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

Suddenly sensing the approaching threat, Jinbe gritted his teeth and delivered the punch.

As a result, Norton's fist didn't even touch Jinbe's fist; the latter was sent flying by a punch imbued with Conqueror's Haki.

[Ding! Fishman Karate recorded. Host, would you like to integrate it?]

Jinbe had used up his complete karate technique, and the system notification sounded.

"Integration, it should come in handy sometime in the future." Norton was delighted and smiled as he walked towards Jinbe, extending his hand.

"You really are strong!" Jinbe wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, reached out and shook hands with Norton as he stood up. "Like I said, I'm definitely going to be your friend!"

"Hahaha... Alright, let's go! Let's find a place to eat!" Norton also liked Jinbe's forthright personality.

The two of them smiled and walked towards Eileen and the others to find a place to eat.

"System, sign in." During the meal, Norton held Bonnie's hand under the table and mentally signed in.

Bonnie blushed with embarrassment, and the system notification sounded.

[Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained one Devil Fruit Ability Evolution Card.]

Devil Fruit Evolution Cards can evolve a specified Devil Fruit ability into a higher-level Devil Fruit ability.

For example, the Monkey Fruit, in its golden monkey form, may evolve into the Mythical Zoan type Monkey Fruit, in its Goku form, after using an evolution card.

After using the Flame-Flame Fruit, it may evolve into an advanced version of the Flame-Flame Fruit, the Strange Flame form.

"Holy crap, this card is awesome! What will my Paper-Paper Fruit evolve into after I use it?" Norton was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the system.

[Ding! After evolving, the Paper-Paper Fruit can evolve into its perfect natural form, and the paper elements will become more diverse, such as gold paper, silver paper, tin foil, etc.]

"Great, great! Complete natural form, so can we officially take off now? Hey! Take off!"

Feeling secretly pleased, Norton knew that Bonnie's lucky streak was also helping him. While pretending to look down to find the dropped cutlery, he took the opportunity to kiss the back of Bonnie's hand.

Swah——

Bonnie's pretty face turned bright red as she felt the warmth of Norton's lips.

Everyone noticed this, but no one tried to tease them.

Jinbe, on the other hand, curiously bent down to take a look and saw Norton holding Bonney's hand. He immediately understood.

"Young people in love, how wonderful!" Jinbe thought to himself, completely forgetting that he wasn't that old either, only around thirty...

In fact, Norton and Bonnie were also torn between their feelings.

"What...what are you doing...there are so many people watching..." Bonnie kicked Norton in embarrassment.

“I love you so much, I can’t help but want to kiss you, so what? Is that a problem? Is it illegal for me to kiss my future wife? Even if it is illegal, I’m the king, okay? Who dares to object?” Norton replied confidently.

Norton sat back down, glanced at Bonnie on Joffrey's cheek, and couldn't resist wanting to kiss her red lips again.

Fortunately, there were so many people here... that's how Bonnie escaped unharmed.

However, to the others, their little actions appeared as if the two of them were completely enveloped in a large heart shape.

“Love is still beautiful, isn’t it…” Looking at them, Bellemere thought of Colt.

Colt's expression of love for her was so passionate yet gentle that it truly moved her.

Now that Norton is grown up, even capable of ruling a country, and Nojiko and Nami are also grown up, shouldn't I start thinking about it too?

After finishing his meal, Norton said goodbye to the guards in charge of taking care of them at the Dragon Palace and prepared to leave.

"Want to come over to my place for a bit?" Norton invited Jinbe before leaving.

Jinbe shook his head regretfully and said, "Me? I'd better not. It would take a long time to go to your place and back, and I can't be away for too long."

"Don't worry, it won't be long!" Grinning, Norton looked at Eileen: "Little sister, let's have Jinbe show off one of his special skills."

"Alright!" Irene stepped into the middle of the group and bowed slightly to Jinbe: "The time to witness a miracle has begun!"

After saying that, he reached out and pulled, opening an air door in the air.

"This...is this a Devil Fruit ability?" Jinbe stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"Of course, let's go!" After giving Jinbe a push from behind, the group arrived at the Kingdom of Oicot.

……

"Welcome back, Your Majesty and Princess."

As soon as they arrived, the voices of the ministers and guards rang out.

It turned out that the door Eileen opened led to the palace training grounds.

"Welcome." With a wave of his hand, Norton looked at Jinbe and said, "I'll arrange for someone to show you around the Kingdom of Oicot later."

"Okay, thanks." Jinbe, who was looking around, snapped out of his daze and thanked him.

After being away for a few days, he and Eileen will be busy for a while, as they already have a batch of orders piling up.

After summoning Colt and instructing him to send someone to take Jinbe sightseeing, Norton returned to his room to keep busy.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Eileen waited outside the royal treasury.

As Norton worked on it, various products began to appear in the vault, and the process didn't end until all the orders that Dusen had given to Norton were arranged.

Norton saw that he had enough materials, so he also made some walkie-talkies for use on the island, which would make it easier for him to communicate with various departments.

After distributing the walkie-talkies and teaching them how to use them, Eileen and Mickey began delivering goods.

Norton then resumed operating the waste sorting station, breaking down the garbage that had been transported back in the past few days.

Chapter 121 I'll Teach You How to Shoot

As soon as the waste decomposition station started operating, the resource figures for the Kingdom of Oycot began to fluctuate wildly.

Materials include stone, various metals, wood, fabric, rubber, and glass.

What surprised Norton was that there was an order for Aokiji Kuzan among the orders.

He didn't know whether he had seen the latest advertising video produced by the Kingdom of Oycot or read the newspaper advertisement that made him aware that bicycles were for sale here.

So among the many orders, there was a bicycle order from Kuzan.

Of course, the largest number of orders were for alcohol, because the sales channels had already been established.

And then there's the smoke!

Because the sales channels haven't been established yet, and the advertising has only been running for a short time, there aren't many orders, and they're all coming from the domestic market.

They placed the order because they trusted Norton.

Norton checked the materials warehouse and found that all kinds of tobacco leaves had arrived in China. He immediately used the tobacco factory to make several boxes of S-grade women's cigarettes and S-grade cigars.

Bellemere smokes some lousy cigarettes all the time, and since Norton was little, he's always complained that the secondhand smoke is not only unpleasant to smell but also harmful to health.

Having obtained the cigarettes, Norton couldn't wait to go find Bellemere.

Bellemere had just finished bathing and was sitting leisurely in the palace gardens, admiring the flowers.

Not far away, Colt stared at her in a daze, not daring to approach.

"Bellmeal, try this!" Norton ran over, snatched the cigarette from Bellmeal's mouth, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it twice.

Then he opened the cigarette case in his hand, took out a slender women's cigarette, put it in Bellemere's mouth, and lit it for her.

"What is this..." Bellemere frowned, about to ask about the cigarette, when she felt a faint fragrance and coolness enter her lungs through her respiratory tract, causing her to widen her eyes and take a big inhale.

She had only inadvertently taken a small sip while speaking, and she had already sensed something was wrong.

Now, by actively inhaling a large puff of cigarette smoke, the effects of refreshing the mind, clearing the throat, and benefiting the lungs become fully apparent.

"What a great cigarette!" Bellemere exhaled a smoke ring and looked at Norton with shining eyes. "Where did you buy this cigarette? It tastes really good. My lungs feel especially comfortable after smoking it, and I feel much more relaxed."

“This is produced in our own cigarette factory, so it has to be guaranteed!” Norton grinned, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at Colt in the distance.

With Norton present, Colt's eyes lit up, and he simply ran over to pay his respects openly.

Norton also took out ten boxes of cigars and handed them to him: "These are cigars produced by our tobacco factory. Go and distribute them to the ministers who smoke, especially the two old men, Tommy and Dusen. They had been coughing a while ago. Tell them that smoking these cigars is good for their lungs."

"Yes!" Colt took the cigar, glanced at Bellemere again, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.

The Kingdom of Oicot is constantly progressing and becoming stronger.

With the emergence of several new products, Norton also created S-grade pet food.

After trying to feed a Den Den Mushi one, the Den Den Mushi gave a thumbs up in gratitude.

I tried feeding a live Den Den Mushi one, and its eyes lit up; it couldn't wait to start broadcasting right away.

I tried feeding one to a Radar Den Den Mushi, and wow, the Radar Den Den Mushi's coverage area was so large it almost reached the moon.

Finally, another Den Den Mushi was given a pill, and the Den Den Mushi gained a new function: it could connect with Radar Den Den Mushi.

After connecting to the radar Den Den Mushi, the radar's power increased, and the coverage area of ​​the base station Den Den Mushi also increased!

This is truly a pleasant surprise!

With the orders and S-grade pet food sorted out, Norton set his sights on strengthening his armed forces.

The A-level arsenal began operation, and the standard for firearms evolved directly from flintlock muskets to semi-automatic weapons.

Two thousand defense troops, plus one thousand security troops, for a total attack of three thousand.

Norton provided them all at once, giving each of them a semi-automatic rifle with a 20-round magazine.

The pistols were also replaced with those that had ten bullets.

When night fell, Norton summoned Colt and Raul, and had them send men over to collect the guns and teach them how to use them.

The appearance of the new weapon immediately surprised and excited everyone.

"Your Majesty, is this weapon really more powerful than the old one?" a soldier asked excitedly, holding up a rifle.

"You'll see when you try!" Norton smiled slightly, picked up a rifle, quickly loaded a magazine full of bullets, aimed at a large tree a hundred meters away, pulled the bolt, and fired.

boom--

click -

One shot rang out, and wood chips flew everywhere.

The soldiers immediately ran over to check, and then excitedly ran back to collect their rifles.
