June 16, 1517: After discussing with Franky, you increasingly realize that with current scientific technology, your design plan is completely feasible. You are fully capable of creating a set of Iron Man Suits with cola and niproyn elements as the energy core. It just requires a lot of research time and a large amount of money, both of which you have in abundance. Haha, Tony Stark probably wouldn't believe that his proud Arc Reactor would be replaced by a bottle of cola that costs three yuan.
June 17, 1517: You gathered the members of the Pineapple Pirates and announced your decision: you and Franky would temporarily stay in Water 7 to conduct research, while the others would continue sailing with Vice-Captain Ace, reassembling at Sabaody Archipelago two years later. Although the others were surprised, they respected your decision.
June 19, 1517: Franky took out the Pluton blueprints hidden inside his body, and Robin translated the ancient text on them for you. This was indeed a blueprint for an extremely massive warship. If possible, you would try to build it; perhaps this would be the next flagship of the Pineapple Pirates.
June 21, 1517: You asked Franky to help contact Iceberg, the mayor of Water 7 and the owner of Galley-La Company. You would be responsible for improving Galley-La Company's shipbuilding blueprints, but you demanded a 15% profit share. Iceberg was initially dismissive, but after seeing your improvement plan, he immediately agreed.
June 27, 1517: You spent 7 days improving all the shipbuilding blueprints and then handed them over to Iceberg. It's not that you couldn't demand a larger profit share, but this is a long-term revenue process, and 15% is already a huge sum. You understand the principle of 'too much is as bad as too little.' Besides, you don't have time to personally manage and develop a shipbuilding company to compete with Galley-La Company.
June - October 1517: With Franky's help, you created the first generation of Iron Man Suits with cola as the energy core, naming it pineapple One. It must be said that Franky is an excellent research assistant, at least better than Tony Stark's Dr. Yinsen. Not only does he have a strong understanding and can offer many targeted suggestions, but his practical skills are also top-notch. When you're tired, you can even have his twin sisters, Kiwi and Mozu, perform a hands-together dance to relieve stress. Fantastic!
You were quite satisfied with the final product of pineapple One. The suit's back and feet were equipped with Skypiea's Wind Dials and cola thrusters, and both arms also had two smaller jet engines. Finally, you focused on the stable flight system. After completing the first test flight in Water 7, you could proudly announce: you can now fly.
After creating pineapple One, you flew in the Iron Man Suit to the nearby Marine Base G-8 Fortress, where Marineford Vice Admiral Jonathan was stationed. The final test results made you very satisfied. After using Conqueror's Haki to knock out the Marine guards, you began to fight Jonathan. Using the Iron Man Suit combined with your swordsmanship and occasional long-range cannon attacks, you were able to fight him to a standstill. Unbeknownst to yourself, you had also become a strong contender on the seas.
After testing, pineapple One had average endurance and the armor was too heavy, but its corresponding defensive capabilities were very strong. It could at least withstand a full-power blow from a quasi-Admiral-level strong contender, and it could greatly increase your wrist strength and sword drawing speed. The only regret was the lack of an intelligent A.I. like Jarvis, which led to a decrease in combat effectiveness. If only there was a ship spirit.
On another note, you read in the newspaper that Ace, leading the Pineapple Pirates, had already passed Moria's Thriller Bark. You didn't know the outcome, but two more people had joined the Pineapple Pirates: Gecko Moria and Ghost Princess Perona. You also didn't know how Ace managed it. What infuriated you most was that some people suspected the captain of the Pineapple Pirates was Marco, because the hairstyle and the pineapple on the flag were too similar.
Late October: Roger suddenly told you that he recalled a sword technique he often used, which you might find useful. This technique was called God Avoidance and required extremely refined swordsmanship. Only by using his personal sword, Ace, could its true power be unleashed. However, you weren't foolish; this personal sword was too conspicuous, and you wouldn't use it unless in special circumstances.
November 1517 - February 1518: In addition to conducting various research, you were also a master of time management. Because you had clear goals, no matter how busy you were, you would always make time for Armament Haki and swordsmanship training. During this period, you visited G-8 Fortress almost every night. Later, the regular soldiers of G-8 Fortress simply stopped coming out, watching you and Jonathan fight from a distance, since you never killed anyone. This high-intensity combat was also very effective. One day in late February, your swordsmanship underwent a complete transformation, and you finally learned God Avoidance. When you cleanly defeated Jonathan with a single sword slash, even you were shocked. You gained the skill: God Avoidance (Beginner), You gained the skill: Basic Swordsmanship (Advanced).
March 1518: History seemed to have been changed by you again. During this time, CP9's activities were noticeably more active. They seemed to have discovered that the Pluton blueprints might not be with Iceberg, so they planned to assassinate him to find the whereabouts of the design plans. Your guess was indeed correct. When they made their move, you arrived in the Iron Man Suit and defeated CP9 single-handedly. Only defeating Lucci at the end took some effort, almost preventing an instant kill. Afterwards, facing the 'Photo King' reporter who rushed over for an interview, you really wanted to lift your mask and say, "I am Iron Man."
Late May 1518: After long preparations, you began to prepare for the construction of the ancient weapon Pluton. Iceberg also agreed to assist you. This would be a massive project, requiring countless shipwrights and two years of construction, costing an immeasurable amount of money, but you knew it would definitely be worth it.
June 1518 - December 1518: With Franky's help, you upgraded pineapple One twice. In addition to strengthening its endurance and defense, your pineapple Three also had a coating of Seastone on the outside of the suit, which could more effectively target Devil Fruit users. If all goes as expected, pineapple Three will be your last suit for the near future.
Besides upgrading the suit, you also purchased some Devil Fruits to conduct research on Devil Fruit factors. By the end of December, you attempted to create a semi-finished artificial devil fruit, unsure of its effects.
What made you very pleased was that over the past year, your companions had also grown significantly. Ace rejected the position of a Warlord of the Sea and led the Pineapple Pirates into the New World. His strength improved further after returning from Wano Country. After visiting Shanks, he still challenged Whitebeard according to the original timeline. Although he was still defeated, he earned Whitebeard's praise, who said he saw the shadow of Kozuki Oden in him. On a recent bounty poster, Ace's bounty had reached 800 million Berries, undoubtedly much stronger than in the original timeline.
