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

"It's...it's Ace's older brother!" Marco was the first to react and grabbed Ace.

"Brother Norton! That voice is definitely Brother Norton's voice!" Shaked by Marco, Ace realized what was happening and turned to run away.

"Brother Norton, where are you, Brother Norton!" Upon arriving outside the cave, Ace shouted at the sky, then unleashed a massive fire punch into the air.

Norton saw the "signal flare" launched by Ace and immediately had Angela control the flying island to fly over.

"Come up first!" Norton shouted from the sky as he reached above the two men.

Ace and Marco immediately flew up, and before Norton could speak, the two of them sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears.

It doesn't have to be this bad!

Scratching his head, Norton waved his hand and placed two large platters of meat and two large buckets of water in front of the two men.

He raised his hand and ruffled Ace's hair, which he hadn't washed in ages: "Eat something first, and then tell me slowly what happened."

This shoveling not only felt a bit prickly, but also caused dirt to fall out.

What on earth happened...?

Norton frowned.

Upon seeing the food and water, the two choked up for a moment before using both hands to frantically eat.

"It smells so good... Waaaaah..."

Having not eaten food from Aquamarine for over a year, Ace choked with emotion.

Awooo—

Just then, a group of people ran up from below the flying island; it was Whitebeard's crew.

Norton looked down at them and found that they all had bloodshot eyes, thin bodies, but long claws.

This state looks exactly like someone infected with a zombie virus.

Ow—

Whitebeard looked up and roared; he could smell living people.

Unfortunately, in the past, Whitebeard could have easily jumped up.

Now, all they can do is rage helplessly from below.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness," Norton called out as he turned around. Bonnie and Nojiko, who were standing not far away, came over upon hearing the call.

Norton pointed down: "The three of us should go down and subdue Whitebeard and the others."

"Okay." The two women nodded.

Norn released a paper boat, helped Bonnie stand on it, and then he and Norn jumped on.

Norton quickly piloted the airship down. Then, Nojiko used her barrier ability to create a barrier cage, which she slammed down, trapping everyone inside.

After Norton brought the airship down, he helped Bonnie off the airship.

Then it was Bonney and Nojiko's turn to team up!

Nojiko would open a small hole in the chest or abdomen of each person, and Bonnie would reach in and touch it, then quickly pull her hand back without any problem.

By the time Ace and the others finished their meal, Whitebeard and the others below had all turned into children, and could only grin and grimac in the limited space.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Norton asked after the two had finished their water back on the flying island.

“It’s like this…” Marco calmed down and began to tell Norton what had happened over the past year.

After listening, Norton suddenly realized why the system had given him an SSS-level Panacea when he checked in early this morning.

This SSS-grade Panacea can cure all poisons, heal mental trauma, and replenish vital energy. After taking three pills consecutively, one will be immune to all poisons.

Moreover, they gave out three boxes at once, with one hundred coins in each box, for a total of three hundred coins.

"Why didn't you call me sooner?" Norton glared at Ace after hearing this.

"It's out of power... This..." Ace was speechless and took out his phone to show Norton.

Norton glared at him again: "Didn't I tell you how to charge it?"

Ace shrugged bitterly: "The charging cable was left on the ship, but the ship was destroyed and I didn't go back. When I returned some time later, the power bank was dead."

Norton slapped his forehead: "Who told you not to bring it with you..."

"I brought it with me, didn't you give me two? I brought one with me here! But as my body became elemental, the power bank exploded..." Ace almost cried as he said this.

Damn it...

It really was Qiao'er's mother who opened the door for Qiao'er; Qiao'er was home...

Why did everything have to happen all at once?

Norton felt a headache coming on.

“Brother Norton…you must save Dad and the others…it was our fault, we shouldn’t have eaten those things…” Ace hugged Norton’s leg, crying with tears and snot streaming down his face.

"Alright, you're a grown man..." Norton kicked him away impatiently, sighed, and said, "I know about this. Let's go, I can handle them."

Before the two could react, Norton had already taken the airship down again.

Back on the ground, Norton took a square box from his backpack, opened the lid, and said, "The medicine here can cure them. Nojigo!"

"Understood." Noki nodded and walked to the barrier.

Norton followed along, and every time Nokigo opened a round hole, he would pinch a pill and throw it into the mouths of the people inside.

These guys are all baring their teeth and claws, trying to bite us, so feeding them is very convenient.

Ace and Marco followed eagerly beside him, finally standing in front of Whitebeard, waiting for a miracle to happen.

"Cough cough..."

Everyone took the medicine, and as time went by, some people began to cough violently.

Immediately afterwards, they coughed up mouthfuls of black blood, including Ace and Marco.

Although they can suppress the toxins using their fruit abilities, they still have some in their bodies to some extent.

"What...what's wrong with me...?"

Soon, Whitebeard's eyes regained some light, and he was able to speak again, but he sounded extremely weak.

How could it not be weak?

They hadn't had a proper meal in over a year, and everyone was starving.

Chapter 319 An Unknown Mental Toxin

"Dad...you've finally come to your senses..."

"Dad..."

Seeing this, Ace and Marco wished they could pounce on them right then and there.

Unfortunately, Nojiko's barrier was still there, and they couldn't get through at all. They could only lie on the barrier and bang on it.

"Don't rush." ​​Norton reached out and pulled the two back, tossing them aside to continue observing.

Whitebeard has only just begun to recover some of his strength; he is not yet fully recovered.

Besides, their mental strength and brains have been eroded by the poison for over a year. Even if the medicine they just ingested was miraculously effective, there still needs to be time for the effects to fully dissipate, right?

Uh... ah...

As time passed, Whitebeard and the others inside the barrier began to clutch their heads and scream in agony.

This greatly worried Marco and Ace, but with Norton standing by and watching, they dared not rush in and cause trouble.

About half an hour later, fencer Vista was the first to regain consciousness.

He doesn't have any Devil Fruit powers, so the poisoning isn't that severe yet.

After regaining consciousness, Vista collapsed to the ground, exhaling more than inhaling.

More than a year of poor diet and more than a year of working day and night caused him to faint in the instant he had just recovered.

A loud snoring sound followed immediately.

Hearing the snoring, Ace and Marco exchanged a glance and smiled wryly.

Honestly, they don't sleep very well either...

As Vista fell, the others followed suit.

Those without Devil Fruit powers, like Bysta, were the first to regain consciousness and then fall back into a deep sleep.

Those who possessed Devil Fruit powers all collapsed to the ground after these people.

Norton picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Nolan, send down the healing robot and the detection robot. Someone is injured here."

"Yes," Nolan replied.

Soon, the two robots flew down from the space station in a spacecraft.

Small aircraft of this class are all in a standard font shape, or a crescent shape.

Both levels of auxiliary robots are humanoid in form.

Norton didn't deliberately create the faces of these robots, so their appearances were all arranged by Nolan, and each one of them has the appearance of a great beauty.

One red and one blue, they looked exactly like Rem and Ram, making Norton's lips twitch.

Goodness, when did Nolan become so mischievous...?

"Master." The two approached Norton and bowed slightly.

Norton waved his hand and pointed ahead: "No need for formalities, go check on those guys."

"Yes, Master." Ram bowed again, then turned and walked away.

Rem remained where she was, and wouldn't move unless Norton gave the order.

After thinking for a moment, Norton called Nolan again: "Nolan, send another detection and analysis robot, and while you're at it, use space to probe the planet's resource reserves."

“Master, are you going to test those insects, the plants on this planet, and the water sources? The blue-haired testing robot we just sent down can fully meet your requirements.” Norton was somewhat surprised by Nolan’s words.
