Chapter -51 - 18: Strengthening the Crew 2 (2/2)
”Little Garden.” Narmi replied with an evil smirk in his face. Robin and Henry paled when they heard about their destination, while Nami just affirmed her captain's order energetically, oblivious to what that place is.
” Captain, why are we heading there? Aren't there many places which we can go?” Robin asked him.
”We are going to start our training there. As of now, you guys are weak. I need to train you guys so that you guys can be stronger, strong enough until no one will dare to mess with you guys. Strong enough until when you said Grand King, they will kneel before you. Don't worry, I will protect you guys there. That is my duty as a captain.”
Robin and Henry look relieved with his statement. They then went on to continue onto their work. But before they went away, Narmi approached Henry and asked him a question.
” Henry, what type of devil fruit you think are strong? And if you were to be given one will you take it?”
”Hmm... According to what I heard from my father, a Logia-type Devil Fruit is the strongest. Personally, I thought so too and if I were to be given one, i will take it. Well if I were to be given one, I hope it was a fire one so that I can used it both in combat and cooking.”
Hearing his answers, Narmi grinned and quickly turned his head away to avoid Henry and asked the system.
” System, what is the price of Mera Mera No Mi?” He whispered.
[ Mera Mera no Mi is a Logia-Type Devil Fruit. It was priced at 50000 points. In fact all Logia-Type is priced at 50000 points. Zoan-Type priced at 30000 points while Paramecia-Type priced at 10000 points. ]
” Can I use the reward to get Mera Mera no Mi for my crewmates?”
[ Sorry, host but the reward can only be used on host. If you want to buy for your crewmates you need to use the Shop ]
”It's okay then. For now, buy me Mera Mera no Mi and a Potion of Dispel Curse. Thank you System”
[ Mera Mera no Mi and Potion of Dispel Curse had been bought. Please take it from the Inventory ]
Narmi then turned back to Henry that had his face full of confusion when his captain went silence after he asked the question.
Narmi then handed him Mera Mera no Mi and the Potion while saying ” This Devil Fruit is a Logia-Type and much coincidentally a Fire one. Eat it and then chug this potion down.”
Henry's face full of joy when he heard his captain gave him a devil fruit and a fire one at. He followed what his captain said and bite the devil fruit only to feel a disgusting taste. He tried to puke it but the Devil fruit had fully absorbed into his body.
He felt the power that welled up inside his body but notice like there is a shackle that bound it. When he turned towards his captain, he saw Narmi is grinning towards him.
”You felt like there is a shackle right? That shackle is the curse of Devil Fruit. You can't swim in the sea and if you are get caught with Seastone, you are a dead meat. Now chug the potion”
Henry finally understood when his captain explained about it. Although he felt weird when his captain ask him to chug the potion, he just followed his order. Then, he felt and indescribable refreshness like how his body used to be before eating the Devil Fruit. He noticed the shackle that bound him down also gone.
”That potion can dispel the curse of Devil Fruit so don't worry. Right now you are invulnerable towards the weakness of Devil Fruit.”
Henry is not an idiot, oblivious to the world. He knows that the potion that he just chugged down is a rare potion that the world try to find, or maybe create to cover the Devil Fruit's weakness. If this was know, they will become a target of the pirates and Marines.
Narmi just grinned seeing his actions and dismissed him so that he can went back to his work. Robin who watched this from the side, float a knowing gentle smile towards him.
Narmi, the one who received the smile, again had his heart charmed with her smiles and quickly went away to his room to avoid from Robin to notice his face blushing in embarassment.
For now, destination set for Little Garden. Onwards, Errege.
