Chapter -26 - 43: Training Nefertari Vivi 3 (1/2)

One week later

Law, Henry and Nami had started their expedition as per what Narmi ordered. They planned to head towards Water 7 trying to find Law's friends. Meanwhile, after having a talk about his plan on training Vivi with Cobra, Narmi got the king's approval and quickly started Vivi's training.

His aim was to get Vivi level on the level of Shichibukai. Because the area around Alabasta was the place where newcomer pirates started to emerge. So it wasn't that hard to trained her to that level.

If she was done training earlier than he expected, then he could continue his journey. As for now, he was at the courtyard of Alubarna Palace, waiting for Vivi and Robin to came. The devil fruit of Crocodile was in his inventory, and he wanted to give Vivi the devil fruit.

After a few minutes of waiting, Vivi and Robin finally came. Vivi sported a casual clothes for training. Although it wasn't look very luxurious, it still could highlight her beauty.

Seeing as they had came, Narmi went up from his seat and went towards them. He then just smiled towards Robin before turning his heads to Vivi.

”Vivi, like what I said, I would train you. But, the you right now was very weak, without any power to complement you. So, here take this.”

Narmi then hold out Suna Suna No Mi that were in his inventory towards her. Vivi was shocked that Narmi readily gave her a devil fruit. She then proceed to ask him about it.

”What is this devil fruit? Why are you giving it to me? Isn't it a loss for you if you were to give it to me? I couldn't follow you on your journey.”

”This devil fruit was Suna Suna No Mi. As for why I want to give it to you, it was so you can protect this place like what you had said before. And also, I had some people that I had my eyes on, but they wouldn't came here until 3 years later maybe. It wasn't at a loss for me. I need your help with something, so giving you help me to achieve my purpose.”

Narmi explained his reasoning. After that, he shoved the fruit into Vivi's hand, signalling her to quickly eat it. Vivi hesitated about it as she thought that she wasn't worth it for them to invest the devil fruit upon. But when she raised her head and saw the look in Narmi and Robin's faces, she eat it in a hurry.

When her teeth sunk into the fruit, she had started to feel the disgusting taste of it. Steeling her heart, trying to ignore the taste, she quickly took a bite and went for another bite. But before she could take another bite, Narmi and Robin stop her.

”You don't need to finish the fruit. The first bite had help to integrate the power of the devil fruit into your body. The bites after that won't have any effect at all.” Narmi explained about the devil fruit.

His explanation brought a wave of relief in her heart. It was because she didn't need to finish the fruit and have the disgusting taste on her taste bud many times more. Then, she tried to use her power and could detect the changes with her body. She could particles of sand flying about around her.

She could guees the power of the devil fruit but still turned her head towards both of them for their confirmation. Seeing the look on her face, Narmi continue to explain.
