Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 117

Usage conditions: The target must be touched for more than 30 seconds after the target has lost consciousness.

Note 1: This item is for single use only.

Note 2: The copied Devil Fruit ability does not have the side effect of being afraid of seawater.

Note 3: The copied Devil Fruit ability is dual-use; after obtaining the copied Devil Fruit ability, one can still eat another Devil Fruit.

When Ron saw the note 'Note 2', his eyes lit up instantly.

The reason he has never considered eating a Devil Fruit is twofold: firstly, he has not encountered a suitable and satisfactory ability, and secondly, Devil Fruits have the side effect of being afraid of seawater.

In some cases, this side effect can be a fatal weakness.

And now.

With this Devil Fruit Copy Card, the copying ability would not have the weakness of being afraid of seawater.

He would then have absolutely no worries!

If he could find another powerful Devil Fruit, his overall strength would definitely rise to another level!

107, The Arrogant Dragon Pirates Came Knocking (Two-in-One)

In the evening.

An abandoned child from the battlefield, adopted by a foster mother who later died because of the Arlong Pirates. Now they depend on each other for survival, earning a living through an orange grove, but most of their money is regularly taken away by the Arlong Pirates...

After learning about what Nami and Nojiko had gone through, Conis felt some pity and sympathy for the two sisters, and was filled with rage at the Arlong Pirates.

While Nami and Nojiko were boiling water.

Connie looked angrily at Robin, who was sitting at the table drinking tea, and said, "I didn't expect that the Arlong Pirates to be so despicable. Sister Robin, let's go and help them drive the Arlong Pirates away."

"Calm down."

Robin remained calm as always.

Having experienced the Ohara disaster from a young age, losing her life and friends and wandering alone, she has seen more suffering than anyone else, and understands the suffering in this world better than anyone else.

"I'll discuss this with Ron later."

"What do you want to discuss with me?"

Robin and Connie looked up.

Wearing black trousers and a white long-sleeved t-shirt, Ron, who looked like the boy next door, was standing on the stairs.

Connie explained the situation to him in a few words.

After listening, Ron nodded slightly: "I see."

"Captain, you also think that Arlong Pirates are despicable, right? Then let's hurry up and drive them off this island."

Connie excitedly called out to Ron, who was standing in front of her.

Ron pulled out a chair from the table and sat down next to Robin. He said calmly, "If the three of you are confident that you can deal with the captain of the pirate crew with a bounty of 2000 million Berries and his crew, then go ahead. Even if you encounter danger this time, I will not intervene."

"……Eh?"

Connie was taken aback by what she heard.

He then looked hesitant.

Robin looked at Ron beside him and asked, "What are your thoughts on this? Do you think we should help?"

Ron picked up his cup and took a sip of water.

"I can help."

Connie's eyes lit up, but Ron's next words made her expression freeze.

"But I won't make a move."

"I really can't muster any interest in these guys."

Ron put down his water glass and looked at Conis, saying, "If you decide to deal with the Arlong Pirates, then consider them a test for you at this stage. If you believe in your strength, go and drive them away or destroy them now."

Robin looked at Ron and said, "We could also choose to conserve our strength, gather intelligence, and wait until we are confident of winning even without your help before taking action. Is that what you mean?"

Ron smiled at her.

"correct."

……

Several days passed.

Nami became familiar with Conis and Robin, and affectionately called them Conis-neechan and Robin-neechan.

Ron was still addressed by his full name.

This period was definitely the happiest time for her since her adoptive mother, Bellemere, died.

……

That day, Ron was taking a bath in the wooden tub in the bathroom.

Nami's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"Hey...can you talk to me for a bit now?"

Ron opened his eyes, and the transparent world unfolded before him. Instantly, a clear image of Nami leaning against the bathroom door flashed into his mind.

"Go ahead."

When do you plan to leave here?

Nami leaned against the doorway and asked softly.

"Let's wait until next spring."

"Springtime..."

Nami whispered softly.

Ron, inside the bathtub, glanced sideways.

There was a sense of reluctance in her voice... Did she want us to stay a little longer?

"Isn't the sea interesting?"

"That sounds interesting! Would you like to go out to sea too?"

"I……"

Nami said in a low voice:

"I'd rather make money and become a rich person like you than go to sea."

Ron noticed the change in her emotions and made a judgment in his mind.

He closed his eyes and said, "Why are you so eager to make money?"

Nami didn't say anything.

After a while.

Nami took a deep breath and said:

"If you're the captain, will Conis and Robin listen to you?"

"Ah."

"Then...you should leave at the end of this month."

A look of surprise flashed across Ron's eyes.

"why?"

Nami, leaning against the doorway, tilted her head back and whispered:

"When the snow melts and it gets warmer next month, Ah Long and his buddies will definitely come again, and they'll steal your money and your boat."

"So you'd better leave this month."

"Thank you all for your help during this time."

After saying that, Nami lowered her head and quickly left.

……

Under an orange tree.

Nojiko found Nami hiding there, hugging her legs.

"You are indeed here."

Nami looked at her, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Nojiko, I'm sorry... I still can't do it. I don't want Conis and Robin to hate me."

"The most important thing is to make money to save the lives of all the villagers, but I was so selfish... Waaah... I'm sorry!"

On the day Ron and his crew arrived, Nami mentioned to Nojiko that she was sleeping with them that she planned to swindle money from Ron and his crew, or secretly contact Arlong Pirates to leave them with their money and ships.
