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

"Is that so? Then let's grill it some more. I wonder if this guy's meat will taste good!" Ace muttered, turning around to chase after it: "Hey, don't run away!"

A dozen or so beetles, each one like a small house, charged around like tanks.

However, after the initial contact and understanding of these guys' fighting style and defense limits, dealing with them became much easier.

Boom...

With the last beetle killed, the battle ended.

The group arrived in front of the bug that Ace had killed, staring wide-eyed and sniffing.

This thing was indeed cooked through; it lay there like a giant, steamed crab, all red and steaming.

Vista swallowed hard, stepped forward, and suddenly leaped up, swinging his sword several times.

shhhhh--

clack clack...

With a flash of sword light, a huge insect shell was cleaved open and fell off, revealing the fragrant meat inside.

Chapter 314 This guy has a problem

"This thing... I hope it won't kill anyone if I eat it..."

Vista took a deep sniff and looked at Marco.

Marco's fruit is quite special, so having him test for poison is the best approach.

Even if it's poisonous, he can evaporate it immediately with the Phoenix Flame.

Amu—

Marco, carrying the hopes of the entire village, strode forward, cut off a piece of fragrant insect meat with his knife, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes, and savored it carefully.

The crowd gathered around Marco, staring intently at him, waiting for his conclusion.

A dozen seconds later, Marco opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling, and said, "Delicious! So delicious! A dozen seconds later, my stomach and my body told me that this insect meat is non-toxic!"

"Non-toxic? Are you sure?"

Everyone was startled and took a step back, keeping a certain distance from Marco.

What's with those expressions?

Marco looked at them with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Whitebey took out a mirror and placed it in front of Marco so that he could see for himself.

Marco stared in astonishment at the mirror, and suddenly felt terrible.

Because a small purple flower had suddenly sprouted on his forehead.

The little flower is still a bud, but it looks like it will bloom soon.

"Poisonous!" With a glare, Marco's body burst into flames of immortality, and the little flower quickly detached from his body, falling to the ground and turning to ash.

"It smells so good... but I can't eat it... 5555..."

"Sigh... Let's go... Maybe there's something to eat on this planet?"

"What a disappointment..."

Seeing this, everyone shook their heads in disappointment and prepared to turn and leave.

boom--

But just then, Marco's flames suddenly flared up a little, startling him so much that he trembled.

"What's going on?" The white-bearded man turned his head in astonishment.

"Dad... it seems my Devil Fruit ability has improved a little." Marco carefully sensed it and then looked at Whitebeard and the others with a look of surprise.

"You mean...this meat can enhance Devil Fruit abilities?"

"No way, is it really that amazing?"

"If that's the case, I can eat a bug myself!"

This news immediately excited everyone else.

"I'll have some too!"

Ace made his move immediately.

He also used a knife to cut off a piece of meat, then put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Mmm...delicious, delicious, it's really delicious!" Ace praised as he ate, but his hands didn't stop; he cut off another piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing his actions, everyone was almost unable to resist their cravings.

This time, a small flower also appeared on Ace's forehead, which was burned away after Ace transformed into his elemental form.

One minute later...

boom--

The flames on Ace's body also suddenly surged, and the temperature seemed to rise as well.

"It's gone up! It's really gone up!" Ace exclaimed in delight. "Even though it blooms, the effect is truly powerful!"

"Gurgle... This is some interesting insect meat! So everyone, let's not wait any longer, go and eat! If anyone gets flowers growing on their skin, go see Marco for treatment."

With a wave of his hand, the white-bearded man swarmed forward and quickly stripped the insect naked, leaving only its flesh on the ground.

Faced with this temptation, the entire Whitebeard Pirates pounced on it, some with their hands, some with their swords, and they all began to devour the food.

Before long, the Whitebeard Pirates were transformed into the Flower Pirates, with each of their members' heads covered in flowers.

Don't panic!

After everyone had finished eating, Marco threw out a ball of fire that enveloped everyone.

In no time at all, all the little flowers on their heads fell off and turned to ashes.

Boom boom boom boom...

In a short period of time, the power and ability of the nurtured individuals both achieved breakthroughs.

From this, Whitebeard saw a huge business opportunity.

“If we were to sell this insect meat…” After Ace finished speaking, the eyes of the entire Whitebeard Pirates turned into a golden “¥” shape.

"That's a great idea! We can contact King Norton later; he should be very willing to do this deal!" Whitebeard nodded in agreement, then waved his hand and said, "Let's continue, children! Let this planet be our first stop in conquering the stars!"

"it is good!"

The crowd cheered and charged forward with renewed vigor.

On a red planet amidst the vast expanse of stars.

The Vinsmoke family's giant ship appeared on this planet.

"This planet is amazing! After testing, we found it has plenty of resources we need!" Yongzhi excitedly disembarked from the ship, shouting as he ran across the land, "This place will belong to us! It'll all be ours!"

Behind him, Judge and the others also came down.

"This place is great! Come on, everyone, get down and let's get to work!" Judge stomped his foot on the ground, looked around, and nodded in satisfaction. "King Norton was right. The richest place is indeed the starry sea!"

Upon receiving the order, the clone army immediately sprang into action, dismantling machinery and beginning mining and drilling.

"Report! Enemy forces spotted!"

Suddenly, a clone guard noticed the situation.

"Oh? We've already encountered space pirates so soon?" Ichiji excitedly moved his hand and put on his battle suit first.

"Prepare for battle!" Judge shouted, and a squad of armed guards immediately disembarked from the ship.

Not long after, a small spaceship stopped not far from where they were.

Then the hatch opened, and several guys who looked a lot like the Mink Tribe got out.

They approached warily and stopped in front of Ichi and the others, who were on high alert.

"We apologize for bothering you, but we just wanted to ask if you have seen any of our people?" Soon, a fur-clad man in a suit with a dog's head on his head stepped forward very politely to ask.

“They really are the Mink Tribe!” Nijge turned to look at his father.

Judge stepped forward and said, "We just arrived here. We only encountered you along the way, and we didn't meet anyone from any other faction."

"Oh! I see!" The kobold nodded, pondered for a few seconds, and then said, "If you see them, please tell them that our captain is waiting for their return!"

After saying this, the kobold bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Reiju suddenly said to the soldier beside her, "Prepare to fire, this guy is suspicious."

Sure enough, when the kobolds returned to their own spaceship, a group of people immediately jumped out and attacked the Vinsmoke family.

"They've come! Kill them all!" Judge brandished his spear, and the clone soldiers charged forward first.

Under the fearless counterattack of the clones, the aggressive aliens were quickly routed and forced to retreat in disarray.

Chapter 315 Upgrade Completed

This situation seems to have been within Judge's calculations.

"Go! Don't let them get away!"

Judge waved his hand again, and Reiju, Yonji, and the others, dressed in their combat suits, immediately rushed forward.

"What's going on with these guys...where do they get their influence?"

"I don't know, their technology doesn't seem to be any worse than ours!"

"I feel like I've seen this combat suit somewhere before!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here! We can't win!"

On the small spaceship, several Mink shouted and yelled before ordering their men to retreat and run away.

Unfortunately, Reiju and Ichiji didn't think that way!

They were incredibly fast; the four of them flew close to the ground to the small spaceship and then launched their attacks.
