Chapter 158: God-level transformation?! Hundred times critical strike x ten times return = ten thousand times the explosion rate!
"No…" Franky tapped the material in disappointment. "Besides being blindingly flashy and uncomfortably hard, it has no SUPER characteristics!"
Just as the material was about to be deemed a failure, he suddenly raised his re-condensed Modification Hammer: "The last two strikes—betting on the soul of a cyborg!"
Franky mustered every ounce of his energy. Electric sparks burst from his mechanical joints as the Modification Hammer transformed into a golden meteor.
"Transform for me!"
CLANG—!!!
Amid the deafening roar, the system prompt erupted with dazzling, colorful light:
[Modification successful!]
[Obtained: Adaptive Golden Adam Wood]
[Characteristics unlocked:]
[Normal State - Possesses the sturdy resilience of Adam Wood!]
[Overload - After enduring an impact exceeding its limit, it exhibits the ductility of gold and changes shape!]
Franky irritably ran his fingers through his hair, pinching the section of Golden Adam Wood and producing a grating friction sound.
"SUPER—unqualified!" he roared at the material. "If it gets flattened, I have to manually restore it! What kind of 'adaptive' is that?!"
"What I want is legendary memory metal! The kind that returns to its original shape no matter how it's smashed!"
His gaze fell once more on the Modification Hammer. Franky poured all his obsession into it, the words "memory… restoration…" echoing wildly in his mind.
"Betting on the dignity of a cyborg—" He roared, leaping up. The Modification Hammer, wreathed in a data storm, crashed down! "Remember your own shape, you damn material!"
BANG!!!
Amid the deafening roar, the entire Water 7 was suddenly bathed in golden light!
The system prompt rang out like heavenly music, echoing across the sky:
[Hidden: God-tier Modification triggered!!!]
[Modification complete!]
[First Trigger Reward · Hundredfold Critical Hit: 1 × 100!]
[Obtained: God-tier Golden Adam Wood × 100!]
[Unlocked hidden attribute: Eternal Memory Reshaping!]
The entire Water 7 seemed to freeze.
Franky remained frozen in his hammering posture, his face blank, unable to believe the system prompt he had just heard…
"God… God-tier Modification?!" His vocal cords distorted from shock. "SUPER—incredible luck!"
Before he could finish, the Modification Hammer dissipated into a stream of data.
The light in Franky's eyes suddenly went out, and his steel body fell straight backward. The excessive mental energy consumption had led to a faint—though not hallucinating was the best possible outcome.
"Franky!!!" Chopper rushed over with his medical kit. "Severe mental exhaustion! He needs mental energy supplements!"
Just as Chopper was administering nutrients to Franky, the piece of material lying in the center of the dock suddenly erupted with a golden glow as dazzling as the sun!
Under everyone's stunned gazes, the material began to wildly proliferate and deform as if it had a life of its own.
The golden luster consumed all the wooden texture, and a fluid, liquid-metal quality appeared on its surface.
One became ten, ten became a hundred, finally transforming into a full hundred pieces of miraculous metal, flowing with brilliant golden light!
"Hundredfold Critical Hit!!!"
Usopp was also shocked by the scene. One Adam Wood was enough for the keel of a pirate ship—and now they had a hundred more!
Didn't that mean other crucial parts of the ship could also be made from God-tier Adam Wood?!
Hiss…!
Just the thought was thrilling!
Just then, Franky, revived by Chopper's special medicine, slowly woke up. Seeing the hundred Adam Woods shining with brilliant golden light, he was utterly bewildered.
He weakly raised his mechanical arm: "This… this is… I'm not dreaming, am I?!"
Ron was also shocked by the triggered God-tier Modification, followed immediately by the system's tenfold return prompt in his mind!
[Detected God-tier Modification triggered!]
[Tenfold Return activated!]
[Reward: God-tier Golden Adam Wood × 10000!]
He gently waved his hand, and the system space unfolded like a scroll. A full ten thousand pieces of God-tier Golden Adam Wood descended with a roar, piling into a shining golden mountain in the dock!
The flowing metallic luster illuminated the already bright space, making it look like a city of gold, each piece of wood emitting a dazzling golden light.
"It seems…" Ron caressed one of the metal timbers, "the size of the Pluton needs to be redesigned."
Nami's eyes completely transformed into Berry symbols: "C-C-Captain, where did these come from?!"
Usopp's long nose tied itself into a spiral knot: "One piece is already precious, and now there are ten thousand?! Hiss…"
Zoro also looked at the materials with fiery eyes: "Such precious material… what if it were used to forge a sword…?"
Ron's fingertips tapped a dull echo on the God-tier Adam Wood: "Of course, it's a gift from the Devil Fruit. Though it's not gold, it's more suited to carry dreams than gold."
Then he looked at Zoro: "Good idea. Take one and try."
Zoro's eyes burned. He immediately picked up a piece of God-tier Adam Wood and set it aside, drawing a line: "This is my sword-forging material."
"…" Everyone was stunned.
Franky struggled to his feet, his hands trembling as he caressed the metal mountain: "SUPER perfect! Now even the oars can be made from God-tier material!"
He gave it a hard squeeze and found the material didn't deform!
"Interesting. Could it be that this material only deforms when it withstands an impact beyond its load…?"
"You guys try it!" Franky called out to everyone.
"I'll go!"
Zoro stepped forward first, all three of his swords drawn simultaneously.
"Oni Giri · Three Sword Style!" No Haki was infused—just direct slashes!
Three cold glints tore through the air, striking the surface of the material fiercely.
Amid the grating sound of metal impact, the Golden Adam Wood visibly dented, but the moment the blades left, the dent instantly restored itself with a poof—like memory foam—leaving not even a scratch.
"Tsk!" Zoro sheathed his swords, rubbing his chin: "Not bad, not bad. If it can withstand my attack, blocking cannonballs should be no problem!"
Luffy's rubber body instantly turned red and expanded, wisps of white steam rising all over:
"Gear Second!"
Steam-trailing fists rained down on the metal. Immediately, the surface of the material rippled like liquid metal.
As his fists sank deep into it, the Golden Adam Wood seemed to transform into a pliable water surface, dispersing the terrifying impact force layer by layer.
By the time Luffy, panting, released his transformation, the material had recovered perfectly, even reflecting his surprised expression.
"Sugoi!" Luffy clapped his hands, jumping like a monkey! "What amazing wood!"
