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

Seeing that everyone's expressions were not good, Norton smiled and said, "Don't be upset, everyone. Even if you don't come with us, it's actually a good thing. With you staying here to keep things running smoothly for the Freedom Alliance, I can feel more at ease."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions softened considerably.

Currently, almost all the kings of various countries have decided to stay and live on Aquamarine.

Even if their loyalty has long reached 100%, they will still make this choice on this issue.

This is not betrayal; it's simply choosing the kind of life they want.

This outcome was actually within Norton's expectations.

Without further hesitation, Norton instructed Angela to fly to the side of the Red Line and land there. Then, using the management ring, he severed the connections between those countries and attached them to the Red Line, making them part of the Red Line.

Mermaid Island is located next to Red Harbor, blending into the sea instead of being underwater.

In the end, only Red Island, Industrial Island, Egghead Island, Cocosia Island, and Dragon Island remained to be landed on after flying to the top.

That afternoon, the new generation of management also completed the handover with Yixiao and the others.

Before setting off, Norton had Nolan build enough high-end ships and supplies, and delivered them to the Free Alliance's Department of Commerce on Red Island. He then left the Radar Den Den Mushi and Base Den Den Mushi at the Free Alliance headquarters, which completed the preparations.

With SSS-class space probes and SSS-class signal connectors on the space station, the radar Den Den Mushi base station Den Den Mushi is no longer of much use.

That evening, amidst fireworks on Red Island, the flying island, under Angela's control, officially flew into the vast universe and arrived next to the space station.

Because of the protection of Thor's Shield, the Kingdom of Oicot will not be affected even if there is no air in the universe.

The people were so amazed by this sight that they stopped sleeping and wanted to stay outside to see the enormous stars.

They were all subjects of the Kingdom of Oycot, and they would follow the king wherever he wanted to go without hesitation.

In the study, Norton excitedly looked at the large screen and asked, "Nolan, after two years of satellite exploration, have you identified the primary target?"

"It's confirmed, Your Majesty. Please look at the big screen!" Nolan nodded, turning the entire screen wall into a starry sky map.

Then, pointing to one of the green planets, he said, "There are signs of life on this planet, and the activity is very frequent. Also..."

As he spoke, Nolan lit up a few more planets, saying, "These planets have already been occupied by Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, and the Vinsmoke Family. After nearly two years of development, they are almost in control of them. It's worth mentioning that..."

On one of the planets, Nolan specifically circled it in red: "The information sent back by the Whitebeard Pirates was that there was a special kind of insect on the planet they occupied. Eating their flesh after roasting it can enhance one's Devil Fruit abilities."

Chapter 317 An Unusual Event Has Occurred!

Norton frowned upon hearing this: "It's been two years, why haven't we heard of them selling these insects?"

Nolan shook his head: "We don't know yet. It's been about a year since we've received any messages from the Whitebeard Pirates. The other three planets send back messages every one to two months."

Norton scratched his head: "Then let's change our primary target location and head to the planet where the Whitebeard Pirates are located to check it out. We absolutely can't let them just disappear without a trace..."

"Understood." Nolan nodded and immediately changed direction in space, flying towards the planet where Hu Zi and the others were.

Angela controlled the flying island to follow behind, while observing the surrounding stars and sea, which she also longed for.

"Master, flying in the vast universe is so much more exciting than flying on Aquamarine! There are no restrictions at all, I'm so happy!" Angela excitedly transmitted her thoughts to Norton.

Norton, who had just transferred to the space station with his ministers, smiled slightly and transmitted his voice, "You're right, the vastness of the stars and the sea is incomparable to Aquamarine! I hope I can find you a handsome boyfriend on some planet in the future!"

"Oh, Master, I'm still so young, how could you say such a thing..." Angela blushed slightly upon hearing this.

indeed!

To the dragon race, even ten-year-old Angela is still just a little girl, far from meeting the standards of adulthood.

When you live to be a hundred years old, you'll be considered an adult.

Norton then realized what had happened, raised his hand to cover his face and thought to himself, "I was careless. I forgot about the special nature of the dragon race."

Shaking his head, Norton turned to his ministers and said, "Gentlemen, it's getting late. You may all go to your hibernation pods to sleep. We'll arrive there tomorrow."

Upon hearing that the flight would take so long, Yi Xiao and the others naturally said nothing more and turned to follow the service robot to the lower hibernation pod.

Since the space station officially began operation, all functional robots have been activated.

These service robots are specifically designed to guide and serve them.

In addition, there are many functional robots, such as repair robots, cleaning robots, transportation robots, and so on...

"Brother, I'm taking the baby back to sleep. I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to the hibernation pod," Eileen said, holding the baby in her arms.

“Okay, go ahead.” Norton nodded and said, “Bonnie and Nojiko should go back too. Nolan and I will keep an eye on things here.”

“Okay.” Eileen opened the door, and the three women went in together.

"call--"

Everyone who was supposed to leave has left; only he and the robot Nolan remain.

“Nolan, tell me about that planet.” After a moment of silence, Norton looked up at Nolan.

Nolan didn't waste any words and directly used holographic projection to play a picture: "Master, this is a remote picture taken by the space station and satellites. Please take a look."

Norton looked up, and although the image was somewhat blurry, the content astonished him.

In the scene, a group of people led by Whitebeard are chasing after Ace and Marco.

Do not!

To be precise, it should be said that Whitebeard and his large group were chasing after Ace and Marco.

As for why, it's because the distance was too great when the filming took place, so the view wasn't very clear.

But one thing is certain: something has happened to the Whitebeard Pirates!

In this vast universe, immense opportunities abound, but fortune and misfortune are intertwined; the greater the opportunity, the greater the danger.

Therefore, Norton always felt that this matter was not that simple.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Norton looked at the projection screen again: "Where is the Moby Dick? Have you found it?"

“Found it, but… it’s not optimistic.” Nolan raised his hand and pointed, and the projected image changed.

The ship in the picture is indeed the Moby Dick, but it is now in a state of disrepair.

Moreover, judging from the surrounding traces, it seems that a major battle broke out here, which is why the Moby Dick was damaged.

Norton said gravely, "The ships are all destroyed; no wonder there's been no news of them. How much longer until we get there?"

"Reporting to Master, there are still seven hours of flight time remaining," Nolan provided a fairly precise time.

Nodding, Norton sighed, "Sigh... there's no use in worrying now. Nolan, raise the captain's hibernation pod for me, I'll rest here. Remember to wake me up when we're almost there."

"Yes, Master."

Nolan raised his hand, and a transparent hibernation pod rose up behind Norton.

Norton took off his shoes, opened the lid, and lay down inside. After closing the lid, he quickly fell asleep.

huh... huh...

On the planet where the Whitebeard Pirates lived.

Marco and Ace were hiding in a cave, panting heavily.

It's been over a year, it's been over a year!

They had been hiding on this planet for over a year, but hadn't found a way to cure their father and the others, which was driving them to the brink of a mental breakdown.

Why do you say that?

A year ago, after discovering that insect flesh could enhance Devil Fruit abilities, the Whitebeard Pirates decided to live here for a while.

But what no one expected was that after eating insect meat for a period of time, their bodies began to undergo strange changes.

First and foremost, it's about spirit.

Whitebeard and the others began to show signs of mental confusion and forgetfulness, which frightened Ace and Marco so much that they quickly checked on everyone.

The result was... nothing was found.

Whitebeard and the others assumed that their Devil Fruit powers were growing too fast, causing them to hallucinate.

However, the problem became even more serious after Vista and the other non-Devil Fruit users also started eating insect meat.

First, the Whitebeards, who were the first to eat meat, became irritable and easily angered, their eyes turned red, and they couldn't help but drool.

After a while, their bodies began to twitch uncontrollably, and they lay on the ground rolling around with ferocious expressions.

Marco and Ace were so frightened that they checked again, but unfortunately, they still found nothing.

However, the obvious signs of poisoning presented them with a very difficult situation.

Marco's flames had absolutely no effect on them.

Just when things were in such a chaotic state, something unexpected happened!

The next day, Whitebeard and his crew completely lost their minds and attacked Marco and Ace with bared teeth.

Fortunately, they lost their minds, and their attacks were all instinctive, involving punches, kicks, claws, and bites.

Otherwise, Ace and Marco would probably have been beaten to death by Whitebeard and his crew long ago.

The Moby Dick was destroyed under these circumstances.

Now it's unlikely that Ace and Marco can go back to ask for help.

They could only try to hide on this planet, hoping to find a way to cure Whitebeard and his crew.

Chapter 318 Waiting for a Miracle

And so, more than a year passed in agony.

Marco and Ace could catch insects to eat when they were hungry, and they could find water to drink when they were thirsty.

But Whitebeard and his crew just kept chasing them. After more than a year, the group was already skin and bones from hunger, but they were still alive!

Thanks to Ace and Marco's efforts, they would regularly feed Whitebeard and his crew, ensuring they wouldn't starve.

The problem is with La and Sa, and just as they are still alive, no miracle has occurred even once in over a year.

On this day, Marco and Esdor had just fallen asleep in the cave when they suddenly heard a sound that resounded throughout the heavens and the earth.

"Ace, Marco, where are you? Come out and see me! I am Norton!"

The sound echoed across the entire planet, startling the insects into fleeing and jolting Marco and Ace awake.
