Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 199 The Rumble-Rumble Fruit! (Combined Chapters 3 and 4)

The sky was a clear, deep blue, with fluffy white clouds scattered in twos and threes, like cotton candy dotting the sky.

Thousands of meters in the air, a strange formation was drifting slowly towards the ocean below.

Upon closer inspection, this bizarre combination turned out to be nothing other than a ship and a giant octopus.

The giant octopus clung to the boat, its body bulging like a hot air balloon.

In fact, it does now function as a hot air balloon; otherwise, it and the ship would have already plummeted into the ocean under the influence of gravity.

"It's so slow. This speed feels even slower than when we went up. I wonder when we'll be able to get back to the sea."

Nami leaned on the railing, looking down at the still indistinct ocean below, and sighed in boredom.

"After all, it's thousands of meters in the air. If the descent speed is fast, it might become unstable."

Robin reclined gracefully on the beach chair, reading a book as he casually remarked.

"Unstable? Hmm..."

""

Upon hearing Robin's answer, Nami instantly conjured up a terrifying image of the ship capsizing high in the sky, with everyone screaming as they plummeted into the ocean. She shuddered and shook her head repeatedly, "Yes, yes, slower is better, slower is better."

After saying that, her mind raced as she looked up at the sky, where the Sky Island was no longer visible, and said with deep emotion, "I never imagined that this trip to the Sky Island would yield so many gains. Not only did I get so much gold, but I also got that thing."

As she finished speaking, she glanced at a spot almost unconsciously.

"Yes, this is a top-tier treasure that would cause countless people to fight tooth and nail for it on the high seas. We've really been very lucky this time."

Robin finally looked up from her book and, like Nami, glanced in the same direction, unable to help but feel a little sentimental.

Several days ago, on the day Wukong and his friends found the Golden Bell.

That evening, when only the crew members remained in their room, Nami suddenly and strangely locked the door, closed the window, and covered everything with curtains, leaving the others completely bewildered.

"Nami, it'll be stuffy if you close the window," Goku said, pointing to the closed window, puzzled.

Sanji and Robin didn't understand what Nami was trying to do, but they could tell that Nami had some secret to tell them, so they remained silent.

"Shh! Don't talk yet, let me finish first." Nami put her index finger to her lips.

Then she looked at Wukong and said, "What I'm about to say is a secret, and I can't tell anyone else but us. That's why I'm closing the window. Just bear with it for now; it won't kill you to keep it in such a short time."

Wukong blinked and remained silent.

Nami nodded in satisfaction, then picked up a backpack from a secluded corner of the room, walked in front of everyone, and her eyes revealed undisguised excitement.

"Everyone, I found something incredible today."

To prevent others from overhearing, she spoke softly, though she was excited.

"Found something? Is it something delicious?" The gluttonous Goku immediately thought of food, slurped his saliva, and stared at the thing in Nami's hand with bright eyes.

"Idiot! How could it be food!"

Nami's forehead vein throbbed, and she subconsciously raised her voice slightly.

"What, what is that?" Wukong scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

Nami's gaze swept across everyone's faces, and she decided not to keep them in suspense any longer. So she unzipped her backpack, revealing what was inside.

"Look, this is it."

Sanji and Robin looked down and saw a golden, strange fruit with spiral patterns on its surface lying quietly in their backpack.

"What is this?!" Robin's pupils contracted, and she instantly recognized it as a Devil Fruit.

Sanji, having never seen a Devil Fruit in real life, paused for a few seconds before uncertainly asking, based on descriptions, "Could this be—"

Before he could finish speaking, Wukong, who was too short to see the contents of the bag, jumped onto his shoulder, interrupting him.

"Let me see! Let me see!"

Goku's two short legs were draped over Sanji's shoulders, his hands gripping Sanji's hair for stability, as he curiously peered into the bag.

Upon seeing what was in the bag, he exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Nami and said strangely, "Nami, isn't this just a piece of fruit? You still say it's not something to eat."

"This..." Nami was speechless. It wasn't impossible to say that it was edible, since Devil Fruits really can be eaten.

But who would eat this thing just because it's edible? I've heard it smells worse than shit.

Those who eat it have only one purpose: to obtain the special abilities it contains.

So rather than calling it something to eat, it's more accurate to say it's something to use.

That's why she subconsciously argued that Wukong wasn't edible.

While Nami was speechless, Goku stopped looking at her and shifted his gaze to the Devil Fruit, his eyes gleaming with a gluttonous light.

This golden fruit looks delicious! I'll take a bite and try it! Nami shouldn't be angry, hehe.

With this in mind, Goku flipped off Sanji's shoulder and, in the process of falling, swiftly grabbed the Devil Fruit from Nami's bag.

After landing on the ground, he opened his mouth wide, as if to bite it.

"Wait! Wukong!"

Everyone was shocked, especially Nami, who hadn't expected Goku to take the Devil Fruit so quickly.

Unexpectedly, Wukong wanted to eat it without any regard for the consequences, and the creature turned pale with fright.

"Wow?"

Pupu scratched its head, somewhat confused by everyone's reactions, because it, like Wukong, thought it was just an ordinary fruit.

"Goku, that's a Devil Fruit, don't eat it yet!" Robin, who reacted the fastest, said urgently.

Like the shocked Nami and Sanji, she didn't want Goku to eat a Devil Fruit, but rather she didn't want him to eat one without knowing why.

After all, eating a Devil Fruit has the side effect of making it impossible to swim, and Goku is someone who loves swimming. If Goku finds that he can no longer swim after eating it, he might regret it.

Click click click click!!

It sounded like the sound of brakes.

Upon hearing Robin's words, Goku, who was opening his mouth wide to bite the Devil Fruit, abruptly stopped himself from biting down on it in a way that defied common sense, his teeth just a millimeter away from touching the fruit.

The forced shove made his jaw cramp, but he ignored the soreness. He released the Devil Fruit from his grasp, leaping back a short distance. His eyes wide with terror, he pointed at the fallen Devil Fruit and stammered, "W-w-this is a Devil Fruit?! A Devil Fruit that makes you unable to swim?!"

He had never seen a Devil Fruit, but he had heard about it from the crane. It was a terrible thing that would turn someone who ate it into a landlubber.

Although it could grant people all sorts of strange abilities, he had absolutely no interest in them because they would prevent him from swimming again.

The thought that he had almost lost his swimming skills filled him with lingering fear, and he was drenched in cold sweat.

Whew! That was close! That really scared me to death. Why didn't Nami say it was a Devil Fruit sooner?

He patted his chest, silently cursing Nami in his heart, completely forgetting that it was all his own fault for being greedy, and he had no one else to blame.

Upon seeing Goku's reaction, Robin, Nami, and Sanji exchanged glances, each seeing relief in the other's eyes.

Sure enough, they knew that swimming held a very important place in Wukong's heart. Fortunately, they stopped him, otherwise Wukong would have regretted it later.

"That's right! This is a Devil Fruit, and it's said to be worth 100 million Berries on the market!"

After picking the Devil Fruit up from the ground, Nami carefully patted off the dust and said excitedly.

During the day, when she discovered the Devil Fruit that had fallen from the sky, she was so shocked that she almost jumped up.

She had always wanted to collect 100 million Berries of Treasure, and at one point she set her sights on Devil Fruits, because if she obtained one, she could immediately achieve her goal.

However, no matter how much she inquired or searched, she never heard of any Devil Fruits appearing in the East Blue, so in the end she had no choice but to give up and stop focusing her energy on them.

However, unexpectedly, now that she no longer has to worry about 100 million Berries, she encountered a Devil Fruit hitting her on the head, and there was no one around. It can be said that this Devil Fruit was a gift from God.

Overjoyed to receive this gift from heaven, she then carefully hid it away.

Although she believed that the people here wouldn't harbor any ill intentions after seeing them obtain a Devil Fruit, she decided to avoid trouble and keep it a secret from anyone other than her companions.

"No, if I'm not mistaken, Miss Navigator, the Devil Fruit in your hand is worth far more than 100 million Berries."

At this moment, Robin, who was staring intently at the Devil Fruit, said quietly.

"What? More than 100 million Berries?!"

Nami gasped in surprise, then, realizing something, quickly covered her mouth, glanced around furtively, and whispered, "Robin, what do you mean by saying it's more than 100 million Berries? Does that mean Devil Fruits have varying prices?"

She really didn't know anything about this. She had always thought that Devil Fruits could only be sold for a maximum of 100 million, since 100 million was already an incredible price.

"Hmm." Robin nodded slightly, not bringing up the price of Devil Fruits first, but instead bringing up another topic.

"You should know that there are different kinds of Devil Fruits, right?"

type?

Nami and Sanji frowned, seemingly having heard of it before. Ace, whom they had met before, seemed to have mentioned that he was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, as did Crocodile.

"I think I heard Grandma Tsuru mention it, but I can't remember. Oh right, I know there's a type called Logia. Enel, whom I fought before, ate one of those, as did Kushner and Ace."

Wukong blinked, thought for a moment, and then, touching his fingers, recounted the details as if they were his own treasures.

Grandma Crane?

Robin was taken aback; he felt like he'd heard that name somewhere before.

But she didn't have time to think about it carefully at the moment, and she affirmed Wukong's statement.

"That's right. Logia type is one type of Devil Fruit. There are two other major types: Paramecia type and Zoan type. My Hana Hana no Mi (Flower Flower Fruit) belongs to the Paramecia type."

Seeing that everyone seemed to be deep in thought, Robin paused for a moment before finally bringing the topic back to the price of Devil Fruits.

"Among these three categories of Devil Fruits, Paramecia-type fruits are the cheapest because their abilities are generally average, usually around 100 million Berries."

"The Zoan type generally fetches higher prices, mostly around 200 million, while mythical and ancient species can sell for far more than that, at least 500 million."

As Robin finished speaking, Nami swallowed hard, her mouth dry. "Then, Robin, you said this Devil Fruit cost more than a hundred million, could it be a Zoan type? Or even some Mythical Zoan Ancient Zoan?"

She suddenly felt countless pesos floating before her eyes, her nose filled with the smell of money, and her body became hot.

Although she had already received a lot of gold from the Shandians, who would complain about not having enough money? If she really got 500 million for no reason, she would definitely wake up laughing at night, and she would wake up laughing for many days in a row!

She looked at Robin with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, but Robin shook his head.

In an instant, her fiery and restless heart seemed to be doused with a bucket of cold water, becoming incredibly cold.

But before she could recover, Robin dropped a bombshell that left her speechless, and her body suddenly felt hot again.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Devil Fruit isn't a Zoan-type, but rather a Logia-type, which is the most valuable of the three categories of Devil Fruits. Each one is worth at least one billion Berries at auction."

Ten billion peles?!

Nami's eyes widened, and she was completely dumbfounded.

Sanji was stunned, and the cigarette he was holding fell out of his mouth.

Although Goku knew that 1 billion Berries was a lot of money, he didn't react much because he had never been interested in money. He just kept muttering to himself about how much delicious food he could buy with that much money.

Pupu nodded in agreement, wanting to help her master calculate, but because she didn't know much about prices, she couldn't figure it out even after a long time.

But Robin's bombshell wasn't over yet.

She observed everyone's reactions, finally fixing her gaze on Nami's face, and slowly said, "A hundred billion is the price of an ordinary Logia-type Devil Fruit, but the Devil Fruit in your hand is no ordinary Logia-type. According to the Devil Fruit encyclopedia I've seen before, it should be a legendary invincible fruit—the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."

Rumble-Rumble Fruit?!

Nami was stunned.

"The value of this fruit is hard to estimate. If it were auctioned, I think it could fetch at least two billion berries."

boom!!!

Robin's words were like a thunderclap, leaving Nami's head buzzing.

"Two, two billion..." she murmured absentmindedly.

Good heavens! That's a huge sum of money!

Aside from the gold in Golden Township, this was the largest sum of money she had ever heard of in her life, and this money came solely from the small fruit in her hand!

She... she actually found two billion Berries?!

However, she didn't know that 2 billion was just a conservative estimate from Robin. In Robin's opinion, this Devil Fruit would probably fetch a super astronomical price of 3 billion if it were placed in the New World of the Grand Line.

After all, obtaining it grants one godlike power of lightning. An ordinary person, unarmed and vulnerable, could instantly rise to become a renowned and powerful figure in the ocean after consuming it.

What if it were given to those who are already quite strong?

It is likely that this could create a top-tier powerhouse who is no weaker than the Four Emperors.

A Devil Fruit with such an ability would be worth any exorbitant price.

This navigator lady is truly blessed by heaven.

Robin sighed inwardly.
