Now That's What You Call a Genius Navigator

"Oh!"

The moment Nami finished burping, she realized how "unladylike" her behavior was and immediately reached out to cover her mouth with her hands.

But everyone else present saw the small white cloud that she burped out.

The other "adults" wouldn't rashly comment on Nami's "burping out clouds" behavior.

However, Bonney, the youngest of the girls, did not have this psychological barrier.

"Nami- neechan is amazing!"

Wearing her "Bear" battle suit, Bonney dashed to Nami's side and grabbed the latter's pant leg, shaking it vigorously.

"Clouds! Cotton candy! Sheep!"

Nami, her cheeks flushed, couldn't stand Bonney's constant noise and looked at Storm with a slightly pitiful expression.

"Now that I've eaten the [Cloud Fruit], I should get used to my abilities more."

Storm raised his right hand and unleashed the power of the [Clay Fruit], assimilating his entire right hand into shapeless clay.

"You can do it, Nami."

"I can do it!"

Nami took a deep breath.

She mimicked Storm's movements, slowly raising her hands and awkwardly using the [Cloud Fruit] ability.

In that instant, her arms transformed into pure white clouds.

These clouds seemed to be "infectious," spreading rapidly from Nami's arms to her torso and even her legs.

Bonney, who had just been gripping Nami's pant leg tightly, suddenly found herself holding nothing.

"Eh? Nami- neechan!"

Bonney flailed her arms wildly, trying to grab Nami, who was inexplicably out of her grasp.

However, her violent movements directly "broken" Nami's legs.

Nami's legs, which had just barely maintained their slender shape, completely lost their original shape after Bonney's disturbance, turning into clumps of drifting white clouds.

Pale white clouds surrounded Nami's body, supporting her as she slowly floated into the air.

"Huh? Huh???"

Nami also felt her body break free from the earth's constraints.

It was as if with just a thought, she could fly directly to the sky.

That's what Nami thought, and that's what she did.

In an instant, she transformed into a white cloud, slowly rising into the air, getting higher and higher above the ground, until she crashed headfirst into the ceiling of Jelma Castle.

Puff--

The instant Nami crashed into the ceiling of Jelma Castle, her entire shape was instantly shattered, and she completely lost her human form, turning directly into a white cloud.

"Nami has disappeared!"

Bonney immediately tensed up, looking around for Nami.

But just then, Nami's voice floated down from the ceiling again.

Bonney, I'm right here!

White clouds gathered and took shape, Nami fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the castle ground, shattering her legs, but she quickly returned to her original form.

"Nami- neechan!"

When Bonney saw Nami reappear, she took her short legs and bumped into Nami, trying to grab her legs.

But Bonney's headbutt was like hitting an untouchable cloud, passing right through Nami's body.

Bonney, having missed her target, turned around, unwilling to give up, and tried to hug Nami again.

But once again, they came up empty-handed.

When Bonney lunged at Nami for the third time.

Nami stopped consciously maintaining her natural ability, bent down and picked up Bonney, then patted Bonney's head with a grin.

"Sister Nami..."

Bonney was picked up by Nami, but she still couldn't forget the strange experience she had just had.

She reached out her small hand and carefully pinched Nami's cheek, giving it a gentle squeeze.

Puff--

It was as if she had crushed a cloud; white mist swirled between Bonney's fingers.

At the same time, a "hole" appeared on Nami's face, from which white mist continuously flowed.

Bonney stared at the empty space on Nami's face, completely terrified. She froze, at a loss for what to do.

A moment later.

Bonney suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice trembling with a hint of a sob.

"Daddy! I broke Nami!!"

"Silly boy!"

Nami casually wiped her face, restoring it to its original state.

Then she released clusters of solid white mist and, imitating Storm, sculpted a white cloud bear for Bonney.

With tears in her eyes, Bonney took the white cloud bear. She felt that the bear was so light that it was almost weightless.

"Amazing... as amazing as Lord Storm..."

Bonney's unintentional remark instantly brought a smile to Nami.

"Haha! Actually, I'm not that amazing!"

Overjoyed, Nami used her powers to sculpt one cloud bear after another for Bonney.

The men present showed little interest in the "White Cloud Bear".

But the women are quite different.

Robin casually picked up a white cloud bear and felt a cold, soft touch in his hand.

"This feeling is like the Island Cloud over Sky Island..."

Perona, standing next to Storm, also curiously picked up a small white cloud bear.

"Wow~ So light! So cool! And the white bear is so cute!"

"Little bear! Little bear!"

Bonney held a white cloud bear in her hand, but her eyes were also drawn to the other white cloud bears. She struggled in Nami's arms.

Nami let go of Bonney, who was struggling, and allowed her to pounce on the little white cloud bears.

She herself drifted like a cloud to Storm's side.

"Captain!"

Nami's cheeks were flushed, and she looked excited and thrilled.

"This [Cloud Fruit] is so much fun!"

Fun...

Storm raised an eyebrow.

At that moment, he truly felt that giving the Cloud- Cloud Fruit to Nami was the right decision!

If someone were to eat Devil Fruit that they completely dislike, it would definitely affect the use and development of the Devil Fruit's abilities.

However, if someone encounters Devil Fruit that perfectly suits them and that they personally love, then it can only be described in four words—like adding wings to a tiger!

Just then, Nami suddenly stretched out her hands and transformed her palms into white clouds.

"Captain! Look!"

Nami put her hands together and suddenly rubbed them together vigorously.

The friction between clouds causes free electrons with positive and negative properties to collide.

Rumble...

A muffled rumble of thunder suddenly echoed through Jelma Castle.

At the same time.

Nami's "White Cloud Hands" transformed into "Dark Cloud Hands," with silvery-white arcs of electricity weaving back and forth between her hands, constantly flashing and bursting with dazzling electric light.

Those flashes of lightning were the source of that thunder just now!

How much time had passed since Nami ate the Cloud- Cloud Fruit?

Naturalization, flight, shape change, triboelectricity...

Storm looked at the Lightning around Nami's hands and slowly gave her a thumbs up.

"As expected of my genius navigator!"

"Hey-hey!"

Nami waved her hands, instantly unleashing two bolts of Lightning.

Boom!

Amidst a deafening clap of thunder, two bright, twisted bolts of electricity shot out, immediately striking the ground of Jelma Castle and leaving two charred marks.

Standing to the Kid, Kidd fell silent as he watched Nami unleash two bolts of electricity.

As Devil Fruit User [Magnet-Magnet Fruit], he has been diligently studying lately and has roughly grasped the meaning of one sentence:

Magnetism generates electricity, and electricity generates magnetism.

However.

The distance between "knowledge" and "practice" is immense.

Kid still hasn't mastered any "magnetic power generation" techniques.

Nami can now generate electricity just by rubbing her hands together...

Is this the difference between people?

Kid was completely numb.

As luck would have it, Storm happened to turn his gaze over there.

"Kid! Look at Nami!"

Storm stared at the "Magnetic Man" and suddenly asked a question.

"She can even generate thunder, can you generate electricity?"

Kid lowered his head and answered dryly.

"No, you can't."

"Kid! You're so lazy!"

After torturing Kid, Storm moved on to torturing the other two guys.

"Ace! Killer! Physique! Haki!"

Yes! x2

"Great! Very energetic!"

Storm opened his arms and suddenly put on a bright smile.

"With two new companions joining us, let's all have a feast!"

"Yay!!"

As mentioned before.

On the high seas, there's no problem that a feast can't solve.

If so, then two meals!

While everyone was busily preparing the food for the banquet.

Suddenly, Storm called out to someone.

"Ace, come out with me for a bit."

Ace, who was called to a stop, immediately put down his carrying work and rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon with Storm.

"What's up?"

"I hadn't decided whether or not to tell you about this."

Storm piloted the Blue-Eyes White Dragon into the sky, creating an open space for the two to talk.

"However, considering the other party's identity, I feel it is still necessary to talk to you."

"Ace, what do you think of the other members of Roger Pirates?"

Upon hearing this, Ace was stunned.

Several seconds passed before he slowly spoke.

"I don't know the other members of Roger Pirates... Everyone has their own adventure."

"What if I told you that I just captured the First Mate of the Roger Pirates — Pluton Silvers Rayleigh, the Dark King?"

"I said it in a flat tone, "Storm said.

"Furthermore, I have already made a deal with the World Government using Pluton Rayleigh, and the [Cloud Fruit] that Nami just ate was a 'deposit' from the World Government."

"Will you still feel indifferent?"

"Pluton Rayleigh?"

Ace recognized the name.

Because the old man had told him many stories about the Roger Pirates.

He himself had also gathered some intelligence information.

Legend has it that the Roger Pirates had three trump cards: gold, silver, and bronze.

"Gold" -- Gol D. Roger.

"Silver" -- Silbaz Rayleigh.

"Copper" -- Spark Gaban.

The Roger Pirates' reputation was built on the backs of these three.

Over decades of sailing, Roger, Rayleigh, and Gaban forged an incredibly deep friendship.

In a sense.

Rayleigh could be considered Ace's "uncle"!

And now.

Storm "sold" Rayleigh to the World Government.

Ace glanced sideways and pursed his lips.

"It doesn't matter... I don't know Rayleigh anyway."

Has anyone ever told you that your lying skills are terrible?

Storm couldn't help but twitch his lips as he watched Ace's exaggerated facial expressions.

"Your personality is still quite awkward!"

"Alright, come with me! I'll take you to see that Pluton Rayleigh!"
