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

“Yes… I want to go out and uphold justice…” Norton nodded, scratching his head.

"Uphold justice? Who's the target?" Nojiko perked up as well.

Nochiko has recently started to cling to Norton. Now that she's grown up, she's become a beautiful young woman and makes no attempt to hide her charm and affection for Norton.

joke……

Norton has been craving Norton for over a decade.

Although Bonnie emerged midway and became queen, Norton's position as queen has remained vacant for many years.

As the ruler of a country, having only one queen is not impressive enough.

Look at other kings, which one doesn't have a queen or several wives?

Why does her brother only have one queen?

My dear little sister has kept a low profile for so many years, can't she even become a princess?

Having endured the torment of adolescence, Norge not only failed to suppress his infatuation with Norton, but it intensified after Bellemere had a child and he helped take care of her for a while.

She wanted to get married, she wanted to be a mother...

This kind of longing is not something that can be felt during adolescence, but rather a deep-seated desire from within a woman, stemming from her love for Norton over the years.

In addition, recently even her older sister, Princess Irene, has started flirting with that handsome young air force captain, which has made her even more anxious.

Although Norton, a straight man labeled as "faithful," didn't notice Nojiko's unusual behavior, Bonnie, who was also a woman, did.

Seeing Norki laughing and rushing over, clinging to Norton's shoulder without any hesitation, and looking at the newspaper on the table, Bonnie smiled.

She wasn't a jealous woman; on the contrary, after learning about Norton's family background, she felt a little guilty about her sister's infatuation with her man.

It was obvious that my appearance had taken Nojiko's place.

If she hadn't appeared, then barring any unforeseen circumstances, Nojiko would most likely have ended up as queen.

Now that I've taken this seat, how can I not try to find a way to help my kind and understanding younger sister?

Bonnie came to the other side of Norton's chair and sat on the armrest, saying, "If you're going out this time, take Nojiko with you. I think you're getting restless at home."

After saying that, Bonnie and Nojiko exchanged a smile.

The latter stuck out his tongue and chuckled.

Chapter 222 Snitching

“No problem!” Norton nodded nonchalantly. “The main purpose of this trip is to steal Devil Fruits… oh no, I mean to uphold justice. We can start with Big Mom’s crew! Among her Devil Fruit users, there are a few with decent abilities. Since we’re going to fleece them, we should grab one and exploit them to the fullest, right?”

As he spoke, Norton began to consider which fruits he could use.

Speaking of which, the old lady has quite a few good things from the Devil Fruit users.

There are two space-related items that everyone wants to use.

They are the Book-Book Fruit and the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, both of which allow them to create unique spaces to hold people.

These two fruits are Norton's top choices.

However, adhering to the principle of not making a move on women, he really couldn't bring himself to do it to Charlotte Brûlée, a user of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit.

The best way is to capture her, throw her into the prison of the Kingdom of Oycot, and then let the properties of the house influence her!

Therefore, the Book Fruit became the first target if "if you want to steal a fruit, start with it".

Imagine if the Kingdom of Oicot possessed the Book-Book Fruit. If they wanted to attack a certain place, wouldn't they simply send a user with the Book-Book Fruit ability to the target country with a book, open the book, and a large number of soldiers would rush out?

The scene must be hilarious to imagine.

Other fruits that appealed to Norton included the Swamp Fruit, the Sound Fruit, the Stone Fruit, the String Fruit, and so on.

But none of that matters right now. The most important thing is that Ace has been captured.

So after thinking for a while, Norton took out his Den Den Mushi and dialed Kuzan.

Unfortunately, he had Kuzan's number, but he didn't have Sengoku's number.

The only option is to call Kuzan first, and then have him relay the message to Sengoku.

"Hey, what made you think of calling me?" Kuzan's voice came through, completely calm.

Norton chuckled, "Ah! Uncle Kuzan, I just have something I wanted to ask you. I recently saw in the newspaper that Blackbeard captured Ace, so I wanted to ask if he has handed my brother over to you?"

Kuzan said calmly, "Ace? He has indeed been handed over to us. So, are you going to plead for Ace? He was a captain-level figure in the Whitebeard Pirates."

Norton didn't respond to that, but instead changed the subject and directly tattled, saying, "No, no, no, I just wanted to expose Blackbeard's conspiracy!"

"Oh? Tell me about it!" Kuzan immediately became interested.

“That’s right!” Norton said seriously, “The reason Blackbeard did this is actually because there’s a huge conspiracy behind it!”

"When this guy hands over Ace, he might spout some bullshit, saying Ace is Roger's son. That's pure bullshit! Roger had been dead for years when my brother was born! Who can delay having a baby? What a load of rubbish!"

"So if this guy really tells you that, you'd better not believe him! Ace, I watched him grow up! The reason he's telling you this is to make you have a big trial like Roger's execution."

"That would be terrible! To save his godson, Whitebeard would definitely lead his army to attack Marineford. Just think about it, with the Whitebeard Pirates' strength, it would inevitably end up as a lose-lose situation."

"Just then, the old blackbeard jumped out to take advantage of the situation! Yes, that's right, take advantage of the situation! Uncle Kuzan, you may not know this, but blackbeard's old concealment is a bit special. He can possess two different Devil Fruit abilities at the same time. So when you two are fighting to the death and Whitebeard is about to die, he will jump out and steal Whitebeard's ability."

"Of course, Uncle Kuzan, it's too early to be surprised! There's something else you don't know! This old spies will take advantage of the Navy's weakened state before the execution, launch a surprise attack on Impel Down, and rescue a few great pirates to join his crew."

"By then, the Navy and Whitebeard had fought to a standstill, but Blackbeard was the real beneficiary! He not only raided Impel Down, recruiting a group of powerful pirates, but also managed to acquire Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, causing his strength to surge dramatically! Later, he used the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to devour other Devil Fruit users, absorbing their powers and then bestowing them upon his crew members..." qs

"Uncle Kuzan, think about it... think about it carefully! What would be the consequences if Blackbeard, that old sly fox, succeeded?"

After Norton finished speaking in one breath, he saw a large patch of cold sweat running down Kuzan's forehead, hidden beneath the Den Den Mushi's avatar.

He possesses both the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Dark-Dark Fruit abilities, and can also use the Dark-Dark Fruit to steal other people's Devil Fruit abilities and transfer them to his own crew...

"It's chilling to even think about..."

Kuzan didn't speak; it was Sengoku who spoke first.

Norton quipped, "Hmm? Uncle Kuzan? You're not in your own office, but in Uncle Sengoku's office? Tell me, is there some secret between you two?"

"Uh...cough cough cough...you brat, watch your words...you're the one with a secret to hide!" Sengoku was taken aback and said irritably.

“Eh…hehe…” Norton grinned and said, “Since Uncle Sengoku is here too, it saves Uncle Kuzan the trouble of relaying the message.”

"Ah...it's like this...we were just researching Ace's situation." Kuzan said calmly, "Now that you've analyzed Blackbeard's conspiracy so thoroughly, how could we possibly be foolish enough to fall into his trap?"

"Norton, now that you've seen through Blackbeard's scheme, have you also guessed why he did it?" Akainu's voice interrupted.

“Of course I know!” Norton said matter-of-factly, “You all probably know Blackbeard’s full name, right? His name is Marshall D. Teach, the one who went astray in the D. clan. His idea is very simple: to defeat the most powerful person on the sea and then dominate the world. Whether it’s the World Government or the Navy, they are all manipulated by him. To put it bluntly, he didn’t inherit Roger’s will, but Rocks’ will!”

"The D clan... the will of Rocks..." Akainu muttered, then fell silent.

Kizaru chimed in, "Ah...how terrifying...he really is a fearsome schemer! If he succeeds, Marineford will likely be destroyed by an enraged Whitebeard. And our Marines will suffer heavy losses in this battle. Then, Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach, might seize the opportunity to profit from the chaos...oh dear...he's a real headache..."

Chapter 223 Don't let him out.

“Alright, I’m aware of this matter. Thank you for the reminder, King Norton. As for how to handle your brother Ace, we will consider it carefully. I wouldn’t be so foolish as to anger a Sea Emperor.” Sengoku interrupted, “So, tomorrow at noon, we will send Ace to Impel Down. I suppose no one will come to rescue him in the meantime!”

Kuzan chimed in, "That's settled then. Don't forget, we'll be taking Ace to Impel Down tomorrow at noon. Tomorrow at noon... By the way, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, what time are we leaving?"

"After lunch tomorrow, around 1 p.m.," Zhan Guo gave a precise time.

"Okay, that's it, bye." Kuzan finished speaking and hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Norton's staff are completely baffled!

It's better to just tell him, "Come over tomorrow, I'll hand him over to you, and you can do whatever you want with him..."

Transport Ace tomorrow at noon...

They even gave the exact time...

Ah this...

Norton's lips twitched, and he called Whitebeard again.

They had always maintained a close business relationship with Whitebeard.

So they exchanged phone numbers.

Once the call connected, Norton succinctly informed Whitebeard of Ace's capture, Blackbeard's conspiracy, and that the Navy would be transporting Ace to Impel Down at 1 PM the following day.

"Gurarara...King Norton, I, Whitebeard, will remember this favor! I will immediately arrange for someone to rescue Ace! I never expected that bastard Teach would actually speak ill of me! It's truly heartbreaking!" Whitebeard laughed heartily.

Norton reminded him, "Whitebeard, you don't need to say that. Ace was my brother too! And remember this, Ace is not Roger's son! Not Roger's son! Not Roger's son! I'll say it three times!"

"Okay, we'll keep a straight line! Marco, you're the best person to handle this, I'm leaving it to you!" Whitebeard made the arrangements before the call even ended, and then the Den Den Mushi was disconnected.

"Done!" Norton put down the Den Den Mushi with satisfaction, then looked around.

At this moment, Bonnie and Nojiko were sitting on the armrests of the chair, leaning on his shoulders and looking at him.

"What's wrong with you two?" Sensing that something was off about their expressions, Norton scratched his nose.

The two girls chuckled, neither of them saying a word.

“You all heard it just now, so I’ll be going out tomorrow at noon to assist Marco in rescuing Ace. This will both thwart Blackbeard’s plot and thwart the World Government’s plans—a win-win situation.” Norton stood up and walked out. “Has anyone seen where Irene went?”

Noki laughed and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, that little girl should be training with Todd in the back mountain."

"Oh? They really are going to have something going on! That's great!" Norton's face lit up with joy. "Come on, let's sneak a peek?"

The two women's eyes lit up at the news, and they followed Norton with a mischievous grin as they ran out.

Halfway there, Norton also gave Nojiko a combat suit, and the three of them activated their invisibility and ran towards the back mountain.

At the training ground on the back mountain, the UN garrison, under the leadership of Shale, was undergoing intensive training.

Norton and his two companions bypassed them and continued running towards the back of the mountain.

Every now and then, pterosaurs would take flight and then swoop down and disappear into the forest.

However, when the three arrived at the Air Force training ground, they did not find Eileen and Todd.

Norton waved his hand, pointed to the air force personnel, and said softly, "Just look at the eyes of these brats, and you'll know where they are."

The two women looked over and saw that the group of people were indeed glancing in a certain direction, intentionally or unintentionally, and their expressions occasionally revealed envy mixed with amusement.

The three followed the direction the group was looking and soon found two people sitting side by side on a boulder in the woods.
