Power Strong Enough to Change the Weather!

"Things have finally calmed down..."

Looking at the sun in the sky, Usopp let out a long sigh of relief.

"But the temperature is too high."

Looking at the blazing sun high in the sky, Chopper stuck out his tongue and said, "I feel so awful..."

He felt like he was going to die.

"Um?"

Looking at Chopper's pained expression, Perona asked in confusion, "Chopper, are you that sensitive to heat?"

Of course.

Chopper said weakly, "I was born on Winter Island, of course I'm afraid of the heat."

"Winter Island...?"

After carefully examining Chopper's fur, Perona nodded and said, "That's true."

With so much fur, it's understandable that Chopper is afraid of high temperatures.

"Let me fan you," Merry said, leaning closer.

After saying that, Merry activated her ability, creating a very gentle breeze that immediately cooled everyone down.

"You can even do something like that, Merry!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly, "That's amazing!"

Of course!

Merry said with a grin, "The wind is my friend!"

So... doing this kind of thing is nothing special!

"I'm all better!" Chopper shouted, fully recovered.

He loved that cool and refreshing feeling!

"That's good~" Merry said with a smile.

"This kind of weather is perfect for reading!" Nico Robin laughed.

After saying that, Nico Robin walked towards the higher part of the pirate ship, clearly intending to read a book on a recliner there.

Zoro scratched his head and said, "I actually think this kind of weather is more suitable for drinking."

"Drink wine?"

Xi Yan paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said, "How about we grill some deep-sea fish?"

This sweltering heat is perfect for drinking and enjoying some barbecue!

"Grilled deep-sea fish!"

Luffy's mouth, and he raised his hand, shouting, "I want to eat!"

"I want one too!"

"Sanji ~"

"We want to eat grilled deep-sea fish!"

"Okay, okay."

Sanji, who was leaning against the side of the boat smoking, exhaled a smoke ring and said, "It's almost lunchtime, I'll go make some for you."

After finishing speaking, Sanji tapped his cigarette ash and continued, "Xi Yan, bring out the deep-sea fish meat."

He remembered that Xi Yan had put the meat of the deep-sea fish into the scroll.

Xi Yan nodded upon hearing this, then reached into his Ninja Tool Bag and took out Sealing Scroll.

"Seal Released!"

"Bang!"

A puff of white smoke flashed, and an enormous chunk of Deep Sea Fish Meat appeared on the deck.

"Gurgle..."

Looking at the enormous piece of Deep Sea Fish Meat, Luffy subconsciously swallowed and said, "It looks so delicious!"

As he spoke, Luffy unconsciously leaned closer, looking as if he wanted to take a bite of the fish.

"Bang!"

After blocking Luffy with his leg, Sanji said irritably, "What do you think you're doing, kid?"

"I want... a taste!"

"What's there to taste? Wait until I've cooked it properly."

"But I'm hungry..."

"Me too!" Merry raised her hand.

"Then I'll make you some sashimi first," Sanji said.

After saying that, Sanji dragged the huge Deep Sea Fish Meat away from there.

However, getting the fish into the kitchen was a bit of a hassle because it was just too big.

After thinking for a moment, Sanji turned to Zoro and said, "Hey, Green Algae Head, come here and cut the Deep Sea Fish Meat open."

Zoro glanced at Sanji with some displeasure upon hearing this and said, "You really think I have to do this kind of thing? You're such a clumsy cook."

After uttering that curse, Zoro obediently walked over and quickly cut the fish into pieces.

Watching Zoro obediently cut the fish, Sanji nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well done!"

"Snort."

Zoro snorted upon hearing this, then turned and left.

Sanji didn't pay any attention, but carefully examined the Deep Sea Fish Meat in front of him, pondering what kind of dish he would make.

Grilled fish is definitely a must, but it's impossible to make just one dish.

"Hmm, let's make a few more dishes," Sanji muttered.

As he spoke, he led the ingredients into the kitchen.

After watching them leave, Luffy said expectantly, "I wonder what deep-sea fish dishes taste like."

"It must taste delicious!"

As he spoke, Luffy's saliva started flowing again.

"While Sanji cooking, I'll practice my abilities," Nami said.

Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "That's a great idea!"

After saying that, Usopp walked to the side, took out something, and began to use his ability to try to make it bigger.

"My current limit is ten times, let's see if I can increase it further..." Usopp muttered.

Nami, staring at the weather in the sky, asked, "Can I change the weather in this area?"

"Change the weather?"

Perona paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Nami in disbelief and said, "You're being a bit delusional."

She admitted that Nami's abilities were indeed quite impressive, and that she could even create Raiu on her own.

But the problem is... the clouds in nature and Nami's clouds are not the same thing, are they?

"Maybe it will work," Nami said.

Perona paused for a moment upon hearing this. Could her abilities really accomplish such a thing?

Impact on nature?

"If Nami can assimilate the clouds in the sky, she can do that kind of thing," Xi Yan said.

That would mean... Nami has mastered the power to change the weather!

"Changing the weather..." Merry, staring at the clouds, tilted her head and said, "If Nami can change the weather, does that mean she can also change the climate?"

Listening to Merry's group, Nami lowered her head and thought carefully for a moment, then looked up and said, "If I could modify the weather in an area for a long time, then I could indeed change the climate."

"But that's too difficult."

Activating abilities requires physical exertion, and she doesn't believe she can maintain special weather conditions for an extended period.

As for whether a permanent modification could be made effortlessly... she felt that was unlikely.

Even if she could reach the Awakening state that Xi Yan and Uncle Rayleigh mentioned, she still wouldn't be able to keep Yun here permanently.

After all... clouds can be blown away by the wind!

"I see..."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a permanent change to the climate," Xi Yan laughed. "As long as it's practical, that's enough."

"After all... Nami isn't some kind of environmental change master."

"That's right," Nami laughed. "As long as it works, that's fine."

Anyway, she never intended to permanently change the weather there, so she didn't need to consider that kind of thing.

"Oh right, Nami!"

As if he had just thought of something, Luffy got up from the ground and said, "Can you create a cloud that lets me fly?"

He's been thinking about this for a long time.

"Cloud..."

Nami thought for a moment, then said, "I'll give it a try."

After saying that, Nami lowered her head and began to activate her power, quickly creating a cloud of suitable size in front of her.

After doing that, Nami pressed it down again, and finding that the thickness was fine, Nami said, "Give it a try."

"Profound!"

Seeing Luffy running off excitedly, Xi Yan asked in surprise, "You actually made it?"

How long has it been? Less than two days.

As a result... Nami completely mastered how to use her ability?

Isn't this ability a perfect match for her?

"After the battle on Fish-Man Island, I just gained some inspiration," Nami laughed. "And I'm also more skilled at using my abilities than before."

"So it's not surprising that this was made."

Hearing Nami's words, a hint of emotion appeared on Xi Yan's face.

It has to be said, Nami is a genius too.

"It actually works!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly as he sat atop the cloud. "Great! I can fly now!"

"I want one too! I want one too!"

Chopper ran over excitedly, looked up at Nami, and said, "I want to ride a marshmallow too!"

"It's not a marshmallow."

Nami said with a hint of helplessness, "It's a cloud."

"Wow, it's a cloud!"

Chopper nodded adorably, then continued to look at Nami with expectant eyes; his cute appearance almost melted Nami's heart.

"I'll make it for you right away."

After saying that, Nami created another cloud.

Then, she picked Chopper up from the ground and placed him on the cloud.

"That's awesome!"

Chopper, perched on the cloud, twitched his ears and said, "So soft... so comfortable!"

With that, Chopper lowered his head and took a bite, then coughed and said, "It's definitely not sweet."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Everyone who saw this was immediately amused; how could this guy be so funny?

Nami couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at Chopper. She'd already told him it wasn't cotton candy, so why was he still biting into it?

"Alright, you two play now, I'm going to try changing the weather."

"Profound!"

"Go ahead, go ahead!"

Luffy and Chopper, lying on the cloud, waved without looking up, clearly not paying much attention to Nami's words.

Nami rolled her eyes at the sight. Those two...

After shaking her head, Nami went to the bow of the ship, closed her eyes, and began to release clouds, sending them flying into the sky.

Franky, standing at the bow of the ship, glanced at Nami curiously and then said, "Are you planning to send the cloud up into the sky?"

"Yes," Nami nodded.

"That's amazing!" Franky laughed.

"That's..." Nami said with a smirk, "Don't you know who I am?"

After witnessing that scene, Perona remarked with some emotion, "If Nami could really change the weather, wouldn't she be able to easily destroy a country?"

"Yes, absolutely." Brook nodded and said.

"Why do you say that?" Merry asked, puzzled.

It's just changing the weather, how could it destroy a country?

"To give an example," Xi Yan said, "An island that originally had a warm climate, and whose livelihood depended on the crops grown on the island."

"In this situation, if it suddenly starts raining or snowing Tenten on the island, what do you think will happen?"

Merry thought for a moment, then said, "Then... the crops will probably all die, right?"

My Grandma Za grows some vegetables at home. According to Grandma Za, these plants cannot be watered for a long time, otherwise they will be waterlogged and die.

"That's right, the crops will die." Xi Yan nodded and said, "Once the things we depend on for survival are gone, people lose the ability to feed themselves."

"We might be able to survive on government assistance for a short time, but in the long run..."

Xi Yan hadn't finished speaking, but everyone understood what he meant.

Over time, most people will starve to death.

Nico Robin wore a complicated expression.

Relying on state relief?

Of the countries on this vast sea, how many are willing to provide relief to civilians?

Thinking of this, Nico Robin sighed silently.

Nico Robin then thought to herself with relief, 'Thank goodness Nami was the one who took this power...'

If some ambitious person were to take this, then we're truly doomed!

"So Nami's abilities are this powerful," Zoro said in surprise.

"The strength of an ability cannot be judged solely by the strength of its combat power," Xi Yan laughed. "Besides... Nami's Devil Fruit power is not weak either."

"Putting everything else aside, not many people could withstand the lightning she struck."

Only a few of them were unharmed after being struck by lightning; if other, weaker people had been hit like that... they would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

"Thunder..."

Thinking about what happened on Fish-Man Island, the few people who had been struck by lightning instinctively shuddered and moved away from Nami.

Nami:...

Nami opened her eyes and saw this scene, then said somewhat speechlessly, "I didn't do it on purpose, is it really that serious?"

"Uh-huh!"

"We know that, so... let's aim for the target from now on," Xi Yan said.

Nami's lips twitched upon hearing this; why did she suddenly feel like punching this guy?

Thinking of this, Nami's eyes turned somewhat unfriendly.

Seeing this Xi Yan coughed lightly, then changed the subject, asking, "How's your cloud control coming along?"

Although she understood that Xi Yan was trying to change the subject, Nami still cooperated and said, "Well, how should I put it..."

Nami looked up at the sky, which was beginning to change color, and said, "I feel like my cloud can indirectly control the clouds in the sky, but..."

"But what?"

"But it's very difficult to operate," Nami explained. "Not only is the progress very slow, but it's also not as easy to operate as my own cloud."

It felt like... pulling an object with a rope, but it wasn't as convenient as grabbing it directly with your own fingers.

That's roughly the feeling.

As she thought about it, Nami increased the output of her power, making the sky even darker.

"I thought it was something serious," Xi Yan rolled his eyes and said, "This is just a normal thing."

"What's the meaning?"

"You've only had this ability for a short time," Xi Yan said irritably. "Even if this Devil Fruit is perfectly suited to you, you can't become a powerful ability user the moment you eat it."

Take your time.

"Once you've practiced for a while, you should be able to perfectly control the clouds in the sky."

"Oh, I see..." Nami said, "I thought that was the limit of Devil Fruit could do."

What she was thinking just now was that she wasn't capable of doing what she imagined.

In the end... it was just that I wasn't skilled enough?

That's actually good news.

"You've only been eating this for less than two days, how could you possibly reach your limit so quickly?" Xi Yan rolled his eyes at Nami and said, "Keep up the good work."

"Once you fully master this ability, you'll be the Weather Queen!"

"The Weather Queen, huh?"

As if she had just thought of something, Nami's eyes immediately lit up as she looked up at the dark clouds in the sky.

Then, she excitedly said, "So if there are places that lack Rainwater... can I charge money to make it rain?"

Xi Yan:???

Upon hearing Nami's words, several question marks immediately appeared above Xi Yan's head.

Dude, why is using this skill to make money the first thing you think of in a situation like this?

The others stared at Nami in disbelief, clearly not expecting her to utter such a statement.

"You..."

Seeing Nami's excited expression, Perona's lips twitched as she said, "As expected of the greedy Nami."

Seriously, it makes perfect sense that this guy could instantly escape the control of Negative Ghost just by using money.

That's too much of a money-lover!

"Thank you for the compliment~" Nami said with a smile.

Greedy?

What's wrong with being greedy!

Nami is a greedy, money-loving woman!

Snort!

"I think you'd be quite popular in Alabasta," Usopp retorted.

It doesn't rain much there, so... Vivi must really like Nami's ability.

"Vivi's country..."

As if she had just thought of something, Nami suppressed her excitement and said, "If I have the chance, I'll help her."

Perona glanced at Nami in surprise upon hearing this. Why was she suddenly so indifferent to money now?

With that in mind, Perona decided to say something.

Before she could speak, Nami said, "Of course, if she's willing to give me some compensation, I won't refuse."

Hehe~

After saying that, Nami, lost in her reverie, withdrew her power, clearly indicating that she had no intention of continuing to alter the weather.

After all... my current level of proficiency isn't high enough.

Perona:...

Hmm, the taste is right, it's still the same Nami.

Just then, two splashes were heard from the side of the boat, as if something had fallen into the sea.

"Help... gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

"Save..."

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

Everyone:???

The people who heard the noise were stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the side of the deck and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Where did those two clouds go?

And... where did Luffy and Chopper go?

Zoro, who had rushed to the side of the ship and glanced at the sea, immediately cursed, "How did these two idiots fall into the sea?"

Why would you jump into the ocean for no reason, you idiot!

Brook, who had come to his side, also changed his expression and said, "Oh no, Luffy and Chopper are going to sink!"

As he spoke, Brook jumped up, clearly intending to go into the sea to rescue the person.

Zoro, who was standing nearby, quickly pulled him back, then darted out himself, yelling, "You Devil Fruit User, don't cause trouble!"

"I'll take care of it!"

"Thump~"

Seeing that Zoro had already jumped in, Xi Yan stopped what he was doing and then asked in confusion, "How did those two fall into the sea?"

"I don't know," Merry said, shaking her head.

She was completely absorbed in listening to Nami and Xi Yan's conversation and didn't notice how Luffy and his companion fell into the sea.

Nami, as if she understood something, showed a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

Soon, thanks to Zoro's efforts, Luffy and Chopper successfully returned to their pirate ship.

"Cough cough..."

After spitting out a mouthful of water, Luffy stuck out his tongue and said, "I almost thought I was going to die."

"You scared me to death, Zoro!"

"Okay, okay."

Zoro patted Chopper on the back helplessly and said, "So, can you get off my face now?"

"I can't breathe..."

"Wow!"

"Zoro!!"

Zoro:...

Feeling increasingly short of breath, Zoro decisively ripped Chopper off his face.

Then, he took a long breath.

"Call..."

It feels so good to be able to breathe air freely.

"Zoro..."

Seeing Chopper looking at him with teary eyes, Zoro said helplessly, "Isn't everything alright now?"

He could understand Chopper; after all, the ocean was terrifying for Devil Fruit User, but... they were already on land.

"How did you suddenly fall down?" Xi Yan asked, puzzled, as he walked over.

"I don't know either," Chopper shook his head and said, "We were just lying on a cloud, but for some reason the cloud disappeared, and what we saw below turned into the sea."

Xi Yan:???

Upon hearing Chopper's words, several question marks immediately appeared above Xi Yan's head.

What does it mean when the area below turns into the sea?

"You did this?" Xi Yan turned to look at Nami and asked.

"How could that be?" Nami said, "The disappearance of the clouds was indeed related to me, but I didn't move them."

"It really is you!" Luffy, bristling with anger.

Nami:...

I've already said it wasn't her.

"What exactly happened?" Perona asked curiously.

"I was probably too engrossed in my thoughts just now, so I forgot about Luffy and Chopper riding on the cloud," Nami said, a little embarrassed.

As if understanding Nami's thoughts, Xi Yan said, "So when you deactivated your abilities, you just casually deactivated them all?"

"Right..."

Xi Yan's lips twitched upon hearing this; this mistake was a bit outrageous.

However, considering that Nami had only recently acquired this ability, Xi Yan found it reasonable.

It's normal to be unfamiliar with it.

"Oh, I see," Luffy said. "It wasn't intentional."

"Of course it wasn't intentional," Nami shook her head and said, "But it really is my fault, I'm sorry..."

"It's alright, it's alright, we're both fine, right, Chopper?"

"Um..."

Seeing that Nami didn't mean it, Chopper didn't say anything more and just nodded obediently.

"That doesn't make sense either," Franky said, puzzled. "You dispelled the cloud, but how did those two get to the open sea?"

Upon hearing this, doubt resurfaced in everyone's eyes.

Yes, how did those two get there?

"I don't know either," Nami said, shaking her head.

She definitely didn't do it, so she doesn't know what happened.

"Try again," Xi Yan said.

"Good."

Nami nodded and created a cloud with a wave of her hand.

Upon seeing this, Xi Yan jumped down without hesitation, intending to see what was going on.

"Nothing has changed," Usopp said.

"Don't rush," Xi Yan said. "Luffy and the others didn't go straight to the surface of the sea as soon as they came ashore."

After saying that, Xi Yan began to carefully observe the cloud, intending to see what was going on.

A moment later...

"I think I know what's going on," Xi Yan said, his lips twitching.

"Yes, we saw it too."

The cloud moved slowly towards the sea right before their eyes, without them even noticing.

"So, this cloud has its own consciousness, right?!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly.

"How could that be?" Nami said irritably, "It's just a cloud created by an ability, how could it possibly have consciousness?"

If she were truly conscious, she, as an ability user, would definitely be the first to know!

"What happened?"

"Because of the wind."

Nami pointed at Merry and said, "You shouldn't forget that Merry released the wind on the ship, right?"

"I remember," Luffy said, puzzled. "But what does that have to do with the movement of this cloud?"

"Of course it's related, you idiot!" Usopp said irritably. "Clouds move when the wind blows, that's why this cloud was blown away."

"So that's how it is!"

Luffy gave a look of Satori realization and said, "No wonder I fell into the sea."

Now he understood why he had fallen; it was because of Merry's wind.

"Sorry..."

Why apologize?

Luffy looked at Merry with a puzzled expression, clearly not expecting her to apologize so suddenly.

"Because of my wind," Merry said, head bowed, "Otherwise you wouldn't have fallen into the sea."

"But this isn't your fault," Luffy said, scratching his head. "After all, you didn't do it on purpose."

Who would have thought that the wind that was supposed to cool them off would cause them to fall into the sea?

"Yes, Merry." Chopper jumped off Zoro and came to Merry, saying, "This isn't your fault."

Really?

"Real!"

Seeing that the other party really didn't blame her, Merry recovered and said, "Then I'll fix the range of the Wind Return Circle on the Thousand Sunny, so even if you use clouds, you won't fall into the sea."

"Oh!" X2

Luffy and Chopper nodded simultaneously, then smiled and looked at Nami, saying, "Nami ~"

"Okay, okay."

Nami approached the group with a somewhat helpless expression and said, "If you want to play, come here."

"Yohohohoho~"

"Then I'll gladly accept," Brook said with a smile.

Usopp chuckled and said, "I think experimenting with abilities on clouds is a pretty good option!"

After saying that, Usopp and the others exchanged glances, then burst into laughter.

Hahaha~

Seeing how happy the others were, Nami also smiled.

Then she said, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems with the clouds this time."

She won't remove the cloud cover until she's sure everyone is safe.

"Profound!"

Luffy and the others nodded, then lay down comfortably on their respective cloud formations, enjoying the sun and the cool breeze.

Why am I suddenly feeling a little envious?

Hearing Xi Yan's words, Nami, who was looking at the Log Pointer, smiled and looked up, saying, "Then why don't you come too?"

After saying that, Nami created a few more cloud formations, signaling Zoro and the others to come and try it out.

Zoro and the others exchanged glances...

They lay down on the cloud and enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing time.

Ah~

"This feeling is amazing!"

"Right!"

Hahaha~
