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

"Good... good!"

Al realized what was happening, bowed to Kahavin, and then turned and chased after him.

Norton said he didn't have much of an impression of the name "Spring Queen's City".

After all, most of the story in One Piece follows Luffy's journey.

Of the more than a thousand chapters Norton has read, there are naturally many that he has never read before, or that are not well-known islands.

However, the Queen's City in Springtime did indeed appear; it was there when P9 fled after their defeat.

Here, penniless, they were forced to perform on the streets to pay for Lucci's medical treatment.

Although the description is brief, it is clear that the Queen's City in spring is not only bustling but also very friendly and welcoming.

The alarm was lifted. Because of the pirate attack, everyone had gone back to their homes and shelters, and the streets were deserted.

Now they all came out, their faces beaming with the joy of victory, embracing and laughing in the street.

"It feels great here." Noldo smiled with emotion as he looked at the streets filled with cheers.

El nodded matter-of-factly and smiled proudly, "Yes, the atmosphere in our Spring Queen City has always been very good because commerce and agriculture are relatively developed, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment."

"Oh, we're here, that's it." After walking a little further, El pointed ahead.

Norton looked up and saw that the restaurant El was pointing to was actually called the Queen's Restaurant.

With anticipation in his eyes, Norton followed Al inside.

"Welcome!" A tall, blonde woman greeted them as they entered.

El approached the beautiful woman, pointed at Norton with admiration, and said, "Molly, this is the hero who helped us defeat the pirates. Quickly bring up your specialty dishes and make sure he's well-fed!"

"Really?" Jasmine looked at the big guy in surprise, blinked her beautiful eyes, and blushed, saying, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Please sit down!"

After leading Norton and his companion to a secluded private room, Jasmine smiled and left.

Not long after, Jasmine came back with a fragrant breeze, carrying a bottle of red wine and a bottle of juice.

"Excuse me……"

"My name is Norton."

"Oh, Mr. Norton, would you like a drink or a juice?"

"Let's have some juice and wine. A little wine will help us rest later."

"Ok."

Jasmine put down the juice and wine bottles, brought a glass, poured Norton a glass of juice, and then left.

Al sat somewhat awkwardly to the side, then suddenly realized what was happening and immediately got up to pour Norton a drink.

"Pretty clever." Norton, who had just raised his hand, paused for a moment, then smiled and lowered his hand.

"System, sign in." Norton took a sip of his drink, closed his eyes as if dozing, and mentally signed in.

[Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained one A-level special location and one A-level brewery construction card. Can be used in conjunction with the management ring.]

"Grade A water quality paired with a Grade A winery, hahaha...isn't this a sure way to make money? By the way, system, what kind of wine is this?"

[Ding! Baijiu! Very rare in this world! Grade A baijiu, simply doesn't exist here!]

Wow... awesome!

In his mind, Norton gave the system a thumbs up. He then took out the A-grade brewery card from under the table, stuck it on his ring, and it was immediately integrated into the ring.

Norton opened the management interface, glanced at El who was still in a daze, and after confirming that only he could see the interface, he looked at the brewery settings.

The distillery mainly produces pure grain liquor, and because it is an A-level distillery, it can produce all levels of liquor, including ordinary liquor, from A-level to below.

This satisfies the needs of everyone from ordinary people to bigwigs.

However, Norton's idea was that A and B grade liquors would only be for his own people.

Only regular and grade D baijiu can be sold to the public, and that's enough!

As anyone who drinks knows, even ordinary liquor is divided into low-alcohol and high-alcohol varieties.

First, open up the market with ordinary liquor, then use D-grade liquor to attack the World Government, the Navy, and pirate leaders, and the market of the Kingdom of Oicot will be fully opened.

After much daydreaming, Norton looked at the current materials of the Kingdom of Oycot.

"We have enough materials! What are we waiting for? Let's select a site and start building!" Norton couldn't wait to check the prompt next to the A-grade brewery that read "Conditions met, build or not."

The brewery and its facilities are also classified as top secret.

So after looking at the map for a long time, Norton decided to place it underground on the east side of the palace.

The brewery and brewing tanks are located underground because the underground temperature is relatively constant, which is conducive to fermentation due to its warmth in winter and coolness in summer.

Moreover, since the brewery was built directly in the basement on the east side of the palace, a lot of stone and wood were saved, and only some modifications and expansions were needed.

"This is it, start construction!" Norton selected the location and clicked "Yes," then saw that the construction time was half an hour.

Having settled things at the distillery, Norton once again calmly awaited his meal.

About ten minutes later, the delicious-looking and fragrant dishes began to be served one after another.

As for food, Norton simply ordered a large bowl to start eating.

Because the portion sizes were relatively small, Norton had to make do by eating more rice and less vegetables for the time being.

Chapter 51 Passing Away in Happiness

Half an hour later, the management ring vibrated slightly, indicating that the A-level brewery had been completed.

Norton happily opened the management interface, entered the distillery, and directly selected to produce Grade A 42-degree baijiu.

Before his time travel, Norton had drunk 42-proof liquor, which he found just right. Anything stronger than 54 proof was no longer his cup of tea.

Brewing a bottle of wine takes very little time, only about ten seconds from start to finish on the progress bar.

Thirteen seconds later, a 500ml bottle of Grade A liquor automatically entered Norton's personal space.

Grade A 42-degree baijiu: Drinking it can strengthen the body, relieve fatigue, stimulate potential, and make cultivation twice as effective.

Norton stared in astonishment at the description of the Grade A liquor, opened his mouth, and finally let out two words in his mind—"Awesome!"

This A-grade baijiu combines the characteristics of A-grade water with the potential-stimulating properties of A-grade liquor itself.

Such a good thing is definitely not suitable for others to drink; you have to drink it secretly behind closed doors!

Having made up his mind, Norton opened the bottle and took a sip straight to his mouth.

"Tsk—ha—the aroma is wonderful, what a fine wine!" Norton exclaimed, then decided to put the liquor away and drink it secretly at the inn.

Suddenly, an air door, only twenty centimeters in size, opened beside Norton, and a withered hand reached out and grabbed the bottle, trying to snatch it away.

“This is…” Norton’s hand tightened, and when he looked down, his eyes lit up.

This is an air door opened by the Door-Door Fruit's power!

Norton knew very well what happened next: the P9 members obtained the Door-Door Fruit and even opened a bar in Water Seven to cover their tracks.

However, it seems that the owner of the Door-Door Fruit has not changed yet.

Norton gripped the bottle tightly, and the airlock immediately expanded, pulling out a ragged, gaunt old man.

"Ouch..." The old man cried out in pain and fell to the ground. He got up with an embarrassed look and looked at Norton.

El suddenly saw that it was this old man who had appeared out of nowhere, and immediately felt a sense of disgust: "Old Leta, it's you again! This time you've actually set your sights on the hero who just saved us! Tell me, what do you want to steal?"

As they were talking, El had already arrived beside old Leta.

This old man possessed such valuable fruit, yet he used it to steal things and got caught...

There really are no useless fruits, only useless people...

"Hehe... Oh, it's Brother El..." The old man chuckled awkwardly, rubbing his nose as he said, "I just smelled a strong aroma of wine, and I couldn't resist... hehe..."

As he spoke, the old man's gaze returned to the bottle of wine in Norton's hand.

Good heavens, he's been caught red-handed, but this old man is still up to his old tricks.

El, hands on his hips, said angrily, "Even if you want to drink the hero's wine, you have to ask him properly first! Why can't you change your sneaky behavior? If you keep this up, you really won't live past this year!"

"Ah..." The old man sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, I already knew I was going to die soon, so when I smelled that aroma of wine, I wanted to take a sip before I died..."

After saying that, the old man licked his lips and looked at Norton with pleading eyes.

"No rush." ​​Norton smiled slightly and looked at El. "There should be fruit vendors on the street, right? Could you buy me some apples, oranges, bananas, and the like? Thanks!"

As he spoke, Norton took off his backpack and placed it beside him, then took out a stack of peso coins, which looked to be at least 100,000.

El hurriedly waved his hand: "That won't do. You are our hero. As long as I go out and shout, you won't even need to spend any money. Everyone will rush to send you gifts."

“Take it and buy it. I’m helping you, not to take advantage of you! You still have to pay what you owe; it’s a matter of principle and bottom line.” Norton’s face hardened, and he stuffed the money into Al’s arms.

He was ultimately a qualified firefighter, never taking a single needle or thread from the public. He knew what he could and couldn't take.

Upon hearing this, El's expression became even more respectful.

"Okay, I'll be right back!" After bowing, El hurriedly ran out.

“Sit down, I’ll bring you a drink when he gets back.” Norton gestured to the seat next to him.

"Thank you..." Leta sat down excitedly, but her eyes were fixed on the bottle of wine that Norton had placed on the table, and she kept licking her lips.

Not long after, the restaurant started serving the food, and Al returned carrying a large bag of fruit.

Norton thanked him, took off his backpack, and stuffed the fruit inside one by one.

Looking at these fresh and juicy fruits, Norton knew they must be the best fruits carefully selected by Al and the merchants.

"Alright, come on!"

Norton stuffed the fruit into his bag, then took out three cups and poured one for himself, Al, and old Letta.

The old man didn't dare to touch it, but instead greedily took a deep sniff: "Hiss... Ah... Yes! Yes, yes! That's the smell... It's so delicious!"

Al also leaned closer to smell it. He had never drunk this kind of wine before and didn't know why old Leta would say that.

“Drink up!” Norton picked up his glass and gestured to Leta and El.

Only then did the two dare to raise their glasses to Norton, and then tilt their heads back and drink it down.
