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

Norton went around to each of them and found that his phone had two more knives, which made him extremely happy!

"These days are so much better! You can find two good, sharp knives on a single trip!"

Once outside town, Norton began toying with the two knives in his hands.

Both of these swords are excellent, high-quality swords, and are named "Sakura" and "Flashback".

The Sakura has a dark red scabbard and a white hilt with a cherry blossom symbol in the center.

The flashback shows a blue scabbard and a dark blue hilt with two lightning bolt patterns on it.

Slowly drawing the blade, a cold glint flashed, and a chilling aura emanated from it!

"Excellent! It is indeed a fine knife!" Norton exclaimed in admiration before deciding to leave and return to Cocoyasi Village to deliver the goods.

But just as he stood up, several figures quickly approached him.

"Tch, I thought you guys were too scared to come!" Norton sneered as he turned to look.

These guys started following him as soon as he walked out of the weapons shop.

He deliberately came to a deserted place outside the town, waiting for these guys to walk right into his trap.

These guys are ruthless; they don't say a word when they meet, they just start fighting!

Oily roots!

Adu, please!

Gaga Bruga...

"what……"

After a chaotic beating, Norton had knocked all the little Karami to the ground.

Thinking that even a small fly is still meat, Norton went to the Navy and took over the pirates.

Norton happily collected a sum of extra money and then left.

Cocoyasi Village isn't actually that far from Loguetown. Norton flew for half a day after finding the right direction and soon saw the outline of the island.

Chapter 36 Making Yourself Stronger

“Belmel!”

Arriving above the orange grove, Norton shouted down.

Bellemere, who was standing at the entrance of the orange grove smoking, heard the sound, a smile appeared on her lips, and she raised her head slightly to shade her eyes as she looked up at the sky.

"Hey kid, get down here! Looking up at people like that is tiring!"

"hey-hey……"

He landed with a laugh, and Norton tossed two knives over, then took out the food box he had brought back from Baratie and placed it aside.

"This is a gift for you and Norge!" Norton said with a smug smile.

"What? Are you still leaving? What's the deal with these two knives?" Bellemere frowned as she caught the two knives.

Norton chuckled and said, "The dark red one is Cherry Blossom, and the blue one is Flashback. Both are excellent swords! I just went to Loguetown and bought them there! I'm going to the Grand Line to hunt down the Black Hand Pirates!"

Bellemere asked with some concern, "Is that so... Is it dangerous? Or... should you take Flashback with you for self-defense?"

"No need! Nobody can beat me in the first half of the Grand Line! You should focus on teaching Nojiko how to use a sword!" With that, Norton returned to his flying sword and waved his hand, "I'm going to find Nojiko and the others. I'll just say a few words and then leave."

"Take some oranges with you!" Bellemere hurriedly picked up a basket of oranges and handed it over.

“Okay!” Norton took it and said, “Bellmeal, take care of yourself!”

“Hmm!” This time, Bellemere didn’t say much, because she knew that revenge had become an obsession for Norton.

It's impossible to stop him!

Norton put away the oranges and went to the beach, where he saw Nokiko still training diligently!

At this point, Noki had about 20 kilograms of sandbags wrapped around his waist and legs, and he began weight training.

Nami sat to the side, engrossed in reading a book she had bought with Norton during their last outing.

"Sisters! Your brother is back!" Norton shouted as he landed beside Nami.

"Oh! Brother!" Nami exclaimed with delight, putting down her book and standing up.

"Brother Norton!" Norgi waved and ran over quickly.

"Brother, how long are you going to stay this time?" Nami stood by the sword and, seeing that Norton showed no sign of getting down, guessed something.

Norton ruffled Nami's hair and said, "I don't plan to come back this time, I'm just passing through. I'm going to the Grand Line to hunt down the Black Hand Pirates and avenge us!"

"Great! I hope my brother will have a successful start!" Nami had great confidence in Norton and wasn't worried at all that he would fail.

"Nojiko, this is for you!" Norton looked at Nojiko, flipped his hand, and the Barrier-Barrier Fruit appeared in his hand.

"What is this?" Nojiko reached out her rough little hand to take it and looked it over.

This fruit is unique, with strange patterns on its surface.

"This is called the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, a Devil Fruit. After eating it, you gain the ability to control protective barriers! You're Nami's older sister, so when I'm not home, with this ability you can protect Nami and Bellemere! However..."

At this point, Norton pointed to the sea and said, "Eating it will curse you with the sea, and you'll never be able to swim again. Are you willing to eat it to protect everyone?"

"I do!" Without a second's hesitation, Noki nodded and took a bite.

Why is she working so hard?

Isn't it also to do our part, to help Norton share the burden, and to protect everyone?

Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, there's nothing to hesitate about.

The Devil Fruit tasted awful, but even so, Nojiko still ate it with a frown.

Nami just stared at Nojiko quietly for a while before she opened her eyes.

"Barrier!" Sensing the Devil Fruit's power, Noji raised her left hand, crossing her middle and index fingers, and activated her ability.

Swah——

With a flash of light, a barrier as transparent as glass appeared in front of Nojiko.

Based on Nojiko's current physical strength, the area of ​​the barrier she can create is about two square meters, which can completely cover her front.

"The barrier you create can take any shape you want! From now on, you will be like me, doing physical training in the morning and cultivating your Devil Fruit abilities in the afternoon."

"Come on! Let me demonstrate for you, this will help you open up your thinking!"

As he spoke, Norton looked around and, finding no one watching, stood on the sword and began to practice using his Devil Fruit ability.

Under Norton's control, the Paper-Paper Fruit's power sometimes transforms into a pair of wings on its back, sometimes into a greatsword held in its hand, sometimes into a spear that flies out, and sometimes into a spiked shield...

Watching Norton's demonstration, Nokiko's mind became more agile, and he followed Norton's instructions, changing the shape of the barrier at will.

However, because she had just mastered this ability, she was still a bit clumsy and quite laborious when using it.

Within minutes, sweat was already forming on my forehead.

"Alright! You guys continue your training! I'll bring Nami a present next time I come back! Goodbye!"

With a wave of his hand, Norton came and went in a hurry.

"What...you didn't even stay a little longer before leaving..." Nami pouted in annoyance.

Nojiko wiped her sweat and said, "Nami, your brother is just eager to avenge us, so don't blame him."

Nami nodded, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "I know... I just miss him..."

With a slight smile, Nojiko walked over and hugged her: "I miss my brother too, but there are some things he definitely has to do. If you want to help your brother, you need to eat more, grow up quickly, exercise more, and become stronger!"

Nami nodded firmly, her eyes resolute, and said, "Yes! I will! Not only that, I will also study hard and strive to become the best navigator!"

"Hmm! Look at this, I just learned it!" Nojiko suddenly smiled mysteriously, crossed the index and middle fingers of his left hand, and a floating barrier sword appeared in front of him...

……

Upside-down Mountain, Twin Gorges.

Norton arrived here and saw the whale Laboon below.

"Old man, I need your help with something. I've already entered the Grand Line and am preparing to hunt down the Black Hand Pirates who destroyed and overthrew the Kingdom of Oicot. Could you give me some information?"

Suspended in mid-air, Norton dialed Karp's number.

"The Black Hand Pirates? Let me see..."

Garp adopted a nonchalant expression, even picking his nose while talking on the phone.

After a long while, Garp finally replied.

Chapter 37 New Features Unlocked

"It's true that the Black Hand Pirates entered the Grand Line a few years ago, but this year they seem to have gone to the New World. The information isn't clear, because there's another piece of information saying they went to the North Blue. The Black Hand Pirates have always been very cunning."

Unexpectedly, Garp gave an ambiguous and uncertain answer.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Norton made his decision: "The North Sea? We can go there first to check, and then go to the New World."

"If we really find the Black Hand Pirates... you brat, teach them a lesson for me! Captain Sarachi or not, you'll get your bounty!"

After saying this in a cold voice, Garp hung up the Den Den Mushi.

"Looks like the old man has been really angered by this Sarachi!" Norton put away his Den Den Mushi and gave a cold smile.

After turning around to confirm the direction of the sea route, Norton decisively flew into the North Sea.

Beihai?

Doflamingo's territory!

The Don Quixote family is now beginning to show its strength!

The Black Hand Pirates probably came to the North Blue secretly to make a deal with this guy.

A possibility popped into Norton's mind.

"I wonder if I can beat Doflamingo now..." Norton clenched his fist, his eyes full of anticipation.
