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

"What? You locked Kaido up here?" Hancock's eyes widened in surprise. "How could someone like that be..."

“No problem!” Ace shook his head and said, “Alright, as long as you know Luffy is here, you should leave now. Staying too long will arouse suspicion.”

"Okay, then I'm leaving." Hancock nodded, turned around, and left decisively.

Not long after Hancock left, the prison guards came back and took Ace away from there, heading to Marineford.

At this moment, Luffy had already begun to take action.

He was very clear about the purpose of his trip, so he didn't hold back much when he started to fight.

The next morning, Norton woke up.

"System, check in."

[Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained 6 Mental Enhancement Cards!]

"Wow, why are you giving so much all at once?" Norton was quite surprised to hear the amount.

[Ding! One of the system's hidden attributes is that the reward doubles when the host's country develops to a certain level. The host's country has already achieved flight and controls the East and North Seas, significantly increasing its development level and fulfilling the conditions for triggering the hidden attribute.]

[Ding! Hidden Attribute Revealed: Level Two, Winery. All those who regularly drink wine produced by this winery will have a significant chance of greatly increasing their affinity towards the host, regardless of friend or foe. This hidden attribute will officially take effect in ten minutes.]

"Wow! It really does have hidden attributes. I knew that's why Mihawk stayed here with me so patiently." Norton was delighted and took out three mental enhancement cards, putting one on himself and one on the two women.

Chapter 270 You should know very well

Swah——

The mental enhancement card transformed into a beam of white light and disappeared into Norton's brow. The cool sensation gave Norton a jolt of energy, and any lingering drowsiness was completely dispelled.

The two women also felt the coolness, frowned, and woke up at the same time.

"Get up, wash up, and after breakfast I'll take you out to play!" Norton cheered, grabbing one in each arm and rushing into the bathroom.

"Nolan, locate the small sky island of Visalia for me."

"Good host."

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Norton gave Nolan an order.

Norton is planning to send Nami a Mental Enhancement Card to Visalia. He didn't get any for Nami the previous two times, but now that he does, he has to give his girl one.

Nami had just acquired the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, and with the Mental Enhancement Card, she could quickly master the fruit's power.

"Brother, I want to go with you too!" During the meal, Eileen took a mental enhancement card and stuck it on her forehead.

"Go if you want. There's no mark for you on the little floating island, but you can mark it when you get there." Norton nodded indifferently, then suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "Little sister, won't your brother-in-law be jealous if you go out with your brother?"

"Huh?" Eileen was a little confused by the question.

"Little sister, you eat with your brother every day, won't your husband be angry?"

"what???"

More question marks appeared above Eileen's head.

"Sister, you..."

"Stop, stop, stop... Bro, what's with that high-pitched, sarcastic voice you're using?"

Eileen, feeling a headache coming on, quickly called for a halt.

“Hehehe…” Norton, Bonnie, and Nojiko exchanged a glance, and the three of them grinned mischievously at the same time.

Since Nojiko had become a princess, her position had been moved from next to Irene to the opposite side of the table, where she sat next to Bonnie.

“King Norton, I’ve developed a new gene reagent using Kaido’s blood and King’s blood. Want to try it? It’s really potent!” Vegapunk’s voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.

Norton picked up the walkie-talkie and asked in surprise, "You mean those bloodline factor genes that, after an injection, can enhance the body's defense and self-healing abilities?"

“Yes! It seems King Norton is aware of this as well!” Vegapunk said, clearly finding it amusing.

Norton declined, saying, "I think I'll pass. You can get more for our officers or elite soldiers later. By the way, why don't you give yourself an injection first? Your health doesn't seem to be very good."

"Ah...right, that's settled then! By the way, I've heard about the artificial Devil Fruits. It's not a problem for me. If you want, I can go back to my old ways and make some more." Vegapunk finished speaking and then fell silent.

Norton thought about it and realized that Vegapunk was involved in the creation of artificial Devil Fruits.

After the research team disbanded, Caesar chose to focus on artificial Devil Fruits, Queen chose to create poisons, and Vinsmoke Judge chose to modify the bloodline factor gene.

These three essentially separated from Vegapunk and each mastered a different technology.

Franky received the body-mechanizing modification at this time, after being slapped onto the mechanical island by Kuma.

Only Vegapunk himself has always mastered all the technology, because his Devil Fruit ability is a brain-enhancing fruit.

Before leaving, Norton said goodbye to each department.

Unexpectedly, when Bellemere learned about this, Little Gal and Ayu, who were nearby, overheard it and both shouted that they wanted to go together.

Go ahead and go, it's not a big problem.

Norton's purpose for this trip was twofold: firstly, the appearance of the Mental Enhancement Card was a convenient opportunity to deliver it to Nami.

Another possibility is whether we can lure an old man here, as the Kingdom of Oycot and the entire Free Alliance also need climatology.

Eileen opened a door to the Drum Kingdom, and the group went through. The kingdom was now in the hands of the Free Alliance.

It's closer to start from here!

Norton released the paper boat, grabbed Gar and Ayu, and jumped onto it.

Following behind, Bellemere, Bonnie, Erin, and Nojiko caught up, and the paper boat took off, leaving the Sabaody Archipelago.

With Nolan's guidance, Norton found the small sky island of Visalia very easily.

At this moment, Nami was sitting on the lawn, engrossed in reading a book. Since arriving here, she had calmly analyzed why Uncle Bear had filmed her here.

After she finished learning about it, she was immediately filled with a thirst for knowledge.

If Nami wants to become the world's best navigator, then she needs to have a solid grasp of the relevant knowledge.

Clearly, climatology is one of the essential knowledge bases for navigators!

At the same time, she wasn't worried about her companions' safety. Since it was Uncle Xiong who took action and even specifically filmed her here, it meant that the others had also been filmed by Uncle Xiong onto an island that was advantageous to them.

The only difference is that Nami knows Uncle Kuma won't harm her, so she's not in a hurry. But the others don't know this, and they must be frantic right now.

But what can we do?

"Yo-yo...yo-yo-yo-yo...Little girl...a guest has arrived!" Hareda shouted from afar.

"Oh? A guest?" Nami looked over at the sound and immediately broke into a big smile.

"Ah!!! Bellemere! Brother Norton! Sister-in-law! Sister Irene! Nojiko! Little Gar! How did you find this place!" Nami cheered and ran over with open arms.

"Why are you so agitated? We just separated..." Norton took out the card, raised his hand and pressed it against Nami's forehead, pushing her against his body.

"Oh? What is that?" Nami crossed her eyes and reached out to touch it.

Unfortunately, the card had already turned into a white light and disappeared into her brow.

On the way here, Norton had already told Bellemere the purpose of his trip and asked her if she wanted a mental enhancement card.

Bellemere stated that she was just a lazy empress dowager, not a combatant, so why would she need that thing?

Gar and Ayu are both too young to be of much use for now.

In this way, one card each for Norton, Bonney, Nojiko, Irene, and Nami, with the last one reserved for Angela, and all the cards for this sign-in session are now used up.

"You're so old and still so unsteady!" Bellemere went over and hugged Nami.

"Hehe... In front of you, I'll always be a child!" Nami grinned, quite the smooth talker.

"Since you've been sent here, you should focus on learning. It'll be safer to enter the New World after your entire crew has improved. Others might not know this, but I think you should. Because you and Luffy alone can't travel freely in the New World." After the two parted, Norton gave them this earnest advice.

Chapter 271 Grain Reserve Station

"Yes! I got it! Hehe!" Nami saluted, then laughed and pounced on Nojiko and the others.

Norton then turned to chat with Haredas.

“I see! It’s not impossible. We have no shortage of talent in this area.” After listening to Norton’s request, Haredas stroked his beard and nodded.

"Thank you very much! To show our sincerity, we will invest 100 million Berries in you for continued research and daily expenses." Norton was a generous man; he was even more straightforward than others.

One hundred million Berries is nothing to the Kingdom of Oicot!

A useful person is the most valuable asset to the Kingdom of Oycot.

Now that the Freedom Alliance can fly around everywhere, if there isn't a meteorologist following along to predict the weather, they'll have nowhere to turn if they get caught up in the weather.

After finishing their business, Haredas took Norton to find someone.

The island of Visalia is mostly populated by meteorological researchers, who are generally older, with very few young people.

They wore robes of different colors and patterns, instantly satisfying Norton's aesthetic sense; each person wearing a different color would definitely make up a rainbow.

After Haredas explained Norton's purpose, the group of old men huddled together and discussed for a while before nodding to Haredas again, indicating that Norton could choose whatever he wanted.

We've all been studying this together for so long, and our levels of knowledge are roughly the same, so it doesn't matter who goes.

Norton tilted his head and looked at them, and the old men also tilted their heads and looked at him. After thinking for a moment, they decided to give it a try!

"Let me tell you a story first," Norton said, stroking his chin seriously. "One day, a rabbit went fishing by the river. The first day, it caught nothing and went home. The second day, the rabbit, unwilling to give up, went again, but still caught nothing and went home. The third day, the rabbit returned to the river full of fighting spirit, but before it could even cast its line, a fish jumped out of the water, swung its tail, and slapped the rabbit several times. Then, it angrily said to the rabbit, 'If you use carrots as bait again, I'll beat you every time I see you! I said it!' Then, with a 'plop,' it went back into the water..."

After saying that, Norton shut up and quietly looked at the group of old men in front of him.

One second... two seconds... three seconds...

Five seconds... six seconds...

"Pfft... Hahahaha..."

Finally, an old man in the crowd burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

"It's you!" Norton's eyes lit up. He pushed through the crowd and pulled out the old man wearing a sky-blue robe and top hat with cloud patterns on his clothes.

At this moment, the old man was still laughing so hard he was doubled over and couldn't stop.

The other old men looked at him, and began to think about what Norton had said earlier.
