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

This time he's going to go in person and personally go to set off the cannons.

At this time, the Free Alliance had already flown to the vicinity of the Sky Island and was very close to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Not long after, the bombers took off with the help of Todd and several airmen.

Guided by satellite, the bombers flew precisely over Mary Geoise.

Chapter 298 let it slip

"Captain, we've reached the bombing zone!" the co-pilot shouted from the side.

"Throw the bomb! Blow them up! His Majesty is right, we're happy today, hahaha..." Todd laughed and raised his hand to press the bomb bay button.

The bomb bay opened, and the bombardier immediately dropped the activated thermobaric bomb.

whoosh-

whoosh-

whoosh-

Several thermobaric bombs were dropped, accompanied by whistling sounds, as they fell toward the Holy Land of Mary Geoise below.

The guards below heard the sound from afar, looked up in surprise, and didn't understand what the sound meant.

"Oh no! Stop those things!"

Suddenly, one of the guards, who had strong Observation Haki, shouted with a drastic change in expression.

Everyone then realized that whatever fell would likely have considerable force if it hit their land.

"Fire!"

"Bang bang bang..."

In an instant, everyone with a gun started firing into the air.

But their guns have limited range, so how could they possibly hit a thermobaric bomb that is falling at high speed?

shhhhh--

Immediately afterwards, a series of slashes flew into the sky, attempting to intercept the thermobaric bomb.

Unfortunately, none of them had encountered this situation: without a lead time attack, all attacks would simply land behind the thermobaric bombs.

"Oh no... we can't stop them... run! Get away from the landing point!"

Seeing that their attempts to stop them were unsuccessful, some people started shouting.

In an instant, everyone ran towards the distance of the landing point.

Lord Im, who was in the palace, narrowed his eyes slightly, then suddenly opened them wide.

Swah——

Just as a thermobaric bomb was about to land on the open ground in front of the palace, an extremely cold aura suddenly spread out.

This cold aura is even colder than the temperature of the Kuzan Ice-Ice Fruit.

The thermobaric bomb was frozen solid the moment it entered the icy air.

When the thermobaric bomb landed on the ground, it simply shattered with a "crack" and did not explode as expected.

However, although the palace was saved, the thermobaric bombs that landed elsewhere still exploded into several huge fireballs.

The terrifying explosion instantly swept across the surrounding area, engulfing buildings and Celestial Dragons alike, who were met with chilling screams.

"Done! Return to base!" Todd looked down at the situation, nodded in satisfaction, and pulled the control stick to return to base.

They knew exactly how many thermobaric bombs they had dropped.

They also knew that there might still be powerful individuals remaining on the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, so not all the thermobaric bombs might detonate completely.

Now that he sees one less bomb that didn't explode, Todd is already content.

Norton, who was in his study, had also witnessed this scene.

He was watching the satellite broadcast, and he saw it very clearly.

The thermobaric bomb that was about to hit the palace was clearly attacked by a burst of cold air in an instant, which is why it did not detonate successfully.

Norton fell silent.

He was thinking, and he was thinking about it according to the rules of Devil Fruits in the One Piece world.

Devil Fruits with ice attributes: the top-ranked Devil Fruit is Kuzan's Ice-Ice Fruit, and the lower-ranked Snow-Snow Fruit.

Although the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) can also launch ice-attribute attacks, strictly speaking, it is not an ice-attribute attack, but rather comes from the cold and gloomy energy of the underworld.

This is so inconsistent with the character Oodai's (the author of the novel) setting for Devil Fruits!

Take a look at the fire-attribute fruits in the ice-attribute fruit team, from the Magma-Magma Fruit to the Flame-Flame Fruit, the Heat-Heat Fruit, the Melt-Melt Fruit, plus the Phoenix's strange fire and the fire-attribute fruits that explode upon impact.

A comparison of the two sides makes it easy to see that there are too few ice-type attributes.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Lord Im's Devil Fruit ability is also ice-based, because Norton saw in his previous life that at the beginning of the World Conference, there was a scene where Lord Im entered a room to look at the giant straw hat.

That room was freezing cold, covered in frost.

According to Norton's analysis, if Luffy possesses the Sun God Nika Fruit, representing passion and joy, then Lord Im is the owner of the Moon God Fruit, representing extreme cold and ruthlessness.

Given that Oo Dai's manga draws inspiration from the mythologies of many countries, it's highly likely that Im-sama's Moon Goddess Fruit borrowed the chill of the Moon Palace.

So, after thinking for a long time, Norton came to this conclusion.

Lord Im activated his Devil Fruit power, freezing the cloud bomb.

"An ice-attribute fruit ability? The special attribute of the Sun God Nika Fruit is that the happier you are, the stronger it becomes. Correspondingly, the Moon God Fruit, could it be that the more ruthless you are, the stronger it becomes? No wonder that guy Im can destroy Ohara and an entire country so easily..."

Having reached a conclusion, Norton stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

"Brother Norton, what is the Sun God Nika Fruit?" A curious voice suddenly rang out beside Norton.

Norton habitually chimed in, "It's Luffy's Devil Fruit ability. Before it awakened, it looked like the Gum-Gum Fruit, but it's actually... um?"

Halfway through his sentence, Norton suddenly snapped out of his daze and turned to look at Luffy, who was standing beside him in shock.

"Damn it..."

Norton was startled and jumped back two meters: "When did you get here, kid? Didn't I tell you to cultivate?"

"Ah... I finished my drink and wanted to come back for more..." Luffy said, his eyes wide, then realized what he meant and shouted, "Wait! That's not the point! Norton, what the heck were you talking about? My Devil Fruit isn't the Gum-Gum Fruit, it's the Sun God Nika Fruit? What's going on?"

"Ah, this..."

Norton was speechless.

I was so engrossed in thinking that I let my guard down in my study.

Oh no, I let it slip.

"Brother Norton!" Luffy rushed over anxiously, wrapping his legs around Norton's waist and hanging on him, shaking him violently while grabbing Norton's shoulders.

"Well... actually... that..."

Norton glanced sideways at Bonnie.

"Look here!" Luffy grabbed Norton's face, forcefully turning him back, and glared at him. "I've already told you, what are you hiding? Tell me now, it's urgent! I'm waiting online!"

Goodness, Luffy was so anxious that he even used one of Norton's usual catchphrases.

"We're curious too!"

Bonnie and Nojiko also came over, staring at Norton curiously.

Norton's words seemed to have opened a door to a new world for them, igniting their curiosity.

Norton looked left, then right, and finally rolled his eyes at Luffy riding on him and sighed, "Sigh... fine... I said, you better get off me."

Chapter 299 Watch me kill him!

"Oh!" Luffy grinned and quickly jumped down, standing on the ground and looking up at Norton.

“It’s like this…” Norton turned and returned to his throne, gesturing for everyone to sit down as well, and then said, “Devil Fruits actually have a hierarchy and a god-like system. For example…”

Norton reached into the fruit bowl and picked up a chestnut, saying, "Bonnie's Devil Fruit ability allows her to transform a person into an old woman, a young man, or a child through touch."

“Yes.” Bonnie nodded upon hearing this, as everyone already knew.

"Actually, Bonney's Devil Fruit is a Time-based Devil Fruit, and there are several types of them. For example, Zephyr has a female disciple whose Devil Fruit ability is also a Time-based Devil Fruit, the Rewind Fruit. People or objects she touches will rewind. People will rewind to childhood, and objects will rewind to before they were formed."

"The Rust-Rust Fruit is also a type of Time Fruit, which can make objects rust when touched."

"Then there is the Fruit of Time, which allows you to jump through time by touching people."

Having said all that in one breath, Norton looked at everyone and asked, "Did you understand?"

Everyone nodded to show they understood, but no one spoke. They sat there obediently, like curious children, listening to the story.

"Now let's talk about Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit. Based on my previous discussion, you should know that Devil Fruits are generally ranked. But! Strangely, the Gum-Gum Fruit doesn't have a ranking! Its rubber-like properties are actually just a disguise, a name that's been given on its own."

"In fact, Luffy's Devil Fruit ability is the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Sun God Nikka form, which can materialize his imagination. It is known as the most outrageous Devil Fruit. The ability to enlarge his body is just one of its features."

"Think about it, what are the basic attributes of the sun god Nika?"

At this point, Norton posed a question.

"It's the sun!" Luffy raised his hand to answer quickly, as it concerned him and he listened very carefully.

“Yes.” Norton nodded. “When you went to the Sky Island to fight, didn’t you defeat a guy who could use lightning?”

“Mhm…” Luffy nodded vigorously: “He is the owner of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Enel. That arrogant guy actually called himself a god, he deserves a beating.”

"You're not afraid of lightning not because you're a rubber man, but because you're the user of the Sun God Nika Fruit. Do you think the Sun God would be afraid of lightning?" Norton posed another question.

“No way, how could the sun god be afraid of lightning?” Bonnie said this time.

“Yes.” Norton nodded again: “The Sun God Nika is not afraid of lightning, nor is he afraid of high temperatures. Think about it carefully, when faced with fire-attribute attacks, did the rubber, which should have been instantly ignited, actually ignite? And the Devil Fruit ability you developed yourself, doesn’t it have a burning attribute?”

Luffy's eyes widened instantly, as if a lock had been unlocked in his head. He nodded rapidly again, like a machine gun, almost slamming his head into Norton's face.

"So remember this: your Devil Fruit is the Sun God Nika Fruit, the most outrageous, god-level fruit that can materialize imagination." Norton brushed Luffy's head aside and said seriously, "So during this closed-door training, you must not only increase your own strength but also strive to develop your Devil Fruit ability. And there's one more crucial point..."

At this point, Norton gave Luffy a bright smile and said, "Your Devil Fruit ability is a god-level fruit that represents freedom and a sunny smile. The brighter your smile, the stronger your ability. So in all your training and battles to come, you must maintain the heart of a strongman and a bright smile! Understand?"
