Pirate: Ace just wants to get up

Purchased nearby nautical charts in Branch 153.

And successfully saw Shuangyue Village, but the distance really made Ace ashamed. It was very far, almost at the edge of the map. It would take about two days to get there...

It had been four days since this trip, and Ace was thinking about whether to go or not.

I looked at Nami, then looked at the map, should I forget it?Going there is just to ask for basic swordsmanship lessons, but this thing is not learned here, there is no need to go...

But if he doesn't go, where can he go to learn basic swordsmanship now?

Although there is a swordsmanship instructor in Branch 153, he is not a marine.

Just when he was distressed, Nami on the side spoke: "What's wrong? Isn't it on the map?"

"Yes, there is, but it's too far."

Ace sighed, his boat was very small, and to be honest, he and Nami squeezed together, it was a bit undescript, and there was no place to take a shower, which was really inconvenient.

It wasn't long after I got off the ship, but now I have to...

I have a headache.

"Let me take a look..." Nami took the map, and Ace pointed to the far corner of the map, a small place called Frost Moon Village, which was the end of the continent next to the Kingdom of Goa.

The fastest journey takes about two days.

"It's indeed a bit far."

Ace nodded: "Forget it, I thought I would go take a look if it was close, but there is no need for it to be so far away."

Nami thought for a moment and said: "If it's over there... there are merchant ships passing by there, but the speed is much slower."

"Merchant ship?"

"To be precise, it's a tourist ship for nobles. It goes from the Kingdom of Goa to the Kingdom of Tami in the south. It passes through Shuangyue Village on the way. If we want to get off the ship, we just need to talk to the captain." Nami explained.

As a thief, she wanted to have a safe way to contact pirates by being a traveler on such a merchant ship, and then take the opportunity to sneak into the pirate's treasure room when she was robbed.

So she still knows the routes of merchant ships very well.

"Merchant ship... It's good to just relax for a while."

Ace nodded, just in time to observe what the country looked like, and if possible, to see if there were any shipbuilders who could build ship islands.

"The Kingdom of Goa..."

"By the way, Nami, are you going? If you don't want to go, just send me to the starting point."

Nami also hesitated. She only agreed to send the other party here at the beginning. Of course, she also had other small purposes. She watched the evil dragon being imprisoned in order to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Now that her small goal has been achieved, and the other party did not force her to go... her mission can actually be completed.

But after a moment, she said with a smile: "I'll go, but Brother Ace, you have to reimburse the round trip expenses."

"of course."

…………

The Kingdom of Goa is spotless and is known as the most beautiful country in the East China Sea. The Celestial Dragons have also visited, making the Kingdom of Goa a household name throughout the East China Sea.

The journey for Branch 153 to Goa Kingdom only takes half a day.

Ace was looking at the map, then looking at the islands on the map and lost in thought.

"Nami, can we go to this island later?"

Nami, who was eating fruit, came over and looked at a small island on the map: "There is nothing here."

"There's something I want to find."

"Okay, just deflect the sail a little." Nami and Ace started sailing.

In less than a moment, the two of them arrived at this small island. It was not large, but the trees were very lush. After Ace landed on the island, he circled around the island.

Until I got back to the starting point.

"?"

Nami didn't understand what Ace was doing.

But when she saw a strange fruit in the other person's hand, she was a little stunned.

"what is this?"

"Devil Fruit"

"That cursed fruit? The one that gives you strange powers if you eat it?" Nami was stunned. Is this what Ace is looking for?It is said that the minimum value of this fruit is [-] million.

Nami carefully observed this pink peach-like Devil Fruit, and was a little confused as to why such a strange fruit could be worth [-] million, enough to buy her village.

"Want to eat?"

Ace smiled and threw the slippery fruit that would be eaten by Arrita to Nami.

He came here just to try his luck, but he didn't expect to encounter it.

There is a difference between the anime and the manga. In the manga, the fat woman holding a big iron rod, Alita, is actually based on a desert island, which is the island where Ace is now.

But in the anime, he was beaten to the sea, and then drifted to a small island, which is probably where he arrived.

And it was here that I encountered the Slippery Fruit, successfully lost weight and became a beautiful woman.

But now he has taken away this slippery fruit in advance.

"Can you give it to me?" Nami took the pink devil fruit in a panic, and then felt the strange and slippery fruit.

"Yes, it's useless for me to keep it anyway."

"This is worth [-] million Baileys." Nami held it carefully.

Ace casually took out another strange red fruit from his backpack.

"There is one more."

"..."

Nami felt that her heart was moved, and she was moved by money. Originally, this person had more than 2 million Baileys, but now he actually took out another Devil Fruit worth [-] million.

She felt that she was not well.

You must know that she worked hard for seven years to get 5000 million beli, but this person casually gave him something worth [-] million beli.

At this moment, Nami was extremely entangled in her heart, and tried hard to hint to herself: I don't need the money anymore, I don't need the money anymore!I can't stand the test at all!

Nami, who had already transformed into the shape of ￥, gave up her resistance and accepted it silently.

eat?Why eat?Isn’t it delicious for [-] million Baileys?

Ace looked a little amused at the way the other person put it away, and said, "Aren't you going to eat it?"

Nami struggled: "What a waste."

"?"

"This is [-] million Baileys! It's such a pity to eat it." Nami's eyes were still in the shape of ￥, and the corners of her mouth were turning up.

Ace shook his head and said: "This thing is indeed worth [-] million Baileys, but you have to think about it. After gaining the ability, it will be much easier for you to make [-] million in the future than selling this."

Nami's yen-shaped eyes narrowed and she looked at Ace suspiciously.

"It's normal. Can a little girl like you sell this thing on the black market? Don't be eaten up by then." Ace smiled.

Nami also realized the seriousness of the problem. Indeed, she could get a sum of money by selling it, but she had to be able to sell it first. Whether she could eat this devil fruit on the black market in the East China Sea was still a question.

For example, the most expensive items at auction in the Kingdom of Goa were only a million dollars.

Nami was confused.

Ace smiled and ignored it. After all, he had given it away, so he had no reason to take it back. It was her business to eat or not.

"This fruit is called the Slippery Fruit. After eating it, you can control the friction of the body. Well, it can probably be used for beauty. It can smooth away crow's feet and freckles. Oh, and it can also get tattoos." Ace thought about everything about the Slippery Fruit.

It can glide away fat and freckles, leaving skin with zero friction and even bullets cannot hit it.will slide away.

It reduces friction and increases friction at the same time.

If used well, the effect of this fruit is still very good.
