Once everyone had returned to the ship,
Chopper immediately noticed the treasure chest Nami was holding in her arms and quickly ran over, asking curiously,
"Is this a treasure chest? Did you find a hidden treasure chest in the 'Golden City'?"
As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but sparkle slightly.
Carina heard him and immediately couldn't help but tease,
"You look exactly like Nami did back then, Chopper."
"Huh?"
Chopper was slightly stunned by her words, his expression looking a bit bewildered.
Nami, however, didn't pay attention to any of this.
After placing the treasure chest on the deck table, she immediately hurried into the ship's cabin, then came out with the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.
The others, seeing this, understood Nami's intention and sat down quietly around her, watching.
Nami walked to the table, opened the box, took out the Devil Fruit inside, and then opened the encyclopedia to carefully compare and search.
Meanwhile, Will walked into the ship's cabin and glanced at Enel, finding that he was still unconscious. So, he returned to the deck. He walked over to Nami, picked up a bottle of sherry from the table, flicked the cap off with his thumb with a 'pop,' and then tilted his head back, drinking the entire bottle.
Placing the bottle back on the table, he lowered his head and asked curiously,
"How is it? Have you found the information on this fruit?"
"Not yet. I haven't seen it in the Logia or Zoan types."
Nami replied casually, her eyes intently poring over the pages,
"Now, only the Paramecia type is left."
She continued to flip through a few more pages.
Suddenly, she exclaimed with surprise and a smile, "Found it!"
"Hmm?"
Will and the others nearby immediately turned their heads to look.
Nami, with a smile on her face, held up the encyclopedia, showing everyone the illustrations and text within:
"Look, it's this one, Paramecia Type: Air-Air Fruit!"
The few of them walked closer to observe, then compared it to the fruit on the table, finding that their appearances were indeed identical.
"Air-Air Fruit…"
Carina crossed her arms, leaning in slightly, and carefully read the text recorded above:
"After consuming this fruit, one can release four different states of air currents from their hands: dry, wet, cold, and hot, thereby producing various effects…"
"And these air currents can also be compressed into a ball in the hand, and their effect will be enhanced when released…"
Upon hearing these words,
The others nearby also couldn't help but show thoughtful expressions.
From the described effects, it indeed perfectly matched the characteristics of a Paramecia Devil Fruit.
Weird and wonderful, boundless imagination.
"It turns out we got a Paramecia type fruit this time."
Will picked up the Devil Fruit on the table, pondered for a moment, then looked around at the crew members on the ship.
Immediately after,
He suddenly paused, realizing that besides Nami, everyone else on his ship had already eaten a Devil Fruit and become a Devil Fruit user.
However, this was good.
This way, he wouldn't need to overthink the ownership of this Devil Fruit anymore.
So Will directly handed the fruit in his hand to Nami, who was standing nearby, and said with a meaningful smile,
"Nami, do you want to become a superpowered beautiful girl?"
"Take it. This Devil Fruit is for you to consume."
"Huh?! For me?!"
Nami took it in a daze, then held the fruit in her hand and said in surprise,
"Will, aren't you planning to sell it for money this time?"
"Money?"
Will raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly,
"Have you forgotten? We just got a huge amount of treasure and gold here on Sky Island."
"Even the treasure room on the ship is completely full. Do we still need to sell Devil Fruit?"
"Besides, you know me."
"Selling fruits is too troublesome. I don't have that much time and energy to find suitable buyers."
"So, instead of selling it, it's better to just let you eat it, so you can quickly enhance your strength."
As he spoke, he slowly spread his hands, motioning for Nami to look at the people around them:
"And look, among the people on this ship, besides me, you are the only one who hasn't eaten a Devil Fruit yet."
"Given the restriction that one can only eat one fruit, this fruit can be said to be destined for you."
"This…"
Nami was slightly stunned, then her expression became a bit enlightened, realizing that what Will said was indeed true.
Even she hadn't noticed that among all the crew members, she was the only one who hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit yet.
Seeing that Nami had understood, Will immediately pressed on, urging with a smile,
"Alright, don't hesitate anymore, Nami, eat it quickly."
"Everyone is still waiting for you. Remember to eat the entire fruit."
Hearing this, Nami couldn't help but look around, realizing that everyone else was indeed silently watching her.
"That's right, that's right!"
At this moment, Carina suddenly added fuel to the fire with a chuckle,
"Eat it quickly, Nami. Actually, the fruit doesn't taste as bad as you think."
"Don't think about refusing, you can't pass it on to anyone this time."
Robin also couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, saying softly,
"The taste of the Devil Fruit… is indeed very 'ordinary,' but it certainly leaves a 'deep impression.'"
"Hmm… This old man… It's hard to comment…"
Issho's expression was hesitant, and his hand gripping the staff-sword tightened slightly.
"Uh… that…"
Chopper didn't know what to say, so he raised his hand and seriously encouraged, "Go for it! Nami!"
"You guys…"
After hearing everyone's words, Nami's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
She remembered very clearly that when Carina ate the Devil Fruit in the East Blue, her expression immediately became very unpleasant.
However, thinking about how the fruit's ability could quickly enhance her strength, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After generating some ideas related to this in her mind, Nami's eyes gradually firmed up.
"Alright, then I'll eat it!"
After saying that,
She immediately took a deep breath, and after preparing herself mentally, she directly took a bite of the fruit in her hand.
As soon as she chewed it twice in her mouth, Nami's face instantly became extremely unpleasant.
A taste far more disgusting than she had imagined was violently assaulting her taste buds.
Nami, worried that she might throw up, quickly raised her hand and forcefully covered her mouth.
Gulp…
After forcefully swallowing the fruit pulp in her mouth, she lowered her head to look at the fruit in her hand, a hint of fear arising in her eyes.
So Nami didn't dare to think any further, closed her eyes, and with a burst of determination, she directly ate the entire fruit.
Fortunately, with the taste of the first bite as a reference, the subsequent fruit pulp was barely acceptable.
"Hmph, hahahaha."
Will couldn't help but burst into laughter, raising his hand and gently rubbing Nami's head, praising,
"Not bad, not bad! As expected of my Will's crew member!"
The corners of the others' mouths also couldn't help but curve into smiles.
"Pfft~!"
Carina first covered her mouth and chuckled, then forced herself to hold it in, asking curiously,
"Little Cat Burglar, how do you feel now?"
"I feel…"
Nami's eyes flickered, and she slowly raised her hands:
"Inside my body, a strange power seems to be gradually spreading."
After speaking,
A cunning glint flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly raised her hand towards Carina, curling her fingers slightly, and said with a smile,
"Cold Air Current—!"
Whoosh—!
As the sound spread, a rapid gust of air immediately gushed out from Nami's palm.
Carina, caught off guard, immediately felt a cold wind blow across her body, as if she had instantly entered winter.
Shivering from the cold wind, she quickly raised her hands and rubbed her arms, her expression quite speechless:
"You, you're really vindictive…!"
"Hehe~."
Nami chuckled, then turned and smiled at Robin, who was nearby:
"Try this again, Hot Air Current—!"
Whoosh—!
Feeling the wave of heat sweeping over her body, Robin immediately couldn't help but break out in a sweat on her forehead, and commented thoughtfully,
"This feeling is like suddenly entering a scorching summer."
As she spoke, she also raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her face, but still, droplets slid down her neck into the depths below.
Nami then turned her palm towards Chopper, ignoring his terrified gaze, and chuckled,
"Taste this, Wet Air Current—!"
Whoosh—!
Immediately after, she quickly turned to Issho and ambushed him,
"And this move, Dry Air Current—!"
Whoosh—!
Chopper and Issho, who were blown by the two air currents respectively.
The former only felt his entire body's fur become wet and sticky, which was very uncomfortable.
While the latter, although able to dodge, still chose to try it, and then he suddenly felt a bit parched.
Just when Chopper couldn't take it anymore,
Nami laughed and blew another dry air current at him, making him instantly feel much refreshed.
As for Issho, he had already picked up the tea from the nearby table and was gulping it down.
Although Will, who was nearby, wasn't attacked, he still keenly discovered the potential of this fruit.
"Nami, you should be able to release different air currents from each of your hands, right?"
"That's right."
Nami nodded at his words, raised both hands, and released some air currents to circulate around them. Her left hand became hot, while her right hand became cold.
"It seems you can also freely control the strength of the air currents."
Will looked thoughtful at the sight, then seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly said,
"Come, first try to control the dry air current in your palm, then compress it into a ball."
"Huh?"
Nami felt a bit surprised by his words, but still chose to obediently comply.
She saw her hands facing each other, fingers slightly bent, then both hands continuously released dry air currents inwards, rapidly compressing them into a ball.
Subsequently, a pale yellow air current ball gradually formed between her palms.
"Good." Will immediately said, "Nami, try to continue releasing air currents, and then compress them again."
"Yes!"
Nami nodded seriously, then her eyes tightened slightly, and she again tried to release dry air currents, continuing to control the air currents to contract within the sphere.
Gradually, the air current ball began to undergo drastic changes.
Buzz… crackle… crackle crackle crackle—!
Along with a cacophony of electrical sounds, the originally pale yellow air current ball rapidly transformed into a shimmering golden-yellow electric ball.
"This… this is?!"
Nami looked at her palm in surprise, finding it incredibly unbelievable.
"Huh?"
Carina also couldn't help but exclaim, "How did those air currents suddenly turn into electricity?!"
Will smiled with satisfaction at the sight, then slowly began to explain, "It's static electricity."
"In extremely dry and windy conditions, static electricity is very easily generated."
"And as these dry air currents are continuously compressed together, the inside of the air current ball in Nami's hand becomes increasingly dry."
"Thus, a large amount of static electricity gradually forms inside the air current ball."
"Furthermore, because this air current is constantly flowing rapidly within it, this static electricity quickly transforms into an electric current."
"And since this electric current all originates from the dry air current, Nami can still control the electric ball in her hand."
"So that's how it is." The people around them immediately showed expressions of realization.
And after explaining to everyone, Will also felt quite emotional about it:
"As expected of the One Piece world. Although the upper limit of the Devil Fruit's ability originates from humanity's overall knowledge and cognitive level,"
"One can still make various bold attempts, and perhaps there will be unexpected gains."
He then cast aside the thoughts in his mind, suddenly took two steps back, and raised his hand to signal Nami, who was joyfully playing with the electric ball in her hand:
"Nami, quickly blow the electric ball over and let's see how powerful it is."
"Yes!"
Nami nodded quickly at his words, simultaneously stopping her hand movements.
From there, she immediately controlled the electric ball with one hand and aimed it forward:
"Dry Air Current—!"
Whoosh—!
The air current rapidly released from her palm, and the electric ball was immediately propelled forward, then swiftly collided with Will's chest.
Crackle crackle crackle—!
Along with a chaotic electrical sound, the electric ball instantly vanished.
Will carefully felt it out, then said thoughtfully,
"The attack power is relatively limited. It's fine for dealing with ordinary people."
"But if the opponent's physical defense is strong enough, it will basically have little effect."
Just as Nami felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this, he added with a smile,
"However, I feel that this fruit still has great potential."
"You can use your knowledge of weather to try and continuously develop your fruit ability."
In fact, upon seeing the electric ball successfully generated,
Will immediately thought of the metal staff Nami used in the original work, whose origin was unknown.
The abilities of that staff were even more miraculous than many Devil Fruits.
