The Great Voyage: I Became Nami's Brother at the Start

Luffy, realizing what was happening, started screaming.

"How dare you ask! I should be asking you what happened!! Who told you to steal that! That wasn't for you..."

Shanks was so angry his eyes almost popped out.

Seems to be……

I'm late!

Norton watched this scene awkwardly, then waved and said, "Yo! Shanks's here! Long time no see! Looks like Luffy's giving you a headache again!"

"Norton!"

After glancing at him, the crowd resumed their attack on Luffy, tearing him apart.

"You idiot! You ate a Devil Fruit called the Gum-Gum Fruit! After eating it, you'll be cursed by the ocean and can never swim again! You moron!!!!"

"Eh!!!!!! You're kidding me!"

Shanks roared as he tore at Luffy's mouth, splitting it wide open.

In the end, Shanks and his crew simply gave up.

Yasopp and Lucky Roux, one grabbing Luffy's arm and the other his legs, stretched him out so that Nami and Nojiko could use him as a jump rope...

"Your little sister is very cute."

"That's what I think too."

Shanks and Norton sat to the side, watching with smiles on their faces.

"We might be leaving tomorrow, and we probably won't have the chance to meet again. Kid, have you thought about what you're going to do next?" Shanks suddenly steered the conversation to the main topic.

"I'll probably become a pirate too..." Norton thought for a moment and said, "It's probably difficult for me to be a businessman or a dog of the World Government in the Navy. Because my sense of justice cannot be exercised in the Navy. It would be more enjoyable to be a pirate or an adventurer."

“If that’s the case, we might actually meet again in the future.” Shanks took a sip of his drink, stood up, and said, “Guys, let’s go.”

"Oh!"

The group put Luffy down and turned to leave the tavern.

Luffy sat on the ground alone, feeling depressed and lost in thought for a long time.

Nami squatted down next to Luffy, reached out and pinched his cheek, and exclaimed, "This is so funny, little Luffy. Is your Devil Fruit ability just for playing around?"

"No way!" Luffy suddenly snapped out of his daze and shouted, then burst into tears: "Waaah... I want to go to sea and become a pirate... What am I going to do if I can't swim..."

"Tch!" Nami dismissively withdrew her hand, saying, "A crybaby pirate can't be that strong, can he?"

Nojiko returned to Norton's side, looked up at him, and asked, "When are we going back?"

"Let's go." Norton chuckled and called out, "Nami, we should go. Let Luffy have some peace and quiet; his Devil Fruit ability is really powerful!"

"Huh! Really?"

Upon hearing this, Nami and Luffy spoke at the same time.

"Of course! As long as he is willing to train hard and patiently develop his Devil Fruit ability, his Devil Fruit ability will definitely crush many people."

He waved again, saying, "Let's go, Nami."

"Oh, here it comes!" Nami ran over with a smile.

"Norton, will you come back again?" Luffy wiped away his tears and stood up.

"Of course!" Norton turned back with a smile, then pulled Nami and Nojiko away.

Luffy quickly ran out and waved goodbye to Nami and the others.

He has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't have time to stay here and watch Shanks lose his arm and Luffy catch the straw hat.

Back at Luffy's house, Norton released his flying boat, loaded up the things he had bought, and set off with Nami and the others.

No sooner had they left than a large contingent of the King's Guard arrived and began a thorough search for any suspicious targets.

There was no way around it; a nobleman had died inexplicably in the city, so they were bound to make a big fuss about it.

Even if they can't catch any suspects, they'll just grab a homeless person from the junkyard and kill them to make up the numbers.

……

Three days later, in Cocoyasi Village.

"Brother, do you really have to go?" Nami and Nojiko were very worried when they learned that Norton was going to seek revenge.

Chapter 26 Widespread Lamentation

“Of course.” Norton looked at this one and touched that one, then laughed. “Now that I have the strength to take revenge, of course I will go and avenge our family. Don’t worry, now, apart from that old man, no one in the East China Sea can touch me.”

Bellemere, a cigarette dangling from her lips, placed a basket of oranges on the airship: "Norton, no matter what, you need to be careful. I've told you everything I know about those pirates; you're on your own."

"Okay." Norton hugged his family again before jumping onto the airship, waving goodbye, and leaving.

"Bellmere, do you think Norton will succeed?" Nami asked, tears streaming down her face, as she watched Norton fly away, clutching Bellmere's clothes.

"Don't worry! Just like he said, he's really strong now!" Bellemere chuckled, ruffling Nami's hair. "Besides, we have Den Den Mushi now, so we can contact him anytime!"

"Oh right!" Nami wiped away her tears and looked at the Den Den Mushi on Nojiko's wrist.

Bellemere had one normal large Den Den Mushi, while the other wrist Den Den Mushi was given to Nojiko.

It wasn't that he didn't want to give it to Nami, it's just that she's too young right now, with thin arms and legs, she simply can't take care of her...

Nami licked her lips, giggled, and ran into the room.

On the desk, Bellemere's Den Den Mushi was quietly dozing off.

Nami ran over and excitedly picked up the microphone.

Blue blue blue...

Norton, who had just flown off the island, suddenly heard the Den Den Mushi in his arms ring and couldn't help but laugh.

"This little rascal." With a chuckle, Norton pulled out a Den Den Mushi and answered the call.

The Den Den Mushi transformed into Nami's avatar and said, "Brother, is that you?"

"Of course! You called as soon as I left, is something wrong?"

"Yes! I forgot to ask the Den Den Mushi if it wanted something to eat!"

"Of course they need to eat! But Den Den Mushi are all vegetarians, so you can feed them vegetables or oranges."

"Then...when will my brother come back?"

"That's hard to say. It depends on how well things go in the Kingdom of Oicot, and whether the pirates who slaughtered our relatives are still in the East Blue. If they're not in the East Blue, I'll hunt them down no matter where they are!"

"Then...brother, you must be careful! I don't know what's going on on the Grand Line, but it must be very dangerous!"

"It's nothing, you have to believe in your brother, your brother is very strong!"

"Mmm! Brother, we're waiting for you to come back!"

"Alright! You and Nojiko must also train hard! Most importantly, remember to listen to Bellemere, because she is our mother!"

"Um……"

Nami responded and hung up the phone.

Norton took a deep breath, his eyes sharpening instantly, and muttered to himself, "Hopefully those damned guys are still running rampant in the East China Sea, so I don't have to exert too much effort!"

When Nami hung up the phone, Bellemere and Nojiko were right behind her.

Upon hearing Norton's last words, Bellemere was moved to tears.

She had raised all three children herself, and this was the first time she had heard Norton say such a thing.

In fact, both Nami and Nojiko, although they knew that Bellemere had taken them in, had long regarded her as their mother.

The mother and her two daughters looked at each other, then laughed through their tears.

……

The Kingdom of Oicot.

Several years ago, after this place was attacked by pirates, the whole country was in turmoil.

Even later, the king of the Kingdom of Oicot was killed, and a tyrannical monarch ascended to the throne.

This guy's name is Stanks, the vice-captain of a pirate crew that attacked and destroyed the Kingdom of Oicot.

Under Stanks's brutal rule, the people of the New Euicot Kingdom have been living extremely difficult lives for the past few years.

As a member state of the World Government, the king of the Kingdom of Oicot was quite dissatisfied that his position was usurped by the vice-captain of a pirate crew.

However, because of the annual Heavenly Gold, the new king not only did not reduce the amount he had to hand over, but actually increased it by 10%, so the World Government pretended not to know about it.

Therefore, the current situation of the Neo-Oycot Kingdom is much worse than that of the Goa Kingdom.

The town ruins where the battle took place, the place where Bellemere found Norton, Nami, and Nojiko, have been rebuilt but have become a poor residential area with extremely harsh conditions.

The people living here are all emaciated, struggling financially, and their eyes lack any hope.

In the shadows beside the street, several beggars could be seen slumped over, panting and barely alive.

Compared to their place, the bustling inner city walls present a completely different scene.

The nobles who survived from the Kingdom of Oicot remain the nobles of this land.

It was precisely because of their support that this so-called vice-captain of the pirate crew was able to successfully ascend to the throne.

At the same time, because of the position of vice-captain of the pirate crew, the nobles became even more unscrupulous and arrogant.

"Hurry up, move faster!"

On the street, a nobleman sat in a carriage, constantly cracking his whip and lashing the three men pulling it.

clap clap...

He cracked the whip loudly, each lash drawing blood from the backs of the three men pulling the cart.

The three men groaned in pain, while the nobleman sitting in the carriage laughed excitedly.

This scene is strikingly similar to a Celestial Dragon riding on the back of a slave, making one grit their teeth in hatred.

Even so, the ordinary people living in the inner city did not dare to show their anger when they saw it. They all lowered their heads to show respect while also hiding their anger.
