24 Chapter 24

It was not difficult to load gold, North and Zoro helped me, and we got through quickly.

- Hehe, cap, we are rich now. - North said happily.

I smiled and asked:

- How many are here, in your opinion?

The big man scratched his red beard and then answered:

- Well, maybe a hundred or two hundred lyamas, although maybe more, and the fruit can be sold for all three hundred, if you're lucky.

I shook my head and said:

- No, who sells such things? You better eat it

- Uh, maybe not? Who knows what kind of power he has, suddenly I become some kind of chicken. - The redhead answered cautiously.

I sighed and said:

- Eh, then you will have to intensify your training.

- Hey, cap, I don't mind, I just asked, look. - He took the fruit and began to eat it: - Brr, well, the taste, horror ... - North grimaced.

I went up to him and examined:

- Well, how does it feel? It seems that the beak has not grown.

North looked at his hands and said:

- I kind of feel something. Hmm ...

* Click * * click * * crackle *

- Eh ?! - I opened my mouth in shock.

- What the fuck ?! Zoro shouted with a drooping jaw.

While we were standing like that, a voice was heard:

- Hey, there you are, I've already searched you ... Aaaaa? - Nami came and screamed in shock.

At first I myself did not believe in what I saw, but then I remembered and calmed down, this is a devil fruit, why am I surprised? Just think, another hand came out of my hand, only bony.

- North, try to do something else. - I said calmly.

He nodded and put his hand, ahem, back into his hand. Then he put both hands in front of him and ...

* Crackle * * crackle * * crackle * * click *

Bones began to grow out of North's hands and join together, creating something like a bone wall.

Hmm, well, it seems clear. Paramecium of liquids allows you to excrete and manage liquid, which is something similar. Reminiscent of the fruit of that General of Big Mom. Which created biscuits, only in our case, these are bones. A good fruit, the main thing is to develop its strength and the redhead will go far.

I went up to him and patted on the shoulder:

- Congratulations, bone paramecia, good purchase. Now, let's step up your training.

- Um, maybe not worth it, I would have survived these. - North waved away.

Zoro walked up to him from behind and also patted.

- Mor is right, now you can't chill, let's go. - And dragged him somewhere. Poor fellow, it will be hard for him.

- So this is the power of the devil fruit? I thought it was a fairy tale. - I heard from behind.

I turned and asked smiling:

- Do you want it too?

- Maybe only without these bones, they are terrible, brrr ... - Nami grimaced.

- I will definitely find another one for you, you will like it. - I promised.

Nami nodded and smiled:

- Okay. By the way, what are you doing here? I barely found you.

- They took the loot.

- Prey? - Nami exclaimed with shining eyes.

I nodded and said:

- Yeah, count it later, I have everything, ahem, that is, you have it in your cabin.

- Why hesitate, I am now ... - Nami snapped:

- Wait a minute. - I stopped her.

- Look. - I nodded towards Arlong Park.

- What is there? - The girl was alert.

I grinned and said:

- Wait.

There was no need to wait long, the prepared gunpowder detonated as soon as a specially prepared candle burned out.

* Boom * * Tuduh *

The entire Arlong Park was blown up. The shock wave reached us, it's good that we managed to sail far enough.

- Wow, this is ... - We were shocked and looked fascinated at the explosion.

I looked at her and asked:

- What do you think?

The girl looked away and answered with a smile:

- I like it, thanks.

I waved my hand and went into the cabin:

- Not at all, I wanted to blow up something for a long time (after I blew myself up, hehe).

Nami laughed, and then shouted:

- This is my cabin, did you forget?

Yours ... Eh, I'd better go drink some rum ...

***

Well, now it's time to sail off. We have already, so, here the fifth day, and Nami still did not plan to sail away, but it seems that today, at last, she finally tuned in and got ready. She gave the sheriff all the money she had raised to ransom the village, there were about seventy million. I decided to follow her example and raised fifty million of what we took from Arlong Park. There were about two hundred million, according to Nami. Of course, I'm not a fan of handing out money, they will be useful to us ourselves, but if this is my nakama's village, then you can fork out.

Therefore, I took a bag with money and stumbled to the mayor of the city, at the same time I will take Nami, otherwise she is delaying something with her sister.

***

Hmm, it looks like he's not at home, I don't feel anyone's aura.

Okay, so I'm going to Nojiko's.

To my luck, I found the old man in the same place as the two sisters.

Nojiko hugged me and thanked me, and the old man decided to shake off with a handshake, which I was quite pleased with. Then he took me aside for a private conversation.

- So you're sailing away? - He asked.

I nodded.

- We are sailing for a long time.

The old man sighed and said:

- Okay, look after her, don't let her be offended.

I smiled and answered:

- She herself will offend anyone you want.

- Ha-ha-ha, that's for sure, in this she looks like her mother. - The old man laughed.

After that, he was silent for a little, and then he looked at me seriously and said:

- Mor. If one day she stops smiling because of you, I promise that I will find you and kill you.

I nodded and said:

- I will not let her be an unhappy old man, I promise.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said:

- Huuh, well, that's nice, now you can retire.

- Ha-ha-ha, but you are still in the dawn of strength, where are you going to retire? I laughed.

- Oh, come on - he waved his hand and began to leave

- Hey, Genzo-san. - I called him.

- What? - The sheriff turned.

- Catch - And threw him a bag of belli: - It will come in handy.

The old man narrowed his eyes and asked:

- What's there?

I grinned and said:

- Open it when we sail away and you will find out.

He nodded and continued walking away.

I sighed and smiled. Well? It's time to leave, where is this girl?

What happened next? Well, not hard to guess. The very scene where Nami is robbing local residents nevertheless happened, and we had to urgently sail away. Yes, it was fun, but there is even more fun ahead, so ...

- Set sail! Heading to the Barati restaurant!
