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

"Yes, there are also some abstract shape features on the surface."

The two people saw different shapes from different angles.

Upon hearing this, Norton slightly rotated the Devil Fruit and, sure enough, discovered a somewhat abstract shape from the angle Eileen had just observed.

"Hmm...like...like...a pony that hasn't fully developed?" After stroking his chin and pondering for a while, Norton gave his opinion.

“Could it be a puppy?” Eileen shook her head; she had her own opinion.

"Or, how about we find someone to try?" Norton looked at Eileen, unsure.

Eileen's eyes widened: "Didn't you say this stuff is dangerous? Are you going to use prisoners to test it on?"

"Go away, what are you talking about..." Norton tapped his sister's forehead with an annoyed gesture, then pointed at the machine and said, "This machine is called the Devil Fruit Purifier. It can purify the power of Devil Fruits, making it pure and thus eliminating any danger."

"Let's go!" Eileen reached out and opened a door, and the two of them walked out.

The training ground is right outside the gate, where a large number of elite team members are doing their morning exercises.

"Todd, call one of the elite players over here," Norton called out to the handsome young man, Todd.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The young man wiped the sweat from his brow, glanced around, and then shouted in a certain direction, "Cruise, come with me."

"Yes, Captain."

Cruise raised his hand in response and immediately ran over, joining Todd in front of Norton.

"Cruise, this is for you." Norton handed over the Devil Fruit in his hand.

"This is... a Devil Fruit?" Todd's eyes lit up.

“Yes, but I don’t know what kind it is. They’ll have to figure it out for themselves.” Norton nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cruise hurriedly knelt on one knee, raised his hands to receive it, and then immediately began to eat it.

Even after being purified, the Devil Fruit still tastes awful.

Even so, Cruise, a qualified elite player, still ate all the fruit.

Norton gestured for him to stand up, and Cruise stood there with his eyes closed, carefully sensing the sensations.

Before long, Cruise's body began to tremble.

Seeing this, Norton and the others consciously stepped back.

They knew that Cruise's Devil Fruit ability was about to be revealed!

Sure enough, a dozen seconds later, Cruise bent over with veins bulging on his forehead, and his whole body began to change.

First, his body swelled up and grew taller, and even the clothes he wore during training were torn apart by this change, leaving him with only a pair of pants.

Then, his body turned dark red, and dark red body hair grew wildly.

In about thirty seconds, a tall, dark red horse, as tall as a person and standing on white flames, appeared before everyone.

"Holy crap? The purified fruit is this powerful?" Norton's mouth dropped open in astonishment.

“Your Majesty, this seems to be a horse, but… I feel like it’s a little different…” Cruise looked down at his hooves, the white flames on them giving him a very special feeling.

Norton nodded and said, "Try to figure it out first. I have a rough idea. Once you've figured it out, I'll tell you what it is."

"Yes."

Cruise snorted and then started running forward.

Everyone else on the training field looked on in astonishment.

One lap, two laps, three laps...

Just as Cruise was about to complete his fourth lap, a shocking scene unfolded!

Cruise actually stepped into the air and ran into the sky.

"Just as I expected... System, you're slacking off again... Isn't this the Hellfire Horse? The Headless Horseman's mount..." Norton muttered to himself, thoroughly confirming his suspicions.

Chapter 200 is bursting with game-like fun!

The system ignored him.

When Cruise returned, Norton pondered for a moment and told him the name of the fruit: "This should be the Zoan-type Horse-Horse Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Hellfire Horse Mode. Legend has it that it is a wild horse that comes out of hell, with hellfire burning under its feet, and can fly through the air."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly looked at Cruise.

"Wow, Cruise! Keep up the good work. My vice-captain position is still vacant, so keep it up!" Todd chuckled and patted Cruise's horse's rump in praise.

As a result, Cruise instinctively kicked him, sending the guy flying.

"Ah... I'm sorry, Captain... I... this... it was just an instinctive reaction..." Cruise quickly reverted to human form and turned around to apologize.

"I'm fine... I'm sorry..." Todd rolled to the ground and awkwardly raised his hand.

Haha ...

Everyone laughed.

Having achieved this positive result, Eileen and Norton rushed back to the treasure vault and began frantically purifying the fruits.

One fruit has just been purified. According to the order, there should be 999 fruits left.

If it takes one minute to purify one fruit, that's 999 minutes, nearly seventeen hours.

The two worked from morning till night, and even took turns eating during their shifts.

Finally finished in the middle of the night!

Instead of rushing to open the blind boxes in the middle of the night, they went back to sleep and prepared to start the next day.

The next morning.

The Nortons, who had been eagerly waiting, got up as soon as they opened their eyes.

"System, check in."

Norton checked in while brushing his teeth and washing his face.

[Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained an SSS signal transmission tower.]

An SSS-class signal tower with a signal strength powerful enough to cover the entire One Piece world, and even receive a weak signal on the moon. With it, coverage for television, telephone, and internet signals can be perfectly achieved.

"What?! Is the internet age about to arrive?"

Staring wide-eyed at himself in the mirror, Norton opened his management ring, found the TV, computer, and mobile phone templates in the A-level appliance templates, and laughed.

Let's make a few sets first!

Hey!

Norton quickly set up the LCD TV and the entire computer system in the room, plugged them in, and then eagerly turned them on to take a look...

After the meal, the palace training grounds were filled with a thousand elite team members.

These thousand men were all drawn from the original national defense forces and security personnel of the Kingdom of Oycot.

Their loyalty is over 90%, and it will increase to 100 once they eat the fruit.

"Brothers, you've all heard about what happened with Cruise yesterday! Today, we have another thousand of these as a reward for your contributions! I've been planning this for a while, but it only came to fruition yesterday when the goods arrived!" Norton patted the box beside him and addressed the crowd.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! To fight for the nation and for the alliance is our honor!"

They had clearly practiced many times, and after hearing Norton's words, they immediately shouted in unison.

Norton nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright! Now, let's split into two lines and come forward one by one to receive yours! First of all, I don't know what kind of fruit you've received, so you don't have a choice!"

"Yes!"

The crowd responded again and immediately formed two lines, taking turns to receive their prizes.

Norton and Bonnie stood on the left, each handing out one.

Eileen and Todd stood on the right, each receiving one.

Norton glanced across at the other side and couldn't help but exchange a smile with Bonnie.

When the two people opposite were distributing the fruit, sparks flew whenever their eyes met or their fingers touched.

This shows that Todd, this outstanding young man, has clearly caught Princess Eileen's eye.

In time, Eileen's good days may be coming.

Norton imagined that when Eileen's baby was due, she, who was afraid of pain, would only need to have a small opening made in her stomach so that the midwife could bring the baby out.

In this way, Eileen was spared the pain of being stabbed, and after closing the door, she wouldn't have to suffer a scar or lose her strength...

As he thought about it, Norton's smile grew even more sinister.

"Snapped--"

Bonnie couldn't stand it anymore and patted Norton on the back.

"Honey, what are you thinking about? Your smile is terrifying..."

"Ah, I...I...hehe...it's nothing...hey, look, someone over there has transformed!"

With a quick glance, Norton noticed that the first team member who had received and finished the fruit had transformed into a gigantic white bear.

This giant bear also has two long, sharp fangs in its mouth.

"Roar--"

The team member felt a surge of power, excitedly stood up, and roared.

“Polar bear? No, that’s not right.” Norton said in astonishment, “What you have should be the Bear-Bear Fruit, Polar Bear form. But polar bears don’t have these long fangs, so it might be the Bear-Bear Fruit, Ancient Zoan Polar Bear.”

The polar bear nodded and excitedly ran off to frolic in the back mountains.

As they spoke, the second, the third, the fourth...

Norton was getting tired of seeing so many people complete the transformation of the fruit...

It's really numb...

Species that do not exist in this world are actually everywhere!

For example... one of the team members turned into a fire-breathing dragon with flames jumping on its tail!

And then there was this guy who turned into a giant toad with a lotus leaf on his head and two tentacles flying around him.
