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

The only question now is whether Bonnie will take the initiative to contact me after we get back.

Before she left, Norton had whispered three words to her—"I'll wait for you."

Then, he took stock of all the good things he had received in the past few days.

Signing in alongside Bonnie really does bring good luck.

Bonnie spent five days in the Kingdom of Oicot. Besides getting a divine sword on the first day, Norton also obtained an A-grade electrical appliance template, an A-grade bicycle factory, an A-grade arsenal, and five bags of A-grade fertilizer.

Norton was overjoyed!

I got the Grade A appliance template today, and this thing is very important!

Whether the Kingdom of Oicot can achieve the goal of having electric lights and appliances in every household is precisely because of this.

Then there's the A-grade Golden Fertilizer. Norton was initially somewhat reluctant about it, but after seeing its effects, he immediately smiled.

Grade A Jin Ke La: It can transform soil treated with Jin Ke La into Grade A soil, thereby upgrading the quality of crops, shortening their ripening period, and doubling their nutritional value.

One bag of Jin Ke La can transform two acres of land, and five bags can transform ten acres of land.

Before the islands expanded, there wasn't nearly as much agricultural land.

After the expansion, there was a significant increase in agricultural land.

Now that we have A-grade Golden Fertilizer, the agriculture of the Kingdom of Oycot can reach a new level.

There's also an A-level bicycle manufacturing plant and an A-level arms factory, those two are pretty impressive too!

Bicycles manufactured by Class A bicycle manufacturers are not only fast but also require little effort, and riding them can double the exercise effect.

Most importantly! The bicycles manufactured by the Class A bicycle factory come in two types: one type can only be ridden on land, and the other type is a sea bicycle that can be ridden at sea.

After seeing that Class A marine bicycle, Norton exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing!"

If these are two islands that are relatively close together, you can ride a bicycle back and forth between them.

Of course, Norton's main idea was to assign the Class A sea bikes to the Class S Calais, so that if anything happened, the crew could simply abandon ship and ride away.

The final A-level arsenal went a bit too far!

The A-grade swords produced in the A-grade arsenal are all of the level of excellent sharp swords, and they are mass-produced.

If this thing were mass-produced and equipped for the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Public Security, wouldn't the defense capabilities double?

A-grade swords are 50 good grade swords, S-grade swords are 21 great grade swords, and SS-grade swords are 12 supreme great grade swords.

These are Norton's ideas and inferences; the actual situation will only be known once the finished product is actually built.

"I'm rich! I'm rich! If I don't marry a wife who can bring me good luck, I'll be a fool!" After counting his prizes, Norton immediately started making arrangements.

The Class A arsenal was a strategic location and not suitable to be openly displayed, so he once again placed the arsenal underground within the palace.

The winery and royal treasury were located underground on the east side of the palace, while the arsenal was placed underground on the west side.

There are advantages to placing the arsenal and wine cellars underground in the palace. During the renovation and installation process, the system will automatically reinforce the palace's foundation and the sturdiness of these buildings.

After the arsenal was put down, the underground palace was basically occupied.

On the far east side is the winery, next to it is the royal palace treasury, then there is the A-level water vein and the large A-level armory to the west.

The Class A bicycle manufacturing plant was located on the east side of the island, next to the Class S shipyard.

After taking care of all that, he couldn't wait to create an A-grade longsword.

Of course, A-level armories don't only manufacture swords and knives; they also produce guns, armor, and even cannons.

Norton just wanted to test the waters, so he made a sword first.

Grade A longsword, sharpness reaches or exceeds that of a good-quality cleaver of fifty, with a cutting effect, and not easily damaged.

When Norton saw the effects of the A-grade sword, his glasses lit up: "So an A-grade sword not only has the sharpness of a good-quality blade, but it also has additional effects! Awesome!"

Such a great thing definitely needs to be shared!

Norton placed an order for sixty standard-issue sabers without hesitation. He did not make swords for Colt and his men because they were used to using knives.

You can't expect others to use swords just because you, as the king, like to use them.

"Colt, call Raul, and you two take the entire elite team to the training ground."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Norton notified Colt via Den Den Mushi, then opened the management interface and checked the loyalty of the elite team.

Chapter 85 I want to go too!

The physical fitness of all fifty elite team members has now reached level B and B+.

Because they often cultivated together with the king, their loyalty steadily increased to over 90%, with the lowest being over 80%.

"I reckon everyone should be fully paid out after this wave of benefits," Norton thought to himself as he walked toward the training ground.

Sixty Class A standard-issue sabers were all completed in less than five minutes.

When Norton arrived at the training ground, he took out all the knives and placed them beside him.

"Wow! System, you're really awesome! You even provided scabbards!" Norton thought to himself as he glanced at the pile of swords on the ground.

[Ding! Of course, this system strives for perfection; an A-level arsenal must live up to its A-level standards!]

"Impressive!" Norton nodded in satisfaction. He heard footsteps; Colt and the others were running over quickly.

More than fifty people, some using shaving techniques and others using moonwalking, all arrived at the training ground at top speed.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The crowd lined up in front of Norton and bowed in unison.

"Get up, everyone!" Norton raised his hand and looked at Colt and Raul, saying, "Colt, Raul, the reason I called you all here today is to give you some perks! Come on, take your swords according to the number of your team members! This is a reward for your hard work and training over this period of time!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Colt and Raul looked delighted and hurriedly stepped forward, calling out names as they began to draw their swords.

Norton stepped aside and continued, "Although these are standard-issue swords, each one is as sharp as a fine blade. I hope you will cherish them."

"A fine-quality sword of the 50th grade? As expected of His Majesty! Truly a grand gesture!" Colt exclaimed excitedly, and the elite team members' eyes lit up as well.

Norton checked the management ring again and found that the loyalty of this elite team of over fifty people had indeed reached 100% after receiving the sword, making them extremely loyal.

After distributing the sabers, Norton summoned the Minister of Agriculture, Daramiy, handed him the Golden Fertilizer, and instructed him on how to use it.

After hearing Norton's description, Daramit became much more alert.

"There's such a magical thing that can increase production, shorten the ripening period, and double the nutrition? That's great! I'll arrange it right away!" Darami rubbed his hands together, called over a few people to help, picked up five bags of Golden Fertilizer, and left impatiently.

……

"No one should try to take the East China Sea from me!"

"Pah! I bet you just want to take this opportunity to travel around the Kingdom of Oycot and then sneak in some good wine!"

"Just talking about the wine from the Kingdom of Oicot makes my backache and legs stop hurting. It's truly a wonderful thing, hahaha..."

In the conference hall, Kong, Sengoku, Tsuru, Garp, Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan, and others were all seated, surrounded by a group of major generals and lieutenant generals.

"We've held world conferences before, so I won't waste any more time on small talk! Just proceed according to the original plan!"

"Also, this should be my last World Conference as Marshal, so I don't want to see any problems arise. After the World Conference, Sengoku's appointment should be announced soon."

After Kong Kong finished speaking loudly, he looked at Sengoku.

Sengoku nodded and continued, "Taking this opportunity, I'd also like to bring up the matter of promoting generals. As you all have seen, there have been two general positions vacant. If I were to be promoted to marshal, there would be no one left to fill the general positions. Therefore, after discussions between Marshal Kong and myself, we have decided that the general positions will be filled by Borosalino, Kuzan, and Sakazuki."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the three of them.

The three men have been lieutenant generals for several years now.

They seemed to have anticipated the proposal from the Warring States period, so there was no surprise on their faces.

The three stood up, unanimously expressing that they would not let down the person who had been promoted, and then, understanding each other, moved on to the main topic.

With the general candidates all identified, the list of lieutenant generals from headquarters was also released, and Momonga and the others were all on it, which couldn't help but excite them.

……

In the meeting room of the Five Elders in Mary Geoise, the Holy Land.

"That concludes the latest intelligence on the Kingdom of Oycot." After reporting the current situation of the Kingdom of Oycot, the P representative respectfully stepped aside.

"The development of this Kingdom of Oycot is a bit too fast!" The bald old man frowned slightly. "Could it be that they have obtained some magical thing that we don't know about?"

The old man in the hat, Jaigolusia Satan Saint, shook his head, picked up his glass and took a sip, saying, "It shouldn't be. Putting aside how popular the amusement park is, and how sought-after the concerts and theaters are, just the alcohol they produce is enough to drive the whole world crazy."

"Who says otherwise?" the white-haired old man said expressionlessly. "I've already become addicted to their wine. Should we consider asking them to hand over the brewing recipe?"

“There’s no need for that!” the Mediterranean elder said. “They are, after all, a member state of the World Government. If we do that, what will other countries think? They’re not like Ohara, where we can just label them! After these years of development, the Kingdom of Oycot has become world-renowned, and many countries have established good relations with them. If we act rashly, it will definitely cause adverse reactions.”

After a few seconds of silence, the white-haired old man spoke again: "So what do you think about the electricity problem in the Kingdom of Oycot? Can we adopt this technology?"

The blond elder thought for a moment and said, "This issue can be raised at the World Conference, then other countries will also know that they can use electricity. If the young king of the Kingdom of Oycot doesn't intend to hand it over in front of so many countries, not only will he lose face, but he may also create conflicts with other countries. After all, having access to electricity is something that all countries should really want."

Upon hearing this, the elderly man with the Mediterranean nose and the others all laughed sinisterly.

……

There are still two weeks until the start of the World Conference.

Newsbird spread this message to every country and every island.

The Kingdom of Oicot naturally received a notification from the World Government.

Two days later, Garp will lead a team to escort them to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

So in the afternoon, Norton took people to the boat to practice.

"Brother, I want to come along this time too!" Eileen put on a pitiful expression and grabbed Norton's arm, shaking it vigorously.

Chapter 86 We have to do something!

“Oh my sister… stop shaking me… I didn’t say I wouldn’t take you! I’m definitely taking you on this trip! Because…” With a mysterious smile, Norton leaned close to Eileen’s ear and said, “This time, I also want to go to Fishman Island on the way. Then, your door can open to the Holy Land Mary Geoise, the Sabaody Archipelago, and Fishman Island.”

"Once we pass Fishman Island, we'll be in the New World. Once you can open the gate to Fishman Island, it will be much easier for us to enter the New World. So... you need to train hard these next few days!"

"Great! Thank you, brother!" Eileen jumped up and down happily, hugging Norton's neck. Then she added, "Should I pick up Bonnie? They're definitely going to the Kingdom of Sobel too, so should I have her come along?"

“Well… you know what that means!” Norton raised an eyebrow.
