We have our own ancient weapon

Some of them complained that there was nothing interesting happening before and now couldn't get out of their seats watching how suddenly a normal world changed into a weird, unrecognizable story.

There were aliens and battles. There were Superman, Batman, and others.

"Oye Chopper. Isn't this your world?" Zoro remembered the

"Yes, but this is not our story. Why is it so different?" Chopper asked. Ken didn't want to explain the multiverse theory at the moment, as that would be too much for their brains to handle, and just replied that it might be the story after Flash went on to change the time.

The parallel universe theory was too complicated at the moment, and maybe Franky would demonstrate it when he came out of the simulation. The story was a long one, and it took some time to finish as it showed the arrival of Darksied. Everyone here saw his arrival and his horrors for the second time.

"This guy is just made for destruction, or what?"

"Seems like it. He has eye powers just like Ken and Ace."

"My powers are different than his." Ken protested.

"Yours is more ridiculous." Zoro said. Ken didn't want to argue about this. His eye powers were really of many kinds, but at times, the Omega sanction was more destructive. His Omega sanction had even sent Batman into the past. What more ridiculous could it get?

And somehow, at the end, they finally won the war against Darkseid. This was a long fight, especially after Superman changed sides. This was a true nightmare for them.

"At least they won," Zoro said.

Everyone nodded. Though it was a tough battle and people died, in the end they won. After finishing the simulation, Franky was out. But this time he didn't look the same as he once did. His body became more lean, and the body mass seemed to be distributed evenly on his whole body, not like his upper body became more buff while the lower part looked thinner than Garp's.

Now half of his body, including his hands, had a shiny exterior.

It was for this 50% completion that he made such a huge change. The physique was a testament to its new mechanical enhancements, boasting a robust and muscular build similar to Franky's previous cyborg form. A network of intricate, metallic plates covered the body, creating a visually striking and formidable exterior. The plates gleamed with a polished silver finish, reflecting light in mesmerizing patterns.

The head was adorned with a metallic skullcap, housing an array of sensors and targeting systems reminiscent of Cyborg's cybernetic enhancements. The eyes, glowing with a vibrant red hue, projected an intense focus.

Massive mechanical arms and hands, endowed with an impressive array of gadgets and weaponry, extend from his shoulder sockets. The limbs possessed the raw strength to crush obstacles and protect their allies, much like Franky's powerful arms.

As he moved, one could hear the subtle whirring and clicking of gears and motors beneath their metallic exteriors, signifying their mechanical nature. Despite his imposing appearance, he possessed a certain rugged charm.

Their lower half was equally impressive, featuring powerful mechanical legs that provide enhanced speed and agility. Steel-plated boots stomp the ground with authority, leaving an indelible mark wherever they stride.

This was enough to make Chopper unconscious, while Ussop and Luffy seemed to hyperventilate seeing this. Even the girls in the crew were impressed by Franky's new look.

"Are there any problems, Franky?"

"No.. This is awesomeeee. Yoooo.." Franky was back to his old ways, and the character didn't seem to affect his view of the world.

"So what do you say, Franky? Are you ready to repair the ship?" Sanji asked, seeing a glimpse of modern fighting in the story, if they could get their hands on a much cooler ship assimilated into Merry.

"Oh. I am going to make a ship that can easily rival the Pluton drawings that I have seen before in Merry." It brought a smile to everyone's face. They wanted Merry to be much better, and Franky's assuring them meant a huge thing for them.

"Franky, here is your help." Ken spoke as he summoned a cuboid from his system. It was the motherbox. Since the Motherbox had been with Cyborg for a long time and he had used it for many purposes, he was able to bring it out.

This would serve as excellent fuel for the ship and would go along perpetually, almost forever, driving the ship without needing any help from the wind and being at the mercy of the ocean. Franky jumped for joy upon seeing the motherbox. He was a little skeptical before about the fuel source, but he isn't anymore.

"Thank you," Franky said.

"Let's get back to our place." Ken said as he brought out his Stormbreaker and vanished from the island. They were back at the same place where they had left and saw that Iceberg and others were still present in the same place.

It might seem like a long time had passed for the straw hats, but only a few minutes had passed in the real world. Iceburg and others had their jaws on the floor looking at the new Franky.

They actually almost didn't recognize Franky, and it was only his hair and some distinct features that had made Franky recognizable.

"Franky. Is that you?" Iceburg asked in hesitation.

"Yo baka-burg.. Tell me you like my new look. It's much cooler than the previous one. Isn't it?" Franky replied. They really couldn't believe their own eyes.

"Franky.. What the hell happened? Where did you vanish away, and how did you change so much?" Paulie asked because he wanted an explanation.

"Hahahah.. You are all jealous. Well, after joining the crew, I got some special privileges and gained new knowledge. They helped me become a new version of myself. Let's go everyone; we need to repair Merry." Franky deflected the question in the best manner possible for him.
