"Click..."
In Bellere's house, in the room of the three little ones, Nami gently pushed open an air door.
She tiptoed and peeked into the room. Seeing no one, she walked out with light steps.
Ryuen did the sa. They both returned to the room and let out a long breath, feeling much more relaxed.
Ryuen and Nami looked at each other and smiled with relief.
"Great, Ryuen, Bellere and the others aren't back yet." Little Nami was happy. The later they were discovered, the later she would get scolded.
"Yes, Nami, let's put the at in the fridge first, or it will spoil." Ryuen said softly.
"Huh? Then let's do it quickly!" Little Nami imdiately ran to the kitchen.
After opening the space door, they started putting the pieces of at into the fridge, and Ryuen quickly ca to help.
But there was too much Beast King at, and their fridge couldn't hold it all.
They had no choice but to go to Genzo's house and fill his fridge too, but there was still a lot left.
"What should we do, Ryuen? There's still so much left..." Little Nami looked at the Beast King at in the space, frowning.
"We'll have to wait for Bellere and the others to co back and figure it out. Tonight, we'll have a barbecue feast!" Ryuen had no other solution, so they would just eat more tonight.
In the future, they would need to buy several big fridges, and Nami's space would need so too.
The two of them walked back to Bellere's house, and halfway there, they ran into Bellere and Nojiko coming ho.
Nami saw Bellere from a distance and ran over: "Bellere, you ca back just in ti! There's so much at left, we don't know what to do with it. Bellere, what should we do..."
"What at? Where is it?" Bellere asked, confused.
Ryuen slapped his forehead. Nami was so focused on the at that she forgot about their trip to sea.
Sure enough, when Bellere asked, Nami realized.
She didn't know how to explain and looked pitifully at Ryuen.
"Well... Bellere, we went to sea today." Ryuen said, bracing himself.
They had to confess sooner or later, so it didn't matter if it was now or later.
"What!!!"
Suddenly, Bellere's angry roar echoed through Cocoyasi Village!
Half an hour later, at Bellere's house, Ryuen and Nami stood with their heads down in front of Bellere.
Nojiko was hiding at the door, listening in.
After scolding Ryuen and Nami for half an hour, Bellere finally cald down a bit.
"So, Nami is a devil fruit user now?" Bellere asked seriously.
"Yes, Bellere, I'm a Door-Door Fruit user now. I can open doors anywhere. Look!" Nami said excitedly.
Hearing Bellere ask about the devil fruit, she forgot about the scolding and proudly opened a space door in front of everyone.
Nojiko, who was peeking from the room, was shocked.
"This is amazing..." Bellere said, her expression complicated.
Devil fruits were very rare treasures of the sea. She had been in the Marines for so long and never encountered one.
But now, two of her three kids were devil fruit users.
She knew that people who ate devil fruits couldn't be seen as normal anymore.
"We'll deal with the at tomorrow. Tonight, we'll have a barbecue feast. Ryuen, go get Genzo to co back early." Bellere said with a smile.
"Okay, Bellere, I'll go right away!" Ryuen quickly went to the village to call Genzo back.
Seeing Bellere calm down, Nami's little heart finally relaxed.
Then she happily told Bellere about her and Ryuen's adventure at sea.
Nojiko ca out of her room after things cald down.
When Bellere heard that they had gone to Oykot Kingdom, her face beca serious again.
"Nami, you can't go to Oykot Kingdom anymore, understand?" Bellere warned.
Although she knew it was Nojiko and Nami's hotown, her investigation in the Marines back then showed that the destruction of that country was not normal.
She was afraid Nami might encounter danger in Oykot Kingdom.
"So... Bellere, does that an Ryuen and I can go to sea in the future?" Nami asked in disbelief.
"Yes! I agree, but you must report to first!" Bellere said sternly.
Now that Ryuen and Nami were Devil Fruit users, Cocoyasi Village couldn't hold them back. It was better to let them fly free.
"Wow! That's great, Bellere, thank you!" Little Nami cheered, dancing with joy.
From now on, she could finally go to sea freely with Ryuen!
"Alright, I'll go prepare the barbecue tools." Bellere said as she walked into the kitchen.
Neither of them noticed the hint of envy on Nojiko's face.
She was still a child too, and of course, she wanted to go to sea and play with Ryuen like Nami.
At this mont, Nami walked over to Nojiko and happily said, "Great, Nojiko, we can go to sea together in the future, but..."
At this point, little Nami's eyes sparkled, and she circled around Nojiko.
"Hey? Nami, are you saying I can go to sea too?"
Nojiko didn't notice Nami's look. Did she hear Nami say she wanted her to go to sea too?
Suddenly, Nojiko's face lit up with a happy smile. As expected of her sister, she thought of her even when going out to play.
"Nojiko, according to Ryuen, you're too weak now.
You need to train hard and get stronger. Going to sea is very dangerous!" Little Nami said seriously, like a little adult.
"But... but Nami, I can't go to sea with you now.
Bellere can't handle everything at ho alone, I need to stay and help!" Nojiko said seriously, putting away her smile.
Now that Ryuen and Nami were mysterious Devil Fruit users, she was just an ordinary person. Going to sea with them would only hold them back.
"Um... that's true... Bellere can't manage alone.
But in the future, our family won't lack Berries. Then you can go to sea with us.
Ryuen and I will protect you, Nojiko, hahaha~" Little Nami said proudly, patting Nojiko's shoulder.
"Darn it! Who needs your protection? You're the younger sister, I'm the older sister, I should protect you!" Nojiko said defiantly.
"I'm stronger than you!"
"I'm the older sister!"
"I'm stronger than you!"
