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

After Norton finished his announcement, he instructed Yixiao and the others to arrange for people to come up quickly and collect the Devil Fruits.

For the next hour, Norton once again witnessed the birth of the bizarre fruit with a headache.

Unicorns, winged tigers, giant bats, giant spiders, Blastoises, Beedrills...

It's off... completely off...

What the hell did they purify out of here...?

The sheer number of Pokémon forms made Norton's eyelids twitch.

No, to be precise, Norton's eyelids twitched, but he was secretly overjoyed.

Because Pokémon-type Devil Fruits aren't just simple Zoan-type forms; they come with their own type-based attacks.

For example, the guy who was lucky enough to draw the Raichu form turned into a giant Raichu, and he can even use 100,000 volts, can you believe it...

"System girl...you're really going all out...how did you even bring out Gyarados...can it even go into the water?"

When Norton saw that among the last few creatures was a gigantic Gyarados, his lips twitched involuntarily.

Gyarados, that's an aquatic creature.

Appearing suddenly on the ground is just so abrupt, okay?

It was splashing and thrashing around, leaving everyone speechless.

"Wait a minute..." Looking at Gyarados, Norton suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Holy crap... I suddenly understand why Kaido's Devil Fruit is called the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type: Azure Dragon Mode! Isn't this a tribute to Pokémon? Magikarp will eventually evolve into Gyarados?! Wow... what a huge surprise..."

The more Norton thought about it, the clearer his thinking became.

Chapter 240 Launching Satellites

Kaido's skills are basically identical to Gyarados's skills, aren't they?

Urban tornadoes, jet flames, destructive beams, electromagnetic waves...

They also perform rainmaking and levitation...

The only difference is that Gyarados's Flying type only allows it to float on land; it can't actually fly...

You...

We've been exposed...

Oh my god, what have I unearthed by accident...?

Norton was a bit confused, especially when he saw the last soldier, who had turned into a giant Psyduck...

At that moment, he felt as if the system had brought over the entire Pokémon universe...

That's just ridiculous... ┓(-_-)┏

After dealing with the matter of the thousand Devil Fruits, it was 1:30 PM.

Large numbers of pedestrians began to appear on King's Road, chatting and laughing as they walked toward the back of the palace.

Those were members of the public who had been invited to watch the rocket launch, and their conversation was filled with anticipation.

On the observatory behind the palace, the photography crew had already set up, with all their lenses pointed at the rocket standing in the main square.

Behind them were the kings of the various member states; this was the best vantage point for observation.

At 1:50, the portal opened on the observatory, and Norton, Bonnie, Erin, Nojigo, Bellemere, Colt, Ichisho, Karp, Raul, Dusen, and others walked out of the portal one after another.

"King Norton."

"King Norton, it's been a while! You've become more and more majestic and imposing!"

"King Norton, it's been a long time."

Upon seeing Norton's arrival, the kings all came over to greet him with beaming smiles.

Neptune chuckled as he held his wine glass, watching Norton chat and laugh among the kings.

Hancock, standing next to Shirahoshi, also had a look of amazement in her eyes.

Lately, for some reason, Norton's heroic image has been frequently appearing in her mind.

“King Norton, Kuma asked me to inform you that he has left. It seems the World Government has something for him to do. He said he couldn't not show up, so he left.” After greeting everyone, Vegapunk leaned over and whispered.

Norton frowned. "How is that possible? Didn't you cut off contact with the World Government a long time ago?"

Vegapunk shrugged helplessly: "My connection was indeed cut off a long time ago, but the Den Den Mushi in Kuma's hand has been there all along."

"Okay... I understand." Nodding, Norton pondered to himself, "The World Government probably sent him to inform Gecko Moria and invite him to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

“Your Majesty, it’s almost time,” Miki said as she walked over.

Norton nodded, picked up the microphone, and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, an exciting moment is about to begin! This is a great day for our Kingdom of Oicot, and indeed for the entire Free Alliance! Without further ado, please join the Kings in witnessing this epoch-making moment!"

After he finished speaking loudly, a rapid drumbeat sounded from the loudspeaker.

Immediately afterwards, Uta took to the stage halfway up the mountain to showcase her singing talent, performing a song that ignited the crowd even more.

By the time the song was finished, it was exactly 2 PM.

"Come on! Let's count down together! I'll start, everyone shout with me! Ten!"

"Nine……"

"Eight……"

"three……"

"two……"

"one……"

The people, along with the king and his ministers, followed Norton in a countdown.

The moment he finished shouting "One!", Norton roared, "Ignite!"

After shouting, Norton also launched the rocket through the system.

boom--

As the sound faded, the thrusters beneath the rocket spewed out scorching flames.

Even from a great distance, the people around felt a gust of air blowing, making their hair and clothes flutter.

"It flew! It really flew!"

"so amazing!"

"Long live His Majesty the King!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the rocket slowly ascended into the sky.

After a burst of ignition and acceleration, the rocket ascended faster and higher.

On the observatory, all the kings took out their telescopes and looked up at the sky.

Shortly after, the first thruster completed its mission and detached, while the second thruster continued to propel itself upwards.

The kings had telescopes to see, but the common people had to work hard.

They can only see it with the naked eye, and they can't see it clearly.

But this did not deter their curiosity, because there was a live video feed displayed on a large screen nearby.

That was the main view taken by the camera mounted on the rocket. People could clearly see that as the rocket flew out of the atmosphere, a huge blue planet appeared in the lens.

Is that the planet we live on?

"so beautiful!"

"This is the first time I've ever seen what our planet looks like!"

"Yes, yes...it was round after all..."

"That slanted red band, that must be the Red Line continent..."

On the observatory, the kings discussed the matter with expressions of amazement.

Norton wasn't involved; he was watching the big screen with a smile.

As he himself said before, this moment was absolutely epoch-making and exciting.

With this thing in the sky, Norton and his team can take the initiative.

With the addition of Radar Den Den Mushi, who can easily shake the Kingdom of Oicot and the Free Alliance?

Internal collapse?

That's impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime!

As the housing renovation plan of the Free Union progresses, everyone in the Free Union will live in new houses in the future.

Wouldn't their loyalty skyrocket?

They even want to disintegrate from within...

It's okay when you're dreaming!

A dozen minutes later, the satellite successfully entered orbit and officially began its deployment.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Fireworks that had been prepared beforehand shot into the sky at that moment.

At this moment, the people and the kings realized that the satellite had been successfully launched!

"Oh!!!!!"

The cheers exploded like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing.

Whether they were watching live at the venue, or in the central square and the screening squares of the member states, everyone cheered.

At times like these, the Air Force dares not carry any.

Because their follow-up tasks are not yet complete!

They had to ensure the safety of the detached thruster section.

The security team also stood guard at their posts, not daring to slack off for a moment.
