Weapon Name: Modular Prosthetic Connection Port
Description: The MPCP is a unit that has been fitted to Carver Bruce's left forearm, which was hacked off just below the elbow by a gang of violent pirates some years back. As Carver is a half-giant hybrid of a man as big as Whitebeard this platform is of course also quite large. The platform is a very squat cylinder, half as thick as it is wide, with a multi-purpose connection link in the centre of it and several other ports and connections and units that surround this. The base unit has four slots around its side which are used to load ammunition cartridges, voltaic cells or other mechanical gadgets that interact with the particular unit fitted onto the MPCP, and has an interchange system so once one of the cartridges or units is expended an internal mechanism rotates to draw from the next cartridge. Because the MPCP acts as a simple base and interface for individual arm attachments, Carver has himself a powerful tool with endless opportunity for expansion and improvement as new attachments are constructed.
Weapon Abilities: The MPCP has a variety of arm-fittings that Carver uses for any number of activities. The attachments are constructed of high-grade steel. These are listed below:
Grip Armament: This attachment is a rudimentary prosthetic hand, and was the first attachment built. It allows for holding of objects, but doesn't have fine motor control, lacking the ability to manipulate or hold small objects except in the most clumsy of ways.
Spin Armament: This armament is a basic gatling gun, converted for prosthetic use. As it is a basic model gatling gun with only necessary changes for firing, it has a 500 rpm capability, with 500 round chains able to be loaded into the ammunition slots of the MPCP.
Blast Armament: This attachment is three cut down hand cannons mounted onto a single platform, allowing Carver to fire three powerful explosive shells one at a time.
Scatter Armament: This attachment consists of four pared-down shotgun barrels, which creates a wide spray of shot. Because of the wide spray it is useful for hitting covering a lot of foes, but has a short range. All four barrels can fire at once, or in succession. Each of the barrels is fed by its own individual cartridge, which holds enough lead shot for 6 firings.
Mile Armament: This armament has a single powerful large-calibre rifle as its weapon, as well as a scope on top that has automatic adjustments thanks to the devices in the MPCP. Carver uses this by aiming down his arm and through the scope, and has to reload the rifle with a bolt-action mechanism, as it only holds a single shot at a time. Each of the four cartridges can hold 3 of the very large rifle shells. Given the size of Carver and of the rifle, the range on this attachment is enormous for weapons of the One Piece world.
Smoke Armament: This attachment is a gas dispender, sporting several nozzles for close-range spraying of dense smoke, tear gas or sleeping gas, and a single launcher unit to fire gas grenades. Each cartridge holds a single grenade as well as a canister of gas to fuel the nozzles, and Carver can mix and match the grenades and canisters. He can even use poison gas if he so chooses, but has never used this in such a way.
Pierce Armament: This attachment is a large and vicious-looking harpoon in a launcher, with enough chain to fly 35 meters. Carver is able to retract the chain to draw things in or grapple onto larger objects that his harpoon has sunk into. The harpoon has retractable barbs for solid grip and easy release of objects.
Strike Armament: The final attachment is simply a large blockbuster chunk of metal, designed with a battering ram tip. This is used for brute-force melee attacks, demolishing walls and punching holes through things.
