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

Norton has done this countless times throughout his life! Whenever he has something good, he pulls me aside to a quiet place and secretly gives it to me alone.

"You knew that already? You brat!" Norton chuckled, flicking Nami's nose. He then casually pulled out the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and a card, saying, "The fruit is a Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which will allow you to use lightning more freely. You should be familiar with the card. Here you go."

Chapter 247 The Matchmaker's Promise

Norton made this decision in that instant: giving the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to his little sister was perfectly reasonable!

Why did I spoil my little sister so much?

Having grown up in a sheltered environment, she was rebellious and adventurous, and had no desire to calmly follow Norton's fleet to draw world charts.

It's so exciting now! You can go on adventures, fight, and experience all the flavors of life. In short, it's thrilling!

"Great! Thank you, brother!" Nami's beautiful eyes lit up, and she excitedly rushed over, jumped up, kissed Norton, and then picked up the fruit and took a bite.

"Ugh... This is awful..." Nami stuck out her tongue in pain after taking a bite.

"Alright, one bite is enough! Use the card!" Norton snatched the half-eaten Devil Fruit and put it away, then handed the card to her, saying, "Remember, you are now a navigator who can control lightning, so don't easily reveal that you are a Devil Fruit user. Once you do, remember to silence them."

"Don't worry, I'll hide it very well!" Nami chuckled and picked up the card, sticking it to her forehead.

With the curse removal card in effect, from now on, if Luffy and his crew fall into the water, Nami can go down to rescue them without fear of being discovered to be a Devil Fruit user.

Norton's expression suddenly changed, and he said seriously, "Remember this: if you really encounter a powerful enemy, don't be too low-key. Go all out! If you can't beat them and get bullied, don't blame me for parachuting in to take you back! I'm letting you go out and have fun, not letting you risk your life to be bullied by others, understand?"

"Got it... Come on, let's go back! I've missed you guys so much..." Nami stuck out her tongue, then took Norton's arm and walked back chatting and laughing.

Meanwhile, the open-air banquet area was ready, and Luffy and his crew had already gathered around the food, waiting for Norton to return.

"Alright, everyone, let's eat! Eat however you like today, but tomorrow, I won't be taking care of you!" Norton said, waving his hand as he took his seat.

"it is good!"

"Let's eat!"

"cheers!"

"Haha...uh..."

Amid cheers and laughter, the banquet began.

“Teacher, Hawkeye is planning to settle down with me. Would you and your wife like to come over too?” Norton asked, holding a glass of wine as he approached Rayleigh.

“Hawkeye? That’s unlikely! How could he…” Rayleigh looked at Norton in astonishment.

“Hey! Why not! Your apprentice is so outstanding now, he can’t wait to spar with me every day! Besides…” Norton said, leaning close to Rayleigh’s ear, “I’ve also brought Vegapunk over here, he has lots of fun things to do. And there’s Grandpa Garp and Granny Crane… Their wedding is in a few days, and at the same time, your apprentice will also be getting married, aren’t you coming?”

“No way… Garp and Tsuru… cough cough… As the king, you should take a wife, otherwise it won’t sound good.” Rayleigh coughed and glanced at Shakky, seemingly unintentionally: “Of course, I will definitely go when you take a wife.”

"Then you and your master's wife, shouldn't you hurry up and get things done? When will this couple ever end? You're both getting on in years, stop being so willful! Look at Grandpa Garp and Granny Crane... huh? Right!" Norton raised an eyebrow, constantly gesturing towards Shakky.

"Uh... well... how about you give me a hand?" Rayleigh was a little embarrassed by the question and only managed to stammer out this after a long pause.

“No problem! Just watch!” Norton was overjoyed, picked up his wine glass and ran over to Shakky.

She is, after all, the former Queen of the Women's Kingdom. She has stayed here with Rayleigh for so long, so it's time to give her an answer.

Shaki was sitting next to Bellemere at the moment, and the women were having a lot to talk about.

“Aunt Xia!” Norton called out and sat down, then gave Bellemere a look.

Bellemere received her son's look, frowned and thought for a moment, then noticed Norton looking at Riley and Shakky, and instantly understood what her eldest son was up to.

"That brat, looks like he's going to play matchmaker again..." Bellemere thought to herself, annoyed, but couldn't help but laugh.

“Aunt Xia.” Norton felt relieved when he saw Bellemere smile.

"What?" Xia Qi exhaled a puff of smoke and tilted her head to the side.

Norton said in a low voice, "My master was too embarrassed to speak up, so he specially took this opportunity to send me here to deliver a message."

"Oh? What did you say?" Shakky glanced at Rayleigh with interest.

“It’s very simple, and very straightforward!” Norton glanced at Rayleigh and whispered, “When Master heard that a few days later, Grandpa Garp was going to marry Granny Crane, and I was also preparing to take a concubine at the same time, the words that had been hidden in my heart for a long time were suddenly brought out! He said that he also wanted to marry you, and the sooner the better!”

"Is there really such a good thing? Has he suddenly become enlightened?" Xia Qi was a little skeptical.

“Hey! Why don’t you believe me? Just you wait!” Norton said, then suddenly turned and shouted, “Isn’t that right, teacher?”

Rayleigh's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly nodded with a smile, his old face turning slightly red.

Shakky opened her mouth in surprise, her pretty face suddenly turning red: "This old guy, he's really come to his senses! What did you just say, that Garp and you got married on the same day?"

Here it comes!

"Yes!"

Norton nodded with a grin.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Xia Qi stubbed out her cigarette and gritted her teeth, saying, "Would you mind if another couple got married together?"

"Not at all! Of course not!" Norton was overjoyed and quickly took out a pack of S-grade cigarettes and handed it over: "Since you've said so, then it's settled. I'll go tell the teacher the good news! Tomorrow, I'll send someone over to take you to try on your wedding dress!"

After saying that, Noah got up and happily returned to Rayleigh's side.

"Great news, teacher, great news!" As soon as he sat down, Norton grabbed Riley's arm and shook it vigorously.

Rayleigh said with a wry smile, "Hurry up and tell me, stop shaking me, or I'll end up like Shanks!"

(Red-haired Shanks: Are you being polite?)

"After I finished talking to my teacher's wife, guess what..." Norton deliberately set the stage for something else.

"What did she say?" Rayleigh swallowed, suddenly becoming somewhat nervous.

After winking and making faces for a while, Norton said with a grin, "My master's wife said that in a few days you'll be getting married along with us! We'll have a wedding where all three of you get married at the same time!"

"Huh? Is she that brave?" Rayleigh couldn't help but look at Shakky in amazement, only to be met with a provocative look, and he quickly turned back away.

It seems this old bachelor had been planning this for a while; he'd been maintaining an ambiguous relationship with Xia Qi all along. It wasn't that he didn't want to make it official, but rather that he didn't know how.

There's nothing we can do about it. Rayleigh has been a bachelor for decades, and he's still a virgin. He's the kind of guy who can repel monsters with a single pee.

This was great, doubly good. When Rayleigh got into a good mood, he didn't even need a cup to drink anymore.

Chapter 248 Please give me some face!

This really put them in a bind.

Norton has brought out an SS-grade 70-liter baijiu this time.

This stuff is enough to kill an ordinary person with just one sip, but Rayleigh, unsurprisingly, got drunk before the banquet was even over...

There's nothing we can do, Comrade Lei is happy.

The emotions that had been building up in his heart for years were finally released with the help of his apprentice.

Now that the ambiguous relationship between him and Xia Qi has been settled, he couldn't be happier.

Especially before he passed out, a drunken Rayleigh, with his eyes glazed over, grabbed Norton and rambled on for quite a while.

This made Xia Qi extremely embarrassed, and she left halfway through her meal in a huff.

Luffy and his crew don't care about any of that. When faced with food, Luffy, Chopper, Usopp, and the others' IQ drops to almost zero.

Sanji, meanwhile, busied himself getting close to Trish, fawning over her while commenting on the food and giving pointers on the young girl's cooking skills.

Zoro was even more of a sight to behold; he sat there with a bottle of sake, enjoying his food with sips and bites of food.

Rayleigh was completely drunk, while Zoro was still leisurely sipping his wine.

Then look at Nami and the others. They were perfectly normal, treating the gathering like a family picnic, eating and chatting happily.

Bonney, Irene, Nojiko, and Nami surrounded Bellemere, bursting into laughter every now and then; it was incredibly heartwarming.

Little brothers Gal and Ayu didn't come to this gathering; they were both diligently cultivating beside Miki.

Because Ayu always says she wants to become stronger, and she occasionally mocks Gar for only knowing how to play, saying that boys shouldn't be strong.

So Gal's temper was also provoked, and he decided to start learning from Miki alongside Ayu.

The meal lasted from noon until the afternoon. Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp were all stuffed up like balloons, looking absolutely hilarious.

"Alright, you guys continue your adventure! We're going back!" Before leaving, Norton glanced at them, speechless.

"Hiccup..." Luffy waved his arms, only able to hiccup, unable to say a word.

Luffy was afraid that if he opened his mouth, the food he had already eaten would definitely spit out.

Nami hugged Bellemere, then hugged her sister-in-law and sisters before waving goodbye and watching them leave.

After Norton and the others left, Luffy and his crew, feeling bored, went shopping and strolled around.

So, fueled by a bit of alcohol, Luffy slapped the arrogant Celestial Dragon again, and the drunken Zoro was even more terrifying, cutting down a Celestial Dragon directly.

In the original story, when Zoro was about to kill someone, Bonney, who had turned evil, jumped out and stopped him.

Bonney didn't turn evil this time, so no one jumped out to stop her in time. With no one stopping her, Zoro drew his sword immediately.

This is going to be interesting!

The Celestial Dragons had already lost a lot of people to Norton's bombing, so they kept a low profile for a while afterward.

They had just resurfaced and started showing off when Luffy and his crew taught them a lesson again.

There's nothing we can do about it; human traffickers can never be completely eradicated.

To save Hachi and Camie, even though he wasn't slightly drunk, Luffy still beat up that annoying Celestial Dragon.

In fact, the person Zoro was about to kill and the Celestial Dragon that Luffy later fought were actually the same person in the original work.

However, because of the trouble Norton caused, there was one more Celestial Dragon who came out to venture his fury this time.

Therefore, the person Zoro cuts down and the person Luffy beats up are not the same person!

Therefore, unsurprisingly, the unexpected still happened.

Admiral Kizaru received the order and reluctantly came to reorganize Sabaody Archipelago.

A whole host of supernovas are in trouble!

Those who wanted to escape failed, and those who were unaware of the situation also suffered.

When Kizaru finally found Luffy after dealing with those Supernovas, he ran into a problem.
