you?"

"Yeah."

Masa explained his new ability, which made him able to transfer the knowledge of someone into his head, but then, when he looked at Carina, a certain thought appeared in his mind. "Do you want me to share some of the information with you?"

"You can do that?" Carina was dumbfounded.

"I do." Masa nodded. "Let me give you the map of this ship so you can get the treasure faster."

"Okay, do it." Carina agreed, and soon, a loading bar appeared on the top of her head. The information about Thriller Bark entered her head all of a sudden. "W-Wow..." This was amazing!

There was no need for her to study anymore!

If she wanted information, she could ask Masa!

Yet, Masa nodded and was glad that he could succeed.

If he could download information from someone's brain, then shouldn't he be able to upload his information to another's brain?

This thought made him develop the ability to upload the information within his mind to others, which was amazing, he thought.

Still, if there was a reason why he had decided to create such a troublesome ability, considering how much it took a lot of toll on his brain, it was because he didn't want to kill meaninglessly.

Devouring others with the power of Jake Jake no Mi was good and all, but as a person from a modern world, he had to say that he didn't really want to kill if possible.

Naive, probably, this was what everyone thought when they saw him, yet even if he understood that he had to be cruel, his heart and mind felt slightly overwhelmed sometimes, and he needed Carina by his side so he could calm himself.

Still, if the situation really called for him to kill, then he wouldn't think twice about doing it, just like how he was ruthless enough to kill the World Noble, an admiral, and many others.

Then, what about the crew of the Thriller Bark?

Well, thinking of Perona... Masa felt hesitant.

Nevertheless, Carina, who gained complete information about Thriller Bark, was like a fish that entered the water. She didn't hesitate and was ready to ransack this entire ship. More importantly, all the people on this ship were as good as Masa's followers, as no one dared to fight him, so she could ask for their help.

Still, before she left, she looked at Masa naughtily and whispered, "By the way, do you like that kind of hairstyle?"

"..." Masa.

"I will wear that hairstyle tonight."

Kissing him on the cheek, Carina then left to get all of her treasures.

Meanwhile, Masa did his best to study hard in medicine to become a better doctor!

It definitely had nothing to do with the fact that he was pretty excited, thinking of Carina, who would wear such a hairstyle for him.

Thinking of Carina in that hairstyle, Masa closed his eyes, thinking at how he would ride her from behind as he held her hair to stabilize his position.

'Hmm...'

Even though the world of One Piece was mostly backward, it had a wonderful culture, Masa thought. At the same time, he also thought of a good reward for Carina, but before that, he was going to process all of his gains today, and he had to say his decision to visit the Thriller Bark was a good thing.

Nevertheless, it was time for him to break when the night came.

Working was important, but a break was important, so Masa quickly entered his room and saw the room was dark. While he could use the power of light, he didn't do it, and just directly jumped into the bed as he saw Carina's figure that was wrapped inside the blanket, but—

Why were there two Carina?

No, one of them wasn't Carina!

Yet, when Masa saw the lewd expression of the person who invaded his bed with Carina's, he took a deep breath and decided to fight on!

At the same time, he was going to reward Carina greatly!

"Ah, oh! W-Wait~! Too much~! Too much~! Carina, help me~!"

Still, Carina sighed in relief, thinking that finally, she had help, but as expected, Masa didn't let her go, and for the first time, Masa thought that he was glad to enter the world of One Piece.

For the problem of Kage Kage no Mi, I admit that it has a lot of potential, but somehow, it isn't the powers that I imagine Masa will wield, so I am sorry.
