One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

"You bastard! How dare you say that? Give me a drink!" Nami, who was talking to Mabi, immediately became furious when she saw that it was Mabi. She grabbed Mabi and picked up a large glass of beer, placing it in front of Mabi.

"Haha!" Mabi saw her anger and immediately understood. She laughed it off. After activating her powers, she would confront anyone she saw. She must have gotten into some kind of trouble and even beat her up.

"Oh!"

"Don't laugh at me, drink it now!"

"Pfft! Haha!" The men and women in the circle burst into laughter. At first, they thought it was just some kind of fun among friends, but it was too harsh. Later, they realized what was going on. Now, they were all happy to see him being punished.

"Sanji, let me rub your wounds to ease the pain."

"Thank you, beautiful lady. Your warm little hands on my chest are like an angel descending to heal my wounds." Sanji lay on her white thighs, lost in ecstasy.

"Yo! Sanji-senpai knows how to enjoy himself." Mabi, drunk, finally left Nami's group. Mabi, who had been being forced to drink, could only continue drinking before being let go.

"Brother Sanji, do you need a loving touch?" Maggie asked in a high-pitched voice, mimicking the tone of one of the girls.

"Yeah!"

"Thank you, Sanji-nii-san!" He switched to his original voice and ran off in a flash, leaving Sanji stunned.

"You pervert! I'll kick you to death!" A voice roared in utter grief and rage. No one wants to experience the fall from heaven to hell.

"Hey! Zoro!" Maggie greeted Zoro, who was drinking at the table, and picked up a piece of grilled meat to eat.

"You pervert! I'll kill you!" Zoro was furious when he saw Mabi looking so relaxed, so he drew his sword to strike Mabi.

"Haha, I'm still injured. We'll practice again once I'm healed." Mabi laughed and casually snatched the piece of meat that flew in front of her.

"I want to chop right now." Mabi, who had beaten someone into a stupor before, was not someone one would want to chop, but now that she was awake, he drew his sword and faced Mabi directly.

"Haha! Mami, you're here! Eat meat, eat meat, I still want to fight you!" Luffy, carrying chunks of meat and bandages, hugged Mami and Zoro by the neck and laughed, which immediately calmed the tension between the two. A few drops of oil dripped directly onto their clothes.

"Welcome!"

"It's settled then!"

"Zoro! Want to have a drinking contest?"

"it is good!"

"Report! Cocoyasi Village is just ahead of Major General Andrew. Colonel Rat reports that the Straw Hat Pirates, who defeated Arlong the Fishman, are celebrating their victory there. Should we go and capture them?" A soldier in naval uniform reported to the young man standing on the deck, looking into the distance.

"No need. Our main mission is to capture the fish-men who have fled from Fishman Island and are enslaving civilians, as well as the rat colonel and his gang who are covering it up. As for defeating the Straw Hat Pirates, that's not part of our mission," the other person replied lazily, pulling down his eye mask and lying down on the prepared recliner to sleep.

"Admiral Andrew is going into hibernation again," a navy officer nearby quipped.

"Stop talking. As one of the most dazzling navies, they naturally have their own unique character. No matter how much they sleep, they are still much stronger than us."

Chapter 12 I'm a lazy bum, but I'm not a crossdresser.

"Nami, is this really okay?" Maggie asked timidly, covering her neckline.

"Haha! No problem, Mabi. These are clothes I carefully picked out for you, they suit you perfectly. If your voice could be changed to a woman's tone, it would be even better." Nami excitedly patted Mabi's shoulder and shouted, "Serves you right for offending me before."

"But you can wear them for a bit, but you don't have to throw all my clothes on the island! You only gave me a few maid outfits that are different colors but similar styles! I may be a lazy bum, but I'm not a cross-dresser!" Mabi's defense, coupled with her embarrassed and indignant expression, made Nami's heart flutter even more.

"Haha! Didn't you say you were a salted fish? Since you're so capable but don't want to use it, then I'll help you! Let you have some dreams, hehehehe!" Nami covered her mouth and chuckled as she stared at Mabi's embarrassed and indignant expression.

"Miss Nami, this is a love drink I made for you, please enjoy!" Sanji, his eyes full of hearts, spun around and came running up to fawn over her.

"Thank you, Sanji!" Nami replied with a smile.

"Sanji, I want one too!" Maggie shouted from the side.

"You perverted freak who loves wearing maid outfits, no more drinks for you." Sanji's face darkened as he coldly addressed Maggie.

"Really? Sanji-nii-san, but I want to drink too!" Maggie picked up a book and placed her hands under her neck, looking pitiful and timid.

"Hi! Miss Mabi! I'll make it for you right away!" Just a moment ago she had a cold expression, but now her eyes are sparkling with hearts as she heads to the kitchen to make a drink.

"Pfft! Cough cough!"

"Mabi! You!" Nami coughed to catch her breath and pointed at Mabi in surprise.

"The Salty Fish Fruit's power, one of its skills, is 'Salted Fish Must Do It'! It allows me to influence the thoughts and senses of living beings through their surroundings, clothing, human movements, language, and writing, making them believe it's real and accurately execute my words. After all, salted fish are always ignored, so whatever a salted fish does, they think it's their duty," Maggie explained. Although the Salty Fish Fruit doesn't bring any physical changes, the salted fish mental power that Maggie developed is quite impressive. It can be used for anything related to a salted fish's life, such as a salted fish thrust, a salted fish duel, a salted fish jumping into the sea, or something like "You are a salted fish."

"Won't they notice if the ability is removed?" Nami's eyes lit up after hearing the explanation. This way, people would willingly hand over their money without having to search for it.

"Oh! My Devil Fruit ability's passive ability can make people forget my existence. When combined, it's enough to make them do things for me while forgetting my existence. Even if they realize it, they won't know who they helped and then it's over. Unless I take the initiative to remove the Devil Fruit's influence from the target."

"Wow! Mabi has a task for you!" Nami's eyes shone brightly with Beelzebub, and she shoved Mabi's shoulder.

"What is it!" Mabi replied, her body trembling as she suddenly felt a bad premonition.

"Wear this outfit and pretend to be a maid to help me swindle money from those pirates! You get two, I get eight!" Nami said with gleaming eyes and sharp teeth.

"No, this is a crossdresser..."

"Hmm?" The sky suddenly darkened, leaving only a pair of cold eyes.

"Haha! I think this outfit looks great. It's perfect for fooling those wicked men who bully women." Mabi straightened her skirt and adjusted her hem, speaking with a serious expression. (So comfortable!)

I feel like there's a sound somewhere that I really enjoy.

Ugh! Mabi shivered and wanted to change out of her clothes. She wanted to borrow a set from them, but they all said no, which was a pain in the ass.

"Miss Mabi, this is your love drink," Sanji said solicitously as he ran up to her after preparing the beverage.

"Thank you!"

"Damn it!" Sanji, whose Devil Fruit powers had been neutralized by Maple, immediately flew into a rage.

"Brother Sanji, what should I do if my skirt is torn?" Maggie pulled up her skirt, revealing white stockings underneath, and blushed as she continued to use her Devil Fruit powers.

"Pfft!" Nami covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.

"Me!" The intense visual impact finally caused Sanji to bleed profusely from his nose and collapse onto the deck.

"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter, Mabi is indeed a great actress!" Luffy, who was watching this, clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.

"I want to kill him!" Zoro uttered a few words through trembling teeth.

"I'm so scared that Maggie might really turn into a woman. Kaya will kill me." Usopp squatted in the corner, trembling.

"Whoa! I spotted a small boat floating nearby!" Luffy, lying on the bow of the boat, noticed a small boat in the distance and shouted, reaching out to pull the boat closer.

"It's just a little girl. Aren't you afraid of being eaten by fish while drifting on the sea all by yourself?" The group of people observed her after they pulled her out of the water and placed her on the deck.

"The fish didn't look very appetizing with such a small body, so we didn't eat it."

"Make way, everyone. How can you bear to let such a small child lie on the deck? I'll carry her to my room to sleep," Nami said, pushing through the crowd.

"Oh, oh, oh," came the three voices in unison as they made way.

The Merry continued its voyage across the sea toward its destination, Loguetown.

"Aaaaah!" A noisy commotion erupted as Sanji and Mavis's brawl resumed. Someone kicked Zoro as they passed by, pulling him into the fray and dragging Luffy and Usopp along with them for the chaotic melee.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

"That's enough, all of you shut up! The patient is still sleeping inside." Nami, who came out of the bedroom, immediately punched each of them without hesitation, and they all knelt down in a row, their heads covered in huge turbans, in a gesture of worship.

"Yes!"

"Boom!" Water splashed everywhere, soaking the clothes of the four people.

"Prepare for battle!" The sudden turn of events immediately spurred everyone back to their posts.

"Those are Eric's men! They're here to capture me. If you hand me over to him, you can escape the siege of artillery fire!" The rescued blonde girl, who had somehow regained her senses, ran to the door and shouted.

"Haha!" Luffy and the others laughed. They believed that if they had saved someone, they should send them away, unless she was willing to leave.

"Little sister, don't be afraid. We won't send you away. We're here to take care of them," Mabi said, crouching down to comfort her.

"Really? Big sister!" the little girl asked, rubbing her eyes. A petrel perched on her shoulder and chirped.

"it is true."

"Oh no, big sister, can you change direction? A storm is coming!" The little girl's face changed color and she said anxiously after hearing the birds' language.

"Mabi, hurry up and turn the rudder." Nami, who was also nearby, heard this and sensed the change in the air. She instructed Mabi beside her. At this point, they could no longer rely on the four people fighting in the distance; they had to send Mabi to move.

"Okay! No problem, watch me." Maggie lifted the hem of her skirt and hurriedly stepped forward to take the helm.

As soon as the direction was corrected, the sails billowed and it shot off like an arrow.

"Oh ho!" The group of people who were relieved to have escaped the storm celebrated.

"Abis! I didn't expect you to be such an excellent navigator, able to predict storms in advance," Nami praised her from her side.

“No, I’m a Devil Fruit user. These seabirds told me that,” Apis said, pointing to the seabirds on her body.

Chapter 13 Pirates from the Grand Line

At dawn, the Merry rested quietly on the sea, while the cries of seagulls soaring under the blue sky heralded the arrival of a new day.

"Boom!" The people who were still fast asleep were suddenly awakened and ran out of the cabin to find the source of the sound.

"What happened to Mabi?" As the Night Watchman, Mabi was naturally the first person everyone asked upon waking up.

“Isn’t Mabi resting in the cabin?” Zoro replied.

"It's the kitchen!" Sanji shouted as he saw the smoking kitchen and rushed over.

"Abis!"

Only then did everyone realize that the little girl with a dark complexion was none other than Apis, whom they had rescued the day before.

"To thank everyone, I'll treat you all to breakfast." Apis, whose face was covered in tanned skin, smiled as she saw the crowd gathered around her.

"Thank you!" "You're welcome!" Seeing this, Sanji stepped forward to help serve the food she had made and placed it in front of everyone.

Looking at the dark, purplish-black lump in front of me, a question popped into my head: Can this thing be eaten?

"Abis, what is this?" Usopp asked, picking up a piece of black substance with his fork.

"Fried eggs! I saw that Sister Mabi's fried eggs were delicious, so I made some for you all." Apis said happily. She was thinking of getting up early to cook for everyone, but she didn't expect that Sister Mabi, who had just finished her night shift, would be making breakfast and she would eat a serving herself. The soft, sweet, and fragrant egg yolks were unforgettable, so she learned from her skills and helped make breakfast.
