ONE PIECE: START BY ACCEPTING LUFFY AS A STUDENT
CHAPTER 19

"Thank you, Mr. Carl! I'm sure I'll eat this Devil Fruit!"

Usopp hurriedly opened his mouth, lest Carl renege on his words, or Zangao and Nami would fight for it. If they miss this village, the shop will be gone.

Saying that, he took the Tengu fruit on the deck and bit it.

Then, vomit!

Usopp's face instantly turned purple, probably the first time in his life to eat such an unpleasant fruit.

Zango, Nami and Zoro panicked, thinking Usopp was poisoned, only Luffy and Carl couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha! Eat it hard, Devil Fruit!"

Both Luffy and Carl were a little arrogant, after all, they tasted it too.

Luffy was fine, he could eat anything, Carl almost died then, but he was cured.

However, Usopp sometimes became so cruel that he himself was afraid, and swallowed the porridge with a purple-colored face of sauce, then continued to take the rest of the porridge and eat it.

Just after he finished eating, Carl "just remembered".

"Oh, by the way, the Devil Fruit only takes one bite."

"You should have said this before!"

Usopp fainted, God knows he ate it all of a sudden with a bad taste, I worry it will be terrible to think about it in the future.

He thinks Carl and Luffy did it on purpose!

"Haha! Usopp, look at your abilities!" Luffy's interested.

Not only Luffy, but everyone was excited as well.

Usopp felt it for a while, and then his body instantly became strong and tall, and his muscles were full of strength like a macho who had been exercising for over ten years.

Moreover, a pair of huge black wings grew from his back.

His face turned red, his long nose became thick and long, his eyes became fierce, and his entire face looked majestic.

Carl was surprised: It turned out to be a Japanese tengu, but he thought it was a snarling tengu.

Usopp flapped his wings and flew into the sky, drifting recklessly through the air. It took a long time before he landed on the deck with unfinished business, and he became very confident.

"How's it?" Carl asked with a smile.

"I feel excited!"

Usopp said: "My current strength is over a hundred times stronger than before, and I can fly for a long time. Besides, there seems to be some special abilities that I have to keep exploring. But I'm sure that even if I go straight to the Grand Line right now, I He won't be a drag, and will be a major force in battle!"

Sure enough, once strong, people would be full of confidence.

Zangao and Liji looked at it enviously, hoping that they were the ones eating the Devil Fruit.

However, there was still a Devil Fruit!

Zango and Liji looked at each other, they were smart enough to know that this was still not their turn, because the navigators of this ship were still there, and they still had to line up.

But they're not worried, because the pirate group is quite powerful, and Carl has a Devil Fruit radar in his hand, and the Devil Fruit will keep coming, and they'll definitely be cast as an early crew member!

After Usopp showed his ability, everyone sat together again, all of them looking towards Carl.

In one sentence, Nami's entire body instantly stiffened.

Luffy and the others were full of curiosity, not knowing what was going on.

Nami clenched her fists, struggled for a long time before taking a deep breath, and slowly opened the short arm of her left arm.

"Here, this is the Dragon Pirate's mark! Nami, you..." Zengo could not help but exclaim.

The Dragon Pirates?

Usopp and Zoro looked at each other, they were not a single cell like Luffy, and many things could be understood just by thinking about them. Since Nami had the tattoo of the Dragon Pirate logo on her shoulder, it was self-evident.

"That's right, I didn't expect it to be found."

Tears welled up in Nami's eyes, but she held him back abruptly.

He showed an ugly smile and said, "That's right, I am a member of the Dragon Pirates' crew. I'm following you only for treasures, because you don't seem to like treasures, and your strength is still strong. As long as you are a thug, treasures will flow Continue to fall into my hands! I love money, you know it!"

Usopp, Zoro, Zango and Liji looked at each other without speaking.

Luffy was pressing down on the straw hat, no one could see his expression clearly.

Instead, Carl just looked at Nami directly, as if he wanted to see her heart, which made Nami panic.

He hurriedly said: "Since I have been found, then I don't plan to pretend anymore, let's go our separate ways. The treasure on the ship, the treasure, leave it to you, and treat it as my apology. If you're still not relieved, will If you kill me, I have nothing to say!"

solitude.

There was silence all over the ship.

The seawater in the ears gushed out again and again, as if it was Nami's current mood.

Carl said this time: "Luffy, you are the captain, you can tell."

Luffy raised his head, with a very serious face, "Nami, we are partners! Nami is the only navigator I know!"

Nami finally couldn't help it, and her tears fell.

Seeing this, Zoro and the others heaved a sigh of relief, and Kakuzu smiled.

Even Zang Gao, he was originally a cold and ruthless pirate, but after only a few days in the Straw Hats, he was greatly affected, and now he had been fully integrated into the group.

"Sorry! Sorry everyone! Woohooo! Sorry!"

Nami couldn't stop crying.

Carl had to pat his head, and said softly: "Nami, the captain is right, you are our partner, you can tell us something. You have to believe me, Luffy's strength has overtaken Admiral Sea, East Blue No one's opponent, and there's nothing unbreakable!"

With Carl's comfort, Nami quickly recovered.

He began to tell everything about himself: Eight years ago, the murlocs of the Dragon Pirates came to East Blue, ruling over twenty villages including Nami's hometown in Cocosia Village, and ask all the villagers to pay the protection fee. 100,000 berries for adults and 50,000 Berries for children. The Nami family was poor, with only 100,000 Berry. Nami's adoptive mother uses 100,000 Berry as protection money for Nami and her sister Nuo Qigao, but she dies under a dragon weapon.

Later, an evil dragon discovers Nami's talent in drawing nautical maps, so he makes a deal with Nami: Nami joins forces with an evil dragon pirate and helps the pirate draw a map, and as long as Nami produced 100 million Berry, she would be able to buy the village back.

This has been done for eight years...

Nami did not say how the eight years came, but even Luffy could imagine how difficult it was.

Nami was only eight years old!
