Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

"I will definitely not let you off the hook next time we meet."

"Tashigi, let's go!"

With that, Smoker stood up and leaped onto their warship.

Luffy and his crew were somewhat stunned as they watched the warship slowly sail away.

"That chain smoker... seems like a decent guy!"

"Yes! They actually helped us!"

"I'm starting to dislike him a little less now."

"I said... there's no time to think about anything else now, we need to set sail quickly, or we won't be able to get out of this river."

Nami suddenly shouted, and everyone on the ship immediately sprang into action, taking their positions.

"Luffy, what can I do?"

Vivi approached Luffy, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

Vivi was extremely excited to officially become a pirate for the first time.

Luffy's gaze swept across the ship, finally settling on the empty lookout tower on the mast.

He then turned to Weiwei and said.

"From now on, you'll be the lookout on this ship!"

"Provide us with the information we have observed as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Weiwei's face lit up with joy, and she nodded excitedly.

Then, in a very formal manner, he saluted, just like the soldiers in their kingdom.

"Yes, Captain!"

Seeing Vivi's excited and serious expression, Luffy couldn't help but smile.

Although Weiwei used to look worried when she was concerned about the country.

But once they truly relax, they become very lively.

Just then, Luffy suddenly felt his leg being brushed.

Then, a shout was heard.

"Gah!"

Looking down, Karu also looked serious, as if asking Luffy what it could do.

Luffy glanced around again, but found that there didn't seem to be any suitable positions for a duck, so he spoke to it.

"You'll be in charge of logistics on this ship! Just do whatever you can to help."

"If you don't know what to do, just follow Chopper. Only he can understand what you're saying. If you need any help, just let Chopper tell you!"

"Gah!"

Karu called out, seemingly satisfied with the arrangement, and then went to find Chopper.

Everyone, take your positions and get ready.

Luffy then shouted a command from the Going Merry.

"The Going Merry...Set sail!!!"

...

Because Smoker had informed them in advance, Luffy and his crew traveled at full speed the entire way.

They successfully left Alabasta before the naval warships could form an encirclement.

Heading towards the next island the record pointer indicates.

...

On the calm sea, the Merry sailed slowly.

The entire Straw Hat crew gathered on the deck, each looking tense and serious.

"Are you ready?"

Luffy looked at Vivi, who looked nervous, and asked her a question.

Weiwei nodded, looking nervous and expectant.

"Ready!"

Then, Luffy unleashed his extraordinary comprehension, helping Vivi fully develop her own talents in order to attract a Devil Fruit that suited her.

Luffy already had ideas about Nami and Nojiko's Devil Fruits.

However, both fruits have been eaten by others, so they haven't been able to help the two of them attract Devil Fruits using their extraordinary comprehension.

As for Vivi, Luffy hasn't yet thought of any Devil Fruit that would suit her.

So I thought I'd just give her some incredible comprehension, push her potential to its limit, and see what kind of Devil Fruit she could attract.

After being endowed with extraordinary comprehension, Weiwei closed her eyes and began to carefully sense it.

I was searching my mind for her talents and potential.

At that moment, Vivi involuntarily recalled the scene from her childhood when Belle secretly carried her through the sky.

The memories of that time are as clear as if they happened yesterday.

The feeling of flying through the sky was also very pleasant and comfortable for Weiwei.

After this memory ended, Vivi's mind was filled with the countless days and nights she spent in Alabasta.

Alabasta is mostly desert, and it is hot almost every day, often causing wildfires due to the unbearable heat.

At that moment, Vivi's mind was filled with images of those burning, blazing flames.

Just as scenes were flashing through Vivi's mind, on the Going Merry...

Luffy and the others waited quietly.

Suddenly, some wood fragments began to fall from the sky.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the debris lying on the ship, and they were all puzzled.

"What is this? Is it raining wood?"

"The Grand Line is truly unpredictable! It even drops wood fragments; it's a truly magical sea."

As Usopp and Sanji were expressing their feelings, Nami suddenly let out a shriek, baring her teeth.

"What the hell?! Look up at the sky!"

"A ship has landed."

Upon hearing Nami's exclamation, everyone except Vivi looked up at the sky.

Immediately, everyone's pupils dilated, and their faces were filled with astonishment.

Above the Merry, a massive yet dilapidated sailing ship was rapidly descending.

All sorts of wood scraps, boxes, barrels, and even skulls from that sailboat drifted toward the Merry.

The entire deck was thrown into chaos.

"Waaaaaah... Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder!"

"What on earth happened? Why did the ship appear out of the sky...?"

"It's about to land!"

"Hold on tighter, the waves are coming!"

boom!

A loud crash echoed as the water plummeted, sending up a massive wave.

The Merry, riding the giant waves, rocked violently as if it were about to capsize.

Meanwhile, the people on the ship were constantly exclaiming in surprise.

“Aaaaaah…”

"woo woo woo woo..."

After a period of violent shaking, the Going Merry finally calmed down.

The people on the boat still looked frightened, sweat beading on their foreheads.

Chopper, Usopp, and Karoo huddled together, trembling with fear.

Luffy had been supporting Vivi, who was still unconscious, during the giant wave to prevent her from falling.

After things calmed down, a chorus of questions arose on the ship.

Why would a ship fall from the sky?

"Now there's nothing in the sky!"

"That's really strange!"

Gululu...

As the people on the ship were filled with doubt and wonder, something on the deck suddenly began to roll.

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw a fruit with patterns like blue flames roll down to Weiwei's feet.

It looks like it fell down with that ship.

At the same time, Vivi slowly opened her eyes.

A prompt also appeared in Luffy's mind.

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. Through the transmission of your comprehension, your transmitter, who is also exceptionally gifted, has been attracted to the "Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Beast, Azure Phoenix Form."]

"Success!"

The moment they saw the fruit, excited cheers erupted on the ship.

Everyone temporarily ignored the ship that had just fallen and instead focused their attention on Vivi and the Devil Fruit.

Luffy picked up the Devil Fruit, rinsed it in a bucket of water, and handed it to Vivi, saying...

"Although I don't know what abilities this fruit has, it is a Mythical Zoan fruit, so I'm sure it won't be weak."

"Weiwei, you can eat it!"

Weiwei took the fruit, nodded, and looked excited.

Although she didn't understand the Devil Fruit, she had a strange feeling that it would grant her the ability to fly and burn.

Amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, Weiwei took a bite.

"vomit..."

The same scene as Usopp's back then.

Vivi couldn't help but gag, her expression pained.

Seeing that Vivi was trying so hard to resist eating more, Luffy knew that she didn't understand Devil Fruits, so he spoke up.

"Okay, no need to eat anymore, that's enough."

"Quickly experience what abilities this fruit possesses!"

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Vivi nodded and began to carefully sense his presence.

At the same time, Luffy once again bestowed his extraordinary comprehension upon Vivi, helping her to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the fruit's abilities.

As Vivi carefully sensed it, a prompt also came to Luffy's mind.

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. Through the transmission of your comprehension, your transmitter has fully mastered the ability of the "Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type, Azure Phoenix Form."]

[Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type, Azure Phoenix Form: The user can transform into the ancient mythical bird Azure Phoenix, possessing two basic active abilities: flight and fire manipulation. One passive ability: rebirth from flames.]

[Flight: Its flight speed is incredibly fast, covering a thousand miles in an instant (approximately 1 kilometer per second).]

[Flame Manipulation: Can manipulate and unleash flame attacks. Furthermore, the Azure Phoenix feeds on endless karmic fire, so the user can strengthen or heal themselves by absorbing fire elements.]

[Rebirth from the Ashes: When a user's life force reaches its limit, this ability is activated, allowing them to be reborn from the ashes like a phoenix, with all attributes greatly enhanced. Each activation leaves the user in a weakened state after the ability ends. While weakened, the ability cannot be used, and the next activation requires the body to fully recover.]
