One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

"No! Father, you should read it yourself!" The pirate who came to report said with a strange expression, handing the newspaper to his father.

"Pfft!" Upon seeing the newspaper in his hand, he couldn't catch his breath and sprayed the wine in his mouth onto the man in front of him.

"That brat Ace is actually trying to steal the princess!"

"what!"

"The Ace brothers are stealing the princess!"

"Who has today's newspaper? Bring it here right now!"

The man who was sprayed with alcohol took a bounty poster that had fallen to the ground. He looked at the familiar straw hat in front of him and smiled happily. Then he looked at the amount of money below and spat out a mouthful of alcohol.

"Huh?! 170 million Berries!"

Mary Geoise!

"It's that pirate crew again!" A newspaper was slammed onto the table in front of him.

"We can no longer let them pretend to ignore us!"

Meanwhile, news of their sudden rise to power and defeat of the Straw Hat Pirates, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was spreading all over the world!

···

A few days later, in a leisurely town! The group who had parted ways with Ace and Sabo were resting here. Sabo needed to go to the next country, while Ace stayed in the capital to have Jordan collect intelligence and pass it on to him. After all, the intelligence-gathering ability of a country is countless times stronger than that of an individual. Mabi also tried to persuade Ace to give up and wait until later to pursue him, but he had already made up his mind and could not change it. He could only leave Ace with three healing holy waters and one trap bullet for use.

"Haha! Haha! The bounty is out!" Mabi shouted, holding up the bounty poster in her hand.

"How much! Let me see!" Luffy was the first to stretch out his arm and snatch it.

"Haha! Haha! 170 million Berries!" Luffy laughed loudly when he saw the amount on the screen.

"Zoro! Your 70 million Berries!" Maggie shouted, tossing Zoro's share over.

"Why does Zoro have it all! Why don't I have it!" Sanji turned into a gray-white stone statue and lay on the ground.

"Why am I so tall!" Nami cried out in anguish as she looked at the wanted poster in her hand. It depicted her standing on Jack's back, unleashing the Weather Cloud, and under the lightning, she looked like a goddess!

However, the label above says "Nami the Thunder Witch" with a bounty of 89 million Berries!

"Haha! Haha! I guess the image of you instantly killing two thousand people and destroying a mountain got publicized, that's why you got such a high bounty!" Maggie laughed loudly. Bounties are based on the strength shown and the degree of harm to the World Government. Luffy's bounty was raised because he defeated Crocodile, who had a bounty of 160 million! Nami's scene of instantly killing two thousand people was filmed, which is enough to show her strength. As for her true strength, nobody cares.

"I should have known better than to use this technique and let you fight! Now I'll be facing the pursuit of all the pirate hunters!" He slumped weakly on the table, a round, white pancake peeking out from his collar.

"Damn it! You destroyed several mountains, why don't you have a bounty on your head?"

"Haha! Didn't you see that Ace's price went up by 100 million? All the details of the battle were added to his head!" Maggie replied, holding up Ace's bounty poster.

"···"

That works too!

"Mia! Has your mother gone back?" Mabi turned her head and asked. She didn't expect that the middle-aged man she met before was really her mother. Because of an accident, the transvestite king Ivankov used hormones to turn her into a man, so she hadn't been able to meet her and her brother and communicate with them through letters. This time, she accompanied them all the way to see them off.

"I went back this morning! Mother and Father have to take care of my younger brother." Mia gazed in the direction of the capital, severing her last lingering thoughts. She didn't know when she would be able to return next.

"They're here! Catch them! Save the princess!"

"Let's go, everyone!" Upon seeing the local residents, they all stood up and began to flee.

Chapter 75: Basic Information about the Crew of This Book!

Arranged according to the time of boarding! I should have written about the work itself, but few of you who have collected it have revisited it!

Luffy

Captain! The Gum-Gum Fruit! His strength grows rapidly without food restrictions! (The only man who doesn't mind Maggie's cross-dressing at all!) (P.S.: This book has a second Devil Fruit!)

Zoro

A swordsman of the Three-Sword Style! Possesses weapons! Wado Ichimonji! Sandai Kitetsu! The swift sword, Sasen (a trophy from the East Blue)!

Usopp

Sniper! You can craft any bullet you want using various metals and materials! (Metals acquired during adventures can greatly enhance your sniping range!)

梅比

Actor! (Also a walking, talking warehouse) Main character of this book! Martial arts! Swordsmanship! Ranged throwing attacks! Devil Fruit user: Salty Fish Fruit! Guardian of a famous sword (not a fast sword)!

山治

Chef! His leg attacks are now enhanced with Seastone embedded in his shoes for better combat! (He's always wanted Mabe to extract the Invisibility Fruit!)

娜美

Navigator! She can easily control lightning by crafting a weather rod using small-world energy metals! (Greatly satisfies her desire for ranged attacks!)

Jack

Pets and spare food! A user of the Mythical Zoan-type White Tiger Fruit! (Often grows large enough to carry everyone at high speed!)

All non-Devil Fruit users wear Haikou stone ornaments!

This book sets Seastone as a rare item that is prohibited from being traded, but it is readily available on the black market!

Seastone is a material that can restrict Devil Fruit abilities, but whether it can actually restrict a Devil Fruit user depends on the user's abilities! After all, in a world where everyone is dodging bullets and cutting through steel, it's useless for ordinary soldiers, and it's also a rare commodity! It's difficult to mass-produce disposable items, so it's used as handcuffs and reusable tools for imprisonment after defeating enemies! For the world's powerful forces, Seastone's purpose is for restraint, not attack! Ultimately, anything that can be used to attack is considered effective!

Chapter 76 Heading to the White Sea

Chapter Seventy-Five: Heading to the White Sea

"Oh my! This is the Dam River!" The crowd, emerging from the jungle, exclaimed upon seeing the vast river, several kilometers wide. The rushing water, blocked by various strange rocks in the middle, churned up white spray, surging towards the distant, towering mountains and then soaring into the sky through a narrow channel. Locals said that the white sea in the sky was the cloud formed from the river's water after it reached its destination. (Dam means "river that reaches heaven" in the local dialect.)

"Boom!" Just as everyone was stunned, a giant ship sailing in the distance suddenly shattered into countless fragments, which were then submerged in the river and disappeared.

“I forgot to tell you that there are countless reefs and rocks hidden in the Dam River. The nautical charts that Mother gave us only show some fixed rock references on the surface. The rocks on the riverbed are constantly growing and shifting in position,” Mia explained with a smile, completely oblivious to the unpleasant expressions on the faces of the others.

"Haha! Luffy, this is too dangerous! Let's go back and buy a permanent magnet and head to the next island! Hmm, I'm the navigator, that's decided!" Nami's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, then she smiled, nodded, and turned to leave.

"Luffy! Mavis, let's go!"

"No!" Luffy said with a look of disgust and displeasure.

Like a wild beast suddenly encountering danger while foraging in the wild, Nami vanished instantly and reappeared in front of Luffy, grabbing his collar and shaking him wildly.

"You bastard! Don't you know this is dangerous!"

"Is there?"

He turned to Maggie and smiled kindly, "Maggie, you'll definitely agree with me, won't you?"

Seeing Nami's question, he bowed slightly and smiled, saying, "The lovely and charming navigator, Miss Nami, our lives are in your hands."

Upon hearing Mabi's support, Nami collapsed weakly onto the grass, muttering to herself.

"You guys just bully me, a girl!"

"You bastards! How dare you two bully Miss Nami!"

"Bang! Bang!" Seeing this, Sanji cursed and rushed over, kicking Luffy and Maple away. He then politely extended his hand towards Nami!

"Miss Nami, ignore those two bastards! Please steer the ship for us!"

Upon hearing this, Nami looked at Sanji with teary eyes!

Sanji, you've changed!

"Cloud-Dispelling Palm!" Maggie flew back and slapped away the exceptionally gentlemanly Sanji, who then stepped forward, pulled her up, put his arm around her shoulder, and laughed.

"Haha! Let's go! Don't worry, with you here, there's no river we can't cross!"

"Wow! Merry, it's been so long!" Usopp jumped up and shouted!

The others also ran up to place the items they had prepared.

"Haha! Sister Nami! We're leaving it all to you." Mia stepped forward and said with a grin.

"You only bully me! You only bully me!"

Having decided to set sail, Nami resumed her decisive style, holding a nautical chart and standing in front of the railing to observe the surrounding waters, playing the role of a navigator. The nautical chart she obtained from Mia's mother marked various protruding rocks, as well as countless hidden reefs on the riverbed, which could only be avoided by analyzing the currents.

"Mabi, Jack, you two guard the ship's side to prevent it from hitting the rocks!"

"Sanji, Zoro, take the sails! Robin, Mia, assist them!"

"Luffy, stay at the bow. If you encounter a rock, bounce the bow off!"

"Chopper, Usopp, you two take the helm!"

"Angelia, fly into the sky and report on the surrounding situation! Everyone! This journey is dangerous, so we must protect Merry!"

Seeing everyone return to their positions, Nami took a slow breath and looked at Luffy. The next step required her to concentrate fully on observation, analysis, and issuing instructions.

"Luffy!"

Upon hearing the reminder, Luffy immediately understood and knew it was time to step up as captain. He stood at the bow and shouted, "Comrades! Let's head towards the sky!"

"Head towards the sky!"

"Heading towards the sky! Set sail!"
