Fighting with Wood Style Was the Same!

Hearing Xi Yan's words, Shakky rolled her eyes and said, "What's the trouble?"

"Why not just unleash your power instinctively once?"

Anyway, this isn't a troublesome thing for people with special abilities, is it?

"That's true." Xi Yan nodded, then turned to Nami and said, "Nami, you ate the Cloud Cloud Fruit, you can try creating some clouds."

Nami nodded upon hearing this, then raised her hand to unleash her power.

The next moment...

"Pfft~"

Xi Yan:???

Looking at Nami's arm that had turned into a cloud, several question marks immediately popped into Xi Yan's head.

Weren't you supposed to be making clouds? Why did you turn your arm into a cloud?

"I'm not quite there yet," Nami said awkwardly. "I'll try again."

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and carefully sensed it.

A moment later, she restored her arm to its original state, and then used her power to create a cloud above everyone's heads.

Nami glanced at her masterpiece and a smile appeared on her face.

Now she understands exactly how to use this ability, and it has to be said that this Devil Fruit ability is a perfect fit for her!

"Amazing!"

Luffy, staring intently at the white cloud, exclaimed with shining eyes, "It looks just like a cotton candy!"

As if he were thinking of the taste of cotton candy, Luffy's Kakuzu watered.

Xi Yan:...

What kind of description is this?

After shaking his head, Xi Yan looked at Nami and said, "How about the ability I chose for you?"

"I'm very satisfied," Nami said with a smile. "Thank you, Xi Yan!"

"I'm glad you're satisfied," Xi Yan nodded.

With this Devil Fruit power, Nami gained the ability to protect herself.

"Develop them well," Rayleigh said. "Logia abilities are quite powerful if developed properly."

If this little girl is lucky enough to Awakening her Devil Fruit... it's not impossible for her to single-handedly defeat an entire fleet.

After all... this little girl can make thunder!

"Yes, I will try my best," Nami nodded.

Since she chose to eat this Devil Fruit, she wouldn't waste its power.

As she pondered this, Nami took out her Clima-Tact and began to figure out how to use her abilities to launch an attack.

'Clouds... weather...'

If used properly, she can freely create all sorts of weather!

Thinking about this, Nami fell into deep thought.

"Why are you still holding this?" Xi Yan asked Nami in surprise.

This guy could create lightning even before he ate Devil Fruit, so why can he still do it now that he's eaten Devil Fruit?

"I need some time to adjust," Nami said helplessly.

Ultimately, she has only just eaten Devil Fruit, and it will take time for her to develop various powerful abilities.

So before that, she still had to use the Clima-Tact for assistance.

"Hmm... that makes sense."

This thing isn't the Sharinggan after all; it doesn't automatically become a powerful fighting force just Awakening it, so Nami's statement is reasonable.

She definitely needs some time to develop and adapt to her abilities!

But... they might not have that much time...

'If the World Government finds out I'm still alive, these guys will pounce on me like Mad Dog!' Xi Yan murmured to himself.

By then, Nami won't have the chance to slowly develop her abilities.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he thought to himself, 'I'll use Wood Style to fight first.'

At least, this is a capability that no World Government has ever seen before.

Then, Xi Yan looked at Nami and said, "You should focus on developing your abilities during this time and try to turn them into combat power as soon as possible."

"Good."

Nami nodded, then went to the side to study her own abilities.

She needs to familiarize herself with her abilities as soon as possible so that she can transform them into effective combat power!

"Nami, Nami!" Luffy leaned closer, his face full of anticipation. "Make me a cloud that can fly."

He really wants to experience what it feels like to fly on clouds!

As if recalling a certain scene, Luffy's eyes lit up.

Nami:???

Nami, who was fiddling with the cloud in her hands, suddenly had several question marks on her face.

Then, looking at Luffy speechlessly, she said, "Do I look like someone who could do something like that?"

She just gained those powers, you bastard!

How could she possibly make something like that right after gaining her abilities? She should at least have some time to adjust to them before anything happens!

"Huh?"

"Can't you create a cloud that can fly?" Luffy looked disappointed and said, "That ability seems a bit useless..."

"Click!"

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Nami's face immediately contorted with rage. What did this bastard mean by that?!

"It's perfectly normal that I can't do it right now that I've just gained this ability, you bastard!" Nami roared, opening her shark mouth.

Then, Nami raised her fist and knocked Luffy to the ground with a single punch!

"Bump!"

"Ouch... it hurts so much!"

Clutching the large bump on his head, Luffy protested, "Nami, why did you hit me again?"

"You little brat, you deserve a beating!" Nami said irritably.

She just gained her abilities and comes here to say things like that—isn't that just asking for a beating?

"Oh..."

Luffy with a slightly aggrieved look, then looked at Nami with expectant eyes and said, "Then, will you be able to make those flying clouds someday?"

Nami thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It should be fine."

Given enough time, she should be able to develop a cloud system capable of carrying other people.

Upon hearing this, Luffy's face lit up with a smile again. He then jumped up from the ground and said, "Then you absolutely must make that flying cloud as soon as possible!!"

He's really looking forward to it!

"Good."

Nami nodded, then waved her hand and said, "Go eat something, don't disturb me while I'm developing my abilities."

"Profound!"

Perona:...

"This..."

Perona, who had witnessed this entire process, hesitated, wondering if the Straw Hat Pirates ' composition was a bit too complicated.

The crew beat up the captain, and the captain wasn't even angry... This is...

"This is how we get along on our ship," Xi Yan said with a smile. "You'll get used to it."

"Well... okay."

Although she doesn't know what's going on, she'll get used to it eventually.

After shaking her head, Perona floated up, flew to Nami's side, and landed.

Then, she said to Nami, "I also have some experience in developing Devil Fruit, let me help you."

"Good!"

Seeing this, Xi Yan smiled and then turned his gaze to Rayleigh and Shakky.

"Um?"

What's wrong with you?

"This little girl knows Armament Haki," Rayleigh said, stroking his chin. "And... her skill level seems quite high."

"Really."

Shakky nodded in agreement.

"Armament Haki?"

Xi Yan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then laughed and said, "It seems that Nami has become much stronger in the past two years as well."

He's even Armament Haki!

"Armament Haki, huh...?"

Perona glanced at Nami, a hint of envy appearing in her eyes.

She really wants that ability too...

Luffy, rubbing his head, said, "So Nami knows Armament Haki, no wonder it hurts so much..."

Now he understands why Nami's beating hurt so much—it's because she's mastered Armament Haki!

What are you talking about?

Nami, who overheard their conversation, turned around and looked at them, saying, "What Armament Haki?"

Xi Yan:???

No, what's with Nami's questioning tone?

Wasn't she using Armament Haki?

Thinking of this, Xi Yan asked, "Didn't you just use Armament Haki to attack Luffy?"

"No, I was just beating him up normally."

That simple sentence silenced Xi Yan.

Didn't he realize he possessed Armament Haki?

Or is it that... this tactic only works on your own people?

No, what kind of "Internal War God" is this?!

Rayleigh and Shakky had the same thought, and they gave Nami a look that was hard to describe.

Armament Haki internally... that's a bit far-fetched.

After a moment of silence, Shakky said, "It may sound a bit far-fetched, but at least Nami has Haki..."

After saying that, Shakky paused for a moment, then continued, "So let's find a way to put it to use."

"Hmm." Xi Yan nodded and said, "I will try to help Nami master this power."

This time, Shakky simply nodded and didn't say anything more.

"So, there's another power within me, right?" Nami said.

"Yes." Xi Yan nodded and said, "But there's no rush. You should master the ability first."

Mastering Armament Haki is no easy feat, so let's first figure out how to quickly acquire this Devil Fruit ability.

Seeing what Xi Yan had said, Nami stopped dwelling on the matter.

Seeing Nami lower her head to continue studying abilities with Perona, Xi Yan withdrew his gaze and then looked at Shakky, saying, "Shakky-jie, tell me some information about the New World."

They're about to head to the New World, so it's best to gather some intelligence first.

Shakky smiled upon hearing this, and then said, "Alright, then I'll tell you."

After summarizing the information in her mind, Shakky said, "Let's talk about the Four Emperors first."

"Okay." Xi Yan nodded.

"The Four Emperors?"

Upon hearing Nami immediately looked up at Shakky and said, "Shakky-jie, you can even get information like this?!"

Those are the Four Emperors!

"We definitely can't get the core intelligence," Shakky said calmly, tapping her cigarette ash. "But we can still get a general understanding of the situation."

"I see..."

After Nami finished speaking, she thought for a moment, then stood up and sat down on the stool next to Xi Yan, clearly intending to listen to what he had to say.

"You're not going to continue developing your skills?"

"There's no rush," Nami said. "Let's hear the information first."

As one of the Straw Hat Pirates' main newspaper buyers, Nami is well aware of the importance of information.

Seeing this, Perona also came over, pulled out a stool, and sat down.

Glancing at Perona, who had landed steadily on the stool, Xi Yan asked in confusion, "Aren't you in ghost form? How can you still touch things?"

He remembered that two years ago, this woman's ghost form shouldn't have been able to touch objects.

But what's going on now...? Could it be that some kind of special ability has been developed?

Just like Luffy developed Second Gear and Gear Third.

"I'm not the same person I was two years ago!" Perona said, raising her head. "Now, I can also transform into a ghost!"

Two years ago, she could only keep her soul in an untouchable state, but now she doesn't need to do that anymore, because she can now transform her physical body into a soul!

"That powerful?" Xi Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course!"

Perona was very satisfied with Xi Yan's reaction. She smiled and said, "I'm quite powerful now~"

Looking at Perona's confident expression, Rayleigh thought for a moment, then reminded her, "Little girl, it's a good thing to be confident."

"But if you rely too much on Devil Fruit abilities, you can easily suffer losses."

As someone who's been through it all, Rayleigh felt it necessary to give this young girl a heads-up.

"What's the meaning?"

Perona looked at Rayleigh with a puzzled expression. What did she mean by being overconfident in one's abilities and being prone to suffering losses?

Seeing this, Rayleigh shook his head, then glanced at Xi Yan, signaling him to demonstrate.

Having understood Rayleigh's meaning, Xi Yan smiled, then turned to Perona and said, "Perona, activate your Devil Fruit."

Simple words are not enough to convince her, so Xi Yan plans to use practical actions to make Perona understand Rayleigh's meaning.

Perona:???

Perona looked at Xi Yan with a puzzled expression. What did it mean to ask her to activate her ability?

However, Perona didn't ask any questions. Instead, she followed Xi Yan's advice and activated her ability, floating up from the chair.

"Alright, what do you want to do...?"

Before Perona could finish speaking, she noticed Xi Yan reaching out and grabbing her arm.

Perona:!!!

Seeing Xi Yan grab her arm, Perona's pupils shrank to their smallest size.

"How is this possible?!" Perona exclaimed in shock. "How could you touch my body?!"

Didn't she turn into a ghost?

Perona's eyes were filled with horror as she looked at Xi Yan's hand gripping her arm.
