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

"Here you go." Norton took off the backpack he had brought with him and pulled out... a bowl of noodles, handing it over.

"Hey, seriously? You brought something like this?" Eileen took it in astonishment, then smiled and handed it to Ayu: "Are you hungry? Eat this! It's delicious!"

"No, I'm not hungry..."

Suck...

While saying she wasn't hungry, Ayu sniffed hard.

It smells so good, I really want to take a bite.

As I thought about it, I almost couldn't stop drooling.

"Eat up! Don't be shy!" Eileen shoved the bowl into Ayu's hands, then introduced herself with a smile: "My name is Eileen, and behind me are my brother Norton and sister-in-law Bonnie."

Chapter 205 now has another purpose.

"Hello...slurp!" Ayu greeted him sensibly, then quickly sucked back her saliva, her obedient manner making one's heart ache.

"Eat up! Don't worry about us, we have more." Norton knew what Ayu was worried about and offered a word of comfort.

"Um……"

This Jade was genuinely hungry, all in the name of becoming some kind of outstanding female ninja. Of course, this was just an excuse to show her strength.

Everyone understands that it's bad for a child's growth and development to go hungry at such a young age.

But what can we do?

The situation in Wano Country right now is absolutely terrible!

Slippery...

Xiaoyu ate with great relish, her eyes still brimming with tears.

Norton and the others didn't rush into action; they simply watched Xiaoyu eat with the two women, their eyes full of affection.

"Oh, right!" Ayu seemed to have thought of something. After swallowing the noodle soup in her mouth, she looked up and asked, "You're also from outside. Do you know Ace?"

"Huh? Ace has already been here? I thought I was here before him!" Norton exclaimed in surprise, slapping his forehead.

"Big brother, do you know Ace?" Upon hearing this, Ayu immediately perked up.

“I know him, of course I know him.” Norton laughed. “That brat is my little brother! When did he arrive?”

“Oh… Brother Ace is…” Xiaoyu innocently counted on her fingers, but couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard she tried. She simply waved her hand and said, “Anyway, it’s been several days already.”

"Pfft..."

Bonnie and Eileen were amused by Ayu's innocence.

"Hahaha... Alright! Hurry up and eat. After you're done, show us around. We have other things to do here!" Norton laughed and slapped his thigh.

"Okay!" Ayu quickly lowered her head and ate the rest of the noodles in a few bites.

Norton took out the Endless Water Jug and poured some water into the empty bowl: "Here, have some more water, the noodles might be a little salty."

"Mmm!" Ayu's innocent big eyes lit up when she saw the water.

The water here has long been polluted, and drinking it without treatment would cause great harm to the body.

So when she saw the purified water Norton poured for her, she was even more surprised than when she saw a bowl of noodles.

goo go go go...

With a tilt of her head back, Ayu drank half a bowl of water.

Ayu wiped her mouth and exclaimed in delight, "Ha... Big brother! Your water is so sweet! I've never drunk such sweet water before!"

"Is it good? If it is, have some more!" Norton smiled and poured her another half bowl.

"Thank you!" But this time, Ayu only said thank you and did not drink it immediately.

Instead, she carefully stood up, holding the bowl, and greeted everyone with a smile, "Please come with me! I'd like to invite you all to my home!"

"You should drink your water first, I have more here!" Norton said from behind.

"No... Ayu wants to save it for Master to drink!" Ayu smiled and shook her head, continuing to walk forward.

"Grandpa Kozuki?" Norton nodded and said nothing more.

Bonnie and Eileen went over and started chatting with Ayu.

After Ayu's description, Bonnie and Eileen's hearts softened.

It turns out that Ayu's parents died a long time ago, and her master adopted her and raised her.

However, due to the current situation in Wano Country, Tama has been living in dire straits, without a single good day.

“Honey… such a poor child… can we adopt her?” Bonnie came back, her maternal instincts surging as she looked at Norton.

"I'm easygoing, it mainly depends on whether they're willing or not," Norton said with a smile and a shrug.

To be honest, adopting Ayu would be a good thing for him.

With Ayu's help, taming the dinosaurs on Dragon Island should be possible without waiting for the contract cards.

Of course, to achieve the state of oneness between man and dragon, you still need to use a contract card.

"That's great!" Bonnie excitedly came up and kissed Norton, then ran over to tell Ayu about it.

“Ayu, if you’re willing, your older sister and brother are willing to adopt you. That way, your master’s burden will be greatly reduced! If you come with us, you won’t have to go hungry or cold anymore! Are you willing?” Bonnie rushed over, snatched the big bowl from Ayu’s hand and handed it to Eileen, then picked her up and asked with a smile.

"Ah, I...I..." Ayu was tempted by what she heard, especially the part about how it could relieve her master's pressure, which made her want to agree right now.

"Who are you!" Suddenly, an old man appeared in front of them, wearing a mask with a long nose, carrying a pair of chicken wings on his back, and wearing height-increasing wooden clogs.

These heels are so high that even women's sky-high heels pale in comparison; only stilts can rival them.

"Put down Ayu!" The old man said sternly, holding a knife in his hand.

"Grandpa Kozuki?" Norton asked tentatively, looking at him.

"What are you talking about? Who is Master Kozuki? Who is Master Kozuki?" The masked old man was clearly flustered when Norton exposed his identity.

"Oh, stop pretending. Others may not know your identity, but I do know a little bit!" Norton waved his hand and walked over, saying, "I came here with only one purpose, which is to teach Kaido a lesson. But now, I have another purpose."

After saying that, Norton stopped in front of Grandpa Kozuki and turned to look at Bonnie.

"Oh!" Bonnie understood immediately, and took a few steps forward while holding Ayu, saying, "Grandpa, we really like Ayu. Can we adopt her? I promise, we can give her the best life! A life where she has no worries about food or clothing! We can even make her very strong!"

“That’s right!” Eileen nodded in perfect unison, then kicked out to her right: “Storm Kick!”

Swah——

A massive slash flew out, snapping a large tree in two.

(Big Tree: Hey! You humans are really dogs... Why don't you just get straight to the point, instead of suddenly kicking me like that...?)

"Wow! Big sister is amazing!" Ayu's eyes lit up even more when she saw it.

In her heart, the scales that favored going with Bonnie and the others tipped even more.

"This..." Seeing this, Grandpa Guangyue put down his knife with some difficulty and looked at Ayu, saying, "Xiaoyu, do you want to go with them?"

“I…” Ayu hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently and said, “If I can go with them, then Master won’t have to worry about me every day.”

"Not only that!" Norton raised his stakes further, "When Ayu becomes stronger, she can come back and protect your master!"

"really?"

These words hit Ayu right where it hurt; her innocent big eyes practically sparkled with joy.

“Of course it’s true! Come on, girl, give Ayu another performance!” Norton reached out and, to the astonishment of Grandpa Guangyue, snatched the knife from his hand and tossed it to Eileen.

Chapter 206 Flowing Sakura Acquired

"Alright!" Eileen caught it casually, quickly activated Armament Haki to cover the sword, and shouted, "Ayu, watch closely! You can become as strong as your sister too!"

"Shh-"

After saying that, he slashed out with his sword!

A massive, dark red slash shot out, cutting down several trees along the way before flying further away.

(The trees: What a mess...)

"Wow--"

Ayu was so excited she was practically drooling, nodding her head frantically like a chick pecking at rice, saying, "I do, I do..."

“Then it’s settled.” Bonnie happily lifted Ayu up and spun her around several times, making the little one giggle.

"The matter is settled. You can send her back now. I'll contact you later," Norton suddenly said.

“Okay.” Eileen handed the knife and bowl to Grandpa Kozuki, and then, to his wide-eyed surprise, she reached out and opened a spatial portal.

"Brother, we're going back now!" With a wave, Eileen went inside.

"Honey, remember to call me when you're done!" Bonnie carried Ayu inside.

"Big sister, this is... wow—"

Grandpa Guangyue only had time to hear Ayu let out an excited cheer before the portal closed.

"You... what is this..." Grandpa Guangyue felt like he was dreaming today.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." Norton smiled apologetically. "My name is Lanchi Norton, the King of the Kingdom of Oycott and one of the leaders of the Free Alliance. You can rest assured that Ayu is with us. In a few years, when she becomes stronger, I will bring her back to be with you."

Grandpa Kozuki stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Oh... I've never heard of it, but it sounds very powerful. By the way, what are you going to do next?"

Norton looked up at the large chimneys, narrowed his eyes, and sneered, "Give Kaido a big gift! But before that, I can help your Amigasa Village solve its immediate crisis."

Grandpa Guangyue was overjoyed and asked, "How can we solve this urgent problem?"

“Two options.” Norton raised his hand and held up two fingers. “First, I can go there right now and deliver a full meal to everyone in Bianli Village.”

Grandpa Kozuki nodded and pressed on, "And what about second place?"

Norton said calmly, "Secondly, if they are willing to leave Amigasa Village, I can temporarily send them to a safe place to live, and they can return after Wano Country is liberated by someone a few years from now."

"Should we leave our hometown?" Grandpa Guangyue thought of what had just happened.

“Yes, we need to leave our hometown.” Norton nodded and said seriously, “I think it’s easier to accept leaving our hometown to survive than to die.”
