"It feels no different from a small crocodile..." Luffy thought about the crocodile in Windmill Village.
"There is no difference in appearance between these giant animals and ordinary animals. The only difference is that they are very large." Guina said.
"The mouth of the banana crocodile is really powerful. It can bite a hole in one bite..." Kuina said about the characteristics of the banana crocodile.
"What about that banana? Have you cut it off to taste it? It looks really weird, with a banana on top of your head..."
"That's meat, so the taste is normal, even though I've never eaten it..."
Weiwei was coming over to ask Luffy about something, and the conversation between him and Kuina was outrageous.
That was a banana crocodile, a particularly dangerous species and the top predator of Alabasta Eco King i, but when they were talked to like this, it was as if they were ordinary animals that could be hunted and killed at will.
This is too much, at least respect its social status:
But...I don't know if I can do it...
Weiwei pointed her toes on the ground and drew circles without disturbing Luffy and Kuina's conversation.
She also practiced six postures with Uta to strengthen her body, but she never fought.
In the beginning, when I was trained by Uta, I felt very tired every time my consciousness returned. But now I feel much better.
I'm probably getting stronger too.
"That's it. Let's report back after we control the artificial rainfall ship." Guina said.
"Well, be careful not to be seen by others. If the ship is seen, just publicize the navy's ID and say that it is doing something."
"knew……"
Luffy hung up the phone and looked at Weiwei, "What do you want from me, Weiwei?"
Now, Uta is sleeping to replenish his strength, the progress bar of flood control is already over halfway, and the data of two-thirds of the country has been collected.
"It's Icarim who's here to ask you about the poodle." Weiwei said.
"Is that Devil Fruit weapon..." Luffy thought.
He and the mayor of Clockwork Island made the weapon design drawings together, and then handed the drawings to the royal craftsmen of Alabasta for further progress.
After all, there were only things like forging steel and splicing parts, which didn't require him to expend much energy.
The inexplicable echo was felt by Luffy.
It was a very strange sound, very complicated, fuzzy and hard to hear clearly.
"Weiwei is very beautiful today." Luffy said after listening strangely for a while.
"Eh? Why are you saying this all of a sudden?" Weiwei took two steps back and asked cautiously.
"Strange...did I do something wrong?" Luffy asked.
A very messy echo came from around him, and Luffy heard it, so it was Weiwei's voice.
But I don't know what this sound represents. It's like a ball of wool intertwined and knotted, which makes people confused.
"I feel disgusted by Weiwei."
Have you done anything bad recently? Every day goes by normally, but last time, when I saw three girls sleeping on the same bed, I couldn't help but want to play a prank, and then act as Nami's licking dog.
Is it too much? It should be, but... it's too exciting.
Not in control.
"There is no such thing..."
Vivi shook her head, "I don't hate Luffy. After all, Luffy is the hero who really saved Alabasta." Vivi said with a smile.
She was wearing a light blue short skirt with no waist. The skirt looked a bit fat, but Weiwei put her hands behind her back and pressed the hem of the skirt, showing off her waistline.
It has a hazy beauty.
"Then I want to hear Weiwei call me brother."
"Brother...brother~"
Weiwei spoke softly, crimson crimson climbed up her face quietly, and then quickly disappeared.
"Hehe~"
Luffy smiled contentedly.
"Let's go find Nami. She needs to test the weapon."
It's Nami again.
Weiwei thought inexplicably.
"Well, Nami, she should be resting in the measurement room now."
The two of them walked towards the measurement room side by side. Weiwei lowered her eyes and looked at her own hands and Luffy's hands shaking each other.
What would it be like to hold hands...
Weiwei thought about this problem and then pushed Nami's measurement room away.
She was sleeping on the drawing. On top of the drawing was a topographic map of Alabasta, marked with many geographical lines, climate, and air pressure.
It seems that after the precipitation plan is completed, Nami will have a complete topographic map of Alabasta.
"It's amazing. It's more detailed than the royal family map of Alabasta..." Weiwei looked at the map and exclaimed deeply.
Luffy looked at Nami who was sleeping lightly, took her hair and rubbed it on his cheek.
Nami's eyelids fluttered, but she still didn't wake up. Luffy moved the place where his hair was rubbing to his neck.
After teasing for a while, Nami slowly opened her eyes and saw Luffy playing with her hair.
"Luffy~" Nami stood up angrily.
"It's very itchy!"
"Nami, that dog has been transformed. Let's go and see it together." Luffy said.
"Dog?" Nami looked at Luffy and felt that this was a very big, perverted dog that was disobedient.
Dog man, dog man!
"It's that weapon, right? What did you change it into?"
Nami yawned.
"If it were completely designed, it should be a poodle, right?" Luffy said.
"The species have changed..."
When they arrived at the weapons development site, they found that Nokigao was already watching the poodle.
There are many workers nearby who are hammering on the mechanical dogs and doing final stability tests.
"So big..." Nami looked up at the giant lion-shaped robot.
It has been completely transformed.
"It is six meters high and weighs about 120 tons. It has a built-in war room, which is about the same size as a single-family villa. It is completely enough to hold us and some supplies." Luffy said.
The current dog is still in weapon mode, and the mechanical transmission structure with sharp angles can be seen.
"Mr. Luffy, you made this big guy strictly according to the requirements on the drawing."
The person in charge of the project said to Luffy.
"Then let's test the performance now."
The workers moved the scaffolding away and Luffy tapped the poodle's leg.
They then saw that this huge mechanical lion was gradually filled with flesh and blood, and had the texture of an animal. The edges and corners were not as sharp as before, and the face became softer.
"Hulu~"
The giant monster made an unknown sound, and then a huge bubble dropped from its nose.
The whole body is like a dog, shaking wildly. If a dog is caught in the rain or has a problem, it will swing its body wildly at an extremely high frequency.
If it were a purely mechanical structure, it would definitely not be able to swing at such a high frequency, but if it were a living thing, it would be possible.
The six-meter-tall giant dog shook its body, and the bubbles on its nose slowly rose into the air.
"Thunder Bubble!"
Nami looked at the bubble in shock and felt the amount of electric charge inside.
"Haqiu, haqiu, haqiu!"
The huge poodle seemed not to adapt to its new body, sneezing constantly, and countless chaotic climate bubbles floated into the sky, converging into small dark clouds.
A bright yellow lightning struck the floor like a bolt from the blue.
It was completely charred.
"So dangerous!!"
Nokigao, who was watching the poodle at close range, rolled and crawled behind Nami.
"This guy... is really amazing. He transformed from cold wood and alloy into a body of flesh and blood..."
Luffy reached out and pinched his toes, feeling the warmth of his flesh and blood.
There is no doubt that this is biological.
"Can this guy create dark clouds at will?" Nami asked.
"I don't know either. This guy's ammunition depot is a very fascinating thing." Luffy said, spreading his hands.
"It looks like it makes its own ammunition, probably... similar to how people pee, does it make ammunition in the same way?"
Luffy said uncertainly.
Devil Fruit weapons require food, and only animals that can eat can eat the weapons and transform them into Devil Fruit weapons.
So, eating, drinking, and resting are a transformation mechanism?
Just like a person with abilities can eat, drink water and replenish their physical strength, they can create whatever is allowed within the scope of their abilities.
Anyway, it was about Devil Fruit. As an ordinary person, he could only make guesses.
"It's amazing!" Weiwei exclaimed.
The poodle has lost its former thin dog shape of the dachshund.
Its legs are thick, long and strong, supporting its huge body. Its neck is covered with thick velvet, its body has hard scales similar to crocodile skin, and the nails on its feet are as sharp as razor blades.
The previous dogs were thin dogs, but now the dogs are ferocious beasts. Just looking at others can bring great deterrence.
"How do you use this weapon...?" Nami asked Luffy curiously, with little stars twinkling in her eyes.
This is a super big dog, and it can also use climate bubbles, so it is very compatible with her.
"have no idea."
Luffy answered honestly.
"Eh? Don't know?" Weiwei looked at Luffy in shock.
"No, you are the designer of the weapon. How come you don't know how to adapt to it?" Noqigao asked.
"If you don't know, you just don't know. I can only design it, but who knows the specific use? It's like a kitchen knife. The original intention is for cooking, but if you use it to kill people, the designer can't stop it."
"So, I don't know how to drive this big guy..."
"I just 'trained' it, turning it from a weak dachshund into a powerful dachshund-lion form."
"The poodle I imagined can protect you. In order to prevent it from misusing its power such as catching a cold, I set the weapon into a bubble..." Luffy said.
"Here comes the new question, how should we use this guy?"
Nami rubbed her chin.
If a weapon cannot be used, it is no different from trash.
"Would you like to call it's name and then strike a pose to say it's a fusion?" Luffy encouraged Nami.
"No, it's too shameful!" Nami quickly refused.
The poodle stopped sneezing and seemed to be gradually adapting to the new body. He tilted his head and looked at Luffy. When he heard the word "merge", a red light flashed in his eyes.
He ate people like Luffy and Nami in one bite.
Luffy and Nami rolled down the esophagus into the villa-shaped space inside.
The poodle's eyes are like windows, projecting what it sees into the villa, so that people inside the villa can clearly see the outside world.
There is a console inside the villa with buttons for thunder, heat, cold, fog, sound, etc. written on it.
"What are these?" Nami pressed down one by one curiously.
"Top list."
"I don't know how to play it specifically. It will be abnormalized by Devil Fruit." Luffy said.
As Nami pressed the thunder button, the poodle opened its mouth and spit out a thunder ball.
Nami pressed the button and before she let go, she realized that the charge in the ball was increasing, turning into a white sphere with the power of static electricity.
"What's the sound?" Weiwei pressed.
"What I designed is a big speaker that can roar at others. After all, it is a big lion, and it must have a lion's roar."
Luffy explained from the side.
As Weiwei pressed it, the thunderball gathered in the poodle's mouth burst, emitting a sizzling electric sound. The electric sound was amplified by the sound and became very loud.
"The fog is just a smoke bomb, just for fun."
Nami presses it, and the poodle spits out white smoke.
"It's so fun!" Nami's eyes lit up, feeling like she had figured out how to use the mecha.
"Shall we give it a name?" Nami said.
"What should I call it?" Noqigao asked.
Nami thought that poodles evolved from dachshunds and had a ring of artificial fuzz around their necks.
"Why don't we call it... Fluffy!"
Nami said the poodle's name confidently.
The poodle purred and lay on the ground.
"Look, it likes this name very much!" Nami said happily.
"No, I don't feel the sound of joy at all..." Weiwei and Nuo Qigao shook their heads.
Luffy also wanted to test whether it could walk on the sea, so he asked the dog to walk into the reservoir prepared in advance.
The pond is a five-meter-wide and ten-meter-deep reservoir. With the poodle's weight, it should sink directly.
But with the existence of a super buoyant board, Luffy's idea is that it can float and stand on the water. If it doesn't work, the seawater will not reach the soles of its feet.
The results calculated using mathematics can float.
The poodle stood at the edge of the pool and stopped. Whether it was the performance of the devil fruit or the performance of the weapon, it automatically had the characteristic of hating water.
But the master's orders are absolute.
It still stretched out its palms and stepped into the water.
"Wait, Luffy, we're going to fall directly into the water, right?"
Nami asked.
This one weighs a ton.
"Let's take a look at the situation first..." Luffy said.
They saw the poodle's first two paws sinking into the water, and then bouncing back to the surface.
The poodle obviously noticed this strange situation, so he stepped into the water with his whole body.
Its body suddenly sank, and then the dog's belly touched the water, and then slowly rebounded, with only the paws sinking into the water.
When the water level reached a little above the ankles, the dog stopped sinking.
"Very good, that's it. A new generation of sea-stone weapons!"
Luffy announced that the basic performance test was a complete success!
