[Description: A human woman who refuses to reveal her age, possessing attributes that far exceed the human records within Pokémon data. However, since she refuses all scans and the Poké Ball lacks corresponding species data, a full stat display is impossible.]
[Status: ? (Awaiting Consent)]
[Additional Note: During the conversion process, the subject displayed strong self-destructive resistance. Negotiations with the Poké Ball matched this resistance, preventing forced contract completion. Though already classified as a Pokémon-type entity, the severe data loss makes evolution impossible.]
Ren hadn't expected this outcome when he obtained the BUG Poké Ball.
So-called "100% capture" apparently meant literally grabbing the target and forcibly turning them into a Pokémon, trapping them inside the ball.
A Pokémon contract was a life-bond formed under threat—obey, or die.
Only after that could a master–servant contract be established. And without proper data measurement, no evolutionary path could even be deduced.
"This thing's a total mess."
Ren couldn't help but complain aloud but still continued to examine the source of this bizarre situation.
[Pokémon: Stussy requests negotiation!]
**[Content: You may become my master. After all, serving you is no different from serving the World Government. For an artificial human, every moment of existence is precious—and equally meaningless.
There is, however, one bottom line: I will not take any action that harms my creator. You know him—the world's greatest scientist in eight hundred years: Dr. Vegapunk!
Also, as a cyborg, I demand a fixed number of holidays each year to enjoy the beauty of this world that was never meant for me. At least seven days annually. I've studied you; that shouldn't be a problem.
If you agree to these two conditions, the being known as Stussy will become your tool, your slave, or whatever you wish.]**
"Cyborg, huh? And her creator is Vegapunk… Just how insane is One Piece technology supposed to be?"
Ren frowned in thought as he read through the negotiation terms.
First, it was important to clarify something—Ren only knew the One Piece story up to Egghead Island, and even then, only partially.
Everything beyond the first half of Wano, including Egghead and later arcs, came from snippets he'd seen in fan summaries and social media posts.
He couldn't be sure what was canon. For instance, he'd seen some fan theories about Zoan Devil Fruit awakenings involving nonsense like singing or rubber-band bindings—utterly absurd, yet somehow plausible given how ridiculous One Piece could be.
Still, Ren treated these memories cautiously.
That said, Stussy's terms really weren't an issue for him.
If he could get close to Vegapunk, recruiting him would be far more valuable than killing him.
And by all accounts, Vegapunk was a fundamentally good person—building technology for the survival of his homeland's people, all while pushing the limits of science.
Weighing his options, Ren decided to accept.
The Pokémon contract activated and moved to the next stage.

[Pokémon Name: Stussy]
[Type: Cyborg]
[Ability: Super Potential Human]
[Height: 179 cm]
[Weight: 62 kg]
[Age: Confidential]
[Strength: B– (Full Power)]
[Agility: B+ (Full Power)]
[Constitution: B (Full Power)]
[Trait: Cyborg – Vampire]
[Status: Bonded (Master: Ren)]
[Possible Evolution: Seraphim]
[Requirements: Seraphim Remnant x1 / Seraphim Construction Data + matching high-grade materials]
[Trait: Cyborg – Vampire]
[Type: Passive Ability]
[Description: As stated by the subject herself, this ability is the result of Vegapunk's research.The being called "Stussy" was created as a prototype within the broader Cyborg Human project. Constructed from cloned human embryos derived from the cells of a Rocks Pirates member, she was augmented with cutting-edge technology throughout her growth. She possesses enhanced longevity, Zoan-like resilience, and flight capability. When entering this form, Stussy attains her "Full Power" state.]
Though the process had been a little convoluted, Ren ultimately obtained a Pokémon named Stussy.
"Her base stats are all B-tier?"
Ren studied Stussy's stat panel carefully. "If I'd fought her myself earlier, I might've lost…She's got combat experience, doesn't rely on a Devil Fruit, and can't be tricked with Seastone traps.
Most importantly, my own stats are only B-tier right now."
Indeed—Ren currently stood at Triple B level.
Of course, not in base form, but when using his Dual-Template Fusion State.
It had been one or two weeks since he'd left Alabasta and reached Skypiea—barely enough time for major growth under normal circumstances.
But environment changes everything.
Humans are astonishingly adaptive creatures; hardship and pressure raise one's physical ceiling.
Take Nami, for example—by the time of Wano, she could use Soru-level speed. Her progress reflected the Straw Hats' extreme adventures and the brutal environments that tempered them.
That pattern applied across the board: adversity forced growth.
It wasn't strange at all. Training, at its core, is the act of overloading the body until it evolves stronger muscles, bones, and systems.
After surviving Skypiea's harsh climate and oxygen scarcity, Ren's body had endured heavy strain—and grew stronger because of it.
Once he returned to the Blue Sea, he felt almost weightless.
At barely twenty years old, still in his physical prime and continuously refining his Haki and Qi, Ren's constant training had pushed his body into a new realm.
[Name: Ren]
[Age: 19]
[Race: Human]
[Innate Gifts: Single Tomoe Sharingan / Sword Heart / Spider-Sense / Haki]
[Strength: D+]
[Agility: D–]
[Constitution: D+]
[Luck: ?]
[Charm: D]
[Traits: Wanderer Beyond Worlds / Rider of Fate's Tide / Breathing Regeneration / Haki / Qi]
Compared to before, his stats had changed dramatically.
A D-tier physique corresponded roughly to pirates with bounties around ten million Beli—people like Arlong or the weaker Grand Line captains.
Naturally, that wasn't his limit.
When entering his Fusion Template State, his power skyrocketed.
His two main templates were the First Calabash Brother and the Third Calabash Brother, both specializing in physical might.
These high-grade templates scaled with Ren's base growth, increasing multiplicatively as his own body improved.
Back on Alabasta's Darwin Island, his boosted template stats were around:
[Strength: D] [Agility: D] [Constitution: D++]
Now, with his growth, Haki reinforcement, and breathing techniques, the First Calabash Brother form yielded:
[Strength: C++] [Agility: C+] [Constitution: C++]
Each grade jump wasn't linear—From D to C was roughly a threefold increase, and every "+" sign doubled that again.
Thus, his current strength was about eleven times what it had been.
His agility was roughly seven times, and constitution nine times stronger.
When combining both templates through the Potara-like Fusion Earrings, their best traits merged into one perfect state.
The Third Calabash Brother's attributes—also boosted by Haki and breathing—matched his other form at:
[Strength: C++] [Agility: C+] [Constitution: C++]
Fully fused, the results became:
[Strength: B] [Agility: B] [Constitution: B]
That was the Triple B—the level Ren stood at now.
For reference, this tier equaled pirates worth hundreds of millions—comparable to a weaker Vice Admiral like Smoker two years after the time skip.
It was that confidence—his raw power—that allowed Ren to stand against Vice Admiral Onigumo.
Trump cards could fail; raw strength never betrayed you.
"Speaking of which," Ren muttered, tapping the Poké Ball, "Onigumo's about B++… and Stussy, soft and elegant as she looks, is B-tier too?"
He pondered the implications.
"If that's true, then Doflamingo must be at least A-tier. And the 'Seraphim' mentioned here—those are upgraded Pacifistas, said to rival even the weaker Yonko.
If Stussy can evolve into that… she'll be a powerful ally indeed."
Smiling faintly, Ren pocketed the Poké Ball.
Leaving the ruins of Mock Town, he didn't release Stussy right away.
He wanted to observe first—to decide how to treat her.
For now, he'd scout the nearby region and check on the locals rescued by the Saruyama Alliance.
