Xi Yan, I Love You to Death!!!

"Is this Logia?" Nami asked.

"That's right." Xi Yan nodded and said, "It's Logia ability that allows for Elementalization."

"After eating it..."

Before Xi Yan could finish speaking, Nami exclaimed, "Wouldn't that mean we could sell it for even more money?!"

Xi Yan:???

Girl, all you know about is money, huh?

"Logia can indeed fetch an astronomical price," Rayleigh said with a chuckle. "At least a billion Beli!"

Logia- type Devil Fruit are extremely rare; even selling them for a billion Beli is considered low.

"That would be even better!" Nami exclaimed excitedly.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is Logia!" Perona exclaimed, dumbfounded.

Why would they sell something like this for money?

What is Nami thinking?

"So what?" Nami said, her eyes gleaming with greed. "Wouldn't it be better if we could exchange it for money?"

Perona:...

Perona opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Xi Yan shook his head helplessly, then noticed Luffy's unpleasant expression.

What's wrong with you now?

"I just remembered the taste of this thing," Luffy said, his face scrunched up.

Upon hearing this, Nami looked curious and asked, "What does it taste like?"

"Like shit..."

Xi Yan:???

Nami:...

What kind of description is this?

Xi Yan looked at Luffy with a shocked expression, as if to say: You've even eaten that stuff?

"Devil Fruit indeed hard to eat," Shakky said, tapping her cigarette ash. "But compared to what we got, it's nothing."

It might taste bad for a while, but the skills you gain will last a lifetime!

"That's true."

Xi Yan nodded, then turned to Nami and said, "Nami, don't even think about selling this for money. We're not short of cash right now."

Nami:???

Nami looked at Xi Yan with a puzzled expression and said, "What do you mean... we don't lack money right now?"

They do have a lot of money with Merry, but they're not exactly flush with cash.

"Have you forgotten where I got this Devil Fruit?" Xi Yan said with a smirk.

Upon hearing this, Nami was immediately stunned.

Then, she looked at Xi Yan with a mixture of anticipation and shock, and said, "Could it be... you..."

"That's right, I stole a lot of treasure from Mary Geoise!" Xi Yan grinned. "Now our Straw Hat Pirates don't need to worry about money!!"

"Gurgle..."

Nami swallowed subconsciously, then asked cautiously, "How... how many?"

Xi Yan thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "As for Beli... he has around 30 billion now."

The room fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

Then, Perona exclaimed in shock, "Steal... Steal Young Master?!"

Three hundred billion!

"Three..."

Perona swallowed hard, speechless with shock.

She'd never even heard of such a large sum of money; she wouldn't even dare to dream of it!

So... so Xi Yan managed to get all that money?!

"How much meat would that be?!" Luffy exclaimed, staring at Xi Yan in shock.

Xi Yan thought for a moment, then said, "That should be enough for you... a hundred years?"

"No... it should be that we couldn't finish eating it even in a hundred years."

"That's... that's great!"

The thought of having an endless supply of meat to eat made Luffy laugh excitedly.

Seeing this, Xi Yan smiled, then looked at Nami, who had lowered her head for some reason, and said, "So, Nami, you..."

Before Xi Yan could finish speaking, he found that Nami had rushed in front of him in an instant.

Then, Nami hugged Xi Yan tightly, excitedly shouting, "Xi Yan, I love you to death!!"

"Huh?"

Xi Yan, who was being held in Nami's arms, was stunned for a moment. Why was he suddenly given a face wash?

But... isn't Nami's growth a bit too exaggerated?

Feeling the touch on his face, Xi Yan fell into deep thought.

"Three hundred billion... three hundred billion!" Nami exclaimed excitedly, "That's three hundred billion!!!"

From this day forward, the Straw Hat Pirates will become a wealthy pirate crew!

Thinking of this, Nami hugged Xi Yan even more excitedly.

Xi Yan:...

"Cough... Nami, you're almost out of breath," Xi Yan said, patting Nami on the shoulder.

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

Nami released Xi Yan, reached out to pat Xi Yan on the back to help him catch his breath, and said, "I was a little excited for a moment..."

"Phew~"

After letting out a long sigh, Xi Yan shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

He could understand Nami, after all, her childhood was...

Thinking of this, Xi Yan sighed silently.

Nami, meanwhile, was trying hard to control her breathing, clearly attempting to calm herself down.

But the thought of Xi Yan getting so much money made it impossible for her to remain calm.

"Calm down," Xi Yan said; "There might be more in the future, who knows?"

However... Xi Yan's words did not calm Nami down; instead, her breathing became even more rapid.

Three hundred billion is already outrageous enough, but there's more... how much money would that be?

Thinking about this, Nami's eyes turned into the shape of coins.

Seeing this, Xi Yan felt somewhat helpless. It seemed that calming this guy down wasn't an easy task.

Afterwards, Xi Yan looked away, intending to wait until Nami calmed down before speaking.

After a while, Nami gradually calmed down, and her eyes returned to normal.

Seeing this, Xi Yan nodded and then said, "Now you understand what I just said, right?"

"Um."

Xi Yan smiled upon hearing this, then picked up the Logia - Cloud Cloud Fruit and placed it in Nami's hand.

Then, Xi Yan stared into Nami's eyes and said, "So just eat this. There's no need to sell it for money."

Having regained her composure, Nami glanced at the Devil Fruit in her hand and said, "Logia Devil Fruit...?"

She had indeed given up the idea of selling it for money, but the thought of becoming unable to swim after eating the Devil Fruit made Nami hesitate again.

"Eat it," Xi Yan said. "This is an ability I specially chose for you."

Nami was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then asked in confusion, "Was it specially chosen for me?"

"What kind of ability is this?"

Why did Xi Yan feel that this Devil Fruit was the most suitable for her?

"This Devil Fruit is called the Cloud Cloud Fruit," Shakky said, taking out Illustrated Handbook of the Devil Fruit illustration she had obtained from Xi Yan. "It has the ability to create and manipulate clouds."

"You like to use the weather in battle, so this ability is indeed very suitable for you."

After saying that, Shakky pushed the Devil Fruit Illustrated Handbook forward, gesturing for Nami to take a look.

"Cloud Cloud Fruit, huh...?"

Nami squeezed next to Xi Yan, looked down at the Devil Fruit Illustrated Handbook on the table, and carefully read through the description of the Devil Fruit.

After a moment, she murmured, "This ability... is indeed very suitable for me."

At that moment, a feeling arose in Nami's heart.

That is... she has a special connection with this Devil Fruit!

"After Nami eats this Devil Fruit, will she be able to create clouds like those on Skypiea?" Luffy asked curiously.

If that's really the case, Nami could lift their pirate ship up and make it fly in the air!

As if recalling that scene, Luffy's eyes gradually began to light up.

"Um..."

Rayleigh stroked his chin and then said, "That's possible."

The clouds on the Skypiea may be a bit unusual, but they're still clouds after all.

"The clouds on Skypiea..." Nami thought for a moment, then said, "Speaking of which... could the clouds on Skypiea have been created by the user of this Devil Fruit?"

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why clouds can lift islands into the air!

"That's possible," Shakky nodded.

If a Logia Devil Fruit ability is developed to the point of Awakening, it is possible to permanently create certain terrain features.

Then, Shakky looked at Nami and asked, "Want some?"

"This ability is indeed very good for you."

If developed powerful enough, it's not impossible for a scene of Myriad Thunder Bombardment the ground to occur.

After hearing Shakky's words, Nami did not answer immediately, but instead lowered her head and pondered seriously.

After a moment, she looked up and said, "I need to draw Navigation Chart, so becoming a landlubber wouldn't help..."

Nami didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.

If you become unable to swim, you won't be able to go to sea to draw blueprints anymore.

"This problem is easy to solve," Xi Yan said. "First, we can send the Shark Submarine from the Thousand Sunny into the water to inspect the situation."

"Secondly... I have developed a new technique that can solve this problem."

Nami, who was thinking about the Shark Submarine's capabilities, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Xi Yan with a puzzled expression and asked, "What technique?"

What technique can solve her problem of being unable to swim?

"I can use the resin unique to the Sabaody Archipelago, combined with Water Release Technique, to create a special membrane," Xi Yan explained. "This membrane can adhere to someone's body and block seawater."

"This way, it won't affect swimming ability, and it will also allow people to breathe underwater!!!"

This is one of the techniques he developed on Amazon Lily over the past two years; it's considered a very practical ability.

"There's such Ninjutsu?" Nami exclaimed, looking at Xi Yan in shock.

So if that's the case... eating Devil Fruit you can still go back to sea!

"Hey, hey, hey, is this for real?"

Perona stared at Xi Yan in shock, clearly not expecting him to have developed such Ninjutsu.

So... does that mean she'll have the chance to swim in the sea in the future?

Rayleigh exchanged a glance with Shakky, then remarked with a sigh, "What an amazing kid."

If he can develop Ninjutsu like this... what can't he do?

Now, even if the other side pulled out a Ninjutsu that could revive the dead, neither of them would be surprised.

"Hey, Xi Yan, you actually have this kind of ability?!" Luffy looked at Xi Yan excitedly and said, "Then does that mean I can swim in the sea?!"

"Of course," Xi Yan said with a smile.

"Very good!"

Luffy up, grabbed Xi Yan's arm, and said, "Quick, quick, let's go try it now!"

Since becoming Devil Fruit User, he has never swum again...

This time, he's determined to have some fun!

"What's the rush?" Xi Yan, looking speechless, rolled his eyes at Luffy and said, "Can't we play around when we set off?"

Seriously, this guy is always so impatient.

"I see..."

Luffy scratched his head, then nodded and said, "Alright then."

Let's wait until we set off to really explore this ability.

Xi Yan nodded, then looked at Nami and said, "Do you still have any concerns now?"

"How long can this technique last?" Nami asked.

"That depends on the amount of resin used," Xi Yan explained. "But under normal circumstances... it should last for half a day without any problems."

He has no shortage of Chakra, but the resin cannot be replenished when it is worn away in water, so this technique cannot be used for a long time.

But half a day is enough.

"Then I'm all set," Nami nodded.

Half a day is more than enough time for her to complete the underwater terrain survey!

With that thought in mind, Nami decisively picked up the Devil Fruit in her hand and took a bite.

"Snap!"

Nami:...

The moment Nami took the bite, her face turned green.

Then, Nami tried to spit out what was in her mouth.

Xi Yan swiftly covered Nami's mouth with his hand, saying at the same time, "Don't spit it out, this thing is worth over a billion!"

Nami:!!!

After hearing Xi Yan's words, Nami was reminded once again of the value of this Devil Fruit.

Then, she resolutely swallowed the Devil Fruit in her mouth.

"That's more like it," Xi Yan said with a smile, releasing his grip. "This way..."

Before Xi Yan could finish speaking, he noticed Nami picking up the Devil Fruit again and crunching away at it.

She moved so fast, it looked like she was afraid someone would snatch it from her.

Xi Yan:...

Isn't it said that Devil Fruit work from the very first bite? Why isn't Nami stopping?

Watching Nami completely devour the Devil Fruit, Xi Yan fell into deep thought.

"Um?"

Luffy looked at Nami with a puzzled expression and said, "Nami, why did you eat it all?"

"Could it be... that the Devil Fruit you ate was delicious?"

That shouldn't be the case; his instincts told him that Devil Fruit were as disgusting as shit.

"Tasty?"

Despite feeling unwell, Nami picked up a tissue from the table, wiped her mouth, and then said, "Delicious my ass!"

"This stuff tastes awful, like shit!"

If this stuff is delicious, then there's nothing in the world that tastes bad!

Xi Yan:???

No, why is it this review again?

Have you all tried it?

Or is this... an instinctive reaction after eating Devil Fruit?

Thinking of this, Xi Yan fell into deep thought once again.

"If it didn't taste good, why did you eat it all?" Perona said, her lips twitching.

Having eaten Devil Fruit, she knew all too well what it tasted like.

"Of course it's because this thing is valuable!" Nami said.

This is Devil Fruit worth over a billion!

So... no matter how awful it tastes, she'll eat it all!

Perona:...

Looking at Nami's serious expression, Perona paused for a moment, then said with admiration, "As expected of a woman who can resist my Negative Ghost with just the will to make money."

This kind of willpower to love money is something no one else can match.

Nami smiled, then began to look down and feel the changes in her body.

"Nami, how do you feel?" Luffy asked curiously as he leaned closer.

"My body seems to have changed."

Nami frowned and said, "But if I had to explain it, I wouldn't be able to."

Hearing Nami's words, Xi Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Wouldn't eating Devil Fruit grant you an instinctive ability to gain basic information?"

"No," Shakky shook her head and said, "This requires the ability user to figure it out themselves."

After eating Devil Fruit, one can indeed instinctively know how to unleash its power, but the specific changes that will occur can only be known after the power is released.

"So we can't get basic information immediately, huh?" Xi Yan said with some disdain. "That's quite troublesome."

Compared to this, my own Mangekyō Sharingan is much more advanced!

After all... the moment he Awakening his ability, he already knew the basic information about it!
